Chapter 769: More Like a Joke
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Xiang Jinxi had already paid for the project and Huo Yunting was instrumental in helping the project owner avoid a landmine, they practically awarded the project tender to him for free .
Besides, Xiang Jinxi had invested hundreds of millions into the project, so Thunderbolt Corp would only need to inject just a little more money to see the project to its completion!
News of this turn of events shocked the business circle .
Huo Yunting had crushed Xiang Yuan Corp and defeated Xiang Jinxi without any significant losses . He even won the much-coveted tender nearly free of charge .
His cunning and ingenious tactics were unheard of .
It was fortunate that no one had sided with Xiang Jinxi .
In the end, Thunderbolt Corp bought Xiang Yuan . The port development continued and Thunderbolt soared to new heights . The business empire was now unrivalled in the country .
“Brother Ting, you’re the man!”
Huo Li patted the newspaper on the table and said with a grin, “The media praises you like you’re the king . ”
Huo Yunting ignored him .
He was preoccupied with the problem of getting Lu Zhaoyang to accept him in bed .
“I say, Bro, are you not worried about Xiang Jinxi?” Huo Li asked, confused . “State Security may have issued a wanted notice on him, but they have heard nothing so far . That scoundrel is in the wind, who knows when he’ll strike again! He is like a ticking time bomb . ”
Huo Yunting ran a finger through his hair in affected passivity that belied his murderous intent .
“A time bomb? More like a joke . I do hope he will look for me soon . ”
Xiang Jinxi may have escaped, but he was not too bothered by it .
As Huo Li had said, the man would be back, and he would defeat him once again .
Huo Li did not doubt Huo Yunting’s ability . He stood up and stretched . “Well, that’s the end of it, for now . Brother Ting, I’m taking a few days off, okay?”
He never expected to be rejected .
“No . ”
“… Why?”
“It’s a punishment for your big mouth . ”
Huo Yunting still remembered how he accidentally spilled the beans in front of Lu Zhaoyang . But that was so long ago! Heavens!
After that, Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting resumed their lives peacefully .
Lu Zhaoyang stopped going to work to rest at home, leaving her husband alone in the office to deal with menial tasks .
When he finally came home, his wife continued to treat him coldly .
He tried to please in any way he could think of, be it flattering her of begging for mercy . It was a long road to forgiveness .
In the end, Lu Zhaoyang finally yielded .
Huo Yunting came to realize that a woman with a temper was much more difficult to handle than a formidable enemy .
“Huo Yunting . ”
Lu Zhaoyang opened the door to the study and saw him hanging up his phone . She asked, “Who were you calling?”
“The military . ”
“Oh, what’s the matter?”
“I was asking about Huo Chen,” Huo Yunting replied frankly .
Grandma worried about Huo Chen in the moments before she passed away . He hoped Huo Chen was safe too .
“What did they say?”
Lu Zhaoyang’s attitude shifted when she heard it had to do with Huo Chen . She immediately went to him and watched him expectantly for his reply .
In his mind, Huo Yunting was super annoyed by her sudden show of interest . He abruptly pulled her into a hug and savoured the proximity before slowly replying, “He sent a report back to base three days ago saying that he had eliminated the organization . He is now looking for the last remaining members of the organization that are still on the loose . ”
