Hong Kong is in full swing

As the chairman of the group, faced with such a situation, Mr. Qiao could only accept his fate and look for possible rescue solutions.

On the one hand, he urgently launched the crisis public relations mechanism and tried his best to restore the damaged brand image; on the other hand, he had to put aside his previous condescending attitude and took the initiative to contact several important business partners, asking them to be magnanimous and let go of the problems caused by Qiao's breach of contract.

After a series of complex and difficult negotiations, he finally gained the understanding of several major partners and regained the opportunity to continue cooperation, thus ensuring that the products can be delivered on time to the long-awaited consumers in the next few months.

However, another problem soon followed: the huge production plan that needed to be implemented immediately, and the fact that most long-term partners were no longer reliable for their own interests, forced Mr. Qiao to turn his attention to his old friend, Tianhe Group, who had gradually become estranged due to various conflicts, for help and support.

At such a tense and sensitive moment, Lan Yu leaned calmly on his large office chair and slowly turned on the communication device in his hand, so that everyone around him could clearly hear the content of the next call - the voice belonged to a proud businessman who was once one of the best in the industry, but now was full of flattery.

This scene made everyone present smile knowingly.

"Did I hear something wrong?"

Miss Yi raised her lips slightly and asked sarcastically, "I remember that one of the reasons for the previous strained relationship between us was that Mr. Qiao felt that Tianhe's products were of substandard quality and had shoddy workmanship, preventing us from moving forward with our cooperation. How come they've suddenly taken a U-turn and are now hoping to continue providing high-quality raw materials to your company?"

The response from the other end of the line was somewhat awkward yet slightly flattering: "Hey, Mr. Yi, let's not talk about this. Ultimately, it's just the employees below who didn't understand the rules and messed up. Our core management has always respected and trusted you. I've always admired your approach and your character."

"If that's the case, why are you so reluctant to pay the money owed to our company?"

Ms. Lan Yu retorted coldly, obviously skeptical of the reasons just given by the other party, and even thought that his words were mixed with elements of changing the subject and covering up the truth.

Faced with this sudden question, Qiao Heng immediately promised to complete the transfer process in the shortest time possible, and pleaded with the company to arrange for relevant personnel to work overtime as soon as possible in consideration of their past cooperation to meet the extremely urgent needs of the current market and alleviate the huge difficulties faced by the company.

"Since you are asking for help from others, you must make corresponding concessions."

After receiving the confirmed news, Ms. Lan Yu agreed to accept the order but clearly stated a prerequisite: the full payment for the goods must be in place before discussing subsequent actions.

This request immediately made Mr. Qiao, who had been relieved to have found a savior, frown. Obviously, this regulation was far beyond his expectations and he found it difficult to accept. He could not help but complain loudly, accusing this move of being too harsh and unconventional and deliberately taking advantage of others' misfortune.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Ms. Yi replied calmly, her tone smooth. "After all, our small business is unlike the powerful conglomerates with strong backing. After experiencing betrayal, it's hard for anyone to trust others again. Perhaps tens of millions is just a trivial sum of money for Mr. Qiao, but for Tianhe, which is currently facing a financial crunch, it's a crucial supply. Only by ensuring the funds are actually received can we protect ourselves from further losses and damage, and therefore, we must stick to this method of transaction."

In fact, apart from seeking help from former rivals, almost no one is willing to lend a helping hand to help the desperate Qiao family out of the crisis at this critical juncture. The reason is that in order to compete for some major contract projects earlier, Mr. Qiao had used all means to snatch away many businesses from his peers, causing widespread complaints and leading to a sharp decline in the entire industry's evaluation of him. The passive situation he is in now is probably the result of a joint counterattack launched by those who have long held grudges, leaving him completely isolated and helpless, and in an unprecedented isolation.

Although I am very unwilling, the only way out of this predicament now is to rely on Tianhe.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay the unpaid portion of the previous payment along with the entire cost of this new project with both heartache and helplessness.

After the transfer was successful, Qiao Heng felt very aggrieved and angry as he watched the large amount of money flowing out of the account. He began to calculate the financial situation of his company and the cost of his personal investment, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

"It's so fucking unfair that I have to work for Tianhe!"

He cursed indignantly.

At the same time, after checking the account records, Yi Lanyu showed a satisfied smile. She sighed softly and said, "This is a great harvest."

Liu Hanyun sighed repeatedly, his heart full of hope, "This way we can have a good New Year this year."

Her voice was filled with joy and gratitude.

Yu Wan handed Yi Lanyu a list that listed the clients who had been fought over by Qiao Heng and his competitors.

“All of these are blacklisted.”

She said calmly but firmly.

Looking at the list, Yi Lanyu and Liu Hanyun exchanged a glance. The latter said with a hint of sarcasm, "This is also the result of standing on the shoulders of giants and picking up the missing pieces."

After saying this, Yu Wan stood up from her seat and stretched, expressing her beautiful vision for the future.

“The days are becoming more and more worth looking forward to.”

She smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with infinite anticipation for the future.

On New Year's Eve, after two consecutive days without any news from Huo Chuyan, Yu Wan came to the city of London alone.

At this time, the long street was covered with snow, looking particularly peaceful and beautiful.

As she looked at the target building that became increasingly clear, her steps couldn't help but hesitate.

I didn't tell the other party in advance that I was coming. Is it appropriate for me to show up suddenly without any warning?

The snow at my feet melted into small puddles, and then my cell phone vibrated. It was Huo Chuyan calling.

Yu Wan's heart suddenly tightened. She looked up into the distance and quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Huo."

A gentle voice came from the other end, "Well, are you awake?"

"woke up."

she replied.

He then said, "Then open the door and come in."

Hearing this, Yu Wan was a little confused, "Open the door? But I'm outside."

"Where are you?"

Huo Chuyan asked doubtfully.

"London..." she said awkwardly.

Huo Chuyan was silent for a while, "..."

Yu Wan realized something was wrong, "Mr. Huo, where are you now?"

"Hollywood."

"..."

The two were silent for a while, and the air seemed to become a little stagnant.
