"Do you think the whole world is your mom, acting so arrogant with a stranger, especially a full-grown man, just because things have been too easy for you and now you want to experience being knocked down? Or do you still think you're a kid who hasn't been weaned, so we should all give in to you?" Xu Ke pressed further, staring at the other person's face.

"And threatening others with your own life — if you don't care about your own life, do you expect others to? That's a joke. Go home and drink milk." Xu Ke showed no leniency despite the fact that the other was a girl; his words were even more ruthless, scaring her into retreating step by step.

"You said you wanted to jump from here. Look at all these people around — is anyone stopping you? Life is only a few decades long, and who knows if there's a next life? If you think you've had enough and want to die, no one will stop you. But using your life to threaten others to get what you want or feel good is truly foolish."

Xu Ke, using his height advantage, looked eye to eye with the girl standing on the steps, his gaze as cold as the eternal ice of the Arctic, freezing the girl into standing woodenly with no reaction.

"So, are you still going to do this foolish act?" Though Xu Ke's mouth asked the question, his tone and attitude suggested otherwise.

The girl felt that if she nodded now, she might just get thrown off the mountain by the man before her.

Faced with the potential loss of life, the girl decisively backed down, shaking her head firmly under Xu Ke's gaze.

"Since you don't want to die anymore, then move aside and stop blocking my way up the mountain." Seeing her give up the idea of death, Xu Ke ceased his vicious verbal attacks and coldly told the girl.

The girl obediently stepped aside.

For Xu Ke, what happened on the road was just a minor incident, yet it left an indelible impression on the girl and the crowd. Many regretted not capturing the scene after Xu Ke left.

While working on a travel strategy in Shangzhou, Xu Ke didn't neglect his duties. His two entertainment companies launched a targeted attack against Xing Yujun's entertainment company, with a dedicated team to snipe, causing Xing Yujun to become immensely busy, looking haggard in no time, but the company's decline showed no signs of halting.

The internet was buzzing with excitement as the corporate rivalry tensed relations between the artists of both sides, and the tug-of-war over resources created fresh scandals daily, making the scene lively to the extreme.

"President Xing, we can't keep going like this. We must find a way out, or the company won't hold on."

"Our company's main pillars have been poached down to one, the top tier power has nearly been wiped out, the lower tier hasn't risen yet, the mid-tier is now stuck due to various online scandals, and even some brands are negotiating contract terminations."

"There's too much negative press online, the company's image has plummeted, and the stock has seen a certain degree of decline, with a continuing downward trend."

The voices exchanged in the meeting room described the myriad problems facing the company, dropping like bricks and quickly filling Xing Yujun's mind to the brim, leaving no room for respite.

"Enough!" Xing Yujun slapped the long table in the meeting room, exclaiming loudly.

"Everyone shut up, be quiet." Xing Yujun's impatience was evident in his fiery words, his gaze sweeping the room, capturing the expressions of everyone present one by one.

"I'm aware of the difficulties the company is currently facing. This is normal for any company; nothing is ever smooth sailing. Every company encounters several crises, but as long as we get through them, a bright future awaits. I hope you won't be defeated by these temporary challenges, and we can overcome these little obstacles if we work together." Xing Yujun attempted to boost the morale of the staff whose faces showed discouragement, hoping it might reignite their confidence in the company.

This tactic might work on fresh graduates with little to no social experience, but for those who had climbed to this level, it was nothing but empty talk; nobody in the room took it seriously.

They just looked at Xing Yujun with calm, profound eyes — together forming an overwhelming pressure, forcing Xing Yujun to embarrassingly avert his gaze.

"President Xing, everyone in this room didn't get here by being foolish. What you've said is meaningless to us. Rather, come up with a solution to show us that the company can get through this crisis."

Listening to these words, Xing Yujun's expression didn't change much, but he felt extremely awkward inside.

"Don't worry, we will definitely get through this tough time. I already have a solution. As long as you're willing to fight alongside me, I am confident we will successfully overcome it," said Xing Yujun with a faint smile on his face.

"What exactly is the solution President Xing mentioned?"

Following this question, everyone's eyes in the meeting room focused on Xing Yujun again, like spotlights in the dark, leaving nowhere to hide where the light shone.

Xing Yujun's eyelids twitched slightly, "I have a specific plan, but it must remain a secret. It has to be executed covertly."

"How long before we see results, and the company survives this crisis?"

The people in the meeting room were not swayed by Xing Yujun's few words, remaining incredibly rational and calm, pressing him to commit to a timeframe and leaving no room for excuses.

Xing Yujun secretly gritted his teeth, managing a faint smile and said, "A week at most. As long as we get through this week, the company will survive this crisis. So, as the highest executive of the company, I earnestly hope everyone will continue to hold on and stand with the company in its time of need."

Xing Yujun got up from his seat and solemnly bowed to all the higher-ups in the company.
