Too Polite Is Also Annoying

Upon seeing a room full of "important people," Huang Baobao felt half of her body go numb.

He knew that the person sitting here today could shake the world with a single word or document.

What exactly will this behemoth, which brings together ten top-tier conglomerates, look like?

I believe it won't be long before it surfaces and greets the world.

Huang and He couldn't help but swallow.

He opened his mouth towards the people in the conference room, intending to explain something.

No sound has been made yet.

A hand rose from the far corner of the conference room and beckoned to the two of them. "Over here."

Sitting at the head of the conference room, Chen Hansheng exuded an imposing aura without being angry. He glanced at a corner in the distance, then turned to the two men and asked, "Are you Huang Baobao from the Sixteenth Consortium?"

Huang Baobao nodded quickly.

Even before the change of dynasties, the person before him was someone he had to look up to.

"You're quite capable!" Chen Hansheng smiled noncommittally, then gestured with his chin, "Go ahead."

Huang Baobao repeatedly bowed and thanked them, then shuffled inward little by little.

He Jiong stood at the door, bowing and scraping to Chen Hansheng: "Mr. Chen, it's been a long time. You must be tired."

Chen Hansheng gave him a cold look and said in a low voice, "I'm not tired, you're more tired! Now you even dare to use Wang Wen's name to curry favor!"

He Jiong had already sobered up considerably inside the car.

Having been terrified the whole way, Chen Hansheng's words made him break out in a cold sweat again upon arriving at the destination.

The remaining effects of the alcohol vanished instantly.

With a mournful face, he explained to Chen Hansheng, "No, no, that's not true! I drank too much this time and lost my temper. I promise it will never happen again!"

Huang Baobao sidled up to the corner of the meeting room.

Seeing all this.

My gratitude towards He Jiong deepened even further.

He knew how much trouble he had caused the other party.

I also know how many favors the other party had to do to bring me here.

He clenched his fists, keeping his gratitude in his heart, knowing that there would be plenty of time in the future, and he would definitely "settle the score" properly after he got out.

Wang Wen looked at his excited expression.

He smiled.

I asked casually, "Do you know why your dad was locked up?"

Huang Baobao nodded. "I know! He helped the Six Great Consortiums provide supplies."

Wang Wen shook her head. "No, it's because he's not smart! I'm really curious how a big boss like your dad does business? Doesn't he need to use his brain?"

Seeing Huang Baobao's tightly clenched fist, Wang Wen laughed and said, "Don't be unconvinced. Let me ask you this: no matter what benefits the Six Great Consortiums Xu Nuo, is it worth risking your lives? Even if there really are benefits of that magnitude, would it be available to your Sixteenth Consortium? In the end, our the Academy and the total value of our Universal Love are right here. After the Six Great Consortiums divide it up, there won't be much left. Do you think they'd leave the lion's share for you second-tier groups?"

Huang Baobao fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she had said enough, Wang Wen didn't waste any more words and announced the result to him, "Alright, it seems that your father is not suitable to continue doing business. I don't care about your family's assets. The Sixteenth Consortium has nothing to do with you from now on. Take your father back and live a good life. If he really doesn't have money, he can come to the Academy. Apart from other things, room and board are provided."

Huang Baobao was shocked. "I can take my dad with me?? And without spending a single penny??"

Wang Wen smiled at him and asked, "How much were you originally planning to offer?"

Huang Baobao hesitated. "It depends on how much you want. I'm prepared to go bankrupt and sell everything I own."

Wang Wen chuckled and said, "Forget it. Since He Jiong has already brought you here, it would be petty to haggle any further. I've already told you that your dad should be waiting for you downstairs. You've been starving for days, so take you home and give you a good meal."

After saying that.

He stood up and said loudly to everyone in the conference room, "Everyone heard that. There are still many people in prison. From now on, we will operate in this way, a privilege reserved only for our own people. If outsiders have connections and come to you for help, let them take the people back. If they can't, then let them die in prison. In any case, the conglomerate will no longer have anything for them."

He told Huang Baobao, "You can release this information as you please, and do whatever you want with it. I won't interfere."

at last.

He said to He Jiong was anxiously standing by the door, "Did you hear that, He Jiong? You've used up all your privileges. Don't blame me for being rude next time you plead for someone."

He Jiong bowed repeatedly with a fawning smile, "I heard you, I heard you, boss, don't worry, it won't happen again! This is enough for me to brag about!"

"Take everyone and leave." Wang Wen waved her hand and sat down again. "Remember not to go into the tower; wait for my notification."

