After talking with the No. 2 figure, he suddenly realized that his previous path might not be entirely correct.

In the room, he looked at Xu Jiajia and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Jiajia noticed something wrong with Jiang Chuan.

"It's okay, I'm just a little confused. You always know that I'm working for the country, but in the final analysis, I'm just an arms dealer. It's impossible for me to control everything, nor can I always be at the forefront. Although I'm still young, I also have my own way to go." Jiang Chuan said frankly.

Xu Jiajia was a little surprised after hearing this. "You don't regret becoming an arms dealer, do you?"

"No! I have never regretted becoming an arms dealer, nor have I regretted returning to the Great Shang Kingdom to cooperate with the general. But a series of events that have happened recently have made me start to reflect. The second-in-command talked to me and hoped that I would move behind the scenes."

"Okay!" Xu Jiajia nodded. "Actually, when you were out there, I was always worried about your safety. Now that you don't have to show up in public anymore, maybe you can spend more time with me."

As she spoke, Xu Jiajia touched her belly.

"The baby is growing in my belly day by day. I really don't want you to be away from me when I give birth."

"Don't worry!" Jiang Chuan's mentality began to change. "I can no longer charge into battle like before. As a husband and a father who will soon be a child, the family responsibilities I shoulder are getting heavier and heavier."

At this moment, the cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

"Answer it!" Xu Jiajia looked at Jiang Chuan calmly. She believed that Jiang Chuan, who had changed, would handle the next matters properly.

"What did you say? An email?" Jiang Chuan's face changed slightly after he answered the phone.

"Yes!" the secretary stammered on the other end of the phone.

"I understand. I'll go to the office right away. Wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuan stood up.

"Oh! I just got home and hadn't said a few words yet, and I have to go back to the company again. You really don't leave me any time at all." Jiang Chuan said helplessly.

"It's okay!" Xu Jiajia hugged Jiang Chuan from behind, "From the moment I married you, I have been mentally prepared. If you don't come back for dinner tonight, remember to tell me in advance."

Jiang Chuan returned to the company again. When he opened the email, he was shocked.

This is an email from a foreign researcher, which contains detailed records of an extremely strange weapon.

"Boss, I asked you to come here in person because I couldn't understand the contents." Jiang Chuan said with worry. The research report in his hand revealed an unprecedented weapon, whose power made him deeply uneasy.

If Atlantis really succeeds in developing it, then human survival will face unprecedented severe challenges.

The boss nodded approvingly and said, "You did a great job. Your bonus will be doubled. But now, I need you to contact the person who sent the email immediately."

"I understand!" Jiang Chuan responded firmly, having made up his mind secretly.

On the way home, Jiang Chuan's thoughts were like surging waves, difficult to calm down. He knew very well that this email might indicate that a new and unprecedented challenge was quietly approaching.

And in a secret basement in Atlantis, Michelson, a researcher who just resigned from the laboratory, was anxiously waiting for a response.

Finally, an email arrived as promised. He couldn't wait to open it, but unexpectedly found that it was a job invitation.

"Go directly to Dashang Kingdom to apply for a job? Could it be that they have already made preparations and want to poach me directly?" Michelson felt surprised and happy, yet also a little uneasy.

This was actually a flash of inspiration that came to Jiang Chuan after he returned home. He immediately instructed his secretary to send out the invitation. He hoped to use special channels to safely escort this key researcher to the Great Shang Kingdom as soon as possible.

Michelson looked at the phone number in the email and felt uneasy, but he still plucked up the courage to dial it.

"Hello, how are you!" Jiang Chuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Chuan looked at the screen of his mobile phone. The area code displayed on it made him slightly stunned. "You are the author of that email, right? I didn't expect you to call me directly."

Michelson seemed a little excited on the other end of the phone, but he also revealed his concerns about the unknown future. "I don't care about the treatment. I can get good treatment anywhere. But I just want to know, how can I go to Dashang? My passport has been confiscated, and the people in the laboratory clearly told me that as an important researcher, I am not allowed to leave the country."

Jiang Chuan heard this and could only smile helplessly, "You may not have heard of me, but please believe that I have the ability to help you. Let's leave each other a common contact method."

The two quickly became friends through an instant messaging app. Jiang Chuan comforted her, "Send me your location, and I will arrange for someone from the branch to pick you up in a few days. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you. Just follow the instructions of our staff for the specific arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuan secretly felt lucky. He didn't expect that he could get in touch with such an important person with just an email.

However, Mr. Xu expressed his concerns: "Are you so careless? What if the other party is a spy? He provided such a strange technology, and you hired him so easily? Have you ever thought about why he gave you such a critical technology? How can you be sure that this technology is the secret weapon that Atlantis is developing?"

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and explained, "The intelligence I got from Pros is consistent with the information provided by this researcher. Moreover, the current situation is complex and changeable. There are some things I cannot say clearly, but can only understand."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded to show his understanding.

At this time, Xu Jiajia interrupted and said, "Hey, just enjoy your meal. You all have tense faces. Can't we talk about it in the living room?" Her words made the atmosphere at home suddenly much more relaxed.

Xu Jiajia knew that although the situation was tense, Jiang Chuan was already under too much pressure, and she hoped to share some of the burden for him.

The next day, Jiang Chuan called a meeting of all directors as soon as he arrived at the company. His face was solemn, which was very different from usual.

"Today, I want to talk to you about an important matter that concerns the future development of our company and everyone's destiny." Jiang Chuan's words made the directors present feel nervous.

