Chapter 995: Paying a Visit to Apologize

In a private hospital, Hu Jin was wrapped in several bandages; these were from being beaten by Chen Yu yesterday. He had finally managed to apply his medicine and had just closed his eyes for a moment.

But before he could have a moment of peace, the door was kicked open from the outside with a bang...

"What are you doing? Are you looking to die? I just lay down, can't a person even sleep?" Hu Jin cursed loudly; his mood was already bad to begin with.

But after he saw clearly who had come in, he couldn't help but shiver, because the person standing before him with a face full of fury was none other than his own father.

Hu Jin's father was indeed a bigwig in the Energy Department, a person in charge. He had only had Hu Jin when he was over forty; having a son in his old age, he treasured him greatly, which was the reason why Hu Jin could be so lawless.

But today, he had received a call from his own father, and while he was in the middle of a meeting, he was cursed at roundly. He was left dizzy and bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

After being scolded, he called his family's elder, Hu Lao, and only then did he learn the cause of the matter, and that he had to personally bring the approved project to the He Group to apologize.

In truth, once a project is rejected, it is troublesome to get it re-approved; even though he was in charge of the energy sector, it still had to go through research and stamping from multiple departments.

This morning, he took the project documents and personally ran to several departments to get all the stamps. Putting on a forced smile and saying nice things was one thing, but most importantly, he, a dignified bigwig of the Energy Department, now had to take the project documents and personally run to the He Group to apologize.

Moreover, Hu Lao had specifically said he must go, otherwise he would be made to look bad, and he didn't dare not go.

Originally, he hadn't paid any attention when rejecting this project; it was Hu Jin who had given the opinion. Although Hu Jin was a playboy, in his father's eyes, he was very outstanding.

So when Hu Jin raised this issue, he didn't think much of it and directly rejected the project, but he never dreamed that after this project was rejected, it would be so troublesome.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Hu Jin looked at his father's displeased expression.

"This project was rejected because you pushed for it, right? I trusted you, which is why I rejected this project without even looking at it," Hu Jin's father said, suppressing his anger.

"That's right, Dad. What good project could the He Group possibly have? Not just this project, but from now on, no energy-related projects from the He Group or the Chen Group will ever pass through our Hu Family. Furthermore, I will contact everyone I know to destroy their family," Hu Jin said hatefully.

As a member of the Prince Party, he had his pride and authority; he would not allow himself to have taken this beating in vain, and he had already thought of how to deal with Chen Yu.

"Shut your mouth! Do you know what kind of disaster you've brought upon me? Your grandfather personally inquired about this matter. He told me to personally take this thing to the He Group to apologize—do you understand what apologizing means?" Hu Jin's father finally exploded in rage.

"Dad, how did Grandfather know about this? That's impossible; how could he possibly know?" Hu Jin was shocked.

"Shut your mouth! Your grandfather already intends to put you in solitary confinement. Don't bother healing your injuries; go to the confinement room to recover. I'm warning you, if you dare to provoke Chen Yu again, I will skin you alive." Hu Jin's father unleashed a torrent of abuse, then hatefully took the items in his hand and walked out the door.

"Dad, why am I being put in solitary confinement? What on earth is going on?" Hu Jin was completely bewildered.

But thinking that the head of his own family had personally inquired about this matter, he couldn't help but shiver; this matter was likely going to be troublesome.

He Group headquarters.

He Lingyun was processing some documents, while Chen Anyi was keeping her company on the side.

"You said our energy plan was rejected? Should we find a way to remedy it now?" Chen Anyi asked.

"We certainly need to find a way to remedy it, but our son has already gone to find a way; there should be results very soon," He Lingyun said with a faint smile.

"He went to remedy it? You have a lot of confidence in him," Chen Anyi laughed.

"Compared to you back then, he has more ability and more courage," He Lingyun said with a light smile, her face full of confidence.

"This..." Chen Anyi was a bit embarrassed. He said with a wry smile, "The son surpassing the father—this is the student outdoing the master."

"Your most outstanding quality is your forbearance," He Lingyun glanced at him and said, "In the Chen Family for so many years, being treated like a servant by that woman, and even being controlled with Medicine, you endured it all. So, when it comes to forbearance, I'm afraid no one in this world can compare to you."

"Forbearance..." Chen Anyi sighed slightly. He remarked with emotion, "Only you would say that this is forbearance. In truth, at that time, other than enduring it, I really had no way to resolve this matter."

"I know, you were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely turn the tables," He Lingyun smiled. "Fortunately, you waited for this opportunity."

"Without our son, I would still be nothing," Chen Anyi smiled and said, "You said he is going to resolve this matter? I'm actually starting to look forward to his performance."

"No need to look forward to it; his performance will be eye-opening," He Lingyun smiled. "I think this matter will be resolved very soon."

"Good, I'll wait," Chen Anyi nodded.

Just at this moment, Mu Xi walked into the room. She smiled and said, "Sister, there is a turning point in the matter."

"So fast? What turning point?" He Lingyun's eyes lit up, and she raised her head to ask.

"Ministry of Commerce official Hu Zhangming has personally approved our energy project. He is currently on his way here with the approved project documents, and judging by what he meant, he also intends to come and apologize in person," Mu Xi smiled.

"Is it that exaggerated?" The couple, He Lingyun and Chen Anyi, were shocked, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Haha, when I first heard about this, I was truly startled. That is Hu Zhangming, a very formidable figure, and he has never bowed his head to anyone. Our young master solved this matter in just one day, and even made him come rushing over to apologize."

The more Mu Xi spoke, the more she found it amusing: "I think this matter has already exceeded our understanding."

"Prepare yourself to welcome Minister Hu," He Lingyun said, her spirits lifted.

Zou Family Courtyard, in a villa.

Zou Ziang's eyes were bloodshot; he must not have slept for a long time. He kept staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Just at this moment, the door opened, and a woman walked in. This woman moved with lotus steps, carrying a cup of tea, and walked up to Zou Ziang.

"Young Master Zou, it's time to go rest for a bit. You will exhaust your body like this," the woman giggled.
