[The admiration for my wifeâs muscular arms is beyond words; she could easily outmatch a hundred like me.]
[Can you believe the weight sheâs carrying? Iâm struggling with just ten squats at my own weight, and here she is, effortlessly squatting a hundred kilograms.
Is she even human?]
[âListen to Qingqing â reject body anxiety! Be happy with who you are, as long as it doesnât harm your health.]
Before long, the hashtag #SiFuqingWeightlifting soared to the top of the entertainment charts.
Fitness equipment stores were pleasantly surprised to see a sudden spike in dumbbell sales, though somewhat puzzled by this unexpected trend.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Speed Sports.
Xu Jingshan was fuming, having failed to receive news of the success from his dispatched bodyguard. Instead, he watched in disbelief as Si Fuqing once again climbed the trending charts, gaining more followers.
âWhere are they? Are they all dead?â Xu Jingshan roared, kicking over a chair in rage. âA bunch of incompetents!â
His assistant, wiping sweat from his brow, nervously informed, âPresident Xu, weâve tried contacting them but to no avail. They must have failed.â
âObviously,â Xu Jingshan snapped, his anger reaching its peak. âSheâs already posted on social media, sheâs obviously escaped. Send more people; I want her dead. â
The assistant hurriedly left to carry out the orders.
Sitting at his desk, Xu Jingshan took a deep breath as he watched his companyâs stock plummet. He summoned the sales and finance departments.
âWhat have you all been doing?â he thundered, slamming his fist on the table. âWeâve faced challenges from other companies before. Why canât we hold steady this time?â
âThe situation is dire, President Xu,â the sales director reported, lips pressed tightly. âOur online and flagship store orders have been canceled by eighty percent.
Speed Sports, established for over a decade, had never faced such a crisis.
Xu Jingshan, a master of public relations, had engaged in numerous charitable acts, earning him the title of Outstanding Entrepreneur last year.
The company had thrived by offering affordable products. Though not expensive, their high sales volume had significantly boosted Xu Jingshanâs wealth.
But now, a new product launch that had seen over twenty thousand online sales at noon the previous day had catastrophically dropped to a mere thousand.
The loss wasnât just in customers, but in materials and manpower.
âOur financial stability is under attack,â the finance director added. âWe canât keep the stock from falling.â
âPresident Xu, thereâs more bad news!â the assistant burst in, panic-stricken.
âOur spokesperson wants to terminate their contract with us.â
Xu Jingshan barked, âThe contract isnât over yet. Why terminate it?â
âTheyâd rather pay the penalty than continue,â the assistant said with, his voice filled with difficulty. âTheyâve already issued a termination notice.â
Collapsing into his chair, Xu Jingshan gritted his teeth, âLet it be. Stabilize the situation, even if it means losing some money.â
He believed that given time, the publicâs memory would fade, and he could rise again.
After all, even the controversial NT brand had maintained good sales in the Great Xia market until it was forced out.
âYou neednât exert yourself so, President Xu.â Just then, a voice rang out. âSpeed Sports will soon no longer be yours.â
Several shareholders entered the room.
Xu Jingshanâs expression changed drastically, âHow dare you to take advantage of my misfortune?â
âDonât put it so harshly,â one of the shareholders replied. âItâs a fair trade.
Youâve driven a good company to this state; canât we choose someone else?â
Sensing something amiss, Xu Jingshan asked sharply, âWhat have you done?â
The sound of a wheelchair broke the tense silence.
Feng San wheeled in Yu Xiheng.
The man was strikingly handsome, with features like a finely painted portrait.
Yet, the air of ruthlessness he exuded made it hard to breathe. The shareholders turned, their demeanor respectful, âMr. Yu.â
Xu Jingshanâs face drained of color, and his pupils contracted sharply.
A Yu, in a wheelchair.
The enigmatic ninth son of the Yu family.
To the world, he was known simply as âthe cripple.â
But even a cripple from the Yu family was not to be underestimated.
The Yu family, a century-old aristocratic heritage.
How could Speed Sports, merely a few decades old, compare?
The shareholder, with a sardonic smile, revealed a shocking truth to Xu Jingshan. âWeâve transferred all our shares to Mr. Yu. Your company will have new leadership, and as for you, Xu Jingshan, youâre headed for imprisonment.â Xu Jingshanâs mind ground to a halt, disbelief etched on his face. âWh-What?â
âBrother Nine,â Feng San interjected with icy resolve, âthe men from yesterday confessed. They were acting under Xu Jingshanâs orders. He wanted Miss Sit s life.â
As the final words fell, Yu Xiheng turned his gaze towards Xu Jingshan.
His demeanor remained composed, yet his presence bore down like an oppressive force.
Xu Jingshan felt his legs buckle, collapsing to the floor with a thud.
The reality he faced was beyond his comprehension.
The Yu family, targeting his company because of his actions towards Si Fuqing?
The connection between Si Fuqing and the Yu family was unfathomable.
âMhmm,â Yu Xiheng replied coolly, propping his head, eyes half-closed. âLetâs proceed according to the law.â
âAttempted murder, he wonât be seeing the outside world again anytime soon,â Feng San added with a cold laugh. Xu Jingshan trembled, trying to speak, âMr. Yu, I⦠Iâ¦â
His thoughts were in disarray.
Si Fuqing, a seemingly background -less idol, was connected to the Yu family?
Regardless of the nature of their relationship, even if she were merely a hidden benefactorâs songbird, she was untouchable for him.
âWhat â1â?â Feng San pressed Xu Jingshanâs head to the ground with a slap. âDo you mean to say if you had known about Miss Sits relationship with our master, you wouldnât have dared to act? Spare me. Iâve heard such excuses too often. Why didnât you think before you acted?â
Such is often the way of the small-minded, only realizing their folly when itâs too late.
Xu Jingshan lay drained of strength, his eyes void of life, his mind shattered by the revelation.
No wonder Si Fuqing was so bold last night.
The backing of the Yu family!
Feng San lifted Xu Jingshan, his voice icy, âBe grateful Miss Si felt asleep last night; otherwise, your end would have been far worse.â
Yu Xiheng maneuvered his wheelchair, signaling their departure, âLetâs go.â
Xu Jingshan, in a sudden outburst, screamed, âYes, you have the wealth to acquire my painstakingly built company! Speed Sports was established in MO City and is protected by local laws! What right do you have to meddle in affairs of the Central Plains?â
The vast lands of Great Xia were divided into five states, each with its own talent protection plans to support young entrepreneurs.
As an outstanding entrepreneur, Xu Jingshan was naturally part of the Central Plains talent protection program.
âYouâre just a member of the Yu family, arenât you? But the Yu familyâs business isnât yours!â Xu Jingshan protested vehemently. âYou have no right!â
After his defiant proclamation, Xu Jingshan saw Feng San looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
Finally, Yu Xiheng opened his eyes.
With a light tap of his slender fingers, he spoke in a cool tone, âAsk MO Yanwen to come here now.â
MO Yanwen, the current head of the MO family!
