Shencheng.
"Miss He Xin, there’s a favor I’d like to ask of you."
After He Xin followed her elder sister He Qiong to an opulent restaurant, she saw a group of elderly n, which left her feeling unexpectedly flattered.
All of them were moguls from the Hong Kong Circle.
Rich Man Lee, Big Liu, Ship King, and so on.
"If there’s anything you need, uncles, just say the word. I’ll definitely help if I can," He Xin imdiately bowed and responded.
Huo Zhenting brooded for a mont before speaking, "I know you have Madam Lin Yue’s phone number and WeChat. I was hoping you could ask her if she has so ti for . I would like to visit and offer her a personal apology!"
This all stemd from the incident involving the kidnapping of Madam Lin Yue.
All the tycoons present that day couldn’t escape bla for it.
Those in Beijing were particularly furious, and even if this group of people was innocent, they were still deeply affected.
Because of this, Huo Zhenting didn’t stop visiting Beijing to offer apologies.
The Hong Kong Capital investors behind him were also shaking in their boots, simultaneously trying to move their funds back to the mainland as fast as possible while waiting for the higher-ups here to show what kind of signal they would give.
You see, they had already negotiated a deal with Head Gu, who supported them in returning to the dostic market and also offered them benefits in the health and wellness sector.
But then that ss happened.
Now Huo Family’s representative could only scurry about trying to salvage the situation.
But with his influence, he couldn’t even get a eting with Gu Feng.
Having no other options, he could only attempt to indirectly convey their attitude through Lin Yue.
The only person Huo Zhenting could think of to contact Lin Yue was He Xin, which is why her sister had taken He Xin to the restaurant for this current encounter.
"I... I don’t dare to ask," He Xin wasn’t foolish; she knew what had happened that day.
And she knew that the Nascent Soul transformation was Lin’s husband’s doing!
That was a Cultivation Expert.
A transcendental being!
Given the kidnapping during a dinner, at a ti when everyone should be fearing for their own life, who would dare to offer advice at the risk of their death?
If it were anything else, she might have agreed without hesitation to help these respected elders.
But in the face of soone on Gu Feng’s level, she truly feared becoming cannon fodder, vanishing into thin air!
Huo Zhenting tried to reassure her, "I know what you’re afraid of. We’re scared too, but this involves the future of Hong Kong Capital. You’ve seen it, the dostic market is the future trend. This was an accident, but since it happened, we can’t just wait for disaster without making our stance. We have to proactively admit our mistakes."
"According to our agreent, I’m to provide a list of nas from the Hong Kong Circle to Head Gu, but for now, his secretary hasn’t arranged a eting for . That signals a problem. I need to apologize to the Master’s Wife on behalf of our group first. Only by presenting a good attitude can I smoothly et Head Gu!"
A few old fellows adjusted their large-frad glasses, looking at He Xin as they spoke, "All you need to do is make a phone call and ask. If it’s convenient, Zhenting will go and offer his apologies. If it isn’t, no harm done."
"We know you’ve always wanted to start your own business. Regardless of the outco, just na your price later, and we’ll provide you with the funding. The resources and platforms within the circle that you need, we’ll prioritize for you."
He Xin sat there struggling, nervously twisting her fingers.
Feeling the earnest gazes of the elderly n, she finally shakily took out her phone, "Then I’ll just ask."
Then, after gathering her courage, she decided to cut to the chase with a careful ssage: [Lin, are you there? Huo Zhenting asked to inquire if you have any ti? He says he wants to co and apologize to you.]
After that, she anxiously waited for a reply.
The elderly n were equally tense, sitting in silence waiting.
A long while later, when He Xin almost felt she might be blocked, Lin Yue, who had just finished eating fruit, replied: [Is he coming to report to Gu Feng about the issue we agreed upon last ti? Well, Gu Feng is at ho now. He said he’ll be very busy with the coming delegation, so have Huo Zhenting bring the list over now.]
As soon as that ssage ca through, Huo Zhenting instantly grabbed his coat and put it on, while his assistant hurriedly carried the files and they both dashed downstairs, rushing into the car.
The restaurant wasn’t far from Shencheng Bay.
He had to get there quickly; he couldn’t keep the leader waiting too long.
As for the incident of Lin Yue’s abduction, the people involved, Gu Feng and Lin Yue, didn’t actually bla this group of people.
But with sothing as serious as the abduction of the Master’s Wife, many departnts would have to be held accountable, and the residual influence of the higher-ups would surely affect everyone present that day.
When the doorbell rang, Huo Zhenting entered cautiously following Chen.
Seeing Gu Feng, he bowed deeply.
Gu Feng, seeing that he was well up in years, told him to sit down first.
Huo Zhenting didn’t dare to sit. Not only was Gu Feng the Hall Master, but his status as an Immortal alone was enough to command his utmost reverence.
Gu Feng didn’t insist, "Have you compiled the data?"
"Yes, all in order," Huo Zhenting quickly passed the docunts, "I’ve also told them to transfer their assets here."
"Hmm, you’re quite diligent and have done a good job. No wonder so uncles have been pleading on your behalf," Gu Feng said, nodding as he reviewed the docunts.
Upon hearing that high-level officials had interceded for him, Huo Zhenting felt warmth in his heart, grateful for his years of managing the Hong Kong Circle.
After setting down the docunts, Gu Feng looked up to Chen and ordered, "Go to the fridge and bring out 12 Elixirs."
Chen nodded, retrieved the Elixirs from the fridge, placed them in a small square box, and handed it to Huo Zhenting.
Gu Feng said, "Distribute these to the people on the list. After taking them, they can live at least another 20 years. For common illnesses like colds, just take dicine. As long as there’s no deliberate harm, with the current dical care in Dragon Nation, you all could live to 120 without much issue!"
"Thank you, thank you, Head Gu!" Huo Zhenting was overjoyed, constantly bowing and expressing gratitude, his heart thrilled with the confirmation – indeed, Head Gu had Life-Extending Pills!
Gu Feng added, "This extra one, give it to the He Family steward."
"Yes!" Huo Zhenting bowed again.
With that, Chen saw the guest out.
Once Huo Zhenting returned to the restaurant, he distributed the Elixirs to the elderly n present, at least in their eighties, and inford them of their effects.
Amid their excitent, they ingested the pills, revealing satisfied expressions.
He Xin’s elder sister also received one, sowhat stunned, "Do I get one too?"
Huo Zhenting smiled, "Head Gu said to give one to you as well, to help you manage the gambling business properly."
He Xin’s elder sister was moved, grateful for her earlier decision to side with the Huo Family and trust Beijing’s direction.
