2014, August 18, Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven Central Jinghao Building.

As the city center of the entire Tianhai City and the center of Asia’s economy, Jinghao Building appeared different on this day.

Security was tight all over and the surrounding area was filled with armed guards. It was not just on level 99 of the building, but the entire Jinghao Building. Outsiders were not allowed near the building.

Heavenly State 24th Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting, officially begun on this day!

Due to the rapid development of society during recent years, more than twenty new influential personages were participating in this year’s meeting. The influential personages from the inner circle engaged in internal strife, those from the inner circle feared to drop out, while those from the outside wanted in. It was full of undercurrent tensions, and they each had their own domains.

As for the Qian Family represented by Qian Guangzhao and the Hong Family represented by Hong Weiguo, both giants were engaged in a life or death battle. That attracted a lot of attention!

Qian Family, in charge of energy resources! Hong Family, Internet giant! Both families were unimaginable to ordinary people. On this day, they would engage in a real battle, till one fell! It was impossible to imagine what kind of scene that would be.

Door to Heaven, Level 99.

Before, this level was the venue for the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting. This place was checked dozens of times every day. It was absolutely necessary to ensure that nobody had communication devices. Because if anything that happened there leaked out, it could impact the entire commercial district!

On this day, on level 99 of the Door to Heaven, International Convention Center, officially opened its doors.

“Old Hong, a lot of things will happen at the meeting today. Be careful.” On the way to the International Convention Center, Liu Yihui said in a deep voice to Hong Weiguo, “I got some insider news, Qian Guangzhao is intending to impeach you today, don’t pay too much attention to him.”

“I know.” Hong Weiguo smiled and replied, “Old Liu, Old Tie, If I really get impeached, both of you…”

“Don’t worry about us.” Mu Tie smiled. “The three of us are already hardcore buddies. If they dare do anything to you, there’s no way Old Liu and I can escape. One for all, all for one. At most, we will all die together, and be reborn a hero eighteen years later!”

Hearing that, Hong Weiguo felt warmth in his heart.

Previously, the three families were up against each other on the Internet. None of them would admit defeat. But now, because of his son, Hong Dali, three of them came together. Having spent so much time together, they were extremely loyal to one another. Their relationship was no joking matter.

Soon, they arrived at Door to Heaven, level 99. At the door of the International Convention Center, Hong Weiguo took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.

Inside the International Convention Center was bustling and full of people. It seemed there were already more than 600 people, and tables had been filled up. In the east of the large conference room, there were five empty chairs made of rosewood. Needless to say, they belonged to the five magnates.

There were 120 seats in the center near the east side, with a name tag on each seat. That belonged to the 120 members of the Resource Chamber of Commerce.

On the elevated round conference table were the name tags of 480 outer circle members. Further from that was a circle of about 200 seats. Part of these were nominees of the inner and outer circle members. There were about 50 people sitting there. So Cool’s Director Wu Youdao was one of them. All the nominated members of this Chamber of Commerce Meeting were not from big companies and did not dare to be late.

Hong Weiguo and the two scanned the venue and looked at each other before walking in together.

Once they appeared, several members—both the inner circle and outer circle members—turned to look. They were stunned for a while before they started to whisper into each other’s ears.

“Sangle’s Hong Weiguo is here. Aye, he’s going against the Qian Family this time. It’s definitely the highlight of this meeting!”

“That’s right. Previously, when Hong Weiguo and Qian Guangzhao were both doing the search engine business, the Qian Family suffered a crushing defeat and lost thirty billion. The hatred was deep. This time, Qian Guangzhao used Hong Dali as an excuse and is very aggressive. It won’t be easy to handle him!”

“That’s right. The rascal, Hong Dali, is up to too much mischief. To be born in such a good family, he should just stay still. But he dabbles in everything, and everything he dabbles in gets popular. It’s no wonder people get jealous.”

“That’s real capability. What to do? But if it was not for him, Qian Guangzhao would not be able to gather so many people. Sigh.”

The people discussing were all outer circle members. Even if the Hong and Qian families fought to their deaths, the outer circle members could not do anything. It would not impact them much, either. They had the mindset of watching a good show. Since it had nothing to do with them, the more exciting it was, the better it was for them.

