Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 553 Attack
Inside Samsung headquarters in Seoul, Lee Jae-young watched the live broadcast on the global channel, his face terribly grim.

His sister was intimately linked with Cheng Yi's arm, chatting and laughing, their posture affectionate.

"You bastard! You treacherous bastard!" After a furious roar, the television screen shattered instantly.

Lee Jae-yong grabbed anything he could get his hands on and smashed it wildly against the shattered television screen.

Debris was scattered everywhere, and the office was a mess.

The secretary stood to the side, sighing inwardly.

He's changed four batches of ornaments this month. Now when he goes out to buy ornaments, he only picks the cheap and fragile ones.

That way, once the boss has finished smashing everything, he won't have to pick it up anymore, since it's all broken anyway.

Lee Jae-yong quickly smashed everything he could grab, but he still felt somewhat annoyed.

His gaze fell on the secretary, then on a vase broken in two on the floor.

To be able to serve as Lee Jae-young's secretary, one must possess master-level reading skills.

With just a glance from Lee Jae-young, he knew what to do.

The secretary sighed inwardly, walked over, picked up the two pieces of the vase, and respectfully handed them to Li Zairong.

"Smash!" Both pieces of the vase smashed onto the secretary's head.

A trickle of blood slid down the secretary's forehead.

The secretary staggered a couple of steps, feeling that ever since Li Zairong and Momo Group started their fight, even the secretary had become a daily consumable.

After smashing the secretary's clothes, Lee Jae-young's mood calmed down a bit.

He sat in his boss's chair and said in a deep voice, "You adulterous couple! You despicable lovers! Sooner or later I'll make you kneel on the ground crying and begging me!"

The intimate hand-in-hand scene at the airport, and Lee Boo-jin's declaration of protecting Sung Yi, were broadcast live around the world via Universal Television.

This is not just a business rivalry, but also the most thorough trampling on his personal dignity and that of the Samsung family.

On the red carpet at Gyeongju Airport, Cheng Yi and Li Fuzhen walked hand in hand, ignoring the petrified Kim Jun-ho and the Samsung team behind them, and seemingly oblivious to the countless shocked gazes around them. Amidst the flashing lights, the two calmly walked towards the waiting motorcade.

The VIPs boarded a luxury motorcade driven by Black Panther security personnel and, escorted by police motorcycles with flashing lights, drove away from the airport.

The evening banquet was jointly hosted by the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association and Momo Group.

Chairman Du Yusheng, accompanied by dozens of leading figures from China's internet industry, hosted the event. The banquet hall, which could accommodate nearly 1000 people, represented business representatives from various countries whose GDP rivaled that of Handong Province.

Even Jiang Zhixue had never encountered such a scene before.

Cheng Yi couldn't hold his liquor, so the reception duties were handed over to Du Yusheng's team.

He quietly left the venue to begin final preparations for tomorrow's anniversary celebration.

The night before a major conference is held is the most difficult.

The organizing committee, consisting of nearly 300 people, stayed up until the early hours of the morning, meticulously rehearsing every detail of the event, arranging seating, and printing and placing table signs.

The third anniversary celebration of Momo Group officially started at 7 pm the next day.

The main venue, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was packed to capacity. Those qualified to come here to watch the celebration were either outstanding employees of Momo Group or partners. The rest were guests invited by Momo Group.

The dazzling lights illuminated the stage as if it were daytime.

On a giant circular screen composed of countless 24-inch displays, the technologically advanced logo of Momo Group slowly rotates.

In the audience, besides core employees and partners of Momo Group, there were also many media reporters, business observers, and representatives of investment institutions from all over the world.

Dozens of high-definition cameras from Universal Television were already in place, and the signal was being transmitted simultaneously to screens in more than 7400 million homes and public places across Asia via satellite dishes.

Countless eyes around the world are focused on this place.

The first half of the annual meeting consisted of speeches from leaders, an awards ceremony, and a strategic announcement. Under the guidance of five CCTV hosts, the process proceeded smoothly.

Jiang Zhixue first delivered a speech on behalf of the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association, followed by speeches from the leadership of Momo Group.

Du Yusheng reviewed the glorious journey of the past three years.

Cheng Yi outlined Momo Group's future development plans.

Huang Wenrong released astonishing financial data.

Zhang Gang demonstrated how Black Panther Security safeguards the group's global business.

Yu Sen, as the technology leader, introduced the latest breakthroughs in the Moc-os system.

Each announcement was met with applause.

