Chapter 427: Making Trouble
Walking inside from the side entrance, Tang Xiu looked at the companyâs top executives, wearing a faint smile on his handsome face. Although he basically didnât get himself involved in the operational management of the Magnificent Tang Corp, however, he had read the information about the companyâs top executives on theâ profiles Kang Xia gave him. Therefore, he could remember everyoneâs names, positions, and their traits and characteristics.
At this time, dozens of senior executives below the platform looked surprised, as it was hard for them to believe that Tang Xiu was their Boss. After all, Tang Xiu was way too young; even though he was very charmingly handsome and energetic.
âThis is our Boss? Chief Kang is joking with us, right? This young man looks to be in his early 20s. How could he be our Boss?â
âIs it a mistake or something? He canât be our Boss, right? Heâs way too young.â
âItâs indeed rumored that our companyâs Boss is very young. But to think heâs this young, this is unbelievable. Looking at his age, he seems to be a university student, right?â
âI heard that all the products of our corporation were researched and developed by our Big Boss. But heâs too young. How could he develop so many products?â
Amidst everyoneâs incredulous babblering, Kang Xia let out an enchanting smile, as she stood in front of the microphone, and then looked at Tang Xiu. She then chuckled and said, âEveryone, youâre not mistaken. Heâs our Magnificent Tang Corpâs Big Boss, Mr. Tang Xiu. I know that each and every one of you is very surprised and shocked. Regardless, however young he may be, heâs indeed the Magnificent Tang Corpâs Big Boss.
âYou shouldâve already learned that our Boss is usually very low-key and doesnât manage the operations of the company. It is not that he doesnât want to handle it, but itâs because heâs very busy. Apart from the Magnificent Tang Corpâs businesses, our Boss also has another business to manage. Therefore, if you have the ambition to step on a bigger stage, our Boss will give you the chance to have a more glorious and better future as well.
âAnd now, letâs have a few words from our Boss.â
While looking at Kang Xia, who gave him the speaking position, Tang Xiu immediately let out a smile. His eyes slowly swept across the audience, as he then said, âIâm aware of the current development of Magnificent Tang Corporation. Likewise, Iâm also very clear about the contribution made by all of you until now. I have to admit that Iâm very relieved to have handed over the company management affairs to Kang Xia, so I hope that all of you can strictly adhere and obey her instructions. Shortly put, her commands are on my behalf and are my commands as well. If⊠in case someone dares to disobey orders or abuses your power to seek personal gain, you will be directly driven away from the Magnificent Tang Corporation.
âSpeaking of this, those who are competent will be to stay, and those who are not will be dismissed. If youâre competent and able, the Magnificent Tang Corporation will give you a bigger stage for you to showcase yourself, as well as present you with an infinite future.â
After Tang Xiu spoke up to there, he took a moment of silence, as he then slowly said once again, âLast but not least, I would speak to you about tonightâs celebration banquet for our Magnificent Tang Corporation, for which is the recognition and approval of all of your achievements. Therefore, I hereby announce an increase in all senior executivesâ salaries by 10%.â
Right as Tang Xiuâs voice fell, dozens of top executives of the Magnificent Tang Corp looked pleasantly surprised as they looked at Tang Xiu with fervor and enthusiasm.
For them, Tang Xiuâs words of recognition were not at all on par with the money reward. They were all top executives of the Magnificent Tang Corp, and their salaries were already very good. Added with the bonuses, their salaries were already much higher than those of other big corporations. With the 10% increase now, the amount would surely increase even more.
Unbeknownst to all as to whom took the lead, all top executives in the entire banquet hall suddenly applauded simultaneously, making a loud and thunderous sound.
Following that, Tang Xiu gave his speech position to Kang Xia and left the stage.
âFirst of all, Iâm grateful and thankful to the Boss for his generosity. I believe everyone will work much more energetically in the future, right? Nevertheless, I hope that with the joint efforts of everyone in the future, our Magnificent Tang Corporationâs businesses will grow bigger and bigger. I hope to see our company go international and expand into every corner of the world.
âWell, since tonight is our celebration party, without further ado, everyone can start to eat and drink.â
After saying that, Kang Xia motioned for Andy.
With a smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, Andy came to the stage and said with a smile, âWell, Boss and Chief Kang didnât convey many words to us, but everyone must be very happy, right? Then, let tonightâs party start!!â
Soft and gentle crystal lights shined in every corner of the hall.
As the Magnificent Tang Corpâs Boss, Tang Xiu was naturally the person most sought out by everyone. Almost every top executive of the company came to Tang Xiu, wanting to talk with him and show themselves before their Boss. To everyoneâs surprise, Tang Xiu could accurately say each of their names, their positions, as well as recognized and encouraged them all for their works.
Half an hour later, a beautiful music reverberated, as the lights in the banquet hall turned colorful, multicolored lights that were a common part of every party -- the ball.
Dancing. It was something Tang Xiu was not good at.
Regardless, he still complied when Kang Xia invited him. Under Kang Xiaâs instructions, he only spent a small effort to turn himself into a qualified dancing partner.
