NOVEL WEB Chapter 704: Are you my calamity?
"I won't study that kind of dangerous stuff."
Zhengmu Jingwu glanced at the eight security guards, inwardly cursing: brainless fools!
Everyone who joined Sedick Corporation was carefully selected by him. Besides talent, the most important qualities were obedience and dissatisfaction with their own lives, coupled with fantasies about power.
Only then can they be controlled.
Otherwise, how could he alone establish such a large Sedick Corporation?
However, these kinds of people are also quite foolish.
Clearly, letting these two Victory Team elites in for a routine check would suffice. The company doesn't have any research on the surface that can't be exposed, and given Victory Team's reputation, they wouldn't forcefully intervene; doing so would only tarnish Victory Team.
When the time comes, he would gather journalists, apply pressure through the media. What can Victory Team do in that scenario?
He has enough resources!
But these eight security guards blocked the way, taking the worst possible step—why block if you're guilt-free?
Although it ultimately comes down to evidence, Victory Team probably won't uncover his plan, but in terms of public opinion, he'd still get a bad rep for poor management of his subordinates.
As for these two members of Victory Team, they're likely to escape even a reprimand, just submitting a few reports to wrap things up.
These days, unless Victory Team makes a major mistake, they're virtually the benchmark of public trust! As soon as they speak, most citizens will believe them unconditionally!
Only those with a dark heart, pondering conspiracy theories, would feel that "everyone is drunk but I'm sober," and are exploited by geniuses like him.
At this moment.
Zhengmu Jingwu had countless thoughts, already planning to dismiss these eight guys...no, they should be dealt with secretly, as these people know some inside information.
"That's not your call."
Sun Wukong took out a photo; the man depicted was Belial in his human form. Nori had printed out his face through video footage, and every Victory Team member had a copy, including Camilla. Sаmplе frоm Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе—rеаd mоrе оn М&VLЕМРY&R.
Upon seeing Belial, Zhengmu Jingwu's pupils contracted slightly.
"It seems Mr. Zhengmu recognizes this person." Sun Wukong handed Belial's photo to Zheng Zha, "Then please take us to him, as he's a very dangerous individual."
Zhengmu Jingwu inwardly cursed Belial for being careless, having his whereabouts discovered by these two people.
What should he say now?
Should he claim the other party saw wrong?
These are Victory Team elites, not Da Gu, that lucky guy who got in through connections!
Zhengmu Jingwu never underestimated Victory Team members, except for Da Gu.
Why target Da Gu specifically?
The reason is simple. After discovering Da Gu was Tiga, Zhengmu Jingwu secretly probed Da Gu's history, ultimately finding out that Da Gu was able to join the elite because he was recommended by Director Zejing.
Definitely a backdoor entry!
After learning this, Zhengmu Jingwu's mindset became unbalanced, completely forgetting that he himself found information about the need for assessments to join the elite department.
Jealousy made him lose his rationality.
In Zhengmu Jingwu's view, Da Gu was just a lucky guy who had smooth sailing all the way, even smoothly becoming light and transforming into Ultraman Tiga.
"I've never seen such a person." Zhengmu Jingwu denied Sun Wukong in a matter-of-fact manner, "If there is, you can search for him, but if any equipment gets damaged, you'll have to compensate at full price."
"No problem." Sun Wukong extended his hand, and Zhengmu Jingwu also set aside his pride and shook hands with him, indicating his friendliness—at least on the surface, it's not advisable to clash with Victory Team for now.
Watching the two head into the company, Zhengmu Jingwu turned around and said to the eight people, "You're dismissed, go write a self-criticism; I'll bring in a new batch of people."
The eight security guards left with their heads down, but inwardly breathed a sigh of relief; at least the big boss Zhengmu Jingwu wasn't firing them.
However, they didn't see Zhengmu Jingwu's gloomy eyes...
...
"Sun, why did Zhengmu Jingwu come here personally?" Zheng Zha asked, "Doesn't he have any face?"
"Our status as Victory Team elites is recognized internationally, and just because of that, he must come personally."
Sun Wukong replied matter-of-factly, "No matter how large his company is, it's not the sovereign owner of the country. Although the national conditions here are different from those in China, the rationale is the same. Even in the free United States, if the president of a large corporation commits a crime, they still go to jail. Whether they can smooth things over with money after entering prison depends on how much money they have."
Zheng Zha added, "In any world, it's the rich who rule."
Sun Wukong shook his head, "That's the truth, but one shouldn't think this way; you've gotta find joy even in suffering, the Spirit of Ah Q."
Zheng Zha's face fell, "Sun, before you entered the Main God space, I used to be quite good at self-mockery and self-encouragement, but isn't this just self-deception?"
"If it's self-deception, why do you need to self-encourage?" Sun Wukong retorted, "The spirit victory method, while sad, is indispensable for a person's growth. Those who don't know how to self-encourage won't go too far."
"I understand, it's too tough." Zheng Zha extrapolated, "However, Lu Xun's Ah Q was indeed a true tragedy."
"That was due to the times; he had no choice. Those who were in the same situation as him had no choice."
Sun Wukong glanced at Zheng Zha, "Even if you were just a white-collar worker, you still had choices. After all, besides your parents, you didn't have many concerns. At least at that time, even if you didn't want to live that life, you could find another job, at worst enduring through life without starving, though whether you could afford children was another matter; you probably wanted to be a bachelor for life at that time."
