While he was still laughing, his phone suddenly rang. Liu Yihui picked it up and looked at it, and he laughed as he thought, It’s actually Hao Mingxu, giving me a call at this hour, seems like Hong Weiguo’s side hasn’t thought of a countermove yet. Right, even if he has an exceeding amount of capability, what could he do to me still?

He gently took a sip of wine and answered the call. At present, his voice was extremely kind and gentle. “Oh, it’s Old Hao, how’re things going there? Hong Weiguo has most probably not managed to think of anything yet, right?”

“Director Liu!” Hao Mingxu’s voice at the other end of the call was both low and mournful. “Things have gone terribly wrong! This is simply a makeover of the entire situation! Director Liu, trust me, quickly close the quotation! Quickly close the quotation! Any later, and it will be too late!’”

“What are you saying?!” Liu Yihui jumped up almost immediately. “Why would I close the quotation when the situation is so beneficial? Have you slept too much that you’re so muddled now? 3 billion! I’ve prepared 3 billion! Even if Hong Weiguo is able to flip the heavens, what can he do to squeeze out money to fight with me?! The liquid funds that he has on hand is only at most 700 to 800 million! 700 to 800 million! If he’s still able to turn things around like that, what am I still doing here!”

“Director Liu, currently Hong Weiguo’s side... that side...” Hao Mingxu fiercely gritted his teeth and just decided to tell the truth anyway, it would be too late not to say it out loud. “He doesn’t need to fork out money anymore! Quickly watch the news broadcast tonight! You’ll know it when you watch it! It’s definitely earthshaking! I can’t talk long, I have to hang up now, or else, they’ll become suspicious.”

Hao Mingxu was evidently very anxious as he hung up right after saying these words.

“News broadcast?” Liu Yihui felt rather weird. “What news broadcast? What about the news broadcast? The news broadcast can make Hong Weiguo create money from the heavens? I don’t believe that! What kind of weird nonsense is this, what the heck is he doing?! Has he taken the wrong medication today?”

Though that was what he said, Liu Yihui still maintained prudent thoughts. After all, being able to advance till where he was now meant that he had to be careful and prudent upon encountering various situations. As the saying goes, no information appeared out of thin air. Liu Yihui anxiously turned his computer on and logged into the site of the television station, and then checked tonight’s news broadcast to find out what exactly had happened.

Not long after, the voice of the presenter emitted from the computer. “This report is in accordance with the latest resolution passed down from the government. Due to the unique location, beautiful surroundings, and bountiful travel resources available at the West Fourth Loop in Tianjing City, the government has decided to increase the speed of development there. The exact plan is as follows...”

Pada! The wine glass gently fell to the floor and broke into countless pieces of glass, spinning as they flew about.

The pure and beautiful red wine spilled all over the floor, spilling even onto Liu Yihui’s clothes. Yet, he didn’t seem like he could feel it at all and only mumbled. “This... How is this possible? How can this be possible?”

After muttering for a while, all of a sudden, he violently swept all the files on his office desk onto the floor and screamed loudly. “How the heck is this possible! Why did the country come up with such a policy all of a sudden?! Moreover, even if there was such a policy, why did they have to announce it not earlier or later, but right at this time! How can they!”

All the files on the entire office desk, including the computer, fell to the floor. However, Liu Yihui was still not satisfied and smashed everything that he saw along the way. “What the heck! What the heck! How is this possible! 3 billion! 3 billion! I raised a full 3 billion of funds just for today! Everything had already been prepared, I didn’t leave anything out! I’ve accurately predicted that he’d not have money, I’ve accurately predicted that he was going to attend the family meeting, and the Hong Family wanted to arrange for an election of the outstanding descendants so that he would be unable to fork out money for the time being!

“But what is this?! What is this?!

“Just because of that piece of news, my 3 billion is entirely useless now! Useless! He, Hong Weiguo, can receive money dropped down from heaven even if he sits there and does nothing!

“Hong Dali! Hong Dali! What the heck! What the heck! It’s all because of that prodigal Hong Dali! Hong Weiguo bought over 1 billion worth of estates because of him! And I’d previously mocked him for being a prodigal! I was so short-sighted! So supercilious!”

Liu Yihui slapped himself hard and repeatedly. “Now that I see it, I’m the real prodigal! I’m the real fool! Close to half of the estates were sold by me, and I was the one who initiated it! What is this!? What is this?!

“More than 1 billion worth of estates! More than 1 billion! With this policy, Hong Weiguo can easily increase his funds to 10 billion and above! What about me? And what about me?! I slogged the hell out for such a long period of time, racking my brains to start up these business services, but so what if it can earn money?! It’s not even enough to cover the loss from selling those pieces of land! It’s futile! All have been futile!

“With these estates, Hong Weiguo can easily take a few billion out of that! How can I fight with him! How can I still fight with him!

“With Hong Weiguo’s large earnings, plus the money that he has on hand, he can easily form an ally with those few other companies to corner me. No, this cannot happen! I have to think of a way, I have to do that as soon as possible!”

Upon thinking up to this point, Liu Yihui’s entire face and head were filled with cold sweat.

