Chapter 1229 The Real Purpose
Jiang Manman led the Liang family father and son upstairs. Jiang Manman walked in front, and Liang's father kept saying, "Manman, you must say a good word for us in front of President Huo later, otherwise my Liang family will be finished."
“I don’t know what my silly son did. I apologize to you. Please don’t take it to heart. You two grew up together, so you should know what kind of person Xiao Chen is. He’s just been too tired lately, which is why he did these foolish things. He regretted it after the last argument with you and wanted to apologize properly, but he just hadn’t found the opportunity. Then this happened, and Xiao Chen is in a bad mood. Manman, promise your uncle you won’t take it to heart, okay?”
Liang's father knew better than Liang Chen how to handle things. Jiang Manman was a hot commodity, and only she could speak up for Huo Yanchen.
Even Liang's father could see that Huo Yanchen treated Jiang Manman differently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to beg for so long without being able to see Huo Yanchen even once, while Jiang Manman could see him with just a word.
Jiang Manman should be treated like royalty now, instead of Liang Chen offending her like this!
Jiang Manman said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Liang. If it's about Liang Chen smashing Huo Group's property, that's the company discussing compensation with you. I can't say anything about it, and I don't have that much influence. If it's about your company's situation, this matter has nothing to do with me or President Huo. It was the other party who ran away, not us who helped him run away. The money didn't even reach us. I believe Uncle Liang can figure that out, right?"
Jiang Manman's refusal was so eloquent that even Mr. Liang was at a loss for words and could only nod, "Yes, yes."
Jiang Manman led them to the top floor, where they saw Huo Yanchen's secretary at the far end. Jiang Manman explained that Huo Yanchen had sent them up, and only then were they allowed to enter.
In the office, Huo Yanchen sat at his desk, a cigarette between his fingers, puffing out smoke, looking extremely relaxed.
"President Huo!" Upon seeing Huo Yanchen, Liang's father knelt down, startling Liang Chen and Jiang Manman.
"What are you doing? Trying to stage an accident?" Huo Yanchen's tone was unreadable.
"No, Mr. Huo, I'm here to apologize," said Mr. Liang.
Huo Yanchen said calmly, "I don't have a habit of making others kneel down to apologize. I'm not your ancestor, so you don't need to kneel to me. What era are we living in? Get up now, or we'll have someone throw you out."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liang quickly got up from the ground: "Mr. Huo is indeed very magnanimous."
"What do you mean by being magnanimous? Did I say I wanted to wipe the bill clean? I believe you have seen the bills sent to your Liang Group. It is only right to compensate for damaged items at their original price. As for the items that were smashed later, I have already had them calculated. Mr. Liang, please take a look. If there are no problems, then have someone transfer the money."
As he spoke, Huo Yanchen threw the receipts and the calculated total in front of Liang's father. To make it easier for his old eyes to see, Huo Yanchen had enlarged the font.
Liang Chen started by smashing the glass next to the Huo Group building. Each piece of glass was custom-made at a high price. Later, he went to the lobby of the Huo Group building and smashed a bunch of glass. Huo Yanchen did not have anyone stop him, and Liang Chen smashed to his heart's content.
But on impulse, the price was also very attractive.
Sure enough, Mr. Liang's face changed when he saw the price: "Mr. Huo, why is it so high? You should know our company's situation. We really can't come up with that much money right now. My son is ignorant. Can you please not blame him?"
This amount of money might not even be worth a hair for Huo Yanchen, but given the current situation of the Liang Group, it is a huge sum of money for them.
But Liang Chen didn't know how to be patient. He shouted, "Dad, why are you apologizing to this scoundrel? He's the one who ruined our family. Smashing his things now is letting him off easy. Huo Yanchen, I know you don't like me and you hold a grudge against me. If you have any complaints, come at me directly. Don't try anything underhanded. My dad hasn't offended you, and neither has our company!"
Seeing Liang Chen looking like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Liang's father quickly pulled him back, and then slapped Liang Chen in front of Huo Yanchen.
"You bastard! Who gave you the right to speak here!"
Then, Liang's father looked at Huo Yanchen with a forced smile and said, "Mr. Huo, I beat him so badly yesterday that he ended up in the hospital. I think he injured his brain and he's not quite lucid right now."
Huo Yanchen scoffed, "Hold a grudge against you? What do you have that I could hold a grudge against? In my eyes, you... never mind, you're not even worth my attention. I don't even look at you, do you understand? What I mean is, I don't even consider you a threat."
"If I were to actually come after you, you'd be a corpse by now, and you wouldn't be here yelling at me."
Huo Yanchen's words were arrogant, but they were also true.
Huo Yanchen merely accelerated the explosion of the thunderbolt; he did nothing else, let alone do anything to Liang Chen.
He actually helped the Liang family out. If it weren't for his encouragement, the Liang Group might have invested even more money later, resulting in greater losses. Instead of thanking him, they would have come to cause him trouble.
At this moment, Liang's father was already sweating profusely. He said, "Mr. Huo, please don't take my foolish son to heart. He didn't mean it that way. He was just too impulsive. Please give my son another chance. Please don't cause trouble for him, Mr. Huo."
Liang's father wanted to kneel down to Huo Yanchen again, but offending Huo Yanchen would not end well.
Huo Yanchen's sneer intensified: "Get this straight, it's not me causing trouble for your son, it's your son causing trouble for me. If there's nothing else, I have other work to do, so I won't keep you company any longer. Show him out!"
"Mr. Huo, no, I actually wanted to talk to you. Our Liang Group still has great potential, and I'd like to ask you to help us and save the Liang Group. I'm willing to transfer an equal proportion of Liang Group's shares to you."
Mr. Liang knew that the company's funds had been severely damaged this time. Without investment, many of the projects currently in operation would face a crisis, and everything would collapse. The Liang Group would then be close to bankruptcy.
If Huo Yanchen is willing to invest and save the Liang Group, he would be willing to exchange his shares for it.
This was Liang's father's real purpose in wanting to see Huo Yanchen.
Jiang Manman was not surprised when she heard this. Her father thought the same thing as her. Jiang Manman had thought last night that if they wanted to turn the situation around, the best way was to first attract investment to ensure the company's normal operation.
The Huo Group has a great reputation, and Huo Yanchen is rich. If they can rely on the Huo Group, even if the Liang family changes hands, the company can still be saved in the end. Other project partners will not stop cooperating with the Liang family because of the Huo Group.
