He was like a sophisticated and tireless machine. With the strong support of Ye Qingliu hidden behind the scenes (including providing key technical evidence, using the influence of the Ye family to stabilize Chao's stock price, and deterring opponents who were ready to make moves), he quickly took over the core power of Chao Group with an iron fist and ruthlessness beyond his age.
He used thundering means to purge the remaining forces of Wu Meng and Wu Zeyu, promoted the hard-working people who were loyal to the group itself, and at the same time ruthlessly dealt with the remaining issues of the Chengdong project to minimize the losses.

He even tried to get through Hua Jinyue, but Hua Jinyue whispered, "Brother Chao... he doesn't see anyone. Brother said he needs time..."
Time? Mu Xinrong stood on the cold street, gazing at the towering skyscraper of the Chao Group. The huge glass curtain wall reflected the gray winter sky, cold and alienated.
