Chapter 193 Is there such a good thing?
The hall suddenly became incredibly noisy.
The passing of Mr. Tao is no small matter; it will directly affect the development and operation of the entire Tao Group. In addition, the scandal involving Tao Yuantian and his son can no longer be concealed. The stock prices of Tao Group-related companies are bound to fall sharply in the near future.
So even if Tao Qingxu becomes the de facto head of the Tao family, she will face great difficulties. It mainly depends on whether she can withstand these storms and how she will deal with these problems.
Many of the people here have worked with Dow, so they are very concerned about whether Dow will continue to improve or decline.
Overall, however, they are optimistic about Tao Qingxu taking over Tao's company.
On the one hand, it was common knowledge that Mr. Tao was old and in poor health, so his passing was not too sudden.
On the other hand, after watching the show here for so long today, everyone has reached a consensus: it's better to pass it on to Tao Qingxu than to pass it on to Tao Yuantian!
Most guests decided to wait and see and not take any special measures regarding the projects related to their collaboration with Dow.
It can only be said that it was fortunate that Grandpa Tao made the right decision before he died. No, it should be said that it was fortunate that Tao Qingxu made him make the right decision before he died, and also let them see Tao Qingxu's decisive, capable, strategic, and sentimental side.
Otherwise, they would have canceled those projects if necessary, and reduced investment if necessary.
After all, everyone is afraid of someone like Tao Yuantian, whose private life is chaotic and who makes no attempt to hide it. He might expose another outrageous scandal, causing Tao's stock price to plummet.
Therefore, to some extent, Tao Qingxu not only won the right to inherit the Tao family business, but also saved many of Tao's projects.
But Tao Yuantian didn't care about any of that.
He's now consumed by the thought that he's finished, that he has nothing left.
Even if he doesn't inherit Mr. Tao's estate, the wealth he owns already surpasses that of most people.
But for someone like him, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and who always thought he was destined to get Dow, being suddenly told that he had lost what was once within his grasp seemed like a fall from heaven to earth, but in terms of experience, it was the same as an ordinary person going from earth to hell.
He simply couldn't accept this disparity.
"No!"
His blood was rushing to his head, his face was abnormally red, his eyes were wide open and his eyeballs seemed to bulge out more than usual. He seemed to have transformed into the most primal beast, losing all reason and control, and only knew how to yell and shout at Tao Qingxu.
"These are all fake! You made them up to fight for the inheritance."
"This video is fake, the will is fake, did you forge these things and then kill my father? Yes, that's definitely it, you are the murderer, Tao Qingxu is the murderer!"
"Quickly, call the police and have her arrested!"
"Let me go! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to avenge my father!"
Tao Qingxu simply looked at him quietly, a barely perceptible smile even appearing on her lips.
She watched it as if it were a farce, and only after Tao Yuantian had run out of energy and his voice had weakened did Tao Qingxu speak coldly.
"You're the murderer, aren't you? You drove Mom to her death, and you angered Grandpa to his death. What right do you have to talk about me like this?"
"By the way," Tao Qingxu added, "when will you be able to move out of the Tao family ancestral home?"
"What did you say?" Tao Yuantian was too weak to even ask a question because he had been shouting for too long.
"Is a week enough for you?" Tao Qingxu gave himself a deadline. "I plan to sell the ancestral home."
"How dare you! That was passed down from my great-grandfather's time, it's the root of our Tao family! If you sell the ancestral home, how is that any different from severing the roots of our Tao family!" Tao Yuantian was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Tao Qingxu thought to herself: Is there really such a good thing?
If she could eradicate the feudalistic mindset of the Tao family from its very roots, she would definitely sell it.
However, she couldn't say this openly for the time being. She needed the support of Tao's people for many things she needed to do next, and she couldn't say anything too harsh.
“Grandpa has passed away, and the Tao family will face a great crisis right now, which is exactly when they need money,” Tao Qingxu tried to come up with a respectable explanation for herself. “The Tao family’s ancestral home is estimated to be worth over a billion yuan. Selling the ancestral home is for the better development of the Tao family. I believe Grandpa would agree if he knew in the afterlife.”
"You unfilial daughter!"
"Oh, and another thing," Tao Qingxu continued, "I plan to hold a shareholders' meeting when the time is right. You've been doing the job of president for the past few years, which is no different from being a hands-off manager. There have been complaints about you within the company for a long time. I suppose it's because you're getting old and can't handle company affairs anymore. It just so happens that you've reached retirement age, so why don't you step down early and rest and enjoy your old age?"
Realizing that Tao Qingxu intended to completely expel him from the Tao family, Tao Yuantian felt a surge of anger rush to his head.
He could only weakly utter the words "you...you..." before his eyes rolled back and he completely fainted.
After calmly instructing her secretary to call an ambulance, Tao Qingxu turned her attention to the other three clowns in tonight's play.
"You all heard what I just said, right? Move out of the Tao family's house within a week."
"No...no..." Hu Yin and her daughter shook their heads in despair, "No, we've already married into the Tao family, we're already part of the Tao family! You can't kick us out!"
"Isn't Tao Yuantian the head of the family? Shouldn't the entire Tao family belong to him? How could this be..."
They had already registered their marriage before the wedding, thinking that they could become rich wives and enjoy a life of luxury after marrying into the Tao family. However, when they heard the contents of Mr. Tao's will, they realized that things were not as they had imagined.
In just one night, their beautiful dreams were shattered.
“That’s between you and Tao Yuantian and Tao Qingjun, it has nothing to do with me,” Tao Qingxu continued, having his secretary call the police. “But I think I have the right to take back the huge amount of money Hu Yin obtained by deceiving my father with the baby she bought, as well as the various properties that the Tao family gave me based on the premise that Tao Qingjun was a descendant of the Tao family.”
After saying this, Tao Qingxu ignored their crying and fussing, and had the bodyguard take them to the back.
Finally, Tao Qingxu stood alone on the stage, bowing and apologizing to the guests on behalf of the entire Tao family. Afterwards, she stood at the exit and apologized to each departing guest, thus bringing to a close the final curtain of tonight's spectacle.
