After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

Lin Zitian walked in with Tang Yufei, his face full of arrogance.

The Tang family members were taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

They never expected that Lin Zitian would send money, and a billion at that.

What the Tang family is lacking right now is this billion yuan.

"Yufei, are you telling the truth? Is Young Master Lin really willing to invest in our Tang family?"

Tang Zhenchuan excitedly grabbed Tang Yufei's wrist, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes.

Tang Yufei nodded with a smile, "Of course, Young Master Lin always keeps his word. He said before that he would invest 1 billion yuan in our Tang family, and now he's here to fulfill his promise."

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Tang Zhenchuan slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Our Tang family is currently short of one billion yuan as start-up capital for the Lan Group project! I never expected that Young Master Lin would actually send it to us. You are truly our Tang family's savior!"

"Mom, this is great. With Young Master Lin's help, our Tang family can get through this difficult time."

However, Old Madam Tang frowned.

As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things seem unpredictable. Everyone in Guicheng knows about Lin Zitian's character.

She didn't believe that the profit-driven Lin family would help the Tang family for no reason.

Old Madam Tang tentatively said, "Young Master Lin, if you are going to use this 1 billion as a betrothal gift, then you only need to consult Yufei's opinion."

"I've always been very open-minded, old lady. As long as Yufei is willing to marry you, I'll have no objections."

Lin Zitian smiled coldly upon hearing this. Use ten billion as a dowry to marry Tang Yufei? Does that slut even deserve it?

This old man is deliberately changing the subject; he's really shrewd with age.

but……

"Grandma is joking. There's no rush for my marriage to Yufei."

"This 1 billion is just my contribution to the Tang family as a major shareholder."

"After all, I'm the one who calls the shots in the Tang family now."

Lin Zitian said with a playful expression.

Tang family's major shareholder?

You decide?

Old Madam Tang sensed something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Lin, your Lin family does indeed wield immense power in Guicheng, but you are not powerful enough to arbitrarily decide the shareholding of our Tang family!"

Lin Zitian, beaming with pride, sneered, "Old Madam, you may not know this yet! Tang Boyong and Tang Boquan have already sold their shares to me."

"With a total of 30% of the shares, I should be the largest shareholder of the Tang family now!"

"What did you say?" Old Madam Tang was instantly filled with rage and roared hysterically, "How could these two scoundrels do such a thing? Traitors, they deserve to die!"

The directors of the Tang family were also shocked and angry.

Thirty percent of the shares is not enough to control the Tang family.

However, holding onto that 30% stake could severely damage the Tang family.

"Uncle Yong and Uncle Quan have gone too far. They don't deserve to be members of the Tang family at all."

Tang Zhenchuan was furious, but secretly delighted. After pretending to curse a couple of times, he advised Old Madam Tang, "Mom, although Uncle Yong and Uncle Quan went too far, the most urgent task now is to get the start-up funds for the Lan Group project."

"A full ten billion, now I'm afraid only Young Master Lin can help us."

Old Madam Tang's expression shifted between light and dark as she glared intently at Lin Zitian.

"Young Master Lin, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Since you are willing to spend a huge sum of money to help our Tang family, you must have something in mind!"

Lin Zitian clapped his hands. "The old lady is indeed a smart woman. That's right, my investment of 1 billion will not be in vain."

"But my request isn't excessive. As long as your Tang family hands over the formula for the beauty cream, I'll give you another billion, let alone ten billion."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Tang's face turned ashen.

really.

He came for the formula of the beauty cream.

"My master's recipe is extremely precious and worth a fortune."

"You want to buy it for a billion? You've really got a good plan."

Suddenly, Chu Tian let out a cold laugh.

Now that things have come to this point, how could he not see that, along with the earlier slander and defamation of the Tang family, it was all Lin Zitian's scheme!

Perhaps he first used the bald man to bring down the Tang family, and then took advantage of their misfortune.

After realizing that the plan had failed, they began to implement a second plan: to invest in the purchase.

His calculations were undeniably shrewd.

"It's just a formula, a billion is already a high price."

"Besides, if your Tang family wants to resolve this crisis, you can only rely on me now."

Lin Zitian looked at Chu Tian and gave him a provocative smile.

"Young Master Lin, although a billion is a lot of money, I promised the old immortal that I would never reveal the formula for the beauty cream."

"So you'd better give up on that idea as soon as possible!"

"That's what Old Madam Tang said without any room for argument."

Seeing this, Tang Zhenchuan became anxious. "Mom, it's just a verbal promise, nothing serious. The matter is urgent. If we can't get the 1 billion yuan as soon as possible, the Lan Group's project will be stuck in our hands."

"How are we supposed to explain this to the Lan family? How can we withstand their wrath?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Tang hesitated.

The Tang family was built up by her and her deceased husband.

It took decades to reach its current scale.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot let it be ruined by our own hands.

but……

"Mom, don't hesitate."

"Not to be missed."

"Now that Young Master Lin is willing to help us, his request is not unreasonable. It's just a broken formula, nothing serious."

Seeing that the old lady seemed somewhat tempted, Tang Zhenchuan continued to persuade her.

"Grandma, Dad is right."

"Although the recipe is precious, it is definitely not as practical as money."

"If our Tang family were to perish, then the formula would be nothing more than a blank piece of paper in our hands."

Tang Yufei seized the opportunity and spoke words that resonated deeply with the old lady.

As expected, the usually trustworthy Old Madam Tang had an extremely complicated expression at this moment.

They knew it was Lin Zitian's conspiracy, but they were powerless to stop it.

After all, the future of the Tang family is in his hands.

"Grandma, don't hesitate."

"As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good saddle. With the strength of your Tang family, keeping this formula is nothing more than keeping a bomb in your pocket."

"Even if I don't covet it today, others will in the future."

Lin Zitian no longer hid his intentions and spoke frankly.

In his view, the formula was a must-have today.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Tang closed her eyes in remorse.

Old sage, I'm afraid I'm going to have to apologize to you today.

For the sake of the Tang family, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

But rest assured, once the Tang family crisis is resolved, I will personally go to Kunlun Mountain to apologize to you.

However, just as Old Madam Tang was about to agree, Chu Tian's disdainful voice suddenly rang out.

"It's just a billion!"

"With me here, there's no way it'll be your turn."
