88: Chapter 88 Wavering Grass on the Wall 88: Chapter 88 Wavering Grass on the Wall “Qiulu, now the entire Tang Family looks to you.

Think carefully about what to do.

If you can salvage this, from now on, you will have decision-making power within the group, and you won’t need to report to anyone, including me,” the Old Madam said.

“Old Madam, you saw Brother Cheng’s attitude at the time; you should be clearer on it than I am.

I can’t promise you that I can accomplish this,” Tang Qiulu said.

“You have to at least try.

The life or death of the Tang Family depends on you alone; you must do your best,” the Old Madam insisted.

“I understand.” After hanging up, Tang Qiulu couldn’t help but sigh.

Human relationships are especially mysterious; each use depletes them slightly.

No matter how close Su Changfeng and the boss of Weishui are, constantly bothering someone isn’t right.

Besides, Tang Qiulu doesn’t even know what she should do to continue the cooperation.

She hurriedly called Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi didn’t pick up, leaving Tang Qiulu with no options.

She tried repeatedly, but the result was the same.

That afternoon, the Tang Family held another internal meeting, with even the Old Madam attending.

When the members of the Tang Family realized that the cooperation would be terminated, everyone fell into a panic.

The Tang Family had placed everything on the West District project, and they all knew that if the cooperation failed, the Tang Family would be finished!

“Mom, why didn’t you discuss this with everyone?

Brother Cheng’s attitude was obvious.

Seeking someone else to take charge was asking for trouble!”

“Exactly, Old Madam, Tang Qiulu managed the cooperation exceptionally well.

Why insist on having Tang Xiangdong involved?”

“If the cooperation falls through, everyone will be implicated.

Can Tang Xiangdong take responsibility for this?”

Everyone in the Tang Family was here to denounce Tang Xiangdong.

Tang Xiangdong and Tang Zhenbang didn’t dare to speak because they realized the severe consequences.

“Old Madam, can you find the person who sent the betrothal gifts?

That person could probably save our family,” Tang Siwen asked.

Tang Siwen was still thinking about those gifts and wanted to bring them back home during this time.

Currently, Tang Qiulu lived in the Mountain Villa, prompting Tang Siwen to be even more anxious to get married because marrying would slightly balance things for her.

Her house might not compare to Tang Qiulu’s, but Tang Siwen was confident her man would be better than Su Changfeng.

The Old Madam shook her head.

After all, you couldn’t track down which family sent the gifts back, so there was no way to approach them to save the Tang Family.

“This matter is indeed my fault,” the Old Madam confessed.

She had never admitted fault before; even if she did something wrong, no one dared to say anything.

But now it was a matter of life and death for the Tang Family, and the Old Madam was very frightened and deeply regretted what she had done.

“Let Tang Qiulu solve this problem.

She was able to before; she can still resolve it this time,” someone suggested.

“Yes, only Tang Qiulu can save the Tang Family now.”

“Why isn’t she here yet?”

In the past, if Tang Qiulu was late for meetings, these people would have scolded her, but now, none dared to say a bad word because the entire Tang Family depended on Tang Qiulu.

At that moment, Tang Qiulu entered the meeting room, looking somewhat tired but visibly helpless.

“Qiulu, how are things?”

“Did Weishui Real Estate say they’d continue collaborating with our company?”

“With Qiulu on the case, it’s absolutely guaranteed to be settled.”

In the past, only Tang Xiangdong would receive such praise when he spoke, but now these folks began to commend Tang Qiulu?

It was like the sun rising in the west.

“I’ve called Brother Cheng numerous times, but he hasn’t picked up.

I just went to Weishui, and Brother Cheng refused to see me,” Tang Qiulu said.

These words chilled everyone.

If Tang Qiulu couldn’t turn the situation around, the Tang Family would have no choice but to go bankrupt.

“No way, perhaps you haven’t done your utmost?

Or maybe you didn’t show enough sincerity?”

“Qiulu, this is a life-or-death issue for the Tang Family; you must do all you can.”

“This is not a joke; why aren’t you taking this more seriously?”

Tang Qiulu, from the moment she received the news, had been thinking of contacting Cheng Shi and even went to their company, but since Cheng Shi refused to meet her, she was helpless.

Now, these people were saying she hadn’t tried hard enough?

“I haven’t tried hard enough?” Tang Qiulu’s face immediately darkened.

These people were only interested in taking credit and had the audacity to claim she hadn’t done her best.

If it weren’t for the Tang Family’s connections, these people wouldn’t even have the qualifications to sit in the meeting room!

“When I went to their company, I was kicked out.

I haven’t tried hard enough?

As soon as I received this news, I tried contacting Cheng Shi, calling countless times.

Cheng Shi never answered.

Fine, you think I haven’t tried my best, so you handle it.”

The Tang Family members, who had just been quarreling, fell silent.

They knew they weren’t capable of solving the problem.

Moreover, if they failed, the Tang Family would be ruined under their hands, and no one wanted to be blamed for that.

The Old Madam now had many prejudices against Tang Qiulu and didn’t want to see Tang Qiulu holding significant power in the company.

But given the current situation, she had no choice but to put those aside.

“Qiulu, you’d better think more about what to do.

Right now, the Tang Family is all on you,” the Old Madam said, sounding as if she’d lost half her life, listless.

Thinking about the possibility of the Tang Family being destroyed made her feel increasingly distressed.

At this moment, she couldn’t care about who the next chairman of the Tang Family would be; she only wanted to get through the current difficulties.

“I am also a member of the Tang Family, Old Madam.

I will do my utmost to protect the Tang Family,” Tang Qiulu said.

The Old Madam nodded and told the others in the meeting room, “If this time Qiulu can bring the Tang Family back, she will have the greatest authority over the West District project, and everyone in the Tang Family will have to follow her instructions.

Any objections?”

Despite most having opinions and not wanting to be under Tang Qiulu’s foot, at this critical moment, no one dared to speak out?

“Old Madam, no one has any objections.”

“Mom, I also have no problems; I just hope Qiulu can handle this issue as quickly as possible.”

At the Tang Family meeting, it was the first time Tang Qiulu could garner the support of everyone.

After the meeting, Tang Xiangdong returned to his office with a look of reluctance.
