Chapter 307 Partial To Yiling (1/2)
Tang Bingyi was a very calm person; she seldom showed happiness and she seldom got mad. But today was different.
”Grandfather, why did you allow Yiling to do such stupid things consecutively?! The company stock has dropped by 5% and people are beginning to think we've compromised our ideals!” Tang Bingyi practically shrieked.
Elder Kang was sure that he knew that Tang Bingyi was calling him for, but when he picked up the phone and heard her voice consumed with anger, he didn't know what to say or what to do.
The company was important to Elder Tang, and now that she managed it, it was important to Tang Bingyi also. In all it's years, the company had always been on top, and Tang Bingyi would be damned if it fell from its perch in her reign.
Tang Bingyi needed to fix this, as fast as possible.
Elder Tang was angry at Tang Yiling also, and he wanted to fix the problem but all that swarmed in his head were complaints of Tang Yiling... He wanted to speak to Tang Bingyi about them, but he did not want to add fuel to the anger between cousins so he said, ”I'm sure it's not that bad... we should be able to fix it.”
”Statistically speaking, yes, this can be fixed but our reputation will never be the same.” After saying this, Tang Bingyi paused. ”I sent you a link to what the netizens have been saying about us. Tell me if you think you have any idea about how to proceed. Although, before I can do anything, I need some answers in order to make a peoper decision regarding the situation.” Tang Bingyi said coldly.
Hearing this, the elder nodded and then, he explained all he knew about the situation. Frankly, he didn't know much. He knew what had happened, but he didn't know how Tang Yiling had accomplished getting the performance moved or the judging changed...
Did the girl have talents he didn't know about?
Tang Yiling was a people person who knew how to be likeable but she was not memorable in the slightest. Unlike Tang Bingyi, the girl used shallow or underhanded methods so people would remember her. This focused primarily on Tang Yiling giving others gifts or special privileges.
Finding the contact information of the judges of Trailblazers was hard. This had forced her to go look through her father's phone but after that, speaking to them, and then bribing them, was like a walk in the park. She was in her comfort zone.
Elder Tang didn't know this about Tang Yiling, he never quite paid much attention to how she was at making friends since the girl seemed to always be surrounded by them, on the other hand, Tang Bingyi always found herself alone. The old man had thought that Tang Yiling was fine and so he paid more attention to Tang Bingyi but truly, her heart had darkened due to this. Tang Yiling wanted to be the centre of everyone's attention...
After she had heard enough from Elder Tang concerning what Tang Yiling had done, Tang Bingyi frowned before she spoke with distaste. ”Yiling knew exactly what she was doing. She should be disciplined”
Elder Tang: ”I know... but this will be something for Yian and me to decide.”
When he finished saying this, Elder Tang heard a sound that he couldn't believe came from Tang Bingyi.
Tsk!
The girl had just clicked her tongue!
”Grandfather, you know Uncle. When it comes to music he's harsh, but when it comes to life, he is too partial to Yiling. He's going to try to play it off as no big deal and then sooner or later it will become a problem for not only the company but the family itself.” Tang Bingyi said.
Tang Bingyi's words were harsh, but they were also so calm and formal. This made it hard for the old man to disagree.
Concerning how he would make sure that Tang Yiling was punished, he had a lot of thinking to do... Elder Tang did not want to make another mistake which would lead to Tang Yian leaving again. He had really regretted kicking both Tang Yian and Tang Lang all those years ago. Sometimes he thought that if he hadn't done that, both his sons would have not faced misfortune.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Tang Luoyi was drinking tea with a smug smile plastered on his thin lips.
He had caused trouble for Tang Yiling, but Tang Yiling had caused trouble for Tang Bingyi. Tang Luoyi wanted to laugh. This situation only left him as the only one who benefitted.
Due to Tang Yiling's stupidity, she had hurt the company stocks, which in turn triggered articles and comments revolving around how Tang Bingyi could not properly manage the company or her own family.
Reading the netizens comments, Tang Luoyi felt a bit bad but this is what Tang Bingyi got for stealing his place in both the company and in the family.
