Chapter 815: I Am Still the President

"You..." Tang Yue's face turned livid, but Tang Zhengguo, who was to the side, said, "That's enough, stop arguing, sit down."

Only then did Tang Yue sit down sullenly, a flash of malice crossing her eyes; she wanted to see just how much longer Tang Xinyi could remain smug.

"Xinyi, I have already spoken about the matter from just now; the Tang Clan's White-robed Onmyoji Group will be temporarily managed by your aunt from now on, and in the coming days, you must properly hand things over to her," Tang Zhengguo said indifferently.

"The reason?" Tang Xinyi asked.

"The reason is that the Tang Clan's performance is currently sliding, and you have offended our best partner, the Guo Group; if we don't have you step down now, the Tang Group's status will very likely be replaced by other companies. Is that reason sufficient?" Tang Yue sneered.

"Even if I step down, the Guo Clan will still cancel their cooperation with us. If you replace me, will the White-robed Onmyoji Group be able to walk out of its current predicament?" Tang Xinyi retorted.

"Of course. You step down, then marry into the Guo Clan; wouldn't everything be resolved?" Tang Yue said smugly.

"Why must it be me who marries? Why must it be me who marries after stepping down? I sacrifice my entire life to marry a man I don't like, just to fulfill your Tang Clan?" Tang Xinyi said coldly, "Why is the one being sacrificed me?"

"You... you have to marry into the Guo Clan, and you must step down; otherwise, the Tang Clan will end up surnamed Guo. Do you not understand this logic?" Tang Yue said angrily.

"Then the person you married is surnamed Wang; if the Tang Clan is handed over to you, how can you guarantee it won't end up surnamed Wang?" Tang Xinyi said coldly, "Besides, the Guo Family's goal is a marriage alliance, and their ultimate goal is to annex the Tang Clan. You can all see this, so why do you still want to do this?"

"Because the Tang Clan has no other way to go now, can't you see that?" Tang Zhengguo said angrily, "You must obey."

"Once the Guo Clan gets what they want, they will swallow the Tang Clan, so this is only an expedient measure. Our ultimate goal should be to think of other ways. Grandfather, for the sake of this expedient measure, are you going to ruin my whole life?" Tang Xinyi stared fixedly at Tang Zhengguo.

Tang Zhengguo was stunned; he did not dare to meet Tang Xinyi's gaze, and he sat down silently, lowering his head.

"The Guo Family is also one of the Six Noble Houses, and the young master of the Guo Family is not bad either; how are you being wronged by marrying over there?" Tang Yue said with biting sarcasm.

"Then why isn't it you who is marrying over there?" Tang Xinyi sneered, "Why isn't the person in the marriage alliance you?"

"What did you say? I am already married," Tang Yue said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Grandfather, when I took charge of White-robed Onmyoji, it was teetering in the wind and rain, the building on the verge of collapse," Tang Xinyi stood up slowly, "I was only sixteen years old back then. These years that I have been in charge of White-robed Onmyoji, although I dare not say I turned the situation around, at least I stabilized the White-robed Onmyoji Group."

"At the time, when you handed White-robed Onmyoji to me, I had no confidence, but you told me the worst result would be bankruptcy and the Tang Clan being kicked out of the ranks of the noble houses, and told me to let go and do it. How is it that you've changed your tune now?"

"The White-robed Onmyoji Group is the parent company of the Tang Clan; do you think a century-old noble house is something you can just discard?" Tang Yue sneered, "Now, do what you are told to do; where does all this nonsense come from? You must step down from the position of president of the White-robed Onmyoji Group, and you must marry into the Guo Clan. Do you understand?"

"What is the opinion of the shareholders?" Tang Xinyi turned her head to look at everyone.

"President Tang, the performance of White-robed Onmyoji is sliding severely now, and marketing and profits are declining year by year; we shareholders are also in a difficult position," one shareholder said.

"That's right, if you have a way to turn around the situation at White-robed Onmyoji, we could reconsider," another shareholder also said.

"Right, if I say now that I have a chance to turn around the situation at White-robed Onmyoji and make White-robed Onmyoji flourish, then can I continue to hold my position?" Tang Xinyi said, "Give me half a year, and I will turn around the current situation."

"Is the situation something you can turn around just by saying so? You are too confident in your own abilities, Tang Xinyi."

Tang Yue sneered and said, "Give it up. The situation is already laid out here; it will be much better if I take over the White-robed Onmyoji Group from now on."

"Aunt, do you not have any idea what you turned the Wang Group into when you took over your Wang family's industry?" Tang Xinyi sneered, "So you still want to wreak havoc on White-robed Onmyoji now?"

"Shut your mouth, enough with the nonsense. You have no way to turn around the situation at White-robed Onmyoji, so give up. Everyone, let's proceed with the resolution immediately; we are changing the person in charge of the White-robed Onmyoji Group," Tang Yue could not suppress the joy in her heart.

"Wait." Just at this moment, Chen Yu spoke up.

"Who are you? Why are you in the conference room? Where is security? Throw him out," Tang Yue was already impatient.

"I represent the He Group to discuss cooperation with the White-robed Onmyoji Group; are you sure you want to kick me out?" Chen Yu stared at Tang Yue.

"He Group? Which He Group?" Tang Zhengguo suddenly raised his head.

"How many He Groups are there in Shengjing? Naturally, it is the He Group of the Three Aristocratic Families," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"The He Group?" Tang Zhengguo and a crowd of shareholders and executives stood up one after another. How could they not know about the He Group of the Three Aristocratic Families of Shengjing? But does this young man really represent the He Group?

"Who are you? By what right do you represent the He Group?" Tang Yue looked at Chen Yu with suspicion, "Our White-robed Onmyoji Group needs a cooperation project worth over ten billion; do you have the power to make the He Group have such deep cooperation with us?"

"My name is Chen Yu, and the chairperson of the He Group, He Lingyun, is my mother," Chen Yu smiled, "In the future, I am the one who will take over the He Group. Do you think I have the power to cooperate with your White-robed Onmyoji?"

"You, you are the son of the He Group chairperson who has been missing for over twenty years?" Everyone in the room was in an uproar.

Recently, the situation in Shengjing has been changing rapidly; the power changes in the Ye Clan and the matter of the head of the He Group finding her son are topics of conversation for many people after tea and meals.

The White-robed Onmyoji Group is currently facing huge problems; if the He Group takes the initiative to cooperate with White-robed Onmyoji, then reviving the stagnant water that is White-robed Onmyoji would be as easy as turning over one's hand. By comparison, that little bit of cooperation from the Guo Family is negligible; after all, one is only a noble house, while the other represents the pinnacle of power and commerce—an Aristocratic Family.

"What can you use to prove that you are He Lingyun's son?" Tang Yue screamed, "How do I know if you are a fraud?"

"By the fact that I can provide an order worth over ten billion for the He Group. Look clearly, it is an order, not a cooperation," Chen Yu smiled indifferently, "Xinyi, check your email; the He Group's letter of intent for cooperation should have already been sent over."

"Moreover, the White-robed Onmyoji Group is currently short of funds in all aspects. The He Group is providing three billion in funds to the Tang Group free of charge, to be used as working capital for later cooperation; it should have already arrived in the account," Chen Yu said.
