HuaDing?

He Bai frowned. He remembered clearly it was Di Qiuhe who founded the company in the last life, which, with tremendous momentum of development, took only ten years to supplant Huangdu as the leading entertainment company in an aggressive way. But if he remembered it correctly, Di Qiuhe didn’t set it up until years later… Or was it a different HuaDing? Was there anything wrong with his memory?

With those doubts and guesses, He Bai clicked on the second push notification and glanced through it.

He knew very little about those stock market things, but given that its information was relatively simple, He Bai summed up two points after reading: A big shot withdrew its capital for Huangdu, and on top of that, the company made a wrong strategic decision on the real estate project of C Province, thus suffering a catastrophic loss; Innumerable giants injected funds into HuaDing, the little-known small company, to help it successfully secure the project.

There were thousands of comments under this post. Netizens discussed it heatedly and soon connected it to the news of Di Bian’s impending divorce.

Netizen one: You who don’t understand the matter have no say. The reason why Huangdu’s stocks took a tumble was not limited to its decision-making failure or divestment. The biggest problem is that Qin family also meddled in the real estate project secretly at the opposite side of Huangdu. Huangdu and Qin family were originally a union, but now suddenly competed with each other, which, in those giants’ eyes, was an upsetting signal that they’re about to dissolve the partnership. That explained how things happened recently. HuaDing played big luck indeed and benefited from their disintegration.

Netizen two: You also lack good knowledge of the situation. Despite small scale, HuaDing has been steering a steady course. Now it attracted a major investment from a big shot and is very likely to rise to the top. In contrast, Huangdu was divested and lost the project; besides, Di family is totally in a mess and has broken up relationship with Qin family. Faced with the striking discrepancy, even a retard knows which to choose.

Netizen three: Both of you have left out an important detail— Di Bian has three children only. The youngest one is a daughter, whose biological father is very probably another man rather than Di Bian. The second son was born of Qin Li who cuckolded Di Bian. He’s so young that people find it hard to have confidence in him, for he will probably waver between Huangdu and Qin family. His eldest son, the most reliable and ablest one, was forced by the Qin family to leave the company long ago and, in order to draw a clear line between him and Di family, actually gave up his right of inheritance. Look at the three heirs, one may not be Di Bian’s child, another is likely to amount to little, and the other has great ability but was forced to leave. It is said that Di Bian is now ill in hospital, leaving the company run by the deputy director. Given that the old captain is failing while the younger one hasn’t grown into an independent man, how could the boat avoid sinking?

Netizen four: You’re right, but I wonder who the big shot that withdrew money from Huangdu was. What a wise man! Besides, who did inject capital into HuaDing? Is he reliable?

Netizen five: He’s absolutely reliable. It’s reported that more than one companies put considerable amount of money into HuaDing. Some people have all the luck.

Discussions of netizens here were rather rational, while comments under another push notification flooded the screen, which shocked He Bai greatly.

Netizen one: The ugly Internet celeb comes to mooch popularity off Qiuhe again! Let’s teach her a lesson!

Netizen two: Divorce? I heard that Qin Li was once a mistress of Huangdu’s chairman Di Bian. Now she was divorced, and maybe replaced by another woman?

Netizen three: I really feel sorry for Qiuhe who has such scum-like father and step-mother. Oh, no, I was wrong. He will have no such partial father and evil mother from now on. Happy for him, cheers!

Netizen four: Ha-ha, Di Chunhua, the damn slut, was actually a bastard. How ridiculous it is for her to put on airs as a young master of Huangdu. I really expect to see the looks of those who licked her boots in order to make it to showbiz at Huangdu now.

Netizen five: Why some would attack the person who tells the Internet celeb off? This scoop can be proved by several photos, thus most likely to be true. He who spreads no rumor deserves no flaying. In addition, don’t you feel curious about why Di Bian and Di Chunhua were taken to hospital at the same time?

Netizen six: I’m a nurse attendant. Tell you a secret, police came when Di Bian was hospitalized. He didn’t fall ill but was pushed down the stairs. As for the suspect… it was nobody but the one in the hospital atm. You may guess that the bastard dared not believe her life story and took desperate measures. I start to take pity on Di Qiuhe now, the orthodox younger master of Di clan, who spared no effort to support the family but received no rewards at all. In Di Bian’s eyes, he was even less important than a bastard. He must be completely discouraged and left, poor thing.

… Now He Bai was pretty sure that there must be paid posters among the netizens who stayed up late leaving comments. Judging from their words, most of them spoke well of Di Qiuhe… He was quite witty to influence public opinion in advance.

He rested easy a little and felt sleepy. Turning his cell phone off, He Bai went to bed.

He who did nothing to feel guilty for was sound asleep, while those who had ulterior motives were still worried about the company’s affairs in the middle of the night.

“What’s going on? Why did Da’ze divest? His company has been investing in Huangdu since my father’s day! It is not supposed to withdraw its money even if Qin family does!” Di Bian leaning against the bed roared angrily and raised one hand to cover his forehead, his face paler.

Lawyer Wang hurriedly rang the bell at the headboard and persuaded him, “Chairman, given your health status, please relax and ease up. People are sent to negotiate the issue with person in charge of Da’ze. We guess that their divestment should be related to the separation of Huangdu and Qin family. Therefore, as long as we can guarantee that the disintegration will proceed in a gentle way and do no harm to us, they may probably change their mind.”

Hearing his words, Di Bian finally calmed him down. He moved his hand off, frowned and said, “I hope so… And, how does HuaDing come about?”

“It’s a small company which was set up a few years ago, so you don’t need to pay much attention. It’s just a stroke of luck.” Wang reported Vice Director Liu’s previous guesses and gave a hesitant look, with a document he just received in his grip.

Di Bian pulled his face and asked, “What else? Did Qin family lay down another condition? Tell them there’s no way!”

“No, they don’t.” Mr. Wang glanced at his face and whispered, “It’s your eldest son… He sent a lawyer over and returned all belongings you gave him.”

Di Bian gripped the quilt tightly, his expression kept changing. A myriad of thoughts—guilt, regret, etc.—crowded into his mind and was finally repressed. He slightly closed his eyes, saying, “Qiuhe tends to be softhearted. He’s in a temper now, but it’s okay, I’ll coax him later.”
