Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Tian Yonghong spread his hands, indicating his helplessness. Dong Yong was furious, but he couldn't find any rebuttal to Tian Yonghong's statement. He felt extremely frustrated.

Dong Yong discovered that He Yuzhu was a jinx. Ever since He's restaurant opened, his once smooth-sailing business had never been successful. Every time he made a decision, one unexpected event or another would occur.
"Alright, as you request. But I'm warning you, if you agree to the Tian family's demands, you must ship the goods as soon as possible. Otherwise, carefully consider whether the Tian family can withstand the Dong family's wrath, right? Good brother?"

From this moment on, the Tian family and the Dong family are no longer related; they can only use each other. When I talk to you about feelings, you want to talk about interests. Fine, from now on, the Tian family can forget about talking about feelings with the Dong family. You are not worthy!

"Brother, I..."

Tian Yonghong frowned inwardly. This time, it seemed she had gone too far. Dong Yong was the eldest son of the Dong family, the first direct heir. The vast Dong family would eventually fall into Dong Yong's hands. The old folks in the family would eventually pass away, and she would still have to rely on the Dong family in many ways to inherit the Tian family. This time...

"No need for further words, Chen Yousai, hand over the reins to my good brother clearly. I'll wait here for a week. Remember, your Tian family only has one week, seven days. If you can't cash out, hehe...we'll see."
"Since you've taken your due benefits, these goods are yours. I only want the money. If things go wrong in Beijing, not only you, Tian Yonghong, but the entire Tian family can't afford the consequences, understand?"

"Brother, aren't we supposed to settle the payment after the sale? Why are you asking this?"

Tian Yonghong looked at her unfamiliar cousin in surprise. What was going on? Didn't we agree that we'd settle the payment after the sale?

Judging from what you just said, are you planning to deliver the goods to the Tian family all at once? Grandpa, in the end, you miscalculated!

"Hehe, since you want so many benefits, why not just give the goods to you directly? Anyway, we've suffered heavy losses, so why keep them here?"

You could easily go home and ask your father's opinion. Just so you know, my grandfather approved of my coming to Jinshi!

Dong Yong sneered, "Since you're kicking me when I'm down, I have no choice but to fight back. Anyway, you'll make a good profit even if I give you this money, so it's not a loss for you."
However, the money earned was much less than expected. The old man of the Tian family is no match for Grandpa. I believe the Tian family will make the right choice. That bastard is greedy for money!

"Cousin, I can't make such a big decision on my own. You should rest first, and I'll go home and ask Grandpa for his opinion before giving you an answer, okay?"

To be honest, Tian Yonghong regretted it. She shouldn't have been so ruthless. The Tian family couldn't compare to the Dong family. The Tian family was known as the number one family in Jinshi not because of their strength, but mainly because of her mother and the Dong family's rise.
Otherwise, based solely on strength, there are at least seven families in Jinshi that can rival the Tian family. Therefore, Tian Yonghong regrets it!
"Go quickly and give me a clear answer by tonight. Otherwise, I'll have to take you back, and of course, our relationship will be over."

From now on, Auntie is only a daughter of the Dong family. No one from the Tian family has any further connection with the Dong family, including you, my dear brother!

Dong Yong's words were tantamount to an ultimatum, meaning that if the Tian family wanted to remain the number one family in Jinshi, they had to secure this shipment; otherwise, their relationship was over and over!

Tian Yonghong watched Dong Yong go to rest in silence. They were all relatives, why did it have to come to this? Even if a deal fell through, there should still be goodwill.
However, he dared not take it lightly. Over the years, Dong Yong had indeed been able to represent the will of the Dong family, as announced publicly when he attended the Dong family's annual meeting! At the same time, he cursed his uncles in his heart, thinking how short-sighted they were to give up such a powerful backer for a little bit of benefit. How foolish!

Grandpa, too, has been a man of perfect strategy over the years, but this time he made a mistake. The Dong family naturally has its pride.
The Tian family doesn't need to worry about the source of goods; they can just sell them through their family's channels. What's wrong with not taking this small commission? Short-sighted!

"Brother Dong, it seems the Tian family is trying to take advantage of our misfortune. News from the capital has already reached Tianjin. We can't delay any longer. People in Tianjin have heard about it. Will our arrival be discovered by our mysterious adversary?"

Chen Yousai looked at Dong Yong with a worried expression. How spirited Dong Yong used to be in Pigeon Market! And now? Heh!
"Hehe, everyone in the world is driven by profit, and everyone is driven by gain. The Tian family is taking advantage of our misfortune, so let's just go along with them."
I'm also worried that our arrival might be detected by our opponents. If that happens, our sales in Jinshi might also be targeted.

Since the Tian family is so greedy, let's let them take over completely. Anyway, we'll make a profit, and it's not wrong to be prepared just in case.

By the way, how's the investigation into Li Huaide going? Did Li Huaide supply the goods our opponent has? If so, hehe…”

Dong Yong sneered. Did the Tian family really think they had him cornered? In that case, let's have some fun and see how lucky the Tian family is!
"The large shipments that mysteriously appeared in Beijing have nothing to do with Li Huaide. That old guy knows a boss in Hong Kong, and the goods we have all came from there."
Besides, if Li Huaide wanted to send such a large amount of supplies to the capital without anyone noticing, how could he possibly evade our network of connections? Even if we confirmed it, there's nothing we can do, isn't there?

Chen Yousai couldn't help but marvel at how the mysterious opponent had managed to deliver the goods to the capital so stealthily, dealing Dong Yong a devastating blow, and how accurately they had timed and obtained the information.
This mysterious person is incredibly capable. If I could find out who he is, I'd love to pay him a visit. He's amazing!

"That's true. Now, let's just wait quietly for the Tian family's decision, hehe!"

Dong Yong remained noncommittal. As long as this matter had nothing to do with Li Huaide, that was fine. He was genuinely afraid that this kid was two-faced and was setting a trap for the Dong family.
Tian Yonghong hurriedly returned to the family and relayed her conversation with Dong Yong to her grandfather!
"Grandpa, this is what happened. The negotiations with Dong Yong broke down, and in the end, he demanded that we reduce the kickbacks and take it all down."
Next, Dong Yong will not participate in the sale of goods; he will just wait to receive the money. He will also give us a week to raise funds, otherwise…”

"Otherwise what? What did that brat Dong Yong say?"

“Grandpa, otherwise, apart from my mother, everyone else has no connection with the Dong family anymore, including me. What do you think…”

"Hehe, it's more like Old Man Dong would say that. However, it's not that we can't take it, but we have to sell all the goods before we can pay for it, otherwise we refuse!"

"Refuse? Grandpa, this is the Dong family of Beijing. If we refuse directly, many people will target us, and it's very likely that we'll be completely removed from the list of the eight great families of Tianjin. You..." (End of Chapter)
