Chapter 210: Breaking the Deadlock

A storm erupted in Beijing’s business circles when a powerful figure from the Capital Club was found dead within the club’s premises. The news spread like a hurricane, sweeping through the entire business world…

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufan was deeply shaken. He felt as if he had overlooked something, or perhaps everything was just too coincidental—so suspiciously convenient that he couldn’t help but suspect someone was secretly pulling strings behind the scenes.

Xiao Yufan firmly believed in one thing: Tian Xuan would never deceive him. Since Tian Xuan hadn’t delivered a fatal blow, he wondered who else could have been responsible. The entire incident felt too strange.

“Whatever comes, we’ll meet it head-on. For now, we can only take it one step at a time…”

Xiao Yufan mused silently. He believed the Capital Club wouldn’t pin this incident on him directly. As long as they didn’t exert serious pressure on Huihuang Group, there wouldn’t be too many additional troubles.

With a strong leadership team and solid financial backing, Huihuang had no significant internal worries. Therefore, Xiao Yufan wasn’t overly concerned. He also understood why his grandfather had sent Team Tian to Beijing—most likely to assist him in resolving issues that couldn’t be tackled through conventional business strategies.

A storm has swept through the Beijing business circle. A prominent figure from the Capital Club has died within the club’s premises, and this news has spread like a hurricane across the entire business world…

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yufan was also deeply shaken. He felt as if he had missed something, or perhaps that many things were too coincidental—so coincidental that he couldn’t help but suspect someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Xiao Yufan naturally believed one thing for certain: Tianxuan would not deceive him. Since Tianxuan had not delivered the fatal blow, who then was the one who did it? The entire situation seemed far too bizarre.

“Come what may, we’ll deal with it as it comes. For now, we can only take it one step at a time…”

Xiao Yufan thought to himself. The Capital Club likely wouldn’t pin this incident on him. As long as they didn’t exert any substantial pressure on Huihuang, there wouldn’t be too many other issues to worry about.

With a robust leadership team and a solid financial chain, Huihuang’s development faced few internal concerns. Therefore, Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried. Moreover, he understood why his grandfather had sent the Tian Group to Beijing—it was probably to help him resolve issues that couldn’t be solved through conventional business means.

In Huihuang’s conference room sat the company’s true top executives. Compared to half a month ago, each of their faces now carried a bit more confidence. Indeed, Huihuang’s development had far exceeded their expectations.

As he watched the familiar faces take their seats, Xiao Yufan’s smile grew broader. He had witnessed everyone’s hard work, and Huihuang’s rise from its low point was entirely due to their relentless efforts.

“I’m not some grim reaper, so why so tense? The reason I’ve gathered everyone here today is simply to discuss Huihuang’s future development path. Brainstorming together is always faster than me thinking alone!”

Xiao Yufan looked at the slightly uneasy crowd and chuckled lightly. His words helped ease the stiff atmosphere. He stretched and leaned back in his chair.

“Since no one is speaking, I’ll start the ball rolling. Huihuang’s internal issues are mostly resolved. What we need to do next is break through the external barriers—the monopolies formed by other companies.”

Ma Teng’s current position in Huihuang was no less significant than that of Huang Tao, the former manager. The development of Tengfan Enterprise could be considered legendary. Leading a company to such heights was a testament to Ma Teng’s managerial prowess.

“If we can’t break this deadlock, Huihuang’s development will face significant constraints, and the company will enter a very awkward situation…”

Yu Yihan clasped her hands tightly, her delicate brows furrowed, adding a touch of captivating charm. As the company’s beautiful manager, her words often carried more weight than many others. As soon as she spoke, everyone in the room nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yufan could only offer a faint smile.

Xiao Yufan was well aware of this. After years of stagnation, Huihuang had missed many opportunities. If they couldn’t break through the economic barriers formed by Beijing’s business circle, even without the Capital Club’s interference, Huihuang would continue its downward spiral.

“What Huihuang lacks now is a medium—a way to spread the word about Huihuang’s transformation. Many have already noticed Huihuang, but they’re merely watching from afar. Only by pushing Huihuang higher can we make them truly recognize us again!”

