The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Tang Qiulu Insulted

Tang Qiulu’s hands were trembling with rage, clenching her teeth, she said, “Yang Lei, do you think I’m that easy of a person?!”

Yang Lei wiped off the spilled tea, stood up with a malicious look, grabbed Tang Qiulu’s hair, and cursed, “Damn it, what kind of person are you? Just a slut, daring to splash me? Don’t think I’ll refrain from hitting you just because you’re pretty. I’m just curious if you’ve been with someone, so stop pretending.”

Tang Qiulu’s scalp hurt terribly from being pulled, and she struggled, saying, “Yang Lei, let go, let go of me now!”

Yang Lei sneered viciously, “How about this, tonight I’ll book a room, you accompany me for the night, don’t worry, given your status, I’ll definitely book the top hotel in Hai City.”

“Don’t even think about it, let go now!”

Yang Lei flung his hand, and Tang Qiulu fell directly to the ground.

“Women like you pretend to be noble but in the end, you’ll still cry and beg for me to continue the cooperation, won’t you?” Yang Lei said.

Tang Qiulu rubbed her sore scalp, coldly said, “I refuse to believe that there’s no one else in Hai City besides you, Yang Lei, who can collaborate with the Tang Family.”

Hearing Tang Qiulu’s words, Yang Lei became even more smug. He had a reason to be so arrogant now; some manufacturers in Hai City had already negotiated with him, and he was indeed the most favored among them, leaving others unable to compete.

Even if Tang Qiulu found a small supplier, how could that support the entire West District project?

“Tang Qiulu, when you figure things out, come to me. It’s not hard for you at all, just open your legs, such an easy thing, and it’s only available with me in the entire world,” Yang Lei said.

His words were a great insult to Tang Qiulu, who coldly replied, “Yang Lei, don’t regret it. If the Tang Family can save you, they can also crush you.”

“Then I’ll be waiting, don’t disappoint me. I’m really curious about what it’s like to be trampled by the Tang Family. Oh, I’m so scared,” Yang Lei’s eyes were full of disdain.

Tang Qiulu was particularly unwilling to admit defeat. After Yang Lei and his men left, she quickly adjusted her mood, drove to a few manufacturers, but the final result left Tang Qiulu only able to concede.

No manufacturer was willing to cooperate with the Tang Family. Yang Lei seemed to have control over the manufacturers in Hai City. Although the Tang Family could find opportunities in other cities, doing so would greatly extend the timeline.

Moreover, the West District project stood to lose money every day it was halted. Weishui didn’t want to see it stuck at this point.

As the person in charge of the West District project, the immense pressure on Tang Qiulu was almost suffocating her.

Just as she returned to the office without even having a moment to sit down and rest, Tang Xiangdong appeared again.

“Tang Qiulu, didn’t you negotiate with them?” Tang Xiangdong asked.

“They were very firm, I did my best,” Tang Qiulu said weakly.

Tang Xiangdong sneered, “Yang Lei just called me and said you splashed him. Tang Qiulu, are you trying to ruin the company?”

“That’s right, but do you know why?” Tang Qiulu was still infuriated; Yang Lei saw her as a base woman, and she couldn’t accept that.

“Don’t you understand the unspoken rules in the business world? If you’re unable to make these sacrifices, how will you accomplish great things in the future?” Tang Xiangdong said.

Tang Qiulu looked up, coldly staring at Tang Xiangdong, “What do you mean by that?”

“As long as it helps the company, what’s so significant about your sacrifice? Just close your eyes, it’ll be over soon, and you won’t lose anything,” Tang Xiangdong chuckled.

Tang Qiulu slammed the desk and shouted angrily, “Tang Xiangdong, do you think I’m the kind of person who would sell myself out? I will never do that.”

“With such pride, you could ruin the company. How will you explain to Cheng Shi, how will you repay the 1 billion loan? Will you just watch the company go bankrupt?” Tang Xiangdong said coldly.

In Tang Xiangdong’s eyes, the dark side of the business world was perfectly normal. Yang Lei wanting Tang Qiulu was considered good fortune—just having her sleep with him.

As long as it helped the company, even if Tang Qiulu became Yang Lei’s mistress, Tang Xiangdong saw no issue with it.

“I’ll think of another way, but don’t even think about making me sleep with Yang Lei,” Tang Qiulu said firmly.

Now seemed like the perfect time to kick Tang Qiulu out of the company, with plenty of reasons, but there was uncertainty about Cheng Shi, and Tang Xiangdong didn’t dare to act rashly.

But without Yang Lei’s entertainment, those manufacturers would not agree to cooperate with the Tang Family, similar to the last economic crisis the Tang Family faced.

“You don’t need to think of other ways. Yang Lei is very determined, and only if you agree to accompany him can this matter proceed. Tonight at the Golden City Hotel, I will personally take you there, and you are not allowed to refuse,” Tang Xiangdong said coldly.

Had Tang Xiangdong unilaterally sold her out?

Tang Qiulu’s hands shook with anger. For his own interests, Tang Xiangdong dared to make such a decision without her consent!

“Tang Xiangdong, what gives you the right to decide this for me?” Tang Qiulu’s eyes were cold.

“Because I am the chairman of the Tang Family, and you are a Tang, you must listen to me,” Tang Xiangdong said.

Tang Xiangdong couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. If he could make Tang Qiulu leave the company on her own, it would be easy to explain to Cheng Shi because it would be Tang Qiulu’s voluntary decision, unrelated to him.

Tang Qiulu clenched her teeth, Tang Xiangdong’s actions went too far this time. For her, it was unacceptable, and she wouldn’t sacrifice herself for the company.

“Tang Xiangdong, you’ve always wanted to kick me out of the company, haven’t you? Fine, then I resign. Now you’re satisfied,” Tang Qiulu said, starting to pack up her personal belongings.

Tang Xiangdong could barely contain his smile. The issue he’d been worried about for so long was resolved just like that. Her voluntary resignation would make explanations to Cheng Shi simple.

“Tang Qiulu, you resigned voluntarily, not under compulsion,” Tang Xiangdong said.

Without saying anything, Tang Qiulu packed her things and walked out of the office.

Tang Xiangdong sat in the chair that used to belong to Tang Qiulu and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Not long after, Tang Siwen arrived in the office.

“Donglin, what happened? I saw Tang Qiulu leaving with her things,” Tang Siwen asked, puzzled.
