Chapter 326: Giving Way
“Although the entire Tang family is led by Big Brother, if we’re the only ones with one yuan for this year’s year-end bonus, do you think Big Brother will be able to convince the public? Even if everyone doesn’t say it out loud, they will definitely have complaints in secret. If Big Brother can discern the pros and cons, you should do as I say!”
The old master was even more displeased when he heard the word ‘brother’ being used repeatedly.?If he wants money, does he have to beat around the bush and bring so many people with him? Coupled with this tone of giving orders, those who don’t know better will probably think that my younger brother is the head of the family! I, Tang Boyan, have dedicated my entire life to this family, but this person actually wants to snatch it away just like that? What kind of daydream is this?!
How can I let him have his way?
“… I’ve already thought of this. Therefore, in order to set an example, or to let everyone feel better, my year-end bonus this year is only one yuan!”
The moment he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent!
Who didn’t know that the Tang brothers were businessmen who only cared about profits? The word ‘benefits’ was in their DNA. It wasn’t that they didn’t think that the family head would have a million ways to refute, but they didn’t expect Tang Boyan to say this! It was really unbelievable! The head of the Tang family received such a small year-end bonus and it was the same remuneration as them. If word got out, they would be ashamed!
However, his younger brother quickly recovered from his initial shock and pestered him. “Do you think I’ll believe you? You said that you’ll only take one yuan but even if you take more, we won’t know. After all, you’re the one holding the account book! You can change the numbers at will! Aren’t you just fooling us by saying this?”
When the others heard this, they immediately reacted. They knew it. Why would the old master do such a thing? It turned out that he was just saying it to make them feel at ease. As expected of the old master who had been in the business world for many years. They were almost deceived!
Before they could echo one another in unison, the old master said solemnly, “I can share the account book in real time. If I change a decimal point, everyone here will discover it! If anyone sees with their own eyes that I took an extra cent, they can just say it! I’ll admit defeat…”
“Heh, what’s the use of saying it? You’re the head of the Tang family. Isn’t it very easy to make someone disappear? As your younger brother, I know very well what you’re thinking! You’re a wily old fox. Why are you playing with me?”
His younger brother interrupted his long speech without any hesitation. The others might have shown some respect on account that the old master was the family head of the main family. But he was the family head of the branch family and the person closest to the position of the family head! How could he be like those timid people?
He glanced at them disdainfully from the corner of his eye and thought to himself,?Since you don’t want to stick your neck out, just obediently stay on my side and drag Tang Boyan down!
Immediately after, he threw a provocative look at Tang Boyan. He wanted to force the other party into a corner! Only then would those people recognize that Tang Boyan was incompetent and that his younger brother was even more powerful than his elder brother! He felt that if their father had given him this position back then, the Tang family wouldn’t be facing the current situation.
It was obvious that he was quite confident in his abilities.
However, as the head of the family, Tang Boyan knew very well that without his protection all these years, the Tang family wouldn’t have survived for so many years. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Lu Ming, who had caused him trouble many times. That face gradually attached itself to his younger brother’s face. The two faces merged, causing him to feel more and more disgusted!
They are indeed birds of a feather!
“Are you so eager to replace me? I haven’t even finished speaking, but you’re already putting on a one-man-show here! Don’t forget, who did you rely on to survive until now? The previous family head had long turned to dust. With no one to protect you, do you think it’s difficult for me to deal with you?
If you don’t want to reunite with Father and Mother, you should know when to stop and shut up! Otherwise, I don’t mind helping you fulfill this small wish.”
The old master, who had been enduring for a long time, finally threatened him. His brother wanted to mutter a few more words, but when he saw the killing intent in the other party’s eyes, he realized that this person was serious. He really… wanted to kill him! After realizing this, he opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.
The reason was that he was just a paper tiger. He could not compare to the experienced and ruthless Tang Boyan at all. He only knew how to be unreasonable!
Tang Boyan looked at their faces and said in a low voice, “Don’t you believe me?”
No one answered his question, but they all expressed their feelings with silence. They had all seen how the family head had threatened his younger brother just now! What if he made an example of them? No one wanted to offend the family head, who had a high status, but they were all silently looking forward to who could say what was on their minds.
“I understand.”
Tang Boyan drank the tea that had already turned cold in one gulp and said, “If any of you see me getting an extra year-end bonus in the future, I will give this position to Jing Yi! Or any of you if you can do it. You can all heave a sigh of relief now, right? Let’s manage the business together!”
His brother, Tang Jingyi, was grinning from ear to ear. This was the result he wanted. He thought that Tang Boyan, this old fox, would not fall for it. He thought that he had made a wasted trip today and only managed to lower the main family’s status in the hearts of others. Just as he was feeling disappointed, he had a surprise!
But before he could be happy for long, the old master said in a cold and ominous tone, “My brother, are you satisfied?”
Tang Jingyi was shocked by his brother’s expression.?What does this mean? Why is Tang Boyan not angry but smiling instead? What is so funny?! If I get hold of any evidence against him, won’t he be finished?!
But is he actually smiling? How baffling…
Immediately, he froze on the spot. When he looked at the other party again, it was as if he was facing a dark abyss. That bright smile looked like it was mocking him for overestimating his own capabilities! Why… didn’t everything go according to his expectations? Why did Tang Boyan choose another path every time? Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by the other party!
He gritted his teeth and made a slight sound. Now he could only sit in his current position and watch helplessly as things did not go as he had expected! Tang Boyan! He would definitely not let this ‘good brother’ off! He would not stop until he took revenge. Even if he died together with him, he would not let him off!
