Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 550: Chapter 543: Bullying the Weak with Power

Tian Xinhua and Sisi, on seeing the expression on Tang Qiubai’s face, could immediately guess what was going on. Sisi had no expectations for him, so she was indifferent. However, Tian Xinhua was different; he and Tang Qiubai had been friends since childhood. Though not as close as with He Chengsi and Zhong Anping, they were like brothers.

There’s a saying that you shouldn’t deceive a friend’s wife, and indeed, Tang Qiubai was such a "good friend."

"Tang Qiubai, our friendship ends today. From now on, we are no longer friends," said Tian Xinhua coldly.

Although it was not as dramatic as ancient rituals of cutting ties, Sisi knew from these words that Tian Xinhua no longer considered Tang Qiubai a friend, which delighted her as she would not have to deal with Tang Qiubai any more.

Tang Qiubai didn’t expect Tian Xinhua to sever ties over such a trivial matter and thought Tian Xinhua was overreacting. Considering Tian Xinhua was furious and the current priority was to appease President Zhang, he decided to wait for another opportunity to explain.

However, Tang Qiubai didn’t realize that Tian Xinhua was no longer willing to listen to his explanations. Their friendship had effectively capsized today.

President Zhang was shouting about calling the police, insisting on having these gangsters arrested. Having operated in the Mainland for many years, he knew how much influence businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan held; the police would surely satisfy him. Additionally, he fantasized that the beautiful young woman might throw herself into his arms out of fear!

"President Zhang, these two are my friends. You..." Tang Qiubai pleaded.

As Mr. Yun had instructed Tian Xinhua not to broadcast his government position, everyone, both in the Capital City and Sui City, assumed Tian Xinhua was just a regular office worker in government – Tang Qiubai included. He certainly didn’t want Tian Xinhua to face legal trouble.

But he had no sway over President Zhang, who was adamant and refused to let Tian Xinhua and Sisi go.

Tian Xinhua didn’t bother to argue and was about to call a high-ranking official in the city, a secretary elevated by Mr. Yun and considered part of Yun’s faction.

Suddenly, Sisi remembered what Zhong Yuying had mentioned earlier about the two men being from the Hong Kong-based East Asia Group, a property of the Li family she had heard about from Li Junji.

Li family’s lapdogs, huh? She would settle this score with Li Junji later!

"Hello, Li Junji is your young master, right?" Sisi stopped Tian Xinhua, who was about to make a call, and asked President Zhang.

The arrogant President Zhang was taken aback and foolishly nodded, puzzled as to how this Mainland beauty knew about his Sixth Young Master.

"Do you know that Li Junji has a brother named Qiao Xingbang?" Sisi spoke in Cantonese to President Zhang purposely so that Tang Qiubai and Zhong Yuying would not understand.

The mention of Qiao Xingbang’s name instantly changed President Zhang’s expression; who doesn’t recognize the notorious reputation of "overseas dragon" Second Young Master Qiao?

But why would this beautiful young woman ask about Second Young Master Qiao?

President Zhang had a sinking feeling, and soon enough, Sisi said with a smile, "You must be curious about how I know your Sixth Young Master and also know that guy from Qiao Xingbang, right?"

President Zhang dumbly nodded again.

"Because Qiao Xingbang is my elder brother!" Sisi said cheerfully. Seeing President Zhang’s disbelief, she added, "If you don’t believe it, go back and ask your Sixth Young Master whether he knows He Sisi."

In fact, President Zhang already somewhat believed her; the stories in Jianghu did speak of Old Boss Qiao having a stunningly beautiful adopted daughter, who was highly favored. He hadn’t expected her to be this beautiful woman, yet her demeanor did resemble that of a young lady from a powerful family.

Even if President Zhang had his doubts, he dared not test them! What if it was true? Would he even survive?

When in the Jianghu, it’s most important to understand the circumstances, but even more crucial to know when to submit!

