The next morning, the entire internet was in an uproar!
Huo Jingxi, the heir of the Huo family, has been detained for "smuggling"!
The announcement was brief, but netizens sensed two powerful forces clashing in ways they couldn't see.
"He's none other than Master Huo the Third!"
"Impossible. I would believe anything he said, but I absolutely do not believe he would take such a risk and lead the Huo family to ruin!"
"What's impossible about it? Don't you think about it? The Huo family accomplished in one year what other big families couldn't do in ten years. Where did they get so much money?"
"The Huo family acquires land and attracts investment. That capital is money. You don't think that our capital daddy only invests a few hundred or a thousand at a time, do you?"
"Is the Huo family doomed? I was waiting for them to go public!"
"Oh dear, Lu Yi just had a major scandal, and now the Huo family is in trouble. Is it possible that someone is deliberately using the Huo family to suppress the trending topics in order to protect Lu Yi?"
"You guys have such wild imaginations, you've even forgotten your own skulls!"
"I just came from next door. The Gu family is in trouble too. It seems that the Gu family and the Huo family are working together to do bad things. Recently, Lu Yi reported them all!"
The entire internet was stunned and speechless, exclaiming, "Ah, this..."
...
Lin Hongtao looked at the online comments with a mocking expression.
"The Lu family still wants to protect themselves? I'd like to see how long Lu Zhengming can hold out!"
Sitting opposite, Wang Da glared at her, crossed his legs, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
"Old Lin, I admire no one but you!"
"Your cooperation with the Gu family isn't over yet. I wonder if that self-righteous old man Gu Yan will be so angry he'll vomit blood when he finds out!"
Wang Da was quite well-known in Jiangzhou.
However, the stone business was sluggish a few years ago, the company was barely surviving, and all the employees ran away.
With the rise of the real estate industry, Wang Da's company rebounded overnight.
Not only did they secure the entire construction waste transportation project in Jiangzhou City, but they also immediately established a connection with the Huo family, signing three orders in a row.
But his ambitions don't stop there.
Compared to the real estate industry, which generates huge profits, stone and waste transportation is nothing more than gnawing on the leftovers, not even worth a sip of soup.
So, he had a wicked idea.
The investors who couldn't stand the Huo family's unparalleled success in the real estate industry were all envious and hit it off, so they took action against the Huo family.
Wang Da, this lowly henchman, appeared arrogant on the surface, but in reality, he didn't even know who held the hilt of the knife that was meant to strike the Huo family.
All he knew was that once the Huo family fell, he would definitely have a chance to get a piece of the pie.
"Mr. Wang, if I remember correctly, the Huo family gave you a lot of work to revive your company!"
"Your ability to betray your employer is far superior to mine; I, Lin, humbly admit defeat!"
Lin Hongtao looked at him with a smile, poured a cup of tea, and gestured for his assistant to take it over.
Wang Da's oily face stiffened for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
"We're even, neither of us will say anything more... Mr. Lin, I'm treating you to today, it's not for business!"
He cleared his throat and looked towards the door.
"My good-for-nothing son said that the Lin family has a daughter who is as beautiful as an angel, one of the most beautiful women in Jiangzhou..."
He picked up his teacup, his brow furrowed, and he lowered his voice, saying, "She's even worse than that eldest daughter of the Liao family back then!"
Lin Hongtao looked at his lustful, bear-like appearance.
He slammed the teacup down heavily on the table.
He didn't want to "give away" his perfectly good daughter, but with the rise of various platforms, Lin's products were not as popular as before.
The reason he secretly waded into this mess was to pave another path for the Lin family.
But upon hearing Wang Da's praise, Lin Hongtao also began to have his own ulterior motives.
The Wang family has countless biological sons and illegitimate children; he can always pick one that Xiaoya finds pleasing to the eye.
Even if it's a business marriage, do you think a beautiful flower would end up stuck in cow dung?
But the moment the door was pushed open, he was completely stunned.
After staring at Wang Chan for a long time, he asked with trembling fingers, "This... is the boss's son?"
Knowing the purpose of his visit, Wang Chan took a few quick steps, grabbed Lin Hongtao's hands, and smiled so broadly that his eyes were almost squinting into his face.
"Hello Uncle Lin! My name is Wang Chan."
"Xiaoya kept looking at me at Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony that day, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed her. But she's pretty good-looking!"
"At least she's much more pleasing to the eye than my sisters... Uncle Lin, if she marries me, I'll give her whatever dowry she wants, my dad will pay for it anyway."
"However, if you want me to marry into the Lin family, then I'll have to think about it carefully!"
"The amount of dowry I ask for will vary depending on who I live with after marriage, how many children I have, who is the breadwinner and who is the homemaker..."
Lin Xiaoya, who was listening outside the door, almost vomited up her dinner from the night before!
Lin Hongtao felt the stickiness in his palm and wished he could chop that hand off on the spot.
After pulling it back forcefully, it hung far to one side of my body, and even moving a finger felt disgusting.
...
As soon as the news of Huo Jingxi's "detention" broke, suppliers and partners in Jiangzhou Fengcheng and surrounding major cities all joined forces to attack him.
They either criticized Huo's "autocracy" or mocked Huo Jingxi for being " mean and ungrateful."
Some Fok employees even appeared on various platforms and listed the "seven deadly sins" and "ten deadly sins" of Fok during live broadcasts!
In an instant, "Huo Family" and "Huo Jingxi" topped the trending search list.
Regardless of who they are, whether they are verified or not, they all analyze the "rise and fall" of the Huo family with a professional attitude!
Those who know them marvel at their erudition.
If you didn't know better, you'd think the Huo Group had really gone bankrupt!
