Chapter 349: Chapter 321: Finally Bowing Down?
In that moment, to Gao Tian, Ye Ling was like an iceberg, gradually revealing the massive portion hidden beneath the surface.
The feeling was incredibly unsettling for Gao Tian.
’How can such a young man, not even a college graduate, possess this much power?’
Leaving everything else aside, the very fact that Ye Ling could mobilize the forces of Ning International was utterly unbelievable.
Ning International was undoubtedly one of the top corporations in the Xia Country.
’Has this young man already reached such a height?’
Gao Tian took a deep breath and called Gaoxun. This time, Gaoxun actually picked up instantly.
"Dad, what’s up?" Gaoxun asked as soon as the call connected.
"Are you at a bar again?"
Hearing the noise in the background, Gao Tian couldn’t help but frown deeply. "Didn’t I tell you? Stay away from those places!"
"Dad, it’s just a bar. I’m an adult. What’s wrong with blowing off some steam?" Gaoxun retorted, sounding rather displeased.
Gao Tian was already simmering with anger when he made the call. Hearing his son’s completely nonchalant tone, he flew into a rage.
"What’s wrong with blowing off some steam? Fine! You just keep blowing off steam!" Furious, Gao Tian hung up the phone, slammed his hand on the desk, and turned to his assistant. "You! Go and cancel all of that unfilial son’s cards! Let’s see how he’s going to ’relax’ without my money!"
"The young master’s cards?"
The young assistant was taken aback for a moment before seeking confirmation.
"Yes, cancel all of them. The company is in this mess because of that little bastard, and he has the nerve to ask me what’s wrong with relaxing?"
Gao Tian said angrily. He took a deep breath and continued, "Wait, there’s one more thing. Contact Shengding and see if you can get a way to reach that Ye Ling."
At this point, Gao Tian had already decided to back down!
He had no choice. The power Ye Ling had displayed this time was simply too terrifying.
Shengding Group was one thing, but to also have a top Xia Country enterprise like Ning International make a move... It was safe to say that Tianxun Group was facing an unprecedented crisis!
If they couldn’t appease Ye Ling’s anger and get him to back off, there would probably be no place left for Tianxun Group in the entire Xia Country.
"Yes, sir! I’ll get right on it!"
The young assistant knew his chairman very well. When Gao Tian wore an expression like that, it meant the situation was truly serious.
Therefore, he didn’t dare delay for a second and hurried to carry out his orders.
"Truly, heroes are born from the young..."
After the assistant left, Gao Tian stared at the empty office and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
As the man at the helm of Tianxun Group, he knew better than anyone how much effort it had taken for the company to get to where it was today.
It was anything but easy.
More than a decade had passed since he founded Tianxun Group.
He had been through the times when the entire company operated out of a single small office, and he had watched Tianxun Group climb step by step to the center of the Xia Country’s real estate market...
Most critically!
He had successfully latched onto the great tree that was Shengding Group, which was what allowed Tianxun Group to truly rise.
But now, because of the trouble that damn Gaoxun had caused, not only were all his past efforts going down the drain, but Tianxun Group was even suffering this kind of annihilating blow...
Gao Tian was now seriously considering disowning his son!
...
Around eight o’clock that evening, Gaoxun had his arms around two young women and was about to leave when a waiter suddenly blocked his path.
"Young Master Gao, please wait a moment..." the young waiter said.
"Hm? What is it?" Gaoxun asked, his face full of impatience.
He was just about to take the two women for some three-player games, so he was naturally in a bad mood after being suddenly stopped.
"Young Master Gao, could you please settle the bill before you leave?" the waiter asked.
"The bill? Didn’t I leave a credit card with you? Just charge it to that!" Gaoxun said dismissively. "Hey, are you new here or something? Do you not know who I am?"
After being messed with by Ye Ling and then getting an earful from Gao Tian about Tianxun Group being suppressed by Shengding Group, Gaoxun was a powder keg waiting to explode.
This young waiter, by stopping him repeatedly, had just lit the fuse.
"Young Master Gao, your credit card shows insufficient funds!" The young waiter, naturally sensing Gaoxun’s impatience, said while bracing himself.
He wasn’t new, and he was well aware that Gaoxun was a big spender.
But the key issue was that Gaoxun’s card genuinely wouldn’t go through. He had no choice but to stop him!
"Insufficient funds? How is that possible!" Gaoxun was visibly stunned for a moment, then his brows knitted together.
Gao Tian was the one who gave him his credit cards. While the limits weren’t absurdly high, they were definitely more than enough for a night out.
"It’s true, Young Master Gao. I’ve already tried many times, but it just won’t go through."
The young waiter hastily explained.
"Alright, alright, you people are so slow. It’s just a few thousand bucks. You think I, Gaoxun, can’t afford that?"
With a look of annoyance, Gaoxun waved his hand dismissively, pulled out a wallet, and handed another bank card to the waiter.
