Chapter 345 - 319: Two-Protect-One Canyon Game? Who Did They Offend
Chapter 345: Chapter 319: Two-Protect-One Canyon Game? Who Did They Offend
There’s nothing more tragic for a person than ignorant confidence.
Gaoxun’s skewed perception of Ye Ling stemmed mainly from his own ignorance.
Had he been a bit more powerful, his perspective a bit broader, he would have surely caught wind of the rumors surrounding Ye Ling.
While it was true that Ye Ling always operated from behind the scenes, it was impossible for him to stay completely detached.
Thus, sometimes, ignorance can truly lead one into a desperate predicament.
...
Around 11 p.m., Gaoxun took two party girls to a nearby five-star hotel for a legendary round of the ’two-on-one canyon game.’
This particular game clearly took a lot out of Gaoxun, as he slept soundly until noon the next day.
And while Gaoxun was lost in dreamland, an assault against Tianxun Group had already begun.
At seven in the morning, Shengding Group suddenly announced the termination of its partnership with Tianxun Group, placing them on its collaboration blacklist.
That’s right!
It was just a simple announcement, with no reason provided whatsoever.
Shengding Group was no longer the company it once was. With its current strength, dealing with Tianxun Group would be easier than easy.
The publication of this single piece of information instantly caused a massive stir online.
’What company is this Tianxun Group? Why have I never heard of them before?’
’Shengding Group has really reclaimed its former glory. Looks like the landscape of the internet industry is about to change!’
...
Countless netizens jumped into the discussion.
Shengding Group’s current influence was now nearly on par with top-tier internet giants like Penguin.
Thus, an announcement so full of warlike intent easily captured the entire internet’s attention!
Soon, information on Tianxun Group was dug up by the omniscient netizens.
’This Tianxun Group is a real estate company? Why would they have a partnership with Shengding Group?’
’To answer the person above, Shengding Group recently proposed an IP integration strategy. They plan to merge the cultural and physical industries to create a true cultural ecosystem, so of course they’d be cooperating with a real estate company!’
’But that brings us back to the question... what in the world did Tianxun Group do to make Shengding Group this furious?’
’Rumor has it, someone from Tianxun offended Shengding Group’s mysterious princeling!’
...
In fact, with Shengding Group’s recent meteoric rise, Ye Ling’s identity had become a subject of intense speculation among netizens.
However, due to Ye Ling’s deliberate efforts to block information, his identity was never fully exposed to the public, with only scattered bits and pieces leaking out.
The story was that Shengding Group had recently undergone a sudden change in leadership, with a young man in his twenties taking over as the new chairman!
Upon taking the helm, this young man immediately implemented sweeping reforms. In less than a year, he had restored Shengding Group to its former glory, bringing it back to the center of the internet stage.
In other words, without him, Shengding Group would never have achieved its present status.
...
Tianxun Group Building.
Top Floor.
A middle-aged man sat in a brightly lit office.
"What in the world is going on?"
The middle-aged man roared, looking at the report his subordinate had brought in.
This man was Gao Tian, Gaoxun’s father, and the chairman of Tianxun Group.
Facing Gao Tian’s roar, his young assistant didn’t dare to look up, her head hung low.
"Our partnership with Shengding Group has always been perfectly smooth. Why is this happening now?"
Gao Tian’s gaze was heavy with solemnity.
Shengding Group was simply too important to Tianxun Group. If Shengding truly blacklisted them this time, it would inflict a crippling blow on Tianxun.
Especially given this year’s stagnant global economy, Shengding Group’s sudden betrayal was, without a doubt, like pouring salt on a wound for Tianxun Group.
"Chairman, according to the news online... it seems someone from our group offended someone from Shengding Group."
The young assistant replied in a low voice.
"Offended someone?"
Gao Tian froze for a moment. His first thought was of Gaoxun.
He knew his only son all too well; Gaoxun was an absolute troublemaker.
Gao Tian had known about Gaoxun’s high-profile displays of wealth online, but he had always indulged him!
A few years ago, he had used his connections to send Gaoxun to study abroad through Modu University, partly just to get the kid out of the country to cool his heels for a while.
And now, this had happened not long after Gaoxun returned. It was hard for Gao Tian not to pin the blame on him.
"Get Shengding Group on the line for me!" Gao Tian shook his head, sweeping the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and said to his young assistant.
"Yes, Chairman!"
The young assistant nodded immediately and dialed Shengding Group’s contact number.
About ten seconds later, the assistant’s brow furrowed. She dialed the number again... after another ten seconds or so, there was still no answer.
"What’s wrong?" Gao Tian asked, his brow furrowing with impatience.
"It seems no one is answering. I’ll try again..." the young assistant said hurriedly, immediately dialing a different number.
