Chapter 381: Scared?

"Last time I just said a few words about that pretty boy, and Tang Zong beat my son half to death. If he continues to spread rumors like this, I think the entire Tang Group will be destroyed by him!"

"It's useless for you to complain now. Let's figure out what's going on over there first."

The Great Elder waved his hand to stop Tang Jihuai's complaints and then looked at Du Zhongyan: "You tell Jiang Yan to let that kid Xu Tian answer the phone."

Du Zhongyan immediately conveyed the Great Elder's meaning to Jiang Yan on the other end of the phone, but a moment later his face became even uglier.

"What's going on?" The Great Elder asked in a deep voice.

"This... Great Elder... that kid refuses to answer the phone..."

As soon as Du Zhongyan's voice fell, bursts of noise erupted in the conference room.

"This kid's courage is getting bigger and bigger now, actually daring not to answer the Great Elder's phone!"

"Hmph! He knows how to put on airs. Relying on Tang Zong's protection, does he really think he is a genuine Tang family son-in-law!"

Tang Jihuai said coldly: "Since he doesn't answer the phone, then you just let Jiang Yan turn on the video call directly. Then even if he wants not to answer, he won't be able to!"

Du Zhongyan did so immediately and conveyed Tang Jihuai's order to Jiang Yan on the other end of the phone.

Meanwhile, in Linglong Zhai, Jiang Yan immediately turned on the video call mode and aimed the phone lens directly at Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was just about to sign the check to pay when he suddenly heard a roar from behind.

"Xu Tian!"

After Xu Tian heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Jiang Yan holding a phone, and the video screen on the phone screen appeared with the clan leaders and high-level officials of the Tang family.

Jiang Yan looked at Xu Tian and sneered, feeling triumphant in his heart.

Even if Xu Tian is a favorite by Tang Bingyan's side, so what? He offended the clan leaders of the Tang family and the high-level officials of the Tang Group, and he won't have a good ending either.

And Chen Sanping saw that the high-level officials of the Tang Group wanted to talk to Xu Tian personally, and also knew that Xu Tian's behavior must have angered them, so he also stood on the side gloating and intending to watch the show.

Facing the furious Tang family high-level officials, Xu Tian just smiled faintly and asked: "Is your work usually so idle? So many high-level officials deliberately gathered together just to have a video call with me?"

"Xu Tian! Do you know you've caused a big disaster!" Du Zhongyan took the lead.

"Mr. Gu had already negotiated with Boss Chen Sanping of Linglong Zhai before that our Tang Group would buy that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, but you, a greenhorn who knows nothing, actually ruined the deal!"

"Do you know how important that set of blue-and-white porcelain is? Do you know how much influence your self-assertion has on our group?"

Du Zhongyan is a high-level official of the group and also has a say in the company. Therefore, even if Xu Tian is a favorite by Tang Bingyan's side, he had to come forward to stop him for the sake of the company's interests.

"Bingyan handed the task of coming to Y Country this time to me because she trusts all my decisions. If you feel unconvinced, or feel that I am not competent for this position and want to replace me, you can go directly to her to complain."

"And my task this time is to bring back a treasure to the Tang family. Before Bingyan revokes my title as the person in charge, no one else will influence my decision."

"You!" Du Zhongyan was angered by him: "Lawless! Simply lawless!"

"Hehe, I said long ago, since Tang Zong feels that this task is not important, then we don't need to waste our breath. Anyway, the Tang family is wealthy, and this little money can still be compensated. Just treat it as charity," Tang Jihuai said sarcastically.

Xu Tian's gaze shifted from Du Zhongyan to Tang Jihuai, and he said indifferently: "Sixth Elder, you are also having a meeting at the company. I thought you were busy taking care of your son during this time and probably didn't have time to come to the company."

This sentence of Xu Tian's can be said to have poked Tang Jihuai's sore spot. He immediately slapped the table fiercely and shouted at Xu Tian: "Xu Tian! Do you really think you can act recklessly relying on Tang Bingyan's indulgence?"

"The absurd things you did in Pawa have already been known by our group's high-level officials. This task is very important to our group. Now because you ruined the transaction, it will cause very serious losses to the group. How are you going to bear this?"

"Xu Tian, I order you to apologize to Boss Chen immediately and see if there is any room for maneuver. Otherwise, all the losses of the group this time will be borne by you alone!"

"When you return from Y Country, even if Tang Zong pleads for you, the members of the Tang family's Elder Council will not tolerate someone like you continuing to stay in the Tang family!"

Although Tang Jihuai's words were fierce, they were exactly what the other elders and high-level officials of the Tang family thought in their hearts.

So as soon as his voice fell, the Great Elder, who had always been in charge of the Tang family's discipline, said: "Xu Tian, you are too excessive this time. The company sent you to Pawa because they trust you, but you are arrogant and ruined the transaction with Boss Chen. If you continue to go your own way, we can only act according to the rules."

"Are you so sure that I ruined the matter?" Xu Tian still said without changing his face: "I only know that my task in coming to Pawa this time is to bring back an antique that is heavy enough to be the treasure of the Jiangcheng Museum, and no one stipulated that this antique must be the set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain in Boss Chen's hands, and..."

"You still dare to quibble now!" Tang Jihuai interrupted Xu Tian rudely: "Do you think you can find cultural relics more precious than Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain? How is this possible?"

"If you think it's impossible, then why don't we make a bet," Xu Tian's tone carried a bit of provocation: "Of course, the premise is that Sixth Elder and you all dare to bet with me."

"What do you want to bet?" Du Zhongyan couldn't hold back first.

"If I return empty-handed this time and don't bring back any antiques that can serve as the treasure of the Jiangcheng Museum, then I lose, and I am willing to unconditionally accept any disposal from you."

"On the contrary, if I can bring back antiques more valuable than that set of Song dynasty porcelain, then you lose, and you must apologize to me for your rude behavior just now and admit that you are short-sighted."

"Let us apologize to you, what a big tone!" Tang Jihuai said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to let us elders apologize to you?"

"Sixth Elder, you said that, does it mean you don't have the confidence to win me, so you are scared?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows.

"Nonsense!" Tang Jihuai was truly angered: "How could I be scared? Since you want to seek death, then we will fulfill you. If you lose, get out of the company immediately and don't participate in any decisions of the group in the future!" ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
