Chapter 23 - Unhappiness DismissedTang Wannian said angrily: "Your illness has not been completely cured, so he hit Li Peng Tao and told me to pay him a million per year. Li Pengtao was a cripple now, all right? When he retires, he"ll need at least 20 million. This time, he wants me to donate another 100 million.
Tang Wannian pointed to the door and said arrogantly: "Jiang Tian, I"ve said it all, get out of here!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian"s eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a bit of anger, he stood up and said:
"I got the Tang Clan to help me. It"s equivalent to having you spend ten million. But what I want to give to the Tang Clan is not something that a mere ten million can buy."
"What did you give the Tang Clan that is worth ten million?" Tang Wannian was startled, then laughed with disdain, and ridiculed.
Jiang Tian no longer bothered with him as he stood there with his hands behind his back and said, "Haha, Elder Tang and I were quite fated to meet. I originally wanted to bestow upon your Tang Family some good fortune and help you get out of this calamity, but you guys do not know how to cherish it.
"Master Jiang, don"t be angry, it"s my fault, it"s my fault that my discipline is weak! Please don"t go! "
Elder Tang trembled as he stood up, pulling at Jiang Tian"s sleeves as he begged.
"Elder Tang, this is a body tempering cultivation technique, it can be considered as repaying the Tang Clan"s kindness."
Jiang Tian placed a handwritten book on the tea table and lightly said:"But after this, the Tang Clan and I will owe each other nothing!" Tang Wannian, if you continue to speak such arrogant words, don"t blame me for getting nasty! "
"Tsk …"
Tang Wannian wanted to retort back, but he was stopped by Elder Tang who knocked him with his cane a few times, so he could only remain silent.
"Within a month, this Wolong Villa will be filled with a ghastly aura, and there will be endless b.l.o.o.d.y incidents. If you don"t want to cause trouble, then close the door as soon as possible!"
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he flung his sleeves and quickly walked out of the Wyrm Villa.With Tang Linglong"s support, Elder Tang quickly chased after him, but Jiang Tian had already disappeared.
Returning back to the hall, Elder Tang was so angry that his entire body was trembling, he pointed at Tang Wannian and said: "Tang Wannian, you evil spirit, you have eyes but are unable to see what is really like, you are trying to destroy the Tang Family!"
At this time, Jiang Tian and Tang Wannian were like fire and water, all of his efforts to rope them in was completely in vain.
"Dad, you"re really too old and muddleheaded. He"s so young, what kind of ability would he have? You"ve been tricked by him!"Tang Wannian picked up the book left behind by Jiang Tian, looking down on it with disdain, and was about to tear it into pieces: "What kind of trash is this!"
"What do you want?"
Elder Tang s.n.a.t.c.hed it over and opened it. On the t.i.tle page, there were a few large words: "Righteous Body Forging Technique".
Elder Tang carefully looked through it, but his body suddenly trembled. His face was filled with shock as he clapped his hands and praised:"This cultivation technique is countless times more amazing than our Tang Clan"s cultivation technique!" It is even more tyrannical than a normal ancient martial arts technique! "
The cultivation technique that Tang Linglong cultivated was actually still within the realm of traditional national techniques. It was just that Elder Tang was the one who had mastered the national techniques of Southern Sect, and had fused the Wing Chun, Hong Fist, and Cai Li Fu Fist into one.
However, the cultivation technique that Jiang Tian had given him had evolved from the cultivation world"s "Iron Fist Sect" cultivation technique and had been modified.In the cultivation world, the Iron Fist Sect might not be the best sect, but in the body forging stage, it was better to not step out of the box and become one on its own. It was many times more wonderful than ordinary ancient martial arts.
"Grandfather, is it really that powerful?"
Tang Linglong curiously asked on the side, while Tang Wannian curled his lips, looking down on them."This cultivation technique can help you reach the iron body realm, or even generate inner strength, and can suppress transformational master, or even any lower than that!" Elder Tang said solemnly.
