Chapter 80 - Growth

Fang Dien together with Xiao Mei had a meeting for the newly promoted board of directors.

IHZHI had just started. However, it was like a cheetah running for a marathon.

Every day was a busy day and everything happens so fast. A lot of companies kept pouring in asking for their partnership. They saw how this IHZHI that sprouted suddenly this year has a great potential in more years to come.

Every investment of IHZHI was successful. IHZHI was not afraid of risk since they chose those mediocre project that they thought have a less chance of growing. However, with the help of resources from IHZHI, those projects surprised the business industry as it becomes successful after a few months. Some projects did not show this great changed however they were on track and keep growing. No doubt, every project in the future would be successful.

Not only that, recently, IHZHI took RESTO and Shi Hua Media (SHM) under them.

RESTO was just a small ordinary eatery owned by an old man. Suddenly the CEO of IHZHI reached out to them to take them in. The RESTO was still named under the old man, the owner. However, IHZHI was willing to help them with management and provide resources to expand their business. What is more shocking was that Fang Dien, the IHZHI\'s CEO handled it personally.

Now in just two months, RESTO was being renovated and now its third branch was built.

In that region, RESTO was famous both for common and rich people. Its interior was classic, the prices were affordable, the management exceeds excellently. They have new perks every month that made the people visit them frequently without getting tired of their food.

There was even a rumor that they will expand RESTO all the way to the capital.

Now, there\'s even a big transformation in SHM.

Shi Hua Media (SHM) was a small media company that was run by five journalists. They rented a small office near the capital. Since SHM did not have sufficient resources, they could only cover news that doesn\'t cost them too much. Like stalking a celebrity and confirming if he/she was in a relationship prior to the rumors. Because of that, their works were not appreciated by the netizens. They were not known. If some people knew them, they would brand them as a measly media who was after entertainment. Even the SHM only provide true news, people look down on them.

It was just recently that their reputation turned upside down. Because of CJ\'s matter, they instantly became famous overnight in the media industry.

A lot of entertainment companies and famous news companies wanted to rope them in.

However, SHM rejected them all and shocked the world.

SHM chose to be under the care of IHZHI, an investment company that was less than a year old.

IHZHI did not disappoint them. They gave massive resources and gave a whole building for SHM to run.

According to the IHZHI\'s CEO, they gave importance to SHM and their partnership with them would be in the long run. IHZHI believed that SHM would fill in the entire building with its employees who would work hard to deliver the true news to the public.

The five journalists cried when they heard this news. They were thankful to Xiong Zhi who chose them and change their lives.

They would work hard to ensure the expectations Xiong Zhi had with them.

Aside from that, when Xiong Zhi contacted them if they are willing to become her team for private investigation, they agreed instantly.

Xiong Zhi knew that these five journalists have real talent. They were just lacking an opportunity and resources. Now they have it, she would just wait for them to grow.

Xiong Zhi waited in the visitor\'s area. Only Fang Dien, Xiao Mei, and the five journalists knew that she was the one behind IHZHI.

The employees don\'t know about her so she just allowed herself to wait until the meeting was done.

While waiting, Xiong Zhi did not waste time.

She kept thinking about what good plans she must have to grow her company big and strong. She did not expect that her meeting with the beast would come soon. Since the beast was here earlier than the past, would the things in the future come sooner than before?

She only knew that the beast and Xiong Wuyue got their collaboration within this time.

She calculated the time. If it was in the past, the beast and Xiong Wuyue haven\'t met yet.

\'Where did they meet?\'

Xiong Zhi kept thinking news that made all the big families attend such an event.

The door opened. A group of people comes out after they exchanged some bows.

Fang Dien and Xiao Mei came last.

When they saw a girl sitting unmoving in the couch area, they were stunned for a moment.

"Ms. Xiong Zhi-" Fang Dien started calling her.

\'How long did she wait?\'

Xiong Zhi looked up at Fang Dien and Xiao Mei. She stands up.

"Just Xiong Zhi or Zhi is fine. How\'s the meeting?"

Xiao Mei was embarrassed. She too was thinking how brazen they are to let the Owner wait for them.

"Let\'s go to my office. It\'s better to start discussing things there." Fang Dien suggested. He did not know why Xiong Zhi don\'t want to expose herself. But whatever the reason, since he was her employer he was willing to do her binding.

They entered in CEO\'s office.

Fang Dien closed the door and let Xiong Zhi sat first in the couches then he and Xiao Mei followed.

Fang Dien was holding the files that he came with when he started the meeting.

He laid it out in the table and started reporting the growth of IHZHI in these past months.

"60% percent of the projects that we invested have been successful. The remaining is still progressing. They only need time to grow and the return will be beneficial as well. The RESTO is doing great-" in this part, Fang Dien smiled lightly. He did not know why but he had a good feeling for the old man.

"-The feedback gave a surprise to me. I am planning to continue expanding RESTO from region A to region C. Before this year ends, you will see RESTO here in the capital."

Xiong Zhi was a little surprised when she heard this.

In the last lifetime, it took four years for RESTO to come all the way to the capital. When RESTO expanded in the capital that\'s when they become known and sought after. It becomes smooth-sailing for RESTO in the years to come.

Xiong Zhi could not help to be amazed by Fang Dien\'s skills. With the right help of funds, Fang Dien skipped the faith of RESTO from struggling to the long way to instant success.

She really made the right decision when she ropes him in.

"SHM surprised me more. They were only five from the beginning, now they mostly occupied the building. " Fang Dien points out the building to their left.

Xiong Zhi nodded. She knew they would grow. She was anticipating more of the achievements they would have in the future.

"SHM received positive feedback from netizens and citizens. They are a lot of people supporting them. They have their own channels now. Their team is expanding so their connections. They even plan to have a show before the end of this year. "

Xiong Zhi just keeps silent. She knew of SHM shows.

The show titled "EXPOSEE". She was one of their subscribers. [1]

EXPOSEE was a show with doc.u.mentaries of how the SHM gathered the info and their investigation for a certain subject. They would have their own investigators, lawyers, and connections to prosecutors. They would expose all their findings through this show. This show would also be the way for the common people, victims, and suspects, to tip them of any useful information that made them cowered because of fear.

SHM targets were the corrupt politicians, dirty businessman, officials who overused power, any kind of people that were not abiding the law and made a lot of people suffer.

At first, because of this show, a lot of wealthy people who had done dirty things and got investigated by SHM united to overthrow SHM and threatened their lives.

There was a lot of life-threatening experience for the five owners. However the more they got in danger, the more they got a lot of courage.

They used the media and the public\'s trust and sympathy to fight that wealthy man. No matter how many times they block SHM news, the more people would know about it.

However, the last thing Xiong Zhi heard from them was that one of the SHM\'s owner got on accident and died.

Even they were determined, stubborn, and blessed with talents, these were not enough to fight those rich wealthy men.

But now, SHM was under her, she would not let this great chance to pass by.

Under her, under IHZHI, she would protect them. With her resources and money, she wondered how far they will go?

She was truly excited.
