The journalist paused and then asked her with a smile. “Miss Tang, may I ask what your relationship with this gentleman is?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “The relationship is between the guard and guarded.” She then nodded at the journalists, and looked back at her assistant. The latter immediately came over and stopped those journalists, saying, “Let’s call it a day. Excuse us.”
As soon as he said this, the security guards of the hotel came up to stop the journalists from coming up and guarded Tang Xi until she climbed into the car. And that bodyguard followed her into the car. Tang Xi took a surprised look at him, but he didn’t look at her, so she could only ask the driver to start the car.
It took them twenty minutes from the hotel to the Empire Group. After getting out of the car, Tang Xi found a chance to ask Qiao Liang in a low voice, “You have nothing to do? You’ll be bored following me.”
Qiao Liang followed behind her and the executives followed on behind him. Upon hearing her words, Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and answered in a low voice, “No.”
Tang Xi paused, looked back at Qiao Liang, and then continued to walk as if nothing had happened. Did he mean he wouldn’t be bored if he followed her? When she thought of this, her mood that had been bad after seeing those greedy people of the Tang Family became better.
She gave a sweet smile.
In the presidential suite of Universal Hotel in City A, Tang Zhenhua was stunned when he watched the news. He got a call from Xixi yesterday who told him not to go back to the capital because she would go back and sort out those people. He was surprised to hear that the present Xixi was no longer the Xixi from before. Now she was the daughter of the Xiao Family. How could she go back to the Empire Group with her current identity? He didn’t expect she would come back in this way… this face…
Tang Zhong didn’t know Tang Xi was still alive. He was shocked when he saw the news. He stared at the TV screen with wide open eyes and pointed to the screen. “Master… this… Miss… Miss is still…”
Tang Zhenhua smiled when he saw Tang Zhong in such a shock. He shook his head. “Don’t be so surprised. Xixi called me last night and told me she would deal with the company’s affairs recently. Let’s go to the mountains and stay there for a few days.”
Tang Zhong looked at Tang Zhenhua in surprise. After a short pause, he regained his composure and asked in a low voice, “Don’t you want to go back and see Miss, Master?
Tang Zhenhua shook his head. “I had planned to go back, but now I don’t want to. Let’s stay in the mountains for a few days.”
Tang Zhong looked at Tang Zhenhua and it had been quite a while before he nodded. “Okay, I will tell the people in the mountains to get ready for our arrival. How many days will you stay there?”
Tang Zhenhua. “A week or so.”
Tang Zhong nodded and left, and Tang Zhenhua stared at the TV screen and fell into a trance.
…
The Capital.
In the meeting room of the Empire Group, all the executives and shareholders were sitting in their seats and talking with each other. What they talked about was why Tang Xi came back so suddenly and nothing else. There were a range of expressions on their faces. Some people were excited about Tang Xi’s return, whereas some people had a sense of crisis at her unexpected return.
The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open and the noisy meeting room immediately turned strangely quiet. Everybody was looking at the door of the meeting room. The assistant pushed the door open, and Tang Xi came in from the outside. Seeing this, everyone stood up. Tang Xi took an indifferent look at the crowd and said flatly, “Let’s sit down.” Then she walked to the chair of the CEO and sat down. “In the past hour, I’ve read the company’s financial statements for the past three months and the following schedule, and all went well. It seems that during my absence from the company, you did your work very well.”
Everyone was relieved to hear her words. Tang Jieren smiled. “That’s what we should do. The Empire Group is our family business. Even if you don’t have the time to manage the company, we can’t be careless in our work, so…”
“Family business?” Tang Xi interrupted Tang Jieren before he finished. She looked coldly at Tang Jieren and raised her eyebrows as she said, “Director Tang. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. When did the Empire Group become your family business? I remember the Empire Group was founded by my grandfather more than forty years ago. You could become shareholders of the Empire Group, just because the Tang’s Group was acquired by the Empire Group and you had the shares of the Tang’s Group, so my grandfather didn’t drive you out, out of kindness. That’s why you can sit here. How can you call the Empire Group your family business?”
Upon hearing her words, Tang Jieren turned pale and even Tang Mingren and Tang Yaoren scowled. The other shareholders looked at each other doubtfully, wondering why Tang Xi said these harsh words to her uncles. Had she found out what Tang Jieren and the other Tang family people had done to the company?
“President, why did you say these to me. I…”
“It’s alright.” Tang Xi raised her hand to interrupt him and said coldly, “I’ve read Empire Entertainment’s latest business plan and its income statement for the past few months. It doesn’t look very good. What has the president of Empire Entertainment been up to?”
The president of Empire Entertainment was Tang Jieren’s son, Tang Hao. He was the guy with whom Tang Xi quarreled last night.
Tang Jieren was about to speak, when Tang Xi sneered. “He stays with actresses in hotels all day long, totally forgetting about his work. Director Tang, who made this trash the president of Empire Entertainment?”
Tang Jieren’s face turned liver-colored. Tang Xi snorted in her heart when she saw Tang Jieren’s look. She had prepared a lot of mean words for them. It wasn’t the right time yet. Otherwise she would have rushed up and slapped them hard to avenge herself!
Tang Jieren tried to suppress his anger and forced a smile. “President, I will educate that child myself. Please give him a chance…”
Tang Xi snorted, and looked back at his assistant. The latter nodded, and passed the statements in his hand to Tang Xi. Tang Xi took them over and threw them onto the table, “How do you explain this expenditure. I need you to give me an explanation. Eighty million Yuan, but there is no project. Can you tell me where you spent this money?
If she had guessed correctly, this money was spent on killing her. These people thought she had died, so no one would ask about this money? They thought that they could do whatever they wanted to the company since Grandpa was sick?! She’d like to see how they were going to return the money!
