Chen Huijie fell silent, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Despite the heinous acts the Reunion Movement committed in the Lower City, they still have public support.

Even at the cost of armed conflict with the Lungmen Guard Department?

The second message.

Superintendent Swire expressed his bewilderment at his suspension and demanded an explanation from Chen Huijie.

"No further explanation, next point."

The third message is anonymous.

[Respected Chen Huijie, I have also heard about your actions in Ursus.]

Your negotiations with those greedy capitalists will ultimately fail, and you will pay a heavy price.

[Since you've treated me like a bootlicker, I'll give you a suggestion: let's team up and take them out. You get the Lungmen Guard Department to clear a path for me, and I'll hang them all from the lampposts.]

Although the message was anonymous, Chen Huijie immediately recognized which student had sent it.

"Wishful thinking! I will not let you disrupt the peace and harmony of Lungmen."

Chen Huijie muttered through gritted teeth.

She felt that Luo Chen, this extreme guy, was the biggest destabilizing factor in the Lungmen.

Seeing Chen Huijie frowning while staring at her phone, Talulah also came over:

"You must be very busy with work. I'm sorry to have taken up your time. Huijie, why don't you go ahead and get back to work? I'll try my best to persuade them at the meeting tonight."

"But..." Chen Huijie's hands were indeed filled with various urgent tasks.

But things are also important for Talulah.

On one hand, there's work; on the other, there's her older sister.

Chen Huijie is finding it difficult to make a choice.

You're so cute!

Talulah's smile was bright and sunny, perhaps because she had noticed Chen Huijie's concerns.

She said with a hint of teasing:

"Huijie is so grown up, but she's still a girl who loves her older sister."

As everyone knows, the most vulnerable thing for a proud and arrogant person is a direct approach, Talulah's bluntness directly defeated Chen Huijie.

Chen Huijie blushed and turned her head away, not wanting Talulah to see her embarrassment.

"What nonsense are you talking about... Well then, I'm leaving."

"Let's go, it's alright. As long as I explain Lungmen's situation to them, they'll definitely understand."

Chen Huijie nodded.

In the current situation, they don't have many options.

We can only hope that Talulah can resolve the internal issues of the company as soon as possible, and then concentrate the strength of the entire Lungmen to deal with Luo Chen.

"If they really refuse, we can give them more profits according to Wei Yenwu's plan."

Chen Huijie suggested that Talulah could choose to concede some benefits at an appropriate time.

When Talulah first proposed the plan a few days ago, the cunning Wei Yenwu predicted that these corporate conglomerates would not cooperate obediently.

Therefore, Wei Yenwu allowed Talulah to relinquish some profits to these companies.

Talulah looked at Chen Huijie tenderly:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to sign an agreement with them tonight."

"You also need to be careful at work."

Talulah's smile dispelled Chen Huijie's weariness.

"I'll leave this to you." Chen Huijie nodded, took out her terminal, and turned to leave the Governor's Office.

Watching Chen Huijie's figure disappear into the distance, Luo Chen finally no longer needed to suppress the smile on his lips, and let out a wanton grin:

"I promise to give Commander Chen an unforgettable experience."

8 PM.

The consultation meeting went into overtime.

Because it was an urgent, secret meeting, there were no media present, and all recording equipment was turned off.

The meeting had barely begun when, in the afternoon, the aggressive, heavily pregnant middle-aged representative continued to put pressure on Talulah.

"Miss Chief, we already stated our demands this afternoon. If you cannot agree to them, no matter how long the meeting goes, it will be of no use."

Without Chen Huijie watching, Luo Chen no longer needed to pretend to be naive. As soon as the other party put pressure on him, she smiled and agreed:

"Okay, I agree to your request."

The middle-aged representative was preparing to continue testing Talulah's limits according to the usual procedure, but he froze halfway through his sentence:

"Miss Chief, we've already said that the Reunion Movement is going to provide us with... wait, what did you say...?"

"You agreed?"

Representatives from other conglomerates were also stunned, looking at Talulah in disbelief.

Although they made unreasonable demands, unreasonable demands are one thing, the final negotiation result requires both sides to bargain.

Nobody expected that this agreement, which would leave the Reunion Movement to do its work for free, would pass.

After all, even if Governor Wei is easy to talk to, he still needs to make money.

We'll agree on a 50/50 split.

To everyone's surprise, Talulah agreed immediately.

