577 People Die for Wealth, Birds Die for Food
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei looked at the old man in shock. “Dad, are you confused? We’re your biological sons. If you take back our assets, do you still want us to live?”
The old man said, “Hmph, without my assets, can’t you live? You’re so self-righteous. I’m really too disappointed in you. None of our Li family’s descendants are capable. As long as any of you are capable, I’ll have a successor. I won’t hand over my assets to outsiders.”
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face turned cold.
The “outsider” the old man was referring to was clearly him.
!!
He was indeed old and simple-minded. He was even more annoying when he was being candid.
Li Tingye glanced at Xiao Ran, who was watching coldly and walked closer to Old Master. He instigated, “Dad, you’ve been lying down for a few years and don’t know that the outside world has changed.”
“Li Zecheng has managed the Li Kang Group well and is already on par with Xiaoran’s Angel Group. If the Li family can recover the shares of the Soaring Cloud Group, our Li family’s revival will be imminent.”
Huo Xiaoran felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Li Tingye’s words.
It turned out that in the four years that he had left the capital, he had actually expanded Li Zecheng’s taste. The latter had actually snatched most of the Angel Group’s business.
Hmph, although he didn’t mind Li Zecheng poaching his business, Li Zecheng had bullied Qiao An like this when he wasn’t around and ignored his guidance. That had provoked him.
When the old man heard that Li Zecheng had become successful, his eyes widened. The joy in his eyes was so intense.
“Zecheng is successful?” He was overjoyed.
Li Tinglei said, “Dad, your memory isn’t good now, so you keep forgetting the happy matters at home. Our Li family is different from a few years ago. Because Zecheng has become rich, his father and siblings have all been stuffed into the company. Now that the Li Kang Group has strengthened, we’re already ranked first with Xiaoran’s Angel Group.”
The old man got up excitedly and sat down. “Is this true?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Li Tingye took the opportunity to say, “Dad, if you return the Soaring Cloud Group to the Li family, our Li family and the Huo family will have equal competitiveness. I believe that in the near future, the Li family will regain its glory.”
The old man had a bright expression. However, when he noticed Huo Xiaoran here, his smile faded slightly.
He looked at Xiaoran guiltily and deliberately probed, “Xiaoran, how do you think this will should be written?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s not convenient for Xiaoran to interfere in Old Master’s matters.”
The old man said to Xiaoran apologetically, “Xiaoran, I originally wanted to transfer all my assets to you. But now that Zecheng has done well and you know that he’s my biological grandson, I can’t neglect him. After all, he has the honor and decline of the entire Li family on his shoulders. Therefore, I want to take back the Soaring Cloud Group and let you and Li Zecheng split the shares equally. How about that?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Old Master Li speechlessly and cursed in his heart. As expected, a leopard couldn’t change its spots.
The old man had spent his life thinking for the Li family and even betrayed his mother’s promise selfishly. He took the glory his mother had created for himself.
In the past, he was young and could not fight them.
But now that he was an adult and had been in the business world for many years, he was also sharp. How could he still be controlled?
He had quickly reshuffled the Soaring Cloud Group four years ago. Those old shareholders who were loyal to the Li family had been bribed by him. Huo Xiaoran had even opened a green channel for them to hold shares in the Angel Group at a low price.
The old shareholders were vested in the interests of the Soaring Cloud Group and the Angel Group. How could they serve the Li Kang Group anymore?
After all, humans die for wealth, and birds die for food.
Later on, he escaped with a single move and established the Angel Group again. He introduced the technology of the Soaring Cloud Group and gave the core employees double their original salary. The Soaring Cloud Group had long changed its name.
In the past few years, even if he was not in around, he still had his partner, Huo Zhou, to manage his business. He trusted Huo Zhou’s ability.
The Li family did not know about Souring Cloud’s current situation and actually still wanted to occupy his shares and compete with him.
He could only say that they were indeed stupid.
Huo Xiaoran cleared his throat and said, “The Soaring Cloud Group is the wealth my mother gave the Li family. Logically speaking, you should consider this in your distribution. However, since you don’t care about morals and want to take back the Soaring Cloud Group, I have nothing to say.”
The old man also knew that he had done a very wicked thing and kept apologizing to Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, forgive me. I can’t watch the Li family fall. After all, they’re all my descendants.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at the old man steadily and reminded him, “Old Master, you just said that you’ve let my mother down in your life, so you received retribution. Since you believe in karma, why did you do such a thing again? Aren’t you afraid that retribution will come again?”
The smile on the old man’s face disappeared bit by bit when he saw Xiaoran’s confident face.
His rationality returned.
“Xiaoran, I was just saying. I haven’t made a final decision. Go back first. I’ll think about it.”
Huo Xiaoran took out a few invitations and handed them to his sister-in-law. Then, without a word, he turned around and left.
When Xiao Ran closed the door, Li Tingye couldn’t wait to ask the old man, “Dad, what do you mean? This is the best opportunity to take back Souring Cloud’s shares. Didn’t Xiaoran agree?”
The old man rolled his eyes at him. “Do you really think I’m muddle-headed? Li Zecheng can rise because Xiaoran had an accident and gave Zecheng space to develop. Now that Xiaoran is back, if we go overboard and Xiaoran goes against Zecheng in a fit of anger, it won’t be long before Zecheng falls from the clouds again.”
Li Tingye disagreed. “Dad, you’re overthinking. In the four years that Xiaoran was absent, Zecheng has already stabilized his connections and business. It’s impossible for Xiaoran to tear Zecheng down in a short period of time.”
The old man said, “It’s better to be careful.”
After Huo Xiaoran left the old man’s bedroom, his expression was sinister.
Qiao An was surprised to see that he was vaguely unhappy. “Brother Xiaoran, what did Old Master say? Did he provoke you quickly?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at An’an and saw the worry in her eyes. He suddenly smiled.
Actually, money was just a worldly possession.
It was the best thing in life to have Qiao An care about him like this.
“It’s fine. Let’s go,” Xiao Ran said.
Falcon looked at his son worriedly. He walked over uneasily and patted Xiao Ran’s shoulder. “Son, don’t hold it in. Tell Dad. Dad will help you solve it.”
Xiaoran said, “Dad, you don’t have to interfere in business matters.”
