Chapter 277: What Will You Offer Me For the Deal?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Chong was momentarily stunned.
He didn’t know if it was because he had just woken up or if his mind was unclear.
When Huo Sicheng allowed him to ask questions, Qin Chong had many questions to ask, but looking at Huo Sicheng’s face, he felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
When Huo Sicheng stopped asking him questions, he, on the contrary, wanted to ask Huo Sicheng questions.
He might be going crazy, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so contradictory.
What scared him most was the simple words of Huo Sicheng, which evoked all his suspicions. This sense of doubt seemed etched in his bones and blood; as long as the blood flowed and he was alive, his heart was full of questions.
“Sicheng, do you know something?” he asked nervously and apprehensively.
Huo Sicheng looked calmly at Qin Chong, “What can I know? Or what should I know?”
Confronted with Huo Sicheng’s words, Qin Chong was suddenly speechless. Just as he was unsure how to respond to Huo Sicheng, Bai Si entered the ward.
“Husband, did you need me for something?” Seeing Bai Si’s arrival, Qin Chong visibly relaxed.
“Xiao Si, I need to talk to you.”
Bai Si came gently to the bedside, looking at Huo Sicheng warmly, “How are you getting along, you and your cousin?”
Seeing Qin Chong about to speak, Huo Sicheng answered Bai Si first, “We haven’t finished talking yet.”
Bai Si was taken aback, looking at Qin Chong, “You haven’t finished talking with Sicheng, why did you urgently call me?”
Qin Chong, preoccupied with finding Bai Si for help, had not thought of an excuse.
He was rendered speechless by Bai Si’s question.
Huo Sicheng saw Qin Chong’s expression and elegantly told Bai Si, “My cousin asked you to instruct the kitchen to prepare a steamed turbot, he wants to eat it. ”
Bai Si looked at Qin Chong’s gaze shifting to Huo Sicheng, seeing Huo Sicheng looking calmly at her.
She was slightly stunned, then responded, “I thought it was something serious, it’s just a small matter.”
After speaking, she looked at Qin Chong, “Husband, do you only want to eat turbot? Any other dishes?”
Qin Chong looked at Bai Si, seeing in her eyes the question of whether Huo Sicheng saying he wanted to eat fish was true.
He wanted Huo Sicheng to leave, but also thought only Huo Sicheng could save his life.
Now he wanted Bai Si to stay, but Huo Sicheng said their conversation wasn’t over, so he was forced to let Bai Si leave.
“Yes, I want to eat turbot, have the kitchen prepare it,” he complied, “By the way, the kung fu tea you brew is great, prepare some tea and come over to brew some for Sicheng later. My waking up today is all thanks to Sicheng.” Hearing Qin Chong’s reply, Bai Si smiled, “It’s a small matter, I’ll go and brew the tea now.”
Once Bai Si left, Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng, “I have nothing to ask you, but you said we haven’t finished talking, do you have any questions for me?”
He wanted to ask but couldn’t, so to avoid any accidents, he chose not to ask.
“I have no questions for you,” Huo Sicheng looked directly at Qin Chong, “I said we haven’t finished talking because you said you had something to discuss with me.’
He paused and then added, “Between you and me, I have spoken about my part, now it’s your turn.”
Qin Chong was dumbfounded before realizing Huo Sicheng was right, it was his turn to speak after Huo Sicheng had spoken.
His original intention was to find Huo Sicheng before his death and ask him to help Qin Jun stabilize his position as chairman of Qin Corporation after his death, in consideration of being cousins.
However, Huo Sicheng mentioned the death anniversary and Mt. Dragon
Cemetery, plus he was also in possession of medicine that could save his life.
Thus, after thinking for a while, he changed his mind. “I do have something to discuss with you, partly to thank you for saving me, and partly I want to talk to you about Ah Jun and the Qin Corporation.”
Huo Sicheng remained silent.
Seeing Huo Sicheng not speaking, Qin Chong knew Huo Sicheng was waiting for him to continue.
“Qin Jun is used to fooling around. After graduation, he’s just been playing around, with no career ambitions. I plan to have him join the board to learn, but now Qin Corporation is completely under the control of Huo Corporation. Cousin, could you perhaps show some leniency?”
Before Huo Sicheng could speak, he hurriedly added, “Our father and son have reconciled with Qingcheng. The previous troubles with Qingcheng were my fault, and now we are one family. Please let Qin Corporation off the hook.”
“You’re overreacting, cousin,” Huo Sicheng looked at Qin Chong, “I haven’t targeted Qin Corporation at every turn. Rather, you and Gu Tianhao targeted Huo Corporation first. You two teamed up to destroy several of Huo Corporation’s collaborations. Now, all of Huo Corporation’s projects are conducted independently. If you think I took business from Qin Corporation, I think you’re misunderstanding me. In business, any company can compete; it’s just that you couldn’t compete with me. Regardless, I only made decisions a CEO should make.”
Qin Chong opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, as Huo Sicheng’s words were rational and justified, and it was he who had first targeted Huo Corporation and lost.
But he and Gu Tianhao targeting Huo Corporation couldn’t be blamed on them; the blame should be on Huo Sicheng for marrying Gu Qingcheng!
Since Gu Qingcheng married Huo Sicheng, he and Gu Tianhao had been using business to force Huo Sicheng to bow to them.
However, Huo Sicheng’s strategic planning led him and Gu Tianhao to a complete defeat.
That’s why he couldn’t be at odds with Huo Sicheng anymore.
“Cousin, it was all my fault before,” he put on an apologetic demeanor, “I was infuriated by Gu Qingcheng at the engagement banquet that night. Only now, facing death, do I realize that business is insignificant, and our kinship is most important. So I’ve apologized to you, can you please show some leniency?”
“That’s not easy to do,” Huo Sicheng said indifferently, “If I do that, Huo Corporation will suffer a great loss, and it is something I will not allow.” “And about the energy business, although you publicly withdrew from the bidding, the Mars family really wants to collaborate with you. All you have to do is give the nod, and I can’t imagine any of your projects incurring losses.”
Huo Sicheng implied, “You seem to know a lot about my corporation’s projects.”
Qin Chong’s face stiffened, then he awkwardly laughed, “How could I possibly know about your Huo Corporation’s projects? I’ve just seen several major projects in Jiang City that it invested in; those are projects worth billions, showing Huo Corporation isn’t short on funds. So if you cancel one project, it will greatly help Qin Corporation. It doesn’t count as a loss.”
“Losses aren’t calculated like that,” Huo Sicheng informed Qin Chong, “However, if you want me to help, it’s not impossible.”
Qin Chong, hearing a chance, quickly asked, “What are your conditions?”
