My capital is quite large.

Chapter 116 Huddling Together for Warmth

May 1st, evening.

In the heart of Nanjing, inside Liu Shishi's 300-square-meter fully furnished apartment, the lighting was soft, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of red wine.

When Ni Ni pushed open the door and entered the apartment, which had the same layout as hers but was decorated in a much warmer style, there were already several people sitting in the living room.

Besides Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Li Xin, who greeted them with smiles, a young girl with an exotic air sat obediently on a single sofa at the edge of the living room.

"Sister Ni Ni, you're here! Come and sit down!"

Liu Shishi warmly took Ni Ni's hand and led her to the main seat on the sofa, pouring her a glass of freshly decanted Romanée-Conti.

"Everyone usually works on different film sets, so it's rare to get together like this during the May Day holiday."

Liu Shishi picked up her wine glass, her usually serene face now revealing a clear understanding of the world of fame and fortune. "Today, there are no outsiders here. We're all good sisters. Let's close the door and have a heart-to-heart talk."

Ni Ni took the wine glass, subtly surveyed the people present, and nodded with a smile: "Shi Shi is right. It's a blessing to have a few close sisters in the company."

"Ni Ni, actually, we're all pretty much the same. Deep down, we all don't like to show off."

Tang Yan picked up the conversation, her tone tinged with helplessness and sighing, "But the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. Look at the company now, how fiercely Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are fighting, both openly and secretly, for that 'Haofeng's Number One Female Star' position!"

"Yifei brought along the 'Fairy Sister's' territory, and Yang Mi was an even more relentless workaholic, willing to use any means necessary."

Those two up there are having a fierce battle, and we down here, if we don't stick together for warmth, we'll inevitably get caught in the crossfire of their conflict sooner or later.

Hearing Tang Yan so bluntly state the company's situation, Ni Ni's heart skipped a beat.

She knew Tang Yan was right. No matter how much resources the boss had, they were still limited. If two tigers fought, and they didn't form an alliance, they would be marginalized sooner or later.

"So, the four of us really need to stick together and share our resources."

Liu Shishi looked at Ni Ni and sincerely brought up the main event of the evening: "Ni Ni, we all know you're aiming for high-end films, but in this era of internet traffic, relying solely on movies to gain exposure is too slow."

"Tangtang and I have discussed it, and our company's film and television department happens to have a few excellent scripts for big-budget TV dramas. Next year, we'll team up and film two major dramas!"

Tang Yan pulled out two script outlines from her bag and pushed them in front of Ni Ni.

"One is the modern urban romance drama 'My Sunshine,' and the other is the period martial arts drama 'The Vigilantes in Masks'!"

"Shi Shi and I went to talk to Lao Han and suggested that we take turns playing dual female leads or supporting roles to boost each other's popularity. Just like Shi Shi and I are currently filming 'Xuan-Yuan Sword,' we can exchange resources and help each other gain exposure. With a solid foundation of national recognition in television dramas, your position on the big screen will be more secure!"

Looking at the two top-tier TV drama scripts pushed in front of her, scripts that would make countless young actresses fight tooth and nail for, Ni Ni's breathing became rapid.

That's the benefit of sticking together! She didn't need to beg anyone; her group of friends delivered the resources that could fill her gaps right to her fingertips!

"Shishi, Tangtang... thank you." Ni Ni's eyes reddened. This time, she was truly moved by this heartfelt "sincerity."

"Don't thank me yet."

Tang Yan changed the subject abruptly, her gaze suddenly falling on Nazha, who had been too afraid to interrupt.

"Ni Ni, you know our boss's temper. I heard that recently a lot of film and television companies and bosses have been trying to put newcomers around him to build connections, but they've all been blocked by Secretary Zhang."

"Nazha has such a good foundation, and she's also very sensible."

"When we sisters go to Zijin Mountain to serve others in the future, we'll take this little sister with us if we have the chance, so we can all go together..."

At this point, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi's cheeks flushed slightly, but their eyes remained resolute.

"If we bring her out here, she'll naturally be on our side from now on. Only by helping each other can we reap long-term benefits from Haofeng."

Seeing Tang Yan's meaningful gaze, Ni Ni understood immediately.

They're using Nazha as a fresh bargaining chip for their faction to solidify their power!

In the entertainment industry, a veritable melting pot, so-called integrity is worthless. Since you're already on this boat, maximizing your profits is the only option!

"I see."

Ni Ni picked up her wine glass, and all the anxiety in her eyes vanished.

"From now on, we are one family. We share both prosperity and adversity!"

