Chapter 70

Vice Mayor Yuan had just risen to his feet when he seemed to recall something.

"Furthermore, take that son of yours and apologize to the company's boss.

Considering we've been colleagues for so many years, don't blame me for not warning you; if Secretary Wang hears anything else, no one will be able to protect you."

(PS: For this new book, I beg for flowers, tips, and review votes; your support is the author's motivation!)

Honestly, Deputy Director Guo had no idea how he had managed to leave Deputy Mayor Yuan's office.

He walked out into the corridor of the office building and approached a window.

At this moment, two rows of teardrops hung on his cheeks.

To think of all the effort he had expended to reach his current position, just as he was about to step up to a new level.

And now, everything had turned into bubbles.

The most ridiculous part was that the person who had ruined him was actually his own son.

They say that if a child is not taught properly, it is the father's fault.

He now truly felt this in his bones, regretting even more that he had raised his son to be so audacious and reckless.

Great! Messing with the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Tax Bureau, and the Fire Department like this.

To be honest, Deputy Director Guo himself never felt capable of commanding so many departments.

Yet his son had done it, and against an enterprise that was a key focus of the municipal government no less.

If Guo Hong were here right now, Deputy Director Guo would fiercely interrogate him:

"How dare you? Who gave you the courage? Do you really think I'm the top official in Modu!"

"Sigh, it's too late to say anything now!" Deputy Director Guo murmured.

Then, a surge of fury filled his heart.

Immediately, he took out his phone and called Guo Hong.

But Guo Hong, who was having the time of his life at a bar, didn't hear it at all.

The more Deputy Director Guo thought about it, the angrier he became:

"You little bastard, refusing to answer your old man's call, are you!"

Next, he called one of the second-generation rich kids who was good friends with Guo Hong.

Immediately, the noisy sounds of the bar came through the receiver.

Instantly, Deputy Director Guo's blood pressure shot to its peak.

After questioning that second-generation kid, he got into his car and immediately drove to the bar where his son was.

Inside the bar's private room.

"Hey, Young Master Guo, your dad just called me asking where you are!"

One of the second-generation rich kids said.

"Ignore that old geezer; let's keep drinking!"

Guo Hong didn't care at all.

However, not long after.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," the door to the bar's private room was kicked open.

This startled everyone inside the room.

Originally, someone was preparing to teach the intruder a lesson, but upon taking a closer look, someone recognized the newcomer as Guo Hong's father.

"Old man, what are you doing he... re!"

Seeing it was his dad, Guo Hong was extremely surprised.

"What am I doing here? Heh heh, if I hadn't come, how would I know how my dear son is digging my grave!"

As he spoke, Deputy Director Guo directly pulled off his belt.

He lashed out at his son with a fast and vicious whip.

With a sharp "crack," the belt landed heavily on Guo Hong's body.

The latter let out a shriek of "Ah!"

But at this moment, Deputy Director Guo was so blinded by rage that he felt not a shred of pity; he swung the belt fast and ruthlessly,

causing Guo Hong to scream continuously.

The second-generation rich kids and young ladies watching from the side didn't dare say a word, merely watching Young Master Guo being disciplined by his own father.

Perhaps he had grown tired from beating.

Deputy Director Guo collapsed directly onto the sofa in the bar's private room.

Only then did Guo Hong lift his head, his face covered in injuries, and looking at his father, he demanded:

"Why did you hit me!"

"Heh heh!" Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Guo laughed; he looked at the alcohol on the coffee table, downed a bottle in one go, and only then said:

"My dear son, you've really brought honor to your old father!"

As he spoke, he directly took the wine bottle and "bang" smashed it against his own forehead, causing blood to flow immediately.

This scene terrified Guo Hong, filling his face with horror.

"Dad, what are you doing!" Although injured, Guo Hong still did not want to see his father like this.

As he spoke, he moved to get up and stop his father's bleeding.

But Deputy Director Guo blocked his hand with a single swipe, and instead asked:

"Did you use my connections today to contact the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Tax Bureau, and other departments to cause trouble for a company in Songjiang District!"

Hearing this, Guo Hong's heart skipped a beat; he never expected that this matter had reached his father's ears.

Seeing him remain silent, how could Deputy Director Guo not understand.

"Then when you moved against that company, did you not investigate them at all!"

"That's just a company founded by some hillbilly from the mountains!" Guo Hong said.

However, the moment his words left his mouth, a loud "slap" rang out.

Guo Hong's face immediately swelled up from the slap.

"Hick, I think you're the real hick! You didn't know that company is a key enterprise under strict supervision by the Magic Capital government, nor did you know it's a cooperative unit of the military. You dared to mess with them knowing nothing!"

Deputy Director Guo truly regretted not having nailed that son of his to the wall back then.

Even if you wanted to start a company, you should have thought it through more carefully instead of acting so brainlessly.

He never expected that such an idiotic person would actually be his own son, Deputy Director Guo's.

Upon hearing this, Guo Hong finally understood; the reason his father had acted that way earlier was directly related to what he had done today.

And after learning the background of Fengyi Technology, his face instantly turned pale.

"Now you know fear, but unfortunately, it's too late!" Deputy Director Guo said.

"Too late? What do you mean too late!" Guo Hong hurriedly exclaimed.

Deputy Director Guo let out a sigh:

"Because of this matter, my chance for promotion is gone, and I will no longer be working at the Foreign Commerce Committee.

Whether I can even stay safely in the Party History Office until retirement is now uncertain!"

Hearing his father speak like this, Guo Hong was completely stunned, and he said in terror:

"Th... this is all because of me!"

"Yes, my good son, your impulsiveness this time has ruined half of your old father's life. Hehe!"

Deputy Director Guo laughed.

At these words, Guo Hong was utterly dumbfounded.

The next morning at 10 o'clock, Lin Yi stood in the president's office on the third floor of Fengyi Technology, looking out the window through the glass.

There, Guo Hong was kneeling right in front of the entrance to Fengyi Technology.

His face was covered in fresh wounds; his former arrogance was gone, replaced only by endless regret.

"Lin Zong, that Mr. Guo has been waiting outside the company gate this whole time!"

CEO Yang Chen reported.

"Ignore them!" Lin Yi said with a cold smile.

They say that for every pitiable person, there must be something detestable about them.

Looking at it now, the father and son Guo seem so pitiable, but back then, just how rampant Guo Hong had been.
