To secure his position and the people under him, Li Dong went all out.
He spoke his mind as he thought it.
"President Yun, if I may say, your stock market issues are merely minor setbacks, not worth mentioning."
Upon hearing this, Liao Heyun chuckled coldly, "What? You think I don't know that? Aren't you just making excuses for yourself?"
"Let me warn you, if you can't give me a solid plan today, then forget about choosing between your arm or your leg. Let's keep it simple: both!"
Li Dong's heart sank, but having come this far, was there any turning back? Besides, he did have an idea in mind.
After a brief pause, he continued, "Let's set aside the stock market for now. I believe you weren't the only one involved in that matter, President Yun."
Noticing Liao Heyun didn't deny it, Li Dong's voice flowed like a spring, without interruption.
"Since there were others, it means you're not the only one in a similar situation. What do you want to do most right now?"
Li Dong grew more animated as he spoke, "If I were you, there's only one thing I'd want to do: make a comeback. All this effort, it can't just go to waste, can it?"
"Since everyone feels the same, why not unite? A single plank cannot support a house!"
Li Dong finished speaking and waited.
He had done his best; what Liao Heyun would do next was entirely unknown. He could only leave it to fate.
"I can reluctantly accept this plan!"
After a long silence, a long-awaited voice finally broke the deathly quiet.
"Alright, you can go now!"
"Thank you, President Yun!"
He had almost forgotten this point in his anger earlier.
Liu He had told him that the Dong family, Zhang Ke, and even Lin Hai were also connected.
Zhang Ke had now openly sided with the Lin family, fawning over them like a lapdog.
He couldn't count on Zhang Ke, but what about the other two families?
Knowing that it was almost impossible to defeat the Lin family alone, it was perfect to gather everyone's strength.
"Someone!" A bright white light flashed in his mind, and he immediately called out.
Noticing his assistant approaching.
"Help me contact Dong Hua of the Dong family."
"Yes!"
Currently, Liao Heyun was in a foul mood, and no one dared to provoke this powerful figure.
Naturally, from top to bottom, the efficiency of their work unconsciously increased severalfold.
A moment later, the assistant returned, "President Yun, Dong Hua has been contacted. When would you like to meet?"
"What did he say?" Liao Heyun slightly raised his head.
The assistant recounted everything, "Dong Hua's attitude seemed very sincere. His exact words were, if your boss really has this intention, then we'll meet tomorrow morning."
Now, Liao Heyun needed unity. Hearing such a satisfactory answer was like a warm spring flowing through his heart, finally bringing some relief to his agitated state.
"Tell him, we'll do as he says."
The next day, with the apology meeting with the Dong family still a day away, time was pressing, and Dong Hua didn't want to waste a moment.
In the morning, he woke up from his sleep, didn't even bother to fix his hair, and rushed to the meeting place with Liao Heyun.
He quickly entered and saw a middle-aged man in a cramped and inconspicuous corner. Dong Hua immediately took the initiative to greet him.
"Are you President Yun?"
Liao Heyun and Dong Hua, one in the shadows and one in the open, recognized Dong Hua, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Liu He's boss. We've cooperated before, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. We were sold out by Zhang Ke; otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."
As he spoke, Liao Heyun gave a brief self-introduction.
To be so familiar with the details of the entire matter! And mentioning Liu He, a key figure, instantly dispelled Dong Hua's lingering doubts.
"A pleasure, a pleasure!"
Dong Hua felt as if he were in a raging river and had suddenly found a life-saving straw.
A moment later, he quickly said, "Since that's the case, does President Yun have any other good ideas?"
Liao Heyun said, "Brother Dong Hua, there's no need to rush. Once everyone arrives, we'll discuss it together."
Three cobblers are better than one wise man.
Before coming here, Dong Hua had also contacted Lin Hai. The three minds were now working towards the same goal. Could they still be worse than one Lu Feng?
At this moment, Lin Hai should also be arriving.
As they were speaking, Lin Hai entered from outside.
Seeing him, Liao Heyun quickly gave a signal to his waiting assistant.
Soon, the three of them were seated near a table.
The men now knew each other and had a common goal. Next, it was time for an analysis of the situation, discussion, and formulation of the most suitable strategy.
"Perhaps I should start," Dong Hua volunteered, noticing Liao Heyun nod slightly.
Without further ado, he poured out the words that had been stuck in his throat.
"Tomorrow, Lu Feng is going to the Dong family. Dong Ye currently values that young man Lu Feng very highly. This time, they want me to publicly apologize to Lu Feng. I think this is just the beginning. It won't be long before Lu Feng enters the Dong family."
Before Dong Hua could finish, Lin Hai's voice followed.
"The situation with the Lin family is similar. After the stock market incident, Lu Feng's influence within the Lin family has grown even stronger than before. It's possible Lin Dong will hand over power at this time. My brother might not be thinking clearly, but consider this: the Lin family's foundation was built over many years by the Lin family members. How can it be so easily given to an outsider?"
Although Liao Heyun didn't speak, his situation was self-evident.
If he wanted to make a comeback, he had to take down the Lin family first.
"In that case, does anyone have any good ideas?" Liao Heyun looked at the two men before him.
These two had come here looking for solutions. If they had good ideas, would they be scurrying here like this?
Both men lowered their heads in silence.
"I do have an idea," Liao Heyun said, having listened to the words of the two men before him.
Upon hearing this, their wandering gazes were instantly drawn by a magnetic force, quickly focusing on Liao Heyun's face.
Liao Heyun's voice was calm.
"Dong Hua, your problem isn't just with Lu Feng, but also with Dong Ye. Since Dong Ye and Lu Feng have this relationship, if these two are not physically separated, this hidden danger will always exist."
"I know that too?"
"But how can we separate them?"
