"Hey, I'm Chen Yang. I can agree to help the family, but I have two conditions that you have to meet."

"First, get me one of the Sky City necklaces designed by Alan, a French jewelry designer. Second, is there anyone named Wei Mingdong working for our family? I want to see him go bankrupt."

Chen Yang hung up, not caring if the other person had heard him clearly.

At that moment, his phone vibrated, and he received a message from Su Miao. "Chen Yang, go buy a new set of clothes for the Su family's annual meeting tonight. Don't embarrass me."

The Fugui Villa of Xichuan City was the meeting place for the rich. Those who lived here were either rich or holding power. Even if someone had money, they might not be able to buy a villa here.

This was where the head of the family and Chen Yang met.

Chen Yang casually reclined on the couch. The head of the Chen family, Chen Tianzong, was sitting opposite him. This man was his second uncle.

Looking at Chen Yang's bohemian attitude, Chen Tianzong smiled. "Yang, it's been two years since we last met. You haven't changed at all."

"Second Uncle, let's not digress. I'm busy tonight. Just tell me how much money the family needs." Chen Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Well..." As the head of the family, Chen Tianzong had seen all sorts of things. But now, he was a little reserved. He seemed embarrassed that he had to beg his junior.

"About 5 billion."

Five billion?!

"Second Uncle, my wife is urging me to go home for dinner. Let's talk another time." Chen Yang stood up from the recliner and was about to leave.

"Yang." Chen Tianzong became restless and quickly stood in front of him. He said urgently, "The family is at a critical juncture right now. If we do not get the funds, the efforts of several generations will be in vain! And, the two conditions you mentioned, I agree with both. Wei Mingdong won't have a stiver tonight and the necklace you want is already on its way. It should be delivered to you shortly."

"Second Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you, but where would I get so much money from?" Chen Yang spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Yang, do you have the heart to watch the family that gave birth to you collapse? You have 6 billion in your bank account!" Chen Tianzong tried to reason with him and said emotionally, "You are still the son of the Chen family."

Chen Yang was smiling, but when Chen Tianzong said this, the smile on his face slowly faded. He said, "Second Uncle, two years ago, I bought some Jiangnan Energy Shares, and my cousin accused me of making black transactions and embezzling the family funds. Hundreds of people from the Chen family took the opportunity to slander me. They kicked me and my parents out like we were dogs. Did someone stand up for me and say something?"

"As head of the Chen family, didn't you know how much money I've earned for the family all these years? Moreover, the 20 million I spent to buy those shares were earned through my own efforts. That money did not belong to the Chen family."

"I have been married into the Su family for the past two years and have lived a worse life than a dog. Has anyone from the Chen family ever come to see me?"

"If it weren't for this financial crisis, I'm afraid you would all have forgotten about me!" Chen Yang clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. It was obvious that he was trying his best to restrain himself.

"Yang, what we did to you in the past was wrong. I apologize on behalf of the Chen family. Now that the family faces this crisis, we really need this money."

Seeing that Chen Yang was still indifferent, Chen Tianlong took a step forward and grabbed his arm. He said word for word, “Yang, as long as you are willing to help the Chen family get through this crisis, I can make the decision to let you become the president of the Huanyu Group. You can take this position tomorrow. Someone will come to pick you up at that time."

Huanyu Group was the entertainment company with the greatest potential, wholly owned by the Chen family.

The company now had a few top celebrities, second-rate stars as well as many rising young stars.

All this time, the Huanyu Group had been managed by his cousin, Chen Quan.

He was actually willing to give this company to him. This showed that the crisis facing the Chen family was severe.

"Alright then, we'll do as you say." Chen Yang thought for a moment and agreed.

In fact, it was not worth buying Huanyu Group for 5 billion. But as the head of a family, he was so humble now, coupled with the fact that Chen Tianlong was his senior, Chen Yang decided to help him this time.

After saying that, Chen Yang left.

Tonight was the annual meeting of the Su family, but before that, there was another important event, namely the reunion of classmates.

The reunion was about to begin, so he couldn't be late.

He hadn't contacted his high school friends in so many years. He really missed them.

The entire class would be present at this reunion. It was said that even their beautiful teacher-in-charge would be there. He couldn't be late.

At the same time, in the Weimiao Company.

Su Miao, who had just finished chairing the shareholders' meeting, walked out of the office and saw some employees looking at their phones as they talked and laughed.

She frowned. Why weren't they doing their jobs during working hours?

Su Miao walked over and found out that they were watching a video together on their mobile phones. The person in the video was Chen Yang.

"Don't worry. I will definitely take revenge for you!"

In the video, Chen Yang carefully lifted the electric scooter, full of indignation.

"Where did this weirdo come from? This is so funny!"

"This weirdo you are talking about is President Su's husband."

"What? That trashy man that lives on President Su's back? I thought it was a false rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

The women gathered in a circle and mocked as they watched the video on their phones.

At this moment, a woman put down her phone and said mysteriously, "You don't know what I saw when I came this morning."

"What did you see? Tell us quickly." The women looked at her curiously.

"Here is the thing..." The woman stood up and began to speak without pause. She told them everything that happened. When she said how Chen Yang boasted that he would buy Sky City for Su Miao, they all laughed out loud.

"Haha, with this country bumpkin look, how can he afford the Sky City? This is definitely the funniest joke I have heard this year."

"That's right, a useless man who relies on his wife wants to buy a $20 million Sky City? Could he be crazy?"

As they were gossiping, one of the girls turned to take her bag and happened to see Su Miao behind her.

The girl was shocked, and the others, feeling that something was wrong, looked back one after the other. When they turned, their expressions changed instantly.

"President Su, we..."

They were speechless. One of the girls was relatively timid, and when she saw Su Miao's angry gaze, tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Go back to work." Su Miao just turned around and left.

After returning to her office, Su Miao's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip. She felt very shameful! She was the president, but her family scandal had already spread in the company. What kind of prestige would she have to run the company in the future? For a moment, her heart was in a mess.

Meantime, Chen Yang returned home happy. When he entered the door, he saw his mother-in-law, Tang Jing, sitting on the couch with her legs crossed. She looked at him coldly. "You come back just in time. Come over. I have something to tell you."
