Chapter 939: Repeated Humiliation
Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Repeated Humiliation
"Mr. Yu said they deliberately didn’t bring an invitation, and it’s very likely. Who has the Yunhai Enterprise Federation ever bothered to consider?"
"Exactly, and after dominating the market for so many years, they naturally resent the entrance of Qifeng Group."
"So they deliberately arrived late, and then blamed it on not receiving an invitation."
"Heh, what a foolish excuse. Qifeng Group, at its level, would miss sending a few invitations?"
Yu Zhongtian’s mockery immediately resonated with the people present.
Although they were local enterprises, they had long harbored grievances against the Yunhai Enterprise Federation.
At this moment, they were even less inclined to pull punches.
"You!" It was clear bullying, and Han Minghao’s anger surged as he looked at Yu Zhongtian.
Fu Yunwei, Mr. Liu hurriedly held him back.
They were also furious.
However, this scene was, in fact, anticipated before arrival, since interactions with Qifeng Group had always been unpleasant.
Yet, they could not afford not to come. Today was not only about meeting with Qifeng Group, but also about discussions with two other enterprise associations, attended by a key figure from the Yunhai City Government Office.
They had to come, and it wasn’t an option to just leave after a disagreement.
Yu Zhongtian of Qifeng Group was banking on this.
"Quite the temper, if you didn’t want to come, no one forced you! If you want to leave, no one’s stopping you!" Next to Yu Zhongtian, Song Yao spoke with a sneer.
This woman, once she spoke, made people’s anger intensify.
"Just endure it, little Mr. Han."
"Yeah, Brother Hao."
"Don’t be rash, Minghao."
Many people whispered their advice.
Han Minghao’s face turned an iron blue, his fists clenched, nails digging into flesh, but in the end, he held back his retort.
"Can we take our seats now? Even if we arrived a bit late, we are still guests of Mr. Yu!" Han Minghao spoke, his voice cool.
Yu Zhongtian smiled and shrugged his shoulders, making a welcoming gesture.
However, as soon as Han Minghao stepped forward,
Yu Zhongtian spoke up again, "Before taking your seat, wouldn’t you make a self-introduction? My friend! You look like the leader, so who are you representing?"
Han Minghao paused mid-step, looking at Yu Zhongtian, "I am Han Minghao, representing the Yunhai Han Family, attending in place of my grandfather, Han Dong..."
"You’re representing the Han Family? What, is Han Dong so busy that he can’t come?" Yu Zhongtian played with a cup, his smile brimming, "If he doesn’t come, there are many things I’d reluctantly discuss with Han Chengren. Han Chengren isn’t coming either? Your Han Family is really not giving face!"
By directly naming Han Minghao’s grandfather and father, and mentioning Han Chengren with a tone of ’reluctant to talk,’ Yu Zhongtian seemed to regard even Han Chengren as scarcely worth his notice.
"You can talk to me, I am the future helmsman of the Han Family," Han Minghao glared back at him.
"You? Ha ha!" Yu Zhongtian seemed to hear something amusing and let out a prolonged laugh.
His laughter set off a wave of laughter from the others, and various scornful looks converged on Han Minghao.
Yu Zhongtian shook his head while laughing, "What are you, anyway!"
Such words, such contempt, made veins stand out on Han Minghao’s forehead.
Yet, he was left speechless!
Qifeng Group was more than ten times stronger than his Han Family; being humiliated by a peer and unable to retaliate was intolerable!
The worst part was that he could not just turn around and leave!
In the midst of countless jeers, Han Minghao suddenly remembered something his grandfather, Han Dong, had said before.
His grandfather had said that this was a test for him.
He might encounter an "obstacle" beyond his imagination.
"This obstacle is the biggest hurdle on your path to maturity! Dignity! If you can set it aside, yet not abandon it, press it into your heart like a heavy stone forever perched on the tip of your soul, driving you to strive relentlessly and move forward, then you will have crossed it. Your future will have limitless possibilities!"
