Atlas of Heaven and Man
#367 - Hills
The indicator numbers on the elevator flickered, and when they pointed to the first floor again, the doors slowly opened. Chen Chuan walked out, and as he walked along the corridor, he turned his head to look outside.
Through the reflection of himself on the glass, he saw the buildings outside and the slightly narrow sky. The azure sky was still bright, but at this moment, several thick clouds were pressing down on it.
A layer of mist was lifted as before, but an even greater haze enveloped the top of his head.
Specialist Liang had said a lot just now, but he felt that when it came to matters involving a world crisis, the other party couldn't possibly tell him everything. At most, they would say things selectively.
Moreover, the other party only mentioned the government's attitude. However, this world is actually ruled by both the government and companies. Neither side can ignore the other. So, what are the company's thoughts?
Regarding this matter, and how to proceed next, he needed to think carefully.
He walked all the way down the long corridor, while the light and scenery outside the window slowly receded behind him. Just as he was about to walk out, a line of messages suddenly popped up on the interface:
"Executive Chen, an item has been placed in your personal storage locker. Please pay attention to receiving it."
Chen Chuan glanced at the route prompts given later on the interface and walked over there. Two minutes later, he arrived at a lounge and received a set of keys from the caretaker.
After signing, he walked to a door at the back. This place was said to be a storage locker, but it was actually a storage room of about six square meters, with a number on it: 6002.
He pushed the door open and went in. Inside, there was a metal table. Against the wall was a corner cabinet more than one person tall. After inserting the key and opening it, he saw that there were partitions separating the upper and lower levels. In the middle position, there was a long wooden box with a carrying strap.
He took the item out and placed it on the table behind him. He removed the sealed tape, and after opening the box, a short knife was placed on the soft pad.
This knife was the same style as the one he had ordered before, about sixty centimeters long from head to tail. He took the knife out of the box, held the handle, and slowly pulled it out. The smooth, bright blade immediately reflected his face.
With a clang, he pulled the entire blade out. He tried to rotate it and felt that it was very handy, completely meeting the requirements he had previously made.
He could also feel that this knife was also a weapon of alteration, which could grow during use. In this way, he would have handy weapons for both long and short distances.
But the most important thing was having a spare weapon.
Previously, when he fought Wei Wusheng, the opponent directly used his body to seize his weapon, so in the end, he could only fight him with his bare hands.
If he had such a short weapon at that time, he would have had one more option.
He sent the blade back into the scabbard, put it back into the wooden box, turned around, locked the cabinet door, and then left the Processing Bureau with the item.
He went to the parking lot to get his car, started the car, and left. As he drove on the road, he couldn't help but think. According to Specialist Liang, cultivation to the Third Threshold required some special drugs, and they were not provided just because one accepted the conscription. Instead, they were provided only after making certain contributions and achievements.
But this was still based on the situation of ordinary people. The amount he needed was definitely several times that of ordinary people, only more and not less. This made it extremely restricted.
However, the information he had now was very limited. He felt that he could consult Cao Guichi from another place, to see if that person had any suggestions.
Just at this moment, Gao Ming suddenly contacted him.
Chen Chuan connected and said, "Gao Ming, what's the matter?"
Gao Ming said, "Cousin, yesterday people from Fusion Boundary Company contacted me and said they wanted to meet you."
"Fusion Boundary Company?"
Chen Chuan searched on the interface. This was a company dedicated to producing high-strength biological materials and biological components. They seemed to have cooperative relationships with City Patrol, City Security Company, and the Processing Bureau. Many security protective clothing and biological armor on the market were produced by this company.
This company was in the middle level in Central City. Although it could not be compared with the top companies and giant enterprises, it was equivalent to Molan's company before its decline in terms of size, and it was still on the rise.
Gao Ming said with a smile, "This time, the person looking for you is our acquaintance, an old classmate."
Chen Chuan's eyes moved. If there was anyone in Central City who was their old classmate, then there was only one person. He said, "Meng Shu?"
Gao Ming said, "It's her."
Chen Chuan had known before that Meng Shu originally lived in Central City, but he had never said what her specific background was. He could only see that her family background was quite good. It turned out that she had a background with Fusion Boundary Company.
