The feud between "Death" and Huo Xiuxiu dates back six years.
At that time, "Death" was an unknown small investor at the bottom of Wall Street, while Huo Xiuxiu had several top traders under her command. Together with the foundation under Huo's control, they made billions of dollars in those two days.
Until six years ago, the Dow Jones experienced an unprecedented "circuit breaker" phenomenon, and "Death" seized this opportunity to short the stock, becoming famous on Wall Street overnight. Huo Xiuxiu suffered heavy losses due to this investment failure.
The reason why Huo Xiuxiu resented "Death" was because of this stock trading incident. Originally, Huo Xiuxiu's traders had their eyes on a major market, and many companies and individual investors had invested huge sums of money into Huo's accounts.
Back then, the "Grim Reaper," who was still a newcomer, made a wild claim: those who bought into the Huo's Fund would lose everything within a week.
Huo Xiuxiu didn't take Death's words seriously at first. Ever since she entered the business world and took over the Huo family's business, the number of people who were pessimistic about her could form a whole group.
Why would she, the daughter of the prestigious Huo family, bother with a penniless Wall Street pauper?
But this "poor bastard" she despised actually predicted it correctly within a week. Under the "circuit breaker", Huo's stock plummeted overnight, and those investors who bought Huo's fund lost everything.
The "Grim Reaper" who was seen as arrogant and overconfident not only predicted the "circuit breaker" time, but also accurately seized this opportunity to survive.
At a time when all businesses were on the verge of collapse and lamenting their fate, the UK Fund, like a mysterious organization, suddenly found its name dominating the financial circles of the United States and even the world.
From then on, Huo Xiuxiu harbored a grudge against Death and always wanted to compete with him. However, as she played out her cards one by one, she gained no benefit, while Death's reputation grew.
This completely ignited her competitive spirit, and the two engaged in fierce, open and covert struggles that continued to escalate.
Seeing Death's intrusion into the Asian business world, Huo Xiuxiu quickly connected with Wansheng.

Early the next morning
Bai Qianmo took the company-provided van to Beijing International Airport.
The crew of "Limitless" had been waiting in the airport lounge for a long time.
When Fatty Liu saw Bai Qianmo appear, he seemed unusually friendly.
"Qianmo, you're here! I heard from Peishan that you've been incredibly busy lately, and you even turned down two endorsement shoots for this trip. I'm so touched."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Su Peishan and sighed inwardly, "Sister Su really knows how to talk big."
Although she has gained a lot of popularity recently, the character Nie Wuxin has also attracted some fans.
But ultimately, she didn't have many works, so in the public eye, she was still just a newcomer.
Currently, the only brand ambassador she has been approached for is Wansheng.
So where will she get two endorsements from?
Su Peishan raised an eyebrow at Bai Qianmo and smiled at Fatty Liu, saying, "I heard that the environment there is very harsh when we go to Xichuan Snow Mountain for filming. I hope you can take good care of our Qianmo during the filming."
"Of course, of course. Don't worry, Qianmo is definitely the most important person to protect in the entire crew."
"I am so grateful to Director Liu."
Having worked in this industry for many years, Su Peishan has a deep understanding of human nature within this circle.
Now that Bai Qianmo is the female lead in "Limitless", Director Liu and the entire filming team treat her with great respect.
It would be too lenient of them not to make more demands at this time.
Bai Qianmo walked to her seat looking rather dejected.
Feeling a gaze directed in their direction, they followed the gaze and met a pair of cold, disdainful eyes.
Upon seeing the other person, Bai Qianmo's cold eyes flickered slightly.
Su Le'er? It seems she has replaced Wu Youxuan as a regular female guest.
At this time
Du Muchen, Gu Hongxun, and Yu Zhehan entered one after the other, about two or three minutes apart.
Their agents also briefly spoke with Fatty Liu and the producer, mainly explaining the artists' recent situation and communicating with the director in advance to avoid any problems in post-production.
Du Muchen's gaze swept across the room first. Su Peishan seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. When Du Muchen came in, she made an excuse to go to the restroom.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Du Muchen's eyes when he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
He then walked towards Bai Qianmo's direction.
"Little Momo, did you come here by yourself?"
“I’m with Chen Feifei.” Bai Qianmo pointed to Chen Feifei beside her.
Knowing full well what Du Muchen meant, she pretended not to understand.
"Ahem... The filming location this time is Xichuan. I just checked the weather there on my way here. It's been snowing heavily there recently. Did you bring warm clothes?"
"Yes, I brought them all."
Last night she was at the hospital, and Gu Jueye somehow found out that she was going out to film a variety show the next day for two and a half days in Xichuan.
Upon hearing about the filming location, Mr. Gu immediately went online to check the weather there.
This morning, he personally delivered a box of thick clothes to the hospital.
Thinking of the scene of waking up early, Bai Qianmo's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
Du Muchen, seeing this, teased, "Looks like I was worrying for nothing. Do you think Seventh Brother would freeze you?"
Bai Qianmo turned her head and retorted with a light touch, "Brother Chen, are you trying to ask if Sister Su brought any warm clothes with her this time?"
"I asked her why? But I guess that woman doesn't know how to take care of herself at all. She doesn't even have the habit of checking the weather forecast. Just wait and see, that woman is definitely going to freeze this time."
Su Peishan walked up and happened to hear Du Muchen's words.
Her temper flared up instantly, and she plopped down on the other side of Bai Qianmo.
Her eyes blazed with fury as she coldly stared at Du Muchen.
"Whether I get cold or not is none of Old Du's concern. Mind your own business."
Du Muchen felt his gloomy mood instantly lifted after Su Peishan angrily confronted him.
"Sister Su, you're so angry, it's not that I guessed right, is it?"
Su Peishan glanced at Du Muchen with disdain. If there weren't other celebrities present, she would have rolled her eyes at him without hesitation.
After all the artists arrived, they boarded the plane together.
Xichuan is located in the southeast of China and is a quiet and remote place.
Because of the high altitude, there were concerns that some people might not be able to withstand altitude sickness. In addition, the incident where Lao Meng was attacked by a crocodile left a significant impact on the crew. Therefore, the TV station and the "Extreme" team put in a lot of effort for this filming trip.
