606: Don’t look down on the poor boss because he is poor!!!

At the entrance of Lin Corporation.

Because Huo Qichen and his father were both prominent figures in the Demon Capital, their identities were quickly recognized.

Soon, whispers of schadenfreude, mockery, sneering, and disdain came in a continuous stream.

Hearing them, the veins on the foreheads of Huo Qichen and his father throbbed.

Rage +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1... "Oh, oh, oh~~~ Aren't those the Huo Family father and son?"

"They used to be so imposing, how did they fall into such destitution now? And they're still lingering at the entrance of Lin Corporation, how utterly disgraceful."

"Hmph, the Huo Family used to rely on their power to show off everywhere; now they're getting their just desserts!"

"That Huo Qichen used to always look down his nose at people, thinking he was someone important..."

"Now he's paralyzed, worse than an ordinary person, yet he still dares to come out and make a spectacle of himself."

..."The Huo Family is now desperate, it seems they want to cooperate with our Lin Corporation. But with their current state, it'd be a miracle if the Chairman would even consider them..."

"This Huo Tingfeng, too, at his age, still brings his disabled son to face rejection. What is he thinking?"

"Huo Qichen used to claim that no woman could resist his charm, didn't he? I wonder if he still has that confidence now?"

"Please, stop joking?! With his current twisted mouth and crooked face, he could scare girls unconscious if he went out at night; he wouldn't even need makeup to act in a horror movie. Hahaha..."

..."The Huo Family brought this upon themselves. They played dirty tricks in the business world, and now it's backfired. They still want to beg for help? No way!"

"Exactly, exactly. Spending tens of billions to buy a piece of wasteland is an unprecedented marvel. In the entire real estate industry, who doesn't know the Huo Family's name now?"

"It's truly lamentable! The once immensely glorious Huo Corporation, who would have thought it would come to this..."

"..."

Listening to these taunts, like sharp arrows piercing them,

the faces of the Overbearing CEO father and son turned crimson, veins bulging on their foreheads, like angry little snakes writhing beneath their skin.

Huo Qichen's eyes, in particular, were wide and round, burning with fierce anger.

His already distorted face from paralysis became even more hideous and terrifying.

His lips trembled violently, wanting to roar in rage, but the overwhelming sense of humiliation choked his throat.

He could only emit a low "woo woo" sound, like a wounded beast trapped in a cage, filled with anger but nowhere to vent it... "A bunch of snobbish bastards!"

"Thirty years east, thirty years west, do not bully an Overbearing CEO in poverty."

"When I rise again one day, I will make you all bow down to me."

"Dad, let's go! I can't take it anymore!!!"

"Since Lin Corporation doesn't know what's good for it, why should we bother trying to warm up to them?!"

"Things will work out in the end! Heaven bless our Huo Family! We can absolutely find other ways to break this deadlock!"

"..."

As the saying goes:

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone an Overbearing CEO who thinks highly of himself?!

After repeated humiliation, Huo Qichen finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed at Huo Tingfeng with all his might, his voice tinged with pleading and despair.

When had the esteemed Crown Prince of the Huo Family ever suffered such a great humiliation?

Now he was like a clown on display, allowing everyone to mock him freely???

What a great humiliation!!!

Facing his Good Son's plea, Huo Tingfeng seemed not to hear. His fists were clenched at his sides, fingernails digging deep into his palms.

The searing pain, however, did nothing to quell the anger and shame in his heart.

He wasn't a masochist; why wouldn't he want to leave in a huff?

But he also knew deeply...

The Huo Family was now like a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

And cooperating with Lin Corporation was their only lifeline they could grasp now.

If they left at this moment, it would completely cut off the Huo Family's path to survival.

So no matter what, they couldn't leave!!!

After realizing this, Huo Tingfeng turned his head coldly, glared at his Good Son, and cursed him, his eyes filled with disappointment and resentment.

If it weren't for being misled by this idiot... how could the Huo Family's business empire be on the brink of collapse overnight?!

This was all Huo Qichen's fault. As the eternal sinner of the family, dying to atone for his sins would be too light.

How dare he even complain about being disgraced? Afraid of humiliation???

..."Leave? Where do you plan to go?"

"If it weren't for your idiotic incompetence, how would the family have fallen into such a desperate situation?"

"I worked hard for half my life, and the Huo Corporation I painstakingly built has now been completely ruined by you."

"I was once the high and mighty, brilliant patriarch of the Huo Family."

"Now I have to endure the pointing fingers of these ants here. Who do you say is to blame for this?"

..."You still have the nerve to say you want to go back? And find other solutions?"

"We're at a dead end now. Besides cooperating with Lin Corporation, what other options are there?"

"Tell me! Tell me!!!"

"Are you mute? Weren't you quite articulate just now? Keep talking—"

"..."

Huo Tingfeng was already feeling stifled and took the opportunity to vent all his inner anger on his Good Son.

As for Huo Qichen, who was being thoroughly scolded,

a flicker of unwillingness and annoyance crossed his eyes, but he could only lower his head helplessly.

He knew very well that he was indeed the family's sinner now and had no right to offer opinions.

Coupled with his paralyzed body, he had also lost all ability to resist, only able to cling to the family like a parasite, barely surviving.

At this moment, he was like a phoenix stripped of its feathers, completely devoid of his former prestige and dominance.

"Hmph! Useless trash!"

"..."

Seeing that Huo Qichen dared not speak further, the anger in Huo Tingfeng's heart did not dissipate, and he cursed him again impatiently.

Immediately after,

he scanned his surroundings, anxiously looking for a way to break the deadlock.

After all, just standing at the main entrance and waiting didn't seem very effective; he had to find a way to meet Ma Yingzhe first...

Just then, Huo Tingfeng's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of an old beggar by the roadside, holding a broken bowl and begging.

He was dressed in rags.

He was huddled in the corner, shivering, looking very pitiful.

Pitiful?

Got it! (o゜▽゜)o☆.

Huo Tingfeng's eyes lit up.

He then quickly walked to Huo Qichen's wheelchair, firmly gripped the armrests, and commanded without question:

"You lie down on the ground, and act pitiful like that beggar. Cry and kowtow, begging, trying your best to maximize the 'pitiful' aspect."

"Perhaps this way, we might be able to evoke Ma Yingzhe's sympathy..."

"..."