At this moment, the host Zhu Jun called out loudly:
"Distinguished guests and friends, tonight we have witnessed the collision of ideas and felt the power of dreams. In the ups and downs of the business world, they have strategized and led the trend of the times; on the stage of life, they have always been passionate and constantly pursued new possibilities."

"Tonight, they will surprise us in a different capacity and with a different attitude. They are not only leaders in the Chinese business world, but also dream chasers with sincere hearts. Tonight, they have shed their business halo and chosen to express their inner passion and love for life in the purest way—music."

"Let's hold our breath and look forward to welcoming Mr. Du Yusheng, Chairman of Momo Group; Mr. Cheng Yi, President of Momo Group; Mr. Huang Wenrong, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Momo Group; and Ms. Zhang Lingyu, Vice President of Momo Group and General Manager of Momo Internet Cafe Management Company. Let's listen to their 'blooming lives' and feel another melody of dreams! Please give them a round of applause!"

"MoMo Band!"

The lights suddenly changed, focusing on the center of the stage.

When the Momo Band, consisting of Du Yusheng, Cheng Yi, Huang Wenrong, and Zhang Lingyu, took the stage, it immediately drew deafening screams.

Cheng Yi stood in front of the microphone, holding an electric guitar. He wore a simple black shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, his gaze calm, as if the roaring crowd below had nothing to do with him. Zhang Lingyu sat behind the drum set, exuding a cool and powerful aura. Huang Wenrong held his bass, looking slightly nervous, but thankfully he wore sunglasses, obscuring his expression.

Du Yusheng, however, seemed very excited; he enjoyed this flamboyant scene.

Just then, Cheng Yi's right hand suddenly slashed downwards, and a metallic electric guitar suddenly rang out.

As Cheng Yi's accompaniment began, Du Yusheng grabbed the microphone and started singing:

How many times have I fallen on the road...

How many times have my wings been broken...

Now I no longer feel lost...

I want to transcend this ordinary, extravagant hope...

The voices and instruments of the four people exploded at this moment.

The enormous sound waves impacted the entire venue as if they were tangible. On the circular screen, images of Momo Group over the past three years rapidly switched, from a dilapidated internet cafe to the Momo Technology Industrial Park as seen from a helicopter, perfectly matching the music.

The more than 20,000 audience members below the stage erupted in cheers.

The employees of Momo Group stood up excitedly, waving their arms and roaring along with Du Yusheng.

The staff's participation transformed the entire venue into a giant ocean of rock music.

Screams, whistles, and chants blended together into a deafening roar.

Feeling the roar of the waves around him, Johnson's smile vanished as he sat in the front row, replaced by a look of seriousness.

This is not just a song, but more like a embodiment of the will of the core leadership of Momo Group.

That sense of power to break through all obstacles and grow wildly made even this seasoned business tycoon feel a little startled.

Chen Yongzheng stared intently at the dazzling Momo Group executives on stage, his gaze complex, lost in thought. Li Fuzhen, meanwhile, rested her chin on her hand, watching Cheng Yi's engrossed performance under the spotlight with a dreamy look, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.

A resounding cymbal hammer strike brought the song to a powerful close.

The music stopped abruptly.

After a brief silence, deafening cheers swept through the entire venue like a tsunami.

The large screen displayed a photo of Cheng Yi, Liu Guiwu, and others in a dilapidated office during the early days of Momo Group. That photo marked the beginning of Momo Group's dream.

The group photo includes Cheng Yi and Huang Wenrong.

Liu Guiwu, former deputy general manager of Huaxia Software Group and current general manager of Huaxia Software Group.

There is Huang Ganping, the current director of the Computer Operating System Research Institute of Handong Province.

There is Gao Yang, the former vice president of the Shinan District Police Association and the current president of the Shinan District Police Association.

Chen Wenyu, former president of the Jingzhou Information Industry Association and current executive vice president of the Handong Provincial Information Industry Association.

Cao Zhe, former director of the Handong University Town Police Station and current vice president of the Shinan District Police Association, is among them.

……

As a special guest, Cao Zhe sat in the front row. When he saw his photo on the big screen, he clapped excitedly. He remembered Cheng Yi jokingly saying that this photo would be worth 100 million yuan in the future.

And now, he believes it.

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

Du Yusheng waved his arms excitedly, while Huang Wenrong took off his sunglasses, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and revealed a genuine smile on his face.

Cheng Yi slowly put down his guitar, calmly surveyed the jubilant crowd below, slightly raised his chin, and looked down sharply at Johnson sitting in the front row.

