To Love You Again

Chapter 614 - Competing Against

Jang Shin's hair was still wet from his rushed shower when he arrived at the company very early in the morning. His coat and tie was slung over one arm as he did not yet have the time to wear them.

The publicity news was released late at night. In some countries within the same continent, the sun was just starting to set on the horizon. Many lurking netizens also saw the news and the articles. Right now, the corporate world in Country C had seen the news and was checking the credibility of the matter.

Jang Shin knew that today and the upcoming days would not be peaceful with the appearance of Univ One.

As soon as Jang Shin arrived at the company, his secretary and his team of assistants ran to him. They, too, arrived in the office earlier than the working hours.

The public relations department came even earlier than them when the sun had not even risen yet from the horizon, as they were all awakened by their contacts in various entertainment media companies about the sudden news.

"President! The people overseas called earlier and were asking how we plan to face the matter. They wanted to hear directly from us if what Univ One is saying is true. The ambassadors are taking care of them, but they are clearly worried, sir."

Jang Shin was still fixing his necktie at this point as he walked. "Print out for me all the articles that have those details of Univ One's progress and send them to my office. For now, call those people back and assure them that there is nothing to worry about and that we already have countermeasures set up for it."

"Yes, President." The assistants dispersed.

His secretary then reported to him. "President, our partners in Country Z are also inquiring. Many of their rivals are eyeing Univ One. Two corporate representatives from the South are also asking for countermeasures. Univ One apparently has more fame there than here."

Jang Shin frowned.

It looked like Univ One knew where to point their gun at the place where it hurt the most.

Their business network was slow in progress in the South. If Univ One wanted to monopolize this region of the continent and the surrounding countries, then their business cooperations with the clients there might go up in flames. The clients would likely switch sides in the future.

This matter must be handled meticulously.

"Inform them that I will give them the updated countermeasures personally within the day. For now, give them the initial measures we set up in the project plan to temporarily appease their minds."

"Yes, President." His secretary ran to her own office to do her job.

Jang Shin sighed heavily.

Now he knew why he was having bad luck in the past days. He had a bad premonition that something was about to happen. Coupled with Linfeng's movements of hurrying ZD world's upgrade progress, the feeling that something was about to make him suffer was very strong.

And he was right!

The appearance of Univ One truly shocked Jang Shin.

A same project like ZD World that appeared almost a year after. It was known that SC took a long time- four years- to build the plan Linfeng has into reality and a lot of resources to build ZD. Linfeng even reached out to the five kings. That's why Jang Shin was confident that no ZD World would appear in the first five years.

Who would have thought another monster was actually trying to build ZD World at the same time?! This really took him by surprise. Who was the man behind Univ One?

While his thoughts ran through it, Linfeng's image appeared in his mind.

No wonder his friend keep working on upgrading ZD World like someone was running after him. It turned out, it was because of this appearance of another competitor.

Jang Shin got the feeling that Linfeng knew about it.

He went to his office and called Linfeng. While he was waiting for the call to go through, his assistant secretary knocked. "President, the media is downstairs. Shall I send them off or ask the PR to settle them?"

Jang Shin sat on the desk and began to look at the information and requests piled up on his desk overnight. He must go over them first before holding an emergency meeting afterwards.

"Pick a few of them that have good reputation in public and let them stay in the lounge. Tell the public relations to handle the matter. As for the others, send them off."

"Alright, President."

"And also, bring me a cup of coffee."

"Yes." The secretary swiftly left.

Ding~

The call went through.

The cool and stoic Jang Shin suddenly collapsed and cried without tears.

"Linfeng, you @#$&--!!! Your mess is here! Come here and clean this up!"

Linfeng's voice coming from the other line was a bit groggy. "I'm coming."

Jang Shin was speechless as he looked at the pointer of the clock fast approaching six. "..."

He knew that tone.

This bastard had woken up late and still wanted to sleep more! He was usually up and ready at five in the morning!

He narrowed his already narrow willow leaf eyes and said indignantly, "How dare you sleep so well and wake up late when this mess you created is wreaking havoc?"

There were sounds of movements from the other line. The man's voice still sounded husky.

"How can this be my mess? We just have another competitor that appeared sooner than we initially expected, that's it."

"Is that really it? Then how come you acted in the past month like something big would happen, even hastening ZD's progress? Aren't you preparing for this?"

"Yeah, yeah. I know your instinct is second to mine. This is Guan Gao Huan's work."

"That Guan guy?" Jang Shin's eyes went wide.

Did that Guan spied them before and get this idea from them? Did he create Univ One just to mess with them?

Jang Shin knew that there was enmity between Linfeng and Guan Gao Huan since High School.

Could it be possible that right even right now, the two were still competing against each other?

So...

So childish!
