"It's done? Hahaha, I knew it. That kid is so useless, you were bound to succeed with this!" Lin Lan rushed out of the shop upon hearing the news. "Quick, to the office! A major client has been waiting for a long time, offering one hundred million yuan, and has already paid a ten million yuan deposit!"
"Really? Then let's hurry." Su Qianqian, who had initially intended to wait for the item to appreciate in value, was overjoyed at this price and quickly walked towards the office.
Pushing open the office door, Su Qianqian immediately saw a middle-aged man in a luxury suit smoking a cigar.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the middle-aged man turned his face, revealing a large, prominent mole beneath his eyebrows. Seeing the mother and daughter enter, he immediately asked, "Is what I wanted here?"
"It's here, it's here!"
Lin Lan said with a chuckle, "This is my daughter, Su Qianqian. She's the one who went specifically to purchase the Imperial Green for you this time."
"This is Mr. Tang, the Vice Chairman of Tang Group! Qianqian, quickly pour tea for Mr. Tang."
"Yes, Mom." Su Qianqian's eyes immediately lit up. Tang Group was one of the top conglomerates in Jiangcheng, with an assessed market value of over thirty billion yuan last year!
If she could hook up with this influential figure, she would strike it rich.
Immediately, she deliberately tugged at her clothes, revealing a sliver of skin, hoping to entice Mr. Tang.
However, Mr. Tang said impatiently, "Stop with all this nonsense. I only want the Imperial Green. Hurry up and bring out the item, I have urgent matters to attend to."
"Yes, yes." Su Qianqian was startled and quickly took out the box containing the Imperial Green, handing it over and saying, "Mr. Tang, please examine it."
"Good." Mr. Tang immediately put down his cigar, wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, then took the box and slowly opened it with great excitement.
With a click, the box opened, but his face turned ashen, as if he were about to kill someone.
Su Qianqian and Lin Lan looked at each other in surprise.
Su Qianqian whispered, "Mr. Tang, what's wrong, ah!"
Suddenly!
Mr. Tang raised the box and smashed it directly into her face, cursing, "You bitch! This is Imperial Green?"
The box hit Su Qianqian's face squarely, causing her to cry out in pain. Just as she was about to burst into tears of grievance, she saw a cloud of dust drift before her eyes.
What is this?
Lin Lan also leaned in to look. There was no Imperial Green jade to be seen, only a pile of extremely fine powder. She exclaimed in shock, "Qianqian, what's going on?"
"I... no, how could this happen?" Su Qianqian's eyes widened, her face deathly pale.
Mr. Tang sneered, "Heh, you have guts. You mother and daughter truly have immense audacity, daring to cheat even me!"
"How brave!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Tang, please don't misunderstand. There's something fishy about this." Su Qianqian quickly said.
"Hmph,"
Mr. Tang said coldly, "I don't care what's fishy. I've already paid the deposit. Within three days, if I don't see the promised high-grade Imperial Green, I will tear down your shop."
"You should know how much influence my Tang family wields in Jiangcheng. If you try to run, you can give it a shot."
"No, we won't run. But Mr. Tang, please listen to my explanation, this matter..." Su Qianqian quickly hugged his leg, trying to explain.
Mr. Tang, however, gave her no chance, kicking her away and walking out.
With the situation escalating to this point, Lin Lan's face turned ashen. "Qianqian, what on earth are you doing!"
"Mom, I really got the Imperial Green." Su Qianqian suddenly thought of something and said venomously, "It's Li Yang! He must have tampered with it!"
"As long as we find him, we can definitely get my Imperial Green back!"
"How will you get it back? Do you have any proof?" Lin Lan questioned.
Su Qianqian's expression changed. She really didn't have any proof. After the transaction, she had taken the Imperial Green and hailed a taxi back, holding the box the entire way. There was absolutely no way anyone else could have touched it.
"Mom, the item is definitely still with that kid. We just need to find a way to make him obediently hand over the item."
"You mean?"
"That thing hasn't been used up yet, has it? Let him have a taste of it, let him die of illness, and then it will be easy, won't it?"
"Alright, things have come to this, he's forcing us, mother and daughter!"
The mother and daughter exchanged glances, and a malicious plan was born.
At the east entrance of Tang Group, Tang Xinyu, dressed in a female business suit, stood elegantly by the company signboard. Her figure-hugging skirt and long, slender legs in black stockings continuously attracted waves of attention.
"Good morning, President Tang."
"Mm, hello."
As people greeted her, Tang Xinyu politely responded, but her mind was entirely occupied by Li Yang and the wild events of last night.
"Sigh, this guy, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Miss Tang, are you waiting for me?" A young man dressed flamboyantly parked his car nearby, a red rose in his mouth, stealing a glance at her prominent chest, a hidden glint flashing in his eyes.
This guy's features were all rather petty. Even Wu Dalang would be considered a handsome man like Pan An compared to him.
Tang Xinyu was not a woman who judged people by their appearance, but upon seeing this fellow, her brow immediately furrowed. "Zhang Ziming, what are you doing here? Haven't I already told you? It's impossible between us."
"Miss Tang, don't jump to conclusions so quickly." Zhang Ziming pushed open his car door, walked out with a file bag, and handed it to her. "I know your Tang Group is in big trouble and desperately needs a significant amount of funds, otherwise, you risk bankruptcy, or even the entire direct lineage of the Tang family facing imprisonment and disaster."
"And this is a loan agreement for one hundred billion yuan. As long as you sign it, this money will be transferred to Tang Group's account from Jiangcheng Bank within an hour, with negligible interest."
"One hundred billion?" Tang Xinyu's beautiful face moved. With so much money, her family's situation could indeed improve.
However, she also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Zhang Ziming bringing such a document with him, and his intentions, even a naive, sweet, pampered young lady could figure it out.
Zhang Ziming was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Miss Tang, after all, I am the future heir of Jiangcheng Bank. In terms of status and position, I am not inferior to you, am I?"
"If you become my woman, it wouldn't be humiliating for you, would it?"
"Zhang Ziming, I never judge people by their background, but what kind of person are you? How many people in this circle don't know?" Tang Xinyu bit her lip and said, "How many innocent girls have you killed? Do you think I don't know?"
"You,"
Zhang Ziming's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Those are all rumors. If they were true, would I still be alive and well now?"
"Think about the lives of your entire family. Can you bear to let them go to prison for life because the company went bankrupt and couldn't repay its debts?"
"As long as you become my woman, they will have a way out!"
"I don't want to know why you were able to live before, but if you don't get lost now, I guarantee you won't live for many more days."
Just as he was about to further threaten Tang Xinyu, a voice came from the side.