This song, "Blooming Life," is not just a performance; it is a display of confidence. Through this performance, he wants to express a point of view to the global audience who can see this gala.

Chinese people are not the stereotypical stereotypical country bumpkins with rigid expressions and wearing bulky, ill-fitting suits.

Chinese people can be fashionable, radiant, and avant-garde.

It's as avant-garde as Du Yusheng's rooster comb hairstyle.

The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time. Then, under Su Duo's guidance, 43 internet tycoons dressed in choir costumes walked onto the stage in a pre-arranged formation, filling the entire back area.

Cheng Yi took the microphone, looked around the room, and said loudly, "We have another program today, which is a grand chorus by the entire Momo team. Everyone is familiar with this song, 'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' dedicated to everyone here, our tomorrow! Will be better!"

This time, the cheers were even louder than the last.

Employee representatives from 43 internet companies all stood up, their voices nearly hoarse from shouting.

Cheng Yi tossed the microphone aside and quickly began playing the intro.

Four unconventionally dressed executives from Momo Group led the team, while 43 internet moguls in chorus costumes sang along. This unprecedented combination and the stark contrast instantly brought the audience, both at the venue and watching on television, to a frenzy of laughter, applause, whistles, and cheers.

At that moment, the viewership ratings of Universal Television also skyrocketed.

In the back-end monitoring room, Grann stared intently at the screen: "The traffic peak is 11% higher than estimated! Lilith, make sure all redundant bandwidth is enabled. Poos, Leota, set the firewall to the highest level."

As the intro music began, Du Yusheng picked up the microphone and was the first to speak: "Gently awaken the sleeping soul..."

"Slowly open your eyes..." Cheng Yi continued singing, his voice slightly hoarse, yet possessing a unique infectiousness.

Huang Wenrong: "Look at this busy world..."

Zhang Lingyu: "Is it still, endlessly spinning in solitude...?"

As the four band members finished the first measure, the music suddenly intensified, and at the same time, the chorus of the 43 big names in the background finally joined in:

The spring breeze is oblivious to romance...

Stirring the heart of a young man...

Let the tear stains on my face from yesterday...

It dried up with the memories...

The chorus was uneven, the tunes were scattered, and some people were even clearly reciting lyrics.

However, this huge contrast also brought a strong comedic effect, causing even greater laughter from the audience and viewers at home.

Just as the song reached its climax.

A high-frequency electrical noise suddenly rang out from the venue and the live broadcast signal of the global television station, and then the music on the main stage disappeared.

The huge circular screen went black instantly, and the sound system emitted a muffled crackling sound, abruptly stopping the music and voices.

"what happened?"

Why is there no sound??

A brief silence fell over the scene.

On stage, the bigwigs looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

In the back-end monitoring room, a piercing alarm sounded.

"The main signal source is being interfered with by a high-intensity directional electromagnetic pulse! Backup line 1 has been cut off! Backup line 2... Backup line 2 is under a large-scale DDoS attack, with bandwidth usage at 61.59%!" Poos shouted urgently.

"Switch to backup satellite channel! Activate emergency plan C!"

"Satellite channel...the satellite channel is also experiencing interference from an unknown source! The signal is unstable!"

"Activate Bastion Protocol! Lilith, activate the temporary launch tower, use the highest encryption frequency, bypass the backbone network, and directly target the satellite." Grann made a decisive decision, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

This is Cheng Yi's ultimate backup plan, which he will only use as a last resort. It requires a huge amount of energy and can only be maintained for a very short time.

On stage, the moment the music stopped, Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly turned much colder.

Without the slightest panic, he gently began to play the accompaniment, and together with Du Yusheng, they sang: "The snow falls on Jade Mountain, igniting the heart of a young man, melting true feelings into musical notes, conveying distant blessings..."

As Cheng Yi slowly raised his hands, tens of thousands of Momo Group employees in the audience all raised their hands and sang along with great emotion:

Sing out your passion.

Extend your hands.

Let me embrace your dream.

Let me see your true face.

The bigwigs on stage finally snapped out of their initial bewilderment.

Ma Yun was the first to react. He didn't care about anything else and shouted along with all his might, not caring that he was off-key. Then it was Ma Huateng, then Ding Sanshi, then Zhang Chaoyang... one after another.

No matter how badly these 43 big names sang before, at this moment it was as if something in their blood had been ignited by the atmosphere. They let go of all their restraint and concerns, opened their throats, and roared along with the entire audience with all their might:
Let our smiles.

Full of youthful pride.

Let's look forward to a better tomorrow!