Immediately, President Zhang put on a flattering smile: "Miss He, forgive my foolishness for not recognizing a great person like you. Please be magnanimous and don’t lower yourself to my level."

Sisi was even more delighted, reveling in the thrill of wielding power!

"It depends on your performance, President Zhang. The person I dislike the most is Manager Zhong. You know what you should do, right?"

President Zhang tacitly understood and promised that he would definitely not give the order to Manager Zhong.

"Also, don’t go around talking about my identity, got it?"

"Understood, understood, Miss He, rest assured, I absolutely won’t talk recklessly." President Zhang quickly assured.

Although Tang Qiubai couldn’t understand Cantonese, he knew that Sisi must have said something to President Zhang to make him so deferential before and after.

Does Sisi have some power in Hong Kong? Or does Uncle He have some background?

Tang Qiubai was very curious about this and even thought how great it would be if Sisi’s power could be used for his own benefit!

Sisi sneered: Dream on!

After sending Secretary Li to the hospital, President Zhang said with a cold face that he wouldn’t make the deal with Tang Qiubai and that he was looking for another electronics manufacturer.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qiubai desperately asked President Zhang what was going on?

President Zhang mysteriously smiled and said, "It’s because your company’s Manager Zhong has offended someone he shouldn’t have!"

"Is it He Sisi? Did she tell you not to cooperate with me?" Tang Qiubai asked with a calm face.

President Zhang smilingly said, "Mr. Tang, don’t talk nonsense. Miss He just said she doesn’t like Manager Zhong, she wouldn’t interfere with our East Asia Group’s business."

It really was He Sisi!

Tang Qiubai was now certain that Sisi must have substantial power in Hong Kong, or else President Zhang wouldn’t have been so wary!

Tang Qiubai felt secretly pleased, surprised by the vast influence of the He Family. He regretted distancing himself from the He Family over these past years, realizing it seemed to occur after he got to know Zhong Yuying.

Thinking further about how President Zhang said that Sisi didn’t like Zhong Yuying, his heart immediately harbored some dislike towards Zhong Yuying, especially since she had also affected his career progression, turning that slight dislike swiftly into aversion!

When Tang Qiubai saw Zhong Yuying, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head beside him, and thought about having shared a bed with such an ugly woman the night before, he felt like vomiting.

This life’s Tang Qiubai and Zhong Yuying were not in love like in his previous life. Lacking the financial support from the gullible Tian Zhaodi, his wealth was incomparable to his previous life and similarly failed to attract Zhong Yuying.

In this life, Zhong Yuying was also no longer the innocent maiden she was before, so in Tang Qiubai’s eyes, she was merely a woman to relieve physical needs.

The two used each other for their own needs!

"President Zhang, Zhong Yuying is no longer an employee of my company. This order was negotiated between you and me. Miss He certainly won’t blame you."

Unable to trap a wolf without setting the child aside, although he was somewhat reluctant to lose Zhong Yuying’s outstanding performance, he had to be ruthless for the sake of his promotion next year.

Zhong Yuying looked at Tang Qiubai incredulously, never expecting that the man who was whispering sweet nothings to her last night would turn his back on her so quickly?

Sisi laughed heartily: Oh Zhong Yuying, how is the taste of betrayal by someone close?

President Zhang didn’t really want to switch manufacturers, and his earlier words were just a performance. Now that the effect is achieved, he didn’t pursue further and slapping Tang Qiubai’s shoulder cheerfully said, "Mr. Tang, you really are promising and capable!"

"Where, where, I can’t compare with President Zhang’s vast experience!"

Tang Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the order was safe, and secretly felt fortunate he had made the decision to cut ties.

The pain on Zhong Yuying’s face was unbearable, but this paled in comparison to the heartache she felt. Both men had once whispered sweet words while lying on her, but now they had betrayed her together—ha, truly, men are the world’s most unreliable and unfaithful creatures!
