by DewdropTL — After returning from the AI Developer Conference, Jing Hong’s attention was once again drawn to "Xindong Media." He and Zhao Hanqing analyzed Qinghui's true underlying motive once more, but they were still entirely at a loss. Because of Zhou Chang's forceful intervention in the Xindong Media acquisition, Jing Hong felt a considerable amount of pressure. He consistently felt a sense of unease. Perhaps precisely because the pressure was somewhat heavy, over the next few days, the frequency with…

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 — Zhou Chang didn't say any more, as the bride and groom had already stepped in front of the pastor, who began reciting a long passage that Jing Hong couldn't hear clearly from where he stood. Next came the couple exchanging their vows following the pastor's lead. They turned around, facing each other, holding hands, and gazing into each other's eyes. Only then could Jing Hong clearly see what the newlyweds looked like. The man was handsome and the woman beautiful—a match made in…

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 — A few days later, quite suddenly, Fanhai modified its offer once again. This time, in addition to matching Qinghui's bid, Fanhai Group made a rather abnormal move—changing its conditional takeover bid into an unconditional takeover bid. Previously, Fanhai's offer contained a closing condition of "acquiring at least 50%+1 of the voting rights," which was also the usual form for takeover bids. For an acquirer seeking control, obtaining at least 50% of the voting rights was a must, because nominating a…

by DewdropTL — In that evening’s conference call, Jing Hong responded to the current crisis on behalf of Fanhai Group to major brokerage firms. First, Jing Hong took a firm stance, much like his father, Jing Haiping. He stated that Fanhai and Qinghui were engaged in benign competition and that blocking external links was solely done to protect users. Since Fanhai Group could not guarantee the content of those external videos, restricting links was a risk-averse strategy. He noted that Qinghui’s products had always…

by DewdropTL — With Fanhai powerless to reverse the situations regarding Xindong Media and Feichi Motors, Jing Hong naturally put them out of his mind. A few days later, Jing Hong had to travel to Chongqing to attend a highly important event—the China International Intelligent Industry Expo, commonly known as the "Smart China Expo." The Smart China Expo was jointly hosted by over a dozen ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform…

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 — Facing Zhou Chang's invitation, Jing Hong's chest heaved violently as he said, "Alright." Zhou Chang gave him a deep look, turned, and led the way. The sounds of music, chatter, and crashing waves drew closer once more as they returned to the dock. A fiery tune struck up, and the crowd grew lively again. Ladies twirled and spun, their red or yellow dresses fluttering in the sea breeze—so captivating to behold. Yet Jing Hong and Zhou Chang didn't tarry for a second, walking straight past the…

WAF CH66

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…
