Chapter 7
After landing, Shen Jian barely suppressed his nausea, took a deep breath and raised his head. He remembered that he had set this exit at the same place where he had crossed over...
"Qingzhu." Shen Jian trembled his eyelashes and suppressed his surprised expression. In front of him was Shen Xiuzhu, who had been kneeling for a long time, as if he had been welcoming Shen Jian back.
"Boss." Shen Xiuzhu did not ask any questions about Shen Jian's sudden return, nor did he explain his appearance here. He just opened his mouth to talk about the "business" that he should not have known, "about tomorrow's weapons sale."
He saw out of the corner of his eye that the boss was sitting leisurely on the only chair. He raised his hand slightly to signal him to stand up before he stood up and continued what he had just said, "You have already browsed the new products that we will be releasing tomorrow."
Nonsense, he has never browsed it.
Shen Jian felt pain in his heart.
Shen Xiuzhu didn't dare to look at Shen Jian's expression. He pursed his dry lips, glanced over, and said in a low voice and hurried tone, "Boss, I heard that you want Xu Yinmo to go to the spire tomorrow..."
“Qingzhu.” Shen Jian interrupted Shen Xiuzhu calmly.
When Shen Xiuzhu said this, Shen Jian suddenly, inexplicably, but strongly discovered that he didn't like others prying into his thoughts. According to his plan to survive, he shouldn't be so reckless and bold without fully understanding the original owner's personality, but -
A subtle and inexplicable feeling occupied his mind, and the inviolable dignity that burned like fire rose up in his bones, as if he had said it naturally and thousands of times.
"Say that again," he ordered briefly.
The man with the sword knelt down immediately and clenched his fists tightly, "…Sorry, sir, I overstepped my boundaries."
Shen Xiuzhu trembled his eyelids, forcibly suppressing the rising panic.
It seemed that the boss had suddenly become easier to talk to in recent days, and he couldn't help but try to gain more of the boss's trust and favor.
But he forgot...the boss only allowed them to be unbridled within a certain range.
Shen Jian didn't know why he had such inexplicable emotions, but he subconsciously followed this emotion and continued to speak. His soul rose, and he looked at himself coldly in his heart, feeling panic and confusion about his current situation. He was dealing with the situation with ease, which should have made him cautious at every step.
He watched himself smooth things over for his subordinates with ease, then casually asked for information about the weapons and device documents, and then gently comforted his subordinates and sent them off.
Before leaving, Shen Jian even readily accepted Shen Xiuzhuxing's strange knight's salute, which seemed to come from an ancient century earlier than the Earth's century.
Until the end of this conversation, Shen Jian still hadn't recovered from this wonderful atmosphere.
He seemed to be immersed in it, and it seemed that it had always been like this - Shen Jian was suddenly startled.
He came back to his senses.
In front of him was not his simple law firm built with plain boards, but dark curtains made of high-quality velvet.
Always like this? Always like this? Naturally? ?
He was not the original owner. Shen Jian was extremely sure of this. He recalled his life very carefully.
Based on his confidence in his own memory, unless he was a bionic man whose genes were completely replicated and then his memories were implanted, he had indeed lived in this world for twenty-one years.
And Shen Jian absolutely did not believe that the boss of Wuyan Tower would be replaced by a bionic man under the noses of so many notorious subordinates and the original owner himself.
Therefore, he absolutely could not be the original owner, but he did not find any record of his own life in the database.
Shen Jian looked at the scarlet curtains around him in silence for a while, and then returned to the bedroom hidden in secret again.
Four fifty at night.
He glanced at the time and calmly estimated his time allocation.
He needs to return to City O before eight o'clock, which requires twenty minutes to prepare, so he must be on the shuttle at seven forty.
Less than three hours.
Shen Jian once again called up all the permissions of the Wuyan Tower. This time, he did not check his own name, but retrieved the video records of the original owner. During this period, he only took the time to flip through the black paper that he had held tightly to his heart before coming.