"We all know that the company has always been closely linked to the fate of the Great Shang Kingdom. But this also brings a problem: as long as there is a problem in any corner of the world, I have to solve it myself. This is really tiring." Jiang Chuan said frankly. The directors nodded one after another, knowing Jiang Chuan's hard work and difficulties.

"So, what are you going to do?" the second shareholder finally asked.

"I've thought about it. We got our start with weapons and equipment. To put it bluntly, we are arms dealers. So, we should return to our roots and focus on providing our country with the most advanced weapons and equipment." Jiang Chuan's words surprised the directors and made them fall into deep thought.

Everyone was wondering why this usually resolute chairman was acting so abnormally today? Was he stimulated by something? Or was it just a whim?

Jiang Chuan looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and suddenly laughed, "Don't be too nervous. I have been thinking about this question since I came back from the Great Bear Country. Why am I so tired every day? The second largest shareholder is right, I shouldn't be in the spotlight all the time. I am just the person in charge of a company, and there are some things that I shouldn't be the one to solve."

The directors then realized that he was touched by the words of the second shareholder.

"I think what he said makes sense. As a citizen of Dashang, I just need to do my duty well. So, next I will put the company's focus back on weapons and equipment research and commercial uses." Jiang Chuan continued.

"Then what about our bank?" a director asked.

"Let's all speak freely today. Don't just let me speak every time." Jiang Chuan encouraged.

"If you ask me, just let those users deposit their money in other banks. Our bank is supposed to serve all ordinary people, but now it has become a piggy bank for the bosses in Sakura Country. This always makes me feel cold at the waist," said a director bluntly.

"I think so too. If we can return all the money to them, we won't have to worry about possible problems in the future," another director echoed.

“How can we return it? Should we directly tell Sakura Country that our company is now scared?” someone raised the question.

Everyone discussed it one by one, but no unified opinion was formed. Jiang Chuan listened patiently, he wanted to understand the current mentality of these brothers who once fought side by side with him.

Half an hour passed and the discussion still had no result, and it almost turned into an argument.

"Okay, I understand everyone's opinions. Basically, no one wants to give up our bank, right?" Jiang Chuan concluded.

"Yes!" the directors answered in unison.

"Then I have an idea. Since everyone is worried that the funds from the Sakura Country will become a potential threat to us, why not let the state hold controlling stake in the bank and we become one of the bank's shareholders. How about it?" Jiangchuan made a bold suggestion.

The proposal shocked everyone.

Giving state control means the company will lose direct control over the bank.

"Think about it carefully. If we continue to control all the rights of this bank, problems will continue to arise in the future. Can you really handle it then? We are actually controlling the wealth of a country." Jiang Chuan said earnestly.

He was well aware that his current lifestyle was full of danger and uncertainty.

If one day my head and body are really separated, then everything will lose its meaning.

"So I hope everyone can understand this truth. If the state holds the controlling stake, then all risks can be borne by the state, and we can enjoy the shade under the big tree. To be honest, this will reduce a lot of risks for everyone, and it may even make more profits to develop new products that we need. This is actually a win-win situation with no harm!" Jiang Chuan continued to persuade.

The board members were silent. They all lowered their heads and thought about this bold and tempting proposal. In the end, no one raised their hands to oppose the proposal. They all seemed to have been convinced by Jiang Chuan's words.

"Very good! It seems that everyone is dissatisfied with the current situation of the bank. So, friends who agree with my proposal, please raise your hands." Jiang Chuan raised his hand first, his movements firm and powerful.

As time went by, after experiencing inner struggles and weighing the pros and cons, people gradually raised their hands. Although several shareholders chose to abstain, the bank's equity reform plan was eventually passed.

"That's great!" Jiang Chuan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Next, this important task will be handed over to our General Manager Wang. I will fully assist in all the docking work and pave the way for you. You just need to concentrate on completing the task without worrying about any potential threats." Jiang Chuan's words were full of trust and expectation.

"Understood!" Mr. Wang nodded in agreement, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Having laid the groundwork, Jiang Chuan took the opportunity to bring up the next topic: "Next, I would like to invite everyone to pay attention to a new type of weapon recently developed by Atlantis."

As the content of the email slowly unfolded on the big screen, the whole audience was instantly shocked. Everyone knew that the power of this weapon was extraordinary and its potential threat was chilling.

"Once this weapon comes out, even our Great Shang Kingdom will find it difficult to resist it in the early stages. This is simply the ultimate destroyer of mankind!" someone exclaimed.

"Yes, the threat level is comparable to that of nuclear weapons in the last century. Therefore, we must find ways to carry out research and development, or find effective means to deal with such weapons," added another shareholder.

At this time, the shareholders all recalled the multiple bases that Jiangchuan had secretly established with the Dashang Kingdom.

"Perhaps, in those bases, we can find a way to counter such advanced weapons," someone suggested.

"Yes! What if I can successfully poach a relevant staff member from Atlantis?" Jiang Chuan's words shocked the audience again.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing..." Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, I'm tempted. If such talents cannot be used by us, they will surely be reused by Atlantis. We can't miss the opportunity." Jiang Chuan's tone was firm and decisive.

However, shareholder number two raised a key question: “What if this person is a spy?”

"That doesn't matter!" Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, looking confident. "We have dealt with many agents before. What happened to them in the end? Do I need to say more?"

The board members smiled at each other, and they all knew what was going on. "Then our countermeasure is very simple. Even if he is a spy, what can he do? The old way is to bring his family here. As long as his family is here with us, how can he pass on information to Atlantis?" (End of this chapter)
