Chapter 90 [90] In the final analysis, you owe me.
"This is Mr. Tang, sent from headquarters. He's our chairman's son-in-law and is now in charge of all matters related to the factory in Shanghai."
Tang Yuanyuan's mind was buzzing with the image of Tang An in a suit, looking at her indifferently.
Why does Tang An always meet only daughters with various favorable conditions?
In the end, he still became a gigolo.
Li Mu pinched his waist impatiently: "What on earth is this grandson trying to do?"
"He's not trying to ruin our business, is he?"
Qian Tingting held onto a glimmer of hope and said, "No matter what, the two companies are now in a cooperative relationship. We're in charge of front-end sales. Only when our business is good can they make a living. If they want to harm us, they won't get away with it either. He can't do something that would harm others and not benefit himself, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan was now at her wit's end. The production rights had already been handed over. Leaning back in her chair, she said, "He hates me to the core. He won't come to my aid. He must be up to something bad."
"Let's counter it as it happens."
"Let's take care of our own business first."
Tang An's tactics were rough and direct: no production and no supply.
Qian Tingting said puzzledly, "Now, every store is out of stock. Is he crazy? If he does this, their factory will also be destroyed."
Li Mu got up from his chair and said, "I'm going to find that bastard!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Don't go. He hates us. If you go to him on his territory now, you'll be walking into a tiger's mouth. He's waiting for you to come to him and humiliate him."
Li Mu strode out of the office: "I'm not afraid of him being a gigolo!"
Tang Yuanyuan instructed Qian Tingting to follow: "Go and see, don't let him suffer any loss."
Li Mu drove the car as fast as an airplane, knocked the security guard down, and went straight to the factory director's office: "Tang An, you bastard, what do you mean!"
The two security guards in front of Tang An stepped forward and stood in front of Li Mu.
Tang An waved his hand, signaling the security guard to stop. He leaned back in his chair, his hands elegantly folded on his sides, and said gracefully, "What's the rush? We're all old classmates. I'll definitely take good care of you. Sit down and let's talk."
Li Mu: "Don't try to show off! What do you mean by not supplying me with goods?"
Tang An curled his lips and smiled: "If you want the goods, ask my sister to come to me. Maybe I can provide them to you."
Today, Tang An wears a suit, a famous watch on his wrist, and shiny leather shoes, looking like a typical big boss.
Li Mu: "You're a gigolo, you think you're rich just because you wear a suit and hang out with a rich woman? Have you forgotten how lowly you looked when you were Yu Fangfang's dog? Do you think you're worthy enough to ask your sister to beg you?"
"Bah!"
There are two people Tang An hates the most, one is Tang Yuanyuan and the other is Yu Fangfang.
When he was young and frivolous in his first year of high school, he would sit up in bed in the middle of the night again and again because of Yu Fangfang's teasing, and his heart was like a blown-up balloon.
He is so good to her, why does he play tricks on her again and again?
At first, he just wanted to marry Yu Fangfang to support his studies, but later on, he was driven by unwillingness and hatred.
He must play Yu Fangfang in the palm of his hand.
He was almost abnormally harsh on himself, using every penny he earned to buy her expensive snacks, kneeling on the ground to tie her shoelaces and rub her feet.
What is more unbearable than money is his self-esteem.
Even so, Yu Fangfang still didn't feel moved at all, and in the end, she even kicked him away like a piece of trash.
During that period, he was the laughing stock of the whole school, and even many of his only brothers stopped associating with him.
During that period, he couldn't recall how he couldn't sleep for many nights.
If it weren't for these things, he wouldn't have been so deeply affected and would have only been able to get into a junior college.
It was not until he left Yucheng and was in the capital, where no one knew him, that he came out of those shadows and never thought about Yu Fangfang again.
She is now Tang An's Achilles' heel.
Now that he was exposed in this way, the elegance and arrogance he had just shown disappeared, leaving only anger and resentment on his face.
Damn it!
All of them were guilty and in debt to him.
"I have plenty of money and time to play with you guys now," Tang An said viciously, "Your money is all invested in the cake shop now, right? It won't be long, just a month, and your shop will run out of cakes to sell, your customers will leave, and your funds will be cut off. You will become penniless paupers."
"At this time, you are still standing on her side. Do you want to die with her?"
"Either let her come and beg me, or you will die together."
He ordered the security guard: "Throw it out."
Li Mu punched a security guard on the nose, then nimbly and smoothly landed on the table, grabbed the transparent heavy ashtray in the middle, picked it up and smashed it on Tang An's head.
The whole process took only three seconds.
The ashtray wiped his face and dodged. Tang An's face turned pale: "Are you useless?"
Li Mu amused himself at the anger on Tang An's face, and then he broke away from the security guard with satisfaction: "No need for you to chase me away, I can walk on my own."
