"Hehe, I have to admit that your decision this time was very wise." After Tai Yajing had spoken, Liang Yifeng nodded and said, "You"ve made me see you in a different light through this matter. Initially, I thought that you were just a celebrity who liked to chase after money. But now that I look at it, you have very keen eyesight, or rather, your instincts are very accurate.""En, I just felt that I couldn"t agree to this." Tai Yajing smiled gently. "Young Master Dali is a very good person. Previously, I"d offended him before because of Hong Anbao. But he never bore grudges about it. I don"t want to hurt him again. Maybe it"s just my wishful thinking, Young Master Dali probably won"t even remember me. But that"s just how I feel."
"En, this is actually one aspect." Liang Yifeng smiled. "And the real reason is that if you had partic.i.p.ated in it, then you would have become cannon fodder without any doubt."
"Oh? My instincts just told me that I shouldn"t be involved in this." Tai Yajing asked questioningly. "But cannon fodder…"
"It"s really not that I"m scaring you." Liang Yifeng slowly said, "Think about it. In the battle between Dali and Ko Gohon, on the surface, it"s for the sake of the t.i.tle of Young Master, but are things really that simple? Why would Ko Gohon spend 50 million USD on you? Even if you can become the number one female celebrity in Heavenly State, how would you be able to earn this 50 million back for him?"
"I"d thought about this before too, but I just couldn"t understand the key to this." Tai Yajing became silent for a while, and suddenly, her eyes lit up as she asked, "Yifeng, what you mean is… Ko Gohon is planning to go against Hong Dali in all aspects this time?"
"Close to the mark, not far off." Liang Yifeng grinned. "Investing such a large sum of 50 million USD for a celebrity, then what about other aspects? I dare to say that Ko Gohon has come to Heavenly State this time definitely with a hidden purpose related to their family. Jaban State"s Toyoda Conglomerate has always liked to destroy the young geniuses and talents of their opponents. With Hong Dali being so outstanding, it"s impossible that they wouldn"t notice it. So this time, he"s giving the excuse that it"s a battle for the t.i.tle of Young Master, but in actuality, it"s definitely targeted at Hong Dali. Heh heh, do you think a mere t.i.tle would be worth it for him to invest so much?"
"True!" Upon hearing Liang Yifeng"s words, Tai Yajing instantly understood. "He"s planning to destroy Hong Dali"s legendary reputation of never losing! It must be the case! If I get involved in it, then no matter who wins or loses, I won"t get any benefits from it! No wonder previously my heart was beating so fast, so it"s because of this!"
Tai Yajing was not a stupid woman. Thus, she soon understood the key point behind this matter.
"Haha, you"re quite lucky actually." Liang Yifeng praised. "Think about it. Now Hong Dali is widely known in Heavenly State and whatever he starts up earns him money. And there"s still Big Turtle the Black Tortoise with him. If you go against him, would you be able to benefit?" Speaking up to this point, Liang Yifeng said, "And what if Hong Dali loses in the battle against Ko Gohon? Will the nation go easy on you? So it"s really a very wise decision that you didn"t agree to this matter. Not getting yourself into these sticky issues, just like how a gentleman won"t stand beside a collapsing wall. Very smart."
What Liang Yifeng had said was truly not to scare Tai Yajing.
Currently, Hong Dali had a great reputation in the Heavenly State and was well-received by the public. Even if the nation wouldn"t openly intervene, they"d definitely secretly lend a helping hand. Thus, in the battle of the Young Masters this time, no matter what the results would be for both parties, the person stuck in the middle would definitely suffer.
"Then, Yifeng, what should I do next?" Tai Yajing was a little anxious now because she wasn"t sure what to do next. "Should I support Hong Dali? Or should I just ensure my own wellbeing and don"t care about anything?"
"You have two choices now." Liang Yifeng slowly said, "One, support Hong Dali to the fullest. Don"t be concerned about Li Nianwei"s status. After all, there"s quite a large gap between you two, though you probably won"t like to hear this. But it"s definitely the truth!"
Though what Liang Yifeng said was not very nice to hear, Tai Yajing knew that he was saying that for her own good. Thus, she hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, I won"t blame you. It"s a fact that things are like that, and I still know for myself what my ability is like. What about the second one?"
"Two, you declare that you will go into retirement now. It"s not really retiring, but it"s just finding something to prove that you don"t have time to partic.i.p.ate in other activities." Liang Yifeng continued, "This is the safest way. It"ll bring you neither advantages nor disadvantages. For instance, you can say that you"re currently recording for your alb.u.m, filming some movie, or so on. In that case, regardless of whether Hong Dali or Ko Gohon wins, you won"t offend anyone."
Two routes, two choices.
Liang Yifeng had suggested these two choices truly for Tai Yajing"s own good, definitely not because he had other ulterior motives.
Tai Yajing wasn"t a stupid person, thus she naturally understood. After giving it some careful thought, she finally made her decision. "I"ll choose the first route!"
"En? Really?" Liang Yifeng was quite surprised at Tai Yajing"s choice. "You"re really sure?"
