Chapter 1448 Please continue to pretend to be sick
Kill your parents and destroy your future.
For some people, the two things can be placed in the same position.
In Hong Lai's view, even his own father would not allow him to do anything that would ruin his prospects.
"You... okay, okay, now your wings are hardened, you dare to show your teeth to me!"
Hong Zhan was extremely angry and scolded angrily.
"Dad, you said you are quite old and have been fighting with your uncle for half your life. Why haven't you recognized the reality clearly?"
Hong Lai knew his father's temperament very well. To put it bluntly, he was an old gangster.
Back then, he and his uncle came to Xiaobai Kingdom to make a living. Taking advantage of their strength, they formed gangs to occupy the territory and conquered the world with their fists.
At that time, the uncle's character was relatively timid, and Hong Zhan was very similar to him in this way.
It can be said that for the uncle's business to grow, his father was basically responsible for it in the early stage.
However, Huabangcai later got out of hand, and the relationship between the two fell apart. The uncle became a big deal, which was unacceptable to his father's love.
Therefore, my father has been competing with his uncle all these years, trying to prove himself.
It would be fine to say that my father was proficient in business, but he was a simple-minded guy with strong limbs.
After living for decades, I basically didn’t accomplish anything big.
If it weren't for the uncle in Huabang Cuisine, I'm afraid he wouldn't be sitting where he is today.
Hong Lai didn't like his father's principles of doing things, and he couldn't stand his short-sightedness of seeking only profit and using any means.
Although Hong Lai also felt that his uncle's idea of "not going public" was nonsense, but no matter what, he was able to make Huabang Cuisine the scale it is today.
Compared to my father, it's like a world away.
This cooperation with Novan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Hong Lai.
With his father's character, he will definitely try his best to make the cooperation suit his wishes.
If this really happens, then this cooperation will be ruined! He simply does not have the ability to control such a large amount of money for business development! If not, the joint venture will collapse within a few years.
Hong Lai didn't want the opportunity he had worked so hard to win to go down the drain.
When necessary, he can risk everything and stand on the opposite side of his father! "Dad, that's it, think about it for yourself!"
Hong Lai snorted lightly: "If you dare to do anything to Ye Fan, don't blame me for being unkind!"
"You... Just say it again and try!"
Hong Tu was furious.
"I know better than anyone what you have done over the years.
How many bad debts of Huabang Cuisine came from your hands?"
Hong Lai gritted his teeth secretly and shouted in a deep voice: "Now that I am the chairman of Huafan Joint Venture, don't look down on your own family.
If you want to pull me down to take charge of the joint venture, I advise you to give up this idea!"
"Who...who said I want to be the chairman?"
Hong Tu was shocked.
Although he is not sure whether he will take office, Hong Tu is still eager to have the say in this joint venture.
He has longed for this joint venture to go global under his own control and become the world's most famous catering brand like the Golden Arches.
"Dad, who can't see your ambition?"
Hong Lai despised it and refused to do so.
If Hong Tu hadn't been his biological father, he would have secretly found someone to kill him.
They say he cheats on his father, but because of his biological father, the uncle knows that he has good abilities, but he is always on guard.
This is not a scam, it’s a scam! If you don’t have diamonds, don’t get the porcelain job.
Not only did my father not own diamonds, he also always wanted to keep porcelain as his own.
What an injustice! Hong Lai was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Since I became an adult, I have never asked my father to protect me.
He would rather cause trouble in the name of Huabang Cuisine than have anything to do with Hong Tu.
If not for any other reason, I just want my uncle to know that I am on his side.
At least, for now! "Dad, that's it, I still have things to be busy with."
Hong Lai looked at his watch: "For the sake of father and son, let me give you a warning.
Ye Fan, Mr. Ye, he is not a good person.
If you provoke him badly, he may kill you in the next second.
Don't think I'm being alarmist, you can just send someone to Suimoto Kabukicho to inquire."
After saying that, Hong Lai hung up the phone.
"Um?
What are you doing? I haven’t finished speaking yet! Hey, hey!”
Hong Tu was so angry that he made several calls but was blocked by Hong Lai. In the end, he even turned off his phone to avoid his contact.
"Damn brat!"
Hong Tu was so angry that he threw away his phone, "It seems that even you look down on me! Huh, isn't it just Ye Fan? What's the big deal! Brat, they say a filial son emerges from under a stick, how could I teach you to be such a blind eye?"
Wolf!"
Hong Tu asked himself that he had often beaten Hong Lai. Sometimes he did not make mistakes, and he would teach him the principles of life.
But in the end, he kept turning his elbows outwards and contradicted himself everywhere! Huh, this is totally counterintuitive! You warned me, right?
Okay, I want to see what the background of that Ye Fan is, so that you are willing to be a licking dog! At the moment, Hong Tu made a few calls and invited some of his old buddies who worked hard in the early years to get together.
.
But it was said that Ye Fan, led by Hong Zhan and Hong Xianxian, came to Mr. Hong's bedroom.
Mr. Hong lives in a manor in a neighborhood on the edge of New City. It is adjacent to a small lake. There are not many people living nearby. The scenery is pleasant and it is very suitable for resting.
