Save the Company

Huo Zhou was speechless.

Recalling Huo Xiaoran’s original intention for establishing the Angel Group, he said unhappily, “Yes, you established this Angel Group for Qiao An.”

Before and after Qiao An’s miscarriage, her emotions fluctuated greatly. However, after the treatment with medicine and Huo Xiaoran’s 24-hour care during this period, Qiao An’s emotions had already calmed down.

She held Xiaoran’s hand guiltily and said, “Since it’s the Angel Group that was established for me, Brother Xiaoran, protect it.”

This was the first time in more than a month that Qiao An had addressed him by her nickname for him. Huo Xiaoran’s heartstrings, which had been trembling for many days, instantly broke. He buried his head in her shoulder and murmured passionately, “An’an, I’m so afraid that you won’t want me anymore.”

Qiao An smiled faintly. “No.”

Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran out and said anxiously, “Alright, alright. You and An’an have already resolved the knot. Now, come back to work with me.” Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An uneasily. “An’an, can I go?”

Qiao An’s eyes lit up. “Go and revive the Angel Group. Don’t let the Lu family and Li Zecheng step on my head.”

With Qiao An’s encouragement, Huo Xiaoran’s fighting spirit was immediately ignited. He said ambitiously, “An’an, don’t worry. I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

Huo Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

After walking out of the house, Huo Zhou reported the recent company situation to Huo Xiaoran. “You don’t know, Li Zecheng has been extremely arrogant recently. Now that he has hooked up with the Lu family, the Li Kang Group has signed a few big orders. It’s said that this year’s turnover has already surpassed our Angel Group.”

Huo Xiaoran did not speak, as if he was deep in thought.

Huo Zhou asked him, “Do you have any good ideas? Xiaoran, since the Lu family is your main family, why don’t you acknowledge them? Perhaps Old Master Lu will help you on account that you’re his biological grandson?”

Huo Xiaoran frowned and refused firmly. “I won’t acknowledge the Lu family.”

Huo Zhou was very anxious. “Then how can you revive the glory of the Angel Group?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou solemnly. “While having powerful connections will indeed bring a lot of benefits to business promotion, pharmaceutical groups are different from other companies. Its specialty is that it serves the lives of people. If our Angel Group can develop more effective and safer medicine, there’s no need for me to go around looking for sales channels. There are many companies willing to cooperate with me.”

Huo Zhou said, “Although your analysis makes sense, how can our Angel Group have time to develop special medicine in a short period of time?”

Huo Xiaoran said meaningfully, “Come with me to the R&D department of the Angel Group.”

Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran in surprise. His intuition told him to be so calm and confident; Xiaoran probably had a backup plan for the Angel Group.

When Huo Xiaoran brought Huo Zhou to the research and development department, Huo Zhou was originally worried that the Angel Group’s research and development department would suffer a heavy blow if Li Zecheng poached the elites of the research and development department.

Unexpectedly, while Huo Xiaoran was back, he reorganized the research and development department of the Angel Group. The founders of the Angel Group returned and put on their white coats. Like employees, they did experiments day and night.

Huo Zhou was speechless. “Xiaoran, how did you invite them?”

In Huo Zhou’s opinion, people went higher, and water flowed lower. The Angel Group had suffered a heavy blow and did not have the high funds to tempt these world-famous scientists to return.

Huo Xiaoran explained, “They’ve always been shareholders of our Angel Group and are also experts in charge of the R&D department. They receive a considerable dividend from the Angel Group every year. Now that the Angel Group is in trouble, they have no choice but to take action.”

Huo Zhou was pleasantly surprised. “They’re all veterans of the Angel Group. Back then, it was because of them that the Angel Group could rise rapidly as a dark horse. Now that they’re back, I don’t think it will be so difficult for the Angel Group to rise. The only difficulty is time.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Our special medicine is already out. It’s in the second stage of the clinical trial. It can be released soon.”

Huo Zhou was surprised. “Xiaoran, when did you invest in this project? How did it work so quickly?”

Xiao Ran said, “This project was already in development when I was still Xing Chen.”

Huo Zhou came to a realization. “I remember now. The epidemic in that village was resolved by the Chinese herb prescription you made.”

Xiao Ran smiled and said, “Now we have to refine the effective chemical ingredients in the herbs and make them into portable pills.”

Huo Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and patted Xiaoran’s shoulder excitedly. “Xiaoran, so you still have a backup plan. If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so anxious.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Next, we still have to ask your media company to promote our new medicine.”

Huo Zhou said readily, “No problem.”

At this moment, the assistant suddenly ran over drenched in sweat and reported something to Huo Xiaoran anxiously, “President Huo, the Lu Corporation and the Li Kang Group have ostracized our Angel Group. Now, many old friends want to terminate the contract with us. They said that the medicine developed by the Li Kang Group are identical to our Angel Group, but the price is much cheaper. Therefore, they’d rather pay the termination fee to terminate the contract with us.”

Huo Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said, “In that case, let’s give them a taste of their own medicine. Record these companies that went back on their word and carry out reciprocal sanctions.”

“Yes.” The assistant left in a hurry.

Huo Zhou was very worried. “Xiaoran, Li Zecheng has joined forces with the Lu family to pursue you. You have to be careful. If you really can’t, just acknowledge the Lu family, right?”

Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at Huo Zhou and said, “You don’t know, Lu Xiaoyun portrayed me as a scumbag in front of Old Lu. Old Lu called me trash who relied on women to get to where I am. If I beg him now, I will only be despised by him.”

“Besides, because of Lu Xiaoyun, An’an has been much colder to me. I’m really avoiding the Lu family. I’d rather have the company collapse than have anything to do with the Lu family.”

At this point, Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were clearly bloodshot.

“An’an has never been so angry in her life. I’m afraid her feelings for me will never return to before. Thinking of this, my heart hurts. What’s the use of the company?”

Huo Zhou did not expect Lu Xiaoyun’s matter to traumatize An’an so much. Seeing Huo Xiaoran’s unprecedented dispiritedness, Huo Zhou was also very sad and blamed himself.
