Chapter 608 - 608 Haggard
608 Haggard
When the two of them came out of the company, they happened to bump into Li Zecheng. Huo Zhou said angrily, “Li Zecheng, how dare you return to the Angel Group?”
Li Zecheng smiled like a spring breeze. He was in the limelight now and was filled with vitality. He looked at Huo Xiaoran arrogantly and teased, “Aiya, it’s been a few days since we last met. Uncle… Oh, wrong, you’ve already broken off ties with our Li family. You’re no longer my uncle. Why has CEO Huo become so haggard?”
“I heard that CEO Huo quarreled with your delicate wife. CEO Huo must have pretended to be a gentleman for many years. Now that his true colors have been revealed and his career is not going smoothly, your delicate wife will probably despise the poor and love the rich and fire you, right?”
Huo Xiaoran was so angry that he clenched his fists. “Li Zecheng, you’re too arrogant.”
Li Zecheng stood in the posture of a victor and insulted Huo Xiaoran. “Didn’t I learn my arrogance from you? You were very arrogant in the past. But now, you’re worse than a chicken. You can’t be arrogant, right?”
Huo Xiaoran straightened his back and walked up to Li Zecheng. He patted his shoulder and said to Li Zecheng, “Li Zecheng, feel free to be arrogant because today will definitely be the most ignorant moment in your life. Wait another week. When our new product launch is out, you can only tuck your tail between your legs.”
Li Zecheng’s expression turned very ugly. “New product launch? The Angel Group has developed a new product again?” Every time the pharmaceutical group released a new product, it was no different from a revolution and would have a profound impact on the pharmaceutical world.
The Angel Group was able to stand in the capital in the shortest time possible because of a few new medical products developed by the Angel Group. The employees of the Angel Group’s research and development department were all outstanding students from the best medical universities in the world. They also had the guidance of a world-renowned pharmaceutical professor and received high recognition from society.
If the Angel Group could develop a special medicine this time, the Angel Group would most likely be revived.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Yes, the new product is very accessible. It will be in production soon.”
Li Zecheng was in disbelief. “Impossible, you’re lying to me. It’s impossible for your Angel Group’s R&D department to develop special medicine in the short term. The senior experts of the R&D department have already gone to the Li Kang Group.”
Huo Xiaoran chuckled. “The experts you poached? In my eyes, they’re just third-rate slaves. The true research and development personnel of our Angel Group are the top talents in the world.”
After a pause, Huo Xiaoran said, “Moreover, because the situation is special, the clinical trial will be at the forefront. Therefore, the release time will be shortened.”
Huo Zhou saw Li Zecheng’s dark expression and smiled proudly. “Li Zecheng, you’re really too inexperienced to fight a professional medical university genius like Xiaoran.”
Then, Huo Zhou instructed the guard, “Remember this person. If he comes to the Angel Group again, beat him up.”
Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou left.
Li Zecheng’s gaze followed them as they left; his eyes filled with unwillingness. He did not believe that he would not kill them this time.
Li Zecheng took out his phone and called his informant in the Angel Group.
The call went through and the other party said in fear and trepidation, “Young Master Li, CEO Huo has been taking very good precautions recently, especially all the changes in the company. Only an extremely small number of core employees know the inside story. As for me, I don’t know anything.”
Li Zecheng frowned. “Isn’t your status in the Angel Group very high? If you don’t know about the company’s changes, he’s guarding against you.”
When the other party heard this, his voice trembled in fear.
Li Zecheng asked again, “What’s wrong with the company recently?”
“The company seems to be as usual. CEO Huo only casually said at the shareholders’ meeting that the Angel Group was established because of kindness, so it naturally can’t tolerate those ingrates. These words were clearly directed at you. He only said these words and didn’t give the shareholders a detailed explanation for your departure.”
Li Zecheng was furious. The more Huo Xiaoran casually talked about his departure, the more the shareholders imagined the worst.
“Did any shareholders speak up for me?” Li Zecheng asked.
The other party was silent for a moment before saying, “I also deliberately mentioned your departure, but the other shareholders are very indifferent to your departure. However, a few shareholders said that it’s good that CEO Huo is back.”
Only then did Li Zecheng understand that he no longer had any influence in the Angel Group.
As Li Zecheng’s career rose, his status in the Li family villa increased day by day.
Not only did he take back the property of the third branch and let his mother and sister return to the Li family, but the two uncles of the Li family also flattered him.
Even the terminally ill Old Master Li was very gratified by Li Zecheng’s success.
When Li Zecheng returned home, almost everyone in the Li family would surround him and exchange pleasantries.
“Zecheng, how’s the company recently?”
Li Zecheng said, “Don’t worry. I have the Lu Corporation’s funds now. I believe our corporation will rise quickly.”
Li Tingye flattered, “Zecheng is still the best. Hmph, that Huo Xiaoran is probably going to become a drowning dog. He’s always been so arrogant. Let’s see if he can still be arrogant in the future after the company falls.”
As Li Zecheng sat comfortably in the lazy chair, the servant immediately went forward and massaged his shoulders and back.
Li Zecheng said, “When the Angel Group goes bankrupt, Huo Xiaoran will beg me to let him off. At that time, you will have revenge.”
“Yes, yes, yes. My Zecheng is successful now. Second Uncle can also benefit from it,” the second branch said.
Huang Yushu sat in the wheelchair and smiled comfortably as she listened to Li Zecheng’s confident words.
Only Li Ze’en’s eyes were filled with worry.
She did not want Huo Xiaoran to collapse. She could not believe that the high and mighty Huo Xiaoran could calmly accept the heavy blow of falling from the clouds.
She had a special relationship with Huo Xiaoran. She hoped that her uncle, who had similar experiences as her, could be treated well.
Li Ze’en reminded Li Zecheng, “Brother, Uncle is the most outstanding talent in the Li family. If you fight him, don’t be too arrogant. Be careful not to be tricked by Uncle and not be aware of it. Moreover, I believe that if Uncle falls from the clouds, he can still make a comeback. But if you fall from the clouds, can you still make a comeback?”
Her words sounded both encouraging and teasing.
Li Zecheng was silent and thought about his sister’s words.
Whether Huo Xiaoran could make a comeback was certain because he had the research and development capabilities of the pharmaceutical company and the ability to manage the company’s business.