It was not difficult to understand that anything could happen at the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting. However, previous meetings had focused mostly on the interests of the outer circle members. It was rare for the inner circle members to fight each other.

The Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting decided resource distribution for the next few years. Any small cooperation amounted to at least 50 million. Bigger international cooperations amounted from a few billion to tens of billions. Under the influence of profitable interest, who would dare not to pay attention to it?

Now that the Qian Family and the Hong Family were up against each other, that was hundreds of billions worth of operating funds. It was bound to be an earth-shattering scene.

Hearing the discussions, although Hong Weiguo could not hear their full content, he understood most of it. There were probably no nice words, just about the battle between himself and the Qian Family.

Hong Weiguo didn’t need to get angry with petty members from the outer circle.

The three of them walked toward their seats. Several members from the inner circle still greeted them—

“CEO Hong is there. It’s tough this time. You must be careful.” “That’s right, CEO Hong. Although we’re not on the same team, everyone just wants to live. Don’t mind too much, CEO Hong.” “Aye, why don’t you make up with Old Qian? As long as we live in this world, such things will happen. It’s just profit. There isn’t much conflict between your families, there’s no need to fight each other to death.”

People around either persuaded or showed their stand. Hong Weiguo didn’t mind what they said. To each their own. If the fight with Qian Guangzhao really happened, he just had to focus on one target—injuring all of a man’s fingers was not as effective as chopping off one of them 1

“Haha. Thank you for everyone’s reminder. Regardless, there must be an end to the grudge between me and Qian Guangzhao.” Hong Weiguo bowed to the people around respectfully. Although they were on different sides, it was inevitable for them to cross paths. Everyone knew each other, there was no need to make so many enemies.

Sitting among the crowd was Black Widow Wang Yingqiu. She was in the same black old suit. She appeared despondent as she looked at Hong Weiguo. When Hong Weiguo was younger, he was a known refined gentleman, charming and chivalrous. Wang Yingqiu was also a beauty and had been dazzled by his charms.

But Hong Weiguo chose Lan Ruoxi over her. Till now, Wang Yingqiu felt regretful.

She did not hate Hong Weiguo. They were just not meant to be together. On this day, as the meeting officially began, with the storm brewing inside, there was no way outsiders could guess what would happen next.

“Weiguo,” When Hong Weiguo sat down, Wang Yingqiu who was sitting in front turned around. She said calmly, “If you fail, don’t forget to look for me. No matter what… forget it. Just know that I will not harm you.”

Hearing that, Hong Weiguo shook his head helplessly. He had always been above board and straightforward and never got involved in anything despicable. His love for Lan Ruoxi was deep. How could he not understand what Wang Yingqiu meant? He could only smile faintly. “If you could show mercy, I will be grateful.”

“Sigh…” Wang Yingqiu sighed softly. Destiny made fools of people.

A new ally, Gong Zhiwen, moved closer and changed his name card with another. He grinned. “CEO Hong, it won’t be easy this time. I heard Qian Guangzhao has gathered many people. He intends to have a showdown.”

“I know.” Hong Weiguo patted his shoulder fiercely. “How are the preparations?”

“Everything is going according to plan. Qian Guangzhao has gathered so many people, naturally, we wouldn’t just sit here and wait for him to attack.” Gong Zhiwen looked around the venue and whispered, “But CEO Hong, are you sure… it will work?”

“It should.” Hong Weiguo took a deep breath. “I’m confident!”

As they spoke, it suddenly became silent. Hong Weiguo and the others looked in the door’s direction. Indeed, Qian Guangzhao walked in wearing a gray suit and well-polished leather shoes. He looked cocky as he walked in, and it seemed he would have wished to have some music to match his entrance.

Qian Guangzhao strutted towards Hong Weiguo and laughed. “Aiya, Weiguo, we’ve been fighting since we started on the search engines till now. To be honest, seeing that you will fall soon, I feel… grieved!”

He spoke casually but was staring hard at Hong Weiguo. The coldness in his voice could turn water to ice.

Alas, Hong Weiguo didn’t care about him. In front of everyone, Hong Weiguo actually did something unexpected!

He laughed, raised his left hand facing Qian Guangzhao, and pointed out his middle finger!
