Chapter 1409: Profit Above All Else

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Profit Above All Else

Huang Miao really wanted to just leave!

He didn’t want to stay here for another moment!

This guy speaks with barbs and sarcasm, even if he doesn’t ridicule me to death, he’ll annoy me to death.

Huang Miao didn’t dare to be polite anymore, who knows what other shocking words this guy would come up with.

Huang Miao stood up from the sofa and bluntly said, "I’m here to apologize on behalf of my son."

Lin Tian walked down the stairs. Upon hearing Huang Miao’s words, he nodded symbolically. His gaze settled on the pile of gifts on the coffee table.

There were quite a few things, a heap of red and green.

"Are those gifts your token of apology?" Lin Tian stepped forward to take a look.

Huang Miao forced a smile and said, "Just a small gesture, I wasn’t sure what to bring. Tea, red wine, those sorts should..."

Halfway through Huang Miao’s words, Lin Tian interrupted and asked, "You wouldn’t have poisoned these, would you?"

"..."

Huang Miao’s expression at that moment was quite remarkable; he was frozen.

If Huang He were sitting here now, he would surely have stormed out by now.

Huang Miao had composure; he could endure. He could see that Lin Tian’s actions from the beginning were deliberate, disgusting just for the sake of it.

Even King Goujian of Yue could endure bitterness, so I’ll bear with it. Endure for a while and the sky opens wide!

"Mr. Lin is joking, how could I dare?"

Lin Tian’s gaze left the gifts and he sat on the sofa, crossing his legs as he said, "Your son dares to have his underlings hire assassins to kill, and you, being his father, might be even more ruthless. Who knows?"

Huang Miao stood in front of Lin Tian, suddenly bent over, and bowed to Lin Tian. He said, "The wrongdoings of my son are due to my failure as a father to discipline him properly. I apologize to you again."

Lin Tian chuckled lightly, "The person you should apologize to shouldn’t be me, right? The victim is still lying in a hospital bed, does apologizing to me make any sense?"

"For Mr. Li, I will offer additional compensation, invite the best medical team, and do my utmost."

Lin Tian laughed, "Shouldn’t the apology come from your treasured son? Why not bring him over?"

Talking about this, Huang Miao felt aggrieved!

Huang He was already gravely injured, then Lin Tian gave him a hefty beating; how could he recover in less than six months? Not to mention bringing him over to apologize to Lin Tian. And with Huang He’s temper, even if he came, he wouldn’t bow his head.

Huang Miao said, "He was sent to the Sai Continent to recover, and he can’t get out of bed now. A failure to teach is the father’s fault, so it’s my responsibility."

"You’re quite the talker. Sending him abroad, are you afraid I’ll retaliate?"

Huang Miao didn’t know how to respond to this question, the fact was indeed so.

Lin Tian continued, "Do you think sending him abroad makes him safe? Don’t you think this actually makes it easier for me to find someone to act?"

"..."

"What’s wrong? Don’t believe it? You can make a call to your son now, see if the phone connects."

Watching Lin Tian’s serious look, Huang Miao suddenly panicked, could this guy really...

He hurriedly took out his phone, first called his son, it beeped busy, after six ’beeps’ the call was finally answered.

"Hello." Huang Miao’s tone had a slight tremor.

"Dad, what’s up?"

Hearing Huang He’s voice, Huang Miao immediately understood that he had been played again. But he couldn’t vent his anger on Lin Tian, he could only shout at his son on the phone, "You little brat! Why take so long to answer the phone? Do you even consider me your dad?!

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end, and then Huang He evidently still didn’t react, and asked back, "Dad, what’s happening?"

"Nothing, hang up."

Finished saying begrudgingly, Huang Miao was about to hang up when Lin Tian hurriedly stopped him, "Don’t hang up! Didn’t you want to apologize to me? He can’t apologize face-to-face due to his health, I understand, but can’t he apologize over the phone?"

Huang Miao’s fingers holding the phone turned slightly blue, this Lin Tian, too much!

Lin Tian seemed oblivious to Huang Miao’s displeasure, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Can’t do it?"

"Fine!" Huang Miao almost said through gritted teeth, then opened the hands-free option and told Huang He on the phone, "Now apologize to Mr. Lin Tian, and be sincere."

"What?!" Huang He’s voice suddenly became sharp, "Dad, are you crazy? You want me to apologize to him?! No way!"

Huang Miao roared, "If you don’t apologize, never call me dad again! If I go to prison, you’ll be left to wander the streets!

This sentence was loaded with meaning. It directly told Huang He if you don’t apologize, your dad is heading to jail!

Although Huang He was quite the playboy, reckless a bit, but he could read the situation, this is the time to bow the head, bend the knee!

"Lin Tian, I’m sorry!" Huang He said over the phone.

Lin Tian chuckled, "Did you not hear your dad earlier? Be sincere, who are you trying to brush off?!"

There was silence again on the other end, five seconds later, Huang He said, "I’m sorry! I deeply apologize for my past wrongdoings."

"Alright alright, I’m getting sick of hearing it. Let’s leave it at that." Lin Tian said full of disdain, then told Huang Miao, "You can hang up now."

"..."

Huang Miao was truly speechless. He didn’t think this phone call was a joke, he believed that Lin Tian really had the ability to let his son die abroad. This call was also a warning!

Leaning back on the sofa, Lin Tian said, "I don’t want to see your son ever again. Perhaps it’s best if he doesn’t return within ten years?"

"..." Huang Miao gritted his teeth, "Fine!"

Letting that kid reflect abroad is not too bad. Of course, whether Huang He can really stay abroad for ten years, who can say for sure?

This apology, although begrudging, was not the worst outcome in Huang Miao’s view.

If he were directly turned away, no negotiations available, that would be the worst outcome, meaning, very likely, he’d face court battles, with low chances of winning.

So the insults from Lin Tian, Huang Miao could accept them.

Taking advantage of a somewhat eased relationship now, Huang Miao said, "I heard your father started an orchard back home, I happen to deal in fruits in Kanyue City, if possible, our families can cooperate."

Huang Miao believed that everything in the world is transient. Only interest is above all! Give Lin Tian enough interest, this hurdle can be overcome!

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Looks like you’ve really done your homework, this cooperation really fits my tastes."

It was said before to arrange sales channels for the orchard, even exporting overseas. But Qiansimei didn’t sell fruits at all, had no channels for it, moreover, Shishi is nurturing, leaving work to others. Trying to manage fruit sales would certainly be ended abruptly.

Huang Miao’s proactive cooperation came just in time!