The four wine glasses, along with the juice in Nazha's hand, gently clinked together in mid-air.

……

The next day, at 10 a.m.

At Jinling Zijinshan Manor, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blackout curtains, illuminating the luxuriously messy bed.

Li Feng was still fast asleep, his arms tightly embracing a soft, snow-white body.

Last night, the fairy sister almost wept uncontrollably as she groveled before him, until she finally collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep just before dawn.

"Click".

The bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Zhang Xinyu walked barefoot on the carpet, her expression anxious, to the bedside.

She glanced at Liu Yifei, who was still curled up asleep in Li Feng's arms, gritted her teeth, and gently pushed Li Feng's shoulder.

"Boss... Boss, wake up..."

Li Feng frowned slightly and opened his eyes with some displeasure.

He has never liked being disturbed when he is resting.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Li Feng lowered his voice, trying not to wake Liu Yifei in his arms.

Zhang Xinyu's face turned deathly pale. She leaned close to Li Feng's ear and said, "Boss, something terrible has happened! The company just called, and Lao Chen and Lao Han are frantic!"

"Tencent has made its move! They forced QQ Doctor to upgrade, classifying all PC software under Haofeng Network as Trojan viruses. Now, every time internet users across the country open our software, a pop-up window will block it!"

Trojan virus?!

Upon hearing these four words, Li Feng's previously somewhat lazy gaze turned as cold and sharp as a knife!

All sleepiness vanished in that instant!

Tencent has finally revealed its true colors, abandoning even the last shred of pretense by unplugging the network cable from users' computers!

"understood."

Li Feng remained calm, gently removing Liu Yifei's arm from his waist, lifting the covers, and getting out of bed.

"Get the car ready, we're heading back to the company right away."

……

Half an hour later, at the top-floor conference room of Haofeng Networks headquarters building.

"Bang!"

The conference room door was pushed open, and Li Feng strode in, bringing with him a chilling aura, and sat down in the main seat.

"Tell me the details!" Li Feng said in a deep voice.

Technical Director Chen stood up, sweating profusely: "President Li! Tencent is shameless! Starting at 8 AM this morning, users across the country who have installed 'QQ Doctor' and run our 'iQiyi PC version,' 'Three Kingdoms Kill Online,' or even 'Soda Music' will immediately receive a bright red high-risk warning from QQ Doctor!"

"Users are warned that this software contains malicious Trojans and are advised to uninstall it immediately! If users choose to ignore this, QQ Doctor will cut off our software's internet connection in the background! Currently, the number of users online on our PC is plummeting at an alarming rate!"

"Mr. Li, this is the behavior of malware! If this continues, our PC market will be completely destroyed!"

After listening to Lao Chen's report, all the executives present were filled with righteous indignation.

"Mr. Li, let's call the police! Or let the legal department apply for an emergency injunction from the court!" Old Han slammed his fist on the table in a panic.

However, Li Feng, who was sitting in the main seat, just gave a cold laugh.

"Call the police? Apply for an injunction? By the time the court completes its lengthy evidence collection and hearing process, our PC users will have been completely wiped out!"

"Pony Ma's move is a thuggish tactic of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own. He's calculated the lag in the law and wants to use his low-level authority to physically exonerate us!"

Since the penguin has flipped the table, then everyone should stop playing!

"Relay my orders!"

"First, have the public relations department draft the strongest-worded announcement across the entire internet! Push it out through our Haofeng Weibo account, Bilibili, and major portal websites! Strongly condemn Tencent Group for abusing its security software dominance, maliciously smearing competitors, and infringing on users' right to choose!"

"Secondly, the Ministry of Justice should act immediately! Not only should we sue Tencent for unfair competition in the Jinling Intermediate People's Court, but we should also file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Anti-Monopoly Bureau regarding Tencent's rogue behavior!"

At this point, Li Feng's gaze swept across the entire arena, and he unleashed his most crucial counterattack move of the day.

"Since he's holding us back at the lowest level of the computer system, let's find an ally who can dig up Tencent's ancestral graves at the lowest level!"

Li Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang Xinyu.

"Xinyu!"

"Boss!"

"Book me a plane ticket to Yanjing right now! And also, arrange a meeting with someone for me!"

Li Feng pronounced the name slowly and deliberately:

"Zhou Hongyi!"

360! Zhou Hongyi!

When the executives present heard the name, they were first taken aback, and then their eyes lit up!

No matter how rogue QQ Doctor may be, in the field of computer security in China, the real kingpin is 360 Security Guard, which accounts for more than 80% of computer installations in China!
