Goodbye, Director Yan!
Xiao He carried the completely drunk Yan Shaohan into the car, then bent down and said to the assistant director Fan Congwen by the window, "Please take care of Director Yan, Director Fan."
"It's okay, I just didn't realize you could hold your liquor so well, Xiao Xiao."
Fan Congwen was also a little drunk, but compared to Yan Shaohan, who was a complete mess, he was in much better shape. However, when he saw Xiao He, who looked perfectly normal, he felt a bit emotional.
Xiao He simply smiled and remained silent.
"Oh, right."
Before the driver started the car, Fan Congwen seemed to remember something, raised his hand to signal the driver to wait a moment, then leaned out again and said to Xiao He, "Director Zhuang is a bit busy today. He asked me to pass on a message to you: we can't be there for the birthday party, so we wish you a happy birthday in advance and all the best for your birthday party. We'll head straight to France right after the Spring Festival, so remember to prepare in advance."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director Zhuang, and thank you, Director Fan."
Xiao He nodded.
"Then we're leaving!"
Fan Congwen waved again, "See you later!"
"See you later!"
After seeing Fan Congwen and Yan Shaohan off, there weren't many people left in the restaurant.
Xiao He and Liu Rulan finally got back into the car and prepared to return to their hotel in Beijing.
On the way, Liu Rulan inquired about the banquet, and when she heard Xiao He mention that General Manager Huang, her brows furrowed slowly.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Rulan said, "I know this Mr. Huang. He is indeed a very important figure in Beijing, and is known as a giant in Beijing's investment circle."
"And his son, if I remember correctly, is named Huang Junhao, and is one of the well-known rich second-generation in Beijing."
"This person is a legendary figure in the industry."
Liu Rulan recalled the events carefully, her expression somewhat strange.
"It is said that every company he starts goes bankrupt. Huang Junhao has squandered nearly 4 billion yuan on his companies alone."
Xiao He: ?
Xiao He rubbed his ear with his finger to make sure he hadn't misheard: "Say it again, how many?"
Damn it, how much did you say?
This is real money! Not just any random number! And what kind of loss could possibly result in a net loss of four billion?
God, my heart is aching so much.
For the first time, Xiao He felt possessive of someone else's money—Give me this money! Give it to me!
"Ahem, this is just a rumor in the industry. We don't really know how much he lost, and there may be some exaggeration involved. But his story of squandering money by running a company is indeed widely known in the industry."
Liu Rulan first defended her words.
“I did hear that he started an influencer company a few years ago, but then nothing happened. I originally thought he had given up and gone back to inherit the family business, but I didn’t expect this…”
Liu Rulan's expression was somewhat indescribable.
It turns out it was still clinging to its last breath.
Xiao He: ...
This is truly heartbreaking to hear and see.
"So his father...didn't punish him?" Xiao He asked with a complicated expression. "He even secretly supported his son's continued extravagance?"
At this point, Liu Rulan sighed, "It's understandable. President Huang has always had a good eye for investment, and he has always made more money than he lost. His huge business has been built up through his accurate investment acumen. Now, his only son is a good-for-nothing who loses money on everything he invests in, his company goes bankrupt, and he squanders his business. It's normal for him to be unwilling to give up and to try to save the business."
Her words brought silence to the car.
Finally, after a long silence, Xiao He managed to utter the words he wanted to say.
"His father... truly has a fatherly love as vast as a mountain!"
