Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 293 At such an advanced age, still so impatient...

Xu Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment. He hadn't expected Huo Muchen to express his thoughts so bluntly.

He knew Huo Muchen's methods and ruthlessness in the business world, but hearing him talk about plunder and possession so unscrupulously still shocked and unsettled him.

Xu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He attempted to communicate with Huo Muchen in a more rational way:

"Mr. Huo, our cooperation has always been smooth. I hope that this time we can sit down and have a good talk to find a solution to the problem."

Huo Muchen looked at Xu Zhiyuan, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and said calmly:

"The solution? It's for you to accept my decision and then look for the next opportunity to collaborate."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyuan's anger was reignited, but he also understood that arguing with Huo Muchen at this moment would not yield any results.

He could only suppress his dissatisfaction for the time being and prepare to leave Huo Muchen's office.

Before leaving, Xu Zhiyuan gave Huo Muchen a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He knew that dealing with someone like Huo Muchen required extra caution and prudence. This incident, however, gave him a deeper understanding of Huo Muchen's ruthlessness and cruelty in the business world.

"Huh, what's going on? I see that General Manager Xu's face is ashen, he seems to be furious."

As Gu Heng stepped into the office, he caught a glimpse of Xu Zhiyuan's departing figure out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but turn around and look at him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Huo Muchen leaned against his desk, a cunning glint in his deep eyes. He raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful, wicked smile curving his lips.

"I had only just served the appetizers when he got angry. He's so old, yet he's still so short-tempered."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng immediately became interested. He leaned closer to Huo Muchen and asked in a low voice:

"Oh? What exactly happened? Tell me,"

“Yesterday I arranged for Shiyin to have dinner with him. The dinner ended around 9 p.m., and he hasn’t contacted me since this morning. It seems he doesn’t want to acknowledge Shiyin as his daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng frowned, a look of worry on his face:

"That Xu Zhiyuan is truly heartless. And Shiyin, she…"

"Shion really hopes she still has family in this world,"

"Then what are you going to do?"

Gu Heng took a sip of coffee and began to speak.

Huo Muchen smiled slightly, the curve of his lips becoming increasingly playful.

"Since he doesn't know what's good for him, I naturally won't give him any face anymore. This morning, I withdrew the deal that was under negotiation. Without my word, no one will dare to cooperate with him anymore. I want him to understand that some people and some things are not something he can do as he pleases."

"So what are your plans next? But I still have to advise you not to go too far. Your parents will be back soon. They and Xu Zhiyuan are old classmates and good friends."

Gu Heng kindly reminded him:

"We'll talk about it when they get back. By the way, in the next couple of days, gradually withdraw all our cooperation with the Xu family, but don't rush it. I want to play along with them slowly."

Huo Muchen's eyes gleamed with excitement and ruthlessness, like a leopard preparing to hunt, quietly waiting in the shadows for the best opportunity to strike.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, a smile so ruthless and cruel that it sent a chill down Gu Heng's spine.

He knew Huo Muchen's character well; once he made up his mind, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
