Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Although the largest company in Nandi is now the Dijing Group, Yuan Gang's Jiang Group is an old-established enterprise that has undergone several restructurings and name changes.

The divorce of Li Jingchen and Jiang Tong, coupled with the negative public opinion surrounding Dijing, will undoubtedly lead to a serious financing crisis...

No matter how well the Imperial View Group develops, it is impossible for it to dominate the market. Competition between companies will inevitably lead to some who don't like each other, and Li Jingchen is now surrounded by enemies.

A phone call was made to Li Jingchen.

Li Jingchen had anticipated that this person would call him.

The other party was Tian Fuqiang, who succeeded Zhu Jianbin and was also Song Chenggong's arch-rival.

Tian Fuqiang arranged to meet Li Jingchen at a very secluded teahouse in the evening.

"President Li, if I remember correctly, this is our third meeting."

"It seems that Director Tian's memory isn't very good; this is the fourth time."

"Oh?" Tian Fuqiang raised an eyebrow slightly.

After the waiter who was sifting tea left, Li Jingchen finally spoke.

"When I returned to Nandi that year, I met Director Tian for the first time at the Phoenix Capital Hotel. We had a meal together and discussed the relocation of my company headquarters. You said you welcomed me back to Nandi to attract investment."

"The second time, my wife's grandparents' feud involved Zhu Jianbin. I treated you to a meal and drank two jugs of wine with you. A few days later, Zhu Jianbin stepped down, and you took over."

Tian Fuqiang nodded. "So this is the third time."

Where did this fourth time come from?

Li Jingchen suddenly smiled and said, "Seven years ago, at the Nandi Future New Industry Development Conference, many entrepreneurs were full of ambition and envisioned the future. You spoke on stage, and all the companies developed Nandi into a new technology city, boosting the GDP of the entire city."

Tian Fuqiang's expression changed slightly, as if he was thinking of what happened many years ago, and then he smiled.

He lit a cigarette and handed it to Li Jingchen.

"Time flies... Back then you were sitting in the audience, and now I'm the one sitting here watching you..."

"I wouldn't dare." Li Jingchen accepted the cigarette without batting an eye. His long fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and the ash fell. The bluish-white circles under his eyes blurred the contours of his handsome and deep-set face, and even the coldness in the corners of his eyes disappeared without a trace.

"I am just a small businessman, like the bosses of the Industrial New Association back then, with some ambitions and ideals. I'm just lucky to make more money than others."

Tian Fuqiang laughed heartily.

"President Li is joking. Putting everything else aside, the fact that you've weathered so many regulatory storms is like this lucky bamboo on the table. Even if I were to burn it with a cigarette butt right now, it would still rise up no matter what. President Li's development has been too smooth. I don't believe it could be without the help of a benefactor."

Li Jingchen curled his lips into a smile, speaking calmly and deliberately, "Director Tian's anger has already set me on fire, so let's be frank and speak plainly."

“If I had a benefactor to help me, how could I have ended up in such a passive situation? You wouldn’t be seeing me today.”

"Haha." Tian Fuqiang poured tea for Li Jingchen. "President Li, I've always thought you were a smart and sensible person, so I won't beat around the bush."

"The person who has been holding you back in your new project is actually Song Chenggong."

Li Jingchen raised his head slightly.

Tian Fuqiang said, "If you want, I can help you take revenge on Song Chenggong. At that time, your current crisis may be resolved."

Li Jingchen's eyes were deep, and he had already realized what was happening.

What's this old man up to?

"How does Director Tian plan to help me?"

Tian Fuqiang mentioned Li Qinghe, Li Jingchen's cousin. She could easily get Song Chenggong investigated with just a few simple moves. So, how could Li Jingchen not know what to do?

Then he would have a way to bring down Song Chenggong together.

Li Jingchen remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly unaware that Tian Fuqiang was unaware of Song Qingyi and Li Qinghe's divorce.

"What good will this do me?"

“I’ll help you bring down Song Chenggong, and then your new project will naturally be unobstructed.”

"This is probably not the biggest bargaining chip that Director Tian has."

Tian Fuqiang's expression changed, and Li Jingchen's expression also changed. They were no longer so respectful, and with sharp words coming from his mouth, the cigarette in his hand was completely extinguished.

"What you want to see is the process of my struggle with Song Chenggong, which will inevitably involve all the people connected to Song Chenggong. Then, in the midst of this chaos, you can reap the benefits."

Tian Fuqiang couldn't help but sigh, "President Li, it's no accident that you got to this position. I don't want to make things difficult for you. Actually, I've always admired you. If you had been my secretary from the beginning, I promise I wouldn't have treated you badly."

"Too bad, I have no interest in palace intrigues, nor in getting involved in your mess."

Tian Fuqiang said grimly, "Believe it or not, I can shut your company down completely tomorrow just for saying that."

"You, in your high position of power, are arguing with a businessman like me. It seems I have a very bright future ahead of me."

“Li Jingchen,” Tian Fuqiang was already annoyed.

"You're not the kind of person who'll refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. People who don't stand in the right line are like insects; they'll get trampled to death."

Li Jingchen narrowed his deep eyes slightly. "Do you know who the real parasite is?"

Tian Fuqiang's gaze fell on the hard drive he had pulled out.

"With just a flick of my finger, a folder will be sent directly to the inspection team's internal email address. I'm absolutely certain that sending this file will attract people."

"You!" Tian Fuqiang stood up abruptly. "Li Jingchen, Li Jingchen, why do you have to go against me? You're already surrounded by enemies, and you're still refusing to listen to reason and asking for trouble."

"Director Tian is right. I'm already in this situation, so I don't care if it gets worse."

His humble yet assertive attitude infuriated Tian Fuqiang.

"I hope you can get out of danger."

Li Jingchen watched the old man's departing figure.

He had lost his appetite for tea.

The night has darkened.

In the office of the Dijing Group, Li Jingchen leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, listening to the negative news about the Dijing Group playing on his phone.

The local media has been manipulated.

Regarding allegations that Dijin Group has engaged in data fraud, frequent safety hazards in its innovative projects, and that the chairman and founder of Dijin Group has a chaotic private life, including keeping mistresses and seeking women abroad…

Whether it's major events or his private life, a deluge of negative information has followed one after another.

The company has never faced such a crisis before. Even in the past, when there were crises, we would weather one storm after another. Now, it's one crisis after another.

Skyscrapers stand tall...

Outside is the city's beautiful night view.

He resolutely returned to the Southern Emperor and moved the headquarters of Emperor's View here, because of one person, because of this city, because there were many people and things he cared about here...
