Chapter 338 The President of the Huo Group isn't that stingy, is he?

Upon seeing the message, the head of the bodyguards immediately informed Old Master Li: "Master, the bodyguards at the door said that President Huo and Miss Jiang have left."

"What?"

"Is it because of the glass of wine that was spilled on him earlier?"

"I didn't mean it. The president of the Huo Group shouldn't be so petty."

"Should we stop them?" the bodyguard captain asked.

“No need.” Old Master Li’s expression was serious, his brows furrowed. “It’s normal for them to be dissatisfied and want to leave because we were impolite.”

Just then.

Li Zhishen received a message from Jiang Ruan on his phone.

Daughter: [Mr. Li, Huo Zhizhou and I are leaving now.]

And Huo Zhizhou's message: "The stage is set up for you; the rest is up to you. I'll be happy to assist you."

Li Zhishen was filled with mixed emotions.

He was initially resentful that this kid had taken Ruan Ruan away, but now he couldn't vent his anger. In order to get Ruan Ruan the shares, he didn't hesitate to let him use him, which showed that he truly cared for Ruan Ruan.

Li Zhishen: [The Li family is not easy to deal with.]

Out of goodwill, he still gave the reminder.

Some people might be afraid of offending Huo Zhizhou and dare not act rashly, but Li Chengxuan's faction will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and who knows what outrageous and excessive things they might do.

Li Chengxuan would do anything for shares in the Li Group.

Huo Zhizhou's words were casual: "[Is Huo Sinian difficult to deal with?]"

Li Zhishen paused.

No, not at all.

"Go ahead and do it, don't worry about anything." Huo Zhizhou continued to send messages. "I'll handle the rest."

“Mr. Li, Chairman Li.” Assistant Jiang’s voice suddenly rang out. He stood next to them in a suit, looking both gentlemanly and capable. “The boss and Ms. Jiang have some matters to attend to back home, so they asked me to say goodbye to you both.”

Li Zhishen: "Okay."

Assistant Jiang smiled slightly and left with a brisk pace.

As they watched his retreating figure grow smaller and smaller, everyone's hearts sank for no apparent reason.

Offending Huo Zhizhou might not have mattered under normal circumstances, since Li Zhishen could always protect them. But now they've offended him because of Jiang Ruan's inheritance of the shares, so things might be...

“What a temper.” Li Chengxuan suddenly spoke, his tone slightly gentle. “How can you say that Big Brother and Zhishen are his elders? He left without even saying goodbye. Does he really think he’s something special just because he’s the president of the Huo Group?”

“That makes sense,” others agreed.

"Big brother, will Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruanzhen get together?" Li Chengxuan suddenly looked at Old Master Li.

Old Master Li raised his eyes but did not speak.

Li Chengxuan glanced around and said, "He has such a temper before even getting married. If we really get married and he transfers the shares to Jiang Ruan, will he still respect the Li family?"

These words were spoken.

Others realized it later.

"Yes, if the shares are really transferred, won't he just swallow up the Li Group?"

"Given Huo Zhizhou's methods and temperament, it's not impossible."

"A marriage alliance with the Huo family is certainly important, but Huo Zhizhou's attitude is so arrogant, maybe we should just forget about it."

Under Li Chengxuan's guidance, his faction escalated the matter to a new level, causing those who were neutral to waver and become uncertain, and all turned their attention to Li Zhishen.

"Zhishen, what do you think?"

"Are you still insisting on transferring the shares to Jiang Ruan?"

"After saying so much, why doesn't anyone think about what happened before he left?" Li Zhishen said slowly, starting to cooperate with Huo Zhizhou's act, his face becoming more serious than before.

Everyone: "???"

Old Master Li: "?"

Most people looked completely bewildered.

I had absolutely no idea how things had gotten so serious.

"It's just a glass of wine spilled on him, isn't it? It's not a big deal."

"What did you say before you spilled the wine?" Li Zhishen's gaze fell on them.

The group exchanged glances.

They exchanged pleasantries and compliments.

Ask him if the divorce is true.

After having a few more drinks, he got excited and asked him what he liked about Jiang Ruan.

“Those were just ordinary questions and casual conversations at the dinner table.” After Li Zhishen’s words, they gradually remembered, “Isn’t that how we used to talk at dinner parties?”

Most people outwardly cultivate a persona of being a loving husband and family man.

In reality, that's just a persona; once the novelty wears off, it's all gone.

The president of the Huo Group can't possibly be playing the role of someone who's truly emotional.

"He wouldn't really..."

“Really what?” Li Zhishen asked.

"Zhishen, tell us the truth." Someone started to panic and asked, "Is Huo Zhizhou's relationship with Jiang Ruan just a combination of ordinary feelings and business interests, or does he really care about her?"

Li Zhishen countered with, "What do you think?"

The group exchanged glances.

Could it be true love?

But would the Huo family allow him to do this?

"It was made very clear from the beginning that tonight's family dinner was to welcome Ruan Ruan back and introduce her to everyone." Li Zhishen brought the topic back, his words indifferent. "But from the very beginning, you focused your attention on Huo Zhizhou, and your words even showed some disdain for Ruan Ruan. If someone you care about was treated like this, could you still finish this meal in peace?"

Everyone: "..."

How could that be?

It's already a courtesy that they didn't turn hostile on the spot.

"Huo Zhizhou hasn't directly turned against you because of Ruan Ruan's sake, and he doesn't want to embarrass her at the welcome banquet." Li Zhishen's words were harsh. "As for taking over the Li family? I'm going to let go and completely ignore it. Even without shares, if Huo Zhizhou wants to take over the Li family, who among you can stop him?"

These words were spoken.

Everyone fell silent.

They all realized that they had been led astray by Li Chengxuan without realizing it.

Given Huo Zhizhou's abilities, if Li Zhishen and his groomed successor were to truly abandon their work and give up, they would be no match for Huo Zhizhou at all. Not only would the Li Group fall into his hands, but they would probably be left with nothing due to his targeting.

"This was our fault. We'll invite him to dinner sometime."

"We rarely see him, which is why we overlooked Jiang Ruan."

"On the other hand, Huo Zhizhou might not really care about the Li family. If Jiang Ruan really wants it, he can easily create a new one for her."

"Is he angry because of what happened today?"

"If he really doesn't let Jiang Ruan inherit the shares, does he mean he's handing the future of the Li family over to Cheng Xuan's child?"

"If his child can do it, so can mine."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxuan, who had been rendered speechless by the rebuttal, suddenly turned pale!

What do these people mean?!

"Come on, if these people are going to inherit, it's better to give them to the successors that Li Zhishen is grooming."

“Zhishen, we were inconsiderate in what we did today. Tell Jiang Ruan not to hold it against us old folks.”

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and eventually they all started to consider their own interests.

Given the current situation of the Li family, if they want to maintain their current prosperity for a long time to come, the most effective way is for Jiang Ruan to inherit the shares and for Huo Zhizhou to help manage them.
