Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 181 Meeting

"nerve!"

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Hei Guan couldn't help but roll his eyes and cover his face.

However, once he recovered from Zhang Chulan's words, his mindset relaxed, and his muscles visibly began to relax.

Then, the burly man in the green jacket said, "I understand. They've already made preparations, so let's do what we should do. We can't let their 'good intentions' go to waste."

"Hey, after he said that, I felt relieved."

Zhang Chulan's expression was rather strange; his face was still somewhat tense as he asked, "By the way, is this kind of 'friendly match' really okay?"

"just in case……"

Clarinet flicked his sleeve, brushed off a speck of dust, and replied, "What could possibly happen? You're not worried we'll go too far, are you?"

"I guess... you've only seen him make a move during the Luo Tian Grand Tournament, like those mechanical beasts and things created out of thin air."

“These things may seem magical, but as people with supernatural abilities, we can actually accept them. And those are not his true... methods.”

As he said this, Hei Guan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of reminiscence.

"I saw what kind of stuff Liu Ke used when he 'really' made a move. After seeing it, I was in shock for ten days to half a month. It took me several weeks of watching 'American blockbusters' to regain some of my heroic spirit."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan asked with a puzzled look, "What? What is it? Is it similar to Ma Xianhong's strange things...?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Guan first made an indescribable expression on his face, and then said, "Actually, they are quite different. They are completely different. Moreover, what Liu Ke did... compared to things like the Devouring Sac, it has a greater impact on 'worldview'."

Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow after hearing this, and asked, completely bewildered, "Can't I say?"

The clarinet replied bluntly, "I can't say."

"Although I wouldn't mind telling you, Liu Ke himself probably wouldn't mind telling you either..."

"But as someone in the know, I advise you to find out 'passively'."

"If you actively seek it out, one day you'll berate your past self for asking for trouble."

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan nodded and stopped delving into the so-called "methods" of Liu Ke, which were shrouded in mystery. He turned to ask, "Putting everything else aside for now, since you said that you have all met Liu Ke..."

"So...should we inform the others about this situation?"

Hei Guan closed his eyes and thought for half a minute, then smiled and replied to Zhang Chulan, "There's no need."

"They've already made preparations, why bother with this extra step?"

After saying that, he waved his hand, took several leaps, and went straight out of the cave.

Zhang Chulan watched his figure disappear into the darkness, then looked at Feng Baobao, who had been listening intently for a long time but was 'stumped' by the two riddle tellers.

"Sister Bao'er... if you want to know, I'll..."

Before Zhang Chulan could finish speaking, Feng Baobao covered her ears.

Then she said, "I won't listen. Lao Si said it's obviously a troublesome secret, so I won't listen."

Seeing her like this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but shake his head and whispered, "Hey, this is... a truth that even you understand."

He then lowered his head and pondered for more than ten minutes before raising his head.

"Let's go, Bao'er. Like we said before, let's go see Chen Duo one last time..."

"Then, go back and wait for the bigwigs on the board to give the orders."

"Sigh, it was originally a great opportunity, but it was smashed to pieces by the outsider..."

Upon hearing the external brain speak, Feng Baobao naturally followed and left the cave with Zhang Chulan.

But as she walked, she asked, "Zhang Chulan, why are you still smiling now that the opportunity is gone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan was taken aback, then touched his face and said, "Really?"

Yes, it's obvious.

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's reply, Zhang Chulan rubbed his face and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that Fourth Brother... truly deserves to be called a gambling master."

------

The capital city is the national headquarters.

As we all know, Beijing is the political center of the country, the heart and brain of the nation. And in this 'hub,' land prices are incredibly high, making every inch of land extremely valuable.

As a courier company, NaDuTong's decision to invest in a building as its headquarters near the CCTV building (nicknamed "pants building") naturally reveals its corporate strength.