He Jiong led the thoughtful-looking Huang Baobao away.

The conference room door closed.

Chen Hansheng, sitting at the head of the table, laughed and said, "Teacher Wang, you've got some good skills. Now those people outside aren't bothered to oppose the 'Emperor' anymore; they're all thinking about how to get people out of trouble or gain favors."

"As long as there's work to be done and benefits to be made, no one in the world is really that idle. Who cares who's in charge?" Wang Wen waved her hand, releasing a sphere the size of a sofa that floated above the conference table.

The sphere resembles an eyeball.

The surface reflects the image of the building below.

This is his latest developed technique.

It allows you to observe a scene within a certain range remotely.

When Huang Baobao returned to the bottom of the building and saw her father, they excitedly hugged each other.

Seeing He Jiong the matter was over, He Jiong, who was standing nearby, prepared to leave.

Huang Baobao wiped her eyes, pulled He Jiong along, and walked out together. As they walked, she introduced him to her father, saying, "It was this brother He Jiong who helped me make the connection. Without him, even if we wanted to pay to bail him out, we wouldn't have been able to. Those higher-ups have already decided to have him die in jail!"

Mr. Huang looked haggard, with messy, graying hair.

Upon hearing this, he gripped He Jiong's hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly.

He sighed to Huang Baobao, "It's all my fault for being so foolish that my whole family has ended up like this. Do you remember there's an old house in our hometown that's not registered in my name? We can move there sometime. It'll be tough, but you and your mother will have to bear with it. I'm sorry to have to make things difficult for you."

Huang Baobao said to his father with a strange expression, "Dad, we didn't spend a single penny to get you out this time..."

Mr. Huang was shocked. "How is this possible?!"

"Really!" Huang Baobao supported her weak father and patiently explained, "They only took the conglomerate's money; they didn't take a single penny else."

Mr. Huang was so shocked that his eyes glazed over, as if his soul had left his body. "There's no doubt that the conglomerate took it all. I helped the Six Great Consortiums take their lives, and it's already a miracle they didn't take mine. How could they possibly leave us their entire fortune?"

Huang Baobao released one hand from He Jiong's arm. "It's all because of this Brother He! Otherwise, even if we sold everything we own, we couldn't save him!"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated," He Jiong said modestly, waving his hands repeatedly.

"I heard them say very clearly in the meeting that if you don't have connections, no amount of money will get you released; you'll be locked up until you die!" Huang Baobao recalled Wang Wen's words before leaving, her tone full of emotion.

Mr. Huang let out a long sigh.

Staggering around, he knelt down directly in front of He Jiong: "Mr. He not only saved my life, but also the lives of my entire family. I will forever remember this great kindness!"

He Jiong and embarrassed.

Seeing that Huang Baobao was about to kneel down as well.

He quickly used his enhanced physique (300 layers) to grab the two of them and forcefully lift them up.

Although he was Tower Climber of the Thirteenth Consortium, he was just an ordinary Tower Climber.

These two are top figures in the conglomerate!

Although they've lost their business by choosing the wrong team, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse.

Even at the very least, the other party's net worth is tens of thousands... maybe even hundreds of thousands of times greater than yours.

Being worshipped by such a person would probably shorten one's lifespan.

He Jiong's heart pounded with fear, and he forcibly helped the two of them up and walked towards the entrance of Tiansheng.

Fearing the two might kneel down again and scare people, he coaxed them like children, saying, "Well, Mr. Huang, you should go home and rest. You've suffered enough these past few days, Huang Baobao!"

Huang Baobao instinctively stood at attention and looked at him.

He said He Jiong and helplessly, "I'm fine here, we'll talk about everything later. You take good care of your dad, he's weak, take him home and let him rest well, don't let him get into any more trouble, okay?"

Huang Baobao nodded.

Upon reaching the gates of Tiansheng, everyone stared at Huang's father, who had truly been rescued, as if they had seen a ghost.

Huang Baobao ignored the others.

After helping his father into the car, he turned around and tightly grasped He Jiong's hand, saying each word heavily, "From now on, you're my brother! There's plenty of time. Today, I'll go home with my dad first, and we'll get together again later. I..."

"Stop being so girly and get out of here!" He Jiong looked at his hand, which had been squeezed until it turned white, and impatiently shooed him away.

Huang Baobao squeezed it a few more times.

He turned around, got into his car, and drove away.

Leaving behind a group of stunned onlookers.

He Jiong, noticing the stares around him, shrugged awkwardly and laughed, "It can be quite annoying when people are too polite."