He asked, "What does she want to see me for?"
Gao Ming said, "It should be related to you becoming a Third Threshold fighter. I checked it out. Fusion Boundary, like other companies, has been investing in fighters for a long time, but the upper management of Fusion Boundary Company seems to be dissatisfied with the person in charge of this aspect, and has successively replaced five people in recent years.
In addition, there is an unconfirmed news that Meng Lai, the founder of Fusion Boundary, is said to be preparing to let his successor take over because of his old age. Currently, the person in charge of the company's main business is his grandson, Meng Huang.
It's just that Meng Huang has not been officially announced as the heir. It is said that our old classmate is also highly valued by her grandfather. Meng Lai should have acquiesced to the competition between the two of them.
This Meng Huang has been living in Central City before, and is already over thirty years old. He has been participating in and managing the company's business for a long time, and his power in Fusion Boundary is deeply rooted. It is not optimistic for our old classmate to compete with him for the position."
Chen Chuan nodded. He did not continue this topic, but said, "Gao Ming, today I went to the Processing Bureau and learned some important information. I just wanted to find you. It's not good to talk about it on the interface. We need to talk in person."
Gao Ming heard the solemnity in his voice and responded decisively, "Okay, cousin, you are my first client, I will come out now."
Chen Chuan said, "I will give you an address, we will talk there." After sending the address, he drove directly to the area where Teacher Wu's residence was located.
After waiting for not long, a silver-gray car drove over and stopped at the bottom of the mound. The car door opened, and Gao Ming came out from inside. He walked towards where Chen Chuan was standing, and pulled his collar, "Cousin, it's very windy here."
Chen Chuan looked ahead and said, "That shows that there are fewer things blocking it, allowing us to see farther."
Gao Ming came to his side.
The latest novels are at 69shuba.com!
This news was allowed to be told to two relatives. He felt that his aunt and the others did not need to know these things, which would only increase their worries. Instead, Gao Ming, as his personal lawyer, needed to know these things.
After hearing this, Gao Ming not only did not show any fear or apprehension, but the eyes behind his glasses became brighter. He said, "Cousin, I have always felt that the higher-ups are hiding something, but I didn't expect it to be like this," he smiled, "Actually, I am very much looking forward to such changes.
In this world, most of the upward paths are blocked. No matter who it is, they can only go up one level at a time along the fixed steps. It is difficult to overstep, and after walking to a certain step, it is difficult to move forward even one step.
However, such a crisis makes previously impossible things possible. Under strong pressure, the structures that were originally twisted together, densely intertwined in one place, will begin to loosen, fall off, and reveal gaps…"
He stood side by side with Chen Chuan, looking into the distance, "Cousin, you are right, although it is very windy here, it is because there are fewer things blocking it, and we can see farther."
Chen Chuan slowly said, "The changes in the world may intensify in the next few years."
Gao Ming pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, "Yes, a new era is coming. We are fortunate to know in advance and can make some preparations in advance. It is not too late now."
He turned his head and said seriously, "Cousin, you must seize this opportunity. Judging from the government's attitude, they are excluding those non-orthodox fighters. They cannot obtain anything in this or in the future.
The closer you are to the center of the crisis, the greater the return you can get, and the farther you are, the less you will get. You can only be tossed about by the waves of the world. Instead of passively accepting it, it is better to actively participate."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
He said at this time, "What is your opinion on the matter of Meng Shu looking for me?"
Gao Ming said, "Cousin, my inclination is to meet her. After all, we were once classmates. She is now one of the heirs of a large company, and you are a fighter. There is no conflict in identity. Even if you don't cooperate, you can still interact normally.
But now there is one more reason. Cousin, you can inquire from there to see how much she knows about this matter.
If she says she doesn't know about this matter, then it means that she is not valued by her family at all. Then, just maintain the relationship between classmates in the future, and don't get too close.
If she knows, then we may be able to ask some things from her. The same thing is completely different when said in the eyes of the company and in the government.
If she really wants to recruit you, cousin, then she may give out some things that you couldn't hear before. At least we can have one more channel to understand."
Chen Chuan thought for a while and nodded, "Then help me make an appointment."
Gao Ming said, "Okay, cousin, I will arrange it for you."
