Lin Corporation, Headquarters.
Inside the conference room.
Lin Jianjun's face was ashen, and he could clearly sense the shift in the attitudes of the board members.
Although he felt furious, he was also helpless.
Unless Lin Corporation could rise again.
Otherwise, as the nominal chairman, he would soon be disregarded by everyone...
"Old Lin, what are you standing there for? |_?)"
"Stop wasting time! Hurry up and go to the Su family, beg them to give us the formula for the [Beauty Pill]."
"Only then might our Lin Corporation turn the situation around from the verge of bankruptcy..."
"Maybe this crisis could even turn out to be a blessing in disguise—an opportunity to soar higher than ever before."
"......"
At this moment, that same board member in a black suit once again frowned and urged Lin Jianjun.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The other board members also chimed in, urging Lin Jianjun to hurry up and take action...
Huh???
[Beauty Pill]?
What is that thing? And what's it got to do with the Su family?
Just relying on that so-called [Beauty Pill], Lin Corporation can recover and stage a comeback???
Are you kidding me?!
Lin Jianjun looked completely bewildered. He had been hiding in the hospital before and had no clue about the [Beauty Pill] matter...
"No way, Chairman! The whole world knows about the [Beauty Pill], and you still don't?"
"I'm speechless! Old Lin, the moment you went to the hospital, did you just shut yourself off from the world?!"
"Just look it up online right now and you'll see! The Su family launched a new beauty product, and thanks to [L] promoting it, it's basically sold out everywhere!"
"Before you got here, we already discussed it... If we could also produce this miracle pill, Lin Corporation would definitely make a huge comeback and return to glory!"
"....."
From the scattered information the board members shared, Lin Jianjun gradually pieced together the whole story.
Then he pulled out his phone and began searching up the [Beauty Pill].
Soon.
His face turned ugly as he put down his phone.
[L]?
Why is it that [L] again?
Is he destined to be my Lin family's nemesis?!
Last time he ruined my plans, and now he's helping the Su family advertise?
This bastard seriously needs to die!!!
Lin Jianjun cursed continuously in his heart, utterly hating this [L] who kept causing trouble for him—almost as much as he hated his unfilial son, Lin Xuan...
"Old Lin! Stop spacing out and do something. Call Su Shengtian right now and set up a meeting."
"You're family, after all! Your son is his grandson-in-law. If it's just a small request, the Su family surely won't refuse!"
"Uh... Actually, I already called the Su Corporation! Su Shengtian said... as long as his grandson-in-law agrees, he's willing to share the formula unconditionally."
"Then isn't this a sure thing?! Young Master Lin is still Old Lin's son, after all. He wouldn't just sit back and watch our corporation collapse, right?"
"Chairman! Quickly contact Young Master Lin Xuan and ask him to be merciful and lend a helping hand to save Lin Corporation!"
"....."
Now, everyone was in the same boat.
If one prospers, all will prosper; if one falls, all will fall.
Upon hearing that Lin Xuan was the key to saving Lin Corporation,
The board members were overjoyed and urged him relentlessly.
But under everyone's expectant gaze, Lin Jianjun's face darkened, and he snapped impatiently:
"You all know… things are different now. Back then, I did have a good relationship with the Su family."
"But over the years, our relationship has long since faded. In fact, not long ago, we completely fell out."
"And that unfilial son even severed ties with me. He definitely won't care about me."
"......"
Recalling Lin Xuan's cold, heartless back at the hospital, Lin Jianjun felt utterly disheartened.
He made up his mind—even if the company went bankrupt, even if he died on the streets or jumped off a rooftop, he would never again consider Lin Xuan his son.
He wanted Lin Xuan to forever be without a father's love, to live in a state of emotional deprivation, suffering for the rest of his life.
"So, what if you severed ties? You're still father and son!"
"Old Lin! The company is on the brink of life and death—are you really still worried about saving face?"
"Think of the bigger picture! No matter what, you should at least try. You don't want to just sit back and watch the company die, do you?"
"The company's stock price is about to hit rock bottom. If this continues, our shares will be worth nothing."
"Old Lin, stop being so stubborn and just soften your tone! Honestly, why were you always so harsh on Lin Xuan before? You used to hit and scold him all the time—see where that got you?"
"......"
The entire room of board members chimed in to persuade him.
They didn't care about Lin Jianjun's family drama.
All they cared about was pulling Lin Corporation back from the brink of bankruptcy to preserve the value of their shares.
Under their incessant persuasion.
Lin Jianjun ultimately couldn't escape… the "truth always wins" principle!
To avoid ending up homeless, he finally gave in, took out his phone, and dialed his unfilial son Lin Xuan's number...
"The number you dialed is currently in a call~~"
"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable~~"
Two minutes passed.
The people around him had strange expressions, while Lin Jianjun's face grew darker and darker.
He called over a dozen times.
But every single one was instantly hung up, followed by an official telecom message.
Seeing this, how could the others not guess what had happened? Everyone immediately understood—Lin Jianjun had been blocked by his own son!
"That damn bastard!!!"
In front of so many people, he—a father—had his number blocked by his own son.
Lin Jianjun was utterly humiliated.
In a fit of rage, he smashed his iPhone onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Looking at the furious Lin Jianjun, although the crowd felt some sympathy, they still spoke up one after another:
"Old Lin, stop losing your temper. There's no time for tantrums right now. Since your son has blocked you, just go see him in person."
"That's right, that's right! Actually, visiting him in person is better than calling—it shows sincerity!"
"All you need to do is lower your stance and sincerely apologize to your son. As long as he softens, he will forgive your past actions, and our company will be saved."
"Makes sense! I think this is a completely reasonable suggestion!"
"........"
Hearing the board members' suggestions, Lin Jianjun felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger, his face dark and filled with disbelief.
These bastards, just a while ago, were bowing and scraping before me, trying to curry favor.
And now, just for their own interests, they want me to go in person and endure humiliation from that unfilial son?!!
He's already blocked me—what clearer message could there be???
And now they want me to go to him in person and apologize…
Isn't that just letting him stomp my dignity into the ground?
In what world does a father apologize to his son?
What kind of twisted logic is this?!!
