            <description><![CDATA[Mid-2023, four years into their relationship. This time, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang hadn’t seen each other for an entire month.

            <description><![CDATA[On a certain day in July 2022, a financial journalist who knew Jing Hong reached out to him and his father. He mentioned that he wanted to write a book—a biography—about the 25-year history of Fanhai Group&#8217;s development. His plan was to spend several years writing a series titled The Rise and Fall of Chinese Internet Companies, with Fanhai as the first volume, covering…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[During the first year Jing Hong and Zhou Chang took charge of Fanhai and Qinghui respectively—before the Kunpeng and Huawei merger—the two had run into each other several times at various IT summits. At a summit in the United States, they heard each other give a full keynote speech for the first time. On that occasion, only three entrepreneurs present had come from Mainland…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Another week later, just before the Spring Festival, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang were scheduled to attend a high-spec IT summit. Within that very week, the President of the United States signed yet another executive order targeting Chinese enterprises, adding eight more software applications to the &#8220;blacklist&#8221;—including office suites, document scanning tools, photo editing software, video downloaders, video editing tools, and more. Overnight, a…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In the two weeks that followed, Weilai’s executive suite underwent further upheaval. Li Zhiyong officially resigned, leaving the CTO to pick up the pieces—a man who had essentially served as acting chairman and acting CEO for the preceding two months. He had previously been the CEO of a star startup acquired by Weilai, after which he joined the tech giant. Word had it that…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Thinking back on it afterward, it was a sheer stroke of luck that the two of them were driving that reinforced Maybach that day. When the two vehicles collided, Jing Hong felt the world spin and tilt violently before his eyes. His body defied inertia as the airbags deployed all at once. But once he calmed down a bit, he realized he seemed to…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;taken away.&#8221; At first, the entire industry paid little mind to it—after all, he was the head of Weilai and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[That evening, when Jing Hong returned &#8220;home,&#8221; 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,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[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…]]></description>
