Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

The morning sunlight streamed through the glass curtain wall of the Tiansheng Group headquarters building, illuminating the spacious office area and every tense face. On the surface, the entire office was operating smoothly as usual, with employees busy at their own pace, fingers flying across keyboards, and documents being passed back and forth. But beneath this composed atmosphere, an invisible sense of oppression quietly permeated the air.

Su Bing stood before her desk, her hands gripping the edge, her gaze fixed intently on the stock market curve on the screen. Tiansheng Group's stock price had plummeted by 20% in the past few days. This line, once a symbol of the company's steady growth, now felt like a dagger piercing her heart. Her breathing quickened with each fluctuating number.

“Dixiong Group…” she murmured to herself, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, like a frigid winter day that freezes the land for miles.

Just last night, Dixiong Group once again publicly announced that it would launch a full acquisition of Tiansheng Group. This news hit the nerves of the entire industry like a heavy hammer, shaking the entire financial circle.

"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?" Su Bing gritted her teeth, her knuckles clenching tightly as she gripped her hand, her face darkening.

Inside the conference room, Su Bing's core team was already in place, each with a different expression. Director Wang looked nervous, occasionally wiping sweat from his brow, while Supervisor Li chewed on his pen, sometimes frowning, sometimes deep in thought. They were waiting for Su Bing to speak, and the atmosphere in the conference room grew increasingly tense as time went on.

Zhu Feifei sat lazily on the sofa, casually flipping through a financial magazine, his expression relaxed, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere around him. However, his heart was in turmoil. He knew that Zhao Tianxiong, the Black Bear Demon, would not let Tiansheng Group off easily. This offensive by Dixiong Group was definitely not accidental, but premeditated.

"Tsk, is that guy really planning to pester me relentlessly?" Zhu Feifei frowned slightly, the image of the arrogant black bear spirit, the mastermind behind the Dixiong Group, flashing through his mind. He thought to himself that there must be more unspeakable secrets behind this acquisition.

"Ring ring..." The phone on Su Bing's desk suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the conference room. She answered the phone, her brows gradually furrowing during the call, and her expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

"I understand." Su Bing's voice was calm, but it faintly revealed a suppressed anger. "I will handle it as soon as possible."

She hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and looked up at Zhu Feifei and the other executives: "Everyone, we're in big trouble."

Zhu Feifei looked up at her, her fingers lightly tapping the table, her expression suddenly serious: "What happened?"

“Dixiong Group has launched a full-scale attack on us.” Su Bing’s tone was icy, and her words were like hammer blows. “They not only maliciously poached key employees from several of our core departments, but also used their media resources to maliciously spread rumors about Tiansheng Group’s broken capital chain, and even put pressure on our partners directly.”

Upon hearing this, Manager Li couldn't help but slam his fist on the table in anger: "These despicable tactics! We can't just stand by and watch them do whatever they want!"

“I support Director Li’s opinion,” another young director said, clenching his fists. “We should take the initiative to fight back and expose Dixiong Group’s malicious actions to the media.”

"Calm down," Su Bing's voice interrupted the commotion in the conference room. "Doing this is tantamount to playing with fire. Zhao Tianxiong has even more powerful forces behind him, and we don't have enough resources to confront them head-on."

"Then what can we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?" Manager Li said unwillingly, his eyes burning with anger.

The atmosphere in the meeting room tensed up again, like a string stretched ever tighter, ready to snap at any moment. Everyone chimed in, offering their opinions, but they couldn't find a solution that would both protect themselves and allow them to retaliate. Anxiety and unease clung to everyone's faces, as if an impending storm was brewing, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats.

At this moment, Zhu Feifei remained silent. He looked at Su Bing's furrowed brows; her usually calm and icy face now appeared exceptionally tired, even carrying a hint of helplessness. Although she tried her best to hide it, Zhu Feifei had already seen through the contradictions and worries in her heart.

"Little White, help me check on the recent moves of the Dixiong Group." Zhu Feifei silently called out to Little White, the Ringwraith. Although he was also observing the situation, Little White's intelligence capabilities far surpassed his own.

"I know, you lovestruck pig." Little White's voice was slightly teasing, but he quickly got into work mode.

