Once inside the private room, it was like entering a completely different world!
The interior was unparalleled in its luxury: jade hills, gold-paved floors, and hundreds of crystal chandeliers.
In addition to the mahogany chairs, there was also a purple, high-quality animal fur draped over the rectangular table.
The private room presented a stark contrast to the dilapidated state of the outside world, like heaven and earth.
Zeng Guangtian's mouth gaped open involuntarily, but he managed to suppress it for the sake of his boss's face.
"Um, Mr. Wei, the guards can't go in."
The man in the suit smiled docilely and then stopped Zeng Guangtian from leaving.
Wei Lun waved his hand, indicating that Zeng Guangtian could just wait outside, then stepped inside.
Four men and two women were seated around the table; Cai Zhenshao was not among them. It seems this boss still holds a lot of arrogance.
Wei Lun sat in the very last seat, keeping a low profile, but his arrival aroused the curiosity of several shareholders.
They all knew that a new shareholder had arrived at the Sixth Gathering Place, but they hadn't seen him before. Now, seeing Wei Lun, they noticed his extraordinary demeanor, remarkable courage, and imposing presence, suggesting he was destined for greatness.
Sitting next to Wei Lun, and above him, was Fan Miaomiao, the wealthiest woman in this community.
She looked extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, completely inconsistent with her status as a super-rich person.
It seems that even the wealthy can't get decent food in the apocalypse; they can only occasionally eat some rare delicacies, and they still can't avoid eating mutated beasts.
Compared to Wei Lun's radiant complexion, none of the big shots in the private room appeared as healthy as him. Coupled with the radiation from the apocalypse and the lack of iodine, their bodies were constantly suffering damage.
Although they were all big shots in the Sixth Gathering, they might not be able to compare to the living conditions of Wei Lun's guards.
"You're Wei Lun? You're even more handsome than I imagined!"
Fan Miaomiao said with a smile, "This girl seems carefree, but I wonder how much hardship she has endured to survive in this apocalyptic world."
Fan Miaomiao wore a purple top paired with bright blue pants, making her look relaxed and elegant.
Wei Lun nodded to Fan Miaomiao, maintaining a slight smile on his face, appearing very gentlemanly.
"Boss Cai has arrived!"
The man in the suit at the door called out, and then a very strong man walked in.
Cai Zhenshao, being a Level 3 Enhancer, was the most powerful man among them, controlling the entire Sixth Gathering Ground.
With a single word, he could completely change everyone's fate. A calm smile graced his face as he walked in and took the seat of honor.
Cai Zhenshao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, welcome to the shareholders' meeting. As you can see, Wei Lun, the person below is our new shareholder. The braised pork trotters in your hands are from this all-powerful Mr. Wei Lun."
Cai Zhenshao began introducing Wei Lun. Each shareholder, having received a share of braised pork trotters and cigarettes, was filled with curiosity about this Wei Lun.
They had no idea how Wei Lun had obtained so much braised pork trotter rice; just thinking about the taste made them all lick their lips.
"Mr. Wei Lun, please introduce yourself to everyone?"
Cai Zhenshao, acting like a big shot, began to boss Wei Lun around, his words brooking no argument.
"Hello everyone, I am Wei Lun. This is my first time joining. I hope we can cooperate more in the future."
Wei Lun said a few simple words, and everyone started clapping wildly. They were all very envious of Wei Lun's braised pork trotters.
If they could snatch the braised pork trotters from Wei Lun, they probably wouldn't be polite and would ruthlessly devour Wei Lun's forces. However, they had obviously investigated Wei Lun's background, and considering that Wei Lun had a guard of hundreds of men, they could only suppress their ambitions.
"Alright, today our topic is about the financial system of the community, and here's the situation..."
The entire meeting was basically a performance stage for Cai Zhenshao, with the others merely echoing him with a few words, and then raising their hands to vote when it came time to do so.
At the shareholders' meeting, the one who dared to object was Yuri, who had the fewest shares. Although he only had 7% of the shares, he had the backing of other groups and dared to directly challenge Cai Zhenshao's authority.
However, most of the topics were pointless and full of nonsense, so Wei Lun wasn't very interested.
After attending the shareholders' meeting, Wei Lun took Zeng Guangtian back with him. He was particularly interested in Fan Miaomiao, and the two became good friends.
As they walked, Zeng Guangtian became very curious.
The meeting lasted for two whole hours. What exactly was discussed?
"Boss, what were the topics discussed at the shareholders' meeting? Was it beneficial to us?"
Zeng Guangtian asked with a blank expression. The soundproofing of the private room was too good. He couldn't hear a sound at all from outside, which made Zeng Guangtian extremely anxious. He was worried not only about the safety of his boss, but also about whether there were any unfavorable terms.
"Hehe, this gathering place is quite interesting. There's a patrol team of over 500 people, plus the private soldiers under the shareholders' control, making at least a thousand soldiers. Their strength should not be underestimated."
Wei Lun evaded the question and did not mention the discussion about the financial system at the meeting. After all, those were matters that Cai Zhenshao had the final say on, and Wei Lun simply raised his hand in response.
On the contrary, the armed forces at the Sixth Settlement greatly interested Weren; the group of several hundred men were all heavily armed.
With such a formidable force, coupled with their private army, it's safe to say that no one in the entire settlement could challenge their authority.
Even if Wei Lun were to bring all his troops here now, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the army of this settlement.
Zeng Guangtian was filled with questions as he listened to Wei Lun's words.
"Boss, you mean the armed forces in the settlement are very strong? Isn't that a good thing? After all, we've settled in the Sixth Settlement, and you're a shareholder."
Zeng Guangtian was a rough and uncultured man who didn't understand these intricate details; he only knew the surface-level aspects.
“Old Zeng, you don’t understand. Sooner or later, we will develop our own power after we settle in the settlement, which will inevitably affect their interests, and there will be no shortage of struggle.”
Wei Lun's words directly pointed out the key point: if one wants to stay in the settlement and develop their own power, they will inevitably have to challenge Cai Zhenshao's influence.
If relationships are not handled properly, irreconcilable conflicts will inevitably arise, and hostility will be unavoidable.
However, at this moment, Wei Lun still had a very good impression of Cai Zhenshao. Wei Lun admired his character, and his leadership skills were also quite remarkable.
As long as no one is deliberately targeting Wei Lun, he won't bother challenging their so-called authority.
The two had just returned to the courtyard when Zhu Guanjun excitedly rushed to Wei Lun's side.
"Boss, news just came from the base: they've developed a laser cannon!"
Zhu Guanjun was overjoyed, which meant that the settlement would no longer be a backward force with automatic rifles, and that all laser weapons could be developed and produced!