The two security guards didn't expect that when they were holding Li Mu and pushing him outside, he could actually break free swiftly and almost hit the boss. This kid is too damn arrogant!
He's a born hooligan.
Fortunately, this person left on his own, otherwise they would have been in so much trouble.
At this moment, Li Mu, who had taken two steps, suddenly turned around and let out three strange "Oh Oh Oh" sounds, as if he was going to attack. The two security guards looked nervous, and even Tang An took two steps back, fearing that he would really hit them.
Li Mu laughed heartily with satisfaction, turned around and left.
Tang An's face turned ashen!
Li Mu is really a good helper. He is as useful as a mad dog. He can bite people without anyone's command. I took care of him for several years, but he was taken away by someone else.
What is so good about Tang Yuanyuan that Li Mu would give up himself and work so hard for her?
This time, he must make both of them regret it.
Li Mu angrily kicked the door open and plopped down on the conference table. "You guessed it right. Your brother's bastard is here for you and he specifically asked you to beg him."
"He's daydreaming."
Tang Yuanyuan leaned back in her chair, "He told you so clearly? What were his exact words?"
Qian Tingting repeated to her: "If you want the goods, ask my sister to come to me. Maybe I can supply them to you."
Li Mu: "Don't believe his lies. He also said later that he has plenty of money to waste on us. He just wants to take this opportunity to humiliate you."
"Of course I don't believe him," Tang Yuanyuan said as she pondered, "The cake shop is all we have, but he's right. He has a woman behind him now, so he has the time and money to kill us, and he can still live well."
"I can't afford to delay. This meeting is indeed necessary."
Li Mu: "I disagree. He has no good intentions at all. You will suffer no good consequences if you go there. You don't really think that if you ask him for help, he will supply you with goods, right?"
"I'm not stupid," Tang Yuanyuan said. "I just want to trick him. I'm not looking for trouble. Tingting, call their factory and tell them I'm treating Manager Tang to dinner."
"As for the time, it's at noon. If he agrees, we can order a private restaurant nearby."
Qian Tingting made a call, and after a while, the other end called back and said that Tang An agreed, but the location had to be a five-star hotel because he now only eats meals prepared by chefs from five-star hotels.
Tang Yuanyuan had no objection and asked Qian Tingting to order food in Tang An's name.
She printed out another stack of things from her computer: "Hang them all on the walls of the box. Make sure they cover everything."
"Our Tang family has produced such an extraordinary person, and our ancestors should also meet him."
Li Mu gave a thumbs up.
As expected of Tang Yuanyuan, only she could come up with such a mean trick.
Just as Tang Yuanyuan expected, Tang An rode in the luxury car proudly, his hands gently patting his knees.
Isn't Tang Yuanyuan now asking for help from me?
After a while, he asked her to kneel in front of him and confess.
But even if she confessed, he would still bankrupt her.
He wanted Tang Yuanyuan to live in poverty for the rest of her life, to experience the humiliation he had suffered, and then to watch him become successful and look up to him for the rest of his life.
Just like those three years for him, so bitter and depressing.
Thinking that this was Tang Yuanyuan's ending, he felt that life was extremely happy.
If he didn't know Tang Yuanyuan's temper, he actually wanted to leave her alone a few more times, but he was afraid that Tang Yuanyuan would miss today and not come to beg him, so he came here in a humble manner.
The receptionist wearing white gloves opened the car door. He straightened his suit with fishbone pattern, raised the corners of his lips into a smug smile, and let the waiter lead him into the box.
His smile froze.
Because, in this room, all the lights were turned off, only candles were lit, and the entire wall was covered with Zhang Lancao's portrait.
The curtains were drawn. In the orange candlelight, Zhang Lancao's black and white portrait looked like a ghost demanding revenge. Tang An felt a chill run up his tailbone and subconsciously took two steps back before he could calm himself down.
"Tang Yuanyuan, what do you mean!"
"Are you trying to use Mom to play the emotional card with me?"
Tang Yuanyuan held three incense sticks in her hand and bowed three times to Xiao Xiang calmly: "It's nothing. You've made it big now and married into a wealthy family. Of course, I should tell Mom about such a good thing."
"Mom has worried about us two the most in her life. Come, say a few words to her so that she can rest in peace in the grave."
Tang An angrily cursed: "Are you fucking sick?"
"Are you really disgusting me?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Although you've married into the Tang family, you're still a member of the Tang family. Why don't you want to burn incense to your mother? Or is it that now that you're married into the Tang family, the other party won't let you recognize your mother? Will you still recognize Tang Aiguo? Will your future children also have to trust the woman?"
Every word was a poke at Tang An's lungs!
Tang An was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Don't worry about my affairs. You should think about yourself. You have worked hard to build up your family business for five years, and now it will all be gone."
