Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Qin Quan's heart sank, and he quickly got into the car.

"Has something happened to the company?"

"Shen Tianfang and Yao Guangsheng have been released from the police station. Song Yunhui has declared that he will grind us to dust!"

Lin Wanrou spoke very quickly, revealing all the information she knew.

"He not only wants to settle scores with me, but also wants to find out who stole my primordial essence. We can't escape this calamity."

The one who stole her virginity was none other than Qin Quan.

The moment the gears of fate began to turn, their destinies were inextricably linked.

"Hmph, he thinks he's worthy?"

Qin Quan snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He didn't understand managing a company. But when it came to fighting, brawling, and being aggressive, he never backed down.

Moreover, he is a dignified cultivator, a Foundation Establishment stage master. Let alone Song Yunhui, an eighth-rank grandmaster, even if the Martial King himself came, he would have to kneel down and sing "Conquer" to him.

"Aren't you working for the military? Isn't anyone above you in charge of this?"

Qin Quan frowned, his tone full of confusion.

Lin Wanrou's research projects are enough to overturn the world and change the world order.

With the military and the Dragon Science Academy backing them up, how could they be so easily manipulated by a martial arts master?

"Isn't it because you're protecting me? There's no need to waste national resources."

Lin Wanrou smiled gently, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

But Qin Quan could hear a hint of unconcealed bitterness and helplessness in her voice.

Mass-producing artificial spirit stones is too difficult; the research costs alone are astronomical.

It took Lin Wanrou three years and a lot of resources to produce just three, which shows how difficult and rare they are.

This gave those who originally disagreed with the research a handle to use against them, and the Dragon Academy of Sciences split into two major camps.

Some people support her in continuing her in-depth research.

Some people called for a halt, urging her to shift her focus to more advanced weapons research.

Three years have passed, the expenditure was enormous, and the results were lackluster.

The voices of opposition grew louder and louder, and who in the entire Longke Institute still cared about her safety?

In the past, she needed to report and undergo strict checks at every level before leaving Qing Shi Farm;

Now, she comes and goes freely, but no one pays her any attention.

This unprecedented sense of loss and crisis put her under immense pressure.

She finally managed to go to a bar to drown her sorrows, but ended up having a one-night stand with Qin Quan by accident.

"Even if I leave Dragon Science Academy, I will continue my research. I believe that as long as Qingcheng Group stands, I can support this huge research budget."

Lin Wanrou's tone was resolute, indicating that she had no intention of giving up on this research.

"I trust you!"

Qin Quan nodded emphatically.

The benefits of the spirit stone to him are undeniable.

Even if the whole world opposes Lin Wanrou's research, he will support her to the end.

It's just money, isn't it?

In the eyes of cultivators, worldly money is the cheapest thing.

As long as spirit stones are mass-produced, money? He'll take care of that.

"Oh, right!"

As if he had just thought of something, Qin Quan grabbed a pen and paper from the car and quickly wrote down a prescription.

"This is the formula for the Youth Preservation Pill. With your abilities, you can definitely mass-produce it within half a month."

Lin Wanrou, who was driving, glanced at Qin Quan indifferently, not caring at all.

"Where should I put it for now? I'll do some research on it after I finish dealing with what I need to do."

She had never heard of the Youth-Preserving Pill, but Qingcheng Group did have two Youth-Preserving Products, both with mediocre effects.

She wasn't interested in it.

Qin Quan didn't press the matter, placed the prescription face down on the passenger side dashboard, and said no more.

The vehicles slowly merged into the traffic. A moment later, they arrived at the foot of the Qingcheng Group building.

As soon as Qin Quan got out of the car, Gu Changming quickly came up to him and said anxiously:

"Brother Quan, the Fang family has declared a challenge!"

He handed over a red invitation card, which read, "Fang Mushou requires you and General Manager Lin to go to Haihong International this noon, or you will bear the consequences!"

"Haihong International? Isn't that the Qian family's territory?"

The moment Lin Wanrou saw the red invitation, her face immediately darkened.

"Fang Mushou deliberately set up this trap at Haihong International; he's definitely trying to force Qian Tai to cancel our cooperation!"

Everyone knows that the Qingcheng Group relies on the Qian family for 80% of its raw materials. Forcing Qian Tai to cancel the cooperation is tantamount to cutting off the source of the problem and destroying the spirit of the company!

"Hmph, despicable man. He's just relying on Song Yunhui's backing to bully others."

Qin Quan's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable power.

"It's just a trap, I'll go with you!"

"good!"

Lin Wanrou was overjoyed; these were the words she had been waiting for.

While the Dragon Academy of Sciences is unreliable, Qin Quan's martial prowess is undeniable.

I wouldn't dare say I could defeat Song Yunhui, but at least I could deter petty scoundrels like Fang Mushou.

Fang Mushou wants to use her as a scapegoat?

Daydreaming!

Lin Wanrou was in a great mood, exuding a powerful aura, and her bespoke suit made her look even more capable.

"Once I've cleaned up the company of these parasites, we'll head to this trap!"

She carried her handbag and walked straight towards the company building.

Qin Quan and Gu Changming followed closely behind.

Top floor conference room.

All the senior executives and shareholders of Qingcheng Group gathered together, and the noise and chatter were deafening.

"President Shen has been arrested, and the boss's wife has taken over at the last minute; the company is doomed!"

"Can a housewife really manage such a large company? I doubt it!"

"She personally sent President Shen to jail. She not only offended the Fang family, but also Master Song. The Fang family has joined forces with Haihong International to prepare to take action against the company. We need to find another job quickly!"

"Yes, let's get out of here quickly, or we won't even know how we died!"

boom!

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and the noise stopped abruptly.

Everyone turned their heads at once and saw Lin Wanrou walking quickly towards them, with Qin Quan and Gu Changming on either side of her.

The three of them exuded a powerful aura, completely giving off an unapproachable vibe.

"Is everyone here?"

Lin Wanrou spoke in a cold voice, her aloof gaze sweeping across the entire room.

The HR director quickly stood up to respond.

"Except for Fang Qing, all shareholders and executives are present."

"Don't worry about Fang Qing."

Lin Wanrou acted swiftly and decisively, getting straight to the point.

"Fang Qing has been expelled from the shareholders' meeting. I've gathered everyone here today for only two things."

"First, Shen Tianfang and Fang Qing will no longer serve as shareholders or senior executives of the company. From now on, all business transactions must be approved and signed by me to be valid."

"Secondly, you've all heard about my conflicts with the Fang family, Yao Guangsheng, and Song Yunhui. Those who want to leave, go to the personnel and finance departments now to complete the formalities; those who want to stay, work hard for me, and I, Lin Wanrou, guarantee you won't be treated unfairly!"

"Hmph, easy for you to say!"

Before Lin Wanrou could finish speaking, a middle-aged executive suddenly stood up and questioned her in a cold voice.

"Do you, a mere woman, think you can contend with the Fang family and Master Song? Even the Lin family is struggling to survive; are we just going to stay and wait to die?"

"Exactly! Quickly refund our money according to the company's market value and shareholding ratio, so we can all part ways amicably!"

Everyone stood up and echoed their agreement.

They wanted to kick someone when they were down, but also wanted to get away unscathed.

This act of wanting to have one's cake and eat it too perfectly embodies the greed of human nature.