At the time, Han Dong had said these words.
Han Minghao had listened attentively at the time, nodding repeatedly, though not deeply affected.
But now, being publicly questioned as to what he amounted to, Han Minghao suddenly thought of his grandfather’s words.
Suddenly, he felt an epiphany.
Right then, he faced that "obstacle."
The indignities of today were the dignities of tomorrow.
He should remember it for his whole life and bear the burden!
Just as Fu Yunwei, Mr. Liu, and the others were worrying, Han Minghao slowly exhaled a breath of murky air.
"I’m really sorry, Mr. Yu. My grandfather, my father, they have to meet a very important person! They can’t get away! Me being here should be enough! No matter how Mr. Yu views it, I am still destined to be the future helmsman of the Han Family!" Han Minghao’s response was crisp and decisive, with a hint of counter-attack.
It didn’t seem like him at all!
Fu Yunwei and Mr. Liu were both secretly shocked.
Yu Zhongtian was greatly surprised.
He had investigated before, and this Han Minghao was not this type of character!
He didn’t expect Han Dong could endure, and even spit out such graceful words.
"Can we take our seats now?" Han Minghao asked.
Seeing his own response shock many present, and even stop their mockery, Han Minghao knew, his transformation was correct.
Neither servile nor overbearing.
These four words are easy to say, difficult to do, and even harder to grasp under adverse conditions.
However, once you comprehend the knack, not only can you maintain your dignity, but you can also fight back!
Seeing Yu Zhongtian nod subconsciously, Han Minghao led people over.
There were only eight seats left, and obviously, the main seat couldn’t be taken, as it was reserved for the Yunhai City Government Office.
That left only seven seats, and they had brought ten people.
Was this deliberate difficulty?
Han Minghao didn’t bother with it and directly called the waiter to add seats.
"I’m sorry, sir, but you can’t add seats here," the waiter stated bluntly.
Can’t add seats?
Han Minghao frowned.
"I’m truly sorry, this private room is only this big, this table only has thirty seats, since you’ve arrived late, I think you’ll just have to make do. Those who can’t sit down can take a seat on the sofa over there, don’t worry, when the dishes are served, we can arrange some to be brought over there, after all, you’re here to eat, Qifeng Group wouldn’t let someone go back hungry, right?" Yu Zhongtian smiled, "As for who stays and who goes, you all discuss it amongst yourselves."
Yu Zhongtian was intentionally causing internal division within their group.
The faces of the people behind Han Minghao turned ugly.
This was too much, way too much!
It was one thing to cause trouble time and again, but now to not even provide enough seats!
This was a humiliation to them.
And a provocation!
The people from Yunhai Enterprise Federation represented not only themselves but each of their enterprises!
The loss wasn’t personal face, but the face of their enterprises!
"Just three seats short, we’ll think of a solution!"
At this moment, Han Minghao, on the contrary, calmed his own people.
"You’re short by not just three seats. Could the dignitaries from the government office come without entourage? We need to reserve seats for them; at most, you’ll have five seats!" Song Yao suddenly spoke up, her smile full of mockery.
Only five seats, half the enterprises couldn’t sit at the table!
The complexions of those enterprise representatives immediately worsened.
This time, they could hardly restrain themselves!
"How could this be possible!"
"This is going too far!"
"Time and again, you’re going too far!"
Many voiced their indignation.
"Silence!" Han Minghao barked, looking at those people, "Let’s not allow others to watch and laugh at us! Is it just about not getting a table? The Han Family is willing to give up seats!"
Han Minghao voluntarily gave up a seat from his family.
Afterward, Han Minghao turned to look at Yu Zhongtian, and very seriously said, "Mr. Yu, you’re quite imposing today."
"But your methods of throwing around your weight are simply crude!"
"These days, I have come to know a peer, and you’re not on his level!"
"You’re far from it!"
