WAF CH68

by DewdropTL — A few days later, another utterly shocking event erupted across the internet. Li Zhiyong, the CEO of Weilai, had been taken away by the authorities. In truth, back in mid-December, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang had already caught wind of rumors that he was "taken away." At first, the entire industry paid little mind to it—after all, he was the head of Weilai and had been investigated for two weeks by the Ministry of Public Security several years prior over multiple charges, only to walk away unscathed…

by DewdropTL — Thinking back on it afterward, it was a sheer stroke of luck that the two of them were driving that reinforced Maybach that day. When the two vehicles collided, Jing Hong felt the world spin and tilt violently before his eyes. His body defied inertia as the airbags deployed all at once. But once he calmed down a bit, he realized he seemed to be largely unharmed, free of any serious injury. He immediately turned to look at Zhou Chang, only to find Zhou Chang struggling to open his eyes as well, trying…

by DewdropTL — For the next while, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang maintained a pattern of "competing by day and..." by night. Occasionally, when he lost, Jing Hong wouldn't feel much like acknowledging Zhou Chang in the office during the day. Yet at night, the moment he set eyes on him, he would inevitably be deeply captivated by the man all over again. In July, Fanhai and Qinghui fought another round. First, Qinghui won against Fanhai. This time, both Fanhai and Qinghui wanted to invest in a mid-sized company…

by DewdropTL — By August, Qinghui initiated a lawsuit against Fanhai over several matters. Fascinatingly, the amount Qinghui claimed in damages was 5.2 million yuan. Fanhai immediately launched a fierce counterattack, accusing Qinghui of playing the thief crying "stop thief" and filing a counterclaim. Their requested damages were likewise 5.2 million yuan—except this time, they tacked on a tiny addition: 5,200,131.4 yuan. When the news broke, netizen onlookers blew up online again: 【IceCreamScoopDropped:…

by DewdropTL — The next day, Jing Hong returned to Beijing. He didn't even drop by home, heading straight to Fanhai's office with his luggage, tossing the bags onto his "Feichi" carriage. However, Jing Hong left just past six o'clock that evening—he missed that man a little. They had agreed during the day that neither would work late tonight, bringing their laptops home instead. When he arrived home and set eyes on Zhou Chang, Jing Hong actually froze for a moment. Zhou Chang was wearing a free t-shirt from…

by DewdropTL — The following day, Jing Hong made a discreet trip to Germany. Feichi Auto, an EV manufacturer backed by Fanhai, was set to challenge the production-EV lap record on a famous circuit. The track had once hosted F1 races, but due to its inherently dangerous nature—frequent accidents earned it the nickname "Green Hell"—and a length exceeding 20 kilometers, it was eventually removed from the F1 calendar, with Formula 1 relocating to an adjacent circuit. Nevertheless, with its sprawling distance and an…

by DewdropTL — At the exact same time Fanhai was being shorted by major institutions, Jing Tianping’s "Tianping Supermarket" was truly divorcing itself from Fanhai. Fanhai first acquired Xianglong Live from Qinghui. Afterwards, because Jing Bo resolutely opposed the merger agreement with Xianglong, Jing Hong had no choice but to liquidate his shares in Wujie during a new round of financing—completely "abandoning" Wujie to foster Xianglong instead, just as he had discussed back then. Jing Bo’s choice was not…

by DewdropTL — Due to continuous pressure and payment demands from major banks and suppliers, Tianping's cash flow became increasingly strained. Meanwhile, progress on several construction sites had been delayed to the point of being completely unsustainable. Although foundational work like the primary infrastructure utility connections ("three connections") had already been completed, every single day lost at the construction sites consumed capital like water; if this continued, the financial shortfall would only grow…

by DewdropTL — A few days later, the China Internet Association put together a trendy event—organizing CEOs for a "Gobi Desert Trek." Over recent years, this concept had become absurdly popular among Chinese business circles. Associations of every kind were putting together "Gobi Treks" for entrepreneurs, and major corporations followed suit for their executives. Scores of celebrities raved endlessly about their trekking experiences in speeches and media interviews, making it sound as though a single "challenge" like…

by DewdropTL — Hearing the phrase "forgot to respect yourself," Jing Hong was just about to say something when Peng Zheng knocked on the door. Since a yurt couldn't produce a proper knock, Peng Zheng voiced it aloud: "Knock, knock, knock! President Jing, Xiao Guan brought a deck of cards. Do you want to play?" Under normal circumstances, Jing Hong would have definitely declined. But Peng Zheng's arrival was impeccably timed. Jing Hong stood up immediately and said, "Sure. What are we playing?" The "Xiao Guan" Peng…
