The next day, after breakfast, Qi Yun went to the hotel to pick up Old Zhao. Today, they were going to discuss the specific details of cooperation with Guanghui Group.

Zhao Weilin seemed to be in a good mood because last night Zhao Qing not only talked to him but also allowed him to touch the unborn grandson in her belly.

However, just as their car arrived at the Guanghui Group parking lot, Qi Yun received a call from President Bi.

"Old Qi, I need to talk to you about something."

"Okay, go ahead."

"The company faced a situation. Suddenly, some kind of governance team arrived, wanting to conduct a thorough inspection of the company. I have a feeling something's not right here."

President Bi's tone sounded relatively calm; as someone who had seen many ups and downs, he wasn't rattled by such a sudden situation.

After hearing this, Qi Yun's expression turned grim. He didn't need to guess; it was definitely aimed at him.

Before he could respond, he heard conversations on the other end, suggesting President Bi was talking with someone else. After a few seconds, President Bi said, "Just now, Xiao Xia reported to me that the new company, Tianshan Ice Spring, is also being inspected."

"Is this... aimed at us?"

"Aimed at me." Qi Yun replied with certainty.

"Aimed at you..." President Bi found it a bit unbelievable. He was aware of some of Qi Yun's background. Who would dare intentionally make trouble?

"Who's behind it?"

"Old Hou."

"Old..." President Bi hesitated after saying one word, thinking he must have heard wrong, and confirmed in surprise, "That Old Hou?"

Qi Yun nodded and said blandly, "Yes, the one you're thinking of."

The phone fell into silence. After a few seconds, President Bi asked, "What should we do?"

He didn't ask Qi Yun in detail why he clashed with Old Hou nor panic at the thought of facing such a figure.

The attitude conveyed was clear: They're still partners, facing any difficulties together.

This was why Qi Yun chose to partner with President Bi multiple times.

"The accounts at the jewelry company..." Qi Yun tentatively asked. Last time, when selling that ivory, he got involved in some company business and knew some affairs couldn't be brought to light.

"You don't need to worry about that." President Bi confidently said, "When Old Zhou fell last time, I stopped all those businesses; our tracks were already covered."

"The company has no problems now; at most, they might fine us for some trivial details."

The biggest connection at the jewelry company was Zhou Wenbin, brought in by Mr. Li, and Old Zhou was already out of the picture thanks to Qi Yun's plans.

"But... if they dig deeply into Tianshan Ice Spring, will those procedures..."

Qi Yun understood President Bi's implication. The procedures for Tianshan Ice Spring's mining, land acquisition, and production, including related formalities at Dawn Technology, were expedited thanks to Qi Yun's influence.

Normally, completing the process might take one to two months, even half a year, but it took less than five working days.

Although there were no problems with the procedures and everything was legal, there might be flaws in the process. If someone wanted to make an issue out of it, they could still stir up some trouble.

Not only could it cause trouble for the company, but also for those who gave Qi Yun face.

"Alright, let them investigate if they want." Qi Yun remained composed, his voice steady, "I'll find someone to look into this and get back to you."

"Okay, if you need anything from me, just let me know."

"Haha, no worries. Just keep an eye on the company."

Qi Yun hung up the phone, his gaze colder than before.

The pressure was relentless, affecting even his affiliated companies. It was evident they intended to pressure him.

As expected, during the call, Tao Ziming also sent a message, notifying him that someone had gone to Dawn Technology as well.

Immediately after, Xiang Xiaoyue called, saying that the internet administration had sent a notice, listing numerous corrective requirements and ordered the game to be temporarily suspended.

"I signed the corrective notice, but I clearly refused the suspension order. They don't have the right to do that; only the National Press and Publication Administration or the state internet administration can issue such notifications."

"I feel like this isn't over; they might really apply to the higher authorities..." Xiang Xiaoyue's tone was filled with worry.

"Hmm, I understand. You did very well." Qi Yun acknowledged her crisis-handling skills. The seven-figure annual salary was well-deserved, saving him plenty of trouble.

"Don't worry too much about the rest. The outcome isn't theirs to decide. I'll make arrangements." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Alright, boss."

With his reassurance, Xiang Xiaoyue finally sighed in relief. She feared losing such a good job and boss...

Qi Yun put down his phone, a cold sneer in his heart.

Trying to force me to yield, are you?

"What's wrong?" Noticing his off expression, Zhao Weilin asked with concern.

Qi Yun shook his head, "It's nothing, just a small problem."

"Uncle, you both head upstairs first, don't keep Chairman Liu waiting too long. I'll make a call and come up shortly."

"Alright." Zhao Weilin nodded, leading Dong Anyun out of the car first.

After the two left, Qi Yun lit a cigarette and dialed Li Yaohua's number.

The phone was quickly picked up, Li Yaohua's cheerful voice came through, "Old Qi, are you asking about the bulletproof cars? Don't worry, they've already been sent over and should arrive by tomorrow."

After Zhao Qing and the others were attacked, Qi Yun had asked Li Yaohua to help purchase a few more of the same type of Maybachs, all customized bulletproof versions.

"Haha, that's not what it's about. There's another matter I need your help with." Qi Yun chuckled and said.

"Alright, go ahead."
