Jibei City, the capital of Jiangbei Province, was a big city that had been full of disputes since ancient times. Countless scholars, poets, and historical hegemons had once dominated the area and left their names in history. Therefore, the development of Jibei City had always been at the forefront of Hua Xia. Although it was not as big as first-tier metropolises such as Yanjing, Shenyang, Jiangsu, and Hangzhou, it was not far behind in terms of tall buildings.
Xu Yun drove slowly to the front of this magnificent building. Today was the first time he saw the Tang Group's building. In the city that was originally filled with skyscrapers, the Tang Group's building was like a crane in a flock of chickens. At the top of the skyscraper, the LED light box with the words "Tang Group" had been turned on just before sunset, emitting a dazzling light.
Xu Yun had seen tall buildings with dozens of floors before. However, when he thought about how Tang Jiu's family owned it, he could not help but feel that it was a bit exaggerated. Moreover, the entire building, from the purchase of the land to the completion of the construction, had been paid for by the Tang Group. From the designers to the construction team, everything had been done by the Tang Group's people. It was obvious that the Tang Group was very powerful in Jibei City. It was so powerful that many people could only look up to it.
At this moment, the Tang Group's building was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The red carpet was dazzling, and there were dragon and lion dances. Many media reporters were even scrambling to get a good shot. All of this was done by Tang Yifei. He wanted to make this a big deal and let everyone know about it. This way, people would know that a girl did not have the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility, and that he was the backbone of the Tang Group.
The red carpet was laid out all the way to the front of the car. After Xu Yun stopped the car, he opened the door for Tang Jiu. After Tang Jiu got out of the car, there was not even a speck of dust on the soles of her shoes. Seeing that the successor of the Tang Group had finally appeared, the flashes of the cameras were like firecrackers lit in the middle of the night, emitting dazzling light.
Xu Yun actually did not like this feeling. At this moment, if someone wanted to trick them, they could casually shoot a hidden weapon in the crowd of reporters, and it would be difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. Therefore, Xu Yun followed Tang Jiu carefully, listening for any dangerous sounds around them.
Tang Jiu was wearing an exquisite gown and a pair of crystal heels. Her neck and wrists were adorned with limited edition Bulgari jewelry. Clearly, they weren't ordinary custom-made goods. Xu Yun also put on the Armani suit that Tang Jiu had specially bought for him during the day. The handmade leather shoes on his feet were really comfortable. Xu Yun sighed that they were definitely a hundred times more comfortable than flip-flops.
Not to mention the value of their clothes, just the price of the pair of socks on Xu Yun's feet was enough for him to buy street stalls all year round.
Although dozens of reporters were blocked by the security guards, there were still people who tried their best to raise their microphones and ask Tang Jiu loudly, "Miss Tang! What are your thoughts on inheriting the Tang Group? "
"Miss Tang! I heard that you inherited the Tang Group this time because you found your other half who can help you fight for the world. May I ask who he is and what his name is? "
"Miss Tang! Is the man beside you right now the one who can help you and the Tang Group? "
"Sir, may I know your name? Are you Miss Tang's other half? "
"..."
Faced with so many questions, Xu Yun was really disgusted. This was a family matter. What did it have to do with them? It wasn't like a celebrity wanted to create hype. Even if no one asked, they would hire a few people to ask.
Tang Jiu didn't say a word to all the questions. She seemed to be used to this kind of situation. Although she was disgusted, she still had a confident smile on her face. Xu Yun didn't say anything when he saw this. He just let Tang Jiu hold his arm and walk in.
The first floor of the Tang Group was originally a rather grand reception hall. Now, after some last-minute changes, it was transformed into a huge banquet hall. Of course, all of this was arranged by Tang Yifei. It was better to hold this banquet in the Tang family's own place for Tang Jiu to announce her new position.
There were already many members of the Tang family present. When they saw Tang Jiu, they stopped what they were doing and looked over. When they saw Xu Yun appear beside Tang Jiu, many of their faces changed slightly.
Especially Tang Zhenfeng and Tang Sanguo. They didn't expect Xu Yun to be involved. After the incident a few days ago, Xu Yun went to Hedong City with Tang Zhengtian and the others. They knew that this person wasn't Tang Jiu's man. He was just a master who came to help. Now that Xu Yun appeared again, they instantly shattered their original guesses.
"Dad, today's matter isn't decided by them." Tang Yifei stood behind Tang Zhenfeng and sneered. "The people who came today are all famous people in Jibei City and even the entire Jiangbei Province. They are all on good terms with us."
Tang Zhenfeng nodded. "Even so, we have to be careful. Anything can happen. We can't let Tang Jiu gain a foothold in this banquet. Once she can intimidate these people, the situation will be quite unfavorable for us."
