Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

Shanghai, inside an apartment.

Wen Ting stared at her phone, her eyes almost bulging.

This gentle and graceful woman had completely changed her demeanor.

She had just been typing with a blank face, describing her sadness and sorrow in a text message.

Now she wished she could smash the phone.

At that moment, her first instinct was suspicion.

Suspicion that the phone was not in Zhang Sixing's hands, that someone else had replied for him!

This wasn't the Zhang she remembered, not at all!

However, knowing Zhang Sixing, he wouldn't let anyone see his phone, let alone such private messages.

For some reason, Wen Ting's anger, breakdown, shock, and humiliation peaked at this moment!

So many things had happened in the past, and she never felt this way.

Amidst the recent string of incidents, even when she was involved in the project of [Paipai] which was suddenly taken down, she didn't feel this way.

But it struck her now!

The reason was simple, she had always looked down on Zhang Sixing.

From the bottom of her heart, she never respected him.

She picked up her phone, took a few deep breaths, and began to brew her emotions.

Wen Ting prepared to call her ex-husband, hoping to infuse her voice with a touch of sobbing.

The result was...

— She was blocked.

...

...

This was the night before Cheng Zhu's app launch.

An unrestful night.

On one side, a vile woman was confronted.

On the other, a vile man drank himself into oblivion.

The app was taken down for handling, and every day it was delayed, it lost significant money and users.

If this wave was not handled well, [Paipai] would really be finished!

In fact, even if it passed smoothly, half of [Paipai]'s current momentum would be cut.

Shang Qi and Zhao Qing intentionally gave Cheng Zhu only three days to re-submit, hoping to make him feel like a frying pan on fire.

In the end, they "fulfilled" themselves.

Since the afternoon, they had been running around seeking connections, pleading desperately.

But upon hearing about the suspension, those with good relations usually claimed they were powerless.

As for Zhang Wei, he had been out of touch and didn't respond to any contact.

This made Shang Qi and Zhao Qing somewhat desperate.

Nowadays, they considered themselves significant figures in Shanghai.

Although Tianyun Capital was not top-notch in Shanghai, it wasn't bad either.

As one of the partners, Shang Qi had a notable status in the financial circle in Shanghai.

As for Zhao Qing, lately, he had been quite presumptuous.

After a failed startup, [Paipai] was now quite successful.

His goal was to achieve a valuation of ten billion within a year and become a dominant force in the short video field within three years!

But today?

They learned what being crushed meant!

You love giving people hard problems, don't you?

Well, now it's my turn to present you with one.

I'm giving you just one question; solve it if you can!

All afternoon, Shang Qi and Zhao Qing locked themselves in their office making various calls.

When familiar connections didn't work, they sought other ones.

In the end, they really found someone!

Shang Qi immediately booked a very private club and organized a dinner.

A thirty-something man attended, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and appearing gentle and refined.

However, whether in his eyes or demeanor, he gave off an aura of superiority, looking down from above.

He was polite, yet something inside him projected without disguise.

Many people like this exist in reality, polite yet create a strong sense of distance.

Once seated, Shang Qi and Zhao Qing flattered and fawned over this man who seemed younger.

They downed drink after drink, their demeanor humble and servile.

The reason was simple; his father's surname was Chen, the same Chen referred to by Bao Fan.

The suspension and internal review of [Paipai] were his orders.

After several rounds of drinks, Chen Jianwen glanced at Shang Qi and Zhao Qing.

Smiles immediately appeared on Shang Qi and Zhao Qing's faces.

"What you've mentioned is difficult for me as well."

"In principle, it can't be done," he said.

Shang Qi and Zhao Qing exchanged a glance, elated inside.

They had long understood such subtle "adult language."

"In principle, it can't be done" translates to "If the price is high enough, it can be done."

They quickly expressed their sincerity discreetly.

Though their words were not explicit, they drank another large sip of wine.

Then, they saw Chen Jianwen slightly nod.

"I have already understood the general situation," said Chen Jianwen.

"Internally, it's about addressing issues, not targeting individuals."

Hearing this, Shang Qi and Zhao Qing were actually irritated.

The so-called "addressing issues, not targeting individuals" was actually "targeting you specifically."

Currently, isn't [Paipai] being targeted internally!

Chen Jianwen continued, "The matter can indeed be resolved."

"I spoke with my father this afternoon; I could tell he's in a great mood."

He smiled slightly.

To him, his father was rather stern.

It was rare to see him so happy.

Given that, asking him to show leniency would certainly be easier.

But Chen Jianwen quickly changed his tone: "However, the necessary procedures must still be followed, and fines still need to be imposed."
