Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhao Chengyi instinctively leaped back, his face darkening as he glared at Chen Tang, “Chen Tang, you shameless bastard, don’t go too far!”
Today’s attendance at the birthday banquet was also arranged by grandma and Lin Feng among others.
Under normal circumstances, everything was supposed to fall into place, and he was to take Lin Chuxue away, turning uncooked rice into a cooked meal.
But in the end, it turned into such a mess!
Chen Tang snorted coldly, “Too far?
Zhao Chengyi, who the hell is too far?
Chu Xue is now my wife, and you actually want to take my wife away.
Do you think I should not resist?
Let you put a green hat on me…
Hmph, eat your socks.
Wasn’t it you who just said that?
I still have the video recording on my phone, do you want me to play it for you again?”
Chen Tang smirked devilishly, closing in step by step!
Zhao Chengyi retreated step by step, “Despicable!” His instincts urged him to command his bodyguards to take action against Chen Tang, only to find that his bodyguards were lying on the ground.
Although they had woken up, they were all howling in pain.
Seeing Chen Tang’s sharp gaze, Zhao Chengyi finally couldn’t bear the pressure and headed toward the outside of the hall, “Chen Tang, you’re ruthless!
Just you wait…
If Lin Group wants investment from Zhao Family, send your wife to the hotel within an hour, humph!”
Lin Feng, Lin Zhong, Zhang Lan, and others saw Zhao Chengyi preparing to leave and hurriedly persuaded him, “Young Master Zhao, don’t go, let’s have a meal before you go!
We can discuss any issues.”
Zhao Chengyi snorted coldly and gave Chen Tang a fierce glare.
He thought to himself, eat what damned meal?
Staying here means eating Chen Tang’s socks, damn it, it’s too humiliating!
Zhao Chengyi grew up without ever suffering such humiliation!
This Chen Tang, watch how “la zi” will deal with you!
Zhao Chengyi quickly headed towards the door, Lin Feng and his father, along with grandma, exchanged glances and nodded subtly to each other before quickly catching up, “Young Master Zhao, let me see you out!”
Zhao Chengyi and Lin Feng left the hall one after another, and the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became somewhat eerie.
The grandma said with a solemn face, “Chen Tang, are you out of your mind?
By driving Young Master Zhao away, how will Lin Group handle the thirty million capital shortfall?”
“Exactly, although we agreed that since Chu Xue is now in charge of the company, we do not permit her to bankrupt the company!” Second Uncle Lin Zhong chimed in from the side.
Zhang Yu hesitated slightly, a devilish look flashing in his eyes, “How about this?
While the company is not yet bankrupt, why don’t we sell it?
I’ve inquired around, the company is valued at fifty million, and there’s someone willing to take over.
If we sell the company, we can all share the money!”
“Yes, yes!
That’s a great idea!” Second Uncle and Aunt Zhang Lan, along with other relatives, nodded in agreement.
Even grandma didn’t oppose the idea.
Just now, they were discussing this very idea around the table.
Since Lin Feng was being blackmailed by Chen Tang and couldn’t manage the company, they decided to directly sell the company, not allowing it to fall into Lin Chuxue’s hands.
Lin Chuxue sat next to Chen Tang, looking at this cold-hearted group of relatives, so angry she was about to go mad, “No, this is grandpa’s legacy, the company absolutely cannot be sold like this!”
Grandma looked coldly at Lin Chuxue, “Chu Xue, if you say the company won’t be sold, what about the shares of your uncles and aunties?
Do you really want to wait for the company to go bankrupt and for them to not get a single cent?”
“Exactly!
Even if the company is only sold for fifty million, our combined shares come to at least thirty percent, that’s at least fifteen million or more!” Second Uncle pretended to make calculations, “Chu Xue, we’re not forcing you, after all, considering the current state of the company, we have to think ahead!
Either sell the company or find a way to buy out our shares with your own money!”
“Second Uncle is right, that’s what we mean!”
Everyone chimed in, imposing a dilemma on Lin Chuxue.
