Chapter 870: Submerged Waves and Surging Tides
The Linked Vast Security branch in Jinbei Province had been dealt with, effectively severing their extended influence. However, the company itself had suffered no significant losses, as far as he knew. They were even pursuing a national lawsuit, and the Security and Defense Department had received a complaint against the Handling Bureau, indicating their unwillingness to give up on business expansion in Jinbei Province.
As Chen Chuan's airship departed from Southern Mountain Province, in the Central City of Southern Mountain Province, over a dozen key directors of the Linked Vast Security headquarters were gathered for a meeting.
One of the directors questioned the information analysis manager at the front, "How much impact will this incident have on our business operations?"
The analysis manager replied, "If the local military deployment no longer sells arms to various resistance organizations, we can transport arms from other regions to Southern Mountain Province. However, after the internal problems within the military deployment are resolved, their next step will definitely be to intensify the suppression of the resistance organizations and cut off all arms supply channels. Instead of profiting from this, the company may suffer even greater losses."
"We will need to assess the impact based on the subsequent progress and development of the situation."
The dozen directors immediately engaged in discussions, strategizing about adjusting their business operations and minimizing potential losses.
At this moment, one of the directors knocked on the table and addressed the directors present and those on the screen, "Gentlemen, please allow me to interject. Beyond immediate interests, we should prioritize long-term planning, and there's one person we must pay particular attention to."
He gestured, and an image of Chen Chuan's upper body appeared on the screen. The photo was taken from an overhead angle, and Chen Chuan seemed to have noticed something, looking over with cold, piercing eyes while holding a long sword. This momentary freeze-frame made everyone who saw it feel a chill.
"Chen Chuan, the Director of the Security and Defense Department in Jinbei Province, a Fighter, and the former Investigation Supervisor of the Handling Bureau in Jinbei Province."
The director continued, "This person played a crucial role in the Southern Mountain Province incident. It was because he severely injured Bai Guwen that the Government Hall and the Defense Department were able to completely resolve the military deployment issue."
"Has the person left? Is there anything else worth noting? Is Director Xing suggesting that he will return?"
Director Xing clarified, "I'd like to emphasize that this is not the first time this person has dealt with our Linked Vast Security company. It was during his tenure as the Investigation Supervisor that our company's arrangements in Jinbei Province were disrupted. Now that he has become a Fighter and been promoted to Director of the Security and Defense Department, the company's return to Jinbei Province seems more distant than ever, hindering our strategic advancement."
Linked Vast Security, a transport and security company, had primarily operated in the vast region of the midwest and the border between the eastern and western continents of Great Shun.
However, the company was not content with this and had been expanding its market reach. Their original strategy was to establish operations in Jinbei Province, as it was the waist of the eastern region. Securing Jinbei Province as a pivot point would effectively connect the entire East Coast.
Director Xing continued, "Currently, Jinbei Province is in the process of establishing an airship transport company. Once successful, they will establish mature transport channels, and our small share of the eastern transport market will be taken over. We may permanently lose this market, confining our company to the inland regions. Therefore, we must devise a targeted strategy, which is crucial for the company's future development!"
One of the directors asked, "Does Director Xing have a specific plan?"
Director Xing held up a document and waved it, saying, "Gentlemen, we have received a letter from our business partners in Jinbei Province. They are also dissatisfied with the suppression they face from the Jinbei Province Government Hall. Internationally, the Federation, the Linarkis Federation, and numerous foreign companies are also unhappy with the current situation and are seeking change. I believe we can join them."
The directors discussed among themselves for a while, and one of them cautiously spoke up, "I noticed the key point you mentioned, Director Xing, which is about Director Chen. You are talking about a Fighter. It's not wrong to unite various forces and make allies, but these don't seem to address the issue you described. How do you plan to convince him personally? I don't think that path will work."
Director Xing replied, "Regarding this issue, I believe that a person with ambition will not stay in the Central City for long. He will definitely go to the Converged Land." He paused, "If he stays there and doesn't return, I think it will be beneficial for us, and it's what everyone hopes to see."
Although he didn't explicitly state it, the directors present understood his implication—to find a way to keep him in the Converged Land, preventing him from interfering in Central City affairs. Connecting this to the previously mentioned 'business partners,' this approach might be quite 'radical.'
The directors' faces turned tense and serious, as they were discussing targeting a Fighter, which carried significant risk for Linked Vast Security. Therefore, everyone remained silent for a moment, and no one spoke up.
