"Pick up the phone already!"

Wang Zhanggen urged Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai felt some inner resistance, but still answered the call.

Because he didn't want his father to get angry over such a small matter; after all, this old man now had cancer, and he was afraid that if his temper flared up, his condition would worsen.

"Hello, General Manager Huo, is something the matter?"

Wang Erhai asked politely.

He glanced at Wang Zhanggen.

Only to see Wang Zhanggen staring fixedly with both eyes, ears pricked up listening.

"President Wang, have you been well lately?"

Huo Guoqiang didn't get straight to the point, but asked with concern.

Wang Erhai replied politely:

"Pretty good. Running my own farm, free of scheming and infighting; every day passes carefree and fulfilling beyond compare."

Wang Erhai's words already carried the meaning of blocking Huo Guoqiang from opening his mouth to invite him.

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang could only laugh awkwardly.

The words he wanted to say, before he could even open his mouth, he no longer knew how to begin.

But just then, he faintly heard Wang Zhanggen's voice:

"Good my ass! A whole pond of fish was poisoned to death; there's even more scheming and infighting in the countryside! Would telling the truth kill you!"

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang immediately froze.

In an instant he felt a "willows dark, flowers bright" sensation.

"President Wang, it seems your return to the village to start a business has also suffered quite a few setbacks."

Wang Erhai was quite speechless; if it were the past, he would absolutely have scolded Wang Zhanggen a good one.

This old man really speaks without any sense of proportion!

Are these words that can be said for Huo Guoqiang to hear?

"General Manager Huo, there are indeed some setbacks, but overall everything is developing in a good direction."

Before Huo Guoqiang could answer, Wang Zhanggen chimed in from the side to undermine him again:

"Where's the good direction? How come I don't see it at all!"

Wang Xiaohua couldn't bear to watch either, and hurriedly said to Wang Zhanggen:

"Dad, say a few words less; Second Brother's affairs, he'll decide for himself!"

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"I'm his father, what's wrong with me saying a couple of sentences to him?"

Wang Xiaohua was left without a reply.

Wang Erhai's scalp tingled; he hurriedly stood up and went outside to take the call.

Wang Zhanggen still wanted to chase after him to listen in on what was going on.

Li Xiulan hurriedly held him back:

"Can you settle down? Are we still eating dinner or not?"

Wang Zhanggen glared at Li Xiulan and muttered:

"Wang Erhai is your son, how come you don't care about him at all?"

Li Xiulan gave him a huge eye-roll:

"Is that what you call caring? Stop pretending to understand what you don't! Blindly directing things will get people killed!"

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face and said:

"How am I blindly directing?"

Li Xiulan said coldly:

"If it weren't for you insisting on dragging Liang Xinghua into Erhai's company before, would that whole string of troublesome things have happened afterward?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen had nothing to say.

He hurriedly sat down, head lowered, picking at his food.

This matter he couldn't quibble about; it really was trouble brought on by his own blind self-assertion.

Wang Erhai went out to the courtyard outside and continued talking with Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, whatever you have to say just say it directly; I'm in the middle of eating dinner with my family."

Huo Guoqiang then said:

"President Wang, since you've asked like this, I'll speak plainly: why don't you come back to work at Liguo Mountain? Your dad's right — starting a business in the countryside has a low ceiling; with this fish pond poisoned, how much money do you stand to lose? Besides, I also heard that the New Era Restaurant you opened in town has gone bankrupt."

This Huo Guoqiang's information network is quite well-informed.

He even knew about the New Era Restaurant going bankrupt.

Wang Erhai frankly said:

"General Manager Huo, I really don't want to go back to scheming and infighting with you people; it's truly exhausting."

But Huo Guoqiang spoke of another matter:

"Rest assured, as long as you're willing to come back, I'll follow the suggestion you gave before and disband the song and dance troupe in the Liguo Shan Public Relations Department — absolutely won't let it create conflict or misunderstanding between you and your wife!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt a helpless urge to retort inwardly.

At a time like this, coming to talk about this — what use is it?

"General Manager Huo, you know perfectly well in your heart that I didn't leave because of that trifling matter with the song and dance troupe."

Huo Guoqiang continued to persuade:

"I understand — this is because you don't want to be manipulated by others, right? That bastard Zhang Sheng, he's truly insidious enough. Back then he pulled a fast one out of nowhere, forcing you to transfer 11% of your equity to him! Rest assured! As long as you come back, Zhang Tianhe and I will have your back, and then we'll deal with that old fox Zhang Sheng together!"

Wang Erhai was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry:

"General Manager Huo, if I go back and we beat Zhang Sheng, are you just going to kick me aside with one foot again?"

Huo Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Between adults, how can something be said so bluntly!

Wang Erhai really doesn't understand the principles of how to conduct oneself and handle affairs!

"President Wang, your words are a bit hurtful — how can you think of me like that? You're my partner, and Niu Chunsheng's good friend; I've never once thought of harming you!"

Wang Erhai just said:

"General Manager Huo, don't waste your breath — I'm not going back. However you fight with Zhang Sheng has nothing to do with me. That's that!"

Huo Guoqiang lost his composure:

"Don't hang up yet! Listen to my last sentence!"

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"I'm listening. Go ahead!"

Huo Guoqiang played his final trump card:

"If you don't come back, I'll have to send the records of you visiting the song and dance troupe back then to your wife."

Wang Erhai's tiger-like frame trembled.

He had indeed gone looking for the song and dance troupe many times, leaving quite a few records.

But it wasn't for himself — it was for other managers in the company.

However, with this kind of thing, whether he actually slept with other women isn't important anymore; what matters is that if these records fall into Zhang Yueran's hands, will Zhang Yueran still trust him unconditionally like she does now?

Back then Zhang Sheng forced him to leave Liguo Mountain using this very move.

And now Huo Guoqiang is forcing him to return to Liguo Mountain using this same move!

Can only say: once a weak spot is exposed, it's not as simple as being manipulated once — you'll be manipulated again and again.

Society is just this cruel.

Wang Erhai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart:

"I'm not going back. If I don't go back, you'll send those records to my wife; if I do go back, Zhang Sheng will send those records to my wife. Are you trying to drive me to a dead end? General Manager Huo, when a common man is enraged, blood splashes five steps — I hope you don't push me too far."

Huo Guoqiang's expression twitched slightly; he knew Wang Erhai was truly angry now.

But he didn't feel fear because of it — he'd been rolling around in the business world for so many years, what kind of storms hadn't he seen?

So he immediately said:

"President Wang, if you don't want to come back, I won't force you. But the 15% equity you hold — on major company decisions, you must exercise your voting rights."

What Huo Guoqiang actually wanted wasn't Wang Erhai's return, but the decision-making power of the 15% equity in Wang Erhai's hands to return to his side.

Otherwise, with the current situation, Zhang Sheng controls 21% equity, Wu Moli controls 27% equity — together that's already 48%.

While he, Huo Guoqiang, has 27%, Zhang Tianhe has 10% — together only 37%.

On major resolutions, even if the two of them work in perfect unison, they completely can't beat Zhang Sheng and Wu Moli!

Only by pulling Wang Erhai's 15% equity over to his side can he reverse the losing situation in his contest with Zhang Sheng.
