Li Xue's words struck a painful chord within Tang Yiyi.
"I'm an illegitimate daughter, you know what Ye Fengxing said?"
"He said, an illegitimate daughter like me is not worthy of him at all. He said even if all the women in the world were dead, he wouldn't consider me."
"Now everyone looks down on me, how can I pursue my future?"
"It's all your fault!"
Tang Yiyi blamed Li Xue for everything.
"It's because you have a mother like this that I've lost everything. I hate you!"
...
After scolding Li Xue, Tang Yiyi, heartbroken, ran back to her room.
Li Xue felt a deep sense of unease.
But no matter what, she would not admit defeat.
If Ye Fengxing was out of the question, then there were other young masters.
Tang Yiyi was beautiful; she didn't believe she couldn't marry a wealthy man.
...
The Tang Corporation was declining day by day.
Shareholders withdrew their investments and fled, and the Tang Corporation's stock plummeted.
Tang Yu was distraught in the office, not even having time to eat properly.
The Tang Corporation could no longer even pay salaries and was facing bankruptcy.
Tang Yu's stomach condition flared up again, causing him to clench his teeth in pain, forcing himself to persevere.
Yet, even so, it couldn't change the fate of the Tang Corporation's bankruptcy.
His secretary entered, with an apologetic expression, and handed Tang Yu her resignation letter.
"Mr. Tang, my family depends on my salary to live. Please forgive me, I cannot continue to face this with the Tang Corporation."
The Tang Corporation was barely able to pay its salaries.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Tang Yu did not get angry at the secretary, but instead wrote her a letter of recommendation.
The secretary, holding the letter of recommendation, shed tears of shame and gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang."
Tang Yu said faintly, "I understand you. The Tang Corporation's situation today is also due to my own inadequacy. I don't blame you."
After the secretary left with teary eyes,
Tang Yu sat alone in his office, feeling a bleak future ahead.
What would tomorrow hold for the Tang Corporation?
He didn't know.
He had done his best.
It all seemed to be the Ye family's deliberate actions.
Not a single person was willing to extend a helping hand to the Tang family.
Everything was over.
Just as Tang Yu was sighing with worry, Tang Xiaomin suddenly arrived at the Tang Corporation.
This time, she was accompanied not only by Zhong Li but also by Lu Xing.
Upon seeing Tang Xiaomin, Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome."
He remembered how Tang Xiaomin had forced him to kneel in Tianshan.
At that moment, Tang Yu wished he could tear her apart.
Seeing Tang Yu's demeanor, Tang Xiaomin didn't bother with pleasantries.
"I'm here to save you. This is the acquisition proposal for the Tang Corporation."
Tang Xiaomin said, arrogantly placing a document in front of Tang Yu.
"Tang Yu, consider it carefully. Will you acquire the Tang Corporation, or will you wait for it to go bankrupt?"
At present, the Tang Corporation, aside from a mess, had nothing left.
Tang Yu was a businessman.
Regardless of any past grievances between him and Tang Xiaomin,
At this moment, he wouldn't delude himself and fail to recognize the situation.
Now, besides Tang Xiaomin, no one else was likely willing to acquire the Tang Corporation.
Tang Yu looked at Tang Xiaomin with resentment, then opened her acquisition proposal.
She offered a high price of one hundred million yuan to acquire the current Tang Corporation.
Honestly, even in its prime, the Tang Corporation was only valued at a little over a billion yuan.
The current Tang Corporation was not worth one hundred million.
This price was one Tang Yu could not refuse.
Tang Xiaomin stated, "A fixed price, one hundred million. Otherwise, you can wait for bankruptcy to be announced in a few days."
At this moment, Tang Yu had no choice.
"Let me discuss it with everyone when I get back. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaomin sneered.
"I thought you had some backbone and wouldn't agree to the acquisition."
She hadn't expected him to be so weak.
The Tang Corporation had been driven to this point step by step by Tang Xiaomin.
First, she had offended the Ye family, then she had publicized her father's affairs, completely tarnishing the Tang Corporation's reputation.
She was truly heartless.
Tang Yu's hatred for Tang Xiaomin reached its peak.
"As long as Mother wakes up, with her guilt towards you, she will surely leave you some shares in the Tang Corporation."
"What good does it do you to destroy the Tang Corporation now?"
"Tang Xiaomin, if you were truly smart, you would know that as long as you bear the surname Tang, the Tang family is your reliance."
Tang Yu's words only fueled Tang Xiaomin's anger.
"Is that so?"
"When the Tang family was prosperous, they abandoned me. In the past decade, have I ever enjoyed any benefits from the Tang family?"
"Mom and Dad were deceived, and you can't get over this hurdle? Is your mind so narrow?" Tang Yu said.
What a narrow-minded remark.
When accusing others, did he ever consider what kind of person he was?
Tang Xiaomin was too lazy to argue further with Tang Yu.
"Regardless of my mindset, I'm only giving you one day. After tomorrow, it won't be one hundred million anymore."
"I will not naively expect your charity and pity. I will openly claim the Tang Corporation as my own."
"Don't worry, the Tang Corporation will still be called the Tang Corporation. I will not change the name."
Under Tang Yu's resentful gaze, Tang Xiaomin departed.
Tang Yu, truly helpless, could not save the Tang Corporation.
That evening, outside Zhang Meiyu's hospital room, Tang Xiaomin's acquisition of the Tang Corporation was announced to everyone.
"Tang Xiaomin has offered one hundred million yuan to acquire the Tang Corporation. What do you all think?"
Apart from Tang Yu, Tang Ye and the other two had their own businesses.
With their capabilities, they could earn some money.
However, saving the Tang Corporation was truly beyond their reach.
Tang Xu immediately asked, "Is she acquiring the Tang Corporation under the name of Xianfu Group?"
Tang Yu shook his head.
"She is acquiring the Tang Corporation in her own name, not through Xianfu Group."
"Where did she get the money?" Tang Yan asked curiously.
"Is the President Yan from Xianfu Group really willing to give her so much money?"
...
If it wasn't for the person surnamed Yan giving her money, then how did Tang Xiaomin have one hundred million?
It was only at this moment that the Tang family members suddenly understood the unusual significance of the man named Yan Jue to Tang Xiaomin.
One hundred million. He was funding Tang Xiaomin's acquisition of the Tang Corporation.
This was too extravagant.
Regardless, it was best that Tang Xiaomin was willing to take over the mess of the Tang Corporation.
If Zhang Meiyu woke up, with the Tang Corporation in Tang Xiaomin's hands, they could also wash their hands of the matter.
"If she's willing to acquire it, let her have it. With the Tang Corporation in her hands, she won't continue to ruin it," Tang Zhongcheng said.
The Tang Corporation, which he had managed for over twenty years, was being acquired by his own daughter.
This was a rather helpless situation.
Ultimately, the Tang family father and son reached a consensus and agreed to Tang Xiaomin's acquisition of the Tang Corporation.
The next day.
Tang Xiaomin, accompanied by a team of lawyers and Lu Xing, arrived at the Tang Corporation to complete the acquisition.
During the final signing stage,
Tang Yu's hand, holding the pen, trembled uncontrollably, hesitant and indecisive.