Director Xing did not ask for an immediate response from them; he merely raised a topic today. Some matters did not require the agreement of everyone; as long as no one opposed it, it was sufficient.
The matter was not mentioned again during the meeting. After the meeting concluded, Director Xing returned to the lounge, where a middle-aged man was already waiting for him.
He sat down and said, "Mr. Wang, I have brought up this matter at the board meeting as per your request. Next, I will strive to obtain the board's approval as soon as possible."
The middle-aged man smiled and thanked him, "Director Xing, thank you for your support. I have just received some news that may be of help to you." He paused, "This Li Commander is from the same faction as our military deployment fighter, Chang Shuyu."
Director Xing's eyelids twitched, and an image of a resolute soldier immediately appeared in his mind. His expression turned solemn, and he said, "Is that so?" He thought for a moment, "If they are from the same faction, then this operation makes sense."
Mr. Wang said, "Therefore, we deduce that his visit to Southern Mountain Province was not merely a simple family visit but a premeditated collaboration. If they can collaborate once, there will likely be a second time, which is a concern for both parties."
Director Xing leaned back, appearing deep in thought. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I can continue to promote the matter of the active consciousness entity here, but even if the board approves, you will still need to deliver it to the Converged Land yourselves. Our company will not participate directly in the operation."
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "That's understandable. We will handle this matter ourselves and only require your company's technical support."
Director Xing's expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded. The middle-aged man smiled, "Then, Director Xing, we can assure you that once the greatest obstacle is removed, Jinbei Province will welcome your company's return."
On January 29th, the airship carrying Chen Chuan returned to Jinbei Central City. The massive airship flew over the central city and headed towards the Radiant Zone.
Nian Fuli and Yu Wan stood by the porthole, gazing at the scenery below.
Although they had previously been to the Southern Mountain Province Central City to shop, most of their time was spent in cars, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and various lights and sounds, leaving them overwhelmed. A quick glance was not enough to truly understand the central city, but now, from this high vantage point, they felt like they could see everything.
As soon as Chen Chuan returned, the Spider Mother's voice rang out, "Director Chen, welcome back. You currently have 127 pending messages and 39 unidentified contact messages. Do you need to process them now...?"
Chen Chuan asked the Spider Mother to filter out the unidentified messages and then looked at the remaining messages, prioritizing the important ones for response. Most of them were work reports from the Defense Department.
Even during vacation time, the city patrol and handling bureau, as a law enforcement agency, could not completely stop its operations. There were also some important documents that required his signature, which could not be decided by a few deputy directors.
After quickly handling the matters, the airship arrived above Jin Feng Yuan, where Chen Chuan lived, and slowly descended onto the anchor tower.
Once the airship came to a complete stop, Chen Chuan and his aunt's family disembarked and entered the villa.
Upon entering the main door, they were greeted by a spacious living room large enough to host competitions. The two little ones exclaimed in awe at the size of the house and happily ran around inside.
Nian Fuli and Yu Wan were also surprised. Chen Chuan had told them that his residence was not small, but they had expected it to be only slightly larger than General Han Kang's villa. They never imagined it to be this grand; calling it an estate would not be an exaggeration. However, after experiencing the recent events, they were now able to accept it calmly.
At this moment, a servant approached and took their luggage, placing it in their rooms. Chen Chuan then led his aunt's family to choose their rooms. After making their selections, each person went to freshen up.
Nian Qian was the first to finish and come downstairs. He saw that the servant had already prepared some exquisite tea and snacks for the afternoon. Feeling hungry, he took a piece and began to eat, finding the taste delightful. He joked with Chen Chuan, who was standing nearby replying to messages, "Little cousin, do you think it's still possible for me to learn martial arts?"
Chen Chuan, having just ended a call, turned around and smiled, "Little cousin, although this place is big enough, there are also many things that need my attention."
"That's true."
Nian Qian leaned back in the armchair and looked up. Suddenly, he said, "During my training, the military always emphasized being prepared for the Grand Collision, but no one could clearly explain what the Grand Collision was. Little cousin, what do you think it might be?"
Chen Chuan glanced outside, and in his eyes, the vortex at the edge of the sky seemed to have intensified. He walked towards the floor-to-ceiling glass and stood there, gazing intently at the sky above, "No matter what it is, when the time comes, I will stand there and witness it with my own eyes."
