Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

247 Setback Is Just Another Challenge 1

Two billion was nothing compared to what they could gain out of the partnership. Ye Xiaozu would surely be able to get back what he'd spent on the empress, if anything else.

"That… isn't that too much, Miss Tang?" President Ye questioned her.

Tang Moyu shrugged. She didn't care if he accepted her offer or not. If he was capable, he would have tried a different approach and presented something that Li Yuanyi could never deny.

Cheng Ning couldn't stop herself from laughing and coughed in her hand. How could she not know what her boss was thinking of at this very moment? She'd been working with the empress for over half a year now.

To think that over six months had already passed since Tang Moyu's return, there were so many things that had happened since then. From the moment she joined Tang Enterprise as Tang Moyu's assistant to the point where the company was acquired and was now flourishing through their hard work, Cheng Ning felt that she still had a lot to learn from the empress.

Cheng Ning's dream to work alongside the empress had come true. Despite their hectic schedule and tons of workload, her boss always made sure that she wasn't overworked and paid her generously.

Tang Moyu had been patient with her, especially when she was just starting. With the amount of mistakes she made in the past, it impressed her that instead of snapping at her, the empress had slowly taught her how to handle them. Even when Zhang Wuying had scalded her hand on her last visit, it was Tang Moyu who came to treat her burn.

"Cheng Ning, I don't need a perfect assistant. A loyal and competent one is enough for me. Each of us makes mistakes and that's alright, as long as you've learned something from it." Tang Moyu said when she tried to pass her resignation letter after she had accidentally deleted the reports that Tang Moyu and Gu Yuyao had been working on for two weeks. historical

She'd been in tears apologizing to the two women, who could only sigh and patted her shoulder. It turned out that Gu Yuyao had always kept copies of the reports she was working on, so there wasn't a need to redo everything from scratch.

"So don't apologize. Just make sure it won't happen again." She paused and looked outside the cloudless blue sky. "People think I'm smart and invincible, but I'm actually not. I can make mistakes like the rest. Do you understand what I mean, Miss Cheng?"

It wasn't that hard to work with the empress anyway. Tang Moyu never gave her a task that was impossible to be done by her. These past months working with her, Cheng Ning had known several things about the empress that the public hadn't known.

Aside from sweet desserts, the empress's other interest was to earn money and she would try her best to get the highest profit possible from every transaction that passed through her hands. How can she waste this rare opportunity to gain something from this favor Ye Xiaozu was asking of her?

So for Cheng Ning, hearing the empress demanding such a hefty amount of money from President Ye, it was either she wanted to earn the 'extra buck' as Tang Moyu calls it, or she was testing Ye Xiaozu's resolve.

The man was conflicted. Two billion dollars was a bit expensive for a favor he was asking her. The longer the issues dragged on, the more unsatisfied the board would be with his performance. Perhaps he should ask his Aunt Xixi's opinion over the matter. The old woman might know something that could help him.

Maybe only once he exhausted all avenues, would he seek Tang Moyu's assistance. .

"You think it's too much? Well, President Ye, I think you need to up your game if you want to prove yourself to everyone. You can't possibly ask someone for a favor whenever you encounter a setback." The empress replied coolly before pulling herself back on her feet, adjusting her coat.

"I'm sure you'll be able to find a better way to convince him. A setback is just another challenge. It is also an opportunity to perform at a new level. Two rejections aren't too much, so they shouldn't stop you, right?" She asked Ye Xiaozu.

President Ye also stood up from his seat and followed the empress's lead. Was this Tang Moyu's way to push him to try harder? That it's not impossible for him to convince Li Yuanyi?

She was right. He needed to understand Li Yuanyi well before he could present a convincing proposition.

Satisfied with what she'd seen so far, she thanked Ye Xiaozu for keeping the deal between their Ye Corporation and Tang Enterprise. This gave her enough time to focus on the rest of the contracts that Tang Zhelan had signed during her exile.

Just as they were about to leave the shopping mall entrance, a convoy of cars stopped in front of them before a familiar tall figure stepped out from it, dressed in an impeccable suit with a very dark pair of sunglasses on his face to protect him from the glaring sun.

Tang Moyu's eyes darkened upon recognizing who the person was. What the hell was he doing here? She didn't think she would be able to meet Feng Tianhua of all people at this place.

It had been months since she last saw him and Tang Moyu didn't think she should be acquainted with him outside their profession, now that she was dating his older brother.

"Moyu, I'm glad to see you here."
