Chapter 37: The Dwarf Killer
Lunch ended in a very strange atmosphere.
After dinner, everyone moved to a reception room in the Jiang family villa and sat down.
This is a common practice in the Jiang family. One day every month is devoted to internal discussions of the family business.
Sitting in the first seat was Jiang Tiantong, the current actual manager of the Jiang family, while Jiang Hongtao and Tang Shuo sat in the back row to listen.
"Grandpa, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to be here while we're discussing this?" A man in his thirties pointed at Tang Shuo.
Because Jiang Hongtao had just introduced him, Tang Shuo remembered that this man was the son of Jiang Hongtao's third son Jiang Yi, and also Jiang Tiantong's cousin.
Tang Shuo curled his lips in disdain.
If Jiang Hongtao hadn't insisted on him coming, he wouldn't have bothered to participate in any family discussions of the Jiang family.
The rest of the Jiang family also looked at Tang Shuo, waiting for Jiang Hongtao's answer.
"He's one of us," Jiang Hongtao replied. "You guys talk about your own stuff."
Jiang Hongtao had already spoken, and although the others had objections, they did not dare to express them directly.
After sitting down, Jiang Xiangyun was the first to speak: "Cousin, why should we give up part of Changan's market share to the Li family?"
"That's right," a man chimed in. "This will give the Li family an opportunity to infiltrate the northwest, and their other industries will develop accordingly."
"Only healthy competition can lead to faster development." Jiang Tiantong said lightly.
Her mind was not on this discussion at all today.
Being petty is almost every woman's nature, and even the stunningly beautiful Jiang Tiantong is no exception.
Until now, she is still wondering why Tang Shuo rejected his grandfather's proposal. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage in this matter.
"What kind of excuse is that?" A woman in her thirties stood up and accused him. "Let's not even talk about the ramifications of this. Just the 30% market share that was transferred is worth over a billion yuan, and the net profit is around 20 million yuan. How could you make such a big decision without even consulting us?"
"There's no point in discussing this with you. I've already decided to do this," Jiang Tiantong said calmly. "I can guarantee that Xinghai International Travel's net profit will increase by 30% this year."
“…”
After hearing Jiang Tiantong's assurance, the others stopped asking about the matter and began to talk about other things...
…………
"Have you really made up your mind?" Jiang Hongtao leaned back on the sandalwood chair in the study and said to Tang Shuo, "As long as you agree, I will do my best to match you and Tiantong. My granddaughter is the most beautiful woman in Yanjing. I believe she is worthy of you."
"Master Jiang, please forgive me." Tang Shuo replied with a wry smile, "I'm not worthy of Tiantong."
Seeing that Tang Shuo was determined, Jiang Hongtao sighed and asked, "What did you see just now?"
"It's hard to say." Tang Shuo replied: "I've only been with them for a short time and don't understand their personalities yet."
"Just tell me."
Tang Shuo quickly recalled what he had seen and heard from the meal to the final discussion, and said, "There is great discord within the Jiang family."
Jiang Hongtao nodded and motioned Tang Shuo to continue.
"The most obvious point is that no one has stood up to speak for Jiang Tiantong from beginning to end. Jiang Tiantong is completely isolated." Tang Shuo said: "If I'm not mistaken, some people even support other families."
"That's what I'm worried about," Jiang Hongtao said. "Tiantong is too aloof and arrogant. I'm still alive and can stand behind Tiantong. If I die, Tiantong will really be alone and helpless."
After a pause, Jiang Hongtao continued, "I've told you before that the Jiang family is dwindling in talent. Besides Tiantong, I'm really worried about letting anyone else take on this responsibility."
"What does Mr. Jiang mean?" Tang Shuo asked.
Jiang Hongtao said with great regret: "My original plan was to let you and Tiantong get married, and then I would feel at ease with you by Tiantong's side, but you disagreed."
Tang Shuo scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Even if we don't get married, I will still help Tiantong."
"I asked Tiantong to prepare the information you requested." Jiang Hongtao said, "Go get it from her."
Tang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the study with a wry smile.
It seems that Jiang Hongtao still hasn't given up!
It’s just that Jiang Tiantong and I are really not suitable for each other.