A moment later, the voice of the Ringwraith White echoed in Zhu Feifei's mind: "Dixiong Group has recently been making frequent high-risk investments, and its cash flow is already at its limit. They are going all in on this acquisition battle, hoping to save their situation by acquiring Tiansheng Group."

A glint of light flashed in Zhu Feifei's eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "I see. It seems we are not entirely without a chance of winning."

He stood up, walked to the conference table, looked around at everyone present, and then said firmly, "I have a solution."

All eyes turned to him. Su Bing's eyes showed a hint of doubt. She had never been sure what Zhu Feifei's plans were, but at this moment, she could only choose to listen.

“Dixiong Group’s cash flow is extremely fragile right now, and their acquisition plan is actually a huge gamble,” Zhu Feifei said, her tone full of confidence and determination. “We can do the opposite and launch a counter-acquisition.”

"Anti-takeover?!" A gasp rippled through the meeting room. Director Wang said incredulously, "We're barely able to protect ourselves, where would we get the funds to acquire them?"

“Funding is not a problem,” Zhu Feifei said calmly, her expression confident. “I have overseas investment channels that can provide sufficient financial support.”

Upon hearing this, Su Bing's expression became complex. Zhu Feifei's words gave her a glimmer of hope, but at the same time, they filled her with doubt and wariness. What exactly was Zhu Feifei's background? Why did he possess such powerful resources? And what was his true purpose in doing all this?

She paused for a moment, then calmly said, "President Zhu, I know your intention is to help Tiansheng Group, but a counter-takeover is a high-risk gamble. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."

“Su Bing, I understand your concerns.” Zhu Feifei looked directly at her, her tone both gentle and firm. “But sometimes, opportunities only arise in times of crisis. Rather than waiting to be killed, it’s better to take the initiative.”

Supervisor Li was thrilled and immediately chimed in, "I support President Zhu's plan! We can't keep taking the hits; we must fight back!"

The other young directors also expressed their support, and the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became lively. Although everyone still had some concerns about this bold proposal, Zhu Feifei's confidence and composure undoubtedly inspired them.

Su Bing knew she had to make a decision at this moment, and she looked at Zhu Feifei again. This man's appearance had undoubtedly changed many things, and she had to admit that his presence had brought hope to Tiansheng Group, but her heart was still filled with complex emotions.

After a brief silence, Su Bing finally spoke: "President Zhu, if you can provide us with sufficient financial support, I'm willing to take the gamble."

As soon as she finished speaking, applause erupted in the meeting room.

This time, the atmosphere in the meeting room subtly shifted. The tension and doubt from before were replaced by a new determination, and everyone's gaze gradually turned to Zhu Feifei. His confident expression and resolute gaze seemed to ignite hope in everyone present.

"Now that everyone agrees, let's immediately begin developing a detailed action plan." Su Bing's voice became firm again. She stood up and scanned each attendee. Although her decision was made under immense pressure, she knew that only by going all out could they win this business battle.

Zhu Feifei acted swiftly, knowing that time was the most scarce resource for Tiansheng Group. He began contacting his overseas investment partners to quickly arrange the transfer of funds. At the same time, he closely monitored the latest developments of Dixiong Group, prepared to respond to any potential unforeseen circumstances.

A few days later, one morning, Su Bing and Zhu Feifei sat in a conference room at a high-end hotel. The surrounding decor was elegant yet modern, and the city skyline shimmered in the morning light through the large windows. They were preparing to welcome a representative from a European investment firm who would provide crucial financial support for their anti-takeover plan.

Inside the meeting room, Su Bing, dressed in a well-tailored business suit, looked exceptionally capable. Her gaze was fixed firmly on the documents on the table, her heart filled with both anticipation and nervousness for the meeting. Zhu Feifei, on the other hand, appeared relaxed and at ease. He adjusted his tie and gently patted Su Bing's shoulder, trying to ease her tension.

"President Su, relax, our plan is already very complete." Zhu Feifei's voice was reassuring. Although he himself was a little uneasy, he remained calm on the outside.

