Hearing Lin Beichen’s earnest advice, Huo Minghao felt a trace of emotion in his heart. He knew the market share of Huo Group meant a lot to the company.

As expected, in the following two days, Wang Zhangmin and Liu Wei joined forces, launching a fierce offensive against Huo Group. Their cooperation was extremely tacit, as if they had telepathy, directly implementing a siege strategy on Huo Group, causing it to fall into an inextricable predicament in a short time.

"Mr. Huo, our company’s order volume continues to decline, and the situation is becoming increasingly unpromising." A key department member entered the office, reporting the latest situation to Huo Minghao.

Huo Minghao sat at his desk, listening to the subordinate’s report, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

During this period, he constantly received bad news from various departments, as if the whole world was against him.

"Mr. Huo, just now the advertising department sent another message; one of our partner companies wants to terminate the partnership with us." Before Huo Minghao could regain his composure, another subordinate hurriedly entered the office, bringing worse news.

The pen in Huo Minghao’s hand paused unconsciously, and he struggled to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart, trying to stay calm.

He knew it wasn’t the time to lose his temper; he had to quickly come up with a strategy to cope with the crisis at hand.

"Attention, everyone, I want to see a list of all clients we can still communicate with by 3 p.m. this afternoon." Huo Minghao said in a deep voice, his tone firm and undeniable, though his voice was not loud.

Huo Minghao’s decisive actions made the atmosphere in the office tense, and the subordinates promptly took their orders and started to get busy.

For a moment, the office was bustling with people coming and going. However, as the subordinates gradually left, the office slowly returned to calm.

Only then did Huo Minghao finally have a chance to catch his breath. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and Lin Beichen’s figure appeared in his mind. He knew that he could face the crisis so calmly now, thanks to Lin Beichen’s reminders and advice.

"Damn it!" When the office was left with only him, Huo Minghao couldn’t help but curse softly. Thinking about the smug faces of Wang Zhangmin and Liu Wei, he felt extremely angry and unwilling.

Huo Group’s order volume continued to decline, leading to severe losses.

Originally, Huo Group had already suffered a severe blow, and now, encountering such an attack is simply adding insult to injury.

Wang Zhangmin and Liu Wei clearly aimed to crush Huo Group in one fell swoop.

For a while, news spread in the industry that Huo Group was in trouble. Many partners chose to exit and no longer cooperate with Huo Group.

The cruel and merciless nature of the business world was vividly demonstrated at this moment, "A businessman treasures profit over separation," as the phrase echoed in Huo Minghao’s ears.

Looking at the former glory of Huo Group fading away, those who once had good relations with Huo Group also turned their backs one after another.

Fewer and fewer people stood on the side of Huo Group, and Huo Minghao felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and helplessness.

However, just as Wang Zhangmin and Liu Wei thought Huo Group was on its last legs, an unexpected message arrived: a portion of Wang Group’s stocks were being sold off in large quantities. This move directly led to a sharp decline in Wang Group’s valuation, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to them.

Without much thought, Huo Minghao knew it was Lin Beichen secretly helping Huo Group to tide over the crisis. Lin Beichen’s maneuver not only lowered Wang Group’s valuation but also distracted their attention from fighting Huo Group. They had to divert some time and resources to deal with the losses caused by the stock sell-off.

As a result, Huo Minghao could finally heave a sigh of relief. He took the opportunity to restart negotiations with some investors, trying to salvage the decline of Huo Group.

On the other hand, the Wang Group was in turmoil over the matter. Wang Zhangmin urgently convened a shareholders’ meeting, trying to find the culprit behind the massive stock sell-off. He was convinced it was the work of an insider.

The atmosphere at the shareholders’ meeting was tense to the extreme, like the calm before a storm. Shareholders looked at each other, filled with doubts and unease. Wang Zhangmin was furious, angrily scolding the shareholders who might have betrayed the company.

"If someone wasn’t playing tricks behind the scenes, would our group have fallen to this point? If any shareholder here did it, I hope you will stand up and admit it now!" Wang Zhangmin’s voice was deafening, echoing throughout the conference room.

However, none of the shareholders present admitted to their crime. They looked at each other, all claiming to know nothing about the matter.

"Mr. Wang, we are also part of the company’s shareholders. Now that the market value of Wang Group has fallen, as part of the company, how can we deliberately sell stocks to harm our own interests?" Finally, a bold shareholder stood up and voiced the doubts everyone had.

Hearing the shareholder’s words, Wang Zhangmin gradually calmed down. He began to carefully think through the ins and outs of the matter, realizing that it was indeed not wise to easily suspect his shareholders. After all, they had common interests, and it was not beneficial for them to harm shareholder interests.

After the shareholders’ meeting, Wang Zhangmin immediately sent his most capable subordinate to investigate the matter. He analyzed rationally: "Make sure to carefully check the people around Huo Minghao, they are the most suspicious. Once you have a result, report it to me immediately!"

Determined, Wang Zhangmin was to find the culprit behind the stock sell-off and make them pay the price they deserved.

Meanwhile, Lin Beichen, for helping Huo Minghao, received warm invitations from him.

When the two met, they didn’t talk endlessly like on the phone; instead, they sat there quietly, expressing their feelings to each other.

Huo Minghao told Lin Beichen about all the difficulties Huo Group had experienced in recent days and the troubles it had brought him.

He said emotionally, "To be honest, I really didn’t expect you to take such a big risk to help me."

At this time, Huo Minghao was already slightly drunk, and under the influence of alcohol, he poured out all the distress in his heart.

These days, he had been under tremendous pressure, and now he finally had a chance to vent.

Lin Beichen quietly listened to Huo Minghao’s confessions, full of emotion.

He said, "Of course, I will help you. I have a lot of ties with Huo Group; maybe that’s the connection between us."

Saying this, he put down the wine glass in his hand, eyes flashing with determined light.

In this event, Lin Beichen didn’t spend a lot of money but cleverly set up a secret war.

He wanted to give Wang Zhangmin and Liu Wei a surprise attack at a critical moment.

To this end, he had secretly bought a large number of Wang Group’s stocks, preparing to sell them all at once at the next appropriate time, triggering stock market fluctuations and chain reactions.

However, business games are always full of variables and risks. No one can always gain profits, nor will they always lose.

After several days of tense investigations within Wang Group, they finally tracked down a suspicious IP address.

This discovery made Wang Group’s internal members firmly believe that the person who bought a large number of stocks was Lin Beichen.

Hearing this result, Wang Zhangmin was not too surprised. He had long considered Lin Beichen a key suspect, just didn’t expect Lin Beichen to act so neatly and efficiently this time.
