It must be said that Xiang Zixuan was a very adaptable girl.

Soon, even without Yang Xintian and Sun Dasheng's company, she managed to adapt to the new environment on her own.

After handling her father's funeral arrangements, she returned to campus and began to study even harder.

In May, the atmosphere at Sun Dasheng's various major companies was grim. Ever since the Americans started swinging their scythe a month ago, harvesting the financial 'leeks' of Southeast Asia, even the thickest of them—the Little Day businesses and the Koreans—were not spared.

You could say this matter initially had little to do with Sun Dasheng. However, the world is one big global village where everything is intricately connected. Take his car dealership, for example; several of its 4S stores sold Little Day brands.

Now, with the Little Day nation's exchange rate continuously falling, it should have been beneficial for exports. However, one mustn't forget that their country is a resource-poor island nation, a world apart from our own vast and abundant homeland. Consequently, the cost of importing raw materials soared, leading to significant price inflation. Export prices actually rose instead of falling.

Business at the 4S stores selling Little Day car brands was getting worse and worse, and even the highly capable Zhong Liying was at her wit's end. After all, even the most skilled craftswoman can't make bricks without straw.

Aside from the influencer and live-streaming media companies, which were still making money as usual, his other businesses were all on a downward trend. After all, with ordinary people having little spare cash, it wasn't easy to persuade them to spend.

His various subsidiary companies and the ten supporting female characters contributed a total of 50,000 experience points.

Looking at the system panel, he silently commanded, Withdraw.

It was time to go on another shopping spree.

Leaving the remainder, he converted all 60,000 experience points, depositing the funds into the investment company's account. The company's cash on hand, which had been under ten million, was transformed. Suddenly, a staggering 4.3 billion in cash was sitting in the account.

He soon received a report from his finance director: a massive sum of money had just been deposited into the company's account. This finance director, handpicked for him by the system, was top-notch. She had an iron will and had weathered many storms. Even so, this was the first time she had ever seen such a large amount of cash deposited into the company in a single transaction.

The surprise was evident on her face. Does our mysterious chairman have some vast, unknown overseas assets? After all, not just anyone could casually produce billions in cash. And yet, judging by his nonchalant expression, this amount of money is a mere drop in the bucket to him, hardly worth mentioning.

A massive sum of money had arrived in the company's accounts. Since Sun Dasheng hadn't requested confidentiality, the news quickly spread among the investment company's top executives. The most excited among them was Wang Hai, the head of the investment department. He'd been with the company for a while now but hadn't managed a single noteworthy investment case. This time, he intended to recommend a project he had been diligently researching to the chairman.

「In the Chairman's Office」

Looking at the thick stack of investment proposals in his hands, Sun Dasheng felt a headache coming on. It wasn't because the projects were bad, however. On the contrary, in his eagerness to prove himself and deliver results, Investment Director Wang Hai had clearly poured his heart and soul into this. At least half of the projects here showed real financial potential.

Unfortunately, these projects with "financial potential" weren't quite the kind of "good projects" he was looking for. He wanted projects that could rake in experience points for him quickly. Such projects not only spared him the hassle of management but also ended up yielding returns far greater than legitimately profitable ventures.

"President Sun, what do you think about these projects? They are all quality projects I have carefully selected."

What do I think? They're completely unsuitable, of course. But I can't just reject them all outright. If I do, who will be left to do the work?

Sun Dasheng hesitated for a moment, picking up the thick stack of proposals. "There's a lot here," he said. "I've only had a chance to glance through it, but there are indeed quite a few good projects inside."

Hearing President Sun's words, Wang Hai beamed. Looks like my judgment is still sharp, and President Sun truly has a keen eye for talent.

"However..."

That single word made Wang Hai's throat tighten. The most crucial part of any statement always comes after the "but" or "however."

Seeing his nervous expression, Sun Dasheng smiled gently and gestured for him to relax. "However, we can't rush into things and try to do everything at once. Let's take these projects one by one. What do you think?"

Oh, is that all? Wang Hai thought, feeling a mix of mild disappointment and satisfaction. At least President Sun isn't rejecting everything; he's just advocating for a steady approach. I can understand that.

"Your words have been a true revelation, President Sun. I will proceed according to your instructions," Wang Hai immediately declared.

"Do you really understand?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"Of course. I'll select what I believe to be the most promising projects from this list and personally oversee them," Wang Hai replied, confident he had grasped his superior's directive.

Unfortunately, he had misunderstood.

Sun Dasheng's index finger tapped gently on the desktop. Then, he picked up the thick stack of investment proposals and extracted a single document from the very bottom.

On its cover, the words "New Energy Vehicles" were written in bold.

That a 'warrior' would still dare to charge into this fiercely competitive industry earned Sun Dasheng's sincere admiration.

When Wang Hai saw the proposal in President Sun's hands, his heart lurched. That was the project he was least optimistic about—which was precisely why he had buried it at the very bottom of the pile.
