Chapter 1816: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (20)
The Huo family’s residence.
It was only after Huo Heng entered the Huo Corporation that he realized how terrible he had been.
Although he was the Young Master of the Huo family, no one in the company trusted him.
Apart from her father, Huo Yuan, Ye Shuangshuang’s younger brother, Ye Hongming, held the greatest power.
However, Huo Heng used to think that the company would be his in the future just because he was the Young Master. He used to indulge in alcohol and fun, and Huo Yuan had spent a lot of money investing on his behalf. In the end, none of the projects succeeded.
Of course, Ye Shuangshuang and Ye Hongming had added fuel to the fire.
Ye Shuangshuang was smooth and slick. Apart from coaxing Huo Yuan, she had also put in some effort on Huo Heng, her stepson.
Huo Heng was broke and Ye Shuangshuang had given him money in private.
There was no need to mention Ye Hongming. On the surface, he supported Huo Heng. However, he secretly encouraged the latter to take on projects that were not profitable. Then, Huo Heng would naturally fail and Huo Yuan’s impression of him would worsen.
After returning from the Xia family, Huo Heng focused all of his attention on his work and legs.
He needed a wheelchair to move around now. Even if he found Tangtang, she would not like a cripple.
Although he was the Young Master of the Huo family, he was in a precarious situation in the Huo family. If he did not work hard to win Huo Yuan’s trust and good impression again, it would be difficult for him to stay in the Huo family in the future.
Besides, the Huo family had give him and his mother shares, but because of Huo Heng’s ignorance, he had been deceived by Ye Shuangshuang and her brother.
He had to take all of these back. Only when he had enough capital would he be able to return to Harbor City and find the murderer who wanted to kill him!
After Huo Heng returned to work at the Huo Corporation, he started as a small manager of a branch company.
Huo Heng used to only want to take credit for the biggest project. He had not even spared a glance at the branch company. Huo Yuan was surprised and happy that there was a change this time.
No matter how frivolous Huo Heng had been in the past, he was still his son. Huo Yuan still had hope for him.
Huo Heng’s change made Ye Shuangshuang and Ye Hongming feel threatened.
“Talk to the general manager of the branch office. We can’t let the prodigal achieve anything,” Ye Shuangshuang said to Ye Hongming.
Ye Hongming nodded. “Sister, we have 20% of the shares now. As long as the old woman dies, the shares will be given to Huo Yuan. At that time, we just have to coax Huo Yuan and get his shares.”
“If this had been the past, Huo Yuan would definitely not give the wastrel the shares. But now that he has hope for the wastrel, I’m afraid there might be a chance.” A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Ye Shuangshuang’s eyes.
Ye Hongming frowned. “It’s strange. He survived an accident. Why does he look like a different person after waking up?”
“Contact Sun Ningning and ask her to get close to the wastrel.”
Sun Ningning used to be the popular rose on JP’s main stage, but was later poached by another company. When Sun Ningning was on JP’s main stage, she was popular and Huo Heng was one of her biggest fans.
Huo Heng had been infatuated with her for a while. Every time Sun Ningning went on stage, Huo Heng would bring the young men to support her and give her 999 red roses.
However, there were too many people who liked Sun Ningning, and Sun Ningning was good at whetting people’s appet.i.tes. She was indifferent to Huo Heng, neither agreeing nor rejecting him.
Even so, Huo Heng was willing to do it.
Later, Huo Heng found a new girlfriend, but he did not cut off contact with Sun Ningning.
Sun Ningning was a ray of white moonlight in his heart.
Ye Shuangshuang was well aware of Huo Heng’s persistence and adoration for Sun Ningning. Although she was worried about Huo Heng’s change, as long as Sun Ningning was around, Huo Heng would not be able to achieve anything.
…
Huo Heng was working at the branch office.
When it was time to get off work, he received a WeChat message from several young men.
Every fwe days, he would receive messages from these young men.
Huo Heng ignored all of them.
After a while, he received another WeChat message.
It was from the Sixth Master of JP. “Young Master Huo, we will have the most beautiful voice performing on stage for the first time tonight. If you have time, why don’t you come over to drink and listen to songs?”
Under the line of text was a photo.
The photo was of a beautiful begonia.
Huo Heng looked at the begonia blossoms, his heart thumping.
He pressed the intercom and asked his a.s.sistant, Jian Ming, to come in.
Jian Ming was Huo Heng’s personal a.s.sistant. He had been in the company for several years, but because he did not know how to build relations.h.i.+ps, he had been suppressed.
He was still an insignificant employee.
However, he was quite capable at work. As long as he was given the chance, he would be a good a.s.sistant.
Jian Ming entered the manager’s office and looked at the serious Huo Heng. “Young Master Huo.”
Huo Heng did not look up and simply instructed, “Find out if there’s a girl called Haitang on the JP stage tonight?”
“Alright.”
A few minutes later, Jian Ming returned to the office. “Young Master Huo, there’s a mysterious singer on the JP stage tonight. I heard that her singing is quite good and her stage name is indeed Little Haitang.”
Haitang, Haitang…
The word lingered on the tip of Huo Heng’s tongue.
Tangtang loved begonia flowers the most when she was alive.
Ever since Huo Heng was discharged from the hospital, no matter how many young masters invited him, he never went to entertainment venues again.
But today, after seeing these two words, he wanted to go and see the woman who was singing under the stage name Haitang.
“Help me book a room at the JP stage.”
After Jian Ming left, Huo Heng sent a message to several young men.
…
When the Sixth Master found out that Huo Heng was coming, he reserved the room with the best view of the stage for him.
By the time Huo Heng arrived at the room, the other young men had already arrived.
Almost everyone else had brought their female companions.
They all had different expressions when they saw Huo Heng sitting in the wheelchair.
Young Master Huo, who used to be the best at playing, was now disabled. This was a cruel punishment.
These young men, who had Huo Heng’s friends in the past, were not sincere to him.
Now, Huo Heng could see through them at a glance.
“Young Master Huo, long time no see.”
“Young Master Huo, you’re getting more and more handsome.”
“Young Master Huo, it’s okay if you can’t walk anymore. We’ll be your legs from now on.”
Huo Heng’s handsome face was like that of a comic character, and he forced out a smile that no one could see through. “Tonight, let’s eat and play to our hearts’ content. After tonight, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to have this chance in the future.”
The young men looked at Huo Heng in confusion. “Young Master Huo, what’s wrong?”
“My father asked me to go to the branch company to work. I have no power, no money, and nothing now. I only have tonight’s expenses, and I had to ask for a few months’ salary in advance.”
The young men’s lips twitched.
They had not expected Huo Heng to be in such dire straits.
Who would be willing to be friends with a poor and powerless Young Master Huo?
Recently, they had sent him messages from time to time, inviting him out to play because they wanted him to be a spendthrift and come out to pay for them. After all, it was this fool who had paid for their expenses in the past!
In the eyes of these young men, the Huo Heng in the past was a fool. He would even help those who had betrayed him!
