The Great God's Reply
In an eerie silence, the board of directors finally adjourned the meeting.
Feng Jinxuan's proposal to hire a third-party independent consultant received the support of more than half of the directors.
Although Feng Jinhong strongly opposed it, he was powerless to change the situation.
Ultimately, the meeting decided to convene another extraordinary board meeting next week to hold a final vote on the matter.
A war without gunfire has temporarily come to an end.
But Yu Jinli knew that this was just the beginning.
A real power struggle, concerning the future of the Feng Group, is brewing in the shadows.
Back in the CEO's office, Yu Jinli felt like she had fought a tough battle. She was exhausted and deeply felt that being rich was not easy; it was physically demanding.
She slumped in her soft office chair, her mind a jumble of thoughts, filled with the hypocritical faces of the board members and the cold gaze beneath Feng Jinhong's gentle mask.
She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although Feng Jinxuan had won a round, he now had to face the intricate network of interests within the entire group.
Can the two of them really win?
As she was lost in thought, an icon that hadn't lit up in a long time suddenly flashed in the lower right corner of her computer screen.
It's that old-fashioned forum called "Xuanmen Wendao".
She sent me a new private message.
Yu Jinli's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She quickly clicked on the icon, and a familiar ID caught her eye, filling her with admiration.
It's "Zhiyi"!
The expert replied!
With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, she opened the private message.
The private message was concise, yet contained a wealth of information.
[Zhiyi]: I apologize, I've been preoccupied with worldly affairs lately and only just saw your message. I am aware of the troubles you are facing. To break through this predicament, you need to address both internal and external issues. Externally, you need to find a reliable ally to fight together; internally, you need to strengthen your own foundation to remain invincible.
As Yu Jinli looked at the words "reliable ally," Feng Jinxuan's icy face involuntarily came to mind.
Is he... a reliable ally?
It seems... so far, it's not bad?
She continued reading.
[Zhiyi]: Your lucky charm constitution is exceptionally gifted, yet like an unpolished gem, it instinctively radiates light without knowing how to restrain or utilize it. Over time, this will inevitably backfire. I have a small method for 'gathering Qi and focusing the mind' here; you can try it first. This method can help you restrain your leaking Qi and alleviate physical fatigue; it's a good starting point.
An encrypted document was attached below the private message.
Yu Jinli felt like the protagonist in a martial arts novel who had unexpectedly obtained a martial arts manual, and she was so excited that she almost jumped off her chair.
Skill development! That's exactly what she needs right now!
She's no longer just a "health pack" that can only passively take hits; she can level up on her own now!
[Zhiyi]: Furthermore, the opponent you've encountered is ruthless and extraordinary. A single method is far from sufficient to deal with them. If you trust me, we can meet tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM at the 'Silent' teahouse in the south of the city to discuss this in detail.
Meet up! The expert wants to meet her in person!
Yu Jinli's heart was pounding.
She replied almost without hesitation.
【Koi is not a fish】: Thank you so much, Master! I will definitely be there! I'll go through fire and water for you!
After sending the message, she immediately opened the encrypted document.
The document contained a passage of obscure and difficult-to-understand classical Chinese text, along with several simple diagrams of the human body's meridians.
Although it looked like a martial arts manual, Yu Jinli felt an unusual sense of familiarity with it.
Upon seeing those words and images, the energy within her body began to circulate autonomously and slowly.
She suppressed her excitement and began to study it carefully.
The method of "gathering qi and concentrating the mind" is not complicated.
The core principle is to use a special breathing rhythm and mental guidance to re-gather one's scattered Qi in the Dantian, forming a stable Qi vortex, thereby reducing unnecessary consumption.
Yu Jinli is incredibly intelligent and, with the added advantage of being blessed with good fortune, quickly grasped the secret.
She closed the office door, followed the posture in the picture, sat cross-legged on the carpet, closed her eyes, and began her first attempt at cultivation.
She cleared her mind of distractions and adjusted her breathing.
At first, it felt a bit difficult.
But gradually, she felt as if she had entered a wonderful state.
She could "see" that the pale golden specks of fortune around her body, which had been drifting outwards uncontrollably like dandelions, were being drawn back into her body little by little with her breath.
Those points of light, like a gentle school of fish, flowed slowly along her meridians, eventually converging at her lower abdomen, forming a faint yet steadily rotating golden vortex.
An unprecedented, warm and comfortable feeling spread throughout my body.
The fatigue I felt from the stress of the board meeting was completely gone.
I felt much lighter overall.
It works! It really works!
Yu Jinli was overjoyed.
She felt like she had discovered a new world, completely immersed in the joy of this "upgrade," forgetting even the passage of time.
Just as she was cultivating a state of complete absorption, the office door was silently pushed open from the outside.
After finishing the documents at hand, Feng Jinxuan was about to ask her to go out for dinner when he found that the entire outer office was empty.
He frowned, glanced around, and finally spotted a strange figure sitting cross-legged under his desk.
He walked over and looked down at her.
The girl had her eyes closed, her hands on her knees in a strange position, and she was muttering something to herself.
Her eccentric and delusional manner made her look like a half-immortal who had gone mad from practicing martial arts under a bridge.
Feng Jinxuan: "..."
He looked at her silly appearance and felt both annoyed and amused.
Despite being a clever and witty little fox, she always seems to exude an inescapable air of foolishness in these strange places.
He didn't wake her immediately, but just stood quietly beside her, watching her.
The afternoon sunlight streamed through the huge French windows, gently bathing her in a soft, golden glow.
Her long eyelashes, like two small fans, cast a quiet shadow under her eyelids.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that she seemed to have a bit more...spirit than usual today?
He was staring at her, somewhat lost in thought, when suddenly the girl's eyelashes fluttered.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
Those peach blossom eyes, which always gleamed with a cunning light, now held a clear yet bewildered look, as if they had just awakened from deep meditation.
She just tilted her head back, staring at him blankly.
Their eyes met.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
The next second, Yu Jinli instantly woke up!
She sprang up from the ground with the speed of a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Boss... why do you walk so quietly!"
Oh no! I was caught slacking off at work by my boss! Is my bonus for this month going to be for nothing?!
Looking at her adorable, panicked expression as she tried to destroy the evidence, Feng Jinxuan could no longer hide the smile in his eyes.
He deliberately put on a stern face, reverting to his usual aloof CEO demeanor, and raised an eyebrow.
“Conducting feudal superstitious activities during working hours,” he drawled, scrutinizing her with a dangerous look, “Assistant Yu, according to Article 37 of the employee handbook, don’t you think your salary should be deducted?”
