Chapter 399 Li Ying
After arriving on the ground, Chen Chuan followed the guidance of Jie Ping and found the safe house where Meng Shu and others were hiding. He used Jie Ping to notify them from outside that the matter was over.
After waiting for a while, Meng Shu and Yan Yi came out under the escort of several security guards.
Chen Chuan said to Meng Shu, "The matter has been resolved. If Mr. Meng keeps his word, then you will be the only heir to the company now."
Meng Shu was silent for a moment before she said softly, "Although Grandpa and I aren't close, he still keeps his word. At least on the surface, he tries his best to uphold the rules."
Yan Yi seemed to have received some news. She looked up and said, "Miss, Meng Huang has indeed planted people around most of the important members of the Meng family. However, with Meng Huang's death, these people are useless. Miss, you can immediately send people to arrest these people in the name of the heir and protect the family members."
Meng Shu knew what she meant. This was to declare her presence, win people's hearts, and quickly seize the vacancy and position left by Meng Huang. She said, "Sister Yan, please help me."
Yan Yi nodded and immediately began to hire and arrange staff.
Meng Shu also heard a prompt from her world. She looked at Chen Chuanshu and said, "Grandpa wants me to come over."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
Although Meng Huang was dealt with, the task assigned to him by the processing bureau has not yet ended, and the next period of time is important. It is not certain whether Meng Huang has any other arrangements, so we must pay attention during this period.
He and Meng Shu returned to the manor together. Since the building in the southeast corner was almost demolished, they moved to another reception room in the north. Meng Lai was standing there waiting for them.
Seeing the two people come in, Meng Lai first looked at Chen Chuan and said very politely: "Mr. Chen, Aunt Yu has already told me that this matter is thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how to end it."
Chen Chuan said, "Mr. Meng, you're too polite."
Meng Lai smiled and said, "We at Fusion Boundary have always had clear rewards and punishments. Mr. Chen serves as our company's security consultant, but he still doesn't have a suitable place to live independently. As the company's chief executive, I can't help but ask about this."
He paused and said sincerely, "The company's board of directors has decided to reward Mr. Chen with a single-family house in Wuding District. I hope Mr. Chen will accept it."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment. Although he had a dormitory in Wuyi, it was not his after all. The apartment left to him by his parents was not suitable for living in at the moment. It would be convenient if he had a house with reliable security conditions, and he could also move some of the storage items at Wu Bei's place there.
So he didn't refuse and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
Seeing that he was willing to accept, Meng Lai relaxed a little, looked at Meng Shu again, and said, "Xiao Shu, we haven't talked for a long time, let's stay here today."
Meng Shu said, "Okay, Grandpa."
Chen Chuan could see that Meng Lai had something to say to Meng Shu, so he didn't stay long. After a few simple words, he left.
After he left, Meng Lai said to Meng Shu with a serious expression, "Xiao Shu, come with me. As the heir to the company, there are some things you must understand."
Chen Chuan went outside and saw a message from the bureau. He checked and saw that it was a message from Director Wu, so he went to an empty space and took the initiative to contact him.
After a while, the call was connected. Director Wu said, "Executive Chen, I've received your report, as well as Lao Wan and Xiao Lu's. You did an excellent job. Thanks to you, we were able to successfully expel the enemy without leaving any trouble."
Chen Chuan said, "Director Wu, Meng Huang seems very obsessed with the position of heir to the company. He came here with a clear purpose. While fighting with me, he kept drilling underground into the manor. I don't know what attracted his attention so much."
Director Wu said in a deep voice, "This might be the reason why he wants to take charge of the Fusion Boundary Company. We can roughly infer this. Although you haven't participated in the Ring Curtain Defense, since you have come into contact with the other side today, there are some things you should know. I will send you some information later. Remember to delete it after reading it."
Also, I will commend you for this operation, but to prevent a recurrence, you must remain with Meng Shu for the time being and return only after the situation stabilizes."
Chen Chuan said, "I understand."
Meanwhile, Meng Lai and Meng Shu emerged from the reception room, took the elevator down a corridor to the basement level, and boarded a small tram to the site where Chen Chuan and Meng Huang had recently fought. Aunt Yu was waiting there, bowing and saying, "Master, Miss."
Meng Lai said, "Aunt Yu, please look after this place."
Aunt Yu said, "Yes, sir."
