In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

"Even if he's not very capable, he's probably surrounded by talented people, right?"

Not to mention that he also discovered that Xu Shi was not as simple as he seemed, and was at least ten times more shrewd than the big fool in front of him.

"..."

He Yuqiang did not answer, because, as Shen He said, he really hadn't been on guard against Xu Shi much because he "knew him too well".

But if this so-called "understanding" is just a facade, then it's hard not to feel a little uneasy.

When he met Shen He's gaze, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. When he came to his senses, he realized that what the other man said made a lot of sense.

"So what? You want to beg for peace with me?"

He Yuqiang rubbed his temples and said in a pretentious tone.

"...That's exactly what I was thinking."

Shen He's smile widened; it hadn't been in vain that he had used his abilities to influence the other party for so long... But he still tried to keep a low profile, "Actually, with 'Shark Tooth's' strength, they can find anyone in Sin City. It's 'Spark' that, without Young Master He's help, has been in a very bad situation lately."

"But at least we've worked together before, so we know each other better, right?"

"...Then, I'll give you one more chance?"

He Yuqiang pondered for a moment, then revealed a smug smile.

He had completely forgotten what he had said before.

To be honest, in the City of Night Sin, profit is the top priority; everything else can take a backseat.

In He Yuqiang's opinion, Shen He's skill level was actually not bad. Although he had some difficulty facing the "Snake Ring", he was very fierce in dealing with the criminal gangsters of Sin City. He had also taken over a large area of ​​territory in a short period of time.

Most importantly, he was the most obedient member of the Sin City gangs he had ever worked with. Not only was he easy to control, but he also made few demands on him.

"It's my pleasure."

Shen He was finally relieved. As long as they could continue to cooperate, his comeback was only a matter of time.

However, the words just fell.

A bullet grazed his cheek and pierced He Yuqiang's left ear!

"...Aa ...

He Yuqiang fell to the ground in pain, yelling, "I... you son of a bitch, Shen He, you tricked me?!"

"Kill him! Kill him for me!"

-

The words are divided into two parts.

"Have you finished talking to him?"

Looking at Jiang Chengcheng walking out of the confinement room, Xu Shi asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Jiang Chengcheng nodded, her face showing more excitement.

This excitement stemmed purely from academic exchange. It was clear that she was very interested in the "Over-Limit Project" and had a level of respect for her senior, Luo Zhikang, that she hadn't shown in a long time.

In contrast, Luo Zhikang was different. Although he also got the answer he wanted, he was even more dejected than before, with a deep sense of defeat on his face.

Nobody likes being left behind by the next generation, let alone having to trade their most precious possessions for it.

Xu Shi ignored this and instead asked Jiang Chengcheng directly, "How long will it take?"

"I think I can finish the first draft of the specific plan in about a week."

Jiang Chengcheng thought for a moment and then gave her an answer.

"it is good."

Xu Shi nodded and took out the microchip.

That's about right; it's time for the old man to step down.

Chapter 38 Preparing Green Garlic!

Upon seeing what Xu Shi was holding, Jiang Chengcheng, who had been in a good mood, immediately became serious.

"Chairman Xu, what are you going to do..."

She pursed her lips, cautiously probing.

"Of course, that's what I promised you."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "I told you, this day won't be long."

In fact, settling scores with Jiang Fengshan was not only Jiang Chengcheng's long-cherished wish, but also an urgent matter for him.

Although they obtained the original copy of the "Overlimit Project," this was not something that could be accomplished simply by talking.

He needs to arrange manpower, find materials, plan the budget... He also needs partners to complete this big project together.

Even a large conglomerate like "Snake Ring" doesn't have the complete ability to turn a plan into reality.

And everything started with taking over the engineering department.

If Jiang Fengshan isn't removed from office, everything that follows is pure nonsense.

And now it's about time—two consecutive perfect handling of matters related to "Spark" has greatly enhanced Xu Shi's prestige within the group.

Some undecided shareholders changed their tune as a result, expressing their willingness to get closer to him through Su Lin.

To be honest, Xu Cheng, the father, has a very strong grasp of the company. Most of the long-term employees respect him and are willing to continue to serve his descendants.

The reason why Lin Wenhua took advantage of the situation before was mainly because I was really a scoundrel in the past.

Of course, some people were also shocked by Xu Anbang's actions—who knew that the newly appointed Chairman Xu would take such ruthless action when he finally made his move.

Could they be next...? They have to consider that.

Incidentally, Xu Shi also acquired Xu Anbang's wealth, thus strengthening his own influence in various aspects.

However, he also knew perfectly well that although Lin Wenhua seemed to have no reaction to all of this, he must have made some plans behind the scenes.

Fortunately, with this evidence in hand, he doesn't need to care about the other party's reaction, and he may not even need to personally handle Jiang Fengshan's matter.

So……

"Perfect timing, the next board meeting is the day after tomorrow."

Xu Shi put away the chip, leaned closer, and stared at Jiang Chengcheng. "Why don't you look forward to it, Miss Jiang?"

"Um……"

Jiang Chengcheng clenched her fist and nodded vigorously.

The confidence in the other person's smile made her even more convinced that her choice was correct.

Dawn is just around the corner.

"Oh, and besides that, I'll also prepare some other surprises for you."

After saying this, Xu Shi seemed to remember something, and his eyes softened.

"Huh, what is it...?"

Jiang Chengcheng was about to ask a question when he pressed his finger to her lips.

"Shall we keep it a little mysterious for now?"

"……Oh."

Having said that, Jiang Chengcheng didn't press the matter further and obediently gave a reply.

But undeniably, she's becoming increasingly excited about what's to come.

……

Two days later.

Meetings between high-level officials always need to be held, even if it's just sitting in the meeting room chatting idly for half a day, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

However, Lin Wenhua knew perfectly well that today's meeting was far more complex than that.

Mainly... how should I put it?

My eldest nephew seems to have suddenly become enlightened lately, and has made many very reliable decisions.

His handling of the Vice City gang riots was impeccable, causing almost no damage.

This has led many people to start paying more attention to him, and the reputation of Xu Shi within the company has improved.

This is not good news for Lin Wenhua, not to mention that Xu Shi secretly transferred Xu Anbang's assets to his own hands.

He hadn't expected Xu Shi to act so quickly. He had just held a meeting in his inner circle when Xu Anbang ran into trouble, catching him completely off guard.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late... The men they sent to kill Gu Yi had also been killed.

Not only will they miss out completely, but they might also leave themselves vulnerable to being used against them.

Fortunately, the other party did leave some clues—although no clues could be found regarding the assassination of Xu Anbang, he learned through some channels that Xu Shi had recently used a large amount of the company's reserve funds under the guise of "developing a new project".

Regardless of whether it's a genuine attempt to develop a new project, the fact that the other party misappropriated public funds without following proper procedures is enough to provoke considerable opposition.

Those mediocre people, unable to seize power, have nothing left but money in their eyes.

In addition to Xu Shi's past poor reputation, even if they can't restrain him as much as before, they can at least curb his rising momentum.

Thinking of this, he and Jiang Fengshan across from him exchanged a smile.

The so-called channel was naturally Jiang Chengcheng. It has to be said that with her reporting the situation, they were indeed much more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Chairman Xu arrived yet?"

Thinking about it this way, Lin Wenhua felt much better and asked the question without thinking.

"Yes, if he can't come, at the very least Director Su should be sent..."

Jiang Fengshan echoed, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Shi pushed open the door and walked in.