Was my answer not clear enough?

At this moment, Luo Chen spoke, his tone gentle and polite:

"Sir, I have accepted your request. So, shall we now sign the agreement?"

"Or is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Luo Chen's tone was full of confidence and eagerness, as if signing this agreement would make him the richest man in Lungmen.

His way of speaking immediately made the company representatives feel that they were missing out on a lot of benefits.

It seems like we lost a lot of money.

Can I add anything else?

That pot-bellied middle-aged man, without any shame, asked another question.

Although it was immoral to keep pressuring Talulah, it was even harder to turn down money.

"Okay." Luo Chen calmly raised his hand, signaling the other party to begin their performance.

Talulah asked him to speak, and the middle-aged man didn't hesitate, immediately launching into his remarks:

"I've heard that there are many people in the Lower City who can't find jobs. Our company can provide some jobs for them, but we have a probationary period during which no wages are paid."

"I hope the Reunion Movement can help me find some workers like that."

They said they wanted the Reunion Movement to help find workers, but what they really meant was for the Reunion Movement to capture civilians and send them there for forced labor.

Talulah agreed without hesitation:

"Absolutely, let alone free workers."

"You gave them a job, and as a token of their gratitude, they should pay some more for training."

"That's unnecessary. Anyone who doesn't need a probationary period salary is fine." The middle-aged man felt that Talulah's condition was too much.

Luo Chen smiled and turned to look at the other company representatives:

"Does anyone have anything to add? As long as Reunion Movement can do it, we will definitely make you happy."

"As the new leader of the Reunion Movement, I can assure you all that I am willing to use the resources of the Reunion Movement to win your favor."

"Let's make friends and have some fun."

Talulah said so.

Representatives from other companies, naturally, were no longer polite, and a series of conditions for extracting surplus value from the Lower City residents came out of their mouths.

It mainly involves five aspects:

1. Extend working hours to at least 16 hours per day.

2. Lower wages, with an average pay cut of 50%.

3. They use the violence of the Reunion Movement to lure people into working, and then use the Reunion Movement to control them so they dare not leave.

4. Establish various assessment standards and KPIs to punish and deduct wages from workers.

5. Fully promote and implement probationary employment, and continuously recruit low-cost probationary workers to reduce salary expenditures.

10 PM.

After two hours of free discussion, an agreement was produced that exploited the people of the Lower City to the extreme through the Reunion Movement.

At this very moment.

All the company representatives wore satisfied smiles.

They were dressed in luxurious clothes, sitting elegantly in their chairs, constantly praising Talulah for her young age and outstanding appearance.

"Chief Talulah, I believe you will achieve great things in Lungmen."

The person who said this was the pot-bellied middle-aged man who had been picking fights all afternoon.

Talulah generated an unknown amount of profit for him in just one night.

If Talulah weren't one of Governor Wei's people, he would have wanted to become her godmother and properly thank her for everything she had done.

"Young man, I have high hopes for you too."

"You really have a talent for business."

Representatives from multinational corporations in Victoria and Columbia also cast respectful glances at Talulah.

It must be admitted that, compared to Talulah, they are like a greenhorn who has just started to exploit the people.

"Can we sign the agreement now?" Luo Chen said with a smile. "To prevent any unforeseen circumstances and to prevent anyone from changing their mind at the last minute, I suggest we change the signing to fingerprinting."

Representatives from various companies are more afraid of someone changing their mind than the Reunion Movement.

They all agreed immediately.

Holding the agreement, Luo Chen walked to each representative and watched them press their fingerprints.

Soon, everyone except Luo Chen pressed their handprints.

"From today onwards, we are all the backbone of Lungmen. We must all work hard and cooperate well."

The representatives all looked at Talulah: "Now it's your turn."

"No rush, my head hurts a little, I'll go to the balcony for some fresh air first."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the others, Luo Chen walked to the balcony door of the conference room, holding the agreement with everyone else's fingerprints on it.

I opened the balcony door and went inside.

Then he closed the balcony door, isolating himself from everyone else.

"Has the person been brought?" Luo Chen turned to look to the side.

At this moment, nine people were disguised as staff members of the Governor's Office by Luo Chen 'Group Disguise skills.

They dragged her out, disguised as a staff member.

Nine patted the middle-aged woman Feline, who had been drugged, and said disdainfully:

"This guy took money from these companies and has sold off a lot of intelligence from the Governor's Office in the past."