When Tang Shuo went downstairs, Jiang Tiantong was sitting on the sofa in the living room flipping through a document. Tang Shuo walked over and sat down, saying, "Mr. Jiang asked me to come to you to get some information."
Jiang Tiantong looked up at Tang Shuo and said to Jia Ting, who had been standing behind her, "Give him the information."
Jia Ting, wearing black clothes, black glasses and black stockings, took out a stack of information from her bag and handed it directly to Tang Shuo, while giving him a cold look.
Although Tang Shuo was puzzled by Jia Ting's reaction, he didn't say much.
"Because we have so little time, the information may not be very detailed." Jiang Tiantong said, "If you want more details, I'll send someone to you in a couple of days."
Tang Shuo casually flipped through the topmost page of Song family information. The first one on it was Song Xueyi's identity information. Tang Shuo took a look at it and almost popped his eyes out.
In addition to some of the most common information about Song Xueyi, the material records almost all of Song Xueyi's life experiences, which is more than enough to write an autobiography.
If this information is not detailed, then there will be no detailed information!
Tang Shuo didn't know that behind Jiang Tiantong there was actually a private think tank team formed by her... Tiannao.
In addition to helping Jiang Tiantong analyze, plan, and predict business issues, Tiannao will also help him collect business intelligence...
It can be said that in terms of intelligence information processing capabilities, Tiannao is definitely the most advanced existence in all of China except for official organizations.
"It's ready." Tang Shuo said, "But I need you to help me look up someone's information."
"who."
"Wang Kai." Tang Shuo replied.
"Okay." Jiang Tiantong nodded to Jia Ting behind him. Jia Ting immediately understood and arranged for someone to investigate.
"One more thing, can I ask you about someone?"
Jiang Tiantong looked at Tang Shuo and asked, "Who is it?"
"Fang Shirou." Tang Shuo replied.
"I'll arrange for someone to check it out," Jiang Tiantong said. "I'll let you know when there's a result."
"Thank you." Tang Shuo thanked him and stood up and walked towards the door with the documents.
Jiang Tiantong looked at Tang Shuo's back and said to Jia Ting beside him, "Why do you think he rejected me?"
"ah."
Jia Ting looked at Jiang Tiantong in surprise. She never expected that the boss who was perfect and wise in her mind would ask such a question.
…………
It was already dark when Tang Shuo returned to the community. After parking the car, he went upstairs with the documents.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, a child passing by him suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed him directly in the chest.
Tang Shuo was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
When he looked at the other person again, Tang Shuo suddenly discovered that the murderer was not a child at all, but a dwarf.
The other person was about 1.4 meters tall, but looked like he was about 30 years old.
The dwarf man was shocked when he saw Tang Shuo avoiding his attack, and then he swung his knife at Tang Shuo again.
At this time, Tang Shuo naturally had no idea of caring for the disabled. He quickly grabbed the wrist of the dwarf man holding the knife, and Tang Shuo directly hit him with a knee strike.
The dwarf man turned the palm holding the dagger, and stabbed Tang Shuo who was holding his wrist with the dagger in his other hand.
He's also a master at knife-playing!
Tang Shuo immediately stopped attacking, released his hand and took a step back.
"Who sent you?" Tang Shuo looked at the other party and asked, "Chen Yuqi? Or the Song family?"
The dwarf ignored Tang Shuo's question, narrowed his eyes and rushed towards Tang Shuo again.
Tang Shuo shook his head helplessly, threw a fake punch at the dwarf who was rushing towards him, and then kicked him directly in the leg.
The dwarf man raised the corner of his mouth. He had clearly seen Tang Shuo's intention, so he did not choose to dodge Tang Shuo's fist. Instead, he swung the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly at Tang Shuo's kicking leg.
He felt that he had definitely taken advantage of Tang Shuo. At most, he would be hit by one punch from Tang Shuo, but the dagger in his hand would stab into the other's leg.
Just when the dwarf was feeling smug about his own wisdom, he suddenly discovered that Tang Shuo's fist, which was already very fast, suddenly accelerated without any warning in the middle of the fight.
When the dwarf realized that something was wrong and was about to dodge, Tang Shuo's fist had already hit him in the face.
Then, the dwarf man's body flew directly in the direction of Tang Shuo's punch.
Tang Shuo walked forward, squatted beside the dwarf man and said, "If you don't want to die, tell me who sent you."
