Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Please Bring Back Su Ruoxue Immediately
"What did you say? Tianba Group wants to terminate our cooperation?"
Old Madam Su's aged face suddenly stiffened, revealing a plethora of wrinkles.
Su Tianhao couldn't believe his ears, he stared at this Su Family Elder and said, "Uncle Da, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why on earth would Tianba Group terminate our cooperation for no good reason?"
"I have no idea! Could it be because of Ruo Xue? After all, it was Ruo Xue who secured the contract!" the elder boldly speculated.
"That's very possible!" Old Madam Su panicked.
Su Tianhao was dumbstruck, "Grandma, should we give Chairman Li Changhong a call to confirm it?"
"Quick, get in touch with Chairman Li Changhong!" Old Madam Su said urgently.
Su Tianhao dared not hesitate any longer, he immediately took out his cell phone to contact Li Changhong, knowing very well that if Tianba Group terminated their cooperation with the Su family, the Su family's dream of becoming a first-rate clan would be utterly shattered.
"Hello? Who's this?"
The call was quickly answered, and Li Changhong's dull voice came through.
Upon hearing that, Old Madam Su said with a smile, "Chairman Li, it's Old Madam Su. We've just received some news that Tianba Group wants to terminate our cooperation with the Su family. Is this true?"
"Indeed, the order came from me personally. Is there a problem?" Li Changhong said coldly.
Looking shocked, Old Madam Su asked, "Chairman Li, our cooperation has just begun. Why terminate it? Is there something the Su family has not done well?"
"Hmph! Not done well? Shouldn't you be asking yourself that question?" Li Changhong's voice was exceptionally icy.
Hearing this, Old Madam Su guessed, "Chairman Li, could it be because of Su Ruoxue?"
"Old Madam, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you here! Let me be clear, the initial cooperation with your Su family was out of respect for Miss Su. I've just learned that you suspended her position, so what's the point of continuing our cooperation?" Li Changhong didn't give Old Madam Su any face.
Upon hearing it was because of Su Ruoxue, Old Madam Su's aged face turned white in an instant.
Li Changhong continued, "The only Su family member I recognize is Miss Su; no one else matters!"
"Chairman Li, don't you think you're underestimating my Su family? You really think we won't sue you? Don't forget, the contract has been signed!" Su Tianhao said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Li Changhong scoffed, "Threaten me? Go ahead! I'd like to see if you can win. A mere second-rate family dares to shout in my presence, Li Changhong? You must be tired of living! And to be honest, I really don't take your Su family seriously!"
"Daring to threaten me, just wait! With one phone call, I can blacklist your entire Su family!"
At this declaration, Su Tianhao was dumbfounded on the spot. The Su family truly was a second-rate family, nothing compared to Tianba Group.
If the Su family went against Tianba Group, it would be like an ant shaking a tree, totally unaware of its own mortality.
"Chairman Li, Tianhao is still young. He was just acting brashly just now. Please don't take it to heart!" Old Madam Su said in a state of alarm.
Both families were in the cosmetics industry, and Old Madam Su knew very well that if Li Changhong became infuriated, he could indeed completely blacklist the Su family.
Old Madam Su ordered, "Tianhao, apologize to Chairman Li right now!"
"Chairman Li, I was out of line just now, my apologies, Chairman Li!" Su Tianhao said in a fluster.
Li Changhong sneered, "I'll say it again, the Su family I recognize is only Su Ruoxue. If you Su family want trouble, come at me! You better watch yourselves!"
After speaking, Li Changhong immediately hung up the phone, having no desire to waste words with Old Lady Su and Su Tianhao.
"It's over, my dream for the Su Family to become a First-Rate Clan has been completely shattered!" Old Madam Su's face was ashen.
She had originally thought that suppressing Su Ruoxue wouldn't cause too much of a stir, who could have predicted that just after she had stripped Su Ruoxue of the general manager position, the Tianba Group would terminate its cooperation with the Su Family right on its heels.
Moreover, Su Tianhao had just offended Li Changhong. With Tianba Group being the leading cosmetics company in the Mainland, offending Li Changhong was almost tantamount to cutting off the Su Family's future, making it uncertain whether they would ever touch the threshold of becoming a First-Rate Clan in their lifetime.
Angered to the point of a livid complexion, Su Tianhao said, "This Li Changhong is bullying us too much, it's detestable! And that Su Ruoxue, she's utterly heartless. Was it necessary to have Tianba Group end its partnership with our Su Family just because of her dismissal?"
"It's all your fault," Old Madam Su said angrily. "You're always thinking about suppressing Su Ruoxue. If it weren't for your suggestion to remove Su Ruoxue from her position, would Tianba Group have terminated its partnership with our Su Family?"
"Grandmother I..."
Su Tianhao opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.
"Grandmother, something big has happened!"
The next moment, Su Yue walked over with her mobile phone in hand.
Old Madam Su felt her heart leap with apprehension and asked, "Yue'er, what big thing happened now?"
"The Huang Family is finished!" Su Yue said in a rush.
"What? The Huang Family is finished? How is that possible?" Old Madam Su's face was full of shock.
Handing over her phone, Su Yue said to Old Madam Su, "If you don't believe it, Grandmother, look for yourself!"
"What happened?" Old Madam Su took the phone and frowned.
Without knowing, she would be unaware, but upon looking, she was frightened to see the media plastered with reports about the Huang Family's bankruptcy.
Old Madam Su clicked on a video, and a reporter in the video said, "Just moments ago, Dihao Group terminated its outsourcing cooperation with the Huang Family! In addition, the Huang Family has been maliciously targeted, with a large number of their shops vandalized and production plants deliberately set ablaze!"
"Numerous partners of the Huang Family are holding them accountable, and currently, the Huang Family's assets have all been frozen! Most shockingly, the murder case from eight years ago in the Western Suburb is somehow related to the Huang Family, and the present head of the Huang Family, Huang Lang, along with many senior members of the Huang Family, have already been arrested!"
Having watched the video, Old Madam Su couldn't help but gasp in shock. She could hardly believe that the Huang Family, touted as the top magnate of Central Plains, had vanished just like that.
"Could it be the work of Ye Fan?" Su Tianhao's eyes were wide with disbelief.
"It's very likely!" Su Yue exclaimed in horror.
The siblings remembered it crystal clear; just an hour ago, Ye Fan claimed he would bankrupt the Huang Family, and Huang Zicheng received a phone call and left the Su Corporation like a scalded dog.

Could it be that Ye Fan wasn't joking and actually caused the Huang Family's bankruptcy in a fit of rage?
Still in shock, Su Tianhao said, "Could there be some mistake? Ye Fan is just a minor character; how could he possibly have the power to bankrupt the Huang Family?"
"Never mind that for now, with the Huang Family bankrupt and Huang Zicheng out of the picture, call a meeting with the top executives of the Su Family, and all of you come with me!" Old Madam Su said anxiously.
"Grandmother, where are we going?" asked Su Tianhao.
Old Madam Su said urgently, "What else can we do? Immediately bring Su Ruoxue back. Do you want the Su Family's decades of foundations to be destroyed overnight?"
