After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

He picked up the phone and dialed Liu Qingyi's number again.

“Qingyi,” his voice was hoarse, tinged with weariness, yet still filled with determination, “I want to confirm the core technical details of the Radiant System with you again. We need to integrate the technology as soon as possible and strive to develop an alternative solution in the shortest possible time…”

A calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "I understand. I'll send you the relevant technical information right away. Ye Feng, remember, we can definitely overcome this crisis!"

A slight smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips. He knew he was not alone; he still had Liu Qingyi and the support of the entire team.

"Thank you, Qingyi." His voice was filled with gratitude and strength. "Let's fight together!"

He put down the phone, his eyes filled with determination and confidence.

He knew that the war had only just begun, but no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would not give up!

He will definitely lead the company out of its predicament and towards a more brilliant future!

Ye Feng hung up the phone with Liu Qingyi, rubbed his sore eyes, and felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him, which he forcefully suppressed. He knew that now was not the time to relax. The combined attack from the giants made him feel like he was walking on thin ice, and he had to be extremely cautious with every step.

Besides technological breakthroughs, he also needs to open up new battlefields to diversify risks and gain more room to survive.

He picked up his phone and dialed an international number. The jarring waiting tone seemed to drag on endlessly in the quiet office, mirroring his anxious state of mind.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, what's up so late?" A slightly hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of laziness, but it couldn't hide the shrewdness in his tone.

Ye Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Mr. Abdullah, I need your help." His voice was deep and firm, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

“Oh? What do you need my help with, Mr. Ye? You know my time is very valuable.” Abdullah’s tone was slightly amused.

"I'd like to discuss market cooperation with you," Ye Feng said, getting straight to the point with quick and clear words. "I know your country is heavily investing in infrastructure development, and our company possesses leading technology and extensive experience in this area..."

He detailed the company's advantages and cooperation plan, his tone full of confidence and passion, as if he could already see the successful collaboration.

Abdullah listened quietly, occasionally letting out a soft laugh, seemingly quite interested in Ye Feng's suggestion.

“Mr. Ye, your proposal is very attractive, but you know that many companies want to enter our market now…” Abdullah deliberately dragged out his words, his tone carrying a hint of probing.

Ye Feng understood his meaning, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. This was a negotiation tactic, but also the harsh reality of business.

“Mr. Abdullah, I know the competition is fierce, but I believe our company can provide the highest quality products and the most favorable prices. Moreover, we can also transfer technology to help you cultivate local talent…” Ye Feng offered even more enticing terms, his tone more sincere.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone; Abdullah seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. Ye Feng's heart also tightened; he knew that the success or failure of this call was crucial to the company's future.

The office was silent except for Ye Feng's rapid breathing and the howling wind outside the window. He gripped his phone tightly, his palms already sweaty.

“Alright, Mr. Ye, I appreciate your sincerity.” Abdullah finally spoke, a hint of a smile in his voice. “We can discuss the specific details of the cooperation.”

Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away.

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Abdullah! I’m confident that our cooperation will be a great success!” His voice was filled with joy and excitement.

In the following period, Ye Feng contacted partners in several countries and reached preliminary cooperation agreements. He knew this was only the first step in a long journey, and many more challenges awaited him. But he believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would definitely overcome all difficulties and lead the company to a more brilliant future!

He leaned back in his chair and wearily closed his eyes. Outside the window, the night deepened, and the city lights twinkled like stars, radiating hope.

Ye Feng hung up the phone with Liu Qingyi and rubbed his sore eyes. A wave of exhaustion washed over him, but he forcefully suppressed it. Outside the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's dazzling lights blurred into a halo, mirroring his chaotic thoughts. The giants' attacks, the expansion into new markets—each one felt like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. Liu Qingyi's casual words on the phone, "company business dinner," and "I'll be home late," felt like a sharp thorn, subtly pricking his heart.

He got up and walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and the amber liquid swirled gently in the crystal glass, mirroring his wavering emotions. He recalled the passionate days three years ago when they started their business together, when Liu Qingyi's eyes shone with the same light as his. But now, that light seemed to have dimmed, replaced by a complexity he couldn't fathom.

The spiciness of the alcohol slid down his throat into his stomach, bringing a burning sensation. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his surging emotions. He knew this was not the time to be weak.

The phone rang abruptly, breaking the silence of the office. Ye Feng picked up his phone; the screen displayed Qi Xue's name.

"Hey, Qi Xue, what's up so late?" His voice was a little hoarse, unable to hide his exhaustion.

"Ye Feng, something's happened! Tianlai Entertainment..." Qi Xue's voice trembled slightly, urgent and panicked, "They...they've been..."

"By what? Explain clearly!" Ye Feng's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind. He had heard about the turmoil in the entertainment industry before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so violently.

"It's been acquired by a new entertainment company! The whole company is in chaos now, many artists have terminated their contracts, and I..." Qi Xue's voice choked with sobs, tinged with despair, "I don't know what to do..."

Ye Feng gripped his phone tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand. He could almost feel Qi Xue's helplessness and panic, and foresee the enormous impact of this power shift. He knew this wasn't just a crisis for Tianlai Entertainment, but a reshuffling of the entire entertainment industry.
