232: Chapter 231 The Mysterious Guest

After leaving the Police Station, Wang Shuo had been thinking about one question.

What if Director Jiao refused this gift?

It was not impossible for that to happen.

The things he had handed over to Deputy Chief Li Mingwei were both a gift and a hot potato.

Whether the value of this gift could be maximized was not up to him, nor was it up to Deputy Chief Li Mingwei; only Director Jiao, a figure who could be considered a high-ranking official in the Chinese police force, had enough weight to make that call.

But this weight was insignificant in front of some people.

Fortunately, Wang Shuo did not intend to leverage this information for anything; he only wanted to combat crime.

That was all.

Just as he had said to Director Jiao before, everything was for justice.

The only thing that worried him was whether Director Jiao would also act for justice?

He no longer worried about this point after Wang Shuo received the call from Deputy Chief Li Mingwei confirming his clear stance.

It seemed that his stance was temporarily aligned with Director Jiao, and in that case... it seemed he could send more gifts to Director Jiao?

Exhaling slightly, Wang Shuo turned his gaze back to his phone screen.

This was a message Liu Yemei had just sent.

"Someone wants to see me?"

Wang Shuo frowned.

Ever since he was forced to meet two people from Japan who showed up at his doorstep last time, he had been very repulsed, even somewhat disgusted, by this method of direct visitation.

"Can I decline?"

"Yes." Liu Yemei replied: "But it is best not to."

"Are they influential?" Wang Shuo asked.

"Yes." Liu Yemei replied quickly: "They are on par with Maple Leaf Capital."

On par with Maple Leaf Capital?

Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised.

At a similar level to Maple Leaf Capital?

That meant that this capital group coming to find him had at least a trillion-level capital.

Trillion-level.

This was a level that even Chen Zhongxuan could only sigh at.

Chen Zhongxuan had worked hard for thirty years, and it was only a hundred-billion-level company.

Even that was inflated with quite a bit of fluff, and it had almost suffered a heavy blow.

If not for Wang Shuo, the Chen Group would probably just be a ten-billion-level company right now, and the hundred-billion level would only be a luxury wish for Chen Zhongxuan.

Not to mention others.

A hundred million was almost the upper limit of an ordinary person's fantasy about their own wealth.

Anything more than this number already exceeded the cognition of the vast majority of people—they did not even know what this money could do or how it should be spent.

Trillion-level had already entered the blind spot of ordinary people's understanding, to the point where they dared not even imagine it.

If a normal-looking person suddenly ran up to you and talked about how to spend his trillion-level assets, please just slap him awake directly; that would be doing a good deed.

Such a big group, suddenly coming to find him?

A series of thoughts flashed through Wang Shuo's mind, and he finally typed two words: "I will meet them."

...

In the reception room on the second floor of the Frontier Technology Company in the Software Park.

young man was sitting calmly on the sofa in the reception room, looking over the layout of the room with great interest.

Sitting in the seat next to him was a formally dressed Female Assistant.

At this moment, she was holding a tablet, concentrating on operating something.

After a while, she looked up.

"General Assistant, the written resolution from the Board of Directors has been sent over. Would you like to take a look?"

"Yes."

Nodding slightly, young man took the tablet from the Female Assistant and flipped through it gently. After a while, he handed the tablet back to the Female Assistant and laughed: "These old antiques are indeed too rotten."

young man shook his head and did not continue speaking.

The Female Assistant hesitated slightly before asking the question in her heart: "General Assistant, do you think the amount of funds approved by the Board of Directors this time... is not enough?"

young man chuckled and asked back: "Do you think it is enough?"

"But..." The Female Assistant hesitated: "This is already the largest single amount approved by the group in the last five years. If it were not for your analysis report and suggestions, the Board of Directors would not have made such a decision."

"That is why I think they are a bit rotten."

young man straightened his body, leaned back on the sofa, and said indifferently: "They are just a group of greedy people clinging to power. Their vision and experience are already outdated and cannot adapt to the new era before us."

"Tell me..." young man turned his head and glanced at the Female Assistant: "How can such a rotten Board of Directors lead the group into the next century?"

The Female Assistant lowered her head slightly and did not speak.

Seeing that the Female Assistant did not respond, young man withdrew his gaze with some disappointment and continued to look at the furnishings in the room, as if something extraordinary in this room had attracted his attention.

"General Assistant..."

A few minutes later, young man heard the Female Assistant's voice again.

"Do you think Frontier Technology Company will accept your terms?"

As for this question...

young man revealed a faint smile.

"They will."

The Female Assistant indeed showed a trace of surprise: "Why?"

"Because they cannot afford to offend another consortium." young man laughed: "If I were the person in charge of Frontier Technology, having already offended one huge consortium, I would not take the risk of offending another."

"Are you planning to reveal your identity directly?" The Female Assistant was even more surprised: "Are you not going to conduct an investigation first?"

"Why not?" young man curled his lips: "Boring things like investigations are only done by those inflexible old stubborns on the Board of Directors. For me, as long as I believe it can succeed, that is enough."

The Female Assistant was slightly speechless, but not at all surprised.

This was the style of the General Assistant.

For this, he could even invest a huge amount of capital.

Of course, the returns on these investments were also amazing.

Considering the General Assistant's formidable resume, she seemed to have no standing to continue advising him.

She changed the subject.

"General Assistant, do you think Frontier Technology cannot resolve this turmoil?"

"What do you think?"

The Female Assistant was very familiar with this rhetoric.

Whenever the General Assistant asked this question, the underlying meaning was to express affirmation.

Frontier Technology could not resolve this turmoil?

"The Maple Leaf Group is a large consortium that is not inferior to us in all aspects. If you add their overseas operations, even we are not as good as them."

young man smiled: "Do you think if such a consortium were to move, would it only engage in some small, petty actions?"

"You mean..." The Female Assistant was thoughtful: "The Maple Leaf Group has another move?"

"This is almost certain." young man said indifferently: "Cutting off the supply chain and creating a public opinion storm are just means to make Frontier Technology unable to cope with itself. The real fatal blow is still to come."

What could it be?

young man looked at the teacup in his hand, a smile on his lips.

And just at this moment, the door of the reception room made a soft sound.

young man and the Female Assistant looked up at the same time.

They saw a tall and sturdy young man standing at the door, his pitch-black eyes revealing an inexplicable expression.

Wang Shuo had arrived.
