The Su family's sky collapsed without any warning.
First, the cooperative bank called one after another, changing their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book, talking about risk assessment and urging the Su family to pay back the money.
Before Su's father could catch his breath, the official document from the regulatory authorities was slammed on the table. It stated in black and white that the Su Group had falsified financial data in its cooperation project with the Fu family and was suspected of commercial fraud.
Several major company accounts of the Su family were frozen on the spot.
Father Su was feeling dizzy from a pile of debt collection letters. When he heard that his account was frozen, his vision went dark and he collapsed straight down.
The ambulance rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said it was caused by anxiety and a serious cardiovascular problem. He was taken directly to the intensive care unit and lost consciousness.
When Su's mother rushed to the hospital, she saw her husband lying there soundlessly with tubes inserted all over his body. She had never seen such a scene in her life, and her calves went weak on the spot.
But looking at the person on the hospital bed and thinking about the Su family's affairs, she knew that she could not fail.
Su's mother forced herself to return to the company, hoping to stabilize the situation.
But when the financial director spread the company's real account books in front of her with shaking hands, she realized that the Su family's hole was even bigger than she thought.
Almost all the company's available money is used to subsidize deficits, and the numbers on the books are just empty shells to fool people.
Mother Su was so angry that she was shaking and her vision was black: "This is going to kill the Su family!"
With nowhere else to go, Su's mother had only one name left in her mind - Jiang Tingchen.
Perhaps this young man is the only one who can give the Su family a chance to survive right now.
She threw all her face on the ground and called Jiang Tingchen.
The call went through, and Mother Su's voice was filled with tears and was extremely humble: "Boss Jiang, this is Aunt Su. I wonder if you are busy now?"
Jiang Tingchen couldn't tell any emotion: "Aunt Su, what's the matter?"
"Boss Jiang, I beg you, please have mercy and give the Su family a chance to live!" Su's mother burst into tears. "Old Su... he was so angry that he was admitted to the ICU and hasn't woken up yet. The company accounts have been frozen. We were wrong, the Su family was really wrong! We will give you any compensation you want, as long as you can make an effort to let the regulators and the bank..."
Jiang Tingchen was silent for a few seconds, his voice still as calm as ever: "Madam Su, the current situation of the Su Group is not caused by a single reason. What Miss Su Yao did is not just a matter of business ethics, it is illegal. I personally do not have the ability to influence the regulatory authorities."
"No, Mr. Jiang, you must have a way!" Mother Su seemed to be grasping at the last straw. "As long as you are willing to help, things will definitely turn around. Tingchen, please beg me. Considering that you and Yaoyao have known each other since childhood, and considering that the Su and Jiang families have a good relationship..."
Jiang Tingchen's voice became colder: "Madam Su, that's not how old love works. You know what Su Yao did to me and what she did to Xue'er. She has to take the consequences of what she did."
"Yes, she deserves it. She deserves it!" Mother Su quickly changed her tone, her attitude humbled. "As long as you are willing to give the Su family a chance, I will make Yaoyao apologize to Miss Ning and to you! You can ask her to do anything you want!"
"Whatever you ask her to do is fine." Jiang Tingchen's tone was filled with an inexplicable meaning.
"Yes, anything is fine!" Su's mother didn't even think about it.
Jiang Tingchen paused for a moment, then relayed his words word by word: "Okay. My conditions are not complicated. Su Yao must hold a press conference and publicly apologize to Ning Nanxue, to the Fu Group, and to everyone she has deceived and harmed. She must admit everything. She must promise in front of everyone that from now on, she will leave the business circle forever and never touch any business-related activities again."
Su's mother's heart sank. These two conditions were like a public execution to Su Yao, and they would cut off all her escape routes.
"Boss Jiang, this... this is too..."
"Madam Su," Jiang Tingchen didn't let her finish, "this is the biggest concession I can make. If Su Yao can't do it, you should be able to imagine what the end of the Su Group will be. I'll give you one day. I'll wait for your reply at this time tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Tingchen hung up the phone.
Su's mother returned to the Su family villa in a daze, holding her cell phone.
Su Yao was sitting in the living room. Although her face was pale, there was still a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes.
"Mom, what's going on? What did Jiang Tingchen say? Is he scared and willing to reconcile?" Su Yao asked anxiously when she saw her mother, with a hint of expectation and a bit of contempt in her words.
Mother Su looked at her daughter's behavior, and the anger she had just suppressed suddenly rose up again. Her voice was tired and hoarse: "He made some conditions."
"What are the conditions? How much money do you want? Even if our Su family sells everything they have, we will..."
"He doesn't want money." Mother Su interrupted her, spouting out words one by one, "He wants you to hold a press conference and publicly apologize to Ning Nanxue and everyone. He also wants you to promise in front of all the media to quit the business world forever."
"What?!" Su Yao jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her voice shrill and piercing. "Public apology? Never enter the business world? Tingchen is going to destroy me! Mom, how could you agree to such a condition!"
"If I don't agree, the Su family will be finished! Your father is still lying in the hospital, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive! You embezzled so much money from the company. If this matter gets out, not only will your reputation be ruined, you will also be sued! Yaoyao, wake up!"
Su's mother roared at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her face.
A trace of panic passed through Su Yao's face, but it was quickly covered by a deeper hatred: "If I have to sue, I will sue! If I don't have a good life, Ning Nanxue won't be comfortable either! Jiang Tingchen, he treated me like this, he will regret it sooner or later! Does he think he can protect Ning Nanxue forever? "
"He simply doesn't understand how much I've done for him! He's the one who's ungrateful and forced me to do this!" Her eyes burned with deep hatred for Jiang Tingchen. The love she once had for him had long since changed and turned into the most poisonous resentment.
"You..." Mother Su was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Su Yao and couldn't speak for a long time. She looked at her daughter who was so stubborn that she felt cold in her heart.
After a long while, she took a breath, her eyes filled with despair and a fierce determination to fight for it: "Yaoyao, the hard work of several generations of the Su family cannot be lost in your hands. Your father...he can't fall down like this!"
Su Yao suddenly jumped up from the sofa. The luck and unwillingness on her face were torn to pieces by her mother's words, and her face looked a little hideous.
She stared at Su's mother, her voice sharp and piercing: "Who the hell is Jiang Tingchen? Who does he think he is? Can he use such means to make me bow my head?"
"Mom, tell him that I, Su Yao, have never known how to write the word 'fear' since I was a child! He dared to do this to me today, and he will cry in the future! He will definitely regret it! Absolutely!" Su Yao's attitude became more and more intense.
