Chapter 1613: Dog Bites Dog, a Mouthful of Fur

Flying Speed Chinese.

Huo Zhenteng comforted himself this way, and with a heavy heart, he completed all the procedures.

……

Chenxin Snack.

Huo Zhenteng finally appeared here openly and aboveboard; while waiting for the handover, he saw the surprised look in Sheng Zichen's eyes!

He had waited for this moment for three years.

Three years ago, he had brought imprisonment upon himself, but he blamed all his faults on Zichen.

He treated Zichen as an enemy, believing that all his suffering was Sheng Zichen's fault; he had returned to take revenge, and even more so, to restore his former status in the industry.

After waiting for so long, he had finally reached this moment!

Huo Zhenteng gave a gloomy smile, thinking that once Sheng Zichen saw him, he would realize that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

If Sheng Zichen were to become furious and question him, he would say: "So what if you're angry? The matter is already settled, and there is nothing you can change now."

He could even lecture this junior: "Young man, use your brain more next time you encounter trouble; don't fight with me, you'll be the one suffering sooner or later."

He even wanted to thoroughly defeat Sheng Zichen and then buy him over to make him work for him!

Zichen was much more useful than Xiao Huang; if he could agree to be his General Manager, it would be perfect.

The imagination is beautiful, but reality often goes against one's wishes.

The agreed-upon time arrived, and Sheng Zichen and Gu Yuxin appeared on time; Gu Yuxin glanced at him with contempt, then directed the shop staff to take down the plaque on the door!

"Wait a moment, what do you mean by this? Why are you taking down the plaque?" Huo Zhenteng, who had a belly full of words prepared, didn't get a chance to speak, and seeing the plaque being taken down, he grew anxious.

Having bought Chenxin Snack for eight million, the thing he valued most was this signboard.

He went to stop them, but was blocked by Zichen.

Zichen said with a smile: "Chairman Huo, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? I should be the one asking you that. Sheng Zichen, what do you mean? I spent eight million to buy Chenxin Snack, which includes everything in Chenxin Snack, including that plaque."

"Chairman Huo, don't be impatient. Let me explain it to you. Before the auction started, the host stated it very clearly. Did Xiao Huang... no, wait, did Huang Zong not hear it clearly?"

"I don't want to hear your explanation. In any case, there is no such thing as taking down a plaque when transferring a shop. Sheng Zichen, aren't you afraid of being boycotted by the industry by doing this? It's against the rules!"

"The rules were already laid out and placed in the open; it was written very clearly in black and white. If you don't believe me, you can go back and check the contract. As for a boycott by the industry? You must be very familiar with that feeling, so I won't need to..."

As the two were talking, Gu Yuxin had already let them take down the plaque and entered.

Gu Yuxin glanced at the nearly uncomposed Huo Zhenteng; she felt her boyfriend was simply too wicked.

Why not tell him the truth directly?

And still explain it in such a leisurely manner?

A dull knife cutting meat is the most painful; this bad guy, but she liked it very much.

She simply sat to the side to watch the show, watching Zichen say unhurriedly: "You said Huang Zong didn't hear it clearly, that's not my business. He is your General Manager, you are one family, and I won't interfere in your family affairs. Do you have anything else you want to ask now? If not, let's proceed with the handover..."

"... I'm still waiting to prepare for the opening of a new shop, I'm very busy!"

Huo Zhenteng's head throbbed with pain.

Excluding the trademark, what use was an empty shop to him?

A pile of tables and chairs plus a few months' rent, how could it possibly be worth eight million?

"Aren't you afraid I'll sue you for fraud? And make this matter known to the whole industry?" Huo Zhenteng's mind turned, and a plan came to him.

He threatened Zichen: "Your family is so rich, but I am a person with nothing to lose. If this matter is exposed, who do you think public opinion will favor?"

Zichen retorted: "Are you really a person with nothing to lose? Don't forget why you went into Prison."

"Do you think people will believe a diligent and enterprising good youth like me, or someone like you with a tainted history?"

"I am not afraid of your threats. You can go ahead and sue. Many big shots in the culinary world attended the auction that day, and everyone heard the precautions mentioned by the host. Only Huang Zong didn't pay attention. Who are you blaming?"

Huo Zhenteng: ……

Damn it, he had actually calculated everything.

He had set a trap to force him to jump in, and he had actually jumped in!

Without a doubt, people would certainly believe Sheng Zichen; he was afraid that if this matter blew up, it would do him no good at all.

The threat didn't work, so Huo Zhenteng rolled his eyes, and his expression immediately softened a lot.

He smiled and praised: "Young and promising, the younger generation is formidable!"

"Zichen, I saw that you were no ordinary person the first time we met a few years ago, and that you would soar into the sky sooner or later. That was just a joke just now, you don't need to take it too seriously."

"I admire you very much. You have talent and really like this industry. We will be peers from now on; why make things so awkward when we will see each other often?"

So he had changed his strategy?

He switched to a soft approach.

But Sheng Zichen didn't buy it.

He said: "People say that even brothers must settle accounts clearly, let alone that I am not familiar with you. It is better to do things according to the rules."

Sheng Zichen was immune to both soft and hard tactics, so Huo Zhenteng had no choice but to admit defeat.

He had originally come excitedly to cause trouble for Sheng Zichen, but ended up nearly having a heart attack himself.

But this was only the beginning.

Huo Zhenteng went back and gave Xiao Huang a harsh scolding, calling him a pig-brained fool, useless, listening to whatever others said, and suffering such a big loss because he was fooled, and now he had to pay for it himself.

After the scolding, he told Xiao Huang to get lost immediately; he was fired!

He could endure being scolded, but being fired like this, without severance pay, and not even getting that month's salary, he was unconvinced.

He felt that he had worked so hard for him and thought for him, yet he was being discarded like a worn-out shoe; he was truly a terrible person.

He was unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

After all, Huo Zhenteng's business was about to grow, and his chance to make big money was still ahead; if he were kicked out now, where would he find such an opportunity in the future?

Xiao Huang nodded and bowed, apologizing in a servile manner.

He said, "You are right to scold me; it was my lack of experience that let me be fooled by that Sheng Zichen. He is too cunning, I will definitely be careful in the future."

"Please calm your anger and don't say such harsh things. I will work my life away in the future to make up for this loss for you."

Still want to work for him?

This one time had already ruined him; he dared not use someone so brainless again!

Huo Zhenteng did not buy this: "Get out, get lost right now! Even if you talk until you're blue in the face today, it's useless; I'm not using you anymore."

Xiao Huang did not expect the two of them to fall out so quickly.

Huo Zhenteng's speed at discarding someone once they had outlived their usefulness was too fast; since the other party had already turned hostile, there was no need for him to continue acting like a lackey.

Xiao Huang immediately changed his expression, abandoning his servile appearance, and said indignantly, "Huo Zhenteng, you want to kick me to the curb after using me? It won't be that cheap. You can fire me, but pay me one million in compensation and I'll leave."
