Chapter 52: The first condition
European aristocrats were once called blue blood, but relatively speaking, some specific classes in China were described as red.
So, when Rong Huazhen said these meaningful words, Rong Huaqiang was stunned for a moment and soon reacted. Before he went to the mainland, he had heard of the name of Chong Tiange at some local social gatherings and banquets. He didn't care much about it in his heart, and just regarded him as a very smart junior.
However, at the last cooperation launch ceremony between Tianpeng Group and Rong, he found that he underestimated people too much.
Although this man named Tiange is only a few years older than his son, his wrists, abilities, and vision make him, an old senior who has been in the business world for more than 30 years, feel ashamed and even nervous.
At that moment, Rong Huaqiang even secretly thanked that this was his partner, not a competitor.
"Azhen, you mean..."
When Rong Huaqiang thought that the Chong Tiange in front of him might turn the tide and come forward to solve the unprecedented crisis encountered by Xuyang Technology this time, Rong Huaqiang's cheeks flushed and he kept looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Chong Tiange turned his head with obvious resistance, looked at Rong Huazhen, who was laughing mysteriously, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Since the other party involved him, he would no longer be as polite as before.
After living for more than 30 years, Chong Tiange is very disgusted with being threatened or designed by others. Now he can clearly feel that Rong Huazhen is planning something, including his existence.
Rong Huazhen smiled slightly, boldly greeted his stunning gaze, and did not dodge. Instead, he replied in a proper tone: "Since everyone wants to be a family, isn't it necessary to help each other? Why do you say that? Work together and be together when it comes to difficulties. If Mr. Pet wants to be the son-in-law of our Rong family and don't show any sincerity, everyone's face will not look good, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Even Rong Huaqiang, who was looking forward to it just now, was obviously shocked. He obviously didn't understand what kind of small abacus his sister was working on. Everything was too sudden.
Chong Tiange pursed his lips, tense his face, and did not speak immediately.
Rong Tian couldn't help but step forward, grabbed Rong Huazhen's hand, and asked in a bad tone: "What do you mean? How can you say such words that have not been traced yet? You, you are simply too much!"
Ever since she knew that she had nothing to do with her, she just treated herself as a pawn and a puppet, it was difficult for Rong Tian to regard Rong Huazhen as her biological mother, as filial and obedient. Every time she was scolded, she barely suppressed and endured, and she didn't know when it would explode.
Rong Huazhen tsk her tongue twice, shook her hand away, glanced at Rong Tian and Chong Tiange's faces, and sneered, "What are you pretending? My eyes will know when you pass by your two eyes! Do you dare to say that there is nothing between you two? You have done everything you shouldn't do, but now you are in a hurry to clear out what you are doing? Anyway, the man is not married and the woman is not married, so it is not embarrassing to be together!"
Rong Tian was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.
She was not afraid that others would know her relationship with Tiange, she just hated that she was controlled by others because of this relationship!
If she really had to compromise or was threatened to do something because of her identity, then she would definitely be extremely sad and guilty, thinking that she was dragging him down!
Chong Tiange saw her anger, stepped forward gently, reached out and pulled Rong Tian away from Rong Huazhen, letting her stand behind him.
"Don't make the words so bad. As for what you were going to say, we might as well talk about them."
He made his tone sound as calm as possible, but in fact, the anger in Chong Tiange's heart was about to turn over. If the time had not yet been ripe, he would never allow anyone to be so presumptuous.
"I knew Mr. Pet is a smart person. Come on, everyone sits down, why bother standing? How tired?"
Rong Huazhen called out loudly, and she took the lead in sitting down on the sofa, and then called her secretary to make tea, as if she was a hostess.
"No need, you will tell me a long story. After I listened, I will tell you whether it is possible or not."
Chong Tiange did not give her more face at all, interrupting her enthusiasm. Even Rong Huaqiang, who was sitting beside him, felt extremely embarrassed. He stood up several times and wanted to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere. Unfortunately, no one among the people present paid attention to him.
Rong Huazhen was angry, but there was no chance of an attack, so she had to take a breath and said pretentiously: "My daughter is old and her parents can't keep her. Since you are interested in dating, we parents will not stop her. But you have also seen that the Rong family has offended the mainland military now, and Rong Ke accidentally leaked important commercial secrets. Although it is not known whether it has been leaked to competitors in the industry for the time being, this matter will sooner or later be known. At that time, it will not be as simple as losing the opportunity to cooperate and paying liquidated damages. If it is not a good idea, our Rong family will be banned and prohibited from going to the mainland to make money."
