Lin Beichen turned around and leaned against the wall, appearing calm and composed, as if everything were under his control. He curled his lips into a smile and slowly began to speak: "I have a way to solve this. All you need to do now is maintain your current identity, and don’t worry about anything else. However, from now on, all business operations must be reported to me first, and I will provide you with advice. You can only proceed with what I agree to."

"I am the best solution, do you understand?" Lin Beichen’s tone was full of confidence, "If you’re willing, I’ll help you. But if you’re not, then there’s nothing I can do."

He had absolute confidence in himself, even though the current situation of Huo Group looked like a chaotic chess game, he was still confident that he could turn it around.

The only thing needed was to reach an agreement with Huo Minghao.

After all, if Huo Minghao didn’t cooperate halfway through, all his efforts in Huo Group would be in vain.

Huo Minghao looked at Lin Beichen, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart. He knew this was Huo Group’s last chance to turn back from the brink. Therefore, as soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, he agreed without hesitation. He raised his hand, swearing with firm determination: "Don’t worry, I will definitely not make any decisions privately, from now on everything will be according to you."

Later that afternoon, Liu Wei and Wang Zhangmin came to the hospital to visit Huo Minghao.

Huo Minghao, seeing them, wasn’t surprised. He had long expected that these two were coming for Huo Group.

"How’re you doing, Huo? You don’t seem too upbeat. Is something in the company troubling you?" Liu Wei was the first to speak, his tone somewhat insincerely concerned, as if he was caring about Huo Minghao’s emotions, when in fact he was mocking him.

Huo Minghao felt aggrieved inside, but he didn’t want to openly fall out, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Thanks for your concern, Mr. Liu. Just say what you want."

"Alright then, seems like you’re not in the mood for small talk, so we’ll get straight to the point." Wang Zhangmin shrugged, turning to glance at Liu Wei next to him, their synchronized performance made Huo Minghao feel very disgusted.

"The two of us discussed, we’re friends after all, can’t just watch Huo Group fall apart with our eyes wide open." Liu Wei started, "So we’re willing to finance Huo Group again, but..."

"But of course we have conditions too," Wang Zhangmin resumed, "As long as you split the remaining market shares between Liu Group and Wang Group, we’re definitely willing to help Huo Group through this difficult time!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Minghao couldn’t hold back anymore, his eyes reddening as he began to curse: "Get lost, you sons of bitches! Every word you say is so high-sounding, but in essence, you just want to profit from me!"

"Talking about financing, but I give the market to you guys, what’s the use of financing then? Playing house in the company?" Huo Minghao continued furiously, "You both get out of here, Huo Group doesn’t need rats like you to help, stabbing in the back!"

Liu Wei and Wang Zhangmin’s faces immediately turned ugly.

"Huo Minghao, you’re something, we came in good faith to help you, yet you treat our good intentions as dirt!" Liu Wei said through clenched teeth.

"Now that you’re saying nasty things, fine, you’re insulting us like this, we don’t need to be nice to you anymore!" Wang Zhangmin echoed, "I’m telling you, from this moment on, even if you regret it, there’s no way we’ll help you again!"

"You’ll pay for these words!" Liu Wei said viciously, "Huo Group will definitely go bankrupt within three days, and you’ll have nowhere to hide! You’ve ruined Huo, how will you clean up the mess?"

With that, Liu Wei and Wang Zhangmin spat viciously on the ground, turned with disdain, and left. After their triumphant departure, only Huo Minghao was left standing there, anxious.

What they said earlier didn’t sound like a joke. Huo Minghao knew well that the company was already heavily damaged; a slight mistake would lead to utter destruction. He couldn’t avoid seriously considering that if the company went bankrupt under his leadership, he’d struggle to find peace for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Huo Minghao picked up his phone and dialed Lin Beichen’s number.

Once the call connected, he paused for a moment, then anxiously said: "Lin Beichen, they came again just now, threatening to bankrupt the group within three days."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Beichen sounded very calm, his voice steady and strong: "Don’t worry yet, at this stage, it’s not something we can arrange in advance, we can only play by ear."

Lin Beichen’s calmness made Huo Minghao slightly reassured, but he was still very anxious: "But to play by ear, I don’t know what they’ll do next."

Lin Beichen understood Huo Minghao’s anxiety, he comforted him: "The best way now is to adapt as we go. We need to see what conditions they propose, or how they’ll pressure Huo Group, and then we can respond accordingly."

Huo Minghao nodded and said: "Alright, then I’ll send someone to check what their next move might be, so we can deploy ahead." As he spoke, he called upon his subordinates to investigate.

Lin Beichen paused for a moment, as if recalling something important, he continued to remind Huo Minghao: "Remember, the prerequisite for all this is to protect the company’s remaining market share, as it’s our bargaining chip."
