658: Chapter 658: Sharp Counterattack!
Brotherhood Runs Deep!
Such startling words are not spoken unless one is prepared to die!
Tang Xiao might not have understood the implication before, but now…
“Dad!!”
In an instant, Tang Xiao’s pretty face turned crimson, full of embarrassnt and sha, and she imdiately got out of the car.
Tang Long hurriedly got out of the car and caught up with Tang Xiao.
“Sorry, sorry, dad speaks his mind and speaks too frankly sotis!”
Tang Xiao stopped, turned her head, and feigned anger:
“Jie and I don’t want to have children for the ti being.
Can you at least give us so more ti?”
“Besides, getting pregnant and having babies doesn’t only result in stretch marks, but it can also cause one’s figure to beco distorted.”
“When that ti cos, my face will be yellow and my body bloated and fat.
Certain vixens will definitely take the chance to take my place!”
Once Tang Long heard this, he imdiately got angry.
“What vixen?”
“There!
That one!”
Tang Xiao pointed straight at the red Audi across the street, Chu Yunxuan’s car.
“Whose car is that?” Tang Long asked curiously.
Tang Xiao reminded him, “It’s Chu Yunxuan’s!
You’re pretty familiar with her, aren’t you?
She helped a lot with your house renovation ideas, didn’t she?”
Tang Long nodded repeatedly, rembering.
“I know this girl; indeed her figure, appearance, and deanor are all quite good.
It seems I’ve also heard that she was once the beauty queen of Tianyuan University of Technology!”
Tang Xiao nodded and smiled:
“Right!
She was once the dream goddess of all the male students.
When Jie was in college and single, of course, he was no exception!”
“Plus, the connection they had from buying and selling the house, Jie said she was capable, so he brought her into Star Cloud Internet Technology as a deputy director!”
“He even gave her the apartnt downstairs, rent-free, calling it company housing.
But up to now, she’s the only one living there!”
Tang Long flew into a rage.
“That wretch!
This…
isn’t this the classic scenario of hiding a mistress in a golden house?
That little bastard, he is truly bold!”
“He actually let this vixen live in the apartnt below ours.
What is he trying to do?
Make it convenient for an affair in the future?”
“Others who keep mistresses are secretive about it, but he’s not only made her a high executive in the company, but also brought her right under our own roof as a neighbor!”
“That rascal, I’ve really misjudged him!
He actually…
actually…”
…
Tang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh in surprise, her smile a bit mischievous as she looked at Tang Long:
“Go on!
Why aren’t you continuing?”
Tang Long smiled awkwardly.
“I feel…
this isn’t quite right.
If Jie was truly having an affair, he wouldn’t be so blatant about it!”
Tang Xiao laughed, “Exactly!
I have confidence in him.
But I can’t help worrying about looking old and worn-out, and losing my figure after pregnancy, not being able to compete with those young and beautiful vixens!”
Tang Long grumbled, “Then take preventive asures!
Fire Chu Yunxuan and make her move out!”
“Is that useful?
Without Chu Yunxuan, there will be countless beautiful won lining up.
Moreover, kicking her out without reason isn’t right!
I just used her as an example to show you how big of a marital crisis I could face after getting pregnant!”
Tang Xiao paused and then sighed:
“So dad, please don’t rush into getting pregnant.
Once we’ve had enough fun as a couple, naturally, we’ll have children!”
“By that ti, Chu Yunxuan would be married off, and Jie would be concentrating on taking care of , and there would be no marital crisis, right?”
Tang Long nodded with deep conviction:
“When you get pregnant, you can co back to the countryside to await childbirth, far from this bustling tropolis, and Jie will have no chance to cheat!”
Tang Xiao smiled faintly.
“We’ll talk about that when the ti cos.
Let’s go ho for now, I have an important matter to discuss with you seriously!”
“Besides pregnancy, everything else is trivial!” Tang Long held his head high, only wanting to hold his grandchild in his arms.
Tang Xiao was speechless, muttering to herself as she walked:
“If you truly feel lonely and empty, why not find a companion?”
