The aroma of cigars filled the air, and Lin Zhengbin quietly listened to his son Lin Langtian's retelling.
"This is what happened..."
Lin Langtian clenched his fists. Even now, he still felt that he was filled with depression.
"Li Jin and Huo Huanyu are too arrogant. With such a trump card, they dare to overturn the table. Do they really not take us seriously?"
"Where is this? It's Yanjing! It's not a port city where they can dominate!"
Lin Langtian gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Dad, this time, I must teach them a lesson."
Lin Zhengbin's face was hidden in the smoke, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his voice came out, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
Lin Langtian paused and said with some guilt: "It was too late yesterday, and you just came back from other places, so I didn't..."
"What about before? As soon as you get those things, you should contact me immediately!" Lin Zhengbin said solemnly, "That's fine if it's other things, but look what you got?"
"The Huo family's equity in the Yanjing branch and their project document for the Olympic Village are such important things. How could the two of them deal with them privately with you without authorization? And you are naive enough to come to your door.
"
Lin Langtian said unconvinced: "I think I was right. I had no intention of returning the things to them. I just wanted to deceive them and then hand them over. I just didn't expect them."
You are so stubborn that you actually fight me to the death!"
Lin Zhengbin said coldly: "Why do you think you can deceive them?"
Lin Langtian replied subconsciously: "Because these two things are so important, how dare they take on such a big responsibility..."
At this point, Lin Langtian's expression suddenly turned ugly.
When Lin Zhengbin saw that Lin Langtian finally understood the key, he sighed and said, "You just realized it now. This is the gap between you and Li Jin."
"Let's not talk about those shares. Whether you want to defraud them or hand over the shares, as long as they don't transfer the ownership immediately, they can empty the company and withdraw the funds at any time. What's left is nothing but nothing.
shell."
"If the prediction is correct, Li Jin already ordered Huo Huanyu to do this during the day yesterday."
"So the company's shares are nothing, but the most important thing is the project plan. The most important thing about a project plan is to keep it confidential. You have already taken it and read it. As far as the Lin family and the Huo family are concerned, this
A plan is already a piece of waste paper."
"Understanding this, do you still think the cards in your hand are enough to threaten them both?"
"So the Huo family's losses are not as serious as you think, but the bad thing is the nature. They will not just let this matter go."
Listening to Lin Zhengbin's words, Lin Langtian recalled Li Jin's various performances before, and his face became extremely gloomy.
He felt that he had been completely tricked by Li Jin.
"Because the nature is so bad, from the beginning, this matter has been beyond the scope of their solution. The elders of the Huo family must be notified to solve it."
"Li Jin, this little fox, is very cunning. Would he involve himself in such a thing for no reason?"
"You took away the face and dignity, and improved the favorability of the Huo family, and then threw the matter away. Not only does he not hate you, but he wants to thank you for giving him such a good opportunity."
Lin Zhengbin sighed, looked at Lin Langtian with disappointment and said: "Originally, I thought that after what happened before, you could at least make some progress. At the worst, you shouldn't despise Li Jin so much, so I can safely deal with Li Jin."
I'll leave the matter to you."
"But now it seems that you are still too immature. If you just got those things and handed them to me immediately, I would immediately lock the account of the Huo family branch. If nothing else, it would cost more than one billion.
It’s enough to make the Huo family’s flesh hurt for a long time.”
Lin Langtian became angrier and regretful the more he thought about it. He said, "Then what should I do now?"
"It's too late! The moment you invited Li Jin and Huo Huanyu to dinner, the company's funds must have been drained." Lin Zhengbin said lightly.
Lin Langtian said unwillingly: "What should we do now? We haven't gained any benefits, and we still have to be troubled by them?"
Lin Zhengbin said lightly: "It can't be said that there are no benefits. For a family like us and the Huo family, the most important thing is face, even more important than the billions of dollars."
"You took away all the shares of the Huo family's branch in Yanjing. If word spreads, half of the Huo family's reputation will be ruined. This is our bargaining chip."
Lin Langtian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Dad, what should we do now? This time, we must give Li Jin a lesson. If we don't trample him to death, I will feel like there is a lump in my throat and I can't sleep at night!"
Just as Lin Zhengbin was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Langtian frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "My dad and I are discussing important matters, so don't disturb me!"
Outside the door, the housekeeper said respectfully: "Master, a young man named Huo Huanyu came to the door and said he was bringing an invitation to the master."
When these words were heard in the room, the expressions of Lin Zhengbin and Lin Langtian changed at the same time.
"Take him to the reception room, I'll be there soon." Lin Zhengbin said solemnly.
After the housekeeper outside the door left, Lin Langtian couldn't help but said impatiently: "Dad, that bastard bullied others so much that he dared to come to our house!?"
Lin Zhengbin said seriously: "The Huo family should start taking action. Let's go and take a look first."
A moment later, Lin Zhengbin and Lin Langtian appeared in the reception room.
As soon as Lin Langtian walked in, he saw Huo Huanyu crossing his legs and shaking his eyes, staring at him with narrowed eyes.
It looked like a jackal admiring its prey.
A surge of anger surged up from deep in Lin Langtian's heart for no reason.
"Why are you looking at me like that!?" Lin Langtian shouted and asked.
Huo Huanyu grinned, stretched out on the sofa, and said, "Hey, you don't have this face for others to see?"
Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed and he was about to speak when he saw Lin Zhengbin looking over calmly.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Langtian swallowed back the words that came to his lips in frustration and anger.
"Huanyu came to the door today. Do you have someone to help you?" Lin Zhengbin asked lightly.
"There is a dinner party tonight. Uncle Lin, please come."
Huo Huanyu respectfully called Uncle Lin, but his actions were not polite at all. He took out a gold-gilt invitation from his pocket and threw it directly on the coffee table.
The atmosphere in the reception room also solidified with Huo Huanyu's extremely arrogant action.
