Chapter 653 Joseph's Downfall [1st Update]
This surname is extremely famous.
You can see it just by looking up as you walk down the street.
After all, Laurent Bank is everywhere.
Ninety-nine percent of people with the surname "Laurent" are elites in their respective fields.
If the host hadn't mentioned "the one in power" earlier, everyone would have assumed it was a young master from the Laurent family.
The global online live stream exploded once again.
[Holy crap, the head of the Laurent family is so young?!]
He's so handsome! His blue eyes are so beautiful.
"Mom, I want to get married."
[Sorry, but he and President Fu are a better match; they're both young business elites. [doge emoji]]
Joseph was also shocked, but more than that, he was confused and puzzled.
The man he was meeting, Kiel Laurent, was over forty years old, yet he had to call a young man who looked to be under twenty "master".
What exactly is the power structure of the Laurent family?
On the surface, this young man named "Xize" doesn't seem to have anything special about him.
Ying Zijing glanced at the red rose pinned to Xize's chest and pressed her head down.
She knew that once Xize appeared in public, he would adopt the flamboyant style of a rich young master.
It's completely out of control.
I really don't want to know him.
Ying Zijin looked away, too lazy to look again.
She pressed her earpiece, lowered her voice, and said in a light tone, "Babyface, you'll be in charge of monitoring the venue and ensuring everyone's safety."
Today can be described as the gathering of two of the world's biggest business giants.
Country J will definitely not be peaceful.
Too many people want to kill Fu Yunshen and Caesar Laurent.
Even if they don't have the ability, there are still forces that want to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, before the quarterly report meeting, Ying Zijing contacted Qin Lingyan and asked him to create a protective program.
"Received." In another private villa in Country J, Qin Lingyan stared intently at the several computers in front of him, took a sip of cola, and said, "Everything is normal at the moment. No lethal weapons have been found. The danger has been temporarily eliminated."
However, remote monitoring is not absolutely safe; it can only minimize the risks as much as possible.
"Huh?" Sinai looked up. "Are you checking for dangerous items?"
Ying Zijin nodded: "Yes, we have quite a few enemies."
Especially between Caesar and her, their feud had lasted for centuries.
Fortunately, her enemy doesn't recognize her now.
But it's uncertain whether Xize's high profile is the case.
Some people might take his photo and compare it to oil paintings from centuries ago.
"Oh, that's easy, let me take a look."
As Sinai spoke, he took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on.
Then I pressed a button on the temple of the glasses.
Several grids and numerous numerical labels instantly appeared before her eyes.
This is a massive search system and facial recognition database, capable of remote tracking.
Sinai, wearing glasses, glanced around the venue and lowered her voice: "Ah Ying, the third person in the fifth row from the left."
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes and looked over.
"He had a 20ml bottle of flammable material in his pocket, which could blow up half the venue if it came into contact with an open flame."
Qin Lingyan kept her eyes fixed on the venue.
Upon hearing this, he choked and spat out a mouthful of cola: "Big sister, who is this little girl?"
Is that eye X-ray vision?
It works better than his program?
"I just picked it up." Ying Zijing pressed her earpiece and then instructed the other person, "The third person in the fifth row on the left, take him out."
Better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.
Who would bring flammable materials in for no reason?
Moreover, the fact that someone could bring in a 20ml bottle of flammable material suggests there might be a mole within the security department.
Ying Zijing glanced indifferently at the entrance of the venue.
His divine calculation ability activated instantly, and a faint mist swept past his eyes.
Many things that have happened in the past automatically came to mind.
The first, the fourth, and the last.
They were all people Joseph had planted.
"Valence," Ying Zijing instructed again, "and these staff members at the door, take them out as well. You are in charge of interrogating them."
There's nothing the IBI can't get the answer to.
Outside the venue, Valence stood on a high place.
He glanced at his watch and said seriously, "Yes, Miss Ying."
At first, he still doubted Ying Zijin's abilities.
But after following Ying Zijin for a few days, Valens was completely convinced and admired her.