Meng Lai took Meng Shu to open the door and walked into the underground tunnel. The two of them did not encounter any obstacles when passing through the secret ceremony. This was because they had the same blood and were also the heads and heirs of the company, which was recognized by the ceremony.
If Meng Huang had the status of an heir before, he would not be subject to any restrictions when entering here.
When Chen Chuan came in before, the place was empty, no one was there. However, when the two of them walked in, there was a long-haired woman with an outstanding figure and perfect proportions standing there.
She had a delicate appearance and a gentle and tranquil temperament, looking too beautiful to be real. At this moment, she clasped her hands together on her abdomen, bowed to the two of them with a smile, and said, "Master, Miss."
Meng Lai said, "She is Li Ying, the company's active consciousness."
Meng Shu couldn't help but look at the woman. She had heard of this consciousness before, but had never seen it.
"Xiao Shu, are you wondering why the company's active consciousness is not in the company?" Meng Lai said with a smile: "I brought her here. Her body is under the biological well in front and is responsible for protecting my body.
And she is also what Meng Huang wants to get. As long as the existence opposite swallows her, it can stay in this world for a long time and possess more powerful power and knowledge.
But this goal is doomed to fail. The government and major companies may tolerate the existence of the other side controlling a company, but they will never allow the existence of an active consciousness to appear again."
Meng Shu couldn't help but hear a lot from this sentence. Tolerating the existence of the other party to control the company... and not allowing it to happen again... Is it just because it happened before? Or is it that such people exist now?
She felt like she had learned a lot of things at once. Although it was quite shocking, compared to the collision of the worlds, it didn't seem to be a very important thing.
She glanced at the woman in front of her. Although she was only an active consciousness, she looked no different from a real person. She said, "Grandpa, so in this matter, Liying is just a bait?"
"Yes and no." Meng Lai smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that if that being can swallow Li Ying, then can Li Ying swallow that being?"
Meng Shu's heart couldn't help but beat faster, but her eyes still maintained the calmness she had long maintained.
Meng Lai was very satisfied with her performance. He said leisurely, "In fact, I provided Meng Huang with the convenience and clues for his contact with the other party. He just didn't know it."
Meng Shu finally couldn't help but look at him, looking at her grandfather.
Meng Lai said nonchalantly, "This isn't unusual. Many people are doing this now. As I warned Meng Huang, it's not impossible to cooperate with those beings. The key is whether he can control them, rather than being controlled by them."
At this point, he seemed genuinely regretful, "But he didn't pass that test. He's not a good company leader."
He paused, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "The company's real plan is to trap an opposing force. The purpose of doing so..."
He looked at Li Ying, who was standing there with a smile, and said, "It is to strengthen the active consciousness. Whether a company is strong or not depends first on the active consciousness it possesses.
Because the Molan Company lost its active consciousness, it had no choice but to withdraw from the Central City and regroup in Yangzhi, but they still failed in the end..."
He looked at Meng Shu seriously, "Xiao Shu, if we don't want to become like Molan Company, we must have a strong enough active consciousness. Li Ying is the foundation of the company. If the company wants to survive, any of us can be replaced, but she is irreplaceable.
Did you know that over the past decade or so, some people within the Dashun government and major corporations have been working hard to promote a bill that would classify all active consciousnesses and establish regulations based on this?
Once this plan is finalized, the development of all companies under the giant enterprise will be restricted, and they will never have the opportunity to grow and cross levels.
Currently, the Cheni Peninsula and the Chirogado Confederation are already implementing this set of rules, where small and medium-sized companies will never have the opportunity to grow or threaten the above.
There are still constant disputes within Dashun, because although establishing rules helps to consolidate the rule, it is equivalent to clarifying and acknowledging the status of the giant enterprise and actively transferring power.
Dashun's main strategy is to suppress the world's giants, support small and medium-sized enterprises, and eliminate disobedient companies. This is currently beneficial to us, but if this continues, we will always be just pawns.
So the company has to move forward, and there's no way around it under normal rules, so it has to use more radical methods."
He said seriously, "Xiaoshu, as the heir, when you take over the company, you must find ways to continue and implement this strategy."
As they were talking, the two of them gradually came to the biological well.
Meng Lai said, "It's right here."
Meng Shu looked at the seemingly bottomless entrance and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what can a powerful active consciousness do?"
Meng Lai looked at Li Ying who was approaching and said slowly, "There are many things. The most important one is undoubtedly military force, and also... it is the ability to help us open the door between the two worlds at any time."