"Then I have to hurry up and cultivate!" Tang Linglong said excitedly.
Elder Tang sighed and said with regret and helplessness:"It"s a pity that this unfilial son of your uncle has eyes that are blind. He repeatedly insulted Master Jiang, provoking him to leave. Otherwise, with a person like him as our Tang Clan"s guest elder, the Tang Clan would definitely be able to live on for a hundred years without collapsing!"
On Monday, the moment Zhao Xue Qing went to work, she was called over by Wei Fang, the chairman.
Although Wei Fang was half old Lady Xu, one could still tell from the corner of her eyes that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.She was well-kept. She was well-dressed and dressed in a small black Prada suit. She wore black high-heeled shoes and her black hair was tied up in a high bun. She looked like an intelligent and capable woman.
Wei Fang had previously worked as a host at the Linzhou Television Station. Ten years ago, he had gone to the ocean to do business, and in a short ten years, she had managed to turn a small pharmacy in the Zhao Family into a large pharmaceutical company with a.s.sets worth over a hundred million."Auntie …" Zhao Xue Qing asked weakly.
Although he had a good relationship with Zhao Qianru, Zhao Xue Qing was always a little afraid of this tough stepmother.
"I heard that Jiang Tian beat up Li Pengtao? It"s too cruel! " Wei Fang said as he furrowed his brows."Auntie, this matter can"t be blamed on Jiang Tian …"
Zhao Xue Qing wanted to say something but hesitated: "It was Li Peng Tao who first molested me, and it just so happened that Jiang Tian saw him before he made his move."
"Even if Li Pengtao is dishonest, there"s still the law. Your dad and I will make the decision for you!"
Wei Fang took a sip of the fragrant blue mountain coffee and said with a look of disgust:
"But what"s he doing beating people up like this!?" Is this something a normal person would do? ""Didn"t Boss Li want to investigate Jiang Tian"s legal responsibilities?" Zhao Xue Qing"s heart jumped, secretly worrying.
"Not really. Director Li is still very generous. However, he has resigned and is no longer working for our company! "
Wei Fang"s tone was light, but she was also very suspicious in her heart.
She couldn"t understand why Li Peng Tao and his wife let Jiang Tian go so easily. Could it be that they were afraid of disgracing Jiang Tian if news of this spread?
"Oh …" Zhao Xue Qing heaved a long sigh of relief, and her heart that was hanging in the air finally dropped.
"It"s just that, Qing Er, you really plan to continue living like this with Jiang Tian, this person doesn"t know how to learn, and he"s also a hedonist who is willful. The key thing is, he"s domestic violence, he"s a complete sc.u.mbag!"
Wei Fang was like a loving mother as she advised gently: "You are just a flower in the Lin Province, with both good looks and talent, with so many fine youths admiring you and chasing after you, why would you hang yourself on a crooked tree?""Auntie!"
Zhao Xue Qing cried out involuntarily and interrupted Wei Fang"s speech. Her face flushed red, she lowered her head and said:"Auntie, I know you"re saying this for my own good. But should we not give a man a chance, if he is willing to make a comeback? Jiang Tian... He seems to be showing signs of getting better. "
"You are just too kind and simple. Marriage is not inferior to being born a second time to a woman!"
Wei Fang shook her head and sighed:
"His brain is permanently damaged, how can it be good! "He"s still getting better. He"s so crazy, seriously injuring someone and crippling them. If Old Li were to pursue the matter, he"s already in the police station!""He did it to protect me after all …" Zhao Xue Qing said.
"Sigh, back then I was the same as you, insisting to marry your father for love, and your father even brought you along!"
