The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1651 - 1650: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Young lady, I'm walking back and forth here; do you really not mind at all?"The receptionist yawned constantly, barely paying any attention to Tang Rao. After all, he was just someone she didn't know, and it wasn't like a leader had come in; she was just here for the paycheck, so why bother being so dedicated?

"I don't mind, big brother. Since you're so handsome, I'll reluctantly tell you, actually, our company is about to declare bankruptcy. Everyone's in panic, waiting to collect unemployment insurance. Why am I working? Isn't it just to get some pay and seniority?"

Receptionist, speaking so bluntly, is that really a good idea?

This is Tang Renwang's business, which makes it Tang Rao's business. Speaking such truths in front of the boss's son, Tang Rao didn't know whether to praise the receptionist for her honesty or to fire her immediately so she wouldn't waste Dynasty's resources.

"So that's how it is. It seems Dynasty isn't as great as I thought. Since it's still early work hours, I'll look around the area, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Tang Rao used the beauty trap, just fluttering his eyelids at the receptionist, completely winning her over.

"Go ahead, you can go around at work, as long as you don't go to the chairman's office, you can go anywhere else you like."

The chairman's office? But that's exactly where Tang Rao wanted to go.

"Don't worry, I'm a very rule-abiding person. I definitely won't go to places you don't want me to go. Let's chat again later, young lady."

Next to the elevator, Tang Rao's figure vanished instantly.

The young lady thought she was seeing things, unable to catch a clear view of Tang Rao, not realizing everything just now was an illusion orchestrated by Tang Rao.

The elevator reaches over twenty floors, which would take some time, but for a place he could just easily leap to, he couldn't waste even a little bit of time.

Tang Renwang was busy to the point of exhaustion, with documents piled up like mountains beside him, often dealing with one heap only to move on to another. Even with all his efforts, it seemed those documents never decreased at all.

"Dad, you're still personally handling these?"

Tang Rao didn't knock, just burst into the office, sat on Tang Renwang's desk, crossed one leg over the other, casually picked up a file, flipped through it, and then put it back.

"Son, why are you back? Put that down and either go to work or continue your studies!"

Tang Renwang, like he was chasing away garbage, was desperate to quickly kick Tang Rao out, not wanting him to see the embarrassment of his predicament. But Tang Rao came today, sticking to Tang Renwang's desk like glue, having no intention of leaving.

"Dad, you're being a little unfair here. I came all the way back from abroad just to see you, and you don't even ask if I'm doing well or if I have enough money. Why do you want to rush me away as soon as you see me?"

Tang Renwang's face flushed with embarrassment.

"I'm busy day in and day out, with piles of work, and yet I still have to worry about you, you little rascal. Are you determined to work me to death before you're satisfied?"

Pulling the familial love card was something Tang Renwang had never tried before. He thought this untried method might work on Tang Rao, but to Tang Rao, the more Tang Renwang tried to hide, the more suspicious it felt.

"Actually, it's not like I want you to work yourself to death. I'm back to see how long it takes my dad to bring down a company."

He stopped beating around the bush, directly addressing the issue, catching Tang Renwang completely off guard.

"Son, you know everything already?"

He was surprised, yet not surprised.

Such a big issue, many people in the country knew. If Tang Rao hadn't caught wind of it while abroad, he wouldn't have come back so suddenly.

"Our company is at least a listed corporation. An issue this big is known both domestically and internationally; even on the Moon, they know, okay?"

To Tang Renwang, Tang Rao's words sounded like a joke: the Moon? He knew people were living there now, but it's not a place just anyone could go, let alone his son.

"Ever since the emergence of those cultivators, my company has been declining. There's no appropriate resources, and no one dares to cooperate with us. Who knows which deity we upset? Any company that collaborates with us ends up having bad luck. Eventually, we couldn't even land small deals. Now, aside from waiting for bankruptcy, there's nothing else I can do. I once thought of leaving the business to you so you'd be set for life, but now I realize I'm completely useless."

Tang Renwang hadn't cried even when the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. Talking about the painstakingly built empire for Tang Rao that crumbled, leaving his son without support, suddenly aged Tang Renwang by a few years, tears already soaking his eyes.

He was old, and there wasn't much time left to fight for Tang Rao. This was his only son. If he left nothing for him, what was he? He was completely useless.

"Who told you our company was collapsing? Why declare bankruptcy? It's not like we're out of money. If you don't have it, I do."

Bai Yushu had once given Tang Rao a card, which Tang Rao handed over to Tang Renwang intact, "The password is my mom's birthday. Money isn't an issue. Now, I need you to tell me, is Dynasty's current state all related to those cultivators?"

Anyone involved, Tang Rao would drag them out one by one, making sure they received the punishment they deserved.

Tang Renwang explained the involved individuals and their backgrounds to Tang Rao.

Just like with Bai Yushu, Tang Renwang didn't understand why he trusted Tang Rao so much. It was as if one look made him completely surrendered.

There were indeed quite a number of people eyeing Dynasty. By the time Tang Rao heard all of Tang Renwang's explanations, he realized how challenging it was for Tang Renwang to have persevered until now.

"Son, if you can't solve it, it's okay. Your parents might lose a company, but we're not going to be completely destitute. I've left you enough money to be comfortable in the future, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

To Tang Rao, these were useless words. The money was destined for Tang Renwang, as was the company. However, if the money Tang Renwang made could be used by Tang Rao to stockpile goods and send them to the Divine Realm to make big profits, that was also a pretty good suggestion.

"Don't worry, your son has been abroad for so many years, I know how to handle things and won't act recklessly."

With the information Tang Renwang provided, Tang Rao quickly listed several companies. Cultivators weren't the issue; the important part was the orchestrators behind them, the true hidden driving forces.
