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 — That evening, when Jing Hong returned "home," Zhou Chang was already waiting for him. For some inexplicable reason, the moment Jing Hong laid eyes on Zhou Chang, his heart settled a fraction more. Perhaps it was because the man was his lover; perhaps it was because, amidst the storm of recent events, they found themselves allies once again. When Zhou Chang opened the door, Jing Hong did not enter right away. He simply stood at the threshold, looking up at Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang was in no rush…

by DewdropTL — A few days after the annual gala, the external landscape suddenly underwent a dramatic shift. The trade war between China and the United States escalated once again, plunging tariff negotiations into a complete deadlock. At the same time, the President of the United States signed an executive order, declaring that several Chinese mobile applications—by virtue of possessing vast quantities of data—posed an absolute threat to U.S. national security. Effective after 45 days, any U.S. individual or…

by DewdropTL — A few days later, Fanhai's annual gala arrived quietly. Early in the morning, Fanhai Group distributed New Year gift boxes one by one to its employees. The contents inside were nothing short of luxurious—a plush doll, a monthly calendar, a neck massager, a smart jump rope, an air fryer, and a healthy snack gift pack, covering every imaginable aspect. In addition, inside the gift box was a handwritten "family letter" from Jing Hong—expressing gratitude to Fanhai's employees and their family…

by DewdropTL — For a period of time after this, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang continued to live a rather split life between day and night. Once, the two of them attended a roundtable discussion at a forum together. Jing Hong was accompanied by several people, including Zhao Hanqing, and Zhou Chang's side was much the same. Before the session began, Jing Hong waited in the lounge. Seeing that there was still a bit of time left, he wanted to place a brief call to a certain Fanhai executive. Zhao Hanqing happened to…

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 — 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 — 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 — Four days later, Zhou Chang returned to Beijing from Guangzhou. This business trip had lasted a total of five days—a considerably long time for him. After landing, Zhou Chang went straight to Qinghui Headquarters first, listening to dozens of reports, signing dozens of documents, and approving dozens of work initiatives. By the time he arrived home, it was already extremely late. Yet, his heart was fluttering with anticipation. This kind of longing was something he had never experienced in…

by DewdropTL — Two weeks after drafting the agreement, the various parties involved in the Kunpeng-Huawei merger officially signed the paperwork. Except for the CEO position, Jing Hong was generally satisfied with this dual-party merger. The new post-merger company established an 11-member board of directors: the management team held five seats—including the former CEO of Kunpeng, the former CEO of Huawei, the CTOs (Chief Technology Officers) of both sides, and a CMO (Chief Marketing Officer)—financial investors…
