Chapter 715: Can It Really Scare Someone to Death?

After listening to Su Mansu’s report, Liu Yutong gently set down her teacup and said to Zeng Jin, “President Zeng, it seems we need to find another place for a detailed discussion. There’s a small situation in Pearl City that requires my attention. Why don’t we go together? I can also show you around Wanlong Society.”

Zeng Jin had been worried about not having a chance to gain deeper insights, so he immediately nodded. “I’ll follow Chairwoman Liu’s arrangements!”

The two had just stepped out of the office when they ran into Qiu Ciyun and Liang Mengsong, who were returning from the production line, right at the corridor corner.

“Chairwoman, are you heading out?” Qiu Ciyun asked hurriedly upon seeing Liu Yutong’s apparent intention to leave.

Liu Yutong nodded. “Yes, some urgent business in Pearl City requires my immediate attention.”

Then, she turned to Liang Mengsong. “Engineer Liang, how was the tour? Satisfactory?”

Liang Mengsong was a practical man who disliked empty formalities, so he spoke plainly: “This production line was led by Chief Qiu after all, so there’s little need for excessive praise. Moreover, the Dragon Core team is highly motivated, and their future planning and technical roadmap are crystal clear.”

He paused before continuing, “However, the overall process technology still lags far behind international standards. Catching up will likely be extremely difficult and require substantial investment.”

“You needn’t worry about that. We have time, and funding is absolutely not an issue.”

Liu Yutong suddenly changed tack and asked him, “By the way, Engineer Liang, would you be interested in visiting Pearl City? The Wanlong Society headquarters is located there, and you could gain a more comprehensive understanding of our group’s strength. After all, when choosing a new platform, one cannot consider only the technical aspects—corporate culture and team atmosphere are equally important.”

Qiu Ciyun’s eyes lit up, and he immediately chimed in: “Yes, yes, yes! Engineer Liang, you should definitely go see it! Pearl City is the Chairwoman’s stronghold—a place of outstanding people and spiritual power, with a safety index that’s top in the nation… no, top in the world! Especially the corporate culture of the Chairwoman’s company—it’s truly very special. You’ll regret it if you don’t go see it!”

He himself had nearly been terrified by the dense crowds of black-clad enforcers from Wanlong Society—so intimidating, so “society” in the organized crime sense—and naturally wanted Engineer Liang to experience it too. This was his little private joke.

Of course, the main point was that he wanted to remind Liu Yutong that she needed to pull out all the stops to truly ‘reassure’ Liang Mengsong and make him stay, just as she had done for him back then.

Once someone had witnessed the “true face” of Wanlong Society, not a single person wanted to get off the ship.

Truth be told, he was now quite looking forward to seeing Liang Mengsong’s expression when he witnessed that formation of black-clad men.

Liu Yutong nodded and extended the invitation once more to Liang Mengsong: “Let’s go, Engineer Liang. President Zeng will be joining us as well.”

Liang Mengsong had wanted to decline. He was a tech person at heart and had little interest in so-called corporate culture.

But Zeng Jin was extremely interested. He very much wanted to see what the legendary Wanlong Society headquarters looked like.

When he saw that Liang Mengsong seemed unwilling to go, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liang Mengsong’s arm, assuming an “if you don’t go, I’ll fight you” posture.

Helpless, Liang Mengsong reluctantly nodded. “Then I’ll trouble Chairwoman Liu.”

“No trouble at all.”

Liu Yutong turned to Su Mansu and instructed, “Arrange the cars. We’re heading straight back to Pearl City. Also, notify Ma Da to make preparations.”

“Yes, Boss.” Su Mansu nodded.

Soon after.

A black Maybach and several Mercedes drove out of the Dragon Core factory, speeding toward Pearl City.

Su Mansu sat in the passenger seat of the Maybach and dialed Ma Da’s number.

“Brother Ma, the Boss will arrive in Pearl City in an hour. By the way, is there a core member promotion ceremony scheduled for today?”

Ma Da’s loud and boisterous voice came from the other end of the line.

“Promotion ceremony? No, the junior members haven’t completed their probation period yet.”

“Brother Ma, we can have one.”

“Huh? Special Assistant Su, we really can’t. The procedures don’t allow it…”

“Brother Ma, we really can have one.”

“We have guests visiting.”

The other end fell silent for two seconds.

Then Ma Da suddenly understood and said excitedly, “Oh! I get it, I get it! Yes, yes, yes! We must have one! Absolutely! I’ll arrange it right away! I’ll make sure the spectacle is unforgettable for our guests! Hehehe…”

Click…

The call ended.

Only then did Su Mansu turn to look at Liu Yutong. “Boss, everything is arranged.”

Liu Yutong nodded and gave an acknowledging sound.

Zeng Jin, who was sitting with her in the back seat, was completely confused. What was all this “can have, can’t have” business?

Why so mysterious?

But he could roughly guess that they were planning some kind of special welcome ceremony for them, and that it would probably be rather unusual or large in scale.

But how big could it really be?

Having grown up in Taiwan, he’d seen it all—brawls between hundreds of gang members, even participated in some himself.

Though Wanlong Society was formidable, could a mere welcome ceremony really scare him to death?

What a joke!
