Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 385. Sigh, shameless, shirk

Did the heavens go blind?

Everyone who witnessed Dai Weiguo’s experiences over the years exclaimed in unison.

What about karma, where good is rewarded with good and evil with evil?

Why does this bastard who’s rotten to the core keep getting chance after chance?

With a widowed mother and being dirt poor, he still managed to get promoted and marry Shuzhen, the beauty of the village.

Once at the company, he rose through the ranks and even caught the eye of the Bai family’s Bai Jing, despite being married.

When the Bai family fell, his misdeeds were exposed, and he was sentenced.

Like a salted fish, he shouldn’t have had another chance to turn over.

Yet, in such desperate times, he managed to find another bright spot!

Thanks to Lianshan treating Lian En as his own over the years, to the extent that he doted on him more than Chenchen and Lian Xi.

Lian En knew his origins but still considered himself a child of the Lian family, acknowledging only Lianshan as his father.

If not, when Dai suddenly threw over six million and flaunted assets worth tens of millions or billions...

The outcome of this drama would remain uncertain!

After all, wealth moves people’s hearts, and what’s before them isn’t just a few hundred or thousand, but dizzying amounts of tens of millions or billions!

And Dai’s act of remorse, guilt, and last wishes — if Lian En followed his lead, would anyone call him ungrateful and heartless?

Filial piety comes first; even if the father is disgraceful, blood is thicker than water, right?

Moreover, when a person dies, all grudges vanish. If he inherits and uses it for charity or honors his mother and stepfather, the lad wouldn’t be scorned. He might even become a moral exemplar and gain both fame and fortune!

"Shares? Chairman?" Shuzhen squinted, tapping the table in thought, "With such a scandal, Dai’s company’s stock price should take a significant hit, right? Due to personal image and character issues causing drastic falls and huge losses, his shareholders likely have strong opinions against him!"

"Yes, that’s certain." Not just that; they will find ways to make it so. Liu Shouren lowered his eyes, speaking with certainty.

To bully my sister like that, Dai is courting death!

Isn’t it just because he has some money?

Ha, wait until your company crumbles, what will you have to be arrogant about then?!

Ruthlessly rich and overprotective of his sister, Liu Shouren and Liu Shouyi exchanged a glance and made the decision together.

It’s a pity that Hong Kong hasn’t returned yet, and their father-in-law and Uncle Wei’s reach can’t extend across the strait.

But no worries, they can ensure Dai’s ventures in the mainland fail, and with his scandal causing stock prices to plummet, multiple penalties combined would drag him back to Hong Kong for board meetings explanations.

Amidst his distractions, they can firmly peg him as a self-directed drama for sympathy.

With all this, even if that scum has the thickest skin imaginable, he wouldn’t dare make a fuss about recognizing a son!

Yet reality proved once again they underestimated his cunning and thick skin.

Flying back to Hong Kong to hold board meetings and reassure directors he did. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But to say he was overwhelmed — not quite.

Over a few years achieving this position relied on timing, luck, and support from influential people. Dai’s foresight and ability played a significant part; despite dissatisfaction, with past high returns, the directors wouldn’t withdraw investments hastily.

Everything before was entirely shifted onto Luna.

She, seeing the boss consumed with grief, meticulously orchestrated that media onslaught.

He knew it wasn’t right but couldn’t suppress his yearning and nodded.

Watching him sob on TV, claiming a father’s love mistaken, truly made Lian En sick to his stomach!

"When doing things, he never considers consequences, just his desires. When things go wrong, he blames others and cries innocence. This man is consistently cold and selfish.

But to so easily shift all blame onto Luna, does he think we’re all fools, like the TV audience?

None will think it through, all following his flawed logic?!" Shuzhen sneered, turning off the TV, unwilling to see Dai’s shameless face.

How could her farsighted father have made such a poor choice, picking a husband who embodies all the worst traits?

It really screwed over his daughter and grandson!

"Back then, wasn’t it about choosing the best among what was available? His belief that looks reflect inner character caused him to be more tolerant of good looks. The Dai family, with their orphaned status, was like a bitter gourd growing on a bitter vine. With our family’s care, how big a wave could he possibly cause in your palm?

Who knew times would change, and he would grow into a traitor.

Chasing wealth, he threw away his conscience!" Talking about his face-oriented father, who picked in-laws based on appearance, Liu Shouren was utterly exasperated.

No wonder, for he too suffered under such circumstances!

Did everyone forget about Wu Xia, who was greedy, lazy, and downright malicious?

But through bitterness comes sweetness — if not for those troublesome people, they wouldn’t have their happy marriages today!

The siblings, now at ease, didn’t expect Dai Weiguo to raise the flag of Hong Kong investor right after his public apology.

He proposed a thirty-million investment to build a twenty-one-story shopping center in the city center.

His olive branch reached the city, and Director Bi, desperate to meet the investment quota for the year, eagerly grasped it.

Though Dai’s character caused endless head-shaking and sighs.

But nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.

Rising from a struggling position to a top performer, with just one nod away from success.

Let alone persuading Lian En to recognize his father, even kneeling and addressing him as father would be negotiable, right?

Climbing from the farmer’s gate to where he is now wasn’t easy, some compromises must be made!

It just so happens his beautiful daughter was Lian En’s high school classmate, sitting behind him. Letting them young ones talk might just open a breakthrough, right?
