by DewdropTL — After watching for a while, Zhou Chang entered through the back door of the venue. Once again, he leaned somewhat lazily against the wooden wall paneling at the very back of the room, gazing at Jing Hong on the stage in the distance. As the speech was drawing to a close, Jing Hong’s assistant, Tan Qian, walked up to Zhou Chang with a phone in hand and politely greeted, "Mr. Zhou." Zhou Chang shifted his gaze from Jing Hong on the stage to Tan Qian beside him, letting out a casual syllable:…

by DewdropTL — In January, the weather turned chilly. Some time had passed since that bitter parting with Zhou Chang. Jing Hong forced himself to stop recalling that night—and even that name—though, as the CEO of Fanhai, that was naturally impossible. Fortunately, Jing Hong was still able to remain professional. On this day, Jing Hong first addressed a few business-related issues. The "AI Loan" product had already been launched into the financial market, but the market response fell short of…

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 — That evening, Jing Hong met the founder of a startup company at the Zhili Club near Peking University. Accompanying him were several people, including Zhao Hanqing. The theme was once again a plea to "get together"—Jing Hong hoped that Fanhai would invest in the other party's company. The Zhili Club served Baoding cuisine; the flavor was mediocre, yet the prices were by no means cheap. After finishing their conversation, Jing Hong bade farewell to the founder, and they walked out together.…

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 — Because the evidence was genuinely insufficient, the matter of the virus simply faded into nothingness. Chief Zheng merely invited Zhou Chang over for a simple chat, stating that they had received a report but the Network Security Division had already suppressed it. He advised Qinghui to take note in the future—to correct mistakes if any were made and strive further if none were—and with that, the issue was put to rest. The day after the dust settled, Zhou Chang sent a message to Jing Hong’s…

by DewdropTL — After arriving at the hotel, Jing Hong realized that neither he nor Zhou Chang had chosen the official hotel. Instead, by coincidence, they had both checked into a different one. The hotel they selected was located at the intersection of the two rivers, boasting an exceptional view. It had only two luxury suites, both on the top floor; Fanhai and Qinghui had each booked one, so their suites were right next to each other. After sleeping a night at the hotel, Jing Hong left early the next morning to…

by DewdropTL — A few days later, the Spring Festival arrived. Jing Hong worked straight through until six o’clock on the evening of New Year’s Eve before personally driving a Mercedes to Jing Haiping’s place to celebrate the New Year. The driver had long since returned to his hometown for the holidays. Jing Hong’s grandparents on his father’s side had passed away over a decade ago, while his maternal grandparents and uncles lived in a small city abroad. Jing Hong’s immediate family gathered with his…

by DewdropTL — Throughout the entire morning after parting ways, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang were separated. Zhou Chang attended a sub-forum on cloud computing, while Jing Hong attended another. They met again when having lunch in the hotel restaurant. This time, each brought several subordinates and sat at separate tables. They only glanced at each other from a distance, neither greeting the other. The hotel served Western food for lunch. Zhou Chang realized that during the meal, his gaze unconsciously drifted…

by DewdropTL — After that, Fanhai and Qinghui enjoyed a fairly long period of peaceful coexistence, until one day when Zhao Hanqing, the head of Fanhai's investment department, came to seek Jing Hong's guidance once again. "President Jing," Zhao Hanqing asked, "are you familiar with a company called Saint Games?" Jing Hong nodded. "I am." Saint Games was one of the most prestigious gaming companies in the world after the year 2000. Headquartered in San Diego, California, it had gone public on NASDAQ several…
