Chapter 138: I'd never be the chairman anyway

  Tang Xiaosheng and Long Tianhao chatted until after eight o'clock in the evening. It was clear that Long Tianhao really missed Long Xiaoxue, as he spent more than half of the time asking about her.

  After learning about Long Xiaoxue's recent situation, Long Tianhao asked: "Lan Tian Entertainment seems to be preparing to claim 10 million yuan in breach of contract from you. I have some connections with Lan Tian Entertainment's boss Li Tieshen, do you want..."

  "No need, Mr. Long, I can handle this myself." Tang Xiaosheng hastily interrupted.

  "Don't be polite to me, if you're not doing well, Xiaoxue won't be at peace either. Besides, there's still Rong'er now, I just hope that the three of you can live a more stable life." Long Tianhao explained.

  Long Tianhao's attitude suddenly changed so much, Tang Xiaosheng was a bit unaccustomed to it. He also knew that if Long Tianhao really stepped forward, the matter of breach of contract could be settled with ease, and even if he really needed to compensate 10 million, it would be insignificant for Long Tianhao.

  Tang Xiaosheng still hopes to solve his own problems, so he said: "I did indeed breach the contract first, and Blue Sky Entertainment is asking me for liquidated damages, which is reasonable. As for the specific amount of liquidated damages, I have consulted with a lawyer, and it will not exceed 2 million at most, which I can afford to pay temporarily."

  "You're too honest for your own good!" Long Tianhao understood what he meant and didn't say anything else, instead asking, "What are your plans from now on?"

  Tang Xiaosheng replied, "Recently, several martial arts instructors in the film and television city are preparing to establish a 'Wu Xing Association', I may participate in the organization work of this association. Afterwards, if there is a suitable script, I will consider acting again."

  "Are you still planning to stay in the entertainment industry?"

  Long Tianhao was a bit unexpected, because Tang Xiaosheng's reputation and popularity should have been greatly reduced due to the private birth of his daughter. If he continued to stay in the entertainment circle, it would not be easy. Moreover, for an actor like Tang Xiaosheng who is so young, getting married and having children early on makes it really difficult to become a big star. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there isn't even one successful example.

  Long Tianhao sank his voice and said slowly: "You can really consider coming to the Longshi Group to take a look, your brain is not bad, you are also very calm, quite suitable for doing real estate."

  Actually, when Long Tianhao first met Tang Xiaosheng, he had a good impression of him. Last year, when the two first met at the foot of Nanfeng Mountain, Tang Xiaosheng was just an unknown actor, but when he stood in front of Long Tianhao, not only did he show no weakness, but also confidently promised to bring happiness to Long Xiaoxue within two years. And he indeed kept his promise, and in less than a year's time, he made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

  Later, Long Tianhao tried to get Tang Xiaosheng away from Long Xiaoxue by making him lose his job one after another, almost forcing his life into desperation. However, Tang Xiaosheng never compromised. At that time, Long Tianhao felt that this young man was indeed quite resilient.

  It wasn't until after Tang Xiaosheng was wrongly imprisoned for the Xia Bai murder case that Long Tianhao began to appreciate him. At the time, all sorts of unfavorable evidence emerged one after another, and Tang Xiaosheng faced the possibility of being sentenced to death, with almost no way out. In such a desperate situation, if it were an ordinary person, their emotions might have collapsed long ago. However, Tang Xiaosheng was able to withstand such enormous pressure, calmly analyzing the situation, and ultimately relying on his acting skills to put on a great show of pretending to be crazy in front of all the citizens of Jinghua City.

  After seeing the news, Long Tianhao's evaluation of Tang Xiaosheng changed. Because he was very clear that if a person didn't have extraordinary courage, they couldn't do such things, especially since Tang Xiaosheng was only 22 years old at the time and just a young man, to have such an achievement was indeed very rare.

  It was precisely because of this that after Tang Xiaosheng's acquittal and release at the end of last year, Long Tianhao never bothered him again. He found three qualities he valued most in Tang Xiaosheng - confidence, resilience and courage.

  Long Tianhao himself is also a self-made man, he has always believed that the reason why he can establish the Longshi Group is because of "confidence, tenacity and courage".

  On Tang Xiaosheng, Long Tianhao saw his own shadow when he was young. And after discovering all this, Long Tianhao had actually slowly accepted Tang Xiaosheng in his heart. If Tang Xiaosheng really married Long Xiaoxue, Long Tianhao would really consider handing over the Long Group to Tang Xiaosheng.

  It seems that Tang Xiaosheng's mind has always been on filming, and he has no interest in real estate. Long Tianhao had to give up. Today, Tang Xiaosheng has terminated his contract with the brokerage company, and Long Tianhao expressed this idea.

  As for Long Tianhao's idea, Tang Xiaosheng has always been very clear. He also had a clear understanding of his own ideas and slowly said: "Mr. Long, thank you for your trust. However, filming is my dream from childhood to adulthood. Even now, my greatest hobby is still filming, and I'm not too interested in other things."

  Upon hearing Tang Xiaosheng's polite refusal, Long Tianhao wasn't too surprised. He let out a long sigh and shook his head, remarking: "Some things are really quite laughable when you think about it. The Xia brothers, Bai and Yang, fought to the death over family assets. And me? I don't even know who to give my hundreds of billions to."

  After finishing speaking, Long Tianhao suddenly turned his head and looked at Little Huang Rong in Tang Xiaosheng's arms, saying: "Rong'er, will Grandpa hand over the Long Corporation to you to take charge of, okay?"

  Xiao Huang Rong's big eyes sparkled as she thought for a moment, then curiously asked: "What is the Longshi Group?"

  Long Tianhao explained to her: "The Longshi Group has a lot of money, all of which will be given to you to play with, and let you be the chairman!"

