The Wen family's old residence in Beijing.
"Shao, are you really going in person?"
A mature woman dressed in a cheongsam and wearing glasses knelt on the bed, gently massaging Wen Shao's temples.
This woman was none other than Wen Shao's most trusted confidante and the woman he truly loved: Du Bing.
This woman was six years older than Wen Shao, but she accompanied him throughout his adolescence and was his first woman.
She was his teacher who imparted knowledge and strategies, his caregiver who looked after him, and the woman who deeply loved him.
Wen Shao lay on Du Bing's lap, looking up at Du Bing's jawline, and gently raised his right hand to stroke her neck.
"Yes."
"But a mere central market isn't worth your personal involvement."
"Isn't Ningxi still overseeing things over there? So far, everything seems calm and peaceful. It doesn't seem to have reached the point where the young master needs to personally intervene, right?"
"No, you only see the surface, not the essence."
"It's not that everything is calm now; rather, Ningxi and the others have fallen into the enemy's trap without realizing it."
Du Bing was somewhat puzzled, as she had not found anything amiss based on the information she currently possessed.
They have even infiltrated Chen Luo's projects and are planning to disrupt their funding chain.
All signs seemed to indicate that they had the upper hand, so why did Wen Shao say that Ning Xi and the others had fallen into a terrifying trap and were in grave danger?
"The project that Ningxi and the others are preparing to demolish is probably bait that Chen Luo threw out."
"Although according to Tang Xiwei, the other party did not discover that I was the behind-the-scenes boss of this company, I know that Wen Wan would not make such a low-level mistake."
“I know her style too well, so I’m sure the other party is playing along.”
"But if they're going to use a counter-strategy, why don't they act immediately and tie up the company's funds?"
Du Bing thought about it and realized that there were still some issues that she hadn't figured out.
Wen Shao poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Du Bing.
"when!"
The two clinked glasses and tacitly drank their wine in one gulp.
Wen Shao put down his wine glass, reached out and pulled her close, making her sit on his lap.
"This is one aspect of the proof that Tang Xiwei and the others are already in crisis."
"They had the opportunity to crush us in one fell swoop and put our cash flow in crisis, but they didn't."
"That leaves only one possibility."
"Their appetite is bigger than Ningxi and the others imagined."
"The most likely scenario is that they want to completely swallow up the entire central market!"
"ah!"
"Has Wen Wan gone mad? She's not powerful enough to take over such a large market right now!"
Du Bing gasped, covering her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Even though Wen Wan has already dominated the Southeast market, she doesn't have absolute power; other families are still around.
She can only use half of her resources and finances in the central market at most; that alone is not enough to swallow the entire central market.
It's not that the central market is much larger than the southeastern market, but rather that the current situation in the central market is far too complex, requiring an alarming level of resources and assets.
As the person in charge of all of Wen Shao's accounts, she was very clear about her side's assets and resources.
To be honest, even with Wen Shao's resources and funds, it might not be enough to take over the central market.
"Don't doubt it, that's exactly what this crazy woman plans to do."
"And her lover is also making plans toward that goal."
Wen Shao took out his phone and opened a video.
The video shows Chen Daoyun hosting the event; Wen Shao specially edited together footage from that presentation.
I tapped the phone lightly, and the screen stayed on the app icon.
"They went to such lengths to win over the Chen family, only to promote a piece of software in the end? What does that mean?"
Upon hearing Du Bing's question, Wen Shao shook his head, a rare occurrence for him.
"have no idea."
"To be honest, I don't understand their intentions."
"Impossible! It's impossible that even you can't understand the other party's intentions!"
Du Bing let out a soft scream, because she had watched Wen Shao grow up and had personally taught him.
From the moment Wen Shao entered the business world, he has always been a master strategist, able to see through others' schemes at a glance and quickly analyze the enemy's intentions.
But now Wen Shao says he can't see Wen Wan's intentions.
"This is the first time I've ever had this feeling. I can sense that the other person is doing something beyond my comprehension, but I can't judge the direction they're going."
"Therefore, I am certain that this is absolutely not something that crazy woman Wen Wan could do."
"It's more likely her lover Chen Luo's idea."
"A boy who is not even twenty years old has such abilities?"
Du Bing didn't actually consider Chen Luo to be on par with Wen Shao.
"Although I don't know his true background, the talent he has shown so far is enough to earn my attention."
Wen Xiu paused at this point.
"Bing, how is our child now?"
"He is currently attending a prestigious elementary school in the United States, and his grades are quite good. Of course, he is now a resident of the United States."
Wen Shao and Du Bing had a son, whom they sent abroad when he was young and raised under assumed names by a Chinese couple.
"It's just that, because we're not around, I'm a bit insecure now."
"Sigh, let's bring him back once everything settles down. I owe him so much."
Du Bing was somewhat moved; it was rare for Wen Shao to say such caring words about children.
"By the way, let him come back and acknowledge his ancestors. If the old man sees such a great-grandson, perhaps he will change his opinion of me."
Upon hearing this, the initial感动 (feeling of being moved) vanished instantly; to put it bluntly, Wen Shao was still acting in his own self-interest.
However, Du Bing was used to it; he was too rational, or rather, too cold-blooded.
"Well, so you've still decided to go in person?"
"Yes, I have to go in person."
"We must crush Chen Luo before he can complete his scheme!"
"You're coming with me!"
"This time, we will go all out to completely wipe out Wen Wan's forces!"
...
That evening, in the president's office of Wanluo Group.
"What? Wen Shao is coming in person? He's already on his way?"
Wen Xiu exclaimed in surprise, looking at Wen Wan and Chen Luo.
"No! What did you do? You've summoned the Great Demon King!"
Chen Luo frowned and looked at Wen Wan.
"Wan'er, I think we need to move our plan forward."
