Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

After He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru went up the mountain, they were swaying in the car for a long time. They returned home under the cover of night. He Yuzhu acted as if nothing had happened, but Chen Xueru was different.

I'm a traditional woman after all, and after all this, I feel like I've been discovered. I feel uncomfortable all over. But then again, it's actually pretty exciting!
He Yuzhu really knows how to play the game. We can't just not revisit it in the future, right? Hehe... Just thinking about it makes me smug. Cai Qiuyue definitely hasn't tried anything like this before. I have to find a time to reveal it to her!
Tao Wei also received news that Bang Geng was eating peanuts and that all of Polar Bear's frozen assets had been confiscated. The thought of all his years of hard work going down the drain was extremely upsetting, so he came to Dong Yong's villa again!

"Brother Tao, what's wrong with you? If you want to drink, you shouldn't go to a bar. Where can you find girls that are so attractive? They're much better than the ones I'm drowning my sorrows in here. What happened?"

Dong Yong thought He Yuzhu had already taken action. He hoped that Tao Wei would go bankrupt sooner so that he could have some peace and quiet. Tao Wei's constant nagging was driving him crazy!
"Heh... You still have the mood? I wasn't even in the mood when Zhou Mei from He's Entertainment threw herself at me. Now that news of the Polar Bear has come, my white glove has been slapped on the wrist, and my frozen assets have been confiscated!"

"Not only have all these years of hard work gone down the drain, but the family's vitality in Polar Bear has also been destroyed. Haha... I really am a spendthrift. More than 20 million US dollars just disappeared like that. It's so damn unreasonable!"

"If this were Hong Kong, I would definitely assemble the strongest legal team. Unfortunately, this is a polar bear. This is just too unreasonable! The one who committed the crime is Bang Geng, not me, hehe..."

Tao Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly. Even mobilizing all his family's connections hadn't solved the problem. In other words, from now on, he couldn't count on Polar Bear anymore. As for those guys who were supposed to share the money, they were all descendants of his grandfather's classmates. They were eager to treat him to meals when it came to the money, but now they weren't answering his phone!

"Brother Tao, is it really that serious? Is there no reasoning here? Even with all your connections, no one put in a good word for you?"

Dong Yong was secretly alarmed. Just how powerful was He Yuzhu in the Polar Bear organization? It probably wasn't just about Elena, was it?

No matter how much power a woman has, she shouldn't be able to influence the decisions made above. Elena is very strong, but after all, she is only a woman under forty. Her influence is great but limited. There must be other forces behind her!
It's laughable that the young cook from back then has accumulated so much strength without realizing it, while I haven't made any progress over the years except for swallowing up the Wu family's businesses!

"Hmph, these people were so eager to divide the money, but now they won't even answer the phone. Some said their families warned them not to get involved in this and told them to stop looking for them. Their frozen accounts are empty; Elena has taken it all!"

"Relationships? Favors? They're useless in real times. The Tao family has suffered such a blow, making their path to resurgence seem increasingly distant, and things will likely get even harder in the future!"

"Now, the only chance is to take over the Lou family. Let me tell you, the Lou family's real clients aren't Singapore or the Philippines, but China. If we take over the Lou family, we'll have a chance to return to China!" "Therefore, you must help me with this. He's Investment has also set its sights on the Lou family. It might be a lot of pressure for me to take it over by myself. I'll give you 20% of the shares, how about that?"

After the polar bear incident, Tao Wei still felt that Swiss banks were the most reliable. At least, the polar bear failed to freeze Swiss bank accounts, which shows that this neutral bank is still very reliable. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so you have to keep some trump cards up your sleeve!
However, if he couldn't mobilize all the funds from the Swiss bank, he would be in a bit of a bind. Therefore, he thought of Dong Yong, his former henchman. In his memory, Dong Yong had never refused him, and even hoped that he would make a request, as it would definitely be granted!

"Brother Tao, Young Master Li has opened several construction sites, and I've invested all my working capital in them. Now I don't have enough funds to participate. I even considered negotiating a mortgage loan with Citibank to keep the company running. I really can't participate this time!"

Dong Yong sneered, "You don't even know what kind of enemy you're facing, yet you dare to compete with the He family? Don't you know that this is the grave that He Yuzhu has dug for you? Now everything is ready, just waiting for you to jump in. A wise man knows when to yield, and I don't want to gamble the last bit of the Dong family's strength with you at this time!"
The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. In He's eyes, you're just a grasshopper, jumping around happily, but actually, they've already laid out a big net waiting for you to jump in. I must be crazy to play along with you. Sorry!
"Dong Yong, what's wrong with you? You used to serve me like a servant, and now that I finally need your help, you're putting on airs? That's not appropriate, is it?"

"The Dong family has indeed become Li Shao's vassal, but my relationship with Li Shao is a legacy from the previous generation. If I am not happy, can you still cooperate?"

Tao Wei's face was very unpleasant. Did he not know whether Dong Yong had money or not? Young Master Li had indeed started quite a few projects, but the Li family would never default on payments. According to Young Master Li's reliable information, Dong Yong could come up with at least three million US dollars, and that was already a conservative estimate!
"Hehe... My cooperation with the Li family didn't benefit from your Tao family's connections. If you can get Young Master Li to terminate the contract with me, then try it. Money is the hard currency. I can't just use the Dong family to play games with you, can I? Brother Tao, since that's the case, I won't entertain you any further. Take care!"

Dong Yong's eyes were cold, and a mocking smile played on his lips. "I used to serve you faithfully, but that was because the Tao family was the most powerful family in the capital. Now, you, Tao Wei, are a stray dog, yet you foolishly dream of becoming the most important young master of the Tao family. Not only have you provoked the powerful He family, but you also have the audacity to speak so arrogantly. What great things can such a fool accomplish?"

"Dong Yong, are you trying to kick me out? Haha... You dare to disregard me? You dog, do you really think you can rise up from the serfs and sing songs of triumph? That's fucking hilarious!"

Tao Wei smashed the wine glass on the floor and stormed off. He thought he could get Dong Yong to cooperate with just a few words, but he was rejected. If all else failed, he would have to take out the money from the Swiss bank. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Dong Yong, you just wait!

"Young Master Li, hehe, I'm sorry to have taken up your time. Dong Yong isn't being very obedient these days. I hope you can help me give him a good talking-to, considering our family relationship!"

An angry Tao Wei made a phone call to Li Dashao, his tone extremely respectful, completely unlike Dong Yongqian's sense of superiority!
"Young Master Tao, are you planning to use up your last favor? The Dong family is very important to the project; if we don't cooperate, we'll have to find another company, and the loss will be considerable!" (End of Chapter)
