For the past two days, Xiao Wujie has been confined to Liyue Manor by Chu Liyue to recuperate, and is not allowed to go anywhere.
Chu Liyue has reduced her working hours significantly and moved many things online, all to better take care of him.
Staying indoors all day inevitably leads to boredom, and coupled with being sick for the past two days, my mind is foggy and confused.
After recovering a bit, Xiao Wujie also took out his phone and started browsing the hot topics in the capital.
He then discovered that news about "the complete collapse of the business giant Rongguang Group" and "the president of Rongguang Group committing suicide by arson" had occupied the top spots on the trending search list for several days, and the popularity remained high.
Rongguang Group collapsed completely, and countless shareholders fled overnight.
The fire burned all night before being extinguished, and the entire building collapsed. Even the body of President Rongguang could not be saved.
Numerous media outlets have been frantically exposing and analyzing this matter.
The ins and outs of this shocking news story have also been revealed. It is said that the origin of this incident was a game between two business giants, Tianqi Group and Rongguang Group.
Tianqi Group is headed by Chu Liyue, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Chu family in the capital, while Rongguang Group is headed by a middle-aged man named Gu Wuming.
The two groups are both leading companies in the high-tech field and are competitors. They seem to be particularly at odds with each other and have been rivals for many years.
The clash between Apocalypse and Glory stems from a biochemical technology that the two companies are competing for. Apocalypse Group, led by Miss Chu Liyue, has made a breakthrough first and applied for a patent.
Unwilling to let years of investment go to waste, Rongguang tried its best to prevent the launch of Tianqi's patented technology derivative products and sued it in court for stealing Rongguang's trade secrets.
Not only did they lose the lawsuit, but Tianqi also exposed evidence related to shady dealings, plunging them into a media storm. Their stock price plummeted, bringing them to the brink of bankruptcy.
A few days ago, news broke that the president, unable to withstand the pressure, committed suicide by setting himself on fire, thus bringing Rongguang Group to a complete end.
A colossal business empire collapsed entirely due to a single misstep, a truly lamentable situation.
Xiao Wujie simply smiled when he saw these reports and analyses.
He knew about this, of course, and he also knew that the implications behind it went far beyond that.
It's true that Tianqi is in charge of Chu Liyue, and Rongguang is nominally in charge of Gu Wuming, but in reality, the boss behind the scenes is Chu Liyue's second uncle, Chu Feihong.
Although the Chu family was a powerful and wealthy family for generations, by the time of Chu Liyue's grandfather, the family had become quite small.
Old Master Chu, Chu Yuntian, had only one son, Chu Mingcheng, the father of Chu Liyue. Chu Liyue, however, had an older brother, Chu Nanfeng, who was seven years older than her.
Chu Nanfeng has decent talent, but he has a carefree personality, dislikes business and power struggles, and is unwilling to shoulder the burden of his family. With his outstanding looks and excellent acting skills, he made his way in the entertainment industry and became a famous superstar.
On the contrary, Chu Liyue was exceptionally gifted from a young age and had a cold personality, naturally becoming the best successor of the family. Therefore, she was separated from her parents and relatives from a young age and underwent rigorous and cruel training.
As for this second uncle, he was the orphan of Old Master Chu's closest friend, and was adopted by Old Master Chu as his godson, treated almost like his own son.
Unlike her brother Chu Nanfeng, who was laid-back, her second uncle was extremely ambitious and resourceful. In his early years, he lived under someone else's roof, but he didn't show it on his face and maintained harmony among his brothers.
With the abdication of Old Master Chu, 70% of the power was handed over to Chu's father, and the remaining 30% ended up in the hands of this cheap second uncle.
Chu Feihong was also exceptionally capable. With this 30% of his power as a foundation, he seized the opportunity and continued to grow stronger, eventually rivaling his elder brother Chu Mingcheng in influence.
As his back straightened, his ambitions were gradually exposed. Although he maintained harmony on the surface, he secretly sabotaged Chu Mingcheng's forces and tried to seize control of the entire Chu family.
If it were just Chu Feihong, he could handle it. His son, Chu Yichen, who was the same age as Chu Nanfeng, was also exceptionally talented. He quickly took control of a large force and joined forces with Chu Feihong to deal with Chu Mingcheng.
Chu Nanfeng's laid-back and unhelpful personality made it difficult for him to provide assistance to Chu Mingcheng, which led to Chu Mingcheng's decline in recent years when he was besieged on all sides.
Fortunately, Chu Liyue was highly capable and rose rapidly after returning to the capital. Her ruthless methods astonished everyone.
In addition, they picked up a treasure, Xiao Wujie, who pretended to be weak but was actually strong, and secretly helped them in Bingcheng, which gradually turned the tide.
Rongguang is one of the economic lifelines under Chu Feihong and Chu Yichen. Chu Liyue has long wanted to get rid of it, but has not found a good opportunity.
She had already obtained evidence of those shady deals, but she knew that this alone wouldn't be enough to bring down Chu Feihong's powerful influence.
So she chose to remain silent, holding back until the right moment to strike and deliver a fatal blow.
She originally had no chance, but this technological breakthrough gave her an opportunity.
For many years, biotechnology has been an important field of human technology, and the technology companies under the major families in the capital have all been involved in it.
This technology is a brand-new human gene modification and recombination technology, which aims to achieve a major transformation and breakthrough in the old technology and is related to the future direction of this field.
Whoever makes the first breakthrough gains the upper hand and can firmly grasp the lifeline of this field in a short period of time.
Tianqi and Rongguang are the two companies at the forefront of this technology. Given the critical nature of the matter, Chu Liyue personally led the team, working day and night to overcome the technical challenges, and finally achieved a breakthrough, taking the lead.
Rongguang has invested in this technology for many years, and even used the promise of being the first to achieve a breakthrough as a pretext to attract a large number of stock investors.
Tianqi's leading position undoubtedly caused its years of hard work to go to waste, and its stock price plummeted, plunging it into a huge economic crisis.
Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Chu Liyue's scandals were exposed at this time, putting her in the eye of the storm and making it difficult for her to manage her finances.
At this time, Tianqi Group launched a ruthless campaign to exploit businesses large and small centered around it, completely destroying them.
As for Gu Wuming, as one of Chu Feihong's confidants, keeping him alive would also be a threat. Taking off his head would be a way for her to issue a challenge to Chu Feihong.
Although the news was unaware of these secrets, Chu Liyue's fame soared after she brought down the Rongguang Group.
With her stunning beauty, she was dubbed "China's No. 1 Beauty" and "Queen of Business in the Capital".
Many netizens who spend their days immersed in the internet and novels exclaimed, "This is like a novel heroine coming to life!"
"Even as a woman, I felt like kneeling down and licking the screen after watching this."
"If only my sister would look at me even once, I would be willing to die."
"I'd gladly sacrifice ten years of my brother's life just so I could marry a sister like this."
Xiao Wujie was speechless for a moment. If only the chapter comment section could be this lively…
They were right about one thing: Chu Liyue really is a female protagonist from a novel come to life.
What they didn't know was that this matter was far from over.
After two and a half years of sharpening the sword, how could the Queen of Liyue easily put down the great sword if it wasn't uprooted completely?
Furthermore, he has also arrived in the capital, and many plans will be fully implemented. He has no qualms about killing Chu Feihong as a sacrifice to his banner.
The real show has only just begun!
