Cheng Min sat at the top with a gloomy expression, tapping the table with his index finger.

The entire conference room was filled with the slow and rhythmic sound of "knock knock knock", and the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

"Old Xu, don't be so ungrateful." Zhao Yiping couldn't help but take the initiative to attack: "Everyone has witnessed the contributions that President Cheng has made to the Huo Group during this period. Letting President Cheng be the president of the Huo Group is well-deserved!"

"The Huo family is where it is today thanks to President Huo's efforts." Xu Zhou said sullenly, "President Huo is recuperating at home after an accident, and you're already so eager to seize power? Who the hell are you, Zhao Yiping? You're just a dog raised by Cheng Min. How dare you talk to me?!"

"He's not worthy, so how could I be?" Cheng Min slammed the table and said, "Xu Zhou, stop being unreasonable."

"Am I being unreasonable?" Xu Zhou sneered, "Mr. Cheng, you were promoted by Mr. Huo. Without Mr. Huo, how could you, Cheng Min, be where you are today? Mr. Huo got in a car accident, and you couldn't wait any longer?"

"Just because Huo Yan got into a car accident, does that mean the Huo Company doesn't need to develop anymore? Do the tens of thousands of employees below them no longer need to eat?" Cheng Min angrily asked, "Will the world stop spinning without Huo Yan?"

"It's been so long, and apart from the occasional appearance of his young wife, when has he ever been seen?" Cheng Min swept a gloomy gaze over the others. "We're in the Huo family to make money, not to be slaves! What era is this? Why are you still thinking about a servant serving two masters?"

"Cheng Min, don't confuse things!" Xu Zhou was equally furious. He stood up and scolded, "Mr. Huo only has broken legs, it's not like he can't work. He's suffered such a sudden setback, so it's normal for him to want to rest and recuperate for a while and adjust his mood."

"At this point, we're demanding a replacement for the president. Isn't that just adding insult to injury and rubbing salt into his wounds? Ask yourself, are you worthy of President Huo? What's the difference between your behavior and that of an ungrateful person?"

"Mr. Cheng is right. We're here to work and earn money, not to do charity." Zhao Yiping snorted coldly, "We didn't sell ourselves to Mr. Huo. He's psychologically fragile and can't bear the reality of his disabled legs. That's his business. Is Huo's company, as large as this, going to shut down like him?"

"When did Huo's stop working? Isn't it thriving?" Xu Zhou's face flushed with anger. "Who here didn't make a killing with Mr. Huo? When Mr. Huo was doing well, everyone was fawning and flattering him, almost wanting to give their hearts to him. Now that Mr. Huo is in trouble, you're all running away so fast."

"A bunch of villains who forget their principles when they see profit!"

Many people whose eyes swept over them lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to face him for a moment.

"Let's talk business, Xuzhou, you don't need to play the emotional card." Cheng Min's eyes were filled with anger, and the look he gave Xuzhou was full of gloom. "If you disagree, it's your business. You can't have the final say in the Huo family."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the other shareholders behind Xu Zhou: "Are you all going to follow Xu Zhou down the same path and continue to oppose him?"

"We're all waiting for Mr. Huo to come back!" Xu Zhou said loudly, "Everyone can see Mr. Huo's contributions to the Huo family over the years. I can't do such a mean thing as to cross the river and then destroy the bridge."

"Huo's, Huo's, this company's surname is Huo!" Cheng Min couldn't stand it any longer and smashed the teacup. "Huo's business is doing well, but does that mean all the money goes into my pocket? Everyone gets a share, and Huo Yan holds the shares, so he gets the biggest benefit! Isn't this all for the good of Huo's company?"

"You all have wives and children, and you have families to support." He curled his lips coldly and looked at those people: "Is there really someone in this world who can't get along with money?"

"I've already said we won't be shaken by such a small profit..."

Xu Zhou waved his hand confidently and turned to look at his old friends, hoping to get their support.

However, many of his allies lowered their heads and avoided his gaze, with expressions of shame and avoidance on their faces.

Xu Zhou was stunned, his eyes wide in disbelief, and he roared, "You? You are also driven by profit and are willing to become ungrateful villains?"

His attitude was too aggressive, which made him seem more justified.

A middle-aged man coughed and said, "Old Xu, everyone needs to eat and support their families."

He glanced at the people around him and said with a smile, "The world is bustling with people because of profit. We are all ordinary people. This is the best choice for the Huo family."

"That's right." Someone spoke up, and others followed suit: "The employees all have families to support. You can't just take a small favor and let everyone go hungry while waiting for President Huo to come back."

There were echoes from all directions.

Xu Zhou and the remaining few people were suddenly isolated and helpless.

"You guys, you guys disappoint me so much!" Xu Zhou trembled his fingers, as if he was meeting these friends he had worked with for over a decade for the first time. "You guys are simply, simply... From now on, we are not friends!"

friend?

In the face of interests, how much are friends worth?

By now, Cheng Min was almost victorious and stood up calmly.

He wore a victorious smile, his eyes full of pity: "Xu Zhou, I really don't know why you are so stubborn. Are you still waiting for Huo Yan to help you?"

"Stop dreaming! Huo Yan is already disabled. Not only his legs are disabled, but his spirit is also disabled! He can't stand up anymore!"

Cheng Min laughed heartily, full of pride: "Huo Yan's rule is a thing of the past. I will lead the Huo family into a new future!"

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Just then, applause came from the door.

When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and opened their eyes wide as if they had seen a ghost, staring at the person who came in disbelief.

Huo Yan was wearing a silver-gray suit. The close-fitting cut showed off his perfect figure. He looked handsome and noble. Standing at the door of the conference room, he easily caught everyone's attention.

"Well said, why don't you continue?"

Cheng Min couldn't believe it. He kept looking at his legs, which could stand without any help. "You, your legs are healed? Impossible! Aren't you lame?"

He turned his head suddenly and grabbed Zhao Yiping's collar tightly, his face ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone: "Isn't he lame?!"

"I, I don't know either..." Zhao Yiping's face was pale and sweat was pouring down: "Mr. Cheng, I, I don't know..."

At this moment, there were only two words left in the minds of many shareholders who stood on Cheng Min's side:

It’s over.

Completely finished.

This is Huo Yan. At the age of nineteen, he single-handedly supported the precarious Huo family and made waves in the business world, establishing an unshakable position in the Huo empire!
