Chapter 277 - Lonely At The Top
Chapter 277: Lonely At The Top
There was complete silence.
The entire meeting room was instantly silenced.
Everyone looked at him strangely, puzzled as to why he had to stand up and disrupt such a peaceful scene. Was it not wonderful to learn that Wang Wen liked to climb the tower and teach?
A few consortium leaders who had a competitive relationship with the First Consortium gloated.
They secretly gathered and whispered, “A prodigal? He can’t be compared to the previous director.”
“He dares to stick his head out and fight head-on in this situation. He must be tired of living!”
“Shh… Wang Wen will deal with him.”
“That makes sense. The academy and the Boai Group might get most of the benefits, but we should get something too, right?”
“I’d like that too.”
He saw how Zhou Dafu slammed the table and stood up.
Lu Ci and the rest were nervous.
As a member of the First Consortium, he could not just watch his boss get killed.
However, the opponent had killed a super god. They would only give him a few more victims if they went up.
It would not stop him from blowing up anyone’s head.
At that moment, Lu Ci felt a tinge of sadness.
He felt sad for serving such a brainless boss.
At that very moment…
Everyone saw Wang Wen narrow his eyes.
His fingers gently stroked the seemingly ordinary scepter.
The atmosphere was like the calm before the storm.
No one dared to breathe.
They heard Zhou Dafu’s pained reprimand. “All of you are hypocrites who only know how to flatter and speak without actually doing anything! I’m so disappointed in all of you! I’m ashamed to be associated with you!”
He turned to Wang Wen and said sincerely, “Mr. Wang, I think your idea is excellent. It’s worth learning from the First Consortium. When I return, I’ll ask all the employees to send their children to the academy. I hope the academy will make things easier for us.”
At the end of his speech…
Zhou Dafu smiled warmly.
He stood up straight.
He was neither humble nor overbearing.
A man’s true colors.
The rest of the people were all stunned.
One by one, they looked at him with their mouths wide open as if they had seen a ghost.
Wang Wen slightly released the scepter and said to Zhou Dafu, “You have to thank your son. If it were not for Zhou Shengsheng, I would have blown your head off. ”
“Wang Wen, did you consider my feelings when you said that?” Lu Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Thinking that he still needed to borrow some tools for research, Wang Wen quickly brushed him off. “I did.”
Lu Ci felt as if he had suffered internal injuries. He felt a little dizzy and sat back in his seat, rubbing his temples and sighing.
The world’s number one person falling into such a situation was truly lamentable.
Zhou Dafu did not care about that and followed Wang Wen’s words, “So my son is your friend? That brat hid it so well that I didn’t even know about it!”
As he spoke…
He glanced around with a warning look.
Especially those who were gloating and whispering to each other.
It was as if he wanted them to know who his son’s friends were. He wanted them to remember who was in the first place.
The corner of Wang Wen’s eyes twitched, and he ruthlessly exposed him. “Director Zhou, did you forget that you shot a missile at me?”
“Expediency!” Zhou Dafu did not hesitate. He waved his hand and said, ” “I’ll fire all those idiots when I get back! Mr. Wang, if you need any compensation, just say so. I’ll agree on behalf of the group. You can even use a missile. You can choose any building in the First Consortium!”
Wang Wen did not say anything else.
He looked at the people in the meeting room.
All he saw were fawning and smiling faces.
There was no one there who could match him.
Wang Wen shook his head. He felt that no matter what he said, it would be a waste of time. He turned around and left with his men.
It was extremely satisfying to triumph in a major battle.
However, turning the tables was even better.
If the opponent surrendered too soon, the victory would appear hollow.

Wang Wen, who had yet to return to the zenith of his previous life, had already felt the chill of it.
Later in the evening…
They were celebrating at a beef hotpot restaurant.
Gu Jianbing gave him the budget list as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
The first phase of the mechanism formation’s construction required immediate payment.
One billion.
Wang Wen paused for a moment to reflect.
After all, it was something he had promised the old man, so there was no wiggle room.
As a result, he took one billion from Chen Hansheng’s trillion to give to the old man.
Then, he filled in the form and sent it to Li He.
Not long after he sent it…
He heard someone howling from outside the dormitory.
Wang Wen pretended not to hear him. He closed the door, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to bed.
The next morning.
Wang Wen felt energized as if he had been reborn. He ran around the field out of habit.
With his strength, he could only see a yellow mist dancing in the sky when he ran around the field again.
He ran for more than an hour.
He did not sweat.
Wang Wen realized that his body’s energy could be converted into something resembling physical strength.
He would not feel any pain unless his energy was depleted.
He felt sad.
He had no idea that even his favorite exercise had lost its meaning in his new life.
He did not want to waste too much energy because there was no way to repair it quickly outside the tower.
He had no choice but to sit on a swing near the field and meditate to increase his maximum energy.
It was past eight o ‘clock.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo sent a message saying that a man named Liu Bei wanted to treat them to a meal and asked if he were free.
Wang Wen thought for a moment and replied to their message. [I’m not going. But that person can be a very useful test subject. You two go. Just scare him half to death.]
After he finished explaining…
Just then, he saw Cheng Qiaoyi and Skinny Boy walk in from the school gate.
The three of them went to the food street for breakfast.
In the meantime, Wang Wen received a call.
On the other end, Chen Hansheng said mysteriously, “My subordinates have sorted out the information on the Tiansheng Group and found something that you might be interested in. Do you want to take a look?”
“Let’s see.” Wang Wen thought it was information about the World Tower.
While he enjoyed his breakfast porridge…
He clicked on the file on his phone to read it.
He immediately stopped eating.
Chen Hansheng had sent him a list of information similar to the list of informants in the intelligence department.
One of the photos looked very familiar.
It was the bespectacled girl who often hung out with Cheng Qiaoyi.
Wang Wen frowned.
He turned his head and asked Cheng Qiaoyi, who was eating a pudding, “Are you still in contact with that bespectacled girl?”
Cheng Qiaoyi was slightly stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Wen handed the phone to her. “Take a look at it yourself. I’ve mentioned that she seems close to the Tiansheng Group’s Mirror. Now, Old Chen has sorted it out. She’s an informant for the group’s intelligence department.”
Cheng Qiaoyi looked at the information on Wang Wen’s phone, and she seemed disappointed.
She shook her head. “I’ve asked her about it, but she told me that she did not know anyone from the Tiansheng Group. I did not expose her, but I found an excuse to leave. I’ve stopped contacting her.”
Wang Wen nodded, put away his phone, and saved a picture of the address on the information.
