Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Inside the villa.

Fu Zhengting and Mu Tiantian were still asleep.

The two reconciled and finally got a good night's sleep, and with the cold weather, they couldn't resist staying in bed.

Because they were sound asleep, neither of them heard the phone ring several times.

Fu Zhengting was woken up by the urge to urinate. He was about to get up and go to the bathroom. As is his habit, he would check his phone after waking up. He saw that all the missed calls were from his friends who were with him. He couldn't help but frown and had a bad feeling.

Han Huimin called again at this moment.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian was still fast asleep on the bed, he first silenced his phone, then quietly got out of bed, pulled the blanket up to cover Mu Tiantian more tightly, and went outside to the balcony to answer the call.

"President Fu, I finally got through to you on the phone. What's the story behind that dismissal notice? There's all sorts of speculation going on in the industry."

As soon as the call connected, Han Huimin got straight to the point.

Fu Zhengting was stunned for two seconds, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

Although he had guessed that his father would do this, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

He opened the company's WeChat account and saw the internal announcement.

When I checked WeChat again, I received many messages from colleagues, all asking me what happened.

Huo Qijun also sent a message, not asking what happened, but offering words of encouragement: "[Ting, no matter what setbacks you encounter, don't forget that we're here for you]."

She also posted some adorable photos of her little girl.

There is also a voice message.

He clicked to listen, and Xiao Linglong's adorable, childlike voice melted his heart. "Uncle Fu, keep it up! Daddy and I will always support you and love you forever. Also, it's getting cold, remember to wear warm clothes. Love you, mua~~"

He smiled when he heard Xiao Linglong's last words, "Give me a kiss."

Huo Qijun understands him so well; a single comforting word warmed his heart.

Although I don't regret choosing to be with Mu Tiantian, I am currently filled with fear of the unknown.

She feared that her relationship with her father would be completely broken and she would never be able to go back.

They feared that the company would be taken advantage of by malicious individuals.

He didn't reply to Huo Qijun's message for the time being. He looked at the announcement again. The announcement didn't specify who would take over, only that it would be announced in a few days.

How did my father find a trustworthy successor in such a short time?

If this person has strong management skills and is reliable, he is willing to step down.

His appearance during a period of strained relations with his father forced him to question the latter's intentions.

Han Huimin hadn't hung up the phone yet, and not getting a response from Fu Zhengting made him even more curious and worried. "Mr. Fu, please say something."

"Mr. Han, thank you for your concern, I'm fine," Fu Zhengting replied.

"President Fu, why are you being so polite with me? What kind of relationship do we have? If I don't care about you, who will?" Han Huimin joked.

He knew that Fu Zhengting and Fu Zhenlong did not have a good relationship, and he could roughly guess the situation.

Although I really wanted to know the specific reason, I refrained from asking.

I don't want to upset Fu Zhengting when he's already in a bad mood.

Fu Zhengting tugged at the corners of his mouth, a touch of warmth in his heart.

No one is perfect. Although Han Huimin's private life is not good, he is generous and righteous, and a very strong optimist. As long as he is not a bad person, he is worth getting along with.

He remembered everyone's concern for him.

"President Fu, just remember, even if you're dismissed and no longer the president of Fu's Group, I'll still be your closest friend in business. If you don't mind, come work for Han's Group. I'll arrange whatever position you want..." Han Huimin said with great magnanimity. As he spoke, he couldn't help but joke to make Fu Zhengting happy, "Even if you want my chairman's position, I can give it to you."

Fu Zhengting actually laughed, then sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

He also joked, "Aren't you afraid your youngest son will be jealous?"

"That kid wouldn't be jealous!" Han Huimin said, sounding both helpless and a little hurt.

Recalling his youngest son's usual indifferent attitude towards him, he sighed, "That kid doesn't even treat me like his dad."

Han Qikai had just come out of his room and was passing through the living room when he overheard Han Huimin and Fu Zhengting's conversation.

They hid behind the water dispenser.

When he heard Han Huimin say that he didn't treat him like a father, he gave a silent, cold laugh.

He felt ashamed to have a father like that.

That's not the point right now.

The focus is on Fu Zhengting.

I don't know what happened to Fu Zhengting, but his father said these words.

Why was he dismissed from his post for no reason?

He felt it was very likely related to his relationship with Mu Tiantian.

Fu Zhengting's father or family members definitely do not support his relationship with Mu Tiantian.

That's why he was dismissed!

Thinking of this, his gloomy eyes regained their light.

He felt hopeful again.

After losing to Fu Zhengting at the martial arts gym last night, he went home and was so depressed that he couldn't sleep all night.

He slammed his fist on the table until the back of his hand was red, swollen, and bleeding, but the frustration in his heart still couldn't be dispelled.

He was so filled with remorse that he even wanted to cut off his own hand.

He thought there was no possibility for him and Mu Tiantian anymore, but now that he knows about Fu Zhengting's situation, he feels that he can still try to steal Fu Zhengting's girlfriend.

He pricked up his ears, ready to listen further, when Han Huimin stood up, twisted his stiff neck, and saw him.

He felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

But he remained indifferent.

Han Huimin couldn't help but laugh when he saw his youngest son huddled in the corner eavesdropping.

He was genuinely curious about whether his son would be jealous of Fu Zhengting.

Fu Zhengting is only three years older than his eldest son. He was 23 when his eldest son was born, so to him, Fu Zhengting is not only a friend in the business world, but also someone he can treat as a son.

Although he says he doesn't care whether his younger son loves him as his father, he still wants to see his younger son jealous.

Jealousy means that the younger son loves him.

Of his three sons, his youngest son is the one whose personality is most like his own. If his youngest son were to take over the company, he would definitely give him the position of heir.

He cleared his throat and deliberately spoke to Fu Zhengting on the other end of the phone in a loving and gentle tone, like a loving father, "President Fu, in short, no matter what happens to you, I will support you unconditionally. As long as you want to work at Han's, you can come anytime, and I will definitely arrange the best position for you."

Such heartwarming words again.

Fu Zhengting was moved once again.

However, Han Huimin's tone was different from usual, and it felt a bit deliberate.

He felt a little awkward listening to this and couldn't help but joke, "President Han, I'm very touched by your support, but your voice is giving me goosebumps..."

Han Huimin couldn't help but laugh out loud after Fu Zhengting teased him like that.

But fearing his youngest son would see through his little scheme, he clenched his fist and put it to his lips to suppress a laugh, emphasizing earnestly, "President Fu, I'm serious. The doors of the Han Group will always be open for you."

Although she deliberately wanted to make her youngest son jealous, she genuinely wanted Fu Zhengting to work at Han's company.

He and Fu Zhengting share the same business philosophy, and he greatly admires Fu Zhengting's management skills.

Fu Zhengting suppressed his smile and replied seriously, "Since President Han is so welcoming, I will consider working at President Han's company if I really have no other choice."

Mu Tiantian was also woken up by the urge to urinate and wanted to go to the bathroom. She woke up groggily and heard Fu Zhengting say these words...