Speaking of this, she looked at Rong Tian half-truely and added worriedly: "Don't think I'm thinking about myself. You can figure it out that the old man gave it to you in the two mainland companies! If a girl is old, I can't keep you at home all the time. Others want to say that I, a mom, don't even care about my daughter's future in order to make money!"
Rong Huaqiang, who was standing beside him, also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, A Tian, Rong's family belongs to our family. They both lose and prosper together. You are the ones in the mainland. I don't want to drag you down because of Rong Ke's affairs..."
The brother and sister discussed it and said that they were reconciling each other, obviously deliberately changing their concepts, just like when something happened to Xuyang Technology, the first one to be affected was the two mainland branches under Rong Tian’s name.
How could she not hear it?
Rong Tian was trembling with anger and said angrily: "I was sent to the mainland. How many people in my family were laughing at me, waiting for me to return in disgrace and roll back to Hong Kong in shame! Now I finally stood up and you are here again. You want to clean up the mess left by Rong Ke under my banner! Is it in your eyes that I am just a bargaining chip, and wherever there is need? If a seventy-year-old man comes forward and says that he can settle this matter, are you planning to marry me as a reward?"
Her questioning made Ronghuaqiang blush and hesitate and unable to speak.
In contrast, Rong Huazhen was much calmer than him. She chuckled twice and said with a burning look on her eyes: "Do you think this simple assumption is meaningful? We might as well listen to Mr. Pet. Maybe, he is willing?"
Rong Tian stared at her, clenched her hands into fists, bit her lips tightly, and stopped talking.
However, she also wanted to hear Chong Tiange's idea. She didn't want to know if he would come forward to solve this matter, but just wanted to see how he planned to deal with her relationship with Rong's family.
To be honest, Rong Tian didn't want him to surrender for himself, but if he really refused, she felt a little disappointed in her heart.
Now, I’m just waiting to see what Chong Tiange said.
Not only Rong Tian is waiting, but Rong Huazhen and Rong Huaqiang are also waiting.
"I can come forward to prove that Rong Ke's leak was not intentional. If the military pursues it, I'm afraid your Rong family will also compensate for some of the liquidated damages, but they should not sue. In addition, my suggestion is that you should hurry up and let the company's technicians modify the drawings and data. If the other party's attitude is not very aggressive, maybe you may still have the possibility of continuing to cooperate. After all, as far as I know, Xuyang Technology is one of the best in the design and manufacturing of precision instruments throughout Asia. If they temporarily change their partners, they may not be sure to guarantee that there will be no problems."
Chong Tiange pondered for a moment, gave his answer, and even gave further solutions.
As soon as these words were spoken, a strong look of joy suddenly appeared on Rong Huaqiang's face. He repeatedly said that he was almost going to take what Chong Tiange said as an imperial edict, and to implement it without any word.
Rong Huazhen frowned, but she didn't expect that Chong Tiange would agree to be so easy, which was too abnormal.
"Then what do you want? You won't help our Rong family regardless of compensation, right?"
She asked guiltily, very afraid that the lion would speak loudly.
He smiled slightly, looked at her, and asked back, "At Shangyanshang, do you think I may be kind-hearted and do not want anything, and just help you through such a big difficulty?"
Don’t say he doesn’t believe it, even Rong Huazhen doesn’t believe it.
She had to take a deep breath and asked vigilantly: "What do you want? I agreed in advance that if your conditions are too harsh, we can't do it. If the agreement cannot be reached, then..."
Chong Tiange interrupted her, as if she was very disgusted with her nagging: "It's very simple. I only have two conditions. First, I will handle the matter of Xuyang Technology. Whether Rong Tian and I will fall in love or marry in the future does not need to be approved by any elders of the Rong family. In other words, as long as I am willing to marry and she is willing to marry, we can become legal couples anytime and anywhere. As Rong Tian's mother, you must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a mother, and you cannot use any reason to oppose her marriage when and where. If you listen, it's any reason."
He specially emphasized his tone to the four words "any reason" and looked at Rong Huazhen with a sharp look.
She was a little irritated by him and hesitated. Could it be that he already knew something...
