245: Chapter 245 Legendary Figures in the Business World

While Third-Party Technology's forces began expanding rapidly in the pokémon Dimension, Lin Fang also withdrew and returned to the real Earth.

[Withdrawal from pokémon Dimension successful. Obtained item: Mewtwo]

[pokémon weight increased. Current weight: 78%]

Returning to the Black Watch Base, Lin Fang's heart stirred. With such a large increase in weight, it seemed this cat demon was quite valuable.

[Please confirm the transaction. Selling Mewtwo will grant 3,288 plunder points]

Being so valuable, Lin Fang hesitated for a moment before choosing to sell it. After all, keeping it as a collectible wasn't nearly as important as the peace of mind provided by plunder points.

[Sale successful]

[Remaining plunder points: 4,864]

Looking at this number, Lin Fang sold a few more unimportant icons from his warehouse until his plunder points exceeded 5,000.

"Xiao Hei, have someone prepare a plane back to Coastal Sea in Central Continent tomorrow morning. I'm going back home."

[It has been arranged, Boss]

Xiao Hei was a little puzzled and asked, [Boss, why the sudden decision to go back?]

Lin Fang smiled. "I haven't been back for a long time, and Chinese New Year is coming up. It's the perfect time to stay for a few days."

"If anyone else wants to go back, they can catch a ride on the plane too."

There were still quite a few executives from Central Continent here at Civilization Science City, such as Xu Anqing, Zhou Hui, and Li Chengjian.

If they wanted to take a vacation, Lin Fang had no objections at all.

[Boss, there's one more thing. The Nobel Committee has decided to award this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine to you]

"Is that so? Does that mean I have to find time to go pick it up?" Lin Fang raised an eyebrow.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine is not awarded to organizations or powers, only to individuals. Naturally, that individual was Lin Fang, the boss of Third-Party Technology.

It finally filled the gap where someone studying Information Technology couldn't win a medical prize.

[Yes]

Xiao Hei continued, [If you don't go, Boss, the Nobel Prize won't be awarded. They have a rule that they won't give the award to anyone who refuses to accept it in person]

"Whatever they want. I'd like to see if there's anyone more outstanding in this field than our Third-Party Technology anyway."

The next day, Lin Fang stepped onto the soil of Coastal Sea once again, accompanied by Xu Anqing and Zhou Hui.

This scene felt somewhat familiar.

Actually, Li Chengjian had also returned with them, but because his family lived in Tiangang, he hurriedly transferred flights after saying goodbye to Lin Fang.

The three of them walked out of the airport discreetly.

Both Zhou Hui and Xu Anqing had been injected with the complete Gene Optimization Agent. Not to mention the former, even the latter could take down several large men if she got serious. Naturally, they didn't need any bodyguards in Coastal Sea.

Plus, with the World Wide Web established by Xiao Hei to monitor potential dangers, their safety was guaranteed.

As they walked, Lin Fang asked the two, "What are your plans now that you're back?"

"I'll probably buy a big house here,"

Xu Anqing said excitedly, "And then I'll drop by the branch office here to see if they've been slacking off."

Coastal Sea had a branch of Third-Party Technology; it was also where the company was first founded.

"Even the Boss isn't going, so why are you going there to scare them?" Zhou Hui chuckled.

"It's about making a grand appearance! Do you understand the prestige of being the CEO of the world's number one company? Believe it or not, tomorrow you might see news of me meeting with the Municipal Party Secretary, or maybe even the Provincial Committee," Xu Anqing said as she walked. Looking at the young man beside her, a flicker of emotion appeared in her eyes, but it was quickly hidden away.

"I'll also take a trip to Tiangang. Just before the New Year, I'll let the employees here feel some care from the headquarters on behalf of the Boss."

Lin Fang gave a small smile. "Zhou Hui, what about you?"

"I'll go home," Zhou Hui said after a moment's thought. "I'll visit some relatives first."

Hmm...

Lin Fang recalled that the immediate family members of these two were either out of contact or deceased.

"We can have New Year's Eve dinner together."

Hearing this, Xu Anqing covered her mouth and laughed, "Wow, Boss, you're so kind!"

"I think so too..."

After parting ways with the two, Lin Fang went straight to a secluded private venue because, according to Xiao Hei, his father, Lin Tianxiong, was there.

After he identified himself, the guard at the entrance looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"You... You are Chair... Chairman Lin?"

Wasn't this the person his own boss was desperately hoping to cooperate with and get close to? To that end, over a dozen big shots from the Chamber of Commerce were inside currying favor with his father, trying to see if they could establish a connection.

Lin Fang nodded calmly. "It's me. Is my father not here?"

"He is! He's here, he's here!" The guard snapped to attention, immediately straightening his back. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he stepped aside to clear the way. "Chairman Lin, this way please. I'll take you to him."

Meanwhile, a group monitoring from the shadows also widened their eyes and looked at each other when they saw the face from their files.

"It's Lin Fang!"

"It really is him. He's back in Central Continent. Quickly, report to the higher-ups!"

—

The guard driving the car had sweaty palms. This person's background was so immense that it made him nervous, to the point where he even forgot to use the walkie-talkie to notify the people inside.

Or perhaps he did remember, but under Lin Fang's invisible yet powerful aura, he didn't dare make a move.

The vehicle drove along the internal road until it reached an antique-style building.

The guard hurried out of the car and jogged over to open the door for Lin Fang. "Chairman Lin, we've arrived. Your father and the other bosses are inside."

The interior of the building was completely different from the outside; stepping into it felt like traveling through time.

There were deep courtyards, rockeries, and flowing water, all arranged very elegantly. The doors to the main hall were wide open, and the scent of tea wafted from within.

Sitting inside were over a dozen well-dressed men and women with extraordinary bearings—influential figures in the business world of Coastal Sea and several surrounding provinces—engaged in eager conversation.

Hearing the door open, someone looked over in displeasure. Who was so tactless?

The fat merchant, who was about to scold the intruder, discovered that the newcomer was a mild-mannered young man.

Hmm, why does he look familiar?

While he was thinking, Lin Tianxiong, who was surrounded by the crowd, eyes lit up. He stood up and said with surprise, "Son, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

This shout caused the entire room to fall silent.

The big shots, who were holding teacups or talking in low voices, all turned their heads at once, their eyes fixed on the young man.

It really was that legendary figure from the business world.

"Chair... Chairman Lin, I never expected you to return. Please, have a seat, have a seat,"

An elderly man hurried forward to greet him, while the others just stared blankly.

Lin Fang sat down naturally next to Lin Tianxiong. Looking at the somewhat somber atmosphere, he asked curiously, "Everyone, weren't you looking for me? Why has everyone gone quiet?"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. If this had been when Third-Party Technology was first starting out, they would have flocked to him long ago. But now, Third-Party Technology was a behemoth that held shares in numerous companies worldwide and could influence national economies.

It was even a private enterprise.

Thus, facing Lin Fang, who controlled this company, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.

Every single one of them was a shrewd individual; they understood perfectly well that someone who could reach such heights without being devoured must have unfathomable power and methods hidden behind them.
