After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

However, the war was not truly over.

Tencent suffered a major blow overseas, with its market value evaporating by hundreds of billions overnight. This level of loss finally alarmed the true major shareholder hidden behind Tencent—the Chu family, a long-established financial tycoon in Beijing's elite circles.

The Chu family is a true behemoth in the Chinese business world. They keep a low profile, yet control the lifelines of countless industries.

Chu Tiankuo, the head of the Chu family, a cunning and ruthless old fox who has been hiding deep in the business world, has officially surfaced.

In Yanjing, within the Second Ring Road, lies a vast and luxurious courtyard house.

The courtyard is filled with precious Podocarpus macrophyllus trees, rockeries, and flowing water, exuding a strong sense of historical weight.

The main hall of the house was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Chu Tiankuo was dressed in a gray Tang suit, holding two shiny walnuts in his hands. Although he was over seventy years old, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle's, exuding a chilling coldness.

Chu Tiankuo stared at the financial statement on the table in front of him, which showed a sharp drop in overseas assets. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

"Bang!"

Chu Tiankuo suddenly grabbed the priceless Song Dynasty Ru kiln teacup from the table and smashed it hard onto the blue brick floor.

The exquisite porcelain shattered instantly, and tea spilled all over the floor.

The Chu family executives standing to the side trembled with fear and dared not utter a sound.

"What a fine Jiang Ye! What a shrewd God of Wealth from Hanzhou!"

Chu Tiankuo gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse and cold.

Having lived to such an old age, he had seen it all. He saw through Jiang Ye's tactics at a glance.

Chu Tiankuo realized that Jiang Ye, this suddenly rising young man, was no longer a small fry. The hundreds of billions of dollars in capital he controlled, along with the terrifying user stickiness of SKY SOUL, had seriously threatened the Chu family's absolute monopoly in the internet and cultural tourism sectors!

If Jiang Ye is allowed to continue developing, the foundation of the Chu family will inevitably be shaken.

Chu Tiankuo did not choose to continue to confront Jiang Ye head-on in the stock market. He knew very well that Jiang Ye was currently in high spirits and had ample cash flow, and a direct confrontation would only result in mutual destruction.

An old fox has his own way of fighting.

Chu Tiankuo sneered and immediately used the Chu family's incredibly deep network of connections in both the political and business circles to secretly investigate the past of Jiang Ye, Han Qingru, and Xia Yu.

He wanted to find the weaknesses of these three people and then strike them deadly!

……

After several days of secret investigation, Chu Tiankuo made his first move, targeting Xia Yu.

In his view, although Xia Yu spilled wine on the vice president of Tencent, ultimately, she is a businesswoman and the head of China Tourism Group. No businesswoman can be silenced by profit.

Chu Tiankuo, under the pretext of discussing a large-scale national cultural tourism project, sent someone to invite Xia Yu to one of the most exclusive private clubs in Yanjing.

This club operates on a strict membership system; you can't even get in without a net worth of billions.

Inside the antique-style private room, famous paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, and priceless agarwood burned in the corner.

Chu Tiankuo sat in the main seat, smiling as he watched Xia Yu push open the door and enter.

Xia Yu was dressed in a sharply tailored white business suit and high heels today, exuding a powerful aura, like a queen surveying her territory.

"Mr. Xia, I've heard so much about you. Please have a seat." Chu Tiankuo gestured to the mahogany chair opposite him, his tone very amiable.

Xia Yu sat down expressionlessly, looking directly at Chu Tiankuo: "Old Chu, let's not beat around the bush. What exactly did you call me here for today?"

Chu Tiankuo laughed heartily, took a thick document from his assistant behind him, and gently pushed it in front of Xia Yu.

"Since Mr. Xia is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush either."

Chu Tiankuo's smile vanished, his eyes sharpening as he offered an extremely tempting bargain:

"As long as President Xia is willing to unilaterally tear up the cooperation agreement with Kunlun Capital and lift the offline blockade against Tencent Group."

"Our Chu family will fully support Huaxia Cultural Tourism's listing on the A-share market! Furthermore, I can arrange for President Xia to directly join the core board of directors of the Chu family group, sharing all of the Chu family's political and business resources!"

The moment this condition was stated, the air in the private room seemed to freeze.

Faced with such a temptation, enough to entice, even drive any businessman mad, this was the core board of directors of the Chu family! A place so many people would kill for, struggle for generations, yet still never even get close enough to enter!

however.

Xia Yu didn't even glance at the document on the table.

Her exquisite and aloof face remained unmoved, instead revealing a deep sense of mockery.

Xia Yu stretched out her fair fingers and picked up the cup of premium Da Hong Pao tea that had just been brewed and was still steaming hot.

next second.

Under Chu Tiankuo's astonished gaze.

With a flick of her wrist, Xia Yu poured the scalding hot tea directly onto the forged "national-level project" document without any mercy!

The brown tea instantly soaked through and blurred the black ink on the white paper, turning it into a pile of steaming waste paper.

"You!" Chu Tiankuo stood up abruptly, his face turning ashen instantly.

Xia Yu also stood up. Wearing high heels, she looked down at the arrogant tycoon in front of her, her eyes full of disdain and mockery.

"Old Chu, you're too old."

Xia Yu's voice was crisp and cold, like a sharp dagger piercing Chu Tiankuo's heart.

"You're so old-fashioned, you have absolutely no idea what true contractual spirit is, or what true alliance is!"

"Jiang Ye gives me absolute trust, the confidence to entrust his back to me!"

Xia Yu pointed to the pile of mushy paper soaked in tea on the table, a cold smile playing on her lips:

"And what you've given me is nothing but dog food coated in poison. Do you really think I, Xia Yu, am the kind of dog who would wag my tail and beg for a few bones?"

Done.

Xia Yu didn't even glance at Chu Tiankuo again, turned around, and strode out of the private room in her high heels.

"Bang!"

Xia Yu slammed the heavy wooden door of the private room shut with a deafening crash.

Chu Tiankuo was left standing alone, staring at the mess on the table, his face ashen and his whole body trembling.

. . . .

Just as Xia Yu was single-handedly withstanding the immense pressure from the entire Beijing entertainment circle with an almost resolute attitude.

In the secret R&D center on the third basement floor of the Kunlun Capital headquarters building in Hanzhou, Jiang Ye and Lin Yu's top-notch technical team finally completed that epic counterattack!

For the past two weeks, Lin Yu and his team of balding programmers have practically lived and worked at the R&D center. Case after case of Red Bull has been emptied, and the sound of keyboards clattering is incessant day and night.

Finally, during this opportune moment when Tencent's overseas backyard is in turmoil and its domestic offensive has been temporarily halted, SKY SOUL software has ushered in its most significant version update since its inception!
