Chapter 209 Chairman Huo
"Chairman Huo, if you don't say anything, I'm hanging up—" Huo Junge's voice sounded very calm, but in that light tone, there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible teasing hidden in it. This teasing was like a very thin spider silk, floating in the air, making it difficult to grasp.
"Junge, back then... it was my first time being a father, and there were many things I didn't do well enough. Can't you forgive me?" When Huo Boxiong heard Huo Junge say coldly that he was going to hang up the phone, his heart suddenly tightened, and his voice function seemed to be restored in an instant.
His voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of nervousness and uneasiness. Huo Boxiong had never thought that his son would treat him so coldly, which made him feel shocked and lost.
However, the indifference in Huo Junge's voice was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Huo Boxiong, who had been arrogant all his life. How could he not hear it? This indifference was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.
Despite this, Huo Boxiong was still unwilling to believe that his son would really be so heartless as to break off all ties with his family. Even though Huo Junge had not been in contact with his family for more than 20 years, Huo Boxiong still felt that time would ease the situation and dilute Huo Junge's prejudice against him. He still held a glimmer of hope that Huo Junge would forgive him and accept him as a father again.
Return to the Huo family and lead them to greater glory.
Huo Junge's business talent has been fully demonstrated in recent years. He is like a shining business star. Without relying on any resources from the Huo family, he started from scratch with his own wisdom and courage and founded the Junge Group.
After more than 20 years of hard work, the market value of Junge Group has skyrocketed like a rocket. It has now far surpassed the Huo Group, which has decades of history, and even reached several times as much.
However, in sharp contrast, the Huo Group has been in trouble due to the impact of the global economic crisis in recent years. Although they have tried to transform themselves many times, they have never been able to accurately grasp the market's bonus points.
Every transformation of the Huo family is like a gamble, and the Huo Group is obviously unlucky and has failed repeatedly.
Although the Huo Group still maintains its huge scale and reputation on the surface, it is actually like a spent force, with only a facade and a hollow interior.
No one knows all this better than Huo Boxiong. As the real head of the Huo Group, he has witnessed the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the group with his own eyes, and knows very well that the current Huo Group is nothing but an empty shell.
At this moment, the entire Huo family and Huo Daxiong himself desperately need Huo Junge's return to help the Huo family revive and rebuild their glory.
"Reminiscing about the past? Sorry I can't keep you company." Huo Junge raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His voice was calm and cold, as if he had no interest in Huo Boxiong's proposal.
A long-distance call across thousands of mountains and rivers, just to reminisce about the past? Huo Junge's mind has always been sharp, and he naturally realized without any brain filtering that this was not Huo Boxiong's real intention.
As smart as Huo Junge is, he already has a thorough understanding of Huo Boxiong.
No one knows a father better than his son. Huo Junge knew very well that Huo Boxiong was not the kind of person who would make a long-distance call to reminisce for no reason. Huo Boxiong was a shrewd, capable and scheming man, and every move he made must have a clear purpose and intention.
"Hey - wait, you - you had a child and didn't even tell your family, Junge, you are the father after all, don't you want to give me the right to know?" Huo Boxiong began to act pitiful, trying to seduce Huo Junge's sympathy.
"I dare not." Huo Junge said indifferently.
Huo Junge's words "dare not" have a deeper meaning. Does Huo Boxiong think that he dare not not leave him the right to know?
"Don't dare? The child is so big now, and you don't even ask me, the grandfather, to see her so that I can prepare some gifts for the child. Who is the girl's mother? It would be disrespectful to the girl if she doesn't meet her in-laws for so many years." Huo Boxiong thought that the topic was finally started smoothly. The father and son started from the shallow to the deep. As long as there is a chance to start, no matter how big the knot is, it can be untied.
Recently, the elderly Huo Boxiong has been facing a flood of frustrated information from all sides. Although he has tried his best to deal with it, the limitations of his age and physical condition make him seem a little overwhelmed when dealing with these problems.
At the same time, Huo Junting, who was beside Huo Boxiong, was also trying hard to solve these problems. However, despite his efforts, the solutions he proposed could only solve the superficial problems at hand, lacking in depth and long-term considerations of interests. This made Huo Boxiong doubt Huo Junting's ability, and also made him miss his former successor Huo Junge even more.
Huo Junge showed his outstanding ability to take charge of things on his own when he served as the successor. Every time he proposed a plan, it was eye-opening, not only solving current problems, but also taking into account long-term development and interests.
More than 20 years ago, Huo Boxiong deeply admired Huo Junge's ability and decision-making power and thought he was an outstanding leader.
However, unexpectedly, Huo Junge had a serious disagreement with his family on the subsequent issue of choosing a spouse. The intensification of this conflict made the originally harmonious family atmosphere suddenly tense.
At this critical moment, misfortune struck - Jiang Yun suddenly disappeared, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth. At the same time, Huo Junge also suffered a terrible accident. This series of misfortunes, like dominoes, triggered a series of consequences that no one wanted to see.
Looking back, the relationship between Huo Boxiong and Huo Junge was one of loving father and filial son, which was admirable. Huo Boxiong never thought that he would lose his excellent son just because of a woman, and he would no longer be able to enjoy the happiness of having his son by his side.
Looking back, those past events flashed through Huo Boxiong's mind, making him feel heartbroken. Over the years, he had thought about taking the initiative to repair the broken father-son relationship between him and Huo Junge.
However, every time when he finally overcame his inner pride, humbled himself, and mustered up the courage to look for Huo Junge, he was always met with the other party's ruthless rejection and indifference, like a basin of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in his heart.
