Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 How Dare He!

Everyone craned their necks in expectation.

The panoramic elevator doors opened, and Jin Kai, the project manager of Tianyuan Group, walked out in front, followed by two other senior executives from Tianyuan.

That’s it?

Where is the president of Tianyuan?

“Mr. Jin.”

With no shame, Huo Beiting eagerly stepped forward, warmly shaking Jin Kai’s hand.

...

He had long since let go of his resentment over Jin Kai getting him drunk; there were no eternal enemies in the business arena. He only hoped that Tianyuan’s control of 20% of the shares could inject fresh blood into the Huo Family.

“Mr. Huo, the young master.” Jin Kai smiled broadly, but no one underestimated him.

He was a smiling tiger with formidable tactics.

“Mr. Jin, where is your CEO?” Huo Beiting asked on behalf of everyone present, “I’ve sent the invitation, and his assistant replied he would attend. Yet we haven’t seen him so far?”

Jin Kai spoke with a smile, “I’m not privileged to inquire about the president’s schedule.”

“So he’s not coming?”

Wang Fengxian asked anxiously.

“I don’t know. Mr. Huo, don’t let the president delay your birthday celebration. Please proceed with your original schedule,” the ambiguous response from Jin Kai came.

Huo Beiting was filled with disappointment and regret upon hearing this.

But he still heartily welcomed Jin Kai in; after all, with Tianyuan’s founder absent, Jin Kai represented Tianyuan Group.

They should at least keep up appearances.

Once Jin Kai entered the banquet hall, many people immediately surrounded him, inquiring about Tianyuan Group’s next steps in Haicheng.

Who wouldn’t want to cooperate with Tianyuan?

In the last five years, there wasn’t a single project invested by Tianyuan that hadn’t been a hit, raking in huge profits. They were unbeatable in the business realm.

But to confront the four major families of Haicheng head-on, it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious. After all, the power of wealth and family was built over decades, even centuries, and they had connections at higher levels.

Most of the time, “influence” is more important than money.

But what about in five years?

Or ten years?

No one wanted to offend a future colossus.

Especially the Huo Family.

Huo Beiting had no business talent, and the decline of the Huo Family was foreseeable.

“The founder of Tianyuan Group didn’t come; could he be some old man on his deathbed?” Huo Beiting complained in a low voice to Huo Jianjun, “I even made a big deal out of this.”

“Say less. I’ve taught you, keep your emotions from showing on your face,” Huo Jianjun warned.

At exactly eight o’clock, the doors to the banquet hall slowly closed.

The old man of the Huo Family, leaning on his dragon-headed cane, walked onto the stage with the support of Wang Fengxian.

“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday celebration,” he said, holding a microphone. The sound quality was excellent, and his voice reached the ears of the thousands present.

“Today’s main event isn’t about this old man halfway to the grave.”

He tightly gripped Huo Beiting’s arm, saying, “It is to take this opportunity to announce two matters. The first is my grandson Huo Beiting’s marriage; he and the Su Family’s precious daughter are mutually in love, and our two families will hold the wedding next month.”

Su Weiwei stood in the crowd, bashful and pleased.

“Congratulations to Miss Su, congratulations to Mr. Su for gaining such an excellent son-in-law.”

“Mr. Su, don’t forget to support us in the future.”

Soon, Su Heng became the focus of the crowd, humbly replying with clasped hands, “We should support each other.”

Zhao Yuzhen’s status rose by association; she stood next to Su Heng like an ornamental vase, smiling stiffly.

“The second matter,”

the old man said gravely, “is that having led the Huo Family for forty years and reached a venerable age, the future belongs to the younger generation. I have decided to transfer 30% of my shares to Beiting. From now on, he and his father will manage the Huo Family. I will step down as chairman, leaving Jianjun in charge, while Beiting will take over as president.”

As for why he didn’t pass it on to Huo Jianjun, it was his own initiative.