“In my opinion, Mrs.
Hu who takes care of you in the villa is pretty good!”
Tang Long’s face turned cold and he curled his lip, “What do you an ‘takes care of ’?
She does housework and cooks, and I pay her for it!”
“But Mrs.
Hu is attentive and caring towards you!
And I checked long ago, she’s been divorced for years, raising her son by herself, with a clean record and good character.
You’ve been around each other for nearly two years, and you talk about everything…”
Before Tang Xiao could finish her sentence, Tang Long, wearing a stern face, walked away briskly.
“Hey!
Why are you getting shy now?
I’m talking about sothing serious here!”
“If you don’t want Mrs.
Hu, then look for soone else!”
“The new economist hired by the corporate investnt departnt, Professor Yu, I think he’s also quite suitable!
Well-educated and elegant in conversation!”
…
Tang Xiao began her sharp counterattack.
Her father was pushing her to get pregnant soon, and she countered by urging her father to find a companion!
And in this battle of words, Tang Long eventually admitted defeat.
After all, a father’s love is deep!
Persuading her father to start considering a partner and promising not to press her about pregnancy for a year.
Tang Xiao pulled her father into the study, and only then did they start to address the matter at hand.
Today, Wu Jie went to Zanan City to collect debts, while the ‘software conversion tool’ he created was brought to the group by Tang Xiao for evaluation.
Gathered together were the elites from the investnt, planning, and technology departnts, among others, for a joint evaluation and deliberation.
Everyone thought this tool was terrifying, as it could bring an unprecedented shake-up to multiple industries such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, and application software.
What seed like a small tool actually possessed the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
How to use it to maximize one’s own benefits.
Tang Xiao asked each departnt to quickly co up with a feasible plan.
But confidentiality…
was not stressed deliberately.
Free and rapid conversion of application software from different operating systems into another version.
This innovative idea had indeed been around for a while.
It was just too difficult to realize, so no one had managed to create it until now.
Currently, only Wu Jie mastered this software tool, and the version Tang Xiao brought for a demonstration was encrypted.
Even if soone copied or stole it, forcing a decryption would only cause the tool to destroy itself.
So even if the news leaked, it wouldn’t be a big deal; on the contrary, it could serve as promotion.
As the chairman, Tang Long was of course well-inford.
Seeing Tang Xiao operating the system, and even trying it out themselves on a smartphone, they were both amazed and exclaid at its magic.
The business acun of the father and daughter pair was extraordinary; they both knew what this would an.
Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, Microsoft’s computer operating systems…
Their dominant positions were bound to face a significant challenge.
Once this tool was launched, it would be greatly beneficial for companies like Nokia that were at a competitive disadvantage.
But for Apple and Microsoft, who were at the helm, the feelings were mixed.
Apple certainly did not want to lose its market share in smartphones and tablets, yet it also wanted to win over Microsoft in the computer business.
Microsoft, once ambitious in breaking into the smartphone business, unfortunately had too few applications for its system and suffered a dismal failure.
They would naturally want to preserve their computer market and enhance their competitiveness in smartphones and tablets.
In short,
The matter was too complex, the impact too great.
While the group was brainstorming for solutions internally, the father and daughter were also racking their brains for a good strategy.
…
Elsewhere,
The business in the restaurant was booming.
In tonight’s second ga, the Belize Team beat the Panama Team by three goals.
With the earlier victory of Sweden over South Korea by one nil, today’s matches hadn’t seen any upsets.
No upsets ant that most fans were sure they’d won money.
Watching a satisfying ga and winning money made people happy.
They drank more beer, ate more skewers.
So, naturally, the restaurant’s business was even more outstanding.
Wu Jie had intended to chat with Zhang Hao, but once he reached the kitchen, he was simply too busy to stop.
It wasn’t until around one in the morning, just before the start of the third match, that he finally had a mont of respite.
He let the cooks take turns resting, and Wu Jie went outside with Zhang Hao for a smoke break.