As the two of them spoke, Xu Yun and Tang Jiu walked over. Tang Yifei tried to adjust his mentality and walked forward with a smile. "Sister Jiu, you didn't have to come so early." After saying that, he reached out to Xu Yun and gave Xu Yun a special address. "Brother-in-law, when did you come to Jibei? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xu Yun was too lazy to shake hands with this kind of person. How dare he call himself 'second brother' in front of him? Did he really think he was someone important? "I came to Jibei because I was afraid that some people would bully Tang Jiu. I'm not here to acknowledge you as my relative. I know what kind of person you are. You don't have to pretend in front of me."
Tang Yifei was stifled by Xu Yun's words to the point that his heart ached. This bastard was really going too far! This was the Tang family. It was not a place where any outsider could shout and shout! There were so many people inside and outside. Who dared to speak to him like this?! But this Xu Yun in front of him dared to speak to him like this. Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. He did not show any mercy.
If someone else dared to do this, Tang Yifei would definitely slap them and let them know who had the final say in the Tang family. But he did not dare to do this to Xu Yun. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to do so.
"Xu Yun, you will be with Little Jiu in the future. That means you are part of our Tang family. You don't have to be so harsh to your own family, right?" Seeing Tang Yifei suffer, Tang Shaofeng was naturally in a good mood. He smiled and said as he walked over.
Tang Yifei's mouth trembled slightly. He glared fiercely at Tang Shaofeng. He knew this guy would hit him when he was down and scold him.
"I'll say the same to you. Don't try to worm your way into being friends with me. Don't think of yourself as a good person." After Xu Yun finished speaking, he left with Tang Jiu. Tang Shaofeng was left hanging in the air with a face full of anger.
Tang Yifei was originally full of anger, but he instantly felt better. Looking at Tang Shaofeng who also did not get a good look, he could not help but feel proud. "Third Brother, Second Brother, I don't want to criticize you. You want to form an alliance with this little ability of yours? Haha, I think you should work with Second Brother to make the Tang family bigger and more stable. "
"Do you have that ability?" Tang Shaofeng said coldly. "Let me tell you, you better understand that the Tang family now belongs to Ninth Sister. The successor is Ninth Sister, not you! Don't sit in the main seat. Be careful not to mistake your identity. You won't even know if you are killed. "
Tang Yifei did not expect this b * stard to be so sharp-tongued. He glared at him, snorted heavily, and turned to leave.
The venue of the cocktail party had already been prepared. In the next hour, guests arrived one after another. Xu Yun could tell at a glance that there were at least a hundred VIPs. Looking at the way these people were dressed and their auras, it was not difficult to tell that they were all people of status in Jibei City.
The people who arrived quickly integrated into the atmosphere. Tang Jiu also stood up with a glass of champagne and led Xu Yun to socialize with them.
"Hahaha, my little niece, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become so beautiful!" A slightly plump man in his early fifties looked at Tang Jiu with admiration. "That little brat of mine has been talking about you for many years. When will you let Uncle arrange for you to meet? Let's not talk about that little brat first. I really want you to be my daughter-in-law! "
Tang Sanguo happened to be walking over not far away. He laughed and said, "Mr. Qi, if our Tang family can become in-laws with you, it would be a blessing from our previous life! I'm just afraid that your son won't like our Little Jiu, hahaha. "
"His name is Qi Zhenqiang, and he is definitely one of the big shots in Jibei City. When he was 15 years old, he started mining in the mines. Not only did he rely on his own abilities, but he also had a clever mouth. When the coal mine system was reformed, he single-handedly took over the largest coal mine in Jiangbei Province, Jiangyang Coal Mine. In the next few years, he was definitely the biggest nouveau riche in Jibei City and even the entire Jiangbei Province." Tang Jiu whispered in Xu Yun's ear, "Although the recent two years have been a little bad, as the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. With Qi Zhenqiang's strong family background, he's still a big shot in Jibei City."
Xu Yun nodded and thought to himself, "To put it bluntly, he's just a coal boss facing difficulties."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Qi. I'm afraid I can't do as you wish." Tang Jiu smiled politely and pulled Xu Yun to her side. She introduced, "This is Xu Yun, my boyfriend. Although he and I don't have an official relationship yet, I'm afraid you've fallen in love with him and think that you'll marry no one else but him. "
Xu Yun was sweating profusely when he heard that. Who knew if Tang Jiu was lying to deceive Uncle Qi, or if she was really taking the opportunity to say it to him? Regardless of whether it was true or not, Tang Jiu's happy expression made people feel that it was definitely true!
