See you in January!
Damn it!
Netizens from China, Vietnam, and Taiwan were all stunned!
Eight!
Fusheng even personally got involved!
Is this the lineup that Tianrui Entertainment is using to compete in the War of the Gods?
Terrifying!
At this moment, many people recalled the first post Fusheng made on Weibo not long ago.
—When you reach the summit, you will see all the mountains below!
A private club.
Are you satisfied now?
Li Donglai held his teacup, his expression calm.
Bao Chongxin, the richest man in Yuezhou, was staring intently at his phone. On the screen was the content of Lin Rui's new song posted on Weibo.
"Tsk tsk, not old, but with a big vision."
"Li Donglai, do you know what I admire most about you?"
"It's this discerning eye for people, especially when it comes to choosing a wife. Despite having so many admirers, you ignored them all and stubbornly moved next door to the Gong family, where you've lived for two years and three months."
Li Donglai coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's not dwell on the past, let's talk about the present."
Bao Chongxin stopped teasing Li Donglai, composed himself, and instead of speaking immediately, looked at a calligraphy scroll on the table.
This calligraphy was written by Li Donglai not long ago.
"When you reach the summit, you will see all the mountains below."
Bao Chongxin repeated it twice in a low voice before raising his head.
"The eight states of Nan, Hao, Yan, Fa, Tai, Shang, Fu, and Xuan are jointly targeting Tianrui. It seems to be aimed at Fusheng, but behind the scenes, it may also be aimed at you, Li Donglai."
"People have become accustomed to a life of ease and comfort, which inevitably leads to laziness. They have lost the drive and determination they had when they were striving for success, and now they are all indulging in a life of luxury and decadence."
"Why should you, Li Donglai, be so bored as to carry out that sea-seizing plan, disrupting everyone's peaceful life for no reason?"
"There are many other wealthy and powerful people in this world besides you, Li Donglai. Even if you have connections, don't they have their own?"
"To put it bluntly, this is a multifaceted game. Some people want to take a bite out of the pie outside the region, while others are content with the status quo."
Li Donglai listened to every word Bao Chongxin said without offering any rebuttal.
Over the years, many people have guessed that the plan to seize the sea was not solely led by Li Donglai.
As Bao Chongxin openly and implicitly expressed, the success or failure of the plan to seize the sea was also closely related to the power struggle among the upper echelons.
He Tianhong, the richest man in Wanzhou, has a fortune that several generations could squander. He is an old man who enjoys playing with his grandchildren and has neither the energy nor the need to get involved in this matter. The reason he got involved was at the behest of the big shot behind him.
Similarly, Bao Chongxin's ability to become the richest man in Yuezhou, aside from his ruthless methods, could it be that he would easily get involved because of past grudges?
This is nothing more than an open excuse. Who can stand at the top of the pyramid in a state and be simple?
To put it bluntly, it was still at the behest of the person behind it all.
Is it necessary for the eight states to unite against Tianrui?
The entertainment industries in different states are already in competition, so why make such a big fuss?
Everyone wants to make money through harmonious business dealings, especially the top capital players in the entertainment industry. From a business perspective, can't they analyze the advantages and disadvantages of cooperating with Fusheng rather than standing on the opposite side?
To put it bluntly, they're each serving their own master!
Once the auspicious day arrives.
No.
Once Fusheng completely dominates the sixteen states, it won't be long before he can be promoted to a place on the list of celebrities.
At that time, it will also mean that a crucial piece of the puzzle has been placed before the real launch of the plan to seize the sea!
This is what worries them the most!
From the moment Fusheng's promotion to second-tier celebrity was postponed, the attitude among the upper echelons became clear. As Fusheng's amazing performances continued to unfold, those who were originally neutral or initially expressed their refusal gradually joined the camp that initiated the plan to seize the sea.
This led to the successive entry of Bao Chongxin and He Tianhong into the game.
"Eight states, that's quite a lot of pressure."
Bao Chongxin had a rather intriguing expression on his face.
"I, Li Donglai, have spent half my life navigating the ups and downs of the business world. Why should I care about those scoundrels?"
Li Donglai drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
"We have already contacted Rong Zhengyi from Yunzhou and Ding Chang'an from Fanzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, they will join the game."
As for Italy…
Just as Bao Chongxin was about to speak, Li Donglai poured himself half a cup of tea and interrupted, saying, "A snake can't function without a head, so let's not mention Yizhou. The one from Xinzhou has already stated that once the plan to seize the sea begins and the war of faith starts, we can get involved."
Bao Chongxin frowned slightly. Was this going to be a five-against-eight situation?
However, he quickly came to terms with it. Besides, Fusheng wanted to single-handedly push through the Eight-State Alliance. Could it be that they, as elders, lacked the courage to go against the tide?
Thinking of this, Bao Chongxin smiled.
“Ghost Wolf Situ Changqing has always been active in public, which is enough for normal times, but this time, should we release Silver Fox?”
Bao Chongxin looked at Li Donglai, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
The world only knows that Li Donglai's success today, and his status as the richest man in Hua and Xia states, is due to the assistance of Gong Jing and Situ Changqing.
In fact, anyone who came from that era and eventually stood at the top of the pyramid knows that there was a crucial person standing behind Li Donglai.
silver fox!
…
villa.
Lin Rui was on the phone with his family. He planned to bring Lin Changhe and Dong Juan here so that if their identities were ever exposed, his parents wouldn't be harassed by outsiders.
I've indeed made a lot of money now, so buying my parents a big villa is no big deal for me.
As for Li Mubai, aside from practicing his voice, he spends almost all his time studying various foreign languages.
"Thank you, Uncle Hong."
Butler Hongbo washed a plate of fruits for Lin Rui, his face full of kindness.
Li Mubai, who was not far away, put down his book and came over, picked up a piece of sliced honeydew melon and put it in his mouth.
"Uncle Hong, have the kitchen prepare some seafood tonight. Didn't they just deliver a dozen or so king crabs yesterday?"
Hearing Li Mubai mention it, Lin Rui, while chewing on fruit, said intermittently, "I like Uncle Hong's sauce the most."
Hongbo, who had always had a kind expression, was about to agree when suddenly he frowned slightly and turned to look behind him.
A dozen or so men and women dressed in uniforms entered the room one after another, and then bowed.
"Greetings, young master."
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Upon seeing these people, Li Mubai's face showed some displeasure.
Just as he was about to put on airs and ask these people what they were doing here, he saw the group of men and women bowing to Uncle Hong in unison.
"Greetings, teacher!"
"Greetings, teacher!"
…
This scene left not only Lin Rui but also Li Mubai somewhat stunned.
Hongbo ignored these people and looked at Li Mubai and Lin Rui with a loving expression.
"Young Master, Mr. Lin, I am unable to take care of you for the time being."
Li Mubai was somewhat bewildered, but Lin Rui's eyes flickered. He realized that the reason why this kind and amiable Uncle Hong wanted to leave might be related to the plan to seize the sea.
Lin Rui never forgot that the man in front of him, Uncle Hong, was the mentor whom even a prodigy like Chen Bin highly praised.
"During the time I am away, Afu will take care of you."
As Hongbo spoke, he turned around.
His usually hunched figure became upright, his eyes were no longer cloudy, and his kindness became solemn. The decadent state that should have been like rotten wood was now incredibly sharp.
He walked a few steps through the crowd of men and women who lined the path to greet him, and stood outside the gate, looking up at the sky with a sharp glint in his eyes.
At this moment, he was no longer the butler called Hongbo.
He was once the Silver Fox who dominated the business world!
Changsun Jinghong!