"You are cold-hearted, not particularly good-looking, not gentle and virtuous, and can't cook well. I guess no good man would be willing to marry you. It is definitely impossible for you to enter the upper class through marriage. In the future, you will either follow a gangster like Li Mu or marry an old man at random."
"I guess I'll have to live in this quagmire for the rest of my life."
Tang Yuanyuan: "You have quite dark circles under your eyes. So you always have these kinds of dreams in your dreams at night? No wonder you look like you're going to die soon."
"When you die suddenly one day, I will burn paper for you. Of course, it's not because you are my brother. After all, you are always eating women. I am afraid that Mom can't bear to leave you alone and save her from the hardship of raising you in the underworld. I can only burn more for you."
"You're still so good at cursing." Tang An sneered, "I hope you'll still be so good at cursing when you go bankrupt."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I sincerely advise you not to daydream like this, it will make you crazy. Also, even if you are kicked out by the wealthy family, I will not go bankrupt."
"I will only get better and richer day by day."
Tang An: "Is this kind of bickering interesting?"
"I'll only give you this one chance. If you beg me, I'll supply you with goods and won't let your store go bankrupt."
He beckoned, "You could have opened stores all over Shanghai, beyond Shanghai, and even across the country. With that fortune, you would have become an outstanding female entrepreneur."
"Are you sure you want to be angry with me and give up this opportunity?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "It sounds like we shouldn't act on impulse."
"But I'm curious, you wish I were bankrupt, would you be so kind?"
Tang An felt that the most painful way to make a person suffer was to ignite her hope and then make her despair.
He couldn't wait to see despair and resentment on Tang Yuanyuan's face, which was twisted like a worm in a gutter and made people want to laugh.
"No matter what, we are siblings and share the same blood."
His tone was calm and nonchalant, as if he truly didn't care. He said seductively, "Thinking carefully, there's no specific hatred between us. It's just some quarrels. It's not impossible to put this matter behind us."
Tang Yuanyuan: "You sound like a human being when you say that."
"I thought you were a beast."
"In order to support your education, I dropped out of school and worked as a Communist in a textile factory for a year."
"I have always fulfilled my responsibilities as a sister to you. Even though we haven't gotten along well since childhood and often quarreled, I still remember the time you were bullied. I chased a boy who was a head taller than me and beat him for several miles."
"If you hadn't been so unruly and always stood on Tang Aiguo's side, hurting my mother and me, and even instigating the locking up of my mother and me, using me as a gift, and killing my mother, why would we have ended up like this?"
"After all, you owe me."
"I owe it to my mother."
"We have never wronged you."
"Speaking of this, I still want to ask you, back then, Mom had already decided to divorce Tang Aiguo. What did you say to her that made her change her mind and decide to continue living with Tang Aiguo, doing his laundry, cooking, and serving him?"
Tang An's face turned ashen with anger: "Don't say these nonsense to me again."
"Are you begging me or not? If not, I'll leave."
He pretended to leave and strode towards the door. He didn't believe that Tang Yuanyuan could remain unmoved.
"What's the rush?" Tang Yuanyuan sat down on the chair. "Didn't you ask me to treat you to a meal? The food is on the table. It's all what you requested. It's the chef's specialty. I even opened a bottle of red wine for you. It's quite expensive."
Tang An is no longer the poor boy he used to be. Let alone a meal in a five-star hotel, he has been going in and out of five-star hotels every day for the past six months. Of course, he doesn't care about this meal.
What's more, he couldn't eat at all when looking at Zhang Lancao's portrait.
He said impatiently: "Eat it yourself. I just want one word now, do you want to beg or not?"
Tang Yuanyuan dragged a chair out with one hand, sat down, folded her hands and placed them on her chin. The candlelight made her face look like it was covered with a layer of mist, and behind her was Zhang Lancao's portrait.
Most of her face looks like Zhang Lancao.
It's even more creepy.
"If it's a simple request, then of course it's easy, a matter of words. But if it's a humiliating request, then it's too much to ask. Tell me, how do you want me to ask?"
Tang An's patience was aroused again. He felt that Tang Yuanyuan was now a mouse trapped in the room, and he was the mouse.
It is more interesting to catch and kill mice little by little.
He regained his gentlemanly demeanor and said, "You said I was wrong. I'm sorry."
"It's that simple."
"I'm not used to you, a beast, suddenly becoming a human being," Tang Yuanyuan said. "After all, when you were 15, you first seduced Zhou Wei, hoping she would pay for your schooling. When that didn't work out, you immediately switched to Fangfang. Seeing that Fangfang couldn't catch up, you fell for her wealthy cousin, the only daughter of a wealthy man. You even didn't let go of a 13-year-old girl. If it weren't for me, you would have been living off her long ago, and you wouldn't have ended up like this until today."
"I thought you hated me in your heart."
Tang Anfei was so angry!
