As soon as Tang Guofeng arrived at home, he asked Tang Zechen to meet him in the study. The atmosphere in the room crackled with tension as the father and the son confronted each other on both sides of the table.
Liu Lifang waited anxiously outside the study.
The last time Tang Guofeng got so furious was when the company had a cash flow problem. Whatever irritated him this time must be just as serious.
"You're way out of line this time, young man. How dare you provoke Li Han? Did the divorce make you crazy?" Tang Guofeng scolded loudly.
Tang Zechen, who remained calm, replied with a sneer, "Dad, you're really losing your patience with age. Don't make a fuss. It's not a big deal. I didn't expect you to be so scared of Li Han."
Bang!
Tang Guofeng slapped the table hard. "Yes, you are not scared! How could our warrior who always cause trouble for me ever be scared? Let me ask you this. Have you ever made any achievements after taking charge of the company? Have you ever managed a single project well? The company is in danger now, and let's see what did you do to solve the problem. You provoked Li Han and caused him to run directly to the company to confront me!"
After Li Han's visit, all their partners ended the cooperation, which had cost Tang Guofeng so much time and effort and tons of obsequious smiles to get. The company was in a crisis now. They couldn't afford to cancel another contract.
"Li Han went to the company?" Tang Zeren was shocked as he didn't expect Li Han to do so much for Shu Tian the bitch. "He seems to have special interests in things abandoned by others."
"His feeling for Shu Tian is definitely beyond interest. Actually, he is now infatuated with her. If you keep causing trouble to Shu Tian, you're absolutely going to lose more. This house as well as BY Technology will be taken over by Li Han sooner or later!" Tang Guofeng coughed due to anger when he thought about what might happen in the future.
Tang Zechen felt sorry when he saw this but he was still unwilling to agree with his father. "Dad, maybe you're overestimating Li Han. He couldn't be that powerful. After all, he doesn't own J City..."
Tang Guofeng snorted. "It's true that J City doesn't belong to him, but none of the powerful people in this city dare to challenge him."
Frightened by what Tang Guofeng said, Tang Zechen sat still in silence.
"I know you're not reconciled, but you have no choice but to kneel to those who are more powerful than you. This is the principle of life. Zechen, I've devoted my entire life to BY Technology and now I'm begging you as your father: Don't provoke Li Han again." Using both carrot and stick, Tang Guofeng softened his voice. "What's between you and Shu Tian, no matter it's good or bad, is all past now. Don't lose anything more due to her because we don't have much left now!"
"But dad..."
No one knew a man better than his own father. Tang Guofeng, who had guessed out what Tang Zechen was going to say, interrupted him and handed him some paper from the drawer. "Read them yourself."
Tang Zechen took it over in confusion. It was the detailed financial statements of the company for the last two months.
His face darkened as he read it.
As he finished the reading, he finally understood why Tang Guofeng was so furious.
The situation was much worse than he had imagined. He had a bad feeling after reading this.
"Dad, this... What on earth happened to our company?"
"You've seen it all." Tang Guofeng's face darkened completely. "Don't do such a thing ever again. BY Technology might be destroyed by your little mistake, understand?"
Tang Zechen couldn't say anything else at this moment, no matter how reluctant he was. Compared to the crisis the company was in and the divorce, everything else was not so important. He felt like he could endure them all.
However...
"Dad, are we going to let Shu Tian go easily? That bitch is the reason for everything we've been suffering!"
Tang Guofeng let out a heavy sigh. "Zechen, forget it! Forget it..."
[...]
Tang Zechen left his family's house and got into the car in a bad mood.
Jiang Mengyao was waiting for him in the front passenger seat. Tang Zechen had been moody these days and often lost his temper for no reason, which forced Jiang Mengyao to observe the look on his face before she said anything to him. Although she had moved into the mansion Shu Tian once lived in, she was exhausted every day since she had to be extremely careful when facing Tang Zechen.
Now that Tang Zechen was obviously gloomy, Jiang Mengyao didn't even dare to breathe, avoiding making any sound that could irritate him.