Yes, these two pieces of paper are indeed weapon lists, but they are not paper data storage, but special mobile hard drives disguised as paper.
But from the information just revealed by Shen Xiuzhu, this paper-like hard drive clearly comes in white, but the original owner used black.
Did he think that other people couldn't see that there was something wrong with these two pieces of paper? Wasn't it as obvious to him as the password to the monitoring room?
Shen Jian sneered, and once again confirmed that his "travel through time" was most likely done by the original owner, as if the original owner had deliberately given him this position.
But now, Shen Jian was able to put his mind at ease for the first time - the original owner's action trajectory and logical thinking were almost exactly the same as his. As long as he put himself in the original owner's shoes, he could almost come to the same conclusion as the original owner. This meant that as long as he acted according to his own thinking, he would hardly be exposed.
It was as if he was the original owner.
but……
When Shen Jian lay down in the shuttle cabin with two simple black papers, he felt relaxed.
——Chen Jian confirmed one thing from those images.
He must, must not be the original owner.
.
"Good morning, both of you." Shen Jian opened the door and gently greeted the two door gods guarding his door.
After confirming that he could understand the original owner's behavioral logic as long as he thought through his own thinking, Shen Jian seemed to have found a way to integrate into this group of monsters.
Because he thought the same way, he was just worried that the original owner wouldn't think the same way.
Now, he just needs to treat this as an immersive holographic RPG game that he has to complete. The main storyline only has two tasks: ensuring survival and finding out the truth about the time travel and returning to his own body. However, since the original owner plotted against him, it is not impossible for him to make this position real and nail the original owner as a fake... Then, the goal of returning to his own body can be slowed down.
The temporary goal is to fully grasp all the information of the Wuyan Tower, to keep all the subordinates in the hands of "Chen Jian" instead of the original owner, and to find out the disease of this body.
Shen Jian swore that he must hold on to this position so that the original owner could also experience the feeling of being calculated. The best result would be to directly replace the original owner.
Actually, it’s not that difficult.
Just like now, he could almost figure out why the two of them were staying here. It was nothing more than that he secretly observed their movements last night...
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Jian greeted him and walked towards the main venue of the Spire Conference with a gentle smile.
By the way, he took back the words he had said when he was young, which severely condemned the capitalists' exploitation of their subordinates. After all, he now naturally accepted the behavior of his subordinates following their leaders to work overtime all night without sleep and not receiving overtime pay.
Ah, I always feel that sooner or later I will be corrupted and become the leader of evil capitalists.
Shen Jian blinked, put the matter behind him, and sat in the main seat again.
"Good morning, everyone." Shen Jian said with a smile, glancing at the leaders below whose expressions and states could not be seen, "It seems that everyone slept well last night."
shit.
Chen Jian could guess with his toes that most people would not even dare to close their eyes, and would conscientiously plan today's agenda. Or they would enter combat readiness in advance to be alert to his movements...
But Shen Jian didn't sleep all night last night. Therefore, he had to use other people's mentality to balance his own mentality.
At this moment, the expressions of some leaders who were trying their best to remain calm at the table suddenly twisted into an arc, which made Shen Jian happy and his mood rose by a standard point.
Shen Lanhe, who was sitting behind him, paused for a moment, then resumed his movements silently.
"The boss's bad taste..." He murmured in a low voice, earning a thoughtful glance from another direct descendant who had a good night's sleep next to him.
"Last night, the gentleman called you over alone? Was it about today's meeting?" The man in a dark green suit with a blue and red gem brooch on his collar turned around and probed.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanhe turned around, looked the man up and down, and slowly said, "Your clothing taste is still so bad, it's embarrassing for the boss, Shen Tu."
“…” Shen Tu, who was wearing an elegant smile, froze for a moment, gritted his teeth and made a note, then turned his gaze to Shen Jian.
