First meeting the childhood goddess Taohong

"Haha, you little rascal," Wu Youwei said straightforwardly.

"I heard you've been clashing with the Shen Family's Anren Group recently?"

"It seems so. Did it alarm you so quickly?" Facing Uncle Wu, Chen Dong naturally didn't hide anything; at least Uncle Wu wouldn't harm him.

"Still trying to play dumb with me? You don't know the impact of your news. It has already alarmed several bigwigs in the capital. This morning, both Zhao Chang and I received several calls from above."

Wu Youwei sighed softly.

"Dongzi, tell someone to quickly retract that news. If there's anything, let's talk about it behind closed doors."

"Uncle Wu, I don't like what you're saying. This news is the freedom of the media. They haven't spread rumors or slandered anyone, so why can't they publish it?

How could I have the ability to just tell people to retract all the news?

Besides, Anren Pharmaceutical having problems isn't a one or two-time occurrence. It's been reported in the news several times before, but what was the result?

Which time wasn't it just finding someone to take the blame, apologizing, and paying some money to settle it?

In the past, information wasn't developed enough. As long as you controlled the TV stations and newspapers, you could rest easy, since other ordinary people wouldn't know.

But times have changed. Network information is increasingly developed. If such an immoral act is done, a retweet on Weibo and a post on QQ can immediately make it known to everyone."

Wu Youwei's expression on the other end of the phone was a bit grim. He hadn't expected Chen Dong to refuse so directly. He had thought that with him personally intervening, Chen Dong would at least give him some face.

"Dongzi, but don't you know that this situation makes our department very passive? The higher-ups are pressing us for an explanation."

"Uncle Wu, is your passive situation caused by me?

If the higher-ups are asking you for an explanation, then quickly organize forces to investigate! Don't just know how to make things difficult for the reporters and news agencies who publish the news.

I actually think that these reporters and news agencies who dare to speak out for the people should be commended, and they should even be given bonuses!"

"Dongzi, tell me, what will it take for you to stop?" Wu Youwei finally understood. This kid wouldn't give up without seeing some benefit. He wouldn't back down without a good reason.

"Mayor Wu, I think you should ask Shen Xingyu. What will it take for him to let go of me, let go of Dongsheng Group, and let go of my Dongsheng Group executives?

You probably don't know what good deeds he has done, do you? My company's vice president, my most capable subordinate, her only daughter was almost killed by him?

If my power were a little weaker, I would be attending her funeral right now!

Tell me, how should I compromise?

If I compromise today and compromise tomorrow, I might as well just jump off the Dongsheng Group building!"

Wu Youwei hung up the phone, his brows tightly furrowed, and hurried to Zhao Chang's office.

Chen Dong, however, didn't care at all and called for Xu Wanying.

"Sister Wanying, find a dedicated person to closely monitor the stocks of Anren Group's several subsidiaries. They should continue to fall in the coming days, and we'll prepare to buy at the bottom."

Among Anren Group's subsidiaries, there are four listed companies.

Anren Pharmaceutical, the smallest in volume, with a market value of about 4 billion!

Anren Clothing, second in volume, with a market value of about 8 billion. The reason this clothing factory is so large is because it has many offline stores, basically spread throughout Dragon Nation, which Chen Dong envies.

Anren Entertainment, with a market value of about 15 billion. The high market value of an entertainment company is due to its cinema chain! Currently, Anren Entertainment's cinema chain ranks third in Dragon Nation, second only to the leaders in the capital and the demon capital, with considerable revenue. It also has many artists and has invested in many films and TV series.

Anren Real Estate, with a market value of about 30 billion. Several large shopping malls in Jinghai and many office buildings belong to them, and they have already entered developed areas such as the capital, the demon capital, Mountain City, Sheep City, Guangdu, and Shenzhen City.

As for other miscellaneous industries, such as transportation logistics, mining, Kangrui Hospital, and other various industries, they are not listed.

With Anren Pharmaceutical's incident, the stocks of its four listed companies will inevitably shrink significantly, and Anren's market value will also fall considerably.

After explaining all this, Chen Dong comfortably leaned back in his boss chair, remembering that Mei Qing said HappyArt had a friend who wanted to see him, and quickly called Zhao Yanran.

"Yanran, tell HappyArt, the manager of Dongsheng Entertainment, to have her friend come to my office."

"Okay, Boss."

Within a few minutes, HappyArt brought a woman into Chen Dong's office.

"Boss, this is my good friend, Peach Red. I'm sure Boss has seen her works. The most famous one is 'Spring Brilliant Pig Bajie' from over 10 years ago."

Peach Red, he definitely knew her.

At that time, Chen Dong was only 10 years old, and the Little Dragon Girl played by Peach Red on screen was regarded by his innocent self as an immortal fairy from heaven!

"Mr. Chen, hello." Peach Red was 40 years old this year, but her face was still beautiful and extremely well-maintained, with delicate and tender skin and a graceful figure. There were no traces of time on her.

Chen Dong was momentarily dazed, even feeling a bit unreal. So, this is what it means to be a rich person?

At this moment, Peach Red stood before him, just like his subordinate, with respect, admiration, and even a hint of fervor in her eyes.

That's right, it was fervor, a burning desire to pounce on him.

Chen Dong was no longer the innocent young man who knew nothing when he first reincarnated. After experiencing so many beautiful sights along the way and meeting all kinds of people, his gaze had become discerning.

Without saying he had mind-reading abilities, he could keenly capture the emotions hidden in the other person's eyes.

"Sister Tao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I grew up watching your TV shows, and today I finally get to meet you in person. You'll have to sign an autograph for me later."

Chen Dong smiled heartily, stood up, and motioned for Peach Red to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

HappyArt discreetly withdrew, leaving the space to Chen Dong and Peach Red.

Zhao Yanru came over and poured two cups of tea, which had already been switched to Xinyang Maojian. She felt a hint of hostility in her gaze towards Peach Red.

No need to think, this woman must be here to seduce the boss, probably some kind of scammer looking for money and sex.

Helplessly, she was just a small secretary. Zhao Yanru put down the tea, glared at Peach Red, and then walked out of the office, turning back three times, closing the door behind her.

"Sister Tao, you specially came all the way from the capital to Jinghai to see me. Is there something you need?" Chen Dong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from this beautiful older sister, Chen Dong's mind kept replaying the TV shows he had watched.

At that time, he used to fantasize: How wonderful would it be if such a beautiful woman could become his wife in the future!

Now, this woman was sitting right in front of him. Although it was impossible for her to become his wife, leaving behind a beautiful memory shouldn't be a problem.

Although ten years had passed, she had also grown from an innocent girl into an intellectual older sister.

But there's a saying that goes, "Young and ignorant of the goodness of older sisters, mistaking young girls for treasures."

Chen Dong naturally wouldn't believe it entirely. Liking older sisters depends on how old the man is—

It's normal for a man in his twenties to like older sisters, but it would be a bit difficult to ask a man in his forties or fifties to like older sisters!

Overall, women who are either youthful or mature with a touch of charm are the most attractive.
