Chapter 169: 【169】Do you still have this kind of friend? _1

Sun Qiuyang immediately sat up straight, first glanced at Tang Feng, and then hastily asked, “Dad, take your time, what exactly happened?”

“Just now, after your reminder, I thought about it and decided to have someone check Sun Qiuming’s accounts. I didn’t expect to find a big problem there.”

Sun Qiuyang could tell that his father was very angry, calling his cousin by his full name, and couldn’t help feeling smug, “What problem?”

“That little bastard, actually passing off inferior products as good. He was buying agricultural products that were about to go moldy at a very low price, and then reselling them to the company at a high price. It’s really hateful…”

“Heh, this kind of thing, it’s not the first time he’s done it, what’s so surprising about that?”

“This time it’s different. These agricultural products were specially supplied for the city government. If there’s a problem, our Sun family can forget about doing any business.”

“What? That serious?”

Only now did Sun Qiuyang understand the reason Tang Feng had said earlier that if this issue wasn’t handled well, the Sun family might truly falter.

He had thought at the time that his words were a bit alarmist.

But now, hearing his father explain the situation, he knew those words were not an exaggeration at all.

If they really delivered agricultural products on the verge of going moldy to the city government, the matter would be serious.

He looked deeply at Tang Feng, noticing his calm demeanor as he continued to eat his meal.

This was truly the bearing of a master.

“Dad, what should we do now?”

“Luckily you reminded me in time, otherwise if this batch was sent to the city government tomorrow, we would have really been finished. I’ve already sent people to urgently buy more from other friendly businesses at a high price, in hopes of not delaying tomorrow’s transaction.”

“That’s good, as long as there’s a way to remedy it,” Sun Qiuyang let out a sigh of relief, his heart filled with afterwaves of fear.

“By the way, Xiao Yang, how did you know that Sun Qiuming was cooking the books?” His father suddenly asked curiously.

“A friend told me about it.” He didn’t conceal the truth and told it as it was.

“Your friend? How did he know?” This further piqued his father’s suspicions.

“He figured it out, he’s a Master of Physiognomy.” Sun Qiuyang was afraid his father wouldn’t believe it, and felt a bit nervous inside.

“A Master of Physiognomy? You have such friends?” His father didn’t doubt the master’s skills but wondered how his son could have made a friend like that.

“Uh… Dad, what are you saying? All my friends are very capable,” Sun Qiuyang immediately felt a headache coming on. Just moments before, in order for everyone to hear what his father was saying, he had put the phone on speaker.

His dad’s words had just managed to offend all his brothers.

“Heh, your so-called friends, do I not know them? How many of them are reliable…”

“Dad, I’ve got stuff to do here, I’m hanging up.”

The more his father spoke, the less reliable it sounded, so Sun Qiuyang hurriedly hung up the phone.

Then he awkwardly looked at the circle of friends around the table, “Haha, my dad is just blunt with his words, you guys shouldn’t take it to heart.”

Zhou Bingrui glared at him with an unfriendly look, “So in your dad’s eyes, we’re just your fair-weather friends, huh?”

“Didn’t you say your dad praises us at home every day? How come the situation has changed now?”

“Sun Qiuyang, you need to make it clear to us today, how have we become fair-weather friends?”

“If anyone’s a fair-weather friend, it’s you, right? We were all led astray by you.”

“Exactly, I didn’t even know how to hook up before, that’s all thanks to your coaching…”

The crowd began to collectively berate Sun Qiuyang.

Sun Qiuyang had no choice but to apologize to everyone continuously and punished himself with three cups of alcohol before they let him off the hook.

Actually, they were already used to being scolded.

In others’ eyes, they were just a bunch of prodigal heirs content with eating and waiting for death.

They were never involved in good deeds, and it was always them who were up to no good.

Over time, they had somewhat adopted a ‘break what’s broken’ attitude.

“Mr. Tang, I really want to thank you for today. Not only did you help our family avert a loss, but you also let me have my moment of pride in front of my dad. I toast to you.”

Sun Qiuyang looked at Tang Feng with sincere eyes, poured himself a large glass of alcohol, and drank it in one gulp.

The others also looked at Tang Feng with complex expressions.

They had originally treated him as a junior brother.

But now it seemed that this junior brother was quite fierce.

Physiognomy Skill was indeed so powerful, it directly saved the fate of the Sun family.

After this incident, it would be hard for them to treat him as an equal again.

In the future, they would likely have to look up to him.

This included Xu Xinling as well.

When Tang Feng previously mentioned that he practiced Physiognomy Skill, she thought he was joking.

But now, if she still thought it was a joke,

Then she would be the joke herself.

A heart began to stir up tumultuous waves.

“There’s no need to be formal, Brother Yang. Aren’t we friends? I just did what I should,” said Tang Feng as he saw Sun Qiuyang’s straightforward manner and had no choice but to drink from his cup.

He was about to sober up, but after this drink, his head started to feel dizzy again.

“Young Master Yang, after such a huge favor from Mr. Tang, are you just going to thank him with words?”

“Exactly, aren’t you going to offer something substantial? Cut out these useless gestures.”

“I think, at times like this, only the shameless display of cold hard cash can show the greatest respect to him…”

Sun Qiuyang glared at them, “Do you think I need reminders from you?”

With that said, he pulled out a bank card from his pocket and placed it in front of Tang Feng, “Mr. Tang, my family usually keeps a tight leash on me, and there’s just over half a million in this card. Take it for now. When I get back, I’ll ask my dad for more, he’ll definitely agree.”

The others initially thought it was just a joke, but to their surprise, Sun Qiuyang was serious.

While over half a million wasn’t a lot, it was enough for an ordinary family to save up for over a decade.

“Brother Yang, you…”

Tang Feng picked up the bank card and was about to speak.

Sun Qiuyang thought he was going to refuse and immediately became somewhat unhappy, “If you consider me a friend, just take the money, otherwise, I’m going to be upset.”

Tang Feng, seeing the misunderstanding, quickly explained, “No, I was wondering what the password is?”