Huo Jianjun had only this son, and their relationship was harmonious. Eventually, the family assets would be passed to his son.

He wanted to give Huo Beiting a chance to prove he was stronger than Huo Xingzhou!

The old Master Huo took out the share transfer agreement, first to sign, and pressed his fingerprint. Then, he passed the pen to Huo Beiting.

Huo Beiting’s mouth was so wide with a smile it could hardly close; his hands were shaking with excitement as he took the pen.

Once he signed his name, he would become the largest shareholder of the Huo Family enterprise!

“Son, sign quickly.”

Wang Fengxian urged.

“Beiting, sign,” the old master said indifferently.

“Yes, Grandpa! I will certainly work hard to make the Huo enterprise stronger and take it to greater heights in my hands,” he said.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huo Beiting tried hard to contain the surge of ecstasy within, as he opened the cap of the pen. @@novelbin@@

Just then.

The doors of the banquet hall slowly opened, and the thick gilded door made a dull sound.

Everyone looked over, and Huo Beiting also stopped in his tracks.

The dazzling crystal lights of the dome shone upon the person entering, exposing him to everyone’s eyes.

He wore a well-tailored black suit and sat in a wheelchair. With a handsome face, cold white complexion, noble and aloof demeanor, the stares of everyone landed on him with extreme indifference. The woman beside him was petite, dressed in a light-colored long dress, exuding a serene ethereality.

“Huo Xingzhou!”

Someone exclaimed aloud in shock.

“Is that really Huo Xingzhou? Does he regret leaving the Huo Family? I heard that yesterday Huo Sijiao nearly got ravaged by those spoiled brats.”

“Without the backing of the Huo Family, the Huo Second Branch is like a fish on a chopping board, completely at others’ mercy.”

“He actually dares to show up here? Look at the He Family’s faces.”

The He Family members looked furious, staring venomously at Huo Xingzhou.

Among the guests, whispers circulated, all with differing expressions.

Su Heng shot a cold look at Zhao Yuzhen, signaling her not to let Qiao Xi disrupt the day’s events.

Zhao Yuzhen, lifting her skirt, hurriedly approached Qiao Xi.

“Qiao Xi, do you think you belong in such a place? Get out of here,” Zhao Yuzhen scolded in a low voice, “I’m begging you, don’t come here and embarrass me! My life is difficult enough as it is!”

Qiao Xi looked at her indifferently and said with neither arrogance nor cringing, “It seems we should also sign a ‘Letter of Severance.’ Publicly severing ties with you will spare you the embarrassment.”

“You…” Zhao Yuzhen looked at her with disgust.

Huo Xingzhou gripped Qiao Xi’s hand and said with indifference, “She is with me, and has nothing to do with your Su Family.”

On stage.

The old Master Huo’s face darkened, and he looked coldly at Huo Xingzhou.

He dared to come here and make trouble!

Wang Fengxian quickly fanned the flames, “Dad, don’t be angry. Xingzhou probably regrets his mistakes and wants to apologize to you. His presence at your birthday celebration shows he has filial respect.”

“Humph!”

Huo Weiguo let out a heavy snort, “Filial respect? Tell him to get lost! The Huo Family’s genealogy is not something to be jumped on and off at will.”

Hearing what Huo Weiguo said, Wang Fengxian and Huo Jianjun exchanged reassured glances.

Huo Beiting bit his cheek, sneering.

He grabbed the microphone, stepped off the stage, and slowly approached Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi.

“Huo Xingzhou!”

He shouted into the microphone.

The sound echoed around, deafening.

“You worthless piece of trash, depart from the Huo Family, how do you have the face to attend Grandpa’s birthday celebration? Are you here to admit your wrongs and beg for mercy?” Huo Beiting asked arrogantly as he glared at him.

Huo Xingzhou took out a specially-made black invitation card with gold embossment and unfolded it in front of him.

He quietly looked at him and said, “Isn’t it you who invited me here?”
