Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan thought for a moment that if Meng Shu really fulfilled her promise, there really wouldn't be a better place to go.

However, there was a problem. This was currently just an empty promise. Meng Shu was still the weaker party and it was uncertain if she could deliver.

But then again, if that weren't the case, she wouldn't need to ask for his help.

He pondered for a moment, "But it's useless if you're the only one who thinks so. I'm an Executor of the Bureau. If I leave the Bureau to come work for you, even putting aside my own wishes, the Bureau wouldn't agree."

Meng Shu said, "If you personally don't refuse, I'll figure out the rest. And I can guarantee that all of this will be on the premise of not harming your interests."

Chen Chuan said, "Old classmate, if you can do that, I don't mind helping you."

Meng Shu nodded slightly.

At this moment, the female assistant at the door gave a few instructions, and the hotel staff began to serve the dishes. This time, the dishes ordered were all in the Yangzhi City style, and the chef was hired by Meng Shu from Yangzhi.

During the meal, the two didn't discuss what they had just talked about. Instead, they each talked about their experiences since they had parted two years ago.

After the meal, Chen Chuan and Meng Shu walked out of the courtyard together and parted at the entrance. After being escorted into an armed vehicle by security, the female assistant said, "Miss, did you talk to him?"

Meng Shu said, "Yes, I did."

"The time you spent talking was different from what I arranged. It seems you didn't use the conversation strategies I prepared for you?"

Meng Shu said, "There's no need. I understand him. It's better to be sincere when dealing with him. There's no need for so much utilitarianism and calculation."

The female assistant said, "Miss, utilitarianism and calculation are not derogatory terms. You don't need to reject or be hostile to them. When you become the head of a company, both your sensibility and rationality are your tools, and you yourself should not be swayed by the tools."

Meng Shu said, "I'm not yet, so I can still be a little willful."

The female assistant smiled, "Miss, although I don't approve of your approach, I like your persistence at this moment. So, did Mr. Chen agree?"

"He doesn't object in name."

"Since Miss has convinced him, then I take back what I just said. As long as the goal is achieved, it's a good strategy. And next, it's my job."

Meng Shu said, "I will give you the promises and authority I can give you at this moment, and I hope you can bring me the results I want."

The female assistant said seriously, "I will return with what Miss expects."

After Chen Chuan and Meng Shu parted, he met with Gao Ming, who had been waiting outside. After getting into the car, he told him about the meeting process and the content of their conversation.

Gao Ming adjusted his glasses and said, "Since Meng Shu said that in the end, she should be confident in doing this. Personally, I think that if there are no problems on the Bureau's side, then Meng Shu's side would be a good choice.

Even if the resources she currently possesses are still relatively scarce compared to the entire company, they would be quite considerable if focused on you, Brother-in-law.

What do you think, Brother-in-law?"

Chen Chuan said, "As a classmate, if she can do what she says and it doesn't affect my side, then I don't mind helping."

Gao Ming said, "The specifics depend on her handling methods. I can roughly guess what she will do. If that's the case, then that's the best result. This way, we won't be too deeply tied to the Boundary Fusion side, and we only need to maintain a personal relationship with Meng Shu.

Although both the company and the government are participants in the World Ring, both sides also have their own positions. Although you don't need to worry about it now, when you grow to the point where both sides cannot ignore you, then you must make a decision.

In fact, whether it's your relationship with the government, with the company, or your personal relationship with Meng Shu, it will change according to your strength.

We need to adjust the scale inside at any time according to the changes in the situation.

Now is when Meng Shu is weak, and she can give you a lot of concessions, but when she gradually gains control of the company, that will change. Good relationships can't offset that, so the most ideal thing is for you to maintain your progress and maintain a strong position. That's good for everyone."

Chen Chuan knew that there was nothing wrong with considering these things in advance. Taking Meng Shu as an example, she represents a company, and companies pursue profits, not simply giving. At that time, even Meng Shu herself may not be able to control it.

And not being able to correctly and clearly view the internal relationships of interest, and using a single way of thinking to face and understand these things, is indeed not the correct way to handle them.

He said, "We'll see what happens later."

After returning to the dormitory, he continued his cultivation for the day. After finishing in the evening, he went to wash up. When he came out, he was drying his hair when he suddenly thought of that Viper organization.

So he sat on the sofa and contacted Chai Mi to inquire about the current situation.

As a result, Chai Mi told him that a fighter who was originally scheduled to act together was transferred to do another task halfway through, and the manpower was temporarily insufficient, so the task was temporarily put on hold, and said that he would be notified as soon as there was news.