"Isn't today the day for everyone to speak freely?" Shen Jian tilted his head, stared ahead and smiled gently. After making the opening remarks, he changed the subject, "Everyone, please feel free to do as you please. We'll talk again at the banquet this afternoon."
Having said that, he pretended to stand up.
“Mr. Shen, you are right,” the man in the emerald gold-threaded Tang suit spoke slowly, his voice as gentle as jade, he gently spoke to retain Shen Jian, “Most of the laboratories here want to deepen cooperation with you, you can’t leave.”
The leader of 【Perilla】, Bai Rui.
Shen Jian only took a glance and then pulled up the man's information. Like the [Jade Bracelet], it started out as a luxury product and was passed down to Bai Rui for the second generation. It has now gradually transformed into a high-end luxury technology product.
However, this leader has a similar configuration to the leader in the Middle Ages, and they both like Tang suits.
Of course, [Middle Ages] is also supported.
Shen Jian stopped following the voice and turned around, “Of course, everyone, but today has always been your home court, as for me, I am not that important.”
The corners of Bai Rui's mouth were stretched into a straight line.
...What do you mean? Are you really not selling weapons anymore?
The Wuyan Tower decided to break the balance and no longer maintain this fragile peace.
Why? He didn't believe that a mere medieval provocation would make the Wu Yan Tower make such a decision.
Bai Rui looked up at the leaders who were all thinking about something, then looked back at Chen Jian, frowning obscurely.
"However, since Mr. Bai spoke first," Shen Jian walked over with a smile, patted Bai Rui's shoulder as if to show his intimacy, and ignored the man's horrified and stiff back, and continued to talk to himself, "Then, in four hours, if Mr. Bai wants to come, let's go to the private hall of Wuyan Tower and have some small talk and lunch?"
Bai Rui's pupils suddenly shrank, and his subconscious reaction was to turn his gaze to other leaders.
really.
The man looked at the obviously hostile eyes around him, and suddenly understood why Shen Jian had smiled at him hinting at him to talk.
That is not an expression of forgiveness, that is an announcement of the beginning of punishment!
When no one can touch any weapon, who knows whether there will be any shadow of weapon sale in the so-called gossip!
He wanted to stand [Shiso] upright and use it as a target...!!!
But he had to go!
Since Shen Jian has already said it, even if he doesn’t go, other organizations’ suspicions about him will not disappear, but will deepen their suspicions because of deliberate avoidance.
It would be better to directly implement this vague trading weapon and threaten other leaders.
Bai Rui gritted his teeth and hated it secretly. This was an open conspiracy. Everyone knew it was an open conspiracy, but he had to jump, and everyone had to be on guard.
He barely took a breath, stood up suddenly, and ordered his subordinates in a low voice, "Secure the core laboratory, activate the highest level of alert, and give priority to transferring high-level experimenters."
He had already seen someone giving orders to his subordinates. Bai Rui knew without even thinking that those people must want to destroy Zi Su's capital for survival before he got the right to purchase weapons so that he would fall directly off the ring.
The leader of the Wuyan Tower...his methods are still as terrifying as ever.
In just half an hour, in the conference center that seemed like a cemetery, this idea was once again deeply engraved in everyone's mind, deeply engraved, and as silent as night.
Chen Jian ignored the turmoil behind him, and he and his subordinates no longer suppressed their longing and fiery eyes towards him, and returned to his room full of joy to catch up on some sleep.
During this time, Shen Tu kept trying to attract his attention so that Shen Jian could reveal something about last night to him.
Shen Jian was annoyed and told Shen Tu to go to the back.
After a pause, Shen Jian suddenly called Shen Tu again, “Chen Tu.”
Shen Tu instantly abandoned his disappointment and turned back with surprise, "Sir, what do you want me for?"
After just a short thought, Shen Jian abandoned his reluctance and happily carried out the pastime before taking a nap: “Shen Tu, when you go back, go to my private library to pick out a suitable brooch.”
Shen Tu: “…”
