When Tang Qiulu finished speaking, those people from the Tang Family suddenly became agitated and glared at her fiercely.
"Tang Qiulu, how dare you deceive everyone with a fake contract!"
"I can't believe you would do such a thing just to avoid being kicked out of the Tang Family!"
"Do you think we're fools? Using a fake contract to trick us!"
Everyone was very angry, glaring at Tang Qiulu as if she were the enemy.
Tang Xiangdong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Tang Qiulu like she was a fool and said, "Are you very afraid of being kicked out of the Tang Family? No wonder, you have both of your parents and a coward of a son-in-law at home. Without the Tang Family, you probably couldn't even afford to eat. But don't worry, we're still family. If you're about to starve, I'll still give you something to eat."
The remaining people laughed and followed up, "Yes, we can still give you a meal."
Instead of getting angry, Tang Qiulu smiled and said, "Whether the contract is fake or not isn't up to you to decide. Even though I haven't met the boss of Weishui Real Estate, the person in charge of West District is named Cheng Shi. This contract was signed by him personally."
"I'm not an idiot, and neither would I consider grandma an idiot. Do you people really think I would go so far as to forge a contract?"
Tang Xiangdong's heart was pounding, and his face turned pale as paper.
Indeed, forging a contract is meaningless and would anger grandma.
Tang Qiulu would never be foolish enough to do such a thing!
Could it be... this girl actually secured the collaboration!
"Tang Qiulu, how could you..."
Tang Xiangdong hadn't finished speaking when grandma raised her hand to stop him.
Looking at Tang Qiulu, she asked, "This contract, did you really negotiate it with Cheng Shi? For the project in West District, is our family the supplier for that project?"
"Grandma, I've invited Mr. Cheng Shi to our group tomorrow. We'll know the truth by then." Tang Qiulu said.
Grandma smiled and said "good" three times in a row.
However, after saying the three "good," the expressions of those around changed, as if something had been pounding on their chests, making them feel very uncomfortable.
Tang Qiulu had immediately gained grandma's favor. Forget about being kicked out of the Tang Family; in the future, it's very likely she will be entrusted with important tasks by grandma. They certainly don't want Tang Qiulu stepping over them!
"Tang Qiulu, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to have really negotiated successfully." Tang Xiangdong now had to admit, since representatives from Waterfront Real Estate would come tomorrow, even if he didn't want to admit it, he didn't think Tang Qiulu would spout such nonsense.
"Hmm, you haven't forgotten what you said before, have you?" Tang Qiulu said.
Tang Xiangdong said viciously, "Tang Qiulu, this is just you being lucky. Even if I had gone, I could have done it too. Do you really think I would serve you tea?"
This is something Tang Xiangdong would never do. In his perception, he is the most powerful person in the Tang Family and the most likely to take over as chairman. Serving tea to Tang Qiulu? Don't even think about it!
"Tang Qiulu, don't be ungrateful. Do you think you're lucky enough to ride on Tang Xiangdong's back?"
"Yes, do you really think you're a hero? I might have been able to negotiate too if I had gone."
"Tang Qiulu, let me say a few words. As an elder, you should listen, shouldn't you? This matter is already in the past; you were just a bit luckier than others."
A few people from the Tang Family stood up to speak for Tang Xiangdong, looking down on everyone with haughty expressions, making Tang Qiulu laugh angrily.
They really are a shameless group, agreeing with Tang Xiangdong just a moment ago, and now she was in the wrong.
If she hadn't secured the contract, when Tang Xiangdong tried to kick her out of the Tang Family, they would probably have ridiculed her viciously.
"If you lose, you have to admit it!" Grandma suddenly said in a low voice with her eyes closed.
As soon as grandma finished speaking, those who had been speaking on behalf of Tang Xiangdong obediently shut their mouths.
The color of Tang Xiangdong's face turned directly to liver-colored, even though there was much unwillingness inside, but since grandma had spoken, he couldn't possibly dare disobey.
He had to serve a cup of tea obediently, then, with an unwilling look on his face, called out, "Sister."
Forced to bow his head, Tang Xiangdong's expression was extremely gloomy, thinking: This time I'll let you go, but from today onwards, don't expect to live so calmly. I am the most powerful in the group, if I decide to deal with you, there are many ways, I'll definitely pay back double sooner or later!
Tang Qiulu took the tea but didn't drink it.
Instead, she put the cup on the table and said to grandma, "Grandma, I'll go home and organize the materials now. I have to discuss other matters with Mr. Cheng tomorrow."
After the meeting ended, Tang Qiulu left the conference room with grandma, but the remaining people did not leave.
"Tang Xiangdong, you must suppress Tang Qiulu's momentum; you absolutely can't let her become someone useful to the family."
"That's right, if this woman really takes charge and directly collaborates with Waterfront Real Estate, it could shake your status."
Tang Xiangdong's expression looked very gloomy, just as these people said, if Tang Qiulu and Waterfront Real Estate continued to cooperate, his position in the group would certainly be somewhat shaken.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let this bitch Tang Qiulu get her way."
Tang Qiulu returned home with Su Changfeng.
Tang Zhenhua and Sun Mei were nervously sitting on the sofa, as their family was on the brink of crises. Tang Zhenhua even lacked the courage to attend the meeting, fearing they would indeed be kicked out of the Tang Family.
"Qiulu, how did it go?" Sun Mei asked, feeling a bit guilty.
Seeing the scared expressions of her parents, Tang Qiulu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't be kicked out of the Tang Family."
Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Qiulu in surprise, suddenly stood up, and suspiciously asked, "You...did you secure the collaboration?"
"Qiulu, did you really do it?" Sun Mei was also directly dumbfounded.
Tang Qiulu nodded and glanced at Su Changfeng. Everyone thought it was her achievement, but she knew in her heart that Su Changfeng was the real hero here.
"Yes, I did it; I've signed the contract." Tang Qiulu said.
Sun Mei excitedly came over to Tang Qiulu, directly pushed Su Changfeng aside, and shouted excitedly, "Qiulu, you really are my good daughter! I was wrong, I should have trusted you from the start."
"Qiulu, what did grandma say? Did Tang Xiangdong really serve you tea?" Tang Zhenhua suddenly regretted not being there this time, missing the chance to witness Tang Xiangdong calling sister. What a pity!
"Grandma said 'good' three times, and Tang Xiangdong did serve me tea." Tang Qiulu was also very happy, and so were her parents.
