Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

After coming out of the bank, dusk gradually deepened. Mr. Huo sat in the back seat of the car, and the neon lights outside the car window cast mottled light and shadows on the glass.

He closed his eyes, as if thinking about something. The car was very quiet, with only the low roar of the engine.

Tang Xiaqing glanced at him and knew that he had been under extreme pressure these days, so she didn't say much.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

Mr. Huo frowned slightly and picked up his phone. The words "Zhao Xikai of Xicheng Group" appeared on the screen. His eyes turned cold, and his finger paused on the screen for a second before slowly pressing the answer button.

"Mr. Huo, it's me, Zhao Xikai." Mr. Zhao's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of caution in his tone, "I'm sorry to bother you..."

Mr. Huo did not respond immediately, but just replied coldly, "You say it," with a calm majesty in his voice.

Mr. Zhao clearly felt the pressure, and his voice became more humble: "Mr. Huo, regarding the acquisition of Huo Ting Real Estate, I want to explain to you. I was wrong about that matter. I was confused for a moment and offended you... and your wife..."

Mr. Huo's lips curled up slightly in a cold smile, but his eyes remained icy. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, "Mr. Zhao, in business, everyone relies on their own abilities. You don't need to explain to me what you did."

Mr. Zhao on the other end of the phone was obviously panicked, his voice trembling a little: "Mr. Huo, please be magnanimous and don't bother with me. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Mr. Huo looked out the window. The city lights were brilliant in the night, but they could not shine into his deep eyes.

His voice remained calm, yet carried a cold determination: "Boss Zhao, this is business as usual. You will bear the consequences of your actions. As for the rest, there's no need to elaborate."

Mr. Zhao's voice was almost pleading: "Mr. Huo, for the sake of our long-term friendship, can you please..."

Mr. Huo interrupted him, his tone suddenly stern: "Friendship? Mr. Zhao, you are talking to me about friendship?" His voice was as cold as ice. "The things you did behind my back a few days ago almost pushed the Huo Group to the brink of destruction. Why didn't you think about our friendship?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Mr. Zhao's voice was almost inaudible: "Mr. Huo, I really know I was wrong... Can you give me a chance?"

Mr. Huo's voice remained calm, but with an invisible pressure: "Mr. Zhao, you know what you did."

After saying that, Mr. Huo hung up the phone.

He tossed his phone aside, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his seat. Silence returned to the car, with only the low roar of the engine echoing in his ears.

Tang Xiaqing sat aside, observing Mr. Huo's expression.

Seeing him look so serious and even a little fierce, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "Does your tone just now mean that you are going to take action against the West City Group?"

President Huo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, and said coldly: "The West City Group's recent actions have been too extreme. If I don't teach them a lesson, they will really think I'm easy to bully."

Tang Xiaqing was startled and asked tentatively, "So what are you going to do? Will you...directly attack their core business?"

Mr. Huo sneered, his tone stern. "Since they dare to provoke us, they must bear the consequences. I will let them know the price of offending us. Hasn't the West City Group always relied on real estate projects to maintain its image? I've already started with their real estate sector. Let's see how long they can hold out."

Tang Xiaqing nodded, feeling both nervous and expectant.

She knew that President Huo always kept his word, and this time the West City Group might really face a storm.

President Huo's tone softened. "Little Princess, thank you so much for this time... and your friends. I'm going back to Yunzhou with you now. After tomorrow, I'll be going to Germany and Singapore. I haven't finished dealing with follow-up matters yet. This President Zhao has caused me a lot of trouble, and it's not something that can be resolved all at once."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again, then stretched out his arms and put Tang Xiaqing around his shoulders.

Mr. Huo's expression remained stern, as if the phone call had never happened. He knew that in this fiercely competitive market, being soft-hearted would only lead to an irretrievable situation.

And he has never been a soft-hearted person.
