Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1205: Rejecting Everyone
It was late at night when Duanmu Lin left South Gate Town with complex emotions. He needed time to digest what Tang Xiu had told him. He no longer cared about the incidents that had happened in Star City and, ever since he knew Tang Xiu, he was very clear in terms of whatever he did. At the very least, he would never do anything dangerous for the country.
That ... was enough for him!

Tang Xiu rushed to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital the next morning. Long Zhengyu had yet to wake up and Tang Xiu checked his condition again to make sure his system function gradually recovered and his injuries did not get worse. Only after he finished the examination did he finally feel relieved.
Before long, he headed to the Magnificent Tang Corporation and issued a series of orders, saying, one of them was to send several people to various countries around the world to investigate the background of the multinational companies that came to Star City.
Three days later, he contacted Jezek and asked him to find the results of the investigation. The man told her that he had not found the person who had secretly recorded the video. Tang Xiu immediately expressed his anger and told Jezek to immediately stop his investigation and that he would investigate it himself. He also told the man directly that the Magnificent Tang Corporation would never cooperate with the Dandelion Group.
Soon after, he held a plenary meeting to invite all the vice heads of companies from different countries to come to the Magnificent Tang Corporation's website.
Inside a conference room large enough to accommodate thousands of people, the chief representatives of all the companies sat quietly in the auditorium and waited for Tang Xiu's arrival. No one spoke and there was no exchange between them. The whole atmosphere felt heavy and quiet.
Crunched…
When the door to the conference room opened from the outside, 8 strong men quickly entered the hall and lined up in two rows. Tang Xiu was accompanied by Kang Xia and headed straight for the stage. His eyes coldly swept across the audience before he slowly started his speech. “Welcome to Magnificent Tang Corporation, Father and Mother.”
Clap clap…
An enthusiastic applause exploded and only gradually disappeared as Tang Xiu raised his hand.
Tang Xiu continued, “I am well aware of the purpose of everyone coming to China and I am very confident that you are all optimistic to cooperate with my Tang Magnificent Company. Before this, I was ready to sign partnerships with several companies here because each company does have an extraordinary capital.
“However, you must have heard about the recent incident in Star City as well. My best friend, Long Zhengyu, who was also the successor of Long Group, was seriously injured on his own site. He's still unconscious now. I was very angry when I found out about it, but I had to suppress that anger because the people who hurt him were just like you — or rather, just like you, my company friends who came here for my company.
“I also helped free the attacker who came from Harbo Group and squeezed my time to visit House Long residence with William from this company. I was exhausted in the negotiations and the help I had to pay for it and it was only then that I could barely help William free this man.
“I think that is the end of this incident. I really did.
“But what happens next? Just a few days ago, the representatives of the four companies led a group of martial artists under them and engaged in some mortal battles! Six bodies were even found in a hotel like Long’s Dining Hall! Now I want to ask you something here. Even after the Magnificent Tang Corporation issued the announcement, some people still acted in a foolish and careless manner. Do you think the honor of my company is so worthless that you can only make a big incident in Star City? Do you think Tang Xiu's words were so worthless that you could turn a deaf ear? ”
The anger in Tang Xiu's eyes seemed even stronger as he spoke up to this point. He tightly clenched his fists and punched the table firmly and shouted, “I am now very angry that Chinese officials are now trying to pressure us, he said, saying that we should pay attention to the public order and social stability of Star City and to never cooperate with gangsters and the like!
“Because of that, I will announce my attitude seriously to everyone now. Magnificent Tang Corporation will NOT cooperate with any foreign company for now. Even if you put a mountain of gold before my eyes, you can hope to accept my refusal! ”
Just as his voice faded, all the representatives in the conference hall suddenly rose at that moment with disbelief on their faces. Many of them had an annoyed expression.
“But we have nothing to do with this incident, Mr Tang! You can't just deny us that! We always respect the laws of your country and make every effort to prepare whatever we can, hoping that we can cooperate with the Magnificent Tang Company. ”
“Pak. Tang, those four American companies are indeed unreasonable! They take your words as a spectacle and should be punished. I think it's right for your company not to cooperate with them. But we did nothing wrong and even poured all our energy into reaching an agreement with your company. So please take back your statement and give us a chance. I believe my terms will satisfy you! ”
“Please don't act on impulse, Mr. Tang. We are all entrepreneurs and cooperation is what we do to make wealth together. You just have to ignore those who don't follow the rules and play gangsters like them. ”
“Please take back what you just said, Boss Tang. We really came with sincerity and goodwill. ”
“Pak. Odor..”
