Chapter 303 Retiring After Success
One month later.
Li Mingxuan's case has been settled.
He was convicted of smuggling and sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
Moreover, because of the huge sums of money involved, he was deported overseas to serve his sentence.
He will never come back in this lifetime.
The Li family also suffered a great loss because of this incident.
Mr. Li spent half a month in the hospital, and announced his retirement after being discharged.
The Li family's business was entirely handed over to their second son to manage.
There is no longer a place for Li Mingxuan in the business world of Hong Kong.
The Huo Group.
Kenneth Fok sat in his office, looking at the documents in his hand.
This is the final plan for the new district project.
After all this hard work, the project is finally about to start.
Moreover, because the Li family withdrew, the Huo family acquired more shares.
This project will be a crucial pillar for the Huo family over the next decade.
The secretary knocked and came in.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Fang has arrived."
Kenneth Fok stood up.
"Quickly, please invite your mother in."
Fang Lanxin walked into the office.
She was wearing a black dress today, with her hair down over her shoulders.
She appears elegant and composed.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
"I came to see you." Fang Lanxin sat on the sofa.
"Qibang, how's the new district project progressing?"
"It went very smoothly," Fok Kai-pong said.
"We can start construction next month."
"That's good."
Fang Lanxin nodded.
"Kibang, your mother has something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Grandma is planning to retire."
Kenneth Fok was stunned.
"Mom, what did you say?"
“I said, I’m planning to retire.”
Fang Lanxin smiled.
"The Huo family business will be handed over to you from now on."
"Mom, why?"
Kenneth Fok didn't understand.
“Mom, you are in your prime now.”
Why retire?
"Because I'm tired."
Fang Lanxin said.
"Qibang, your mother has sacrificed too much for the Huo family in her life."
"Now, I want to live for myself for once."
Kenneth Fok looked at his mother.
He suddenly realized that his mother's eyes no longer had the sharpness they used to have.
Instead, there is a sense of relaxation and composure.
"Mother, what do you want to do?"
“I want to travel,” Fang Lanxin said.
"Go see the world."
"To do some things I've always wanted to do but never had the time for."
Kenneth Fok remained silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Mom, I support you."
"Thank you, Chi-Bang."
Fang Lanxin stood up and walked to her son's side.
"Kibang, your mother believes in you."
"You will definitely be able to take the Huo family to a higher level."
Kenneth Fok's eyes reddened.
"Mom, I won't let you down."
"I know."
One week later.
The Huo family held a grand celebration banquet.
Celebrating the official launch of the new district project.
The city's celebrities have all come.
The banquet hall was bustling with activity, filled with the clinking of glasses and lively conversation.
Fang Lanxin stood on the second-floor terrace, looking down at the guests.
Guan Jingshen walked over and handed her a glass of champagne.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, it's finally all over."
Fang Lanxin said.
"The Huo family has stabilized, and Qibang has also grown."
"I can finally let go."
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Lanxin, what do you want to do next?"
“I want to travel,” Fang Lanxin said.
"Go see the sights I never had time to see before."
"Then I'll go with you."
"good."
The two stood on the terrace, looking down at Huo Qibang.
Kenneth Fok is talking with his guests.
He had a confident smile on his face.
The boy who once needed his mother's protection has grown into a man capable of standing on his own.
Fang Lanxin smiled.
She turned to look at Guan Jingshen.
"Jing Shen, let's go."
Where to?
"Let's go where we want to go."
Guan Jingshen smiled.
"good."
The two left the banquet hall hand in hand.
Downstairs, Kenneth Fok saw his mother's departing figure.
