Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 171 - 172: The Visiting Li Cong!
Tang Yuxiang wore a sneer, echoing Tang Chuchu’s sentiments. This time, even Old Master Tang remained tight-lipped. They were right.
"Alright, let the banquet begin." Old Master Tang looked at Qin Long and let out a helpless sigh.
Even though Qin Long is my savior, I can’t bring myself to accept him. After all, what I truly want is the glory of the Tang Family. As long as the family’s former peak glory can be restored, I don’t care how it’s achieved. But Qin Long can’t bring me that kind of glory. Therefore, in my heart, I still value Wang Ming more.
Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu wore triumphant smirks. Seeing their grandfather’s tacit consent, they felt incredibly proud.
DING-DONG!
Just then, the doorbell rang. A guard hurried over. "Old Master, we have a visitor."
Old Master Tang was taken aback. He was sure he hadn’t invited any outsiders. "Who is it?"
"The visitor said his name was Li Cong," the guard recalled.
A murmur of excitement went through the crowd. "Li Cong? You mean *President* Li Cong?"
"The patriarch of the Li Family!"
"That must be him! The Li Family has developed rapidly in recent years, growing from a small clan worth tens of millions to an enterprise with assets over a billion. Their network and connections are very impressive."
"Even if they can’t compare to Young Master Wang, they’re still a renowned presence in Jiangzhong!"
Hearing this, the Tang Family members lit up with joy, and Old Master Tang immediately instructed the butler to invite the guest in.
Soon, a man in his sixties walked slowly into the old courtyard, followed by several guards. It was none other than Li Min’s grandfather, Li Cong.
"Old Master Tang, please forgive my uninvited visit!" Li Cong said, cupping his fists respectfully as he approached.
"Haha, Mr. Li, your presence brightens our humble abode," Old Master Tang greeted with a beaming smile. "We were just about to begin the banquet. Your timing couldn’t be better!"
In truth, the Li Family was still slightly weaker than the Tang Family. However, it’s always a pleasure to welcome friends from afar, and Old Master Tang certainly wouldn’t snub President Li.
"Old Master, you’re too kind," Li Cong replied. "I’ve come today hoping to enter into a partnership with the Tang Family."
He gestured to an assistant, who brought out a tablet displaying an agreement. The Tang family members were all taken aback.
What in the world? Another business deal delivered right to our doorstep? But we’ve never had any dealings with the Li Family before. Why would they take the initiative to propose a partnership?
"Old Master, please take a look. If there are no issues, a signature is all that’s needed," Li Cong said, holding the tablet with both hands and respectfully offering it to Old Master Tang.
The old man took a serious look and was instantly startled.
This agreement... it’s almost as significant as the major order from the Yaolong Group! They’re just handing the Tang Family a massive profit. What in the world is going on?
Old Master Tang frowned, lost in thought. Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu immediately crowded around to look at the agreement. They too were incredibly shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Could this be another one of Wang Ming’s secret moves to benefit the Tang Family?
"Mr. Li, what is the meaning of this?" Old Master Tang asked, looking at Li Cong with a puzzled expression.
"Old Master, it is because your Tang Family is under the protection of a revered expert," Li Cong said with an air of nonchalance.
After all, this matter can’t be openly discussed; it has to be understood without being explicitly stated. Otherwise, it won’t achieve the desired effect. I wouldn’t dare offend a powerhouse like Qin Long!
"Protected by a revered expert..." Old Master Tang was completely baffled. Is this Wang Ming’s doing again?
"Old Master, please sign the agreement quickly," Li Cong urged with a smile, glancing at Qin Long, who was busy feasting.
Thinking it must have been Wang Ming’s instructions, Old Master Tang nodded with a smile. "Alright, then. Who among you is willing to take charge of this joint project with the Li Family?" he asked, scanning the room.
"Grandpa, I’ll take charge!" Tang Yuxiang chimed in with a smirk, moving to sit beside the tablet. I’ve already seen the agreement—it’s a huge profit. Who wouldn’t want a piece of that pie? If I become the person in charge, I’ll surely make a fortune once the project is completed. Plus, I can show off in front of the rest of the family.
"Alright then," the old master said, ready to make it official. "Since everyone supports Yuxiang so much, I’ll grant him full authority to..."
As he was about to make the final decision, an inopportune voice cut in.
"I object."
It was Qin Long, who had just wiped his mouth. In an instant, all eyes converged on him. Even Tang Xuewu nudged him, urging him to be quiet. But Qin Long paid her no mind.
"Object my ass! You’re not even a member of the Tang Family! Shut the hell up!" Tang Yuxiang snarled, glaring at Qin Long through clenched teeth.
"Exactly! What right does an outsider have to meddle in the Tang Family’s affairs?" Tang Chuchu sneered. "Just looking for trouble!"
Old Master Tang frowned slightly before looking at Qin Long with a curious expression. "Why do you object?"
A faint smile touched Qin Long’s lips. He looked at Tang Xuewu and said, "I think Xuewu is more capable and talented than he is."
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
"Qin Long, don’t push your luck!" Tang Yuxiang protested, slamming his hand on the table and shooting to his feet. "Tang Xuewu is already in charge of the big order from the Yaolong Group! Do you really want to monopolize this partnership too? Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Qin Long completely ignored him and turned to Li Cong. "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
A cold sweat broke out on Li Cong’s back. "I think Miss Xuewu is the most suitable!" he immediately declared. "As the saying goes, the able should do more. This agreement absolutely must be signed by Miss Xuewu."
How could he possibly dare to offend a formidable figure like Qin Long?
"Qin Long, you motherfucker!" Tang Yuxiang was so furious his eyes looked like they might pop out of their sockets, his fists clenched tightly. Has Qin Long lost his mind? And has Li Cong gone mad along with him? He actually agreed to the words of a cripple!
"Mr. Li, Xuewu has actually been quite busy lately. Perhaps it would be better to let Yuxiang..." Old Master Tang began, still wanting to openly favor Tang Yuxiang.
However, Li Cong, knowing Qin Long’s true intentions, would never go against them. "Old Master, I’ve made myself perfectly clear," he said, his tone firm and leaving no room for doubt. "This agreement must be signed by Miss Tang Xuewu."
Tang Xuewu herself still looked bewildered, her pretty face etched with confusion. She had never intended to compete with Tang Yuxiang for this project. Yet, the contract seemed to have singled her out, insisting on her signature. This feels like a true windfall from heaven!
Her beautiful eyes subconsciously flickered toward Qin Long. He was perfectly composed, as if everything was proceeding exactly as he had planned.
This must be Qin Long’s doing behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would they be so insistent on me?
Old Master Tang glanced at Qin Long, then turned back to Li Cong with suspicion in his eyes. "Mr. Li, was it Young Master Wang Ming who asked your Li Family to support the Tang Family?"
"Young Master Wang? Who might that be?"
