Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Liu Qianqian said irritably, "It's all baseless, so why are you saying so much to scare people?"

"Qianqian, as the head of the Li Group, I must make some advance plans for the future of the group. When the tide of the times comes, it is the time when a large company will face a crisis."

When a company is small, it's easy to change course, but when a company is too large, it's not so easy to adjust its business direction in a short period of time.

Now, our Li Group is one of the largest conglomerates in the country. With such a massive scale, a crisis could be catastrophic!

Tang Shanshan tentatively asked, "Will the Li Group's strategic development direction need to be adjusted in the future?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "Although Wanzhong Media has reached the ceiling of the industry, no matter how the group adjusts its development direction, this position must not be lost."

On the one hand, Wanzhong Media is highly profitable and serves as the group's cash cow; on the other hand, Wanzhong Media can connect with other business segments to share resources, since every company needs to advertise.

Especially for Vertex Media, there is a strong need for resource integration with Wanzhong Media. Therefore, it is crucial for Wanzhong Media to remain stable, as this is vital for the stability of the entire group.

Tang Shanshan continued, "Should we increase Wanzhong Media's shareholding?"

"Let's not consider it for now. If Kage Media really tries to take market share from us, our revenue and profits will definitely decline significantly, and the stock price will drop further. It's not too late to increase our shareholding when Cui Zhongxian has finished his mess."

"What if Cui Zhongxian wants to keep dragging this out on us?"

"Then let's just keep at it. As the great man said, they can fight for as long as they want. No matter how rich and powerful Puyu Group is, they can't keep going indefinitely."

Besides, we can't keep going on the defensive like this. Shanshan, do you have a counter-strategy against Puyu Group?

Tang Shanshan said seriously, "The conflict between Puyu Group and the Qin family is very deep. I estimate that the Qin family will definitely have a follow-up counterattack plan. I suggest that we should not act rashly."

The Qin family's counterattack has nearly brought the Shen family to their knees. If we step forward, we risk being drawn into the vortex of political infighting, which would be very disadvantageous for us.

Li Xiaofeng nodded: "Hmm, what you said makes sense. Let's wait and see. However, it's really frustrating that I've been targeted by Puyu Group several times without being able to mount an effective counterattack!"

Tang Shanshan smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not that we can't give them a warning. Don't you have a connection with Secretary Li? You can use him to stir things up in the entertainment industry."

"What do you mean by that? You don't want me to offend the entire entertainment industry, do you?!"

"Xiaofeng, you're not someone who's just dabbling in the entertainment industry anymore. You're someone who can wield the baton in the entertainment industry now, and you don't need to be mindful of those artists' opinions anymore."

The problems of dual contracts and tax evasion in the film and television industry are very serious. Many film and television companies are even suspected of money laundering. We are honest and straightforward, which is very detrimental to our competition with our peers.

I don't believe Meiyi Media is clean. We should find a way to investigate Meiyi; this will not only clean up the film and television industry but also strike a blow against our competitors.

Li Xiaofeng frowned and said, "But Secretary Li is currently out of town and it's inconvenient for him to get involved in these matters in Shanghai!"

"How come you don't pay any attention to official matters? Although Secretary Li is in another city, Hou Guowei has been transferred back to Shanghai and is now the director of the tax bureau. He just took office a few days ago."

A new broom sweeps clean; if he were to conduct an investigation into Mei Yi Media and uncover any results, it would be a significant achievement for him.

"Really? How did you know?" Li Xiaofeng's eyes widened in surprise.

"The finance director told me this a few days ago when I was filing my taxes!"

"That's great! Let's try to get some evidence from Meiyi first, so that Director Hou will have a reason to speak."

After all, Meiyi is now a large company in Shanghai, a major taxpayer. Without solid reasons and evidence, Director Hou can't just arbitrarily audit their accounts.

Tang Shanshan said seriously, "Xiaofeng, although Secretary Li has a lot of influence, a local official is more powerful than a county official. Since Director Hou has been transferred back to Shanghai, you should try to get closer to him."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I don't want to be too distant from these people in the system, but I also don't want to get too close. The best approach is to maintain a platonic relationship like that of gentlemen."

My relationship with them is actually a cooperative one. I help them achieve more political success, and in return, they protect our business within reasonable limits.

Tang Shanshan asked Li Xiaofeng in a teasing tone, "Secretary Li's daughter, Li Qiuxia, is still single. Aren't you going to use your womanizing skills to win her over as well?"

"Am I crazy? You really dare to think that way? There's no way I could marry Secretary Li's daughter. If Secretary Li found out, he'd kill me!"

"The few of you are enough for me. Any more and I wouldn't be able to handle it. It's not like I lack women. Why would I create so much trouble for myself over one woman?"

Tang Shanshan said with a grin, "Who knows? Men are all driven by their lower bodies. There's a saying that power is the best aphrodisiac, giving people a stronger sense of conquest."

Besides, Li Qiuxia is quite pretty. A daughter raised in an official's family like that is bound to be different. Don't you want to give her a try?

"Tch, don't give me that. I still have my principles!"

"I haven't seen any bottom line in you. If you really had so many bottom lines, how come we have so many sisters? Didn't you completely seduce the eldest daughter of the Le family recently?"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Look at what you're saying. Of course I have a bottom line. Putting aside everything else, at the very least I can't harm the interests of the Li Group!"

From my own perspective, meeting you all in this life is a blessing from God, a destiny bestowed upon me by God. Therefore, my feelings for you are very serious.

Tang Shanshan turned to Liu Qianqian with a smile and said, "Qianqian, listen to this. This is what that scumbag says. He's really serious about our relationship. He's so loving!"

Liu Qianqian said with an annoyed look, "There's nothing we can do, what can we do when we end up with a man like this!"
