248: I'll clear away the obstacles.

"What I want is not just a list of value."

Lin Yu added a sentence.

"I want to know every single one of their price tags, their weaknesses, and their desires."

"I want a complete acquisition plan that can be used immediately."

"Tonight."

Boom!

If it was just frustration before, now Wang Qingxuan's mind had gone completely blank.

This was no longer just testing her talent.

Seeing through a person's essence and digging out all of their social relationships, background, and weaknesses were two completely different concepts!

The former was talent, intuition.

The latter required an unimaginably vast intelligence network, along with countless hours of infiltration and accumulation!

She couldn't do it.

Forget tonight; even if she were given a month, she still couldn't do it!

Wang Qingxuan's lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound.

For the first time, in front of a man, she felt an emotion called 'powerlessness'.

Just as she was about to admit she couldn't complete the task.

A figure silently stepped forward half a pace from her side.

It was Li Mo.

He still kept his head lowered, his posture humble to the extreme, as if he were only moving to make way for Lin Yu.

In a volume that was almost a whisper, audible only to himself and Wang Qingxuan, he spoke quickly.

"Miss Wang, the Boss's intention is for us to execute it."

Wang Qingxuan was startled.

Us?

Li Mo's head hung even lower, his voice carrying a hint of fanatical respect.

Lin Yu hadn't actually arranged it, but Li Mo was used to attributing such foresight to the person he served.

His stepping forward now was also to help Wang Qingxuan out of her predicament.

Based on his experience, female executives who participated in core business during a company's startup phase were of immense value to befriend!

Furthermore, Wang Qingxuan's father and Lin Yu's father had a deep relationship; the more he bound himself to such core members, the safer he would be.

This was also his way of survival.

"The Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies, all personnel at the supervisor level and above, including those core researchers you just saw."

"Their home addresses, number of mistresses, overseas accounts, personality flaws, and even what they had for a late-night snack last night..."

"I have backups of it all."

Wang Qingxuan's breath hitched for a second.

She turned her head stiffly, looking at this man who had always followed behind the Boss like an ordinary assistant.

Li Mo didn't look at her, but continued in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, unfurling a hellish picture before her.

"You only need to contact them, and then use your talent to make the final marks on my files."

"Judge who is trash and who... can be recycled."

"Tonight is enough."

A chill shot up Wang Qingxuan's spine to the top of her head.

She finally understood.

She finally understood the true meaning of the Boss's word, 'screen'.

The Boss never expected her to complete this task alone.

Before she had even been won over, an invisible net had already tightly enveloped everyone in the Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies!

A great shudder replaced her previous sense of powerlessness.

Wang Qingxuan looked at Lin Yu's back again, her posture one of looking up at a deity.

She didn't say another word, only nodding heavily to Li Mo.

Lin Yu seemed completely indifferent to everything happening behind him.

He had handed this matter over to his people.

Therefore, the matter was already concluded.

This was the effect he hoped to achieve.

Li Mo's involvement wasn't in the plan; there were originally other schemes... but this was fine too.

He had other tasks.

Lin Yu's attention returned to the very front of the group.

To the back of that old man.

Old Shi.

Just now, he clearly captured all the changes occurring in this old fox.

From the despair of a mental breakdown after being crushed by five trillion potions.

To the astonishment after that executive leaned in and whispered in his ear.

And now, that straightened spine and that deliberately feigned composure, mixed with calculation and confidence.

Very interesting.

What kind of trump card could make a gambler who had just knelt in surrender feel like he had the right to return to the table?

Abyss Domain? The military?

Or both?

Lin Yu's pace was neither fast nor slow.

He followed Old Shi across a massive Alloy Plaza and into a grand building.

Inside the building, lights blazed. Countless researchers in white coats were busy at their posts. Seeing Old Shi's group, they stopped their work one after another and bowed.

Old Shi walked at the front, his back straight as a poker, a faint glow even appearing on his aged face.

He seemed to have completely forgotten his loss of composure on the bus not long ago, regaining that heroic spirit of being in total control.

As he walked, he introduced the various arrangements here to Lin Yu, his words filled with pride and confidence.

It was as if he weren't a loser who had just had his table flipped, but was instead showing his powerful strength to a partner.

Lin Yu listened quietly, nodding occasionally.

He looked at Old Shi's rejuvenated appearance, contrasting it with his despondent state on the bus earlier.

Then, he chuckled softly.

The laugh was very soft, almost inaudible in the vast and busy hall.

But Old Shi, walking at the very front, felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his body suddenly stiffened.

An inexplicable chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet.

He forced himself not to look back, but his pace involuntarily quickened.

Lin Yu watched his slightly panicked retreating figure.

That's fine too.

It saves me the trouble of having to help him up.

His task was to help Wang Qingxuan and Li Mo clear all obstacles, giving them a green light all the way.

Lin Yu stepped forward and followed... On the top floor, an incredibly luxurious reception room.

Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was the dazzling night view of the entire Industrial Park.

Unknown by what means or technology, this place offered a panoramic view of the inner and outer parks, and even a large part of Linzhou City.

Generally speaking, a company's design philosophy reflects the personal preferences of its founder to some extent.

From the look of it, Old Shi belonged to the type who was simple on the outside but showy on the inside.

He emphasized not flaunting wealth, yet he couldn't restrain his restless heart.

Old Shi warmly pulled out the chair at the head of the table for Lin Yu, performing the gesture perfectly.

"President Lin, please take the seat of honor!"

A warm smile hung on his face, as if all the previous unpleasantness had vanished into thin air.

Lin Yu did not sit down.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the City of the Future below.

Old Shi wasn't embarrassed; he shot a glance at Wang Teng and the other two company presidents.

The four of them exchanged a signal only they could understand, and then simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.
