Chapter 140: I'm Your Dad!
As Ji Wannong's words fell, Huo Shun's thoughts were instantly pulled back to a few minutes ago.
The door of the office was unceremoniously kicked open from the outside, and the loud noise made Huo Kaidong startled.
Huo Kaidong turned around, saw that it was his son with an angry face, frowned and glared, gave his son a warning look, held the landline phone with one hand, and then continued after being interrupted: "Boss Su, I'm sorry, then I'll ask for this matterββ"
Huo Shun strode to his father's side, grabbed the phone and hung up directly.
Huo Kaidong scolded sharply: "What are you crazy about? Do you know how important my call isβ"
Huo Shun tried his best to maintain a calm tone, but he couldn't hide his gnashing of teeth and hideousness under the calm, and he asked rhetorically word by word: "Then do you know how important the provincial government's bidding is to the Huo family?" β
"For the bidding of the provincial government, it is impossible for you not to know how much manpower and financial resources the Huo family has invested before and after. You know exactly how much effort Ah Yao has put into this. If Huo's can't win the bidding smoothly, all the investment in the early stage will be in vain. No matter how big the Huo family is, they can't afford to lose money like this again and again that shouldn't happen at all! β
Huo Kaidong's expression was only momentary and his heart was weak for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal: "It's because it's important, so Mom and Dad want to grab it for you." This is your best chance to catch up with Huo Yao. β
Also...... The only chance.
If the last opportunity is not grasped, the heir of the Huo family will be completely out of touch with the big house.
Huo Shun clenched his back molars: "Dad, do you and my mother really think I still have a chance?" Can I still fight with Ah Yao? β
Huo Kaidong scolded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about!" If your mom and I don't believe you, why do we do so much for you? We do it all for you! β
Huo Shun smiled contemptuously and self-deprecatingly: "Heh, is it? Then I really want to thank you and my mom. β
Huo Kaidong: "Ah Shun, what's wrong with you?" Did Huo Yao tell you something againβ"
Huo Shun shook his head lightly and slowly retreated: "I know that no matter what you and my mother do, it is for me and for my good." I never doubted that, you two put all your heart and soul into me. But the two of you also feel from the bottom of your heart that I am not as good as Ah Yao. β
Huo Kaidong immediately panicked, his son is so strange!
He subconsciously reached out and wanted to grab his son, but Huo Shun raised his hand to block him.
Huo Kaidong was anxious: "Huo Shun! In Chu Yiying's office that day, what did Huo Yao tell you? Well? What did he tell you? No, no, no, it's not important, Ah Shun, you listen to your father, no matter what Huo Yao tells you, you can't listen to his nonsense! You know?! β
Huo Shun raised his head, looked at the panic on his father's face, and said calmly: "In Yiying's office that day, Ayao only said two words to me. The first sentence he said, I will hand over the bidding meeting to you. And he said, I believe in thee. β
Huo Kaidong was incredulous: "Just these two sentences? The two of you have obviously been in Chu Yiying's office for nearly an hour......"
Huo Shun: "These are the two sentences related to the bidding meeting. β
Huo Kaidong: "The othersβ"
Huo Shun; "The rest is our brothers' business, and it has nothing to do with others."
Huo Kaidong immediately became excited: "Someone else? You two brothers? Huo Shun, are you crazy! I'm your dad! We are family! β
Huo Shun looked at his father deeply: "Dad, of course we are a family, but we and Ayao are also a family. Back then, you and your second uncle fought for the position of heir, and they both killed each other, and no one showed mercy. That's your and your second uncle's business, Ah Yao and I weren't born at that time, and we can't care about it, let alone your business. β
"You did something sorry for the second uncle, and the second uncle also did something sorry for you. What is the relationship between you two brothers, you two brothers toss by themselves, what does this have to do with me and Ah Yao? We brothers don't get involved in your brothers' affairs, and you brothers don't come to our brothers' affairs. β
"You brothers don't want this idea of affection, but our brothers cherish this idea very much. Yes, I know how much you and Mom love me, and since I was born, you two have put all your heart and soul into me, so I never hide anything from you both, don't you? β
"In my heart, I never hid it from you and my mother, but I didn't say it clearly enough? I've told both of you more than once that Ah Yao and I have given too much to maintain this brotherhood. The two of us struggled between the grievances of the previous generation and the position of the heir, trying to find a balance that would not hurt this bit of brotherhood. β
"I'm just Ah Yao, a younger brother, and he's just my brother, the two of us just want to be good brothers, why is it so difficult? You and my mom really love me, should you respect my wishes? Shouldn't you two help me fulfill my wishes? Let me get what I wantβ"
Huo Kaidong asked angrily: "Then don't you want to get Huo's?" β
Huo Shun: "I want to get it, but not in this kind of indiscriminate way, but by my own ability." Got it? β
Huo Shun's tone became extremely weak: "Dad, I have to win my brother once in my life, I can't lose to my brother forever." I want to win my brother once in a dignified manner, not because my brother doesn't have his parents to protect me, I have to rely on small tricks to win him, I have to rely on real skills. β
Huo Kaidong: "What nonsense! β
Huo Shun: "Dad, you and my mother have cheated to help me win Ayao a lot of times." When I was a kid, my brothers and I played games, and you and my mom cheated and helped me win the game. I know, but I don't say it, because I understand that as long as I win Ayao, even if it's cheating, both of you will be happy. I wanted to make the two of you happy, so I won Yao by cheating again and again. Now, I don't want to cheat. Even if I lose, I lose with dignity and integrity, and I am not aggrieved when I lose. β
Huo Kaidong: "Ah Shun, do you know why I lost to Huo Kaixun? It's because I'm not as shameless as him, not as despicable as him, not as insidious as him, and not as ruthless as him. You really can't follow in your father's footsteps! β
In the end, Huo Kaidong's tone was even a little trembling.
Huo Shun didn't want to demolish the bit of dignity that his father worked so hard to maintain.
Huo Kaixun's only remaining humanity was left to his father, his brother. Huo Kaixun was merciless to his father, and he was a dead hand, but Huo Kaixun never used despicable and shameless means.
On the contrary, in order to win Huo Kaixun, his father exhausted the means that could not be put on the table.
His father lost to Huo Kaixun, but he was not as good as a person, and he had to admit it.
Huo Shun only said: "Dad, what I can see, Ah Yao can also see." Whether it was playing games when I was a child, or doing business when I grew up, every time I won Ah Yao by cheating, when you and my mother showed off in front of grandma, did Ah Yao say a word? Did he break through us? Take 10,000 steps back, Ah Yao didn't find out that you and my mother helped me cheat, wouldn't Huo Kaixun find out? But why did Huo Kaixun also remain silent? Didn't you and my mom ever doubt it? β
Huo Kaidong: "Ah Shun, what do you mean?" β
