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

115: Chapter 115 Tang Xijun is in jailRen Yixuan was the leading actress in that old TV series, who had her face disfigured by an explosive device when she was at the peak of her fame. How could the Old Master not know about this?

When Ren Yixuan had her accident, it dragged Tang Yi down with her, and he was dismissed from his post in the Old Master’s anger. But if this entire affair was orchestrated by Tang Xijun, then the real target from beginning to end was only Tang Yi.

”Could it be that I was wrong? I only wanted them to engage in healthy competition. How did it end up like this?” Tang Liansheng muttered to himself, collapsing onto a chair.

Elder Gao also sighed, ”Alas. I will keep an eye on the situation. I will contact you as soon as I have news. You should hurry up and arrange a lawyer for Tang Xijun. Strive for a lighter sentence.”

Just then, Butler Fu walked in, ”I have already contacted the company’s management and the legal department. You should rest for a while, sir. If anything happens to you, that would truly be the sky falling.”

Tang Liansheng seemed not to have heard him. After a long pause, he said, ”Do you think that by making them compete back then, I ended up harming them? Tang Yi had just graduated with no foundation, yet I forcefully arranged for him to be in charge of a project. Wouldn’t his older brother and second sister feel that I was being unfair?”

Butler Fu persuaded him, ”That’s not the case at all. Tang Zhiyuan and Tang Xijun are older than Tang Yi and entered the company many years before him. Doesn’t that already give them an advantage? Where is the unfairness? Master, didn’t you always say that whoever benefits has motivation? Why are you getting stuck on this point yourself?”

”Whoever benefits has motivation...” Tang Liansheng repeatedly chewed over the words. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration hit him: ”Go call Tang Yi over to me. Immediately!”

Soon, a completely bewildered Tang Yi was summoned to the study. He had been planning Zhou Shen Shen’s new album at the company.

”You almost managed to fool me. Tell me, which big shot is backing you?” Tang Liansheng looked at Tang Yi with amusement, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Of course, Tang Yi would not admit to anything: ”Father, what are you talking about? What exactly happened?”

The Old Master stared at him for a long time, then seemed to deflate like a punctured ball. His tone softened, ”I know, the root of this matter is that your second sister made a huge mistake. But think from my perspective. All three of you are my children; the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh. What could I do?”

Tang Yi secretly sighed in his heart, ”Old Master, I am indeed the flesh on your palm. But what you don’t know is that my elder brother and second sister are the flesh on someone else’s back of the hand.”

Seeing Tang Yi remain silent, he sighed and continued, ”I called you here just to give you one instruction. No matter who the person behind you is, you must never betray the interests of Tang Sheng Culture. As for your second sister making a mistake, I will punish her myself. The news will definitely spread tomorrow. You must be the first to step forward and forgive your second sister. This is for the good of the company. Do you hear me?”

Tang Yi nodded, ”Father, don’t worry, I know what’s appropriate.” He never had the intention to harm anyone; this was merely about exposing the truth to get justice for himself.

Tang Liansheng patted Tang Yi’s shoulder, ”You have been wronged. Now that your elder brother and second sister are not in the company, you must bear more responsibility for anything that happens.”

After Tang Yi left, Tang Liansheng said to Butler Fu, ”Investigate who this kid has been associating with recently. Don’t let Tang Sheng Culture be stolen by someone else without us even realizing it.”

Meanwhile.

The mastermind, Zhang Wei, was completely unaware, heartlessly eating breakfast at a noodle shop downstairs. He had a meeting with leaders from the National Space Administration that afternoon, so he had to catch an early flight to Hainan.

While eating noodles, he didn’t forget to call Zuo Hemei to inquire about the progress of the case. Learning that Tang Xijun was still stubbornly refusing to say anything, Zhang Wei didn’t bother with the trivial matter anymore. After all, with witnesses and material evidence present, she couldn’t stir up any major trouble; it was just a matter of the severity of the sentence.

When he returned from Hainan, it would be time to deliver the final blow to those two. The thought of the one billion commission made Zhang Wei unable to suppress the smile tugging at his lips.

Dragging his suitcase, he got into a ride-hailing car and met up with Chen Jiayan and Liu Haorui at the airport. Zhang Wei couldn’t help but tease, ”Old Liu, you really have status. I, the Chairman, am traveling alone, but you brought an assistant.”

Wang Xiaohua also joined this trip as Liu Haorui’s filming assistant.

Liu Haorui’s eyes darted around, but he still argued, ”You know me. I forget things as soon as meetings are over. A collaboration of this level with the Space Administration must be foolproof. Xiao Hua is responsible for taking notes, and she can give me a reminder later.”

Chen Jiayan chuckled lightly, ”You even brought Xiao Hua along? Then what does she call you? Haorui or Hao Hao?”

Wang Xiaohua blushed slightly on the side and softly explained, ”I... I always call him Brother Liu.”

This girl really doesn’t have much of a filter. But she and Liu Haorui match quite well. Zhang Wei could tell there was something going on between them; it wouldn’t be surprising if they got together someday.

The group chatted and laughed for a while, and when it was time to board, they traveled without speaking. The plane landed at Meilan International Airport after more than three hours.

As soon as they got off the plane, the group rushed to the restroom to change clothes. The weather in December in Hainan could reach twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees during the day, and wearing a down jacket would be unbearable.

After changing into short sleeves, they walked out of the airport.

”Xiao Zhang, over here!”

Zhang Wei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Section Chief Zheng waiting for him at the arrival gate.

”Uncle Zheng, why did you come to pick me up personally? I feel quite overwhelmed by this honor.”

Zhang Wei hurried forward. ”This is your first time here, so I definitely have to show you around. You won’t get this treatment again in the future,” Section Chief Zheng laughed heartily.

Zhang Wei then introduced the others to him. Only then did Section Chief Zheng pull Zhang Wei onto a minibus.

Zhang Wei’s eyes were opened wide. He looked closely after getting on the vehicle: ”Uncle Zheng, is this not the legendary Coaster?”

This model was quite impressive. He often saw leaders inspecting places while riding in this type of vehicle on the news. Its exterior was ordinary, but the interior seating was spacious and comfortable, and the soundproofing was said to be incredible.

”Don’t be so surprised. A brand new one of these is only about 600,000 yuan, and there are no purchase restrictions. You could buy one at any 4S dealership anytime.”

”Perhaps not. Driving this car out might easily lead to misunderstandings.”

Zhang Wei’s destination this time was City W, southeast of Haikou. The National Space Administration’s Application Cooperation Center was located near the W Launch Site Control Center. This entire area had already been designated as a restricted zone.

The Coaster passed through several checkpoints before finally stopping in front of a large building.

Several middle-aged men were already standing at the entrance. Section Chief Zheng walked up to the leading man with a smile, ”Let me introduce you, this is Director Guan, the head of the Cooperation Center.”

Zhang Wei quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Director Guan wore a short-sleeved shirt; his skin was dark, making him look like a farmer who had worked the fields year-round. However, he was full of vigor.

”Hello, Zhang Wei. Welcome to our Cooperation Center. Old Zheng told me you’ve been eyeing our cafeteria for a long time. Isn’t it almost lunchtime? Come, I’ll take you to have a taste!”

Zhang Wei and the others were dumbfounded. ”Is he that straightforward? Bringing us to eat right away?”