The Jadewater Hallâs front door was trampled open, as more than 20 big men and a handsome young man aggressively stormed into the banquet hall, akin to ferocious wolves or tigers. The dancing top executives of the Tang Magnificent Corp had their expressions slightly changed. As the lights turned brighter, everyoneâs eyes landed on Chen Siâen, who was walking throught the front door.
Tang Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and released Kang Xiaâs supple, slender waist. He then strode toward Chen Siâen, whose expression was full of provocation.
âDid you come here to make trouble?â Tang Xiuâs voice was chilling.
Upon seeing Tang Xiu, Chen Siâen looked like he saw a mortal enemy.. His eyes turned scarlet, as tightly gripped his fists and ferociously glared at Tang Xiu, âYes! I came here to make trouble! Whereâs Andy? Get her here to see me!â
Andy walked over from the sideways. She then pointed at Chen Siâen and shouted, âChen! Siâen! It seems like you were beaten too lightly by me, huh? SCRAM! Or else, donât blame me if I beat you once again.â
Chen Siâenâs eyes twitched, and the anger in his eyes turned thicker. He stared at Andy and scornfully shouted, âAndy, thereâs something you donât know. This Chen Siâen has never failed to get something I want, never. Tonight Iâll give you a choice. Come with me, or I will smite this punk you call Boss. You only have half a minute to think.â
Glancing at the big and powerful men Chen Siâen brought, a timid look appeared on Andyâs face. However, as she recalled that Tang Xiu was there, the look quickly vanished. Just as she was about to speak, Tang Xiu stopped her.
While looking at Kang Xia, Tang Xiu chuckled and said, âHow much are the clothes I'm wearing now?â
âExcluding the watch, all of them amount to almost 300 thousand.â Clueless as to what Tang Xiu had in mind, Kang Xia still replied respectfully.
Tang Xiu nodded, as his gaze then shifted to Chen Siâen. He smiled lightly and said, âDid you hear it? The price of my clothes is about 300 thousand yuan. If it were to be stained by blood this evening, Iâd have to throw it out. Furthermore, the clothes Iâm wearing cost at least a hundred times that. So, have you decided yet? Fail in provoking me, and not only will you make a fool of yourself, youâll also get retribution, plus 30 million in compensation for the loss of my clothes.â
Chen Siâen laughed maniacally. Then, he said loudly, full of sarcasm, âYouâre mad. Do you think you can be arrogant before me just because youâre the Magnificent Tang Corpâs Boss? Canât you see what kind of situation you are in now? Hmph⊠youâre just an idiot in my eyes.â
At this time, the Magnificent Tang Corpâs top executives looked furious.
They were all the Magnificent Tang Corpâs top executives. For Chen Siâen to humiliate their Boss, it was akin to humiliating themselves. Although many of them knew that Chen Siâen was powerful in Star City, but they didnât have a good impression of him. After all, Chen Siâen had repeatedly come to the company just to pursue Andy, which caused many to loathe him.
Additionally, their Big Boss, Tang Xiu, had just increased their salaries. Hence, many of them prepared to call the police.
The slight smile on Tang Xiuâs face receded like a tidal wave. He calmly observed Chen Siâenâs domineering and arrogant act, and then asked, âAre you finished?â
âIâm done. Let Andy choose by herself.â Chen Siâen scornfully sneered, âEven if she chooses to go with me tonight, you will still end up beaten. Youâll obediently lie on the hospital bed for months.â
âWow, I was originally hesitating as whether to give you a beating.â Tang Xiu gave him a thumbs-up and sighed, âBut since you said this, I wonât stand on ceremony anymore.â
The moment he finished speaking, Tang Xiu instantly appeared in front of Chen Siâen, his fists straightly punching Chen Siâenâs face lightning fast.
A strong and agile figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Siâen. It was a man with stocky bear-like hips and tiger-like back - Qiu Jian - who was blocking Tang Xiuâs punch with his own fists. Despite being strong, his staggered backward after his fists clashed with Tang Xiuâs. His staggering posture hit Chen Siâen behind him and almost made him fall to the floor. His complexion drastically changed, yet he stayed in shape and stood firmly still, his eagle-like eyes fixedly staring at Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu slightly furrowed his brows, as he stood still and didnât move in the slightest. He looked at Qiu Jian with astonishment. He had never thought that this guyâs strength and speed would be unexpectedly this powerful. Had it been an average person with several hundred pounds weigh daring to resist his punch, they would have easily been sent flying.
However, he didnât hesitate even for a bit. After Qiu Jianâs figure stood firm, he dashed forward again. This time, he increased his speed and strength and instantly appeared in front of Qiu Jian. He shot a strong punch at Qiu Jianâs face. As the man was sent flying upside down, Tang Xiu raised his leg to kick Qiu Jianâs waist. Right after Qiu Jian was sent flying, Tang Xiuâs figure appeared once again in front of Chen Siâen.
âYou still dare to act arrogantly, despite bringing these worthless trash?â
Tang Xiu grabbed Chen Siâenâs shirt and immediately slapped him dozens of times. After beating him into a pig-headed state, he kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying backward eight meters away, as he then landed and fainted on the floor.
Upon seeing such a scene, the 20 big men brought by Chen Siâen instantly stormed toward Tang Xiu.