Wu Jie hadn’t spoken two sentences before Zhang Hao decisively shook his head.
“Xin’er…
forget it!
I treat her like a sister, and her helping in the restaurant is just her way of doing a favor for a friend!”
Zhang Hao blew a ring of smoke and looked toward Building One in the residential complex.
His eyes narrowed slightly, with a self-mocking smile.
“Won like Chu Yunxuan, the fox spirits, those are my true love!”
“It’s just a pity that a loser like , without a house, car, or savings, she wouldn’t even spare a glance!”
“When I first arrived in Tianyuan, Jie was right to remind , a man must have either power or money!”
“Otherwise, no matter how beautiful or sexy a woman is, one can only stare dumbly and drool foolishly!”
“So, I’m not in the mood for that crap called love now, all I want to do is make money!”
“When I can buy mansions and drive luxury cars like you, brother, why would I worry about lacking beautiful won around ?”
…
Wu Jie smiled without saying a word, taking small drags from his cigarette.
Zhang Hao still had an ambition burning inside him.
As a brother of so many years, Wu Jie understood him all too well.
Wu Jie could afford to buy this small building and convert the forr sales office into a restaurant, allowing Zhang Hao to be the manager without spending a penny.
But Zhang Hao would definitely insist that Wu Jie be the major shareholder, and he would get up early and stay up late to earn money desperately.
He would be content letting Wu Jie take the majority, only then would he feel at peace taking that small share for himself.
To teach soone to fish is better than to give them a fish.
Wu Jie had given Zhang Hao an opportunity to get rich, and Zhang Hao had seized it comndably.
Now the business was thriving; after deducting costs, based on his share, his family of three could make thirty to forty thousand a day.
Back in his hotown of Pingle Town, running an ordinary noodle shop might not net thirty to forty thousand in three to five months.
From an unknown country bumpkin to a restaurant owner who might make tens of millions a year!
Zhang Hao was experiencing his own fate transform; at this crucial juncture, talking about love and marriage?
Pointless!
“The elders think too simply about this matter!”
Zhang Hao, looking famished, glanced at Wu Jie and sighed:
“What am I?
A poor kid who didn’t even finish high school, and what about Sister Xin’er?”
“Family background, education, social circles, and so on, they are all different!
I’m absolutely impossible for her!”
“Even with soone like Chu Yunxuan, even if I beco richer in the future, she might not take a second look at !”
“So my goal for myself, is to work hard to earn money to buy a house and a car, and to marry a gentle and pretty ordinary woman, that’s all!”
“After all, a toad is still a toad; it won’t turn into a prince!
But Jie, you’re different, you’re destined to soar high!”
Wu Jie rolled his eyes.
“Enough already!
Even now, people often ridicule as a pretty boy sponging off a woman!”
“But it doesn’t matter.
The more people envy and hate, the happier I am!”
He blew a ring of smoke and glanced back at the restaurant.
Even though many illegal football gambling websites and apps had been cleaned up, but…
The enthusiasm of these gamblers was simply unquenchable!
The legitimate sports lottery for football was nearly selling out.
Zhang Hao, with eyes sparkling, looked at the inside of the restaurant.
The lively atmosphere, fans chowing down on skewers and drinking beer while chatting…
In his eyes, they were all money gods!
“I really hope the World Cup never ends, earning tens of thousands a day, I’d literally wake up laughing in my dreams!”
“Don’t worry!
Even after it ends, our shop’s reputation will spread far, and we won’t worry about business dwindling!”
After comforting him, Wu Jie unintentionally caught sight of a tall, slender beauty walking slowly under the night sky.
She was in a long dress and had a graceful figure, but the dim light made her face unclear.
“Damn it!
So many grilled skewers, the smoke has made my eyes blurry!
Over at three o’clock, can you see who that is?”
“Where?”
Zhang Hao looked in that direction, craning his neck, his brows furrowed:
“Who cares who it is; she’s definitely here for you!”
“Do you want to take her up to the office while your sister-in-law isn’t around, to chat about life and dreams?”
