Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang imdiately beca extrely anxious.
"Family Head, the Aixue Group posted an announcent online today seeking business partners," the female director reported, touching her hair as she connected her tablet to the large-screen computer in the reception room. "Here are all the companies currently being screened, along with a list of those that have successfully signed contracts."
The list of signed companies instantly appeared on the screen.
"Holy shit... this fast?" Tang Yuxiang exclaid, his eyes filling with doubt. "But these are all just minor, unremarkable families. Are you sure the Aixue Group really signed contracts with them?" he asked, staring grimly at the female director.
"I even have photos of their electronic contract signings," she continued. "I had to pull so strings to get these. Any company with a good reputation that applied was able to sign multiple agreents. They were direct, three-year contracts with the Aixue Group."
As soon as the director said this, Tang Yuxiang’s jaw dropped in shock, and the other Tang Family mbers stared with wide eyes.
Was the Aixue Group, such a powerful financial consortium, really signing agreents so hastily? Even though they knew the Aixue Group had many projects, they had expected them to at least choose companies of comparable strength. They couldn’t just take anyone who walked in the door. Even when the Tang Family managed projects, they carefully selected and cooperated with well-matched companies. Yet the Aixue Group disregarded all that and only cared about reputation? It seed they truly were extraordinary!
"Even those small workshops got contracts. It seems the Aixue Group is quite magnanimous."
"Our Tang Family is a long-established, legitimate enterprise. We’ll definitely be able to sign an agreent!" Old Master Tang slamd the table and exclaid excitedly.
"That’s right, Grandpa!"
"Exactly! We can definitely do it this ti!"
"Our Tang Family is countless tis stronger than those small workshops!"
At these words, all the Tang Family mbers cheered as if they had already secured the three-year contract with the Aixue Group.
"Director Liu, you’ve done well. Your quarterly bonus for this month is doubled!" Old Master Tang announced generously.
Hearing this, the female director nodded excitedly in thanks.
"Hmph. I wonder who it was just saying the Aixue Group wouldn’t sign a deal with the Tang Family?" Tang Chuchu looked at Qin Long with a cold, mocking smile. "Are you looking for a hole to crawl into right now?"
The other Tang Family mbers also wore expressions as if they were watching a joke unfold. Originally, the Old Master had intended to give this opportunity to Tang Xuewu. As long as she agreed, this great achievent would have been hers. But Qin Long had completely ruined it for her.
"Why don’t you get the agreent first, then we’ll talk," Qin Long shrugged indifferently, his expression calm.
"Oh, co on, isn’t it a done deal?" Tang Chuchu said, sipping her tea with a disdainful expression. "Qin Long, aren’t you a bit overconfident? Listening to you, one might think you’re the largest shareholder of the Aixue Group."
"That’s right. I am the largest shareholder," Qin Long stated directly, his expression perfectly serious.
His words were t with a burst of laughter. This Qin Long was so full of himself!
"Alright! That settles it," Old Master Tang declared. "The cooperation agreent with the Aixue Group will be handled by Yuxiang and Chuchu."
Upon hearing the Old Master’s words, Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu couldn’t have been happier.
Although Tang Xuewu seed indifferent on the surface, she was deeply disappointed. After all, she had missed such a great opportunity to prove her worth. Her grandfather had chosen her, but she had rejected the offer. Now, she could only watch them gloat in front of her.
"Yuxiang, Chuchu, quickly familiarize yourselves with the Aixue Group’s business operations," the Old Master instructed. "Then go register with them and start negotiations. Rember, any kind of business will do, as long as they give us an opportunity. Of course, it would be best if you could snatch a few good projects. Hurry up, before all the good ones are taken."
Old Master Tang personally handed them the Aixue Group’s docunts and saw them to the door.
"Don’t worry, Grandpa. We guarantee we’ll complete the mission," Tang Yuxiang said, casting a disdainful glance at Tang Xuewu. "And I have to thank Sister Xuewu for refusing! When I land a huge order, I’ll co back and treat you all to a feast!"
As he spoke, Tang Yuxiang sneered inwardly. It was originally Tang Xuewu’s opportunity, but that idiot Qin Long ruined it. She must hate his guts right now, right? But it’s too late for regrets.
Seeing the pained look on Tang Xuewu’s face, Qin Long deliberately provoked Tang Yuxiang. "Even small workshops are getting contracts. If you, Tang Yuxiang, can’t secure an agreent, you’ll be a laughingstock."
"Haha, don’t you worry. If I fail to get the agreent, I’ll co back, kneel, and call you ’Grandpa.’ But if I succeed, what then?" Tang Yuxiang sneered, staring intently at Qin Long.
"I’ll leave the Tang Family of my own accord."
Seeing the fool Qin Long take the bait, Tang Yuxiang was overjoyed. I can definitely do this. After all, if even tiny companies can get contracts, how could our Tang Family fail? We’re an established business and were once a first-rate family!
"Alright, that’s all for today’s family eting," Old Master Tang waved his hand. "Let’s await the good news from Yuxiang and Chuchu." His gaze swept over the crowd before finally landing on Tang Xuewu. He sighed helplessly, "Xuewu, your courage and insight are getting weaker and weaker."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewu’s pretty face fell, filled with distress. Maybe I really shouldn’t have let Qin Long’s words affect .
「Elsewhere—Jiangzhong City’s Wanlong Plaza」
The Wanlong Group had invested in a super-skyscraper in the heart of Jiangzhong City. It was surrounded by core governnt departnts, a subway station, and a hospital, making it an extrely convenient location for business. Many corporations had spent fortunes pulling strings just to rent a small office of a few dozen square ters, but the Aixue Group had bought the entire Wanlong Building outright. The forty-nine-story skyscraper instantly beca the core of the group’s operations.
Money works wonders. In the face of such imnse financial power, such matters were trivial. As a result, even the president of the Wanlong Group had invested in the Aixue Group, turning his own company into one of its subsidiaries.
The Aixue Group building now had its own helipads and tens of thousands of parking spaces. Hundreds of cars were packed densely in the lots. Here, even a BMW was considered a low-end vehicle. Luxury cars starting at a million were the norm, proof that many of their owners had a net worth of at least tens of millions. These people were all considered impressive figures in Jiangzhong City, and today, they had all gathered at the Aixue Group.
Among the crowd were Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu, their faces beaming with delight.
"This way, everyone. Our president has prepared a banquet," a tall, beautiful woman in a tight-fitting blue evening gown announced with a warm smile.
At her words, everyone followed her into the Aixue Group building and into a massive hall. Inside, every table was laden with exquisite delicacies and a wide variety of fruits.
In the spacious hall, Xiao Lingyue’s confidante, Qing’er, sat at the head table.
Qing’er’s real na was Liu Qing.
"President Liu! To be so young and so accomplished... you are truly a role model for our generation!"