  "I'd never be the chairman!" Little Huang Rong thought for a moment and immediately refused, Xiaoqiong's nose twitched as she said in a childish voice, "Because I'm going to be the Fire Shadow's woman!"

  "Huoying? What thing?" Long Tianhao was slightly stunned.

  Xiao Huang Rong looked at him with a bit of disdain, her childish voice saying: "Don't you even know what the Hokage is? The Hokage is the strongest person in Konohagakure, and Uzumaki Naruto has always wanted to become the Hokage..."

  Ah!

  Xiao Huang Rong was explaining, when the living room door suddenly opened and a young man in his early twenties walked in. He had a clear brow and bright eyes, looking very handsome in his dazzling casual wear, with brand-name sneakers on his feet and a set of sports car keys in his hand.

  This young man is called Long Feihong, the only son of Long Tianhao, a prodigal son.

  Long Fei Hong is actually a pretty clever person, but he has no great ambitions. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't want to do anything else. Enjoying life is his greatest pursuit in life, and his greatest skill is flirting with girls.

  Long Tianhao had only one son, and he had also tried to let Long Feihong learn business, cultivating the future heir of the Longshi Group. Three years ago, after graduating from high school, Long Tianhao sent him to study at a university's business school in the United States. As a result, after staying in the US for two years, Long Feihong didn't learn anything, and when he returned home, he brought back three foreign girls, almost driving Long Tianhao mad with anger.

  For Long Feihong, this son who did not strive to make progress, Long Tianhao had beaten and scolded him, but there was no effect at all. Gradually, he himself also became disheartened and hopeless about his son.

  Long Fei Hong has his good points, apart from being a ladies' man, he is also very filial. He knows that his father, Long Tian Hao, likes living in this old house, so he gave up other more luxurious residences and moved here to live with him.

  Long Tianhao called out as soon as he saw Long Feihong return home: "Feihong, come here and meet your brother-in-law!"

  "Brother-in-law?" Long Feihong glanced at Tang Xiaosheng, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and blurted out, "Is that the actor who always plays the dragon suit role?"

  As for the romance between Long Xiaoxue and Tang Xiaosheng, Long Feihong still had some understanding of it. His impression of Tang Xiaosheng was that he was a young man who was out of his sister Long Xiaoxue's league, and in his heart, he looked down on Tang Xiaosheng somewhat.

  "What a rascal! No respect for elders or youngsters!" Long Tianhao saw Long Feihong being so rude to Tang Xiaosheng and scolded him, then pointed at Little Huang Rong and introduced her as "This is your sister's daughter."

  "Daughter? When did my sister give birth to a daughter?" Long Feihong's face was full of surprise, he hadn't seen today's news report yet and knew nothing about Long Xiaoxue's situation. He turned his head to look at Huang Rong and smiled, muttering to himself in disbelief, "So that means I'm an uncle now?"

  After finishing, Long Fei Hong walked towards Little Huang Rong, took a closer look at her small face, and couldn't help but praise, "No wonder she's my sister's daughter, she really looks lovely." Pausing for a moment, he asked softly, "Little friend, what's your name?"

  Xiao Huang Rong blinked her eyes and found that she didn't recognize the person in front of her. She pouted: "I won't tell you!"

  "What's the big secret? I'm your uncle! Oh my, this little face is so pretty! Come on, let me pinch it!" As he spoke, Long Fengying stretched out his right hand and reached for Little Huang Rong's face.

  Xiao Huang Rong hated being pinched on the cheeks by strangers the most. With a small slap, she pushed Long Feng Hong's right hand away and said in a childish voice: "You rascal, no respect for elders or young!"

  She just heard Long Tianhao say this once, so she remembered it.

  Long Tianhao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but burst out laughing and gave Huang Rong a big thumbs up: "Rong'er, well done! This scoundrel deserved to be scolded!"

  "My sister's daughter is too arrogant, she gave her uncle a warning as soon as they met!" Long Fei Hong also knew that children's words were innocent, and didn't get angry, instead he still wanted to pinch Xiao Huang Rong's cheeks.

  Xiao Huang Rong was done for now and immediately said to Tang Xiao Sheng: "Dad, let's go home and sleep!"

  Long Tianhao immediately said: "Rong'er, what home are you going back to? This is your home. Tonight, sleep with Grandpa."

  "No! I want to sleep with Daddy!" Little Huang Rong's stance was unusually firm.

  Because Little Huang Rong was a bit sleepy and didn't want to stay at the Long's house, Tang Xiao Sheng had no choice but to take her away. Before leaving, Long Tian Hao seemed reluctant to part with them, seeing them off all the way to their doorstep, and even instructed Tang Xiao Sheng to bring Little Huang Rong back for another visit on the next double rest day.

  After leaving the Long family, Tang Xiaosheng took Little Huang Rong back home. On the way home, Little Huang Rong suddenly asked: "Dad, I have a question, why do I have the surname Huang and you have the surname Tang?"

  Xiao Huang Rong did not know that her father was called Huang Yao Shi. It wasn't that she didn't remember, but rather she simply had no knowledge of it. Before the age of five, she had no relevant memories. On Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yao Shi's disciples all addressed him as "Shifu" (Master), and no one ever referred to him by his full name, so Xiao Huang Rong was also completely unaware of her father's name.

  It was only in today's kindergarten class that the teacher introduced that fathers and daughters have the same surname, so Little Huang Rong had such a question.

  Tang Xiaosheng explained: "Rong'er, Dad was originally surnamed Huang, but later changed it."

  "Why change?"

  "Because Father is too handsome, he's easily harassed by others, so he has to keep a low profile."

  "Oh. Father, I also want to conceal my surname and remain unknown."

  "Why?"

  "Because I'm too cute!"
