Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 39 Who said you could leave?
Some things, once they happen, are simply happened.

Especially between men and women.

The mere fact that they've kissed is enough to distinguish them from others.

And they did more than just kiss.

More than once.

There was no way to avoid it.

"What exactly does Mr. Yan want?" Tang Xu asked in a low voice.

Yan Shiyu's gaze lingered on her face. "I want to know too."

It is ambiguous and incomprehensible.

Just like every intimate encounter they had, it clearly happened, yet it always remained as elusive as the wind.

You can't touch it, and you can't grab it.

Just like this kiss.

No one knows how it started; all that remains is intuition and instinct.

Like a dream.

Until the sudden ringtone of the cell phone—

The two of them woke up at the same time.

This situation seemed familiar, and Tang Xu's thoughts drifted. She turned her head and reached for her phone.

Upon seeing Cheng Jin's name, Tang Xu quickly answered the phone.

"Ms. Tang, someone at the freight company is leading a disturbance, and the drivers are going on strike. You might need to handle it."

"I'll be right there."

Tang Xu quickly regained her senses, got off Yan Shiyu, and then looked at him, "Something happened at the company, I need to take care of it... Mr. Yan, you should go back first."

After saying this, Tang Xu turned around and went upstairs.

When she finished changing her clothes and came downstairs, Yan Shiyu was already standing outside the gate.

Seeing her with her hair tied up, dressed in a workwear jacket and jeans, Yan Shiyu slowly asked, "Want me to take you there?"

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No need, it's inconvenient. I can drive there myself."

After saying that, she glanced at him again, said "Goodbye," and hurriedly got into her car and drove away.

Tang Xu arrived at the freight yard in just twenty minutes.

Normally, this is the busiest time for freight yards, with a large number of trucks coming and going. But at this moment, dozens of trucks are parked motionless in the yard, and the drivers are gathered in the open space outside the office, talking excitedly about something.

The people they were addressing were Lu Xingyan and two freight company managers who had already arrived at the scene.

Through the crowd, Lu Xingyan quickly spotted Tang Xu, frowned, and turned to question Cheng Jin: "Did you tell her?"

Cheng Jin replied, "In this situation, it's impossible to calm them down without the Song family showing up. As you've seen, they don't trust outsiders at all."

As soon as the words were spoken, a driver spotted Tang Xu, and instantly everyone surrounded her, creating a chaotic scene.

Half an hour later, Tang Xu finally managed to quiet the crowd down.

The two addressed the concerns of the crowd one by one. Afterwards, Tang Xu had Lu Xingyan announce a series of new management measures, the use of terms like "technological means" and "real-time information" causing another uproar. "If anyone has any questions, we can explain them word by word," Tang Xu said. "Of course, if anyone feels they don't need an explanation, they can leave now. The resignation procedures will be handled according to the contract. I won't mistreat my father's long-time employees, but I will absolutely not allow anyone with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation!"

When Song Yuting was mentioned, many of the long-time employees fell silent.

"Fengzheng Freight is the starting point of Mr. Song's career and the cornerstone of the entire Song family. No matter how difficult the company is, we have never thought of giving up on Fengzheng, because of the promise Mr. Song made to you back then!" Tang Xu said firmly. "The new company policies are inevitable, but I can also guarantee that the new management policies will absolutely not violate the promise Mr. Song made back then!"

“Most of you have been with my father for many years. You are not only his employees but also his friends. You have been through a lot together. Some people have drifted apart, but many more have stayed. On behalf of Mr. Song, I thank you all for your contributions over the years. If anyone insists on leaving, I will also offer my sincerest blessings on behalf of Mr. Song.”

"Mr. Lu will now explain the new policy to everyone in detail. If anyone doesn't want to hear it, feel free to come to my office."

After saying these words in public, Tang Xu went into his office.

In the end, two people did walk into the office and talk to Tang Xu about the terms of leaving, but they were both people who had just joined the company in the last two years.

Those drivers who had served for many years eventually returned to their posts quietly.

When Lu Xingyan finally entered the office, he was completely parched and had to drink two large glasses of water before he felt a little better.

"You can tell that someone deliberately stirred up trouble and provoked these drivers to cause a disturbance, right?" Lu Xingyan asked. "Who benefits from something like this?"

Tang Xu sat cross-legged on the sofa and said slowly, "It may not be beneficial, but it will definitely make me uncomfortable."

"You suspect Jiang Muchen?"

“Besides him and the people connected to him, I can’t think of anyone else,” Tang Xu said. “Nobody has that much free time.”

Lu Xingyan muttered, "I told you not to marry him back then, but you wouldn't listen..."

Tang Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's a pity that life can't be relived. Do you think I don't regret getting to this point? Lu Xingyan, let me tell you a secret, I regret it more than anyone else."

Lu Xingyan realized he had said something wrong, so he sat down next to her and rubbed her head.

Just then, Cheng Jin strode in, saying, "I just overheard Luo Yi talking on the phone, and the person on the other end... seems to be someone from the Jiang family."

Luo Yi is one of Fengzheng's two managers.

"But strangely enough, Luo Yi seemed to have been criticized by the other party, who scolded him for acting on his own initiative."

Tang Xu paused, then suddenly laughed, "That's right, how could Jiang Muchen care about such trivial matters? He would only want to kill me directly."

“But if he really wanted to kill you, he could do it with the flick of a finger,” Lu Xingyan said.

“So he doesn’t even have to lift a finger now, and people will do things for him.” Tang Xu quickly composed himself and said, “I now suspect that, in the series of misfortunes that have befallen the Song family since a year ago, Jiang Muchen’s actions may have been more than just standing by and watching.”

Lu Xingyan and she exchanged a glance. "If that's really the case, then it's definitely worth investigating."

Cheng Jin frowned deeply. "Is there any point in investigating? If Jiang Muchen really was the mastermind, pushing the Song family to its current state step by step, then everything we've done is just a desperate struggle. Is there any hope for the Song family?"

"You're such a pessimist," Tang Xu said, looking at him with a gentle smile. "He hates me so much, yet I'm still alive. How can that not mean there's hope in the world?"

"Then why did it start a year ago?" Lu Xingyan asked. "What happened a year ago that made him have this idea? What did you do?"

Both men's gazes fell on Tang Xu.

Tang Xu shrugged. "What if I say I didn't do anything? Jiang Muchen's thoughts are impossible to fathom with normal thinking."

Tang Xu never expected that the day after she said those words, she would meet a Jiang Muchen who was behaving extremely abnormally.

Tang Xu: I got up suddenly and saw a deadly weapon.
