Zhang Tianyi rolled her eyes at him. "What do you mean by 'getting the terrain right'? I'm going to pick someone up. I even prepared sacks... no, I even prepared a guest room at the Celestial Master's Mansion for her."

"Whenever we see Qu Tong, we'll calmly reason with her and ask her to come back to Longhu Mountain for a few days."

Zhang Tianyi had even imagined Qu Tong trembling with fear yet having no choice but to obediently follow him up the mountain when she saw him.

"Master, what about me?"

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Duo held Frog and looked up at him, asking a question.

She wore a beige loungewear outfit today, which made her look soft and sweet.

"Girl, you stay home today."

Zhang Tianyi walked over and gently patted her head, his voice soft:

"You've only just become a normal person, so just stay home and rest. Watch TV, play some ranked games or something."

"You can leave the dirty and tiring work outside to your nephew."

Zhang Chulan's lips twitched as he watched from behind.

"Alright, let's go."

……

10:00 AM, Beijing CBD core area.

Several Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked in front of an impressive office building in a very high-profile manner.

At the top of the building, the three large characters "Yaoxing Society" are prominently displayed.

"Mr. Zhang, please take your time."

Zhang Chulan got out of the car ahead of time with great professionalism, opened the car door, and even used his hand to cover the roof of the car.

Zhang Tianyi strode out of the car and looked up at the modern building.

"Quite a show of force. Looks like this charity has been making a lot of money lately."

The three of them entered the lobby of Yaoxing Society without any hindrance.

Zhang Chulan walked straight to the front desk, took out a forged business card from who-knows-where, slammed it on the table, and said arrogantly:

"Tell your President Qu that Mr. Zhang, President of Global International Capital Asia Pacific, is here to discuss a charitable foundation trust project worth several billion yuan."

"Have her arrange a meeting immediately."

Billions?!

The receptionist was terrified.

Looking at Zhang Tianyi's stunning looks and noble air, they dared not doubt her and immediately called to report.

Less than three minutes.

A man dressed in a business suit and wearing a lobby manager's badge, accompanied by several employees, came down to greet them, his brows slick with sweat.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I am Li, the public relations manager of Yaoxing Society."

Manager Li bowed and scraped, his attitude extremely enthusiastic.

"It's really unfortunate. Our President Qu just went abroad a couple of days ago to inspect a project to help impoverished children in Africa. He's not in the country right now."

"Not here?"

Zhang Tianyi's face, which had been carrying a slight smile, instantly darkened.

He narrowed his eyes, and his mental network instantly spread out like ripples on water, covering the entire building in an instant.

Every office, every cubicle, even the basement.

empty.

Or rather, the unique Qi fluctuations characteristic of the Dual-Handed Technique are indeed not here.

"Damn, they run really fast."

Zhang Tianyi cursed inwardly. This woman's sense of smell was even sharper than Zhao Pangzi's; she would run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

He stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Manager Li with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was freezing cold.

"I went to her door in person, and you're telling me she's not here?"

"Yes, yes, it was indeed an unexpected trip."

Manager Li was sweating profusely and quickly gestured for him to proceed.

"However, President Qu instructed before he left that if you are an important investor, please be sure to come to the VIP conference room so that we can give you a detailed introduction to Yaoxing Society's philosophy!"

"Mr. Zhang, please give us a chance to showcase our abilities!"

"Alright, since we're already here, I'd like to see what tricks your Yaoxing Society can pull off."

Zhang Tianyi snorted coldly and stepped into the elevator.

The top floor features a panoramic glass conference room.

Zhang Tianyi sat in the spacious main seat, with Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao standing behind him like two guardian generals.

The projection screen in front has been lowered.

Manager Li, along with several high-ranking executives from Yaoxing Society dressed in uniform, stood in front of the screen, their faces filled with fervor.

"Mr. Zhang! First of all, please allow me to demonstrate to you the core ecological closed loop and empowerment matrix of our Yaoxing Society!"

Manager Li pressed the page-turning button on the PowerPoint presentation.

Suddenly, a dazzling array of charts and photos of smiling children appeared on the screen.

And bolded words such as "great love", "charity", and "selfless dedication".

"We, the Shining Star Society, are dedicated to spreading the seeds of love around the world!"

"We ask for nothing in return, only for the elevation of our souls!"

Manager Li became increasingly agitated as he spoke, waving his arms and his eyes gleaming with an almost manic devotion:

"President Qu is the guiding light in our hearts! Under her leadership, all of our employees are willing to dedicate their lives and souls to this great cause!"

"Yes! Dedicate your soul!"

Several senior executives nearby echoed the sentiment in perfect unison, their faces bearing eerie, fanatical smiles.

Sitting below, Zhang Tianyi rested his chin on one hand, watching the group of people on stage speaking passionately.

He didn't speak.

But behind his gold-rimmed glasses, a fine layer of lightning flickered in his purple eyes.

His mental network silently enveloped the entire conference room.

In Zhang Tianyi's perception.

These executives who are currently on stage, spouting spittle and talking about love, have had their souls altered.

"This is... being completely brainwashed by the Blue Hand."

Zhang Tianyi shook his head inwardly.

"Alright, that's enough."

Zhang Tianyi suddenly spoke, his voice sounding somewhat abrupt in the quiet conference room.

Manager Li paused in his movements.

He turned his head, still smiling: "Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions? Our plan can be customized according to the investment amount..."

"Customized my ass."

Zhang Tianyi stood up, straightened his suit, and looked utterly dejected.

"Mr. Zhang? What's this...?" Manager Li was stunned.

"Chu Lan."

Zhang Tianyi ignored the manager, who was like an NPC, and turned to look at Zhang Chulan:

"I originally thought that I could catch a big boss today, or at least run into a few tough guys to spar with."

Zhang Tianyi pointed at the group of executives on the stage who were still smiling, making no attempt to hide his disdain:

"And this is what you show me?"

"A bunch of pathetic worms who don't even have their own souls, and they're here talking to me about ecological synergy and empowerment matrices?"

"This PPT is so long and boring, it almost put me to sleep."

"This is pointless. Let's leave!"

"Hey? Mr. Zhang! Aren't you going to invest? Our philosophy..." Manager Li panicked and tried to persuade him to stay.

"go away."

Zhang Tianyi didn't even glance at him, and walked straight towards the door.

"Although I am rich, I do not toss coins into puppets."

"boom!"

The conference room door was closed, shutting out the group of fanatical believers.

Walking down the thickly carpeted corridor, Zhang Chulan noticed the Second Master's somewhat gloomy expression and cautiously asked:

"Master, Qu Tong ran away too fast! She even abandoned her base? What do we do now?"

"What should we do? Let's lure the snake out of its hole!"

Zhang Tianyi walked into the elevator with his hands in his pockets, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"I'm really angry right now!"

"I really wish that old toad would jump out right now and let me vent my anger..."