With the company facing a financial crisis, Lin Chuxue barely had a choice.
In their view, with a thirty-million funding gap, how could Lin Chuxue possibly come up with nearly twenty million to buy out their shares?
“You… you…” Lin Chuxue stood up furiously, pointing her finger at the group of relatives, “You are all ungrateful wolves, you’ve gone too far…
The company actually…”
Lin Chuxue almost let slip the news that the company’s funds were in place, but Chen Tang quickly put away his phone, wrapped his arm around Lin Chuxue’s slender waist, and glanced at everyone, “Selling the company is out of the question.
Have you calculated how much money you would get for selling your shares?
Name your price, and we’ll buy all your shares in one go.
After that, the company will have nothing to do with you!”
What?
Chen Tang’s words caught everyone off guard.
The company still had a financial shortfall of thirty million.
Where would the company get the money to buy their shares?
Lin Chuxue was also somewhat panicked, “Chen Tang, you…
Where are we going to get the money to buy their shares?
We can’t touch that thirty million!”
Even according to Second Uncle Lin Zhong’s suggestion, if the company was sold off cheaply for fifty million, at least twenty million would have to be distributed to these relatives in the family.
Chen Tang gave Lin Chuxue a mysterious smile, “Wife, have you forgotten?
Hongfa Logistics Company still owes us twenty million.
It’s been four or five years; it’s time to collect that debt!”
“Hongfa Logistics?
Chen Tang, don’t joke around.
These past few years, I’ve personally gone to demand the payment at least a hundred times, but they simply refuse to pay up.
There’s nothing I can do!” Lin Chuxue’s face was filled with worry.
The large financial gap the company was facing was in part due to the inability to collect debts from outside.
Chen Tang pinched the back of Lin Chuxue’s hand, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.
Within an hour, I’ll help you collect the owed money!”
The relatives whispered among themselves, and finally, Second Uncle Lin Zhong spoke up, “Twenty million.
We won’t negotiate.
All of our shares together in one package for twenty million.
If you can get the money transferred within today, then the company won’t be sold.
Otherwise, we must proceed with our plan to sell the company and divide the money!”
The grandmother sat at the head of the table, her silence serving as tacit approval.
“Good, very good!” Chen Tang let go of Lin Chuxue and smiled wickedly, “Dear elders, there’s no need to wait for the afternoon.
How about we sign the contract now?
Oh, and the gifts that were just handed out to you, each one of them is worth at least a few hundred thousand.
They can count as part of the payment, right?”
“Ah…
Chen Tang, that’s shameless of you.
Those were gifts you gave us, and now you want them back?
How could you do this?” Aunt Zhang Lan clutched her bracelet, reluctant to let it go.
Chen Tang said indifferently, “Aunt, today is grandma’s birthday, not yours.
Besides, those gifts were distributed by my bodyguards, I never said they were for you!
Chu Xue, take note, Aunt’s bracelet is worth five hundred thousand.
Write it down for later deductions!”
Hearing that Chen Tang and Lin Chuxue seemed serious about using these gifts as collateral, Zhang Lan immediately objected, “Dream on, my shares make up three percent, that’s at least three million.
You can’t offset that with this crappy bracelet.
Take it back!”
“Right, I’m returning it too!”
…
With a rush, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, the eldest uncle, and others began taking off the jade pieces they were wearing and placing them on the table in front of Chen Tang.
Chen Tang let out a sneer.
A bunch of opportunists, trying to compete with me?
Chen Tang truly wasn’t short of that bit of money right now, but he wasn’t willing to let that pack of ingrates walk away with so many valuable gifts so easily.
Seeing that the gifts were nearly all collected, Chen Tang addressed the bodyguards who hadn’t yet left the doorway, “That’s enough, take them back and thank Family Head Liu for me.”
The lead, Captain Zhang, looked somewhat stunned, “This…
Okay…”
Young Master Chen really knew how to play.
So many treasures, worth a fortune, never actually given away, just brought here for show?
City folks indeed know how to play!
