NOVEL WEB Chapter 30: Chapter 30: How Could He Possibly Be Awake?
Zhao Han, furious, said, "Do you know how important reputation is to our company?"
"Now, because of what you've done, do you have any idea how much money our company could lose?"
Li Yan hadn't anticipated that the matter would affect the company.
She was still being defiant.
"Even if Hao is at fault, there are laws to judge him. What are those netizens you speak of? They are just a bunch of keyboard warriors. What right do they have to say my son is wrong?"
"You should blame that kid himself for not being physically strong. I've already searched it up online; he is that so-called 'fragile college student'!"
"His health was already poor. Becoming a vegetable could very well be his own fault. How could it possibly be related to our Hao?"
Hearing what Li Yan said, Zhao Han's face turned pale.
"What did you just say? That young man has become a vegetable?"
Zhao Han felt like he had sunk into an ice cave.
Everything was over now.
On the way here, Zhao Han also searched up Wu Bin's identity.
That search had numbed him.
'Fragile college student', a recent popular figure at the Agricultural University, already had over three hundred thousand followers, and his popularity was still rising!
In this era where traffic is king, having three hundred thousand followers meant a lot, and Zhao Han understood that all too well.
If this matter was not handled well, he and his company might have to brace themselves for dominating the trending topics list.
Thinking about how the company's stock price might plummet off a cliff tomorrow, Zhao Han kicked Zhao Hao, knocking him to the ground!
"I'll kill you, you good-for-nothing! Why did I even father such a troublemaker!"
Li Yan tried to intervene, but ended up being slapped twice herself.
Seeing how agitated Zhao Han was, He Bingbing couldn't help but look towards Li Guotai and Xu Wenyao.
"Director Li, Principal Xu, you know him. Aren't you going to step in?"
Zhao Han was being too harsh, and He Bingbing was worried that if they didn't intervene, Zhao Hao might end up in the hospital too.
Xu Wenyao shook his head.
"He's in a state of extreme anger right now. Even a dog that goes over there would get slapped, so how can I dare to intervene?"
Li Guotai was even more direct.
"Let him beat him. If he breaks, I can treat him."
Hearing their responses, the netizens in the live broadcast started laughing.
"Even a dog would get slapped, Principal Xu really is a cultured man, that's hilarious."
"Guys, I don't quite understand why Zhao Hao's father is so agitated. Isn't it just a kids' quarrel?"
"Above, do you know about the BMW ice cream incident? It was just about not sharing an ice cream, and guess how many billions BMW lost overnight?"
"Listed companies care most about reputation and brand image. It's hard to put a price on this stuff—you say it's valuable, but it's hard to estimate its worth. You say it's worthless, but once the brand is tarnished, the losses are immeasurable."
"So business people have always adhered to the principle of 'harmony brings wealth,' a wisdom passed down by our ancestors. Did you think they were just playing around?"
"It's thanks to us netizens after all for completely exposing Zhao Hao's dad, making him so agitated."
"Can he not be agitated? If it hits the trending topics tonight, their company's stock price will dive immediately. Once the stock price plunges, as the CEO, he'll have to jump off a building."
Zhao Han beat Zhao Hao for a full ten minutes, his fists bleeding from the force.
Zhao Hao was in an even worse state, beaten to a pulp, looking like a mess.
Li Yan did try to stop it a few times but ended up getting slapped each time.
As it turned out, Xu Wenyao was right; in such a situation, whoever tried to intervene would end up getting beaten.
Zhao Han pointed at the door to Wu Bin's hospital room and said, "Go kneel over there! You are not allowed to stand up until Wu Bin wakes up!"
Zhao Hao didn't dare to defy Zhao Han's orders, so he obediently rolled over and knelt down.
Looking at the formerly arrogant rich second generation now in such a miserable state, all the netizens felt a great relief!
Thought you were tough?
Thought you were rich?
In the face of life, what use is your money? You still have to kneel down honestly!
As a businessman, Zhao Han had already noticed the camera over here.
Knowing that He Bingbing and the others were live streaming, that's why Zhao Han had severely beaten Zhao Hao in front of so many people earlier.
Seeing that the timing was about right, Zhao Han walked up to He Bingbing, feigned surprise, and said, "Are you Miss He? Are you guys live streaming?"
Even though she knew Zhao Han was acting, He Bingbing still had to play along.
There's no choice, the adult world is just like that.
You can't just straight-up tell him to stop pretending, knowing that he is just acting, right?
Zhao Han, facing the camera, deliberately made a grief-stricken expression.
"I have failed in my way of raising my child, letting everyone see a joke."
"Speaking of which, I am also responsible for this matter. I started from scratch, always working outside, spending little time with Zhao Hao. I neglected his education, which led to his spoiled character and resulted in today's tragedy."
"But please rest assured, I, Zhao Han, am a responsible person! If we have done wrong, then we must change!"
"Please give us a chance to make amends, and stop giving our flagship store bad reviews! After all, the company I run doesn't just belong to me alone; we have hundreds of employees counting on me for their meals."
"I hope everyone will show mercy and let us off."
Well, there you have it, showing your true colors.
Although everyone knew that Zhao Han's beating of Zhao Hao was for this purpose,
most of the netizens still chose to forgive.
After all, Zhao Han had truly beat him up just now, and right now, Zhao Hao was indeed genuinely kneeling at Wu Bin's door.
In terms of sincerity, the actions taken by Zhao Han were impeccable.
The netizens also sighed in response.
"Actually, Zhao Hao's dad is not a bad person."
"Yes, businessmen who can start from scratch nowadays are not common. He is always running around outside, definitely neglecting his son's education."
"There's an old saying, 'A lenient mother makes for a failed child,' and you can tell from looking at Zhao Hao's mom. I think the main reason why Zhao Hao turned out this way is mostly because of his mother's indulgence."
"You say that, but isn't a lenient father just as bad as a lenient mother? No matter who, one shouldn't spoil their child."
"Sigh, it's bad for both parties. Wu Bin has become a vegetative state, and Zhao Hao's family is now suffering from online bullying. No one got the better end of the stick."
As the netizens were sighing, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened.
A nurse ran out in a hurry.
"Director, Wu Bin is awake!"
Upon hearing the nurse, everyone's spirits were lifted!
Especially the old professor, who looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"He's awake? How is that possible, he shouldn't be waking up so soon!"
Li Guotai smiled slightly.
"Old professor, you still don't understand, Wu Bin's physical condition is extremely strong."
The old professor puffed up his beard and glared.
"What does physical condition have to do with anything! The effects of the anesthesia should still be in place, how could he wake up?"
Li Guotai: ...
Netizens: ...
My brother Wu Bin's body is just awesome!