Meanwhile, in the large conference room on the 23rd floor of Nadutong's headquarters, a meeting was being held. Attendees included the six board members and the heads of the six major regions.

The two groups of people stood at opposite ends of the long conference table, representing the stark contrast between the "government offices" and the "grassroots" levels.

The board members had varying degrees of refinement, some more refined than others ruthless. As for the regional managers, they all seemed quite down-to-earth; you could call them roguish, street-smart, or capable.

The meeting was rather lukewarm, and the reason for this was that Chairman Huang Boren believed that the temporary workers on the front lines should "act first and report later" and take direct action against Biyou Village.

Bi Youlong, on the other hand, was more pragmatic, believing that the board of directors should complete the necessary procedures and endorse the action, and be prepared to set an example by doing so...

"All eighty superhumans in Biyou Village, whether they were transformed or not, were killed. The rest of the ordinary people were all dispersed after being warned."

"I can sign this order myself; I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Chairman Bi's words were harsh and menacing. But the atmosphere in the room changed immediately after he finished speaking.

At least, on the regional head's side, Xu Si, Ren Fei, and Gao Lian all changed their sitting postures simultaneously, and their gazes toward the board of directors were quite subtle.

Meanwhile, Dou Le from East China, Hao Yi from Southwest China, and Hua Feng from Northwest China were all astute individuals. Seeing that the three men's demeanor and aura had changed simultaneously, they all narrowed their eyes and remained silent.

Chairman Bi is a seasoned veteran who knows everything, and his experience was earned through hard work and struggle. He has traveled all over the country and fought his way in and out of various situations over the years, so he naturally noticed the anomaly.

Therefore, he asked directly, "What's wrong, gentlemen?"

"Your men want clear orders, don't you? I'll sign the orders, I'm willing to sign them, but what do you mean by this?"

"Speak your mind, let's talk! If you think my decision is wrong, then say so. This is a serious matter. I didn't call you here to be mere echo chambers who just clap along."

"However, you should also know that Old Liao..."

Chairman Bi's words were rather forceful. Although his tone didn't escalate too much, his expression gradually became serious, and his aura grew increasingly imposing. But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Fangxu, sitting in the main seat, suddenly leaned forward and adjusted the microphone in front of him.

The microphone's electronic tuning hum was a bit noisy, which conveniently interrupted Bi Youlong's speech.

Seeing Chairman Zhao's posture, Chairman Bi knew perfectly well that the other party was about to speak, so he quickly nodded and shut his mouth.

Then, Zhao Fangxu said, "Can you hear me clearly, everyone?"

Looking around and seeing that the directors and executives present were all nodding, he continued, "Everyone, I have roughly seen your attitudes."

"Eighty-odd lives are indeed a heavy burden, and the way they are handled should be done with great care."

"In that case, let's hear my opinion."

Chairman Zhao is not one to beat around the bush; in just over ten minutes, he had set the tone.

The Cultivation Furnace and Biyou Village were destroyed. None of the transformed superhumans were to be killed; they were to be dispersed after being assisted by the company. The villagers who were ordinary people were to be escorted to LPS City and then dispersed.

As for Ma Xianhong and his associates, they will be arrested, and if they resist, they may be killed.

This plan was indeed much more reasonable than the previous one, at least in certain situations, it could prevent any casualties. In the subsequent vote, it passed unanimously.

Following the meeting, Dou Le, the person in charge in East China, provided all the attendees with a "perverted" investigation file, proving that one of the Shang Genqi in Biyou Village was a lawbreaker and could be killed.

With that, the proceedings of this meeting have come to an end.

……

"Ren Fei, Xu Si, you two, wait a moment."

Just as the attendees were about to disperse, Chairman Zhao called out to two people through the microphone.

This suggests that they are about to hold a small-scale follow-up meeting.

……

"Ok!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhao."

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Ren Fei and Xu Si immediately agreed, stopped in their tracks, and sat down nearby.

