Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 230 The Dust Settles

Huo Yingdong knew all of Lu Shaohua's contact information, whether it was the office phone on the 30th floor of the company or the phone in the villa, Huo Yingdong knew it all clearly. It was morning now, and Chen Li was in Hong Kong, so Huo Yingdong called the phone in the villa without thinking.

Huo Yingdong guessed correctly that Lu Shaohua was indeed in the villa. Ever since Li Yunqing called him, he had been watching the market trend of Yongsheng Jewelry on TV. From the trend chart, Lu Shaohua knew that a butterfly effect had been caused, and the decline would be further aggravated by retail investors selling their holdings.

He didn't know how much time had passed as he looked. Lu Shaohua could be described as being completely focused. Everything around him seemed to be still. Even Chen Li, who was sitting not far away from him, he didn't even know when she sat down.

'Ring, ring.'

The ringing of the phone brought Lu Shaohua back to reality. He then realized that Chen Li was also sitting on the sofa watching the constantly updated trend chart on TV. Lu Shaohua scratched his head and called out apologetically. "Mom!..."

"Haha, go answer the phone." Chen Li said with a smile, as if she didn't mind Lu Shaohua's neglect.

"Yeah!" Lu Shaohua responded and walked to the phone and picked up the receiver. "Hello! Who is that?"

"Haha!" A burst of laughter came from the phone first, and then a voice came again after a while. "Xiaohua, it's me, your Grandpa Huo!"

Lu Shaohua usually calls Ho Ying-tung "Grandpa". Ho Ying-tung seems to be very satisfied with this title. He doesn't know why, but he feels that this title is closer, so he often calls himself grandpa.

"Haha! I was just about to call you, old man, but I didn't expect you to call me." Lu Shaohua lied. In fact, he had never thought of calling Ho Ying-tung, but in order to make his words sound better, he told this white lie.

"Haha, you are thoughtful." Huo Yingdong's voice came again, and after a moment, he continued, "Is your mother used to staying in Hong Kong?"

"Thank you Grandpa Huo for your concern. I'm fine. I'll take my mother around Hong Kong these days." Lu Shaohua said politely.

Based on Lu Shaohua's understanding of Huo Yingdong, he knew that today's call was probably not just to greet Chen Li, but he couldn't guess Huo Yingdong's intention. The only thing he could be sure of was that he must have something to find him for. But Huo Yingdong didn't rush to reveal his purpose, and Lu Shaohua didn't expose it, pretending to know nothing.

The two chatted on the phone about irrelevant issues until more than ten minutes later, when Huo Yingdong pretended to cough twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Okay, Xiaohua, I won't chat with you anymore. I have something serious to talk to you about today."

"Here he comes, here he comes, there really is something going on." Lu Shaohua said secretly in his heart, but he only said this in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be listening attentively and said, "Grandpa Huo, if there is anything, just tell me."

"Well, before I say anything, I want to ask you something." At this point, Huo Yingdong paused and said, "Did the Yongsheng Jewelry Company offend you?"

After hearing this, Lu Shaohua was stunned, and a question popped up in his mind. "Is Yongsheng Jewelry related to Huo Yingdong?" Although he had doubts, Lu Shaohua still answered truthfully. "Yes, something happened when I went to buy a diamond necklace yesterday."

No matter how lightly Lu Shaohua said it, Huo Yingdong could still hear the anger in Lu Shaohua's words over the phone. His heart skipped a beat. From this point of view, everything Li Dahai said was true, and it insulted Lu Shaohua and his mother.

At this point, Huo Yingdong no longer played dumb and directly stated the real purpose of this time. "It's like this, just now Li Dahai, oh, the CEO of Yongsheng Jewelry, called me and asked me to plead for you."

Silence, both sides were silent. Huo Yingdong was silent because he was waiting for Lu Shaohua's next attitude, and Lu Shaohua was silent because he was wondering whether Yongsheng Jewelry was related to the Huo family. After thinking for a while, he could not come to a conclusion. If there was a certain relationship, with the Huo family's industry, Yongsheng Jewelry could not be a second-tier listed company. "Grandpa Huo, is Yongsheng Jewelry related to you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Li Dahai has a good reputation in the business world, and I have met him several times." Ho Ying-tung on the other end of the phone said truthfully.

Lu Shaohua fell silent again. To be honest, Lu Shaohua was very angry. This was the first time he got angry since his rebirth. He didn't want this matter to end so hastily without any result, and he couldn't calm down his anger.

But the situation is different now. Huo Yingdong has called Li Dahai to plead for mercy. As the saying goes, if you don't consider the monk's face, consider the Buddha's face. He still has to give Huo Yingdong face, but he doesn't want to let Yongsheng Jewelry go. It's a contradiction, an extreme contradiction.

