Chapter 12 Daydream

“Dad, it’s not a dream, right?” Hank Shawn asked excitedly. Carl Shawn pretended to be calm. “Son, calm down. Though our family is now in decline, it used to be a well-known family in this city. The Group of Pinnacle is the new-raised, so they don’t dare to offend us. When we get in later, keep your attitude higher. Don’t let them look down on us.” “Well, dad, don’t worry.” Hanks nodded. Then the two swaggered into the manager’s office. In the office, Shane Lin was lying on the chair, without any attention to the two people who were getting in. Hank was confused. This was different from what he imagined. Shouldn’t Shane Lin stand up hurriedly and bow to them? Shane didn’t speak, which eventually made Carl feel something wrong. However, since they had come, they couldn’t go back without doing anything. “Mr. Lin, I’m Carl Shawn...” Carl greeted cautiously. “Fine,” Shane replied lightly. Carl’s face changed. Shane’s arrogant attitude made him frustrated, but he couldn’t say anything. People had to be humble when they asked for help, so Carl had to keep his attitude lower. “Mr. Lin, I’m here to talk about the Spring Hill project, so you...” “Do you have anything special in resort construction?” Shane interrupted Carl. Carl cheered up. As long as Shane spoke, the negotiation would be possible. “Mr. Lin, we have nine professional engineering teams with a variety of large construction equipment. Besides, we’re good at the business of real estate, and our workers are experienced. We built many famous buildings in City C...” Carl was so eloquent that he didn’t stop boasting their teams for almost ten minutes until he felt thirsty. Then Carl looked at Shane with confidence, thinking that his words should move Shane. But the scene he saw shocked him a lot. Shane Lin fell asleep on the chair! With snore! Carl’s eyes turned red. How could Shane treat him like that? Hank beside Carl was furious, as well. Usually, when people heard that he was from Shawn’s Family, they would respect him much, but today, Carl and he had been ignored many times! “Mr. Lin!” Carl deepened his voice. Though he was furious, he was not stupid. He didn’t dare to blame Shane, for what was behind Shane were Hans Shen and Chen’s Family, which could tread Shawn’s Family repeatedly on the ground. “Hum? What’s the matter?” Shane seemed to wake up from the dream, looking at the two confusedly. “No...nothing. I’ve said our specialties.” Carl restrained the anger and gave a signal to Hank. Hank got it, taking out a long sandalwood box from behind, and respectfully putting it in front of Shane. “Mr. Lin, my father, he heard that you like tea, so he specially bought this blue and a white porcelain tea set from the street selling antique. I hope you like it.” Shane glanced at Hank, then opened the box, a set of the blue and white tea set, crystal clear and bright, lying in the box. It was indeed an excellent tea set, though it was not the best blue glaze. It was worth more than one million. They had invested a lot. Shane sneered. “Mr. Lin...” Seeing Shane seem satisfied, Carl had the hope again. “Mr. Shane, I think you have missed a specialty of Shawn’s Family,” Shane said. “Ah?” Carl and Hank looked at each other, confused. Was there any more specialty Shawn’s Family had? “Mr. Lin, please make it clear,” Carl asked respectfully. “Making daydreams!” Shane sneered. “The daydreams Shawn’s Family made are all interesting.” Humiliation! An obvious humiliation! Carl and Hank’s faces suddenly twisted. It was not until now did they realized that Shane had been playing with them at the beginning! From the beginning, Shane had intended to humiliate them! Carl couldn’t control his anger. He asked with fury. “Mr. Lin, what have we done to offend you?” Carl was not stupid. He definitely found Shane’s intention now. He had doubted that why Shane, who refused to see hundreds of companies, wanted to see them. Now obviously, it was not because they were superior, but Shane intended to humiliate them. “Offend me? Do you think you have the ability to offend me?” Shane sneered, picking up the box on the desk and throwing it on Carl’s face. Carl screamed, covering his nose and stepping back. Crash! The tea set in the box dropped on the ground, smashed into pieces. “Son of a bitch!” Hank madly rushed to Shane like a furious lion. Shane sneered, kicking Hank to the ground. “Guards!” The bodyguards at the door heard the sound and came in. “Mr. Shane!” The bodyguards looked at Shane. “These two idiots intend to attack me. Let them know who’s the master here!” Shane ordered. Since Jones gave him the task last night, he wondered how to enrage Carl and Hank and make them attack him actively. Now, it seemed that Hank didn’t let him down. “Yes, Mr. Shane.” The bodyguards grinned ferociously and surrounded Carl and Hank. A few minutes later, Carl and Hank lay on the ground, beaten black and blue, breathing hard. “Take them out and tell those who are waiting at the door. No matter who wants to cooperate with the Group of Pinnacle, he must first break the relationship with Shawn’s Family. Otherwise, there is no way to talk about the cooperation!” Carl and Hank, lying on the ground, heard this, with fury and fear, fainting. The bodyguards carried them out and threw them out like the dead dogs. The people from other companies at the door were confused. Half an hour ago, didn’t Carl and Hank complacently went to talk about cooperation with Shane? How had they been thrown out after just a flash? They had been jealous before to Carl, thinking that Shawn’s Family would be the first company to cooperate with the Group of Pinnacle. But now, looking at the two’s miserable appearances, they took a deep breath. Fortunately, they weren’t themselves. The bodyguards loudly relayed Shane’s words again. As expected, the crowd suddenly became noisy. “Are the two so arrogant to attack Mr. Lin here?” “Hahaha, it’s funny. How could that old fox, Scott, send such two fools here?” “Shawn’s Family is over. Since Mr. Lin has said this, nobody will dare to cooperate with Shawn’s Family anymore.”