Chairman Zhao kept his words to keep people in check, and although it was before such a big move by Biyou Village, no one had any doubts.

Chairman Zhao Fangxu is the company's bellwether. The fact that Na Du Tong has achieved its current dominant position in the industry is naturally the result of his strategic planning.

It's perfectly normal for someone like that to casually offer advice to two young people.

Moreover, the Old Celestial Master has been quite active in Central and North China lately, even though he has already left his post and gone to Xilingol.

However, what has already happened still requires someone to handle the aftermath on the streets and alleys, so it's normal for Chairman Zhao to give them some pointers.

After all, it would be quite frightening if news like "a centenarian angrily beats dozens of young punks in the street" were allowed to be exposed so freely.

One major reason why the "Celestial Master Descends the Mountain" incident is still under control is that since the Celestial Master descended the mountain, he has only used his bare hands to fight, purely physical attacks. His battle record is so outrageous that it seems like fake news or a short drama, and no one believes it.

……

After everyone else had left, leaving only the three of them in the conference room, Chairman Zhao reached out his hand again and made a few beckoning gestures.

He said, "You two, come closer, you're too far away."

Upon hearing Chairman Zhao's words, Xu Si and Ren Fei exchanged another glance, stood up, and sat down next to Chairman Zhao.

Thus, the three of them were positioned on the left, center, and right, with a distance of only one or two meters between them.

Upon seeing the two young men take their seats, Chairman Zhao took out a glasses cloth from his pocket and wiped his glasses.

He then moved a hidden sliding device from under the table in front of him, lifted the cover, and pressed the button hidden inside.

With a 'click', special partitions gradually rose from the ground around the three of them, forming a unique square space, clearly intended for a private conversation.

Seeing the surprised looks on Ren Fei and Xu Si's faces, Zhao Fangxu sighed, put on his glasses, and said, "We should make sure no one overhears what we're saying."

"It's not good to tell anyone."

Upon seeing this, Xu Si first nodded, then shifted his leg position and asked, "Uncle Zhao, why did you keep the two of us here...?"

Zhao Fangxu knew what he wanted to ask, so he nodded first and then said directly, "What else could it be? It's that 'Harmony' factor under your command."

Upon hearing Zhao Dong's address, Xu Si couldn't help but chuckle dryly, then noticed that Ren Fei across from him also adopted a suppressed laughter expression.

After five or six breaths, Zhao Fangxu first looked at Ren Fei and said, "I think you should have heard something by now, right?"

Seeing that Ren Fei did not deny it, Chairman Zhao nodded, then turned to Xu Si and said, "Xiao Si, what about you? Have you heard anything?"

Xu Si glanced at Ren Fei, who hadn't spoken, and then replied, "It wasn't there when we went, but it is now."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Bi was in charge of Old Liao's matter, but I was the one who took over and designated the subsequent investigation of Biyou Village."

"The news that Liu Ke went there is currently only known to those on my line of work, so it hasn't been leaked."

At this point, Chairman Zhao slightly lowered his chin and asked, "Gentlemen, the reason I called you here is quite obvious, and you should both have guessed it by now..."

"Let's talk things out."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fei, who had remained silent until now, spoke up and got straight to the point, asking, "Uncle Zhao, the decision has already been made. Isn't it a bit too late to communicate now?"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not too late."

"I have always believed that the fastest thing in the world is thought."

"It's never too late to make a change, as long as you want it and it's worth it."

After saying that, Zhao Fangxu seemed to feel thirsty, so he picked up the teacup, used a powerful palm strike to cool the tea down, and drank it all in one gulp.

He then continued, "Now that we live in a modern society, your men can be redirected with just one phone call, and the outcome of the operation will change as a result."

"Seven temporary workers from the six regions went, and you two make up three of them."

"I know the remaining four as well. One goes without saying, and the other three, while not particularly proactive, are still perceptive. I'll just say they're the leader and the one who holds the reins."
