What Do You... Think of Freedom?

Should this high-ranking position in the organization be given to him?

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought; actually asking these high-ranking officials to step down would be like killing them.

They will absolutely not agree.

"Very good. Mo Chen truly deserves to be a backbone of our company; his spirit is worthy of our encouragement."

"If everyone learns from him, the company will surely flourish very quickly."

The higher-ups couldn't wait to summon Mo Chen.

The key is that student; we absolutely must bring him here.

Mo Chen led Wu Feichen on a leisurely stroll through the company's headquarters.

Even though he received a message from higher-ups urging him to go there immediately, he maintained a leisurely pace.

Is it because he doesn't want to hurry?

That's because he's keeping an old man he can't afford to offend!

The old man was very interested in the company, probably because he listened to what he said and thought that the company was a place that yearned for freedom, and he had a certain affection for the company.

We walked and stopped frequently, asking him to describe the things inside the base.

Where are the people here?

Wu Feichen didn't see many people along the way.

Mo Chen thought for a moment, "They've probably all gone out, since there's not much going on at the base right now."

As long as they don't get caught outside, the company generally won't prevent them from going out.

The company's previous operations were always secretive. Apart from Mo Chen, everyone else always concealed their identities and never showed their true faces when searching for members.

As long as you avoid places that require ID, you'll generally not be detected.

As Mo Chen walked, he sent information about Wu Feichen's situation to the group of high-ranking officials.

Regardless of what those higher-ups are really up to, they at least need to put on a good show, because this guy's personality isn't so easy to deal with.

Through this period of contact, although the time spent together was short, he clearly realized how difficult the other person's personality was.

One aspect is her obsession with and pursuit of freedom; another is her extremely self-centered personality. She is unwilling to listen to others, and once she has made a decision, no amount of persuasion from others will change her mind.

In addition, they act as they please and are self-centered.

This kind of person doesn't consider the consequences; if you offend him, he will definitely eliminate you.

Mo Chen knew the nature of those high-ranking officials all too well. If he hadn't been informed beforehand, they would probably have offended him badly the moment they met.

It would be bad if they started fighting as soon as they met.

Mo Chen thought to himself casually.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of them fighting; in fact, he'd be happy to applaud even if one or two people were killed. But what could he do Wu Feichen was someone he'd brought with him?

If they were to have any conflict, he would definitely be remembered by those higher-ups. Cui Zicheng's matter had already earned him a bad reputation with them.

If anything unexpected happens again, Mo Chen's days at the Key Society will be difficult.

After sending the message, Mo Chen turned his head away.

The One old man has disappeared!

Gone???

Mo Chen nearly choked on his breath and hurriedly searched everywhere.

"Wu Feichen, where are you?"

"Don't wander around. There are some areas in the company with barriers, and triggering the barrier's attack mode can be very troublesome."

Mo Chen finally saw Wu Feichen in front of a secret room shrouded by a barrier.

His white hair stood out conspicuously in the dim light.

What are you doing here?

Wu Feichen stood at the door, gazing thoughtfully at the scene. "I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation."

Mo Chen glanced at the secret room, raised an eyebrow, and thought, "So this is it. No wonder he's such a highly talented person."

They were incredibly perceptive to find this place.

Mo Chen smiled calmly, trying to get rid of him. "There's a barrier here; you can't enter without permission. Let's go."

"A message just came from the company's higher-ups that they want to meet with a genius like you. You should know that very few people in the company can get an audience with them."

Did Wu Feichen believe the barrier could keep him out since Mo Chen didn't stop him?

He glanced at the door again, but ultimately did not do anything that would test the limits of human patience.

Mo Chen successfully took the person away.

The top executives remained seated in the same meeting area.

Their seats are all up there, separated by several steps, so people who come here have to look up to see them.

Mo Chen brought Wu Feichen in.

"I've brought him here."

He stood below with his head bowed, his attitude extremely respectful.

Wu Feichen, on the other hand, was much more casual. He first looked around, surveying the entire room, before turning his gaze to the high-ranking officials seated above.

This performance caused many high-level executives to secretly frown.

However, because Mo Chen had informed them in advance, they were prepared and did not immediately turn cold and rebuke him.

This is someone we finally found after a lot of trouble; we can't let them slip away.

"Your name is Wu Feichen, right?"

"Your talent is quite remarkable. Once you've settled in at the company, just let Mo Chen know if you need anything."

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! Given time, he will surely become a backbone and pillar of our company."

The higher-ups used every compliment they could think of to praise him.

They emphasized how high Wu Feichen's talent was, how much the company valued him, and how they would do everything they could to nurture him.

If it were an ordinary person of the same age here, they would probably be flattered and completely believe the higher-ups' promise of dedicated training.

But Wu Feichen stood there listlessly, seemingly uninterested in the resources promised by the higher-ups.

After the higher-ups finished speaking, he said, "Gentlemen, I'd like to ask you a question."

The higher-ups were puzzled for a moment, then a man with a long beard said with a kind expression, "Child, what do you want to ask?"

Wu Feichen raised his head and looked down at those people sitting on the high platform. Because the room was dimly lit and they were facing away from the light, he could hardly see their expressions.

This can create a sense of oppression, making subordinates feel pressured, restrained, and afraid to speak.

However, Wu Feichen showed no such reaction, seemingly oblivious to the oppressive feeling emanating from the higher-ups.

What are your views on freedom?

If Mo Chen hadn't sent them information about Wu Feichen's personality beforehand, this question would probably have stumped them.

Why ask about freedom out of the blue?

"I heard that Fei Chen wanted to join our club because he felt constrained by the Contract Anomalist?"

"Although our company has only existed for a short time, we act without restraint."

"We won't impose any rules or restrictions on you. After all, how can a genius grow if they're constrained?"

"At your age, it's normal to have your own ideas. We hope you can channel that enthusiasm into improving your skills. Of course, if you have any ideas, you can also tell us, and we'll try our best to accommodate them."
