WAF CH53

by DewdropTL — A few days after returning to Beijing, Jing Hong attended a high-profile charity gala. The host was a foundation initiated and established by prominent entrepreneurs, with the mission of providing social assistance and promoting philanthropic development. Both Jing Haiping and Zhou Buqun served as directors on its board. While the outside world rarely heard of this "Ai Hua" Charity Gala, the donations raised each year amounted to hundreds of millions of yuan—a hundred times more than those galas…

by DewdropTL — Back at the banquet, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang were once again separated by Fat Peng, sharing minimal interaction between them. The charity gala concluded right on time at 11:00 PM. Jing Hong still had plenty of work to deal with and several meetings to attend, as did Zhou Chang. Their drivers, highly professional, arrived from the lounge to collect them. Jing Hong and Zhou Chang parted ways with everyone at their table with polite social pleasantries. Finally, they exchanged a subtle, veiled glance,…

by DewdropTL — When the near-suffocating kiss finally came to an end, Jing Hong felt as though his tongue and lips had gone completely numb. He held a hand over his lips, but Zhou Chang somewhat firmly pulled his hand down again, revealing two bright red, thoroughly kissed lips. Zhou Chang himself was hardly in better shape; catching his breath slightly, he remarked, "President Jing, I'm afraid those Taekwondo lessons of yours were for nothing." "Zhou Chang," Jing Hong warned, "there's a limit to how far you can…

by DewdropTL — After returning to Beijing from Hungary, the fierce rivalry between Fanhai and Qinghui raged on. Regarding a certain group-buying product, Jing Hong suddenly shifted his strategy: Fanhai announced it would abandon the traditional, ubiquitous "Spend X, Get Y Off" model in favor of a cash-back approach. For instance, a coupon that previously offered "¥20 off on orders over ¥200" became "Spend ¥200, Get ¥20 Cash Back" on the new platform. Merchants could process it with a single click, and a portion of…

by DewdropTL — On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Jing Hong made an appointment to have dinner with his eldest uncle to talk things over, and his uncle reserved a room at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant enjoyed a solid reputation. Inside, it was filled with expertly crafted artificial cherry blossom trees—though the petals were remarkably lifelike. Small private dining rooms were arranged on both sides of the corridor, their ceilings left open so diners inside could look up at the "cherry blossoms." The…

by DewdropTL — It was 8:30 PM. After wrapping up his final video conference of the evening with a partner, Jing Hong checked his watch and knew it was time to head out. His appointment with Zhou Chang was set for nine o'clock. Since he was going over to Zhou Chang’s place tonight, Jing Hong didn't bother having his driver wait, planning instead to drive himself over. Closing his laptop, Jing Hong stood up and tidied his desk. Finally, he picked up his keys and phone, illuminating the screen as he walked, only to…

by DewdropTL — Over the next few weeks, Jing Hong spoke with Jing Tianping twice more—once on Jing Hong's initiative, and the other on Jing Tianping's—yet they still failed to reach an agreement. The occasion Jing Hong initiated was a round of golf at an upscale club, but they didn't come to terms on business. Instead, a college senior nearby recognized Jing Hong as a so-called "mogul" and actually handed over his resume. Jing Hong actually liked people who knew how to seize opportunities, so he had the company's…

WAF CH58

by DewdropTL — Finding Jing Hong's tie in the way, Zhou Chang untied it in a few quick motions, tossed it onto the cabinet, and passionately pressed his lips against Jing Hong's neck once more. Holding Jing Hong close, he kissed him while unbuttoning the top button of Jing Hong's shirt, pulling it open to expose his shoulder. He inhaled softly first before lightly pressing his lower lip against the skin, trailing from neck to shoulder, and back from shoulder to neck, repeating the motion over and over. Next, Zhou…

by DewdropTL — There is an old saying: "Before one wave subsides, another rises." There is another saying: "Blessings rarely come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly." Before the troublesome matter with Jing Tianping and "Wujie Live" could even be settled, Fanhai Group encountered yet another round of short selling on NASDAQ. The short sellers "borrowed" a massive amount of Fanhai Group shares to sell first, intending to buy them back at real-time market prices and return them after an expected sharp drop…

by DewdropTL — The very next day, Jing Hong bought a house right in Zhou Chang’s residential compound—money was the last thing he lacked, and he could buy whatever he pleased. Doing this was merely to throw people off the scent; after all, Jing Hong was driven home by Fanhai’s chauffeur every day. Jing Hong didn't want others to know about their secret relationship, and Zhou Chang felt the exact same way. This kind of relationship was simply too dangerous. The CEOs of two rival giant companies acting like…