It had to be admitted that he was definitely someone destined to do big things, judging from the extent which he managed to run Turkey Software—he wasn’t someone weak and indecisive. After calming down, Liu Yihui resolutely picked up his phone and started to make phone calls one by one. “Stop all the current publicity business services, stop them all! Apart from those rewards promised to the users, stop everything else! Quick, stop them right now!

“Don’t talk rubbish, stop it when I order you to!

“Don’t carry out any more publicity over there, stop all works, suspend all the advertisements! Now, right away!”

After making arrangements for all the business service departments in the company, Liu Yihui collapsed on the sofa. Afterward, he took his phone and, after thinking for a while, he helplessly let out a bitter smile and said, “Looks like I have to admit that I’m old already, sigh...”

After shaking his head, Liu Yihui keyed in the last phone number, and the name corresponding to the number impressively wrote—Liu Mingxin.

...

Coffee Wings coffeehouse.

Liu Mingxin casually held a cup of coffee, legs crossed, and occasionally took a few sips. His appearance was full of grace, attracting the attention of the young females in the coffeehouse. Their faces and ears were red as they constantly peeked at him.

In the eyes of outsiders, that lad had purely come to exude his charm. However, in fact, he was only purely enjoying the feeling of being alone and relaxed, without any intention of showing off.

To say without any exaggeration, if he had wanted to seduce women, there would definitely not be any difficulty in changing eight to ten of them daily.

However, Liu Mingxin was, in fact, a very down-to-earth and steady person, it was almost impossible to perceive any obvious flaws on him.

He was steady, wise, not frivolous, handsome, his voice was rich and deep enough, and he was quite a good person as well—without that arrogant and egoistic mindset of the rich. Thus, he was still very well-received among his friends.

If Liu Mingxin starred in movies and dramas, that was the benchmark model of a protagonist, and it even belonged to the type of guy who was tall, handsome and rich, almost like Rui Hanazawa in Meteor Garden.

As he gently sipped his coffee, Liu Mingxin looked towards the night view outside the window. However, in his mind, he was thinking of what would possibly happen during these few days.

“Father’s side has raised quite an amount of funds, he’s planning to expand his business services while the Hong Family is still holding a family meeting these two days. Sigh, not to mention others, but by expanding the business services, it will definitely clash with Hong Dali.

“It would still be fine if it was an ordinary matter, but father just had to create a Turkey Search Engine, this is truly worrying.”

Liu Mingxin was confident that his father Liu Yihui would definitely be able to easily handle other people. The plan this time was perfect. Even with the Hong Family’s and Hong Weiguo’s abilities, it would not be so easy to disrupt the plot over there.

However, once the matter involved Hong Dali, everything would become cloudy and uncertain.

“It’s really giving me a headache.” Liu Mingxin gently rubbed his temples. “I’d have been confident about other things, but this time, it can be said to be directly going against the Hong Family. I don’t even know how things will change because of that person Hong Dali.”

Thinking up to here, his phone suddenly rang. Liu Mingxin took it out and looked at the screen. It was actually his own father who was calling him, causing his heart to immediately sink. “Looks like it has come true. Sigh, I knew it, anything that involves Hong Dali will not have any good outcome.”

As he picked up the call, Liu Mingxin slowly said, “Dad, did something go wrong?”

“You already know about it?” Liu Yihui’s voice was full of shock, and afterward, he lowered his tone and said, “Something has indeed gone wrong. Where are you now? Come to my office right away.”

“Alright.” After hanging up the call, Liu Mingxin slowly stood up and shook his head helplessly. “As expected, seems like things are really knotty this time.”

If god made someone so excellent, why did he make someone even better? I can only account this to fate’s doing. What a pity.

After putting down his cup of coffee, Liu Mingxin slowly left the coffeehouse, leaving nothing behind.

The young ladies around him were all charmed by him.

Turkey Building.

When Liu Mingxin made it there, the entire big conference room was already full of people, and the atmosphere was gloomy and miserable.

The moment Liu Yihui saw that Liu Mingxin had arrived, he hurriedly went up to him and said, “Mingxin, everyone is at a loss about what to do now. I know that you’ve always been better than me at coming up with bright ideas, quickly come and help me take a look at it.”

Liu Yihui had always been very satisfied with this son of his.

He was smart, steady, and literally had almost no flaws.

However, Liu Yihui had wanted to let Liu Mingxin train by himself. Thus, he had released him to struggle outside while he became his backup.

Now that such a serious matter had cropped up in the company, it was also the time to let him come into contact with things over here.

If he could put up with a brilliant fight to turn things around this time, when Liu Mingxin took over in the future, he would be confident that none of the company executives would dare to overshadow him.

“Alright, dad, don’t be anxious. Speak slowly, what exactly has happened?” Liu Mingxin slowly asked after he’d sat down.

With his presence, Liu Yihui relaxed quite a bit, and he took his laptop and played the news broadcast again for Liu Mingxin. The more Liu Mingxin watched, the more he frowned.

After the news of the development of the West Fourth Loop had finished broadcasting, Liu Mingxin touched his chin, and all of a sudden, exhaled a long breath and slowly said, “Looks like it’s what I’ve expected, heh heh.”