"Wealth is acquired through taking risks." After she had made her decision, she felt more relaxed, as she smiled and said, "At least I know that I definitely won"t suffer any losses by working with Young Master. Even if Hong Dali loses in this battle against Ko Gohon, it"ll definitely not disadvantage me. Moreover, his chance of winning is still quite high."
"Great!" Liang Yifeng gave a thumbs up. "In that case, I naturally can"t lag behind." He hugged Tai Yajing into his arms and grinned. "I don"t have many good feelings towards those little devils too, hahaha! Then this time, let"s join Dali"s side and do something big!"

"Mingxin, what are your views about the encounter between Hong Dali and Ko Gohon?" Liu Yihui and Liu Mingxin sat on the sofa. Liu Yihui asked this son of him that he was the proudest of, "Do you have any thoughts about it?"
Liu Mingxin, still extremely good-looking, smiled and said, "Toyoda Conglomerate and the Hong Family have been enemies for tens of years. This time, it naturally won"t be so simple as a fight for the t.i.tle of Young Master. Since we have already formed an alliance with the Hong Family, then we naturally have to give them a hand."
"En, same as what I thought." Liu Yihui slowly said, "Back then, these little devils did nothing but evil things in our nation. If it wasn"t because it"s the era of peace now, I"d have wanted to dash forward and have a big fight with them. But now, it"s a feud between their two families, so we can"t openly help them. Do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Mingxin touched his chin and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Since Ko Gohon is challenging Hong Dali so openly, then he must have made some preparations beforehand. I"m not sure about the exact situation, but Toyoda Conglomerate will definitely extend their fullest support. Back then, this Toyoda Conglomerate liked to destroy the young geniuses and talents of their opponents. Back in those days, a genius general of our Liu Family had also died because of them. Now, they"re definitely planning to do that again. I dare to say that if Hong Dali collapses, their next target would definitely be one of the three of us, me, Mu Zixiao or Liang Yifeng."
"Therefore, since they don"t harbor good intentions, we don"t need to take any chances as well. I heard that this time, he"d contacted Tai Yajing. He"s probably planning to attack all of what Hong Dali had started up. I feel that it won"t be long before he prepares to enter the online gaming market. So my opinion is to develop Dream Dota League as our trump card as soon as possible, to deal with the volatile potential changes."
"En, true." Liu Yihui touched his chin. "This time, it"s said that Ko Gohon has brought quite a lot of funds here. He wants to completely crush Hong Dali. As the saying goes, a fire at the city gate brings disaster to the fish in the moat as well. If Hong Dali cannot withstand their attack, then their next victim will be us. With the financial ability of Toyoda Conglomerate, if they really make us their next target, it won"t be easy to deal with them."
Liu Mingxin naturally understood what his father said. "So, dad, the Hong Family is in a state of emergency now, we must help them this time. Previously, the collaboration between our three families was quite a success, so this time, we must not mess things up. For the aspect of online gaming, if Ko Gohon wants to intervene, he must groom his puppet. Thus, we must acquire intelligence regarding various large companies as soon as possible."
"I know, you don"t have to worry about this." Liu Yihui nodded, and then asked, "Oh right, about that new game, how are things progressing so far? How do you feel about it? Does it really have that much potential?"
Liu Yihui was naturally well aware of how creative the Dream Dota League that Hong Dali had proposed was.
He already knew that this game would definitely be popular just by listening to Hong Dali talk about it once or twice. Thus, currently, he was rather concerned about how to protect Hong Dali. After all, Hong Dali had countless good ideas, and he was like a hen who could lay golden eggs. Thus, he had to be careful about this.
"The progression of things are quite good. Currently, the map has already been completed, and there has already been a preliminary design of six heroes so far." Speaking of Dream Dota League, Liu Mingxin was fairly excited. "Currently, the indoor testing in the gaming room on the third floor of Chenhui Building has been quite well-received. Especially Lin Zixuan, she quite likes this game and has brought those professional gamers along with her to train furiously. Now, their standards are all great. I went two times to take a look. The compet.i.tion is very spectacular, and I"ve specially asked the programmer to design the skills such that they are grander. When we introduce it in the online gaming fest in the future, it"ll definitely gain wide acclamation. And, after it has been officially released, the results will definitely be good."
Liu Yihui didn"t really think much about what he said. Had Hong Dali heard this, he"d definitely nod his head fiercely. Not to say about this world, but even in his previous life where the entertainment industry was quite advanced, The Three Kingdoms, Dream Dota League, and League of Legends were also quite explosively popular. Now that they were introduced in this context, it was even more needless to say about their achievements!
"Sigh, now, the more I think of it, the more I envy that brain of Hong Dali"s." After Liu Mingxin finished speaking, Liu Yihui sighed deeply. "Now I really can"t wait to cut his head open and see how many good ideas he has! I realized that any random idea of his will bring in much money! Previously, he"d only casually thought of improving the dining ambiance, so he started that Wuxia style chain restaurant. But within such a short period of time, he has already earned tens of millions just in franchise fees alone!"