Seeing that Lu Shaohua on the other end of the phone hadn't spoken for a long time, Huo Yingdong, who was smart, knew what Lu Shaohua was thinking. However, Li Dahai left a good impression on him. Besides, they were both Chinese, so they just lived from day to day. "Xiaohua, I don't know what happened here, but I still want to say that if it's not too much, just let it go. I didn't want to kill him."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled and didn't rush to speak. Of course he was angry, but since Huo Yingdong had said all this, he should give Huo Yingdong some face. "Grandpa Huo, do you know what order I gave Li Yunqing?"

Without waiting for Huo Yingdong to answer, Lu Shaohua asked himself, "Bankruptcy."

With a "buzz" sound, Huo Yingdong's hand holding the phone trembled involuntarily, and the expression on his face changed constantly. He did not expect Lu Shaohua to be so cruel and actually opened his mouth with the word "bankruptcy". At the same time, Huo Yingdong finally realized that there was something unusual in this matter and it might be far more serious than what Li Dahai said. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just let out a sigh.

"But don't worry, Grandpa Huo. Since you've already spoken, I'll let it go." After saying that, Lu Shaohua also breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But, Grandpa Huo, please tell that Li Dahai. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being rude."

**The naked warning was aimed at Li Dahai, but Lu Shaohua's purpose was to warn the Hong Kong business community through Huo Yingdong, including the Huo family. Although he has a good relationship with the Huo family now, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

Of course, Lu Shaohua did make a big fuss about this matter, and he wanted to bankrupt someone just because he said a few insulting words to him. In addition to being very angry, he also wanted to take this opportunity to show the Hong Kong business community the strength of the Phoenix Group.

If nothing unexpected happens, many people in the business community will know about the Yongsheng Jewelry incident. After all, this is the first time that Phoenix Financial has used its own name to hype the business. I think those well-informed people would have no choice but to know about it.

"Haha! I'll tell Li Dahai about it later." Huo Yingdong agreed and then asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua was very puzzled, but did not say anything. He just told Ho Ying-tung the detailed process.

After listening to the whole process, Huo Yingdong seemed to be angry. Only then did he know why Lu Shaohua directly issued the order of "bankruptcy". If Huo Yingdong was Lu Shaohua at that time, he would probably be angry too.

Although Ho Ying-tung was angry, he did not say anything else. The person involved, Lu Shaohua, said forget it. Besides, Yongsheng Jewelry had suffered a lot of losses since its opening, so it was the revenge it deserved. He chatted with Lu Shaohua for a few words and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and called Li Yunqing to ask him to stop the action. At this point, the matter was over. Yes, it was over, but it was only Lu Shaohua's revenge that was over, but Li Dahai's was not over.

……

According to Huo Yingdong's principle of doing things, he would solve any problem as soon as possible. After talking to Lu Shaohua, he called Li Dahai. However, he did not congratulate Li Dahai on the phone, but told Li Dahai the whole process of the incident, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Xiaohai. As for who Li Xiaohai offended, he did not say it, but only said that it was someone who had a deep connection with the Phoenix Group.

Liu De didn't explain in detail. When Li Dahai learned the whole story, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that this incident was caused by a sales clerk in a counter, and his useless brother was caused by a sales clerk who disregarded the company's reputation and insulted people in such a public place, which also caused losses to the company.

Yes, Li Dahai was also angry, but his anger was not directed at the Phoenix Group, but at his brother and the salesperson named Xiaoli. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing that it was not the time to settle the accounts yet. If he wanted to settle the accounts, he had to wait until the company's stock stabilized. He hurried to the secret room to check the situation.

Undoubtedly, Li Yunqing was a good employee who listened to Lu Shaohua's orders. Not long after, Li Yunqing stopped the action and followed another instruction from Lu Shaohua to help pull the stock price back a little, so that Yongsheng Jewelry would suffer less loss. So when Li Dahai arrived at the secret room, his company's stock was slowly rising, and Li Dahai was relieved at this time.

He handed the stock market matter over to Lao Zhang's people and ran back to the office. He first called to thank Liu De, and then sent someone to bring his brother to the company. He wanted to know everything in detail.

……

Lu Shaohua didn't know what Li Dahai was going to do, and he was too lazy to care. Now that the matter was completely resolved, Lu Shaohua no longer thought about it. He took Chen Li out for a stroll, as if it were a tour of Hong Kong.

In this way, a day passed slowly. At nine o'clock the next morning, when Lu Shaohua had breakfast and was about to take his mother out for a walk, a piece of news on TV suddenly caught his attention. After a closer look, Lu Shaohua was dumbfounded. In addition to being dumbfounded, he was also shocked and smiled bitterly.

Yes, I was shocked and also smiled bitterly, because this news is...
