281: Let Huo Qichen take a piss and look in the mirror. Is he worthy of my respect?!
In the chairman's office of Su Corporation.
“Speechless! These idiotic netizens actually even made an emoji pack of me…”
Lin Xuan sat in the Executive chair, browsing through various news about him online, his expression peculiar.
In front of him, Hu Zheng and other corporation employees were all excited.
They continuously reported news of soaring stock prices and the overwhelming sales of several newly launched products… In summary:
The company's current development is excellent, and its future is bright!!!
However, Lin Xuan was rather unenthusiastic, giving a few perfunctory replies:
“Oh.”
“Very good, well done.”
“Keep it up, continue the good work.”
…Hu Zheng and the others could only smile wryly and shake their heads.
They were actually quite puzzled.
A normal Executive, upon hearing such good news about the company's “rising success,” should be overjoyed; why did their own Executive… seem completely uninterested?!
At this moment, Hu Zheng remembered the news he had just received and reported it.
“Boss, your father is restless in prison and is demanding to see you. He seems to have had a complete change of heart, filled with immense regret, and wants to apologize to you personally.”
“Do you… need me to arrange it?”
Regret? Apology?
Heh heh… He wouldn't think that apologizing to me and shedding a few tears would win my sympathy, would he?!
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold sneer, and he rejected the idea without a second thought; he no longer wanted any involvement with that scumbag father.
“No.”
“Also, from now on, unless absolutely necessary, do not report any more news about Lin Jianjun to me!”
“Yes, Boss.” Hu Zheng nodded, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
He was truly afraid that his Boss might soften his heart for a moment, go to the prison to accept the apology, and then regret it, wanting to rescue Lin Jianjun.
If that news were to spread… the general public would surely be furious at being deceived, and the good reputation the corporation had so painstakingly built would instantly collapse, beyond recovery.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen; the Boss's rationality still prevailed.
“Oh, Boss! The mother and son, Lin Hao, whom you asked me to keep an eye on earlier, bought tickets for a flight to the Imperial Capital today.”
“Looking at the time… they should be boarding soon.”
“Do you need me to send someone to stop them?”
“…”
Lin Hao? Bai Yuelan?
Mentioning this mother and son, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned, but didn't take it too seriously.
After all, these two were just minor cannon fodder in the plot, insignificant, and not worth wasting time on.
“Don't bother! I have 95% absolute certainty!”
“They are probably trying to escape Zhao Hu's debt collection, forced to flee to the Imperial Capital to hide from debt… ”
“These two are no longer a threat; let them fend for themselves! There's no need to report their matters to me anymore!”
“…”
Though he said that.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, still preparing to give Lin Hao and his mother a farewell gift.
He smirked and sent a message to Zhao Hu, revealing the location of Lin Hao and his mother, as well as their destination… As for whether Zhao Hu could catch them at the airport, or if he would follow them to the Imperial Capital to collect the debt, that was Zhao Hu's own business.
Lin Xuan indicated… it had nothing to do with him. →_→
Thinking that he had completely gotten rid of Lin Jianjun's eccentric family of three from now on… Lin Xuan was in a very good mood. He stood up and stretched comfortably.
Then, after giving a few instructions to Hu Zheng and the other corporation employees, he prepared to head back to the Su Family Manor to take Su Qingge to the hospital to visit the Old Master… At the main entrance of Su Corporation.
The driver respectfully opened the car door, welcomed Lin Xuan as he exited the company, and then drove the Maybach towards the Su Family Manor.
In the back seat.
Lin Xuan was bored, enjoying the scenery along the way… Suddenly, his Huawei phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID on the screen:
Ma Yingzhe.
【Hmm? Did something happen with Chu Ling?】
【After all, last time I told Old Ma to send someone to Chu Family Village to secretly protect my foolish Cousin, to prevent her from being abused by her adoptive father…】
【But I remember the tragedy shouldn't happen so soon, right?】
【Could it be another butterfly effect, causing the time of my Cousin's danger to be brought forward?】
…With a heart full of questions, Lin Xuan answered the call.
“Hello (#`O′), it's me.”
“Boss, there's something I need to report to you…”
To Lin Xuan's surprise, the matter Ma Yingzhe wanted to discuss was actually related to the Huo Family?!
It turned out that ever since [L] announced the acquisition of Lin Corporation, it was equivalent to declaring to everyone that he was the Executive of the corporation.
So, many “fans” came admiringly, either staking out or calling the corporation's phone, attempting to uncover the true identity of [L].
Of course… Ma Yingzhe's information protection work was excellent; to this day, Lin Xuan had not revealed any weaknesses, and no one knew that he was the legendary [L].
And Huo Qichen had also recently, as a fan, proactively contacted Ma Yingzhe, hoping that [L] could write a song for one of his friends.
“He said the compensation could be whatever we asked, and he hoped we could give him some face; then our two companies would be friends in the future.”
“Boss, what do you want me to say? Or should I just refuse directly?”
“…”
After hearing Ma Yingzhe's words, a strangely mocking smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips.
Heh heh… Friends?
If Huo Qichen knew the true identity of [L], would he still be able to say the same words???
“Just reply… tell him to take a piss and look in the mirror to see if he's worthy of me giving him face.”
“Ah… This? Alright, alright… Understood!”
Ma Yingzhe had heard about some of the events at the Su Corporation Celebration Banquet and naturally knew about the conflict between the Huo Family and his Boss.
So, a refusal was expected!
But the response… being so vulgar, was somewhat unexpected… This was clearly intentionally offending the other party.
If it were Ma Yingzhe himself, he would definitely choose to feign civility with Huo Qichen.
After all, the Huo Family's strength was not to be underestimated; at least, on the surface, he wouldn't make things too tense with the other party… However, despite that, the Boss's words were law!!!
Even if Ma Yingzhe felt it wasn't quite appropriate… since Lin Xuan said it, he would naturally execute it firmly.
Beep beep beep —
Soon, the call was disconnected. Just as Lin Xuan refocused his attention on the scenery outside the window… his phone rang… again!
