by DewdropTL — With the Saint Games matter settled, Jing Hong gave himself a short three-to-four-day break. Ever since he took over the reins of the empire, Jing Hong had never taken a vacation. There was simply too much work. Jing Hong had his assistant, Tan Qian, book an island in the Maldives to unwind. The resort was opened a few years ago by LVMH, and Jing Hong had never been there before. It was said to have exceptional ocean views, facilities, food, and service, making it ideal for a vacation. Most…

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 — Just as Jing Hong had anticipated, the progress of the Med-Ferry acquisition was indeed not smooth sailing. Fanhai and Qinghui revised their offers several times, raising the bidding price repeatedly. Then, just as Med-Ferry’s board of directors was gradually leaning toward Fanhai Group, Qinghui suddenly hiked their offer price by 12.5%. Med-Ferry was instantly stunned by the massive bid. Originally, because Fanhai had pledged "no split" and "no restructuring" while Qinghui had refused to do so,…

WAF CH43

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…

WAF CH75: Extra

by DewdropTL — Mid-2023, four years into their relationship. This time, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang hadn’t seen each other for an entire month.

Thus, a whole month went by without a single face-to-face meeting. By the time Jing Hong returned, their longing for each other had reached its peak. They had been "together" for four years, yet to the two…

WAF CH22

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 — Fanhai Group Holdings Limited. The General Manager's Office. Jing Hong sat behind his executive desk, holding this week’s one-on-one meeting with Zhao Hanqing, the General Manager of Fanhai Group’s Investment Department. Jing Hong was thirty-two years old this year. His eyes were somewhat phoenix-like—slightly narrow and elongated, with smooth, subtly upturned corners and narrow double eyelids. His irises were somewhat light in color and positioned slightly high, their lower edges just…

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…
