Upon hearing these words, Liu Wei was not surprised. He had long become accustomed to such things, and he knew it would be impossible to keep Lin Beichen in the dark. Rather than trying to conceal it, he hadn’t even intended to hide it. He wished for Lin Beichen to find out, to observe his reaction and assess whether there would be any obstacles ahead.

"Of course, what lion would be satisfied with just eating one ant? Wouldn’t that be a waste of his talents?" Liu Wei’s words were profound and elusive.

Before coming, Lin Beichen had already guessed that Liu Wei had ulterior motives, but he never imagined that this lion’s appetite would be so enormous, seemingly impossible to tame. A sizable Wang Group seemed as trivial as ants climbing a tree in his eyes. So, what was his next move? What did he plan to do?

Lin Beichen speculated silently, fearing it might be the Huo Group! After all, in the whole industry, at this point, the only entity qualified to be his rival was the Huo Group. Now, having swallowed the Wang Group, the Liu Group emerged as the largest family-owned conglomerate in the city, capable of challenging the Huo Group.

If this were indeed the case, Lin Beichen needed to quickly prepare for the next step. Although he had anticipated this beforehand, and his visit here today was to confirm this fact, he couldn’t help but sigh when he finally got the answer: This ally, truly difficult to control!

In just a day, Lin Beichen completed the transfer of Huo Minghao’s shares. As a result, Huo Sizun, Huo Ziyan, and Huo Minghao no longer had worries. Next, what they needed to consider was how to gain more power. After all, the entire Huo Group shareholders meeting wasn’t limited to just the three of them; there were numerous trivial matters, causing headaches.

This situation clearly wasn’t sustainable. Huo Minghao looked at Huo Sizun, saying helplessly, "Uncle, it’s been a week, why are you still dwelling on that matter? Lin Beichen has already helped me obtain the shares; you should be happy!"

He tried to persuade Huo Sizun to let go of past grievances. Judging from the shares, Lin Beichen didn’t go against the agreement and had done his best. However, in Huo Sizun’s eyes, Huo Minghao now seemed entirely under Lin Beichen’s influence, doing whatever he said.

Seeing his juniors all like this, Huo Sizun had nothing to say. He simply snorted and said, "That’s your matter; I’ll always remember that incident. I hold no gratitude. You should be cautious and not always lean towards outsiders!"

After speaking, Huo Sizun angrily left the dining table, leaving Huo Ziyan and Huo Minghao staring at each other helplessly. No one understands their uncle’s temperament better than they do. At this moment, saying anything was pointless, and they were quite aware of that fact.

Just then, Huo Sizun suddenly returned and resolutely stated, "I said it before, regardless of what you think, I absolutely won’t help Lin Beichen again!" He didn’t allow anyone to speak, finished talking to himself, and left again, leaving the two staring at each other, ultimately shrugging in silence.

Suddenly, Huo Minghao’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID— it was Lin Beichen. Instantly, the gloom on his face vanished, and the displeasure his uncle had caused dissipated completely. He quickly set down his chopsticks and answered the call in a hurry, "Hello?"

On the other end, the voice was deep and powerful; only Lin Beichen’s calm voice asked, "Is the share transfer arrangement sorted out? How are the aftermath matters on your side?" Hearing Lin Beichen’s concern warmed Huo Minghao’s heart, who nodded repeatedly and said, "No issues, everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate it, honestly, I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!"

His excitement was evident. Lin Beichen responded softly and reminded him about a few shareholder meeting matters before hanging up. In three days, the share transfer meeting would formally commence, a necessary step.

To secure the equity, Huo Sizun specifically invited media journalists and held a press conference. Everything was prepared meticulously; he aimed for nothing to go wrong. However, despite such preparations, Huo Sizun still felt uneasy. There seemed to be a problem somewhere, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what, leaving him faintly uneasy.

Are the shareholders too calm? Their expressions seemed as though they had anticipated this outcome all along. Has Lin Beichen arranged everything to this extent? Huo Sizun didn’t want to think further; if that were true, it would be alright. He just feared there might still be some unexpected errors.

The share transfer meeting began, and after an opening, Huo Minghao stood up from among the shareholders. All cameras focused on him, waiting for his speech. At this moment, the share transfer meeting meant that starting today, the composition of the Huo Group shareholders would undergo new changes. In the industry, this was no small matter, attracting widespread attention.

For a large enterprise, what truly plays a decisive role is not the CEO or acting director but the entire shareholders’ meeting. Every shareholder is extremely important, and their decisions directly influence the company’s future development. Now, with the Huo Group, having been stable for some time, holding a sudden share transfer meeting undoubtedly stirs a wave following Wang Group’s collapse. One wave yet to calm, and another arises!

Huo Minghao deliberately raised his voice and announced, "Everyone, please quiet down; the reporters’ queries will soon be answered in the following speech. Listen to me." His voice was firm and strong, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.

The media fell silent immediately; some adjusting their cameras, others already picking up pens, ready to jot down key points. To these journalists, the fiercer these groups clashed, the better. The bigger the storm, the more they profit. Such a golden opportunity was naturally not to be missed!

Huo Minghao continued, "Today’s share transfer meeting has three critical points. Firstly, my uncle Huo Sizun. He now holds more than twenty percent of the Huo Group’s shares, becoming a powerful figure in the shareholders meeting of Huo Group." Upon these words, many media outlets shifted their cameras and continuously snapped photos of Huo Sizun. The press conference was broadcasted live, rapidly spreading this crucial information. Huo Minghao lightly coughed a few times, and the conference hall fell back into silence.

"Next, the second point I want to mention is my peer, Huo Ziyan. She holds over twenty percent of the Huo Group’s shares and will officially join the Huo Group shareholders meeting." As soon as he finished speaking, the hall erupted.

"What? A new shareholder, holding over twenty percent of shares? What on earth is going on?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Mr. Huo Minghao, can you explain the reasoning behind this?" Media reporters bombarded him with questions, their tone filled with urgency and curiosity.

It’s no wonder the media was so agitated; after all, their combined shareholding exceeded sixty percent. Among so many members of the shareholders meeting, the three of them held such a substantial proportion—it was practically a colossal joke!

If this were reported, the entire business world might explode! Yesterday, Wang Group suddenly collapsed, and today, Huo Group exhibited such autocratic behavior. What exactly was happening in the business realm? Could all this be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes?

Listening to the whispers around him, Lin Beichen gently shook his head; everything was under his control, including everything about to happen next.
