The Covenant of Xinnoson Alliance, Part Two

The Covenant: The Xinnosen Alliance, Book Two: Ebb and Flow

Having weathered the industry's winter, the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning market is recovering, while the short-video and livestream e-commerce wave sweeps through the entire engineering industry. A new generation of young people wields new-media tools, convinced that short videos and livestreams can reshape the entire industry.

The two generations' beliefs clash fiercely. Some are certain the old covenant is obsolete, and keep compromising their principles in pursuit of online traffic. They enjoy a brief moment of explosive popularity, only to suffer a devastating collapse. Other young people reject the race to the bottom on price, using short videos as a tool for education and outreach. They draw customers online and fulfill their promises offline, forging a new path that blends the old with the new.

Xia Sen and Dong Lin must contend not only with a brutal business war involving supply-chain blockades, malicious trademark squatting, smear campaigns by paid online trolls, and predatory pricing, but also answer the question their era has put to them: Now that marketing tools have been completely transformed, should they cling to the old ways, or preserve what matters while leaving the next generation to innovate how the covenant is upheld?