Just as everyone was pondering how to break the deadlock, a young man who had once vowed to turn ten million into thirty million stood up from the corner of the conference room. He was Huihuang’s rising star, Chen Xiaohua…

“A medium?” Hearing this, Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, then a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. It seemed he had overlooked something crucial…

“Exactly. We can use the power of the media or other platforms to propel Huihuang to the top in the court of public opinion. Then, through various channels, we can seek larger markets. After all, economic barriers can’t cover everything!”

Chen Xiaohua’s gaze swept over the many Huihuang executives, devoid of any emotion. He had once come to Huihuang with grand ambitions, only to find it was no longer the same. But since Xiao Yufan joined the company, he had seen hope. As a Stanford MBA graduate, he no longer needed to hide his talents, for he possessed the ability to command respect.

“Good, then I’ll leave this matter entirely in your hands. As for the media channels, I’ll take care of that. Huihuang will never overlook someone with talent!”

Looking at that slightly flamboyant face, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but recall the times when Chen Xiaohua had been frustrated and unfulfilled. Given that, how could he let go of a potential thoroughbred with limitless potential? Moreover, he had already thought of the perfect medium—Lin Jiayao, who was already on the pedestal, would undoubtedly be the best choice…

Watching the familiar faces file in one by one, Xiao Yufan’s smile grew warmer. He saw clearly the efforts everyone had made. It was precisely because of their perseverance that Huihuang had managed to climb out of its slump.

“I’m not some bringer of doom, so why so tense? Today, I’ve gathered you all here simply to discuss Huihuang’s future development strategy. Pooling our wisdom will definitely be faster than thinking alone!”

Noticing the slight discomfort among the attendees, Xiao Yufan offered a light smile, easing the tense atmosphere. He stretched lazily and leaned back in his chair.

“Well then, since no one’s speaking up, I’ll go first. Most of Huihuang’s internal issues have been resolved. Now, our next step is to break through the external barriers—specifically, the monopolies formed by other enterprises!”

Ma Teng’s position within Huihuang now rivaled that of the former manager, Huang Tao. The rise of Tengfan Enterprise was nearly legendary. Successfully elevating a company to such heights was proof enough of Ma Teng’s exceptional management skills.

“If we can’t break this deadlock, Huihuang’s growth will face serious constraints, and the company will find itself in a very awkward position…”

Yu Yihan tightened her fingers slightly, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. This added a touch of charming grace to her demeanor. As a beautiful and influential manager, her words often carried more weight than many others’. As soon as she spoke, the attendees nodded in agreement, while Xiao Yufan merely offered a faint smile.

Xiao Yufan naturally understood this point very well. After several years of stagnation, Huihuang had missed many opportunities. If they couldn’t break through the economic barriers formed by Beijing’s business circles, the company would continue its downward spiral—even without interference from the Capital Club.

“What Huihuang lacks now is a medium, a channel to spread awareness of our transformation. Many people have noticed Huihuang, but they’re only watching from the sidelines. Only by elevating Huihuang’s profile can we change how people perceive us!”

As everyone pondered how to break the stalemate, a young man suddenly stood up from a corner of the room. This was Chen Xiaohua, the ambitious figure who once vowed to turn ten million into thirty million—an emerging star within Huihuang.

“A medium?” Xiao Yufan paused for a moment, then a glimmer of delight flickered in his eyes. He realized he had overlooked something crucial…

“Exactly! We can use media or other platforms to elevate Huihuang’s public image. Then, through various channels, we can seek broader markets. After all, no economic monopoly can cover every angle!”

Chen Xiaohua’s gaze swept across the senior executives of Huihuang, his expression calm and composed. Once, he had come to Huihuang full of ambition, only to find the company in decline. But since Xiao Yufan’s arrival, he had seen hope again. As a graduate with an MBA from Stanford’s School of Business, he had no need to hide his talents—he possessed the ability to earn genuine respect.

“Great! Then I’ll entrust you with this task. As for the media channels, leave them to me. Huihuang will never let talent go unrecognized!”

Looking at Chen Xiaohua’s slightly bold expression, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but recall the young man’s earlier frustrations. How could he possibly overlook such a promising talent—a true thoroughbred with limitless potential? Moreover, he already had the perfect medium in mind: Lin Jiayao, who stood atop the media spotlight—undoubtedly the best choice.
