Chapter 396: Changing the Dressing
Whether in the East or the West, any family-run business will always have problems with the issue of succession.
At present, Chris Barber is in his prime, and Burberry has not yet designated the next successor, which has led to some people who are qualified to inherit Burberry starting to show themselves.
Although Adam's father is now the president of Burberry, he has no right to put his son in this position. On the contrary, because of this reason, Adam has a harder time inheriting Burberry than others.
Seeing Adam's suspicious look, Tang Shuo continued, "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Adam. I only asked this question to enhance our friendship."
"What friendship?" Adam asked.
"Maybe I can help you with this matter." Tang Shuo said.
"you?"
Adam looked at Tang Shuo with disdain, obviously not believing what Tang Shuo said.
If he said he wasn't tempted by this position, he would be lying. In fact, Adam had been actively pursuing this position, but with little success.
Compared to the powerful family spokespersons, those who failed to be elected would only receive a tiny annual dividend from the family, with the remainder being rewarded or punished based on their contributions to the family.
But after all, there is only one spokesperson position, and this gap has intensified competition within the family.
Because there are clear rules in the family, even his father Clea Barber may not be able to help in this matter, let alone an outsider.
Tang Shuo seemed oblivious to Adam's attitude. After taking a sip of water, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Barber and you aren't as close as the outside world seems, and he doesn't get along well with your mother either."
Adam's face turned pale, and he immediately asked, "How do you know this?"
If Tang Shuo had only mentioned the first point, he might have thought that Tang Shuo was just guessing blindly, but outsiders had no idea what was going on between his father and mother, and his parents always acted very close whenever they appeared together in public. Even he had only discovered this by accident.
Adam was certain that Tang Shuo knew much more about his family than the average person.
"Mr. Adam, there's no need to rush to respond. I'll slowly let you feel my sincerity." Tang Shuo smiled and said, "I know you might doubt my words, but that's not important. You just need to understand that I can help you."
Adam took a deep breath, looked at Tang Shuo silently for a while and said, "Mr. Tang can really help me with this?"
"Of course." Tang Shuo replied with a smile.
“…”
Seeing Adam leave with a heavy heart, Tang Shuo stood up, symbolically said goodbye to him, and then sat on the chair.
In reality, his knowledge of the Burberry family's inner workings was very limited; he had only seen one videotape more than most people. As for what he had just said to Adam, it was purely his conjecture.
Adam's performance was very childish. He showed everything on his face easily without any scheming at all.
Although he said this to Adam, Tang Shuo had no intention of helping him for the time being. Only after Tang Yun's affairs were completely on track would he have the mind to think about this matter.
…
After returning to his residence, Tang Shuo opened the door and saw Yu Haoran holding two large dumbbells and exercising in the living room.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, you need to rest." Tang Shuo glared at Mason in front of Yu Haoran while speaking.
Mason immediately shook his head and pointed at Yu Haoran, indicating that it was not his arrangement.
"I've been lying down for a week and I really can't sit still anymore." Yu Haoran said with a smile.
"It's up to you to decide the situation." Tang Shuo said helplessly.
Yu Haoran nodded. Then he said to Mason, "Go out and buy some dinner."
It was just after four in the afternoon, still early for dinner, and Mason instantly realized that the two had something to say, so he nodded and walked out of the room.
Tang Shuo also saw what Yu Haoran meant and sat down on the sofa and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Now that things have been resolved here, I should go back." Yu Haoran casually put down the dumbbells, walked over to sit next to Tang Shuo, and said, "Now that Xing Zhuowen is dead, and I've been out for so long, I'm worried about what might happen to the team."
Although Yu Haoran didn't say it, Tang Shuo still understood what the other party was worried about.
Xing Zhuowen's death left a captain position vacant. If this captain position was replaced by someone else, then there would be no point in killing Xing Zhuowen.
"Don't worry about that. I'll leave with you at the beginning of next month." Tang Shuo said, "I've already discussed that matter with my boss. He'll delay it for a while and deal with it after we return."
Tang Shuo did not tell Yu Haoran about Tan Zhuojun's affairs, mainly because he did not want to make the other party worry.
In fact, the most suitable candidate in his mind was Yu Haoran, but with Tan Zhuojun being so enthusiastic about this matter and Wang Jianye's hint, he knew in his heart that this position would not fall on Yu Haoran.
Although Yu Haoran has the support of the Yu family, his position within the Yu family is somewhat awkward. He may not be able to borrow the family's influence.
The alternative plan was to push Wang Bihan to the top, with Yu Haoran continuing to serve as his vice-captain. If Wang Bihan were to take over, he would have more leverage in the final high-level negotiations.
Yu Haoran didn't force it this time and nodded in agreement.
Ding Dong...
Just then, the doorbell rang. Tang Shuo frowned, stood up, walked over, and opened the door.
Mason is a very smart person and he believes that the other party has understood the hint just now, so it can't be him at all.
But how could anyone find this place at this time?
He suddenly remembered the person who left his address during the day, and began to feel excited.
After opening the door, Tang Shuo stood there in a daze.
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Tang Shuo was still a little dazed when he saw Li Yihe appear with his own eyes.
Li Yihe, holding a medicine box in his hand, glanced inside the door and said, "You won't let me in?"
"Of course not. Please come in."
Tang Shuo immediately opened the door and invited Li Yihe in. He pointed at Yu Haoran and introduced him, "Yu Haoran, you should know him."
Li Yihe nodded to Yu Haoran who was sitting on the sofa, and then looked around the room.
"You guys chat, I'm going back to my room first." Yu Haoran glanced at Tang Shuo, then stood up and walked straight to his room.
Tang Shuo poured a glass of water for Li Yihe, handed it to him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Yihe pointed to the medicine box he brought with him, and as if trying to convince himself, he explained, "Your bandage is a little dirty because of the coffee. I was just going to change it for you."
"It's okay." Tang Shuo immediately shook his head and said, "I can handle these things myself."
Li Yihe cursed inwardly, then said, "Let me do it. After all, it was me who made it dirty."
"Okay." Tang Shuo agreed.
Li Yihe put down the water cup, opened the medicine box he brought with him and said, "Take off your shirt."
Tang Shuo nodded and took off his shirt as he was told.
Although he had seen it once during the day, Li Yihe still felt a little frightened after seeing Tang Shuo's upper body again.
She carefully walked to Tang Shuo's front and slowly peeled off the bandages on his body. When she saw some of the scars, Li Yihe thought she could accept it. But after seeing the two horrific gunshot wounds, Li Yihe couldn't imagine the pain Tang Shuo had endured.
She quickly helped Tang Shuo remove the bandage, asked for the location of the medicine, and then reapplied it to Tang Shuo. Then she wrapped Tang Shuo's upper body tightly like a rice dumpling.
Tang Shuo originally wanted to speak up to remind Li Yihe, but seeing that the other party was very focused, he held back.
When everything was done, Li Yihe breathed a sigh of relief and then began to pack up her things. "Call me next time when you need to change the dressing. It's inconvenient for a grown man like you to be clumsy."
