Chapter 554: 554 Mother-daughter confrontation
Qian Yuling's brows furrowed slightly. She had originally wanted to enlist the help of her family, but she hadn't expected the negotiations to fall apart.
"Is there no chance at all?" Qian Yuling asked one last time. Clearly, she hadn't expected her brother to say that. Even the head of the family couldn't be so heartless.
"Sorry, Yuling, this is a dangerous situation. I can't let the Qian family get dragged into it. Perhaps you could try to negotiate with the Shanxing Group. Since it's a scam, it can be resolved through legal means." Qian Ben offered a suggestion, the only one he could offer at the moment.
Money is good, but you have to earn it and spend it. It's best to avoid money that's not easy to earn. Other companies might be fine, but the Shanxing Group isn't so easy to deal with. While it's a multinational corporation, that Korean company does have considerable capital.
"You're as cautious and unyielding as ever. Since you don't need it, so be it." Qian Yuling snorted, standing up and preparing to leave the office. "You could go to the Tong family. Perhaps they can help you," Qian Ben said in a calm, tentative tone.
"I'd rather have another man stalk me than let a dying old man abuse me. How disgusting!" Qian Yuling snorted. If she really had to choose a man, wouldn't she choose a young man like Zhao An? An old cow licking tender grass might make her happy for a while.
After leaving the Qian family, Qian Yuling appeared carefree, but in reality, she harbored a deep sorrow. After all, 150 billion yuan was not something anyone could afford. No woman was worth that much. What was the concept of 150 billion yuan? He could keep hundreds of beauties from the age of twenty—no, sixteen—to the age of fifty.
In front of a truly powerful family, playing with women was nothing more than a cheap hobby. Playing with women was fine, but making it a primary occupation was a bit perverse and a sign of a lack of ambition. Such behavior was despicable.
Qian Yuling naturally knew this. Not everyone was like Zhao An. Even if there were scions of wealthy families who enjoyed playing with women, it was just for fun; don't take it seriously.
Don't assume it's easy to break into a wealthy family. In the eyes of the rich, these poor people are nothing more than playthings.
Putting out her cigarette, Qian Yuling narrowed her eyes. She didn't want to rely on Zhao An; that would be the ultimate incompetence.
Thinking of a solution, Qian Yuling returned to the industrial park she was responsible for and began inventorying and transferring some assets. Since she couldn't find a replacement, she'd just leave this mess to Shanxing Group. She'd move everything out that wasn't covered in the contract. At worst, she could make a comeback and leave this mess to the Bangzi.
Zhao An had no ability to pry into Qian Yuling's thoughts. If he had, he wouldn't have been discouraged. Instead, he would have given her a thumbs-up.
No one had the courage to throw away these billions of assets at will. Qian Yuling was the legal representative of the Southern Industrial Zone. She was responsible until the handover took place, and if things didn't go smoothly, she would be the target.
This kind of situation would be frustrating for anyone, watching helplessly as assets were being ripped off right before their eyes.
In another factory, people were working overtime to manufacture electric scooters. These simple and convenient scooters were incredibly useful, especially for those living in the city. They were significantly cheaper than motorcycles, easy to charge, and even saved on gasoline.
This new technology could be patented by applying for patents, which could earn special subsidies.
Tang Yin had been keeping tabs on the factory lately. She and her mother, Qian Yuling, had a difficult relationship, but they both shared a common trait: they didn't want to beg or rely on others, preferring to rely on themselves rather than take shortcuts.
While researching improved battery technology, Tang Yin received a call. Glancing at the screen, it was her mother who had answered the call.
After waiting for a while, Tang Yin finally answered the call. "What's up?"
"Where are you? I need to talk to you about something." Qian Yuling's words were brief, unconcerned with her daughter's cold tone.
"I have nothing to say to you." Tang Yin's voice was tinged with coldness. She truly had nothing to say to her mother. This was the mother who had watched her fall into the fire pit with indifference. From that moment on, she no longer had any good feelings towards Qian Yuling.
"Regarding the company, the Tang family's collapse is inevitable, and we need to secure something to ensure our future. Don't play dumb with me. I know you've been in contact with Zhao An. If you don't want to associate with the Shanxing Group members, there's nothing else you can do except beg him. I won't persuade you. At least if you marry him, you'll be the legal wife, and with some tricks, you can live a comfortable and comfortable life. If you follow Zhao An, you'll just be a mistress. You choose your own path, so take whatever you want. Just don't regret it. Have you ever seen a mother ask her daughter to be a mistress?" Qian Yuling's voice was still cold, but this time she stated her reasoning.
Tang Yin's eyes flickered, and she took a deep breath. "I'm at the factory now. Come over."
Fifteen minutes later, Qian Yuling arrived at the electric scooter factory and noticed something different the moment she entered. Most of the lifting and moving work was done manually, while the situation in the workshop wasn't visible, but there were still traces of machinery.
Tang Yin sat in her office. She was the technical supervisor. This was Tang Bing's factory, and production was almost 24/7. Qian Yuling walked into the office in ten-centimeter high heels and immediately sat down in a chair, facing Tang Yin. She pulled out a pack of cigarettes. She placed one in front of Tang Yin, lit it, and took a deep breath. "I plan to leave all my assets to Shanxing Group. I'll take whatever I can, so I can make a comeback later."
Tang Yin sniffed and could smell the aroma of herbs. "You have these cigarettes, which proves you've already partnered with Zhao An. Why are you still looking for me?"
Qian Yuling scoffed. "He wants to pursue me, but he wants to have sex with me. I'm not that superficial. Do you think it's appropriate for me to share a man with you?"
