Chapter 626: Chapter 609: Fake Imperial Edict?
Wang Wentao had just run out of the gates of Li Corporation and shouted furiously towards the opposite gates.
Startling Cao Pi, standing with arms folded at the gates of Tianyun International, into a shiver.
After recognizing who it was, Cao Pi’s expression returned to calm.
"Minister Wang, why are you shouting at me?"
"I’m not just going to shout at you, I’m going to kill you!" Wang Wentao was seething with anger.
At the moment he received Lilu’s call, he understood why he had felt so uneasy!
There wasn’t a single oversight in the preparations for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
But he didn’t account for two damn troubles that would arise out of nowhere, rendering all his meticulous preparations useless!
Recalling the call from earlier...
Wang Wentao felt a chill down his spine, the coldness surging from his feet up to his crown!
Daughter-in-law!
During the call, when Lilu asked him to handle this matter, she first explained the specific situation, and her final words were: "My daughter-in-law has been wronged, you’d better take care of it..."
The tone was extremely somber, carrying deep-seated anger!
But that wasn’t the key point.
The key point was... daughter-in-law!
Daughter-in-law!
Lilu’s son is the Crown Prince of Huaxia!
Liu Tianyun... naturally is the Crown Prince Consort!
No wonder Ye Qiqing and Lilu, the former and current chairwomen, personally instructed him to prepare carefully for Tianyun International’s entry into the Li Industrial Park...
And yet he messed it up...
No, he did well, it was just those two damn pieces of trouble that stirred up issues!
Wang Wentao looked at Liu Tianyun with an apologetic look, awkwardly said, "Crown Prince Consort... no, Liu... President Liu, please wait a moment, I will handle this matter."
Liu Tianyun nodded, stepping aside, knowing that Wang Wentao was the person Lilu had called to resolve this issue.
At that moment...
"Ring ring."
The phone rang.
Liu Tianyun took out her phone, answered the call, and her brows immediately raised: "Blocked outside the park and not allowed in? What’s the situation? Okay, I got it, you guys wait outside for now."
Wang Wentao’s heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "President Liu, what... what happened?"
"Holders of Tianyun International IC cards, that is, the over 500 employees of our company, have been blocked by the park’s property management at the entrance, not allowed to enter, saying the IC cards are not activated and won’t let them pass." Liu Tianyun’s expression was extremely unpleasant.
"President Liu, activating the IC cards is simple."
"Pay 6,666,666 yuan entry fee, and we will help activate the IC cards for Tianyun International’s employees."
Cao Pi said gleefully, this was his final plan.
No payment, no entry to the park, and Tianyun International wouldn’t be able to operate!
Considering Tianyun International’s scale, not operating would result in...
Not saying much, but a loss of eight to nine million each day is certain.
Cao Pi didn’t believe Liu Tianyun would refuse to pay in such circumstances.
Beside him, Wang Wentao almost fainted from anger.
He grabbed Cao Pi by the collar, spitting all over Cao Pi’s face: "Cao Pi, what are you doing!"
"Doing what?" Cao Pi sneered: "Wang Wentao, I just made things a bit difficult for the woman you’re keeping, is there a need to get so worked up?"
Keeping a woman?
If this rumor spreads...
The consequences are unimaginable!
"I truly want to kill you; what nonsense are you babbling about!" Wang Wentao had never cursed before, but today he was so angry he couldn’t help it.
"Why, you abuse your power for personal gain, using company resources to please Liu Tianyun, helping her company move into the Li Industrial Park is okay, but me saying a few things is not allowed?" Cao Pi complained discontentedly.
"I..."
Wang Wentao wanted to curse again.
But realized that cursing wouldn’t solve the problem.
He took a deep breath, his face extremely somber, and ordered:
"Tell those workers to stop sabotaging immediately!"
"Furthermore, activate all the IC cards for Tianyun International employees, let them in!"
"Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!"
The threatening undertone in Wang Wentao’s words was strong, but Cao Pi laughed twice upon hearing it.
"Haha!"
"Wang Wentao, I’ll bear the consequences? Do you know what my identity is!"
"Minister Wang, I advise you not to meddle!" From the crowd, Cao Cao walked out, stepped onto the steps, and stood next to Cao Pi, sneering: "My classmate’s big brother’s cousin’s nephew’s seventh maternal granduncle’s brother’s wife’s best friend just had dinner with Director Li. Your position as business minister is quite high, but to think you can oppose Director Li’s distant relative, which includes us, your status is lacking. Telling you now, you can’t protect Tianyun International today; we father and son just want to teach this woman, who rose through dubious ways, a lesson!"
"You’re outrageous!"
"Tianyun International was personally invited by Director Li and Director Ye to enter Li Industrial Park, and President Liu has extremely close relations with both Director Li and Director Ye!"
"Being so rude to her, to Tianyun International, is simply seeking death!"
Upon Wang Wentao’s words, Cao Cao and his father were stunned for a second.
Then, they came back to their senses.
Both father and son showed insidious smiles.
This Wang Wentao really resorted to all means to protect Tianyun International and Liu Tianyun.
How dare he lie that Tianyun International’s entry into Li Industrial Park was invited by these two big shots, and even said Liu Tianyun had extraordinary relationships with them?
Lying without even blinking!
Tianyun International? What is that, never heard of it before, how could they possibly get a nod from Lilu and Ye Qiqing?
Liu Tianyun? They investigated; she’s the eldest daughter of the Liu Family, one of the four major families in Celestial Sea.
Calling her the eldest daughter.
But compared to Lilu and Ye Qiqing, her status is miles apart!
How could Liu Tianyun have extraordinary relations with them?
Wang Wentao is falsely passing on orders!
And falsely passing on orders deserves "execution"!
"Wang Wentao, you’re a goner."
"Falsely passing on orders, right? I’ll report it immediately, I’ve been a deputy minister long enough, it’s time for a promotion..."
"Once you’re fired, I’ll take over."
"..."
Cao Cao laughed sinisterly.
Wang Wentao knew words wouldn’t make these two bastards stop, so he simply took out his phone and made a video call.
Soon, the call connected.
He pointed the phone screen at Cao Cao’s eyes.
"Wang Wentao, you didn’t expect your illustrious reputation to fall because of a woman, haha!"
"Once you’re fired, let’s see how miserable you are..."
"Moreover, I’ll make sure Liu Tianyun, I’ll make sure Tianyun International is severely punished and kicked out of Li Industrial Park..."
Cao Cao’s laughter faded as he continued.
He realized the woman on the phone screen looked familiar...
He rubbed his eyes, squinted, and focused.
Upon a clear look, he finally saw the woman’s face!
At that moment, Cao Cao’s obese body suddenly trembled!
Seeing the woman’s face was full of coldness and frost.
Cao Cao only felt a bone-chilling cold spread in his heart, as if he was plunged into an ice cave.
This woman is...
The former chairwoman of Li Corporation, the queen of Huaxia’s business world—
Lilu!
