Now that they've all been reborn, who wouldn't be living life to the fullest?

Stepping out of the hotel, Su Yifeng took a deep breath of the slightly cool air. The first day of the National Day holiday was sunny and bright, and he was in a good mood.

Su Yifeng drove back to Chengfeng Capital, receiving many admiring glances from his female subordinates along the way, looking as if he were ready to be taken advantage of at any time.

Even Peng Yuanyuan, who cried yesterday because she spilled cream, looked at him with complicated emotions, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

Su Yifeng smiled and nodded at them. The female subordinates were excited, and their eyes moved to see Wang Defa's face, which was full of wrinkles from smiling.

His smile vanished: "Come here and open the door for me!"

"Alright, boss!" Wang Defa immediately bent down and ran to Su Yifeng to open the office door for him.

He opened the door and plopped down in the soft boss's chair.

Just two minutes after they sat down, Song Fangjie and Tu Yuqing excitedly ran in, each clutching their documents!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

"Mr. Su, according to the latest data, affected by the sudden outbreak of local conflicts in the Middle East, international crude oil prices have surged rapidly in the past 24 hours, with an increase of over 8%! Our established positions... are showing huge unrealized profits!"

Song Fangjie's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and a hint of lingering fear.

God knows how much pressure she and Tu Qingyu endured over the past few days, watching oil prices fluctuate slightly and even occasionally drop.

A leverage of four billion yuan, tenfold, means that the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

But now, Su Yifeng's judgment has been perfectly verified!

The boss made the right bet! How did he do it?!

Su Yifeng showed no surprise, simply replying calmly:

"Okay, I understand. Tell Wang Defa to stay calm and proceed according to the original plan. This is just the beginning."

"Yes, Mr. Su!"

Song Fangjie was completely convinced, and her gaze towards Su Yifeng was filled with admiration.

"And what about the other thing?" Su Yifeng asked, referring to the acquisition of the newspaper.

"Several targets have been preliminarily identified."

Tu Qingyu took over the conversation and placed a document in front of Su Yifeng:

"One of them is a weekly newspaper called 'Nancheng Metropolitan News,' which meets your requirements. The person in charge is Ye Wenqian, 30 years old, with a background in journalism, and her personality... is rather stubborn, or rather, she has an excessive sense of justice."

Tu Qingyu paused, then added:

Two years ago, she attracted considerable attention for reporting on a forced demolition incident.

But later, the family whose house was forcibly demolished suddenly changed their story, saying that they had already negotiated compensation terms with the developer and accused the Hong Kong Economic Journal of being inaccurate.

Although Ye Wenqian insists that her initial investigation was correct and that the family was later bribed, the newspaper's reputation has been severely damaged. GG Media withdrew its investment, readership dwindled, and the newspaper is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Ye Wenqian is currently seeking a buyer.

Su Yifeng picked up the document and flipped through it. There was a photo of Ye Wenqian inside, a woman with neat short hair and clear eyes with a hint of stubbornness.

"Interesting." Su Yifeng's lips curled into a slight smile. "This is the place. Arrange to meet her as soon as possible to talk."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the somewhat dilapidated office of the Nancheng City News.

Looking at Su Yifeng, who was excessively young yet possessed a powerful aura, and his two capable and beautiful secretaries behind him, Ye Wenqian felt a little apprehensive.

She never expected that the person interested in acquiring her small newspaper, which was on the verge of closing down, would be this kind of person.

"Mr. Su, if I may be frank, you've seen the current state of the Hong Kong Economic Journal; it has almost no commercial value. Your acquisition of it is for…"

Ye Wenqian got straight to the point; she didn't like beating around the bush.

Su Yifeng glanced around the simple office, then turned his gaze back to Ye Wenqian, and said bluntly:

"What I value is not the current worth of the Hong Kong Economic Journal. I don't need it to have any value. Even if it's worthless, it will be worth a fortune once I have it."

Moreover, Editor-in-Chief Ye, I admire your persistence.

Ye Wenqian paused for a moment, then smiled wryly:

"Persistence? I'm almost starving by now. Mr. Su, if you're planning to use the *Hong Kong Economic Journal* for purely commercial publicity or advertorials, I'm afraid I…"

"No."

Su Yifeng interrupted her:

"By acquiring the Hong Kong Economic Journal, I will inject capital, upgrade equipment, and expand circulation. What I need is a channel that can make its voice heard and that people can believe in. As for the content direction..."

He leaned forward slightly, looking into Ye Wenqian's eyes:

"I can give you maximum autonomy. As long as your reporting is based on facts, I won't interfere. I might even provide you with some... more sensational and socially impactful news leads."

Ye Wenqian's heart skipped a beat.

The greatest autonomy? Providing news leads?

The conditions were so good that she could hardly believe it; she had thought she would become a puppet.

"Why?" she couldn't help but ask, "What are you after?"

"For the sake of having a voice."

Su Yifeng answered very directly:

"In the future, accurate, timely, and even forward-looking information will be the greatest asset. And I need a platform entirely of my own to release and verify this information. Of course, it would be even better if this platform itself could be profitable."

He looked at Ye Wenqian, his tone seductive:

"Editor-in-Chief Ye, are you willing to let this happen? Are you willing to let yourself and the Hong Kong Economic Journal remain silent because of a single incident where the truth was distorted?"

Don't you want to have greater power to uncover more hidden truths, or... clear your name of the grievances you suffered back then?

Ye Wenqian fell silent.

Willing? How could she possibly be willing!

In the past two years, she has been thinking about turning things around and proving that her original report was correct.

"What do I need to do?" Ye Wenqian's voice was a little hoarse.

"Sign this contract and bring the Hong Kong Economic Journal under my wing."

Su Yifeng pushed a pre-prepared contract in front of her:

"Your compensation and resources will satisfy you. You just need to continue to uphold your journalistic ideals and... that courage to offend people."

Ye Wenqian picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. The terms were indeed generous, with clear provisions for financial support and resource allocation, and a clear guarantee of the editorial department's content independence.

She took a deep breath and looked again at Su Yifeng's eyes, which seemed to be smiling and exuded a friendly aura.

This is an opportunity, a chance that could allow the Hong Kong Economic Journal and herself to be reborn.

Although the young CEO Su's motives were by no means pure, at least he gave her the conditions to continue pursuing her ideals.

"good!"

Without further hesitation, Ye Wenqian picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract: "President Su, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Su Yifeng smiled and extended his hand:

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Editor-in-Chief Ye. You'll soon realize that you made an absolutely right decision today."

With the acquisition of the newspaper finalized, Su Yifeng was in an even better mood.

"Editor-in-Chief Ye... no, Mr. Ye, I have a task for you. I'll give you three days to prepare. Find a few more helpers; I need you to travel to major hospitals all over the country to collect case studies on the same type of infant illness. The more, the better."

"President Su, please just call me Editor-in-Chief Ye..." Ye Wenqian said with a wry smile.

She then asked curiously, "Why do we need these medical records?"

You don't need to know this right now.

Su Yifeng didn't explain the reason, but instead presented Ye Wenqian with a condition she couldn't refuse:

"All you need to know is that if you do well, Editor Ye, your newspaper will become the most famous in the entire province."

"Really!" Ye Wenqian said, though she didn't believe it, her voice was still filled with excitement.

The most famous newspaper in the province?

She dreams of doing all of this!

Su Yifeng didn't say anything, just smiled and led the two women out.

Famous throughout the province?

That was just a way of deliberately downplaying the situation to avoid scaring Ye Wenqian.

If the "big-headed baby" incident were to be exposed, this newspaper would gain notoriety throughout the country and even the world.