He swallowed hard, and then he suppressed the anger that was stuck in his neck: "What happened in the past is over."
"I don't want to hear another word!"
"Are you going to admit your mistake or not?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Don't be angry, I'm telling you, isn't that enough?"
She felt no burden at all: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, okay? Can you be a human being now?"
This is not the way to admit mistakes.
What Tang An wanted was for Tang Yuanyuan to endure the nausea and unwillingness, but still have to painfully admit her mistake, which was a sense of personal insult.
But Tang Yuanyuan still had a smile on her face, without any sincerity or pain. The light in her playful eyes was full of mockery and ridicule towards him.
"I regret it now, but you simply won't change your ways," Tang An said, changing the subject: "Unless you're willing to kneel down and tell me."
Tang Yuanyuan sighed: "I knew it, beasts will always be beasts and can never be human."
"You can go now."
Tang An was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "Tang Yuanyuan, you have guts!"
"I'm waiting to see how you die."
Tang Yuanyuan tilted his head arrogantly, leaning lazily on the chair: "I should be the one saying this. I'm waiting to see how you die."
Tang An carefully observed every detail on Tang Yuanyuan's face. Her eyes were full of energy and her hair was full of fighting spirit.
If she really didn't have any tricks up her sleeve, how could it be like this?
And Li Mu, why didn't he bother to ask him for help?
Their store has been transformed. Apart from her own factory, Yunduo is her competitor. No one can provide her with that amount of cakes, and they can't go beyond Shanghai.
Yun Duo's way out is blocked by herself, why is she so arrogant?
right.
He must be teasing himself while holding his breath.
Tang An sneered. He only needed to wait another ten days or half a month before he would see Tang Yuanyuan crying.
There's no point in this verbal argument, so he turned around and strode away.
Tang Yuanyuan urged the waiter behind him, "You, go quickly, he'll pay for this meal."
Tang An turned around, speechless.
Could this person be any more shameless?
Tang Yuanyuan said, "This restaurant was booked on behalf of your factory, so you can't refuse to pay."
Tang An: "You are really crazy because of poverty."
Tang Yuanyuan picked up the red wine on the table with a smile. It was a 1982 Lafite, 30,000 yuan a bottle. It was a pity that she had asked for it, otherwise she would have sold it.
I can only take it back and drink it.
Then I opened the cabinet next to it and saw the tape in the tape recorder rotating regularly.
Very good, I recorded it all word for word.
Li Mu sat outside feeling very uneasy. He finally waited until Tang Yuanyuan came out and ran over to her. "How's it going? What did the grandson say?"
Tang Yuanyuan, still holding a glass of red wine, said, "Just as we suspected before, they just want to laugh at me and kill me."
Li Mu: "So what should we do now? More than a dozen stores are almost empty. Are we really going to go bankrupt?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm going to go find Mr. Chen now. As long as he's willing to lend us a hand, we can get through this for the time being."
Li Mu suspected that Tang Yuanyuan was just daydreaming: "What are you thinking? He is our competitor, how could he possibly help us?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "He is different from us. He has many businesses. Cakes are no big deal for him. Or if he wants to acquire our cake shop, that's another option."
Li Mu felt relieved. "What you said is a way. At least we won't die too badly. At worst, we can start over again."
Tang Yuanyuan handed him the red wine: "I got it from Tang An, tens of thousands a bottle. Take it back and drink it. I need to go to Chen's first."
Li Mu was happy and actually felt less panicked: "Hey! I'll get it back and wait for you to come back together."
Tang Yuanyuan asked Qian Tingting to get in the car with her, and Li Mu went back to the company alone.
Qian Tingting patted her heart in fear and said, "Great, there's finally a solution."
"It's not that easy," Tang Yuanyuan said, turning the steering wheel. "I lied to Li Mu. He doesn't know that I've offended the owner of the pirated Yun Duo. He doesn't like me and is unlikely to acquire me. Our store still has a contract with the factory, so it's of little value to outsiders. Even if they acquire us at a low price, it will be very troublesome."
"What's more, Pirated Cloud and we have the same positioning. If I go bankrupt, it will only benefit them. There's no need for them to take over my mess."
Qian Tingting's heart, which had just settled in her stomach, began to rise again: "Then why did you lie to Li Mu?"
"Then why are you looking for him?"
Tang Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly: "I'm looking for him because I want to use him."
"I have a plan, and I need your cooperation. Perhaps it can help Yun Duo find a way out, and help Li Mu and me find a way out."
Qian Tingting: "You say!"
"I will definitely do it."
Tang Yuanyuan's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she firmly stated her plan. She left Qian Tingting at Wing On Department Store and drove to Chen's by herself.
"The boss of Yunduo Honeyland?"
After listening to the secretary's report, Mr. Chen thought for a long time before he remembered Tang Yuanyuan.