Wei Fang"s eyes flashed with a trace of gentleness, as if she was thinking of a distant past. She sighed lightly: "Back then, my family did not look favorably upon the future of your father and I. That"s why I worked so hard to prove myself to the family! But in the end, it was just a hundred million yuan worth of wealth. Your father is still not worthy of my family"s attention! "
She laughed bitterly and said, "Xue Qing, Auntie reminds you, sometimes choosing is more important than effort. You must choose the right person!"
"Auntie, I understand." Zhao Xue Qing nodded his head, but he did not have any intention to change his mind.
Wei Fang knew that her persuasion had not worked, but she wasn"t in a hurry either, and said with a faint smile:
"Oh right, Liu w.a.n.gfeng of the Liu Family wants to talk about cooperation with me tomorrow night, but I"m too busy, please go in my place!""Ah?" He … Auntie, can you please change someone else? " Zhao Xue Qing looked troubled.
Liu w.a.n.gfeng, the first-tier young master of the Lin Province, his status was second only to the Tang Clan"s Tang Jianfeng and his family members, who were the top young masters.
The Mercenary Group of the Liu Family was ranked among the top ten in the country, and had ten billion yuan in a.s.sets.
In the past, Liu w.a.n.gfeng had pursued him time and time again, but he didn"t like his personality and tactfully rejected him.
"Xue Qing, the research and development of the muscle nourishing ointment that you are in charge of has stalled, the board of directors had long wanted to remove your position of Division Minister, even if Jiang Tian beat someone up he would still be expelled. If you don"t get any results, how can I protect you? "
Wei Fang hugged her shoulders, and said while frowning.
"Alright, I"ll go!" Zhao Xue Qing"s body trembled, and could only agree, feeling a wave of bitterness in her heart.
He and Jiang Tian had no deposits at all. If they wanted to lose their jobs, they would have to drink the wind.This afternoon, Jiang Tian received a call from his university cla.s.smate, Yuan Yuan.
"There"s really some fate between him and this Di Hao Club!"
Jiang Tian thought, he picked up the phone and called Zhao Xue Qing, then quickly left the office.The money he had gotten from Zhao Xue Qing during the weekend had already been completely spent, so Jiang Tian could only walk over.
The students had already arrived at a private room. Jiang Tian arrived a little late.The Nine Five Supreme Division box was extremely luxurious, and it was extremely expensive.
The room fees alone amounted to 50,000. In 2007, it was equivalent to half a year"s salary for an ordinary white-collar worker.
Hou Tianlai, who was the sponsor of the gathering, was sitting in the middle and boasting about his history of entrepreneurship to his cla.s.smates. Yuan Yuan was at the side fiddling with the diamond ring on her finger, looking very pleased with herself.
"It hasn"t been easy all these years …"
Hou Tianlai let out a long sigh, but the complacency at the corner of his eyes couldn"t be hidden.
"Director Hou, just be content with what you have!""That"s right. A mansion, a BMW, a beautiful girlfriend, everything. We"re all envious and jealous!"
The students flattered one after another.
Liu Yating and a few female students were sitting in a corner chatting.
"Oh, look who"s here, our young master Jiang!" Hou Tianlai saw Jiang Tian coming in at first glance and asked in a strange tone.
Everyone looked over.Simple and even shabby shirts, black trousers and dirty old shoes. At first glance, he looked like a laborer.
"Jiang Tian!"
"It"s really Jiang Tian!"
"Heavens! That year, young master Jiang was such a famous person. How did he end up in such a terrible situation?"
Many people exclaimed in admiration, and their hearts were filled with ridicule.
Back then, Jiang Tian was an influential figure in the Jinling University, and his sight was high at the top. These old cla.s.smates of his were mostly unhappy with him, but now that they saw him in such dire straits, they naturally added insult to injury.Liu Yating also looked at Jiang Tian, dumbstruck.
That young man had come, but he no longer had the wealth and heroic spirit that he once had. Instead, he had … Dark and gloomy.
What had he experienced in the past few years? Why was it that his eyes seemed as if they had gone through the vicissitudes of life, as if there were no waves at all?
