Chapter 1368: Just Do As I Say

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The situation had just stabilized and everyone’s future had just turned for the better. However, Tang Yue was actually planning to replace everyone here?

Then what about the price those people had paid before?

Su Bei composed herself. No, she couldn’t just return all this to Tang Yue.

Everyone’s efforts could not be stripped away by Tang Yue just like that.

Thinking of this, Su Bei turned around and left. Tang Yue saw Su Bei’s back and looked at her seriously for a while. She couldn’t help but smile and say, “So she’s here today. She still can’t bear to part with everything the Tang family has, right? That’s right. It’s so hard to work outside. How can it compare to all this that doesn’t require hard work?”

The people behind her also looked at Su Bei’s back. Now that the higher-ups knew that Su Bei was not from the Tang family, some of them sighed. Meanwhile, the people who followed Tang Yue were also excited about the rich profits that they could soon obtain. They could not wait to take over everything that belonged to Su Bei.

After saying goodbye to Zhuo Liping, Su Bei was about to leave.

Zhuo Liping had not had time to report to her. For a workaholic like him, it was a real pity.

Su Bei called Old Master Tang.

Old Master Tang immediately told her to come over.

When she arrived at the Tang family, it was different from before.

Su Bei stood at the door and paused for a moment before walking in.

“Su Bei, come in quickly.” Old Master Tang personally came over and welcomed Su Bei in.

“Grandpa.” Su Bei stepped forward and helped him sit down.

“Sit down, sit down. Butler, pour coffee for Su Bei.” Old Master Tang’s smile was loving and bright. He really liked Su Bei. Even if she wasn’t a child of the Tang family, he still treated her as his granddaughter.

“Grandpa, I came here today because I have a presumptuous request.”

Old Master Tang picked up his teacup and put it down without drinking. “You’re being too distant.”

Su Bei was amused by his words. After laughing, she said seriously, “Grandpa, after I returned to the Tang family, I obtained the operation rights of Jingbei Square. At first, I wanted to return you the operation rights. However, after thinking about it carefully today, I realized that the results of Jingbei Square were not easy to come by. Not only me but hundreds of employees had worked hard to achieve it.

“We’ve struggled for a long time to get to where we are today, and they have to rely on this job to support their families and go for their pursuits. I think their work is bound to be affected if the management of Jingbei Square changes.”

Old Master Tang nodded. “You’re right. When the time comes, no matter who gets Jingbei Square, there’ll be unrest. Everyone’s work will definitely be affected. What do you plan to do?”

“Grandpa, can you sell Jingbei Square to me directly?” Su Bei knew that this request was a little too much, but she couldn’t turn a blind eye to her employees’ interests.

She did not want to negotiate with Tang Yue either. Even if Tang Yue agreed to let all the employees stay, she would definitely humiliate them in a different way.

Actually, Su Bei didn’t know most of these employees and wasn’t familiar with them, but she did not want them to be victims of her battle with Tang Yue. No matter what, Su Bei couldn’t look past this.

Therefore, buying Jingbei Square was the only way to protect them.

Old Master Tang could understand everything that Su Bei was thinking.

He thought for a while. “Su Bei, you took over the management of Jingbei Square when it was in danger. You should have the right to own it. I should give it to you for free because it belonged to you long ago. Without you, there wouldn’t be Jingbei Square today.

“However, you know Tang Yue’s personality. She must think that I’m too biased toward you. If I give it to you directly, I’ll cause you trouble. Therefore, selling it to you is the only way. I’ll sell it to you.”

“Grandpa, it’s already my honor that you’ve agreed to sell it to me.” Su Bei’s eyes flickered. She was very touched that Old Master Tang still cared about his relationship with her. “After taking your things, it’s natural I should pay. This is a matter of course. You don’t have to feel guilty.”

“Su Bei, you should have a share in all of this.” Old Master Tang blamed himself.

“Grandpa, let’s get a lawyer here and settle this now.”

Old Master Tang immediately asked his assistant to call his personal lawyer and ask him to come over.

Soon, Old Master Tang’s personal lawyer arrived.

Old Master Tang instructed, “When Jingbei Square was given to Su Bei, it was a mess, so let’s set the price according to the original price.”

“Grandpa…” Su Bei wanted to say that he didn’t need to do that. He could just set it at the current price. After all, it was something that belonged to her grandfather.

However, Old Master Tang interrupted her firmly. “Just do as I say. You also need to take a salary for all the work you’ve done. How can I deprive you of the fruits of your labor? I’ll talk to Tang Yue about it.”

Seeing that he was unusually insistent, Su Bei could only accept it.

The lawyer quickly set the price. This price was according to the price at that time, but it was not a small sum. Fortunately, Su Bei had a lot of savings now, so she could still afford to pay it.

Just as Su Bei was about to sign, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Tang Yue rushed in. “Grandpa!”

She quickly walked over and said, “Grandpa, are you going to sell Jingbei Square? If that’s the case, since Su Bei is qualified to buy it, then as your biological granddaughter, I must also be qualified to compete for it and buy it, right?”

“Tang Yue, you know what Jingbei Square was like back then. Su Bei deserves it.”

“But Grandpa, Su Bei is an outsider. Aren’t you afraid that outsiders will gossip if you give it to her like this? I’m afraid you can’t even buy a floor of Jingbei Square with this amount of money, right? What will the outside world say about Su Bei when they find out?”

“Tang Yue, you!” Old Master Tang was so angry that his heart hurt.

Su Bei took a step forward to help Old Master Tang up, but Tang Yue rushed over to help him up. She pushed Su Bei away and said, “Grandpa, I didn’t mean to anger you. I just don’t want to see people gossiping outside. As you know, Su Bei’s identity as an artist can easily trigger negative comments. If you give her something so casually, it won’t be good for her reputation.”

Her ability to exaggerate was really impressive.

Only Tang Yue could say such a thing.
