The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 356: Chapter 357 I Love Him

“Chairman Tang has treated everyone well, and you all know it better than I do. Now that the group is in trouble, we should work together to overcome the difficulties,” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

“With what means? Only if Chairman Tang gets that coward Su Changfeng to come out and apologize will it work, otherwise how can we fight Elder Zhou?”

“That’s right, unless Chairman Tang agrees to let Su Changfeng kneel and apologize, otherwise we can only leave. No one wants to risk their future.”

“Everyone also needs to live. We cannot sacrifice our future for the group.”

Voices of rebuttal arose, and many people began to state their positions. They all agreed to go work for Tang Xiangdong’s group. Now the internal issues of the group had erupted, causing a real crisis for the Tang Group.

Tang Qiulu never expected the situation to become like this. Losing those from the Tang Family wasn’t detrimental to the group, but among these employees, many were the backbone of the group. Once they left, the group would truly be in danger.

“Whoever wants to leave, I won’t force them to stay,” Tang Qiulu said after taking a deep breath. Even if everyone in the group left, she would never make Su Changfeng come out to apologize.

“Chairman Tang, sorry, but we all want to survive,” someone said.

“Sigh, is it really worth it to let the whole group get dragged into this because of a coward?”

“It’s best to leave early, otherwise we’ll end up unemployed sooner or later.”

Tang Qiulu stood there with an expressionless face, watching her old subordinates, who had all joined Tang Xiangdong’s new group. Now, only Wang Xiaoxiao remained standing behind her.

“Chairman Tang, I trust you. I will stay with the group through thick and thin,” Wang Xiaoxiao said firmly to Tang Qiulu. Although she also believed that the crisis was significant, Tang Qiulu had been particularly good to her, and she wouldn’t act ungratefully now.

Tang Qiulu smiled happily and said, “Don’t worry, I surely won’t let the group fall like this.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Tang Siwen came over to Tang Qiulu, full of emotional sentiments, complaining irritably: “You really do love that coward Su Changfeng deeply. Why didn’t I see you be so passionate towards him before? Now you’re willing to not care about the group for his sake.”

“Tang Siwen, this has nothing to do with you. Shouldn’t you be particularly happy if the group goes bankrupt?” Tang Qiulu said.

“Of course,” Tang Siwen replied without even thinking. “I’m really happy about it, but I just can’t figure out what exactly Su Changfeng, that garbage, has given you to make you willingly do this?”

“I love him,” Tang Qiulu said.

“Pfft…” Tang Siwen couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Tang Qiulu while saying: “Interesting, truly interesting, for a coward to have a place in your heart. Tang Qiulu, your taste is really beyond words. I hope when you’re sleeping on the streets with him, you’ll still say that.”

“No matter what the circumstances are, the love between him and me has always been the same. Someone like you, a gold-digger, couldn’t possibly understand,” Tang Qiulu said coldly.

After hearing Tang Qiulu’s words, Tang Siwen wasn’t angry. Instead, she raised her head proudly and said, “So what if I’m a gold-digger? What’s wrong with wanting a better life in the future? Should I be like you? Follow a coward and sleep on the streets? Offend Elder Zhou, and when the group goes bankrupt, you’ll soon become beggars. Even if that day really comes, I won’t want it either!”

Talking about feelings with someone like Tang Siwen was simply an insult to the word ‘feelings,’ so Tang Qiulu didn’t want to say more to her and just turned her head toward Zhou Chaohai.

“Elder Zhou, do what you can, Tang Qiulu will not back down. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first,” Tang Qiulu said.

Now, within Zhou Chaohai’s heart, there was a slight admiration for Tang Qiulu; even with things this bad, she still didn’t bend, willing to put the entire group at risk to protect her husband.

But it was only admiration because Zhou Chaohai never showed mercy when it came to dealing with opponents.

This time, with things turning out like this, if he didn’t completely destroy the Tang Group, he’d become a laughingstock.

“Tang Qiulu, I hope we can still talk like this in the future, but from my perspective, I don’t think I’ll be speaking to beggars in the future. Just you wait,” Zhou Chaohai said coldly before angrily leaving with a group of old guys.

The employees of the Tang Group left as well, and those from the Tang Family looked at Tang Qiulu with mocking expressions, as if in their eyes, love was a joke. Moreover, doing this for a coward was indeed very unworthy.

“Tang Qiulu, you handle it on your own.”

“Falling in love with a freeloader, you really are foolish.”

“In the future, if you can’t afford to eat, I’ll consider giving you some leftover food out of our past relations.”

After several elders of the Tang Family finished speaking, they stood behind Tang Xiangdong.

“Donglin, let’s leave too. There’s no point talking with someone like her who’s soon to be finished,” Tang Siwen said disdainfully to Tang Qiulu, then turned to Tang Xiangdong.

Tang Dong nodded with great satisfaction and said, “Really nothing to say, let’s go. Only I, Tang Xiangdong, can provide everyone with a happy life. Tang Qiulu will only drag everyone down.”

After everyone left, Tang Qiulu finally relaxed her tense nerves, exhaling a long breath.

“Chairman Tang, now that all the employees have left, what should we do?” Wang Xiaoxiao asked Tang Qiulu. Tang Xiangdong’s words had incited all the employees to leave, effectively turning the Tang Group into an empty nest.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come up with a solution. For now, you should go home and rest. It’s paid leave,” Tang Qiulu said.

Wang Xiaoxiao was filled with concern. The group needed employees for its daily operations, but now that the old staff was gone, even if Tang Qiulu could find a way to recruit new employees, these new people would be unfamiliar with the internal operations and would need time to get acquainted. Coupled with the recent targeting by Zhou Chaohai, Wang Xiaoxiao could not see a way for the group to survive.

Of course, her concern wasn’t about losing her job; she was worried about Tang Qiulu.

“Chairman Tang, I’m not worried about being unemployed. I just don’t want to see the group being ruined by those old guys,” Wang Xiaoxiao said.

Tang Qiulu knew what kind of person Wang Xiaoxiao was. If she were worried about losing her job, she would have gone directly with that group to Tang Xiangdong’s new company and wouldn’t have stayed.
