666: The Huo family has been banned in the industry. No one will help you. Just accept your fate!
When they learned that Lin Xuan was the actual 'L' and the true power behind Lin Corporation... Huo Tingfeng and the others were first bewildered, standing rooted to the spot, at a loss.
Immediately after, a raging inferno of anger surged from the depths of their hearts, instantly igniting their reason.
No one was a fool!
The Huo Family finally woke up as if from a dream, realizing that everything, from the auction onwards, had been a meticulously planned conspiracy.
And they were like a group of puppets, led by the nose, being played around by Lin Xuan.
As soon as they thought of this, the Huo Family entourage instantly exploded like a lit gunpowder barrel... "You bastard, how dare you scheme against our Huo Family like this!"
"So it was you pulling the strings from the very beginning, we're not done with you! If we don't get revenge for this, we swear we're not human!!!"
"Despicable! Shameless! You set us up!"
"What kind of hatred, what kind of grudge is this! Don't you fear having children without anuses for doing such beastly things?"
"..."
Only Huo Tingfeng at the scene still retained a sliver of rationality.
He understood in his heart.
If they continued to offend Lin Xuan at this moment, the Huo Family would truly be completely finished, with no chance of recovery.
No matter how much they hated him, at this moment, they had to... endure!!!!!!
They had to learn from King Goujian of Yue, to suffer hardships for the sake of vengeance!!!!!!
Thus, Huo Tingfeng quickly raised his hand, stopping his clansmen's curses, and forced out a smile uglier than crying.
The muscles in his face twitched slightly due to this difficult pretense.
He bowed his head to Lin Xuan and said:
"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin, whatever grievances we may have had in the past, they are all in the past."
"You are a man of great magnanimity, with a heart broad enough to pilot a ship! Please don't take those trivial matters from the past to heart."
"Don't forget! We signed a business contract before, we are now business partners!"
"Business cooperation cannot be easily reneged upon! Don't you agree?"
"..."
What Huo Tingfeng was most worried about now was the project cooperation falling through.
If that happened, his Huo Family would completely plunge into the abyss, never to recover.
The other Huo Clan members immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
Although their hearts were filled with unwillingness, and each of them was seething with anger.
They also deeply understood their family's current predicament, like being on the edge of a cliff; a slight misstep would lead to utter destruction.
Their only lifeline now was Lin Corporation.
They must learn to endure!!!!!
Under duress, they could only shut up, standing there with vexed expressions, looking like a group of defeated roosters.
At Huo Tingfeng's urging, they reluctantly and quietly apologized:
"Mr. Lin, we spoke out of turn just now, please don't take it to heart!"
"Yes, yes! We're just outspoken, we didn't mean to offend you!"
"Mr. Lin, a great man doesn't concern himself with the faults of a small man!"
"I believe you definitely wouldn't request to terminate the cooperation over such a small matter. Otherwise, you would be legally responsible."
"Exactly! The contract clearly states in black and white that we are to be the exclusive supplier of building materials for the University City project!"
"If you unilaterally breach the contract, not only will you have to pay a huge amount in liquidated damages, but it will also cause a significant blow to Lin Corporation's reputation and credibility if word gets out."
"..."
Listening to the Huo Family's half-threatening, half-pleading words.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm and composed, as if everything was already within his control, with nothing exceeding his expectations.
He smiled, nodding unhurriedly:
"Of course, what I value most is credibility."
"Since we've signed the contract, everything will be handled according to the contract's provisions."
"The Huo Family must deliver all the necessary building materials for University City on time, within the specified period."
"Once it's overdue... according to the contract, there will be a penalty of ten times the liquidated damages."
"You must keep this in mind."
"..."
Huo Tingfeng paused after hearing this, a hint of doubt surfacing in his heart.
He secretly wondered why Lin Xuan had suddenly become so agreeable.
Could he really have had a change of heart?
But at this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much; as long as Lin Xuan was willing to let the Huo Family continue as the exclusive supplier, everyone would be happy.
He quickly nodded vigorously, promising with certainty:
"Mr. Lin, you can rest assured, we will definitely deliver on time, absolutely no delays."
"Even if it costs me my life, I will get this done!"
"You can trust me to handle it!"
"..."
Upon hearing this.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly, gave Huo Tingfeng a meaningful look, then waved his hand and leisurely departed.
Ma Yingzhe and the other bigwigs followed closely behind, leaving only the bewildered Huo Family members.
After Lin Xuan had walked far away, the Huo Clan members simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, slumping to the ground as if having survived a disaster... "I didn't expect... that kid isn't so bad after all, he's actually so easy to talk to..."
"Yeah! If it were us in his position, we definitely wouldn't let our opponents off so easily, we'd seize the opportunity to finish them off!"
"So what! If it weren't for his despicable and shameless schemes! How would we have fallen to such a humble state?"
"We must never forget today's humiliation!!!"
"When the Huo Family rises again in the future, with enough strength and opportunity, we must make Lin Corporation pay a hundredfold price!"
"Exactly! We will definitely seek revenge in the future, completely bring down Lin Corporation, and let that kid also experience the taste of being schemed against and humiliated!!!"
"..."
The Huo Clan fantasized about future "scenes of revenge."
A sinister smile gradually appeared on their faces, their eyes filled with resentment and ambition.
While muttering curses, they gathered together, secretly planning how to cut corners and save costs while delivering building materials, to both save money and get away with it.
They had completely forgotten their earlier solemn promise to deliver high-quality building materials on time.
Only Huo Tingfeng still felt that something was amiss.
But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Finally, he could only frown and give up, deciding to first gather all the building materials needed for the University City project.
As long as they delivered on time!
Then no matter what schemes Lin Corporation used, he would not be afraid.
However, the Huo Family alone could not possibly deliver such a large quantity of building materials in such a short time.
So Huo Tingfeng planned to seek outside help.
Over the years, he had accumulated quite a few connections in the real estate industry; any one of them would be enough to solve the immediate crisis.
Beep beep beep—
The call was quickly placed. Involving hundreds of billions in building materials, ordinary suppliers simply didn't have the capacity to handle it.
Therefore, Huo Tingfeng contacted suppliers ranked among the top ten and highly reputable in the Magic City.
Holding such a large and profitable business deal.
Huo Tingfeng was full of confidence and superiority, firmly believing that none of his "old friends" would be willing to refuse him...