No wonder they even managed to bring down their superiors, who were known as ascetics.
Valence waved his hand, signaling to his men: "Go in, bring the men out, and protect the commander's safety."
Five investigators went in, and one of the agents who was holding back suddenly spoke up: "Commander Valence, our boss's time management skills are amazing."
Before this, even their subordinates couldn't accept that the CEO of IBI was also the CEO of Venus Group.
"Nonsense." Valence glanced at him and snorted, "So, we're both single dogs."
Agent: "..."
What is the relationship between these two?
Shouldn't it be that their boss is too good at tormenting his subordinates?
**
All eyes in the room were focused on the platform, and few people noticed that several people were forcibly taken away by IBI investigators.
On stage, Caesar continued speaking: "Laurent Bank has surpassed two billion users. Thank you for your trust."
Two billion is indeed a very large number.
"Oh, right, there's something else very important. Since everyone's here, I'll just say it." Xize, holding the microphone, looked at the host. "Is this being broadcast live globally?"
The host nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Mr. Caesar, the whole world is watching you."
“Very good.” Caesar was satisfied. “I have an announcement to make: I plan to conduct [a global [operation]]—”
He was only halfway through his sentence when he sensed a murderous aura.
Xize turned his head subconsciously.
The girl looked at him expressionlessly.
Xize's expression stiffened. After a moment, he spoke with difficulty: "Laurent Bank is preparing to issue new black cards, numbered from A to F. The A-level black card will be limited to ten worldwide. Please look forward to it."
Kiel, sitting below, twitched at the corner of his mouth: "..."
How did their owner suddenly become a salesman?
Others were also somewhat disappointed.
Oh, it's just a hair clip. I thought it was a marriage proposal.
[Let's all disperse, let's all disperse. An A-level Black Gold Card? Where are we supposed to get one?]
[You piqued my curiosity, and that's all you said? You're a scammer.]
Grandpa Zhong said suspiciously, "Zijin, I don't think he just wants to give out hair clips. He must want to talk about something else."
Ying Zijing glanced coolly at Xize as he came down from the stage, and slowly took a sip of water: "Yes, he wants to find a wife worldwide, but he doesn't dare."
Grandpa Zhong: "..."
His granddaughter started joking with him again.
After Ian finished his final presentation, the quarterly report meeting came to an end.
The host took the microphone: "Next, it's time for our dance party. Everyone is so eager to see our CEO Fu, so he will lead the dance."
"We will draw lots to decide CEO Fu's dance partner on the spot."
This sentence greatly interested the young women in the venue.
Including the princess of country J.
She rarely showed such girlish shyness.
The girl looked at the boxes the staff brought up and pursed her lips: "Dad."
James naturally understood his daughter's thoughts and patted the girl's hand: "Don't worry, Dad will fight for you."
The host then announced, "Next, we'll have our CEO draw lots to begin tonight's—"
"Excuse me, there's no dance today." An impatient voice interrupted the host. "And there's no CEO Fu either. CEOs don't have the surname Fu."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The guests were astonished to see Joseph stand up.
A quarterly report meeting became the center of a business war?
"Joseph, what are you doing?" Neil roared. "You're not even COO, and you're already trying to step on the boss's head?"
"Boss?" Joseph chuckled dismissively. "Not for long."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he straightened his suit and walked onto the podium.
Fu Yunshen turned his head, his expression indifferent.
“CEO Fu, you don’t know this yet, do you?” Joseph smiled. “During the short time you were giving your speech, Laurent Bank froze all the assets under your name.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many senior executives at Venus Group changed.
However, this excludes a few who had already been bribed by Joseph, who showed expressions of anticipation for a good show.
Neil yelled, "Joseph, you're utterly despicable!"
Joseph didn't care at all. He laughed again and said, "I'm not discussing this with you. I'm informing you that I've taken the position of CEO of Venus Group."
Fu Yunshen's eyes remained indifferent.
Joseph frowned, turned his head, and said very respectfully, "Mr. Laurent, thank you for your help."
Xize raised an eyebrow and walked up.
