Chapter 34: Can We Buy You as Our Daddy? (2)
For a moment, only the rain falling outside his apartment could be heard. Feng Tianyi glanced at Tang Moyu, seeing her in a trance . Something might have happened when she met her family for her to act like this.
If someone had told him before that he would be meeting the empress in this kind of circumstances; with her being inside his home, having a coffee with him, Feng Tianyi was sure he would laugh at their faces.
If it was the old Feng Tianyi, he would sneer at their words. He hated anything and anyone involved with his half-brother. He hated how everyone constantly compared him to that bastard.
He couldn't understand why Tang Moyu was back. Wasn't she afraid that his half-brother would come after her and harm her children? Also, didn't the Tang family turn their back on her in an attempt to save themselves from Feng Tianhua's wrath?
Looking at her face this close, it was obvious that she'd been working hard these days. There was a hint of darkening below her eyes and her skin paler than the first time he'd seen her.
"I've been thinking about your offer," his words broke the silence between them. He didn't realize the sigh of relief that passed from his lips when Tang Moyu didn't ignore him.
"What about it? Did you think of a fair offer to compensate the damages my children did on your work?" She asked.
"I do admit that I've lost a significant amount of money because of it," he started, seeing her face fell, Feng Tianyi couldn't help but inwardly chuckle. "It's impossible for me to rewrite everything from scratch under two weeks."
"Then… Can you tell me how much money you lost?"
"I don't think you would be able to compensate for it, Miss Tang." He said truthfully, but he couldn't possibly tell her that he'd recently lost millions because of little buns.
Tang Moyu's lips were pressed into a thin line in understanding, but what could she do to compensate for the damages?
"However, I have a proposition for you, Miss Tang. My manuscripts… It will take some time for me to rewrite it, and your children tried to sell you to me in return."
Tang Moyu gasped, not understanding what he meant.
"They did what?!" She blurted out.
"They tried to sell you to me, saying that it's a great deal."
Tang Moyu rubbed her temples and sighed. Just what had gotten into her naughty children to sell her to a man? Did they really think she needed a man in her life?
"I'm so sorry about that." If she was a person who easily gets flustered, she might have blushed in front of him. "So what's your proposition? Is there something else I can help you with?"
"First, I want to know the situation the Tang Enterprise is in. I want you to help me earn money. Your children bragged how you can help me financially."
Tang Moyu tapped the table with her fingers out of habit. Her eyes scanned Feng Tianyi's face for deception, but she couldn't come up with a conclusion. His face gave her nothing.
Just who he was to know her connection to the Tang Enterprise? How can a popular author like him know his way in the industry?
"But why Tang Enterprise? There are other companies that could help you double or triple your money." She pointed out. The Tang Enterprise was in dire situation and while she needed someone to invest in the remaining projects, there was still something she needed to do.
Feng Tianyi looked at her like she'd grown another head over her shoulder.
"Of course it's because it's managed by you. To compensate for my loss, you should be able to help me earn that money, don't you think?" He reminded her. "Unless you aren't planning to save the Tang Enterprise…"
At his words, Tang Moyu lowered her head slightly and let her lips curl into a sinister smile, surprising Feng Tianyi. This.. this could only mean one thing. Tang Moyu didn't come back to extend an olive branch to her family. She was here to get even with them!
"It's true that the Tang Enterprise is in dire situation and the stockholders would attempt to sell their shares soon…"
"And this is what you've been waiting for? You will strike when the iron is hot?" Feng Tianyi raised a brow. Somehow, he was amused to see this side of the fallen empress. She wasn't a pushover like everyone assumes her to be.
The Tang family should watch their backs! Because this time, the empress intends for them to suffer the same hardship she had five years ago.
Tang Moyu finished her tiramisu and cupped her chin.
"Well, I can help you, Mr. Qin, but you might need to wait for some time. I intend to take over the company. After all, I'm still a Tang and it's still my birthright to do so," she said without batting an eyelid. "So about your proposition…"
Feng Tianyi smirked. A deal with the fallen empress… this would help him destroy Feng Tianhua in the future.
"We'll start as soon as you've taken over the Tang Enterprise. Miss Tang, I'm buying your service for 100 million yuan. That's exactly the revenue I was expecting for my next book. I want you to triple the amount under one year."
"And if I fail?"
The empress raised a brow at him. One hundred million yuan was a big amount, and to triple it in under a year, that's quite a limited time and challenging at the same time. She could use that money to buy the shares from her relatives by using a shell company.
At first, she wondered if she should stop raising money for her children's trust fund, but since Qin Jiran was somehow extending a hand to help her, how could she say no to it?
Feng Tianyi shrugged. One hundred million yuan was nothing for someone like him, but he was curious how this empress would play her cards. It seemed like she knew the consequences of her return.
"An interest of 50% of the 100 million should apply, but I don't think you have to worry about it. Your children highly commend your ability to make money," he chuckled.