It was still snowing outside, but Mr. Hong's bedroom was still as warm as spring.
"Dad, Mr. Ye is here."
Hong Zhan opened the door and whispered.
Mr. Hong was leaning on a Taishi chair, with a thin blanket covering his body.
There is a steel tea cup placed on the square table at hand, and the hot tea inside is filled with steam.
"Well, please invite him in."
Mr. Hong picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Take out some of the tea leaves I have collected.
I remember the last time I went to Novan, I saw a lot of tea leaves in the chairman's office.
That guy Lei Jun said that they all like to drink tea, especially their chairman. His bones will itch if he doesn't drink it for a day."
"yes."
Hong Zhan nodded and then led Ye Fan into the bedroom.
"Brother Ye, please sit down."
Mr. Hong did not move, so Hong Zhan moved a chair to the opposite side of the old man and asked Ye Fan to sit down.
Then he went to the study to brew some tea, filled the jar with it, and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Thank you very much."
Seeing such a primitive way of drinking tea, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile secretly.
"Mr. Xiaoye, this is a century-old fir tree that I have collected. It is of very high quality. You can try it."
Mr. Hong said with a smile.
Ye Fan nodded, picked up the teacup and blew the hot air gently, feeling a refreshing fragrance coming out of the teapot, and his spirit suddenly lifted.
Looking down, I saw that the tea soup in this old-fashioned vat was extremely clear. Although the brewing technique was rough, the tea leaves were neatly arranged and separated. The tea-making craftsmanship alone was amazing.
“Great tea!”
Even before you drink it, you know it’s expensive! Ye Fan squinted his eyes, feeling the aroma of the tea.
Mr. Hong smiled slightly and seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Fan's appearance.
Hong Xianxian stood behind Mr. Hong and snorted softly when she saw this: "Pretending!"
"Xianxian, don't talk nonsense."
Mr. Hong turned his head and reprimanded: "Mr. Xiaoye, he is a real person who understands tea."
"Where, where."
Ye Fan smiled modestly, took a sip from the teacup, then placed the teacup on the square table, squinted his eyes and smacked his lips.
After a few pecks with the tip of his tongue, Ye Fan let out a long breath.
"Mr. Hong is really lucky to receive Lao Cong of this level! No matter how much money I spend on this kind of tea, I still can't get it!"
"Mr. Xiaoye is joking, you are a billionaire, how can you not receive good tea?"
Mr. Hong waved his hand.
"There are some things that money can't buy.
Old man, do you think so?"
Ye Fan asked with deep meaning.
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, indeed."
"Brother Ye, you came to visit my father alone. Do you have anything to say?"
Hong Zhan sat on the other side of Mr. Hong and asked proactively.
In fact, during the morning meeting, he wanted to ask Ye Fan why he proposed to remove him from the position of chairman.
However, there were many people talking and it was not convenient for him to ask directly, so he had to hold it back.
Originally, he wanted to wait a few days and find a suitable opportunity to talk to Mark again.
I never thought that Ye Fan would be here just in the afternoon.
"Here, I want to apologize to Brother Hong first."
Ye Fan smiled and cupped his hands: "I don't like Brother Hong very much about our joint venture between Novan and Huabang Cuisine.
Although Brother Hong is weak, he has a straightforward personality, so I won’t talk nonsense. I hope you won’t be angry.”
"..." Hong Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I'm not angry, I'm just a little confused."
"Hong Zhan, if I guess correctly, Mr. Xiaoye is actually protecting you!"
Mr. Hong made a hahaha noise.
"oh?"
Ye Fan was surprised: "Old man, have you seen it?"
"Although I am old, I am not so stupid that I cannot read your thoughts."
Mr. Hong smiled.
"It was a radical decision on my part to appoint Hong Zhan as chairman.
Originally, I was worried that he was not capable enough and could not control Hong Lai, which would affect the cooperation between our two families.
But now it seems that Mr. Xiaoye can handle Hong Lai by himself, so I can save my worries."
Hong Xianxian was a little unconvinced: "Grandpa, do you trust Mark too much?
He is not a good person!"
"Will not."
Mr. Hong shook his head, "I can disbelieve anyone, except him."
"Why?"
Hong Xianxian asked quickly.
"Why don't you ask? Anyway, our two families will cooperate in the future. Just don't cause trouble to Mr. Xiaoye."
Mr. Hong waved his hand and did not elaborate.
Ye Fan smiled and echoed: "Miss Hong, we will be partners from now on. You have to be good, otherwise I won't save face for you next time."
"you!"
Hong Xianxian was angry: "You're not done smashing my car yet!"
"Ha ha!"
Ye Fan laughed, then his face changed, and he whispered: "Mr. Hong, I have something to ask for!"
"you say."
"I hope Mr. Hong can continue to pretend to be sick!"
"ah?"
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Xiaoye, you misunderstood. My illness... I'm afraid there is no cure."
"Will not."
Ye Fan shook his head, "Others may not be able to do anything, but in my opinion, it's just a minor illness!"