Many representatives spoke with anticipation on their faces.
The meeting quickly ended with all the representatives feeling angry. But Tang Xiu's reason was indisputable, so no one dared to jump out and face him even though they were dissatisfied. Even these people wisely shut their mouths.
Shortly after, everyone together held a banquet at Long’s Dining Hall and invited Tang Xiu to attend. Tang Xiu did not resist at this time and engaged in friendly chatter and toast with this representative, and simply did not mention anything about cooperation.
And thus, representatives of these companies from all over the world led their teams and left, and Star City suddenly calmed down for a while.
However, this representative did not know that as soon as they left, Tang Xiu ordered some people from his company to go to various countries in secret to conduct an investigation over their company background. A series of information was then transmitted continuously for the next month, which was the subject of analysis by Tang Xiu, Kang Xia, and the top executives of the Magnificent Tang Corporation.
The situation in China is calm, but thousands of miles away in the United States, waves of undercurrents are moving in the dark. Whether it was the people of Harbo, Dandelion or others from other companies, as well as the great figures behind them, they all issued orders to attack their enemies, be it openly or secretly.
And thus, a brutal and ruthless battle began beneath the surface.
Tang Xiu himself received the information in Star City and learned that the Stygian Club and the Pyramids were involved in at least a dozen battles in just a month. Moreover, another variable that Tang Xiu did not expect was the involvement of the League of Archcrusaders in the terrain. They even secretly cooperated with the Pyramid people, resulting in great losses for the Stygian Club.
“Start operation!”
While living in Star City, Tang Xiu gave orders to the sleeping Tang Sect disciples in the United States. Then, nearly 100 experts from the Tang Sect immediately moved to execute a series of plans after receiving the order.
Adding fuel to the fire, framing and making the other party a scapegoat.
Ploys may seem despicable, but they produce very remarkable results and eventually lead to more severe friction between the three forces. Even the most serious clashes resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.
During this period, a message quickly expanded across the globe, even to some small, remote country, that the Magnificent Tang Corporation and Grand Fortune Jewelry jointly set up a large auction house and would hold an unprecedented grand auction on December 1st in Shanghai. The presence of the auction itself is free for anyone and any team, with the only condition that they have to prepare a cash of at least 9 figures.
Shortly after, other news spread that the threshold was raised because too many wealthy people who had relationships with both companies wanted to attend the unprecedented auction. Thus, the threshold was raised to over 300 million in liquid cash. But for participants and teams who had signed up first, they were still within the original 100 million threshold.
On November 20, Tang Xiu returned to Shanghai because the auction would be held soon. He invited some business friends in China in person and freed them from the doorway along with others invited by him. Even then, most of these people still had a net worth of at least several billion yuan.
Shanghai
Inside the luxurious villa in the Bluestar Villa Complex, Tang Xiu rubbed his temple with some headaches while looking at Andy, who was acting like a cute girl. Sitting on the sofa opposite Andy was Mu Wanying, while Ouyang Lulu sat on the other side, unhappily grinning with one of her legs above the other.
“Uh, well, you guys can chat. I still have a lot to tend to. ”
Tang Xiu was really reluctant to stay here. After leaving the Bluestar Villa Complex at an extremely fast speed as if he was running away from something, only then did he finally feel relieved silently.
He believed the three queens would not start World War III because they were in his home, so they would at least tolerate each other no matter how noisy their quarrels were.
“Where should I go ...?”
Tang Xiu's face looked a bit dull as he stood at the entrance of the Bluestar Villa Complex and looked at the cars coming and going on the road. Only then did he realize that he had nowhere to go.
Ring, ring, ring…
The crisp ringtone of his mobile phone rang, so he immediately took it out and looked at the caller on the screen. The caller turned out to be Jin Xingkui.
“What's up, Brother Jin?” tang Xiu asked directly after she picked up the phone.
“I've called you since I heard you have returned to Shanghai, Brother Tang,” Jin Xingkui replied in a happy tone. “By the way, do you have time so we can drink a few glasses?”
