The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

137: Chapter 137 The First Meeting with Tang LianshengTang Liansheng instructed his subordinates to secretly investigate who had betrayed him back then, but the years were long, and many events had been lost in the river of history due to turmoil. Furthermore, his wife had passed away in a car accident early on, so he couldn’t inquire about the situation from the person involved.

However, in the face of ironclad evidence like the appraisal report, pursuing past matters was no longer that important.

It had to be said that the old man’s health was truly excellent; facing the fact that he had raised children for others for so many years, his body still held up.

After calming down, he instructed Tang Yi to keep the secret for the time being and began his own arrangements.

At the restaurant at this moment

Tang Liansheng watched the two unrelated children making fools of themselves. His heart was not feeling good either, after all, he had raised them since childhood.

He sighed deeply, ”I will arrange a set of apartments for each of you and give you a monthly salary of 50,000. Your positions in the company will be changed to consultants. If I pass away in the future, as long as Tang Yi can still be in charge of the company, I will keep paying you. You don’t need to visit me if you have nothing to do. This way, we can at least preserve the last shred of dignity between us.”

For an elder born before the founding of the nation, even if he was open-minded, the traditional thinking rooted in his bones was deeply ingrained. He could not tolerate the children of the neighbors, Old Wang’s family, flaunting themselves before his eyes every day.

Tang Zhiyuan reacted at this moment, rushed over, grabbed Tang Liansheng’s leg, and wailed, ”Dad, you can’t treat me like this! I have made contributions to the company and exerted myself for the family!”

Tang Xijun on the side also lay on the ground and began to wail. Her problem was much more serious than Tang Zhiyuan’s; once she left her father’s protection, she would go to jail in minutes.

”Hurry up and pull these two bastards away! One is neither male nor female, and the other framed his own biological younger brother. I, Tang Liansheng, have never done anything wicked in my life, so it’s true that these two brats are not my flesh and blood.”

Fu Bo called two bodyguards from the house to drag the two away. Tang Liansheng was still muttering curses there.

”Dad, please calm your anger. It’s not worth it if your health is ruined by anger,” Tang Yi persuaded from the side.

The old man’s anger had not subsided, and Tang Yi happened to run into the muzzle of the gun: ”Are you too idle, kid? Have you finished all the matters of the company? Are you just here to watch your old man make a fool of himself?”

The three soul-searching questions left Tang Yi standing awkwardly, so he could only stammer out, ”I originally planned to introduce someone to you today, but I didn’t expect Big Brother to be so impatient. As soon as Second Sister returned, he made a move. Perhaps I should notify him to postpone the visit?”

Tang Liansheng snorted coldly, ”The person behind the scenes can’t wait to show up so soon? Fine! Bring the person directly to my study. I, this old man, want to see who is disturbing the peace of my Tang family residence.”

Tang Yi was a bit awkward, but since the words had come to this point, he could only go outside to receive the person.

Not long after, a taxi stopped at the villa entrance, and the person who got out was none other than Zhang Wei. Considering the possibility of needing to toast Old Master Tang, he hadn’t even driven his own car.

Since returning during this period, Zhang Wei had returned to a normal life: waking up naturally every day, then going to Sun Yicheng’s place to listen to her ”work reports,” and then accompanying An Xiaoxi and her group of girlfriends shopping as a porter.

After helping Lu Yuhan find her beloved dog last time, she treated the two to a meal. Lu Yuhan and An Xiaoxi got along so well that they chatted incessantly.

Later, they arranged another gathering and invited Chen Jiayan along. Unexpectedly, the two already knew each other! Now, the three quickly became inseparable best friends.

It was only Zhang Wei who suffered. He had originally planned to ask the rich young lady at the dinner table how much reward he could get for finding the dog. As a result, not only did the money vanish, but he also frequently had to act as a porter for the three.

The most infuriating thing was that the last time they were out shopping, a fervent male fan of Lu Yuhan ran into them and kept saying how envious he was that Zhang Wei could carry things for the ’National Wife,’ claiming it was a blessing cultivated in a past life. This left Zhang Wei utterly stunned.

Of course, Zhang Wei hadn’t completely relaxed; he had also undertaken quite a few intelligence missions during this time. It was just that there were no large sums of intelligence rewards, so it only counted as earning some living expenses.

”If I go in now, the old man in your house won’t eat me, will he?” After Tang Yi briefly explained what had just happened in the villa, Zhang Wei felt a little apprehensive.

Tang Yi was also uncertain but could only comfort him, ”The problem shouldn’t be too big. After all, I am his only son now. I’ll say a few good words for you on the side later.”

The two walked into the old man’s study. At this time, Tang Liansheng was sitting in his seat, exuding an imposing aura that made people unable to breathe.

Tang Yi stepped forward and bowed, ”Father, the person is here.” Then he stepped aside to reveal Zhang Wei behind him.

”Hello, Old Master Tang. My name is Zhang Wei. I apologize for disturbing your rest so late.”

Tang Liansheng focused his gaze and saw a young man about the same age as his youngest son. He was somewhat surprised, and the imposing aura he radiated suddenly dissipated.

”Is this the Zhang family from Province S or the Zhang family from Province M? Why did you send a mere child? Are your elders looking down on me too much?” Tang Liansheng’s face immediately turned grim. He thought he was being slighted.

Zhang Wei was a bit baffled: ”Neither. I am here representing myself for a visit, that’s all.”

Tang Liansheng hadn’t quite processed it? The mastermind who had turned his family upside down was this unknown young man standing before him?

The two stared at each other, and the study fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the situation, Tang Yi quickly stepped forward to introduce Zhang Wei’s background to Tang Liansheng.

But the more he spoke, the more absurd the old man found it, until finally, his eyes widened in shock. The owner of the imperial seal of china, who started from scratch to amass a fortune worth hundreds of millions, who was valued and treated like a nephew by the heads of the Zhu Group and Xuzhou Heavy Industry. Even more outrageously, he recently established a jewelry company that was directly jointly branded with the Shenghai Museum and the National Space Administration! All these achievements sounded completely impossible for an ordinary young man to accomplish.

Zhang Wei said humbly from the side, ”These are all insignificant trifles, nothing compared to you, Old Master Tang.”

”Hmph, I can’t accept your praise.” Although he had developed some favorable feelings toward this young man who, like him, had started from scratch, the thought of his family’s situation immediately reignited his anger. He couldn’t help but mock, ”I wonder what price my youngest son paid for you to scheme so diligently on his behalf?”

”Not much. Tang Yi promised me a reward of one billion after the matter was settled,” Zhang Wei answered truthfully. He wasn’t as nervous now. After all, without him, the old man’s family fortune would have gone to someone else. If Tang Yi had suffered an accident, he might have been completely cut off from descendants. Thinking of this, one billion didn’t seem like much.

Tang Liansheng pointed his finger at Zhang Wei and sneered, ”One billion for an heir is quite a bargain. It’s a pity those two fools were fooled by you without even realizing it.”

”That can’t be said. After all, those two were the ones who did excessive things to Tang Yi first. Aren’t they not allowed to fight back?” Zhang Wei was unconcerned by the old man’s statement.

”That’s true, but you forgot one thing.” Tang Liansheng now wore a playful smile: ”I am the Chairman of Tang Sheng Culture now. I plan to default on the ten billion debt. What can you do to me?”

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded. This Old Master Tang wasn’t playing by the rules!
