"Xiaoyu, don't give up. We've finally reached the point of discussing marriage."
Li Xiaoyu had a cold face. She also wanted to set a wedding date with Tang Liang, but her uncle's targeting of her father was something Li Xiaoyu couldn't tolerate!
To be fair, Tang Liang's father hadn't treated him badly, so why should his uncle cause him trouble?
"I invited everyone here today to discuss our marriage, but I think my uncle doesn't really want to talk about it, so let's talk about it later."
Li Xiaoyu was annoyed and silently criticized Tang Dongliang for rambling on.
Why didn't Tang Liang's parents stop him?
That's just too pathetic!
Before Tang Liang could say anything, Tang Dongliang gave Li Xiaoyu a fake smile and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just curious about your father!"
“Your father is obviously not simple. Take the scrap metal business at the machinery factory, for example. So many people are interested in this business, but they can’t get in by giving gifts. So I’m curious, does your father have something on the factory leaders?”
To put it bluntly, Tang Dongliang still had nothing good to say. He said that Li Junsheng got the scrap metal business by holding the leader's hand, and that Li Junsheng's money and business were illicitly obtained!
Li Xiaoyu's face darkened, and she simply rebuked him: "Can you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak. My dad is not the kind of person you're describing."
Seeing Li Xiaoyu get angry, Tang's parents exchanged a glance, unsure of whose side to take.
Tang Dongliang's words terrified them.
Could it be that Xiaoyu's dad has so much money, it's not from illegitimate sources?
Putting aside everything else, speculation and profiteering are unacceptable!
Tang Liang is their only son, and nothing can happen to him.
If it weren't for this consideration, Tang's parents would definitely have sided with Li Xiaoyu and prevented Tang Dongliang from saying anything more!
But now, they are afraid that what Tang Dongliang said is true.
So... where did the Li family get this money?
Tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan is an amount that many people cannot earn in a lifetime, but Li Junsheng said he would use it to open a restaurant.
This reminded Tang's father of someone who had acted as a guarantor at the credit union; the kid who borrowed the money took it and ran off to another city to have a good time!
They don't pay back the money they borrowed, so the guy who acted as a guarantor ended up paying it back for them.
Would my own son really be set up like this?
In any case, offending Li Junsheng does not seem like a wise choice.
Tang's father was afraid that his eldest brother would cause trouble and ruin his son's marriage, and that he would also offend Li Junsheng and suffer the consequences.
So he quickly stopped his older brother.
"Brother, just say less!"
Seeing the hesitation on Tang's father's face, Li Junsheng felt a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Tang Liang's father was so easily misled by others; he clearly only half-believed Tang Dongliang's words!
Otherwise, instead of telling Tang Dongliang to say less, they would have told him to stop talking nonsense.
However, Li Junsheng quickly accepted this fact.
After all, they are brothers, so it's not surprising that Tang Liang's father listens to Tang Dongliang more!
Tang Dongliang had said what he needed to say. He looked at Li Junsheng provocatively and asked deliberately, "Xiaoyu's dad, I asked so many questions, why didn't you say anything? What's going on here? You should tell me."
Li Junsheng snorted and calmly explained in the face of Tang Dongliang's deliberate provocation, "I don't know how others can't get into this scrap metal business no matter how many gifts they give, but my business is perfectly legitimate!"
"The restaurant is also invested in by a legitimate owner. Let me explain what investment means to you. It means that someone gives me money to support me in opening the restaurant. After the restaurant is open, I just need to give them a certain share and dividends."
"So you're right when you say there's no such thing as a free lunch. The investments others make in me aren't for nothing!"
Li Junsheng explained it clearly in just a few words; it wasn't a complicated matter to begin with.
He didn't need to say anything more, but Tang Dongliang simply wouldn't listen to what others were saying.
He only believes in what he thinks is right.
Li Junsheng paused, then looked up at Tang Liang.
"Tang Liang, you witnessed firsthand how my restaurant started. Come and tell your uncle how my restaurant got started!"
That way, I won't have to tell him myself, and he won't believe me anyway.
Tang Dongliang's outburst today has really made Tang Liang lose face in front of Li Xiaoyu and Li Junsheng.
It's clearly my uncle who's ignorant and pretends to know what he doesn't, yet he still needs people to patiently explain things to him!
Tang Liang looked at his uncle and said through gritted teeth, "Uncle, my father-in-law is absolutely right. This restaurant has a big boss who invested in it. The big boss provides the money, my father-in-law provides the labor, and we all share the profits."
"If you can get the big boss to value you, you can also spend a lot of money to open such a big restaurant. What's so strange about that!"
"As for the scrap metal business, my father-in-law has worked in the factory for so many years and is highly regarded by the factory leaders. What's wrong with letting him take over the scrap metal business? It's more reliable than handing it over to someone we don't know well, right?"
To put it bluntly, the father-in-law has the advantage of being in a privileged position, so what's the problem?
There's no problem at all; the biggest problem is that my uncle keeps deliberately picking fights.
When Tang Liang mentioned that Li Junsheng was highly regarded by the leadership, Tang Dongliang's eyes lit up, as if he had some kind of leverage over Li Junsheng.
He became even more arrogant, practically looking down his nose at everyone!
"Is that so? Speaking of which, I do know the head of the equipment department at the machinery factory. Xiaoyu's dad, since you're highly regarded by the factory's leaders, Section Chief Zhou must have nothing but praise for you, right? I'll have to ask him about it another day."
What's the meaning?
Tang Dongliang still felt he had a problem? He even wanted to personally seek confirmation from Section Chief Zhou?
Li Junsheng laughed as he watched him spread rumors, and said without taking it to heart, "Fine, then you can ask Section Chief Zhou what he thinks of me."
Li Junsheng still had leverage over Section Chief Zhou, and Zheng Rong was also behind him.
What can a mere Section Chief Zhou do?
Tang Dongliang's question was pointless, but Li Junsheng wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of expression he would have after learning from Section Chief Zhou that his relationship with Factory Director Zheng was unusual.
It's going to be amazing!
Seeing Li Junsheng's calm and composed demeanor, Tang Dongliang began to doubt himself.
Li Junsheng's calm demeanor, seemingly unafraid of being confronted by the machinery factory, raises the question: is there truly no problem, or is he merely feigning indifference?
Forget it, whether it's true or not, as long as Tang Liang's marriage to his daughter doesn't go through!
If Li Junsheng really has any problems, I've managed to protect my younger brother's only son, and they should thank me.
What's wrong with being cautious?
My brother's family is honest and simple; without their support, they're bound to get taken advantage of!
She was doing it for Tang Liang's own good.
However, Tang's parents felt that their eldest brother had gone a bit too far!
