"Dad, don't hit him. Maybe I did something to upset him... I... I'll change."
Su Muyue looked aggrieved as she tried to talk Father Tang out of it.
"Sigh, why do you keep indulging him? The boy's got an itchy hide and needs a good beating."
Father Tang liked Su Muyue more and more. With a sigh, he put his belt away.
His son had refused to listen to him before, insisting on being a simp.
And he'd been one for three whole years.
Now that he'd finally won the beauty's heart, the boy was acting up again. What else could that be but asking for a beating?
Amid Father Tang, Mother Tang, and Su Muyue's laughter and chatter, breakfast finally came to an end.
Tang Yu was like an outsider at his own breakfast table. With the threat of a belt beating hanging over him, he didn't dare utter another word.
Tengwang Group.
General Manager's office.
Wang Yixue was reviewing an investigation report about the French company Fals.
Ever since she'd heard Tang Yu's inner thoughts last time, the information at her fingertips had grown and grown.
After several days of investigation, the truth was now laid out before her.
Fals really did have serious problems!
And Li Deshen, the vice president who had been trying to push the deal through, had recently received a sudden deposit of twenty million yuan in his wife's bank account.
She'd had someone trace where the money came from and discovered it had been transferred by a female star named He Na.
The sugar daddy supporting the star was none other than her cousin, Wang Rulong.
If she wasn't mistaken, the twenty million was most likely an advance payment for Li Deshen!
"Well, well. Wang Rulong, you really dared to collude with outsiders."
A cold glint flashed in Wang Yixue's eyes!
She'd risen to power at such a young age and secured her position through her intelligence and skill!
She would never go easy on a turncoat like this, even if he was her own cousin!
But compared to Wang Rulong, she was more concerned about someone else.
Ye Chen!
He was already on her kill list, but she still hadn't figured out where he'd come from.
His identity was too mysterious, shrouded in layers of fog.
So far, the only lead she'd uncovered was an investment company called Huajin!
Half a month ago, the company had poured a huge sum into Fals, becoming its largest shareholder!
But the company wasn't under Ye Chen's name.
This man was hiding his tracks very well!
"Never mind. I shouldn't alert them just yet."
Wang Yixue was a patient woman. To catch the biggest fish, she had to let out a long line.
After a moment's thought, she made a phone call.
About ten minutes later, a dignified, imposing middle-aged man walked in.
He was the company's vice president, Li Deshen.
"President Wang, you wanted to see me?"
Li Deshen came in with a smile, sneaking glances at Wang Yixue.
Ever since the young lady had taken charge of the company, they senior executives had feasted their eyes day after day.
"President Li, how many years have you worked at our company?"
Wang Yixue asked.
"Exactly thirty years. I've devoted my whole life to the company." Li Deshen laughed heartily.
"Is that so?"
Wang Yixue suddenly slammed her hand on the desk and barked coldly,
"Did you devote yourself to the company, or to the one hundred million yuan Wang Rulong offered you?"
A flash of panic crossed Li Deshen's eyes.
One hundred million. That figure made him very nervous.
But he kept his expression calm, feigning confusion.
"President Wang, what do you mean?"
"I don't like beating around the bush. You know how the Wang Family deals with traitors. Even if you don't care about yourself, think about your family."
Wang Yixue threatened him, her face icy.
This concerned the entire Wang Family. She wouldn't show the slightest mercy!
Li Deshen's legs gave way. He hurriedly dropped to his knees and begged,
"President Wang, my family has nothing to do with this. Young Master Rulong forced me to do it..."
Before long, Li Deshen had confessed everything.
After listening, Wang Yixue leaned back in her office chair, expressionless, but inwardly shaken.
Tang Yu's inner thoughts had predicted all of this perfectly.
"Ye Chen, so you dare set your sights on me?"
She gave a cold laugh in her heart. A plan for revenge had already taken shape.
She said,
"Li Deshen, I can give you one chance. Go tell Wang Rulong that I agree to the deal. The finance department will transfer the money within twenty-four hours."
"Huh?"
Li Deshen could hardly believe his ears.
President Wang knew it was a trap, yet she still planned to walk right into it?
"Just do as I say. Tell him to urge Fals to transfer the money into the joint account as soon as possible."
Wang Yixue didn't want to explain herself to Li Deshen.
"Yes, thank you for giving me another chance, President Wang. I'll do my best."
Li Deshen nodded repeatedly, letting out a long breath of relief as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He left the office and was just about to take the elevator down to find Wang Rulong.
The elevator doors opened right then, and Wang Rulong stepped out holding a document.
"President Li, how did it go?"
As soon as he saw Li Deshen, Wang Rulong rushed over, draped an arm around his shoulders, and asked eagerly.
"President Wang agreed. She's signing the contract now and told me to notify the finance department to make the transfer."
Li Deshen hurriedly replied.
Wang Rulong's face lit up with delight. He'd finally gotten his cousin to agree.
Once the plan succeeded, the general manager position would soon be his.
As for his cousin, she could just get married and leave.
Why should a woman fight him for power?
"Oh, and President Wang asked me to remind you to contact Fals and have them transfer their funds as soon as possible so the project can move forward."
Li Deshen reminded him.
"Sure. Thanks for your hard work, President Li. I'll have the remaining eighty million sent to you later."
Wang Rulong gave Li Deshen a hearty pat on the shoulder, then returned to his office to call Ye Chen.
At that moment, Ye Chen was patrolling around the residential complex.
After receiving Wang Rulong's call, Ye Chen's mood instantly lifted.
"Fine, I know. Just wait to take over Tengwang Group."
After making the promise, he hung up, a cold look in his eyes.
"Idiot."
With a sneer, he called the Dragon Soul Organization.
For this deal between Fals and Tengwang Group, Tengwang Group had to provide fifty billion yuan in funding.
Fals, meanwhile, needed to contribute thirty billion yuan and technical personnel!
Fals was already an empty shell.
So he'd have to get the money from the Dragon Soul Organization.
He was letting them think they were landing a big fish. This money was only going out temporarily, just to keep up appearances!
Once he'd conquered Wang Yixue, the Wang Family's trillions in wealth would all be his!
The call connected, and a man's deep voice came through.
"Dragon King, what are your orders?"
"Transfer thirty billion to Fals."
"Understood. Should it come from your personal account, or...?"
"Of course it should come from the organization's account. We'll transfer it back later. It's only thirty billion."
Ye Chen replied, displeased.
He kept his own money in the foundation, enjoying enormous returns every day!
If he could use public funds, he'd never use his own.
"Very well." The man on the other end sounded a little helpless.
