Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Black and White Reversed_1
Half an hour later, Wang Qiang walked out of his house, looking utterly distraught.
To be precise, he was chased out by his father wielding a whip.
Luo Zitong and Luo Xuanran, who had been anxiously waiting outside, hurried to greet him.
"Qiang, how did it go? Didn’t your uncle give you a hard time, did he?"
"Qiangzi, what did your uncle say? Did he find out who was behind this?"
Shaking his head dejectedly, Wang Qiang replied, "How would I know? As soon as I got back, the old man started whipping me mercilessly; I’m covered in bruises now."
Thinking of something, he looked up at Luo Zitong, "Zitong, my dad said that Tian Sheng Group canceled their contract with Qiangwei Building Materials because I offended some big shot."
"I’ve been racking my brains, and the only person I’ve offended these past few days is your useless brother-in-law. Could it be that he has some connections with Tian Sheng Group?"
"What?" Luo Zitong was initially shocked and then shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How could my good-for-nothing brother-in-law have any connections with Tian Sheng Group!"
However, Luo Xuanran thought differently. Frowning slightly, he said, "Zitong, there’s something off about this."
"Think about it, we ran into him at the entrance this morning and he entered the lobby through the side door."
"When I came out, I spat out some phlegm and was fined seventy thousand by the security, but when Mo Han did the same right in front of the guards, he wasn’t fined a penny."
"There’s something fishy about all this!"
Luo Zitong pondered for a moment, feeling that something was indeed amiss. Could Mo Han actually have a connection with Tian Sheng Group?
But if he really had such a connection, then why would he have allowed Luo Ning to work a day job and run a street stall at night for a whole year?
Why would his daughter Mo Xiaochen need to borrow money from everywhere for a hospital stay that lasted so long?
Why would he be content to stay at home doing the laundry and cooking as a househusband?
"Qiang, I heard that Tian Sheng Group has a new, mysterious chairman. Could it be that he noticed a series of issues within the company and is using your uncle and you to set an example and start a reform campaign?"
Hearing his girlfriend’s words, enlightenment dawned upon Wang Qiang.
That’s right! A new official often fires the first shots. His uncle was too ostentatious at Tian Sheng Group, and he himself ran to them every other day. It was entirely possible that he had caught someone’s attention.
It’s always the most conspicuous that gets shot!
Having realized this, Wang Qiang immediately turned around, "Zitong, Xuanran, I must go back and report the situation to the old man. I can’t accompany you back to the Luo Family."
...
At 7:40 PM at the Luo Family Villa, all the senior members of the Luo Family were gathered together discussing important matters.
Hearing the news about Qiangwei Building Materials Plaza being blacklisted by Tian Sheng Group, Old Lady Luo almost fainted, barely able to catch her breath.
Offending Tian Sheng Group was practically the end of the Wang Family.
It wouldn’t be long before the Wang Family, a second-tier family, would fall to the level of a third-tier family like the Luo Family, or even go bankrupt outright.
"Zitong, your marriage with Wang Qiang will have to be put on hold for now," Old Lady Luo decided, not wanting to offend the Wang Family, but considering their predicament, she made up her mind.
"Grandmother!" Luo Zitong bit her lower lip, her voice low, "I’m already carrying Qiang’s child."
"Then abort it!" Old Lady Luo said coldly, "Your cousin already married a loser, do you want to marry another?"
"If the Luo Family wants to shine, we must marry into other distinguished families. You’re the best candidate, understand?"
Tears streaming down her face, Luo Zitong’s eyes welled up.
At that moment, Luo Yuantu stepped forward and gently patted his daughter’s back, "Zitong, don’t blame your grandmother, she does have a point."
"Your cousin Luo Ning was just like you, insisting on marrying no one but Mo Han. But look at her now: Mo Han’s company went bankrupt, and when her daughter got sick, he had to scramble for medical funds. Luo Ning has to work during the day and sell things on the street at night. What kind of life is that?"
"Your grandmother just doesn’t want you to end up like Luo Ning. There are plenty of promising young men in Jiangling City, and with your looks and figure, it’s not hard to find someone better than Wang Qiang’s family."
"Listen to your grandmother and get the abortion in the next few days."
This was spoken with a hint of command, leaving no room for Luo Zitong to refuse.
"Alright, let’s not talk about Wang Qiang anymore." Old Lady Luo waved dismissively and turned to her grandson, "Xuanran, did you meet with President Ling today? Did you tell her that Luo Group wants to participate in the East City project?"
This...
Luo Xuanran began to sweat profusely; the old lady was on the warpath.
He had been out with his sister all day. If he admitted that they hadn’t even seen President Ling’s secretary, it would likely invite scolding. But if he lied and his grandmother found out, the consequences would be even more severe.
His mind racing, an idea suddenly struck him.
"Grandmother, we could have met President Ling this time, if it hadn’t been for Mo Han!"
"Mo Han? What about him? Did he go to Tian Sheng Group too? What would he be doing there?" Old Lady Luo frowned in displeasure and confusion.
Luo Xuanran replied with a pained expression, "I have no idea what he was doing there, maybe interviewing for a janitor position."
"The problem is that he has no respect for etiquette; he spat on the floor as soon as he entered Tian Sheng Group, and a patrolling guard saw him. Unfortunately, Zitong and I were there too, and the guard thought we were together."
"President Ling is a stickler for cleanliness and absolutely detests uncouth behavior. When the guard learned we were from Luo Group, he reported it, and because of this, President Ling refused to meet with us."
"And since there’s a company policy against spitting, violators are fined, or else the person and their company are blacklisted. To help our company, I had no choice but to pay Mo Han’s fine of seventy thousand."
To convince his grandmother, Luo Xuanran quickly pulled out his phone and showed her the transaction, "Grandmother, look, this is the record of me paying Mo Han’s fine."
"Mo Han! Always Mo Han!" As expected, Old Lady Luo flew into a rage and smashed a vase beside her, bellowing, "Someone, bring Mo Han and Luo Ning here to me!"
