Chapter 380: Include Everything from Top to Bottom!
"Oh? Do you really think so?"
The elder raised his head and asked with a hint of skepticism in his eyes. In his position, he had seen too many hypocritical people who clearly desired something, and even when it was offered to them, they would still make a show of refusing it, to avoid appearing mercenary.
The elder never indulged such annoying habits. He would ask once if you wanted something, and if you said no, he would ask twice. If you still said no, there wouldn't be a third time.
So everyone around the elder knew that you absolutely must not pretend in front of him. Pretend too much, and you might lose what was originally yours!
"I really don't want it,"
Song Yun said somewhat helplessly.
But deep inside, he was screaming, I do want it! There are so many things I want!
It's all because of this damn System that's making me refuse!!!
"Song Yun, although it is good for young people to be modest, excessive modesty is pride. Think before you speak..."
The middle-aged man hadn't finished speaking when the elder raised his hand to interrupt him, chiding with a laugh, "You old youngster, is that how you give advice to someone?"
"Leader, I'm not giving advice, I'm criticizing, criticizing," the middle-aged man said with a chuckle.
The middle-aged man actually had a very good first impression of Song Yun, which is why he was willing to give a hint at such a critical moment. If it were any other situation or person, if you said you didn't want it, he would have started flattering you right from the first time, and as for the thing in question, well, forget about it!
"Both leaders, I truly don't have any desires. I am very satisfied with my current life. My family is harmonious, my child is about to be born, and in terms of work, there are many professional managers taking care of things for me. Apart from setting the general direction, I don't need to worry about anything else."
"Moreover, I am not someone with great ambitions; living a good life in my small world is enough for me."
Hearing Song Yun's words, the elder fell into thought and, after a long while, nodded in approval, saying, "Being content is a good thing. There's nothing in the world that's harder to achieve than those two words.
When a person has a lot of money, they want even more, and they even want to dip their fingers into industries that have nothing to do with them, for fear of missing out on money-making opportunities. But there's only so much money; if you take it all, what will others earn? If more people were as understanding as you, my job wouldn't be so difficult." Experience new stories with empire
The elder's remarks contained certain implications, which Song Yun and others immediately pretended not to hear. While the other party's speech was one thing, it would be foolish to actually halt their own pursuits.
"Since you are so determined, I won't press you further. What are your plans for your company's next steps?"
This sudden question startled Song Yun, who was instantly clear about the elder's underlying query.
"I don't really have any plans. Others may want to go abroad and explore the world, but that has nothing to do with me. If I wanted to expand, it would be to acquire companies overseas to obtain their technology and give back to society."
"Hmm, it is rare for you to have such awareness. That will be all for today's meeting, I have other matters to attend to,"
After finishing his words, the elder stood up, and as he walked to the door, he turned around and smiled at Song Yun, saying, "I look forward to seeing you reach that stage."
After the elder and the middle-aged man left, Song Yun felt a cold sweat covering his whole body.
"Let's go, I'll see you out,"
Li Tian said with a smile to his team.
It was only after the group had left that they felt the pressure that had weighed on their hearts dissipate like smoke.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!"
"Ding! Mission completion level: Perfect!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning the favor of a VIP! Favorability Mode Activated!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 100,000 points in the System Mall!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring 93% of the shares in Hex Corporation!"
Here it comes, here it comes!
Curious, Song Yun opened the Favorability System and found that everyone he knew was listed there, with a numerical value following each name—100 being the maximum score.
The elder and the middle-aged man from the meeting were marked as 20 and 40, respectively.
As for Ye Qingqing and the others, they were all above 90!
This was an undeniable weapon!
With this, Song Yun could tell if there were any insincere people around him and, by the values, judge if some had the potential to harm his interests!
Just this alone made Song Yun's day worth it!
As Song Yun continued to look, he found the System's reward of Hex Corporation somewhat familiar. He checked his phone and was stunned!
Hex Corporation was a technology research company in the beautiful country, carrying out most of the research projects on the market, from cell gene engineering to everyday household products; they covered it all!
Such a behemoth, and Song Yun now owned 93% of its shares!
Just with some of the research from here, he could push the scientific research work of Hua Country to a new level!
Incredible, incredible!
Indeed, the rewards from the System were far greater than those from the outside world!
However, owning the company was one thing; figuring out how to extract those technologies was another matter!
Never mind, thinking about such complicated matters at this stage is just brain damage!
As Song Yun was blissfully indulging in his fantasies, a sudden screeching of car brakes interrupted his thoughts.
"What's happening?"
Song Yun looked around at the people in the car, confused.
"There's a fight going on over there."
Ouyang Jie said with a frown.
Song Yun focused and saw that a fight was taking place in a small alley.
"Hmm? They're being a bit too brazen."
If he hadn't witnessed it, it might have been okay, but now that Song Yun had seen it, he felt the need to intervene.
Moreover, judging by the looks of the brawlers, none of them were very old, and they didn't seem to be holding back at all in their fighting.
"What are you all doing!"
Song Yun got out of the car and shouted into the alley.
The few who were fighting stopped and looked toward the source of the voice.
"Look, Uncle, you sure do meddle a lot! I advise you to beat it, or I'll lump you in and beat you too!"
A girl with earrings spoke arrogantly.
As these individuals began to disperse slightly, Song Yun saw that the person being beaten was already bruised and swollen, curled up on the ground begging for mercy.
"Looking at you, you seem to be in high school! Don't you know that violence is wrong? If you keep using violence, I'll have to find your school and parents and ask them how they've been educating you!"
Li Tian also got out of the car and scolded in a stern voice at that moment.
"Why are there so many busybodies these days! You want me to stop, well, I won't stop, I won't stop! Go ahead and tell my parents if you want. I doubt such a nobody like you could even see my parents!"
The girl's attitude was extremely arrogant and unruly, causing quite a bit of displeasure for Song Yun and his companions!