Chen Chuan expressed his understanding. After all, the Viper organization is an organization with several Third Threshold fighters. Without gathering a certain number of people and without absolute certainty, the Bureau would not easily take action against it.

Since this matter doesn't require him to come forward for the time being, he might as well take advantage of this time to take care of his own cultivation first.

Three days after the break, Ni Qianqian suddenly contacted him one day at noon, "Brother Chen, do you have time? Can you come to the Bureau? There are some things the higher-ups want to talk to you about in person."

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly and said, "I have time, I'll come over now."

As usual, he changed some water and food for Chao Ming, and then went out to the Bureau. After arriving at the Bureau, the internal staff invited him to the conference room where he had been before.

Director Qiu was already waiting for him inside. Seeing him come in, he shook his hand and said, "Executor Chen, we meet again. Today, I am following the Bureau's instructions to ask Executor Chen about some things."

Chen Chuan said, "Please ask, Director Qiu."

Chen Chuan frankly said, "Simply put, she now feels that she is not safe, so she wants to hire me to be responsible for security. The rest was a private conversation."

"Then did you agree to her?"

"I currently have a position in the Bureau, so I will not overstep the Bureau to agree to this matter."

"Understood." Director Qiu said, standing up and gesturing to the side with his hand, smiling and saying, "Executor Chen, please come this way. Director Wu wants to meet you."

Chen Chuan also stood up. He knew that the Director Wu they were talking about was the Deputy Director of the Bureau in charge of specific affairs. He had seen him in the files, but had not met him before.

Following Director Qiu out of the conference room, they took the elevator to the thirtieth floor and arrived at a large conference room. Two people were talking by the window. Seeing him come in, one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap, tall and upright, with bright eyes, came up and shook his hand, "Executor Chen, I am Wu Quan."

He turned to the other man, who was wearing glasses, with deep and calm eyes, "Let me introduce you, this is Deputy Director Fang, who is responsible for coordinating the internal defense of the Ring Screen."

Chen Chuan also shook hands with this man.

Director Wu said, "Come, let's sit down and talk."

After they sat down, Director Wu said, "Executor Chen, I heard what you and Director Qiu said just now. Thank you for your frankness, but this is a necessary procedure. If there is anything offensive, I hope you don't mind."

Chen Chuan said, "Since I am a member of the Bureau, I know that some things are not my own business."

"You're right, it's rare that you're willing to think that way."

Director Wu sighed. Third Threshold fighters all had certain personalities and tempers. Even if Chen Chuan didn't really think that way, it was still rare for him to show his attitude.

After waiting for the internal staff to bring up the tea and close the door, there were only three of them left here.

Director Wu said, "Executor Chen, I think you should have guessed that the reason we invited you here today is about Meng Shu's invitation. Our intention is… we hope you can agree to this matter."

Chen Chuan said, "Can I ask why?"

Director Wu said, "As you know, the Bureau's main task is to target the criminal behavior of fighters, but we also have a responsibility to cooperate with the country to suppress and restrain the expansion of various companies.

Nowadays, various companies have independent security systems. We need to be able to make them restrain themselves at critical moments, but direct confrontation is not a good choice, especially at this time.

Our strategy is to win over and support some small and medium-sized companies in the same ecological niche, and give them certain help to contain those large companies.

And the Fusion Boundary takes a large number of orders from the government and military enterprises every year. Its ability to get to where it is today is inherently due to government support."

Deputy Director Fang said at this time, "One of the heirs of Fusion Boundary, Meng Huang, used to receive our help. He now has his own ideas, and many of them, but the key is not here…"

He then said in a deep voice, "We now suspect that Meng Huang may have had contact with a certain existence on the other side."

"The other side…"

Chen Chuan, associating it with the direction Deputy Director Fang was responsible for, immediately realized that what he was talking about should be something on the other side of the World Ring.

Deputy Director Fang said solemnly, "Meng Lai, the original head of Fusion Boundary, previously stated that he would no longer manage the company's affairs, which may also be related to this matter. Although there is no concrete evidence yet, we cannot let such a person become the head of a medium-sized company."

Director Wu said, "We have been looking for a way to intervene, but to avoid alarming Meng Huang too much, we haven't found a suitable entry point, but now there is an opportunity."

He looked at Chen Chuan, "Executor Chen, we hope that you will agree to Meng Shu's request. Before the Bureau completes its investigation and deployment, we need to ensure that she is not dealt with by Meng Huang, but at the same time," he paused, "you must also ensure your own safety."