"I hope everything goes well." Su Bing nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

Soft footsteps sounded outside the door, then it opened, and the investor representative entered. He was tall, dressed in a sharp suit, and exuded composure and confidence. Accompanying him were several assistants who entered the conference room with smiles and friendly greetings.

"Welcome to our conference room." Su Bing smiled, stood up, and extended her hand to shake hands with the representative. "Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us."

A kind smile appeared on the representative's face. He shook hands with Su Bing, then turned to Zhu Feifei: "Mr. Zhu, President Su, we are very interested in your plan."

"Please sit down." Zhu Feifei gestured for everyone to take their seats, while she herself sat down on one side of the conference table, preparing to begin introducing Tiansheng Group's anti-takeover plan.

After the meeting began, Su Bing gave a detailed presentation on Tiansheng Group's current operating status, market prospects, and the malicious actions of Dixiong Group. She cited a wealth of data and facts to demonstrate Tiansheng Group's potential and strategic plans for future development.

"Our anti-takeover plan is not only to recover the losses of Tiansheng Group, but also to break the threat posed by Dixiong Group to us in the market." Su Bing's tone was firm and clear. "We believe that as long as we have your support, Tiansheng Group will not only be able to stabilize, but also usher in a broader prospect for development."

The representative listened attentively, nodding occasionally, clearly approving of Su Bing's detailed introduction. He turned to Zhu Feifei, a questioning look on his face.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think of this plan?" the representative asked, his voice tinged with anticipation.

Zhu Feifei smiled, stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and began to draw a detailed plan. He used clear logic and organization to demonstrate the specific steps, risk assessment, and response strategies for the anti-takeover operation.

“Our plan is divided into three phases,” Zhu Feifei said. “First, we need to secure funding to ensure a swift counterattack. Second, we will conduct public relations to expose Dixiong Group’s illegal activities through the media and gain public support. Finally, we will launch a formal acquisition, completing the counter-acquisition of Dixiong Group with lightning speed.”

His explanation was precise and powerful, showcasing every detail of the plan. The investors' interest grew even stronger, clearly indicating a deeper understanding of Zhu Feifei's plan.

At the end of the meeting, the representative stood up, smiled, and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Zhu, your plan is very forward-thinking and has excellent execution capabilities. We are willing to fully support this project."

Su Bing and Zhu Feifei exchanged a glance, both breathing a sigh of relief. This meeting had not only secured the investors' support but also laid a solid foundation for their upcoming counterattack.

"Thank you for your support. We will certainly live up to your expectations," Su Bing said, her tone filled with a sense of relief and determination.

"I hope we can work together to achieve final victory," the representative replied with a smile.

With the investor representatives gone, Su Bing and Zhu Feifei got busy. They quickly arranged the follow-up work, mobilizing all the company's resources to prepare for the upcoming anti-takeover action.

Meanwhile, Dixiong Group's actions did not stop. Zhao Tianxiong seemed to be escalating his efforts in acquiring Tiansheng Group, aiming not only to complete the acquisition but also to further expand his market share by controlling Tiansheng Group. Various departments within Tiansheng Group were intensively adjusting their strategies, preparing for the upcoming challenges.

Zhu Feifei stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, overlooking the city view, his heart filled with complex emotions. Although facing immense pressure, he knew that the outcome of this business war was not only about the future of Tiansheng Group, but also about his personal mission and goals.

“Su Bing, there’s no turning back now,” Zhu Feifei muttered to himself, a hint of determination and resolve in his eyes. “I will definitely help you complete this mission, no matter the cost.”

Su Bing was busy in her office, a smile on her face, but her heart was far from calm. She knew that the attack from Dixiong Group was not only a business competition, but also a severe test of her personal abilities.

She reviewed the documents in her hands once more, fully aware of the responsibilities and challenges she bore. Her gaze hardened, and a clear conviction settled in her heart: "No matter how difficult it may be, I must protect the future of Tiansheng Group."

In this fierce business battle, Su Bing and Zhu Feifei's fates are inextricably linked. Their cooperation will determine the survival of Tiansheng Group and reshape the entire industry landscape. As the hourglass of time continues to tick, a new battle is about to begin, and the future of Tiansheng Group remains an unknown mystery.
