Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Confused Qi Yulu

A mask of a standardized, business-like smile spread across his face as he loosened his facial muscles, which had stiffened from anger. Grasping the doorknob, he pushed it down, opened the door, and walked in.

"My esteemed guests from Tianchen, my apologies for the long wait... Wait a minute?!" Tang Qinghong’s smile instantly froze as he spotted someone he had no desire to see.

How could he be here?

Tang Yanran, accompanying him, was equally taken aback by this development.

Indeed, that person was Chen Wei.

"You, why are you here! This is not your place! Get out now, I don’t have time to mess with you today!" Tang Qinghong raised his hand, pointing towards the door, and yelled, "Get out! I’m giving you three seconds!"

"Is this how Sky Mountain Group treats its guests, with such a welcome?" Jiang Liwen, Secretary to Fu Yuanshan, slapped the table and stood up.

She knew very well who the person sitting beside her was—the real power behind Tianchen Group, without peer!

That Tang Qinghong dared speak to him in such a manner was simply courting death!

"Secretary Jiang, you’ve misunderstood. It wasn’t you I was asking to leave, it was him." Aware of who Jiang Liwen was, Tang Qinghong knew better than to anger her, the influential and trusted aide of Fu Yuanshan, and hurriedly explained.

"You might ask me to leave, but you definitely can’t ask him to get out! Do you have any idea who he is?" After hearing Tang Qinghong’s explanation, Jiang Liwen’s anger was not quelled; it flared up even more intensely.

Tang Qinghong’s actions were like pouring oil on the fire, only making Jiang Liwen’s temper burn hotter.

"You, you know him?" Tang Qinghong had never imagined that there was a connection between Chen Wei and Jiang Liwen.

And from the looks of it, it wasn’t a shallow one at that.

What a fool!

Standing to the side, Tang Yanran raised her hand to her forehead, feeling helpless and speechless at having such a clueless brother.

She could see what he had missed; entrusting Sky Mountain to someone like him left Tang Yanran feeling uneasy.

In fact, she even considered whether she should return to Sky Mountain and re-enter the business world.

In truth, from the start, Tang Jushan had prepared Tang Yanran to take over the family business.

Initially, Tang Yanran was quite enthusiastic about business and even performed well. However, everything went so smoothly that it lost her interest, and she willingly let Tang Qinghong take the opportunity.

But seeing how he was handling things, Tang Yanran really didn’t believe that Sky Mountain Group could flourish under Tang Qinghong’s leadership. Not to mention thriving, if he became the Family Master, the chairman, she feared that in less than half a year, Sky Mountain Group might face the risk of bankruptcy.

"He is the Chairman of our Tianchen Group!" Jiang Liwen spoke out loudly, fearing that Tang Qinghong might not hear or understand her clearly.

"What! He, he’s actually the Chairman of Tianchen? You must be joking with me, right? How could he possibly be the Chairman of Tianchen Group?" Tang Qinghong’s gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Wei and Jiang Liwen, desperately hoping she would tell him it was all a joke.

However, Jiang Liwen had no such intentions.

Her gaze turned to Chen Wei, "President Chen, regarding the cooperation between Tianchen and Sky Mountain, I think their sincerity is simply too poor. Perhaps we should just forget about the partnership."

Jiang Liwen wouldn’t allow anyone to insult Chen Wei.

Chen Wei raised his hand, interrupting Jiang Liwen, and looked straight at Tang Qinghong with an inquisitive smile, "Surprised, aren’t you?"

"..." Tang Qinghong was at a loss for words.

He desperately wanted to retort—surprised doesn’t cut it, I was damn near scared to death by you!

Could this be the real reason why my father and sister warned me not to antagonize him?

Indeed, he certainly seems more reliable than some illegitimate child.

Moreover, when compared to Tianchen Group, Sky Mountain Group really stood no chance. Although Sky Mountain was an old company with a solid foundation, it couldn’t match Tianchen, with its massive wealth, broad influence, and reach beyond Great Xia, including overseas.

"Personal grievances aside, business is business, cooperation is cooperation. Can’t we separate the two?" Tang Qinghong asked hesitantly, yet still spoke up.

"Originally, that was possible, but now, I’m afraid I have to reconsider."

"Why!" Tang Qinghong didn’t understand. What did he mean by ’originally’?

"Qi Yulu is my woman. She was drinking with me last night, had a bit too much, and is still sleeping at my place. I had someone prepare the cooperation contract specifically for her, and you called her a cheap woman. Tell me, why would I still want to cooperate with Sky Mountain?" Chen Wei countered Tang Qinghong.

"..." At that moment, Tang Qinghong truly grasped what it meant to suffer from one’s own words.

All prepared to finalize their cooperation, and yet, because of his insult towards Chen’s woman, the deal was teetering on the edge of cancellation.

In the end, it turned out that the person responsible for jeopardizing the partnership was not Qi Yulu, but himself!

The realization was far from comfortable for Tang Qinghong.

It was as if he had swallowed bitterness but couldn’t express his pain!

What Tang Qinghong did next surprised not only Chen Wei but also his sister Tang Yanran, who had watched him grow up.

With his personality, his temper, he actually knelt down!

"President Chen, I admit that everything previously was my fault, my mouth is foul, and I acknowledge it. I will punish myself, only asking you to look past this and cooperate with Sky Mountain." Having said this, he raised his hand and, in front of everyone, began slapping his own face.

He showed no mercy, the sound cracking like thunder.

Tang Yanran could only watch in heartache.

But she chose not to intercede, for deep down she believed this was a good opportunity for Tang Qinghong to grow.

What Tang Qinghong lacked was for someone like Chen Wei to curtail his haughtiness!

Chen Wei picked up the contract from the table, which he had already signed, and threw it in front of Tang Qinghong, saying, "The smartest decision Sky Mountain made was to appoint Qi Yulu as its CEO. Be sure to thank her."

"Thank you." Tang Qinghong picked up the cooperation contract, finally feeling the weight in his chest drop to the ground.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and heavy breathing could be heard, "No! I’m sorry, I, I’m late!"

The person who entered was none other than Qi Yulu.

Upon receiving a call from Tang Qinghong, Qi Yulu didn’t dare delay for a moment, hurriedly took a car over, and hadn’t even managed to wash up, looking disheveled.

Yet, even so, her charm was undiminished.

However, as soon as she arrived at the meeting room and saw the scene before her, Qi Yulu’s mind buzzed with confusion, extreme confusion.

What on earth was going on?

Why was Chen Wei here?

Why was he sitting down, while Jiang Liwen, Fu Yuanshan’s secretary, stood by the side?

What baffled Qi Yulu even more was, why was Tang Qinghong kneeling on the ground?

For someone like him to kneel before anyone?

It was simply inconceivable!
