This week, Zhao An rarely attended class. He would occasionally slack off, pretending to be busy, then quickly leave. No one in class recorded his absences; attendance was handled by the class monitor, Liao Ruoxia. She was lucky Zhao An hadn't let her get pregnant at this time; otherwise, attending class with a heavy belly would have been a major news story.
Besides slacking off, Zhao An was more focused on his career. He had already created an artificial intelligence, but activating it required system assistance.
To fully activate the artificial intelligence, one must complete a skill challenge. This time, the goal wasn't anything special; it was to travel abroad and return. During the mission, one had to continuously play with electronic devices, including phones, computers, handheld game consoles, and even slot machines in casinos.
A simple challenge: go out once and come back. That's it? It seemed quite simple, much simpler than those previous challenges like Shennong Baicao or surgical experts.
In the pursuit of completing those challenges, Bao Xiong was so frightened he turned into a "Gai Qian Ge" (a psychopath) he'll have nightmares for the rest of his life!
Huang Lin has been frequently visiting the site to oversee the work. Work has already begun on the wasteland. The recruited construction team is leveling the uneven surface and smoothing out the surrounding corners.
The construction team doesn't need to provide design drawings or plans, or even get into the details; they simply need to follow the blueprints and build the finished product. There are three teams this time, each with different responsibilities.
The first team will level the foundation, the second will excavate and unclog the sewers, and also handle drilling and other tasks.
The third team will be responsible for the construction of the building complex, specializing in building the houses.
After the main structure is completed, the landscaping and renovation tasks will be rotated by lottery, with only two teams selected. This meant one team was bound to be eliminated. With such lucrative projects and no defaults on payments, no construction team wanted to give up. They had no choice but to complete the work according to the quota. If they couldn't, they'd be gone.
To prevent and eliminate the possibility of outsourcing, Zhao An had already mocked up the contract. If outsourcing were to occur, sorry, they'd have to pay the bills. Otherwise, they'd face legal action.
Huang Lin, feeling refreshed, surveyed the wasteland in her high heels. Behind her was a female secretary, and beside her were two burly men. They were bodyguards from the security company, formerly Bao Xiong's subordinates. Now, they'd been officially rehabilitated as bodyguards and were temporarily responsible for the women's safety. When the time was right, retired mercenaries from other regions would replace them. Another mission for this trip abroad was to contact an external mercenary company.
Dressed in a women's suit, her tight trousers encased her beautiful legs. Her peep-toe high heels were unsuitable for walking in the wasteland. The breeze blew, her hair dancing slightly, making her look breathtakingly beautiful. Elsewhere, Tang Bing was still smoking a cigarette in a private room, feeling a bit sullen. This time, his mother had taken the initiative to control the southern business, as if to seize power, and his younger brother had arranged all the details, which put him in a very passive position.
Tang Bing didn't have much leverage over the Tang family; instead, it was Zhao An, an outsider, who had caught him. Therefore, listening to Zhao An's words was more intimidating than listening to his mother's.
"Young Master Bing, we've contacted a female model, a virgin, and she's very slutty. Her boss was originally planning to have sex with her, but when he heard Young Master Bing wanted her, he immediately offered to send her over." A filthy-looking man chuckled to the side, looking as sleazy as he could be, a downright scoundrel, a classic pimp.
Tang Bing took a deep breath and looked at the woman in the photo. "Are you sure she's a virgin?"
"One hundred percent virgin, a slut who's been wanting to get to the top for a long time. She was just being discovered before, but now she's ready to be developed." The sleazy man patted his chest and promised, he could guarantee this.
"Where's the mouth? All original? Never been given a blowjob?" Tang Bing stubbed his cigarette in the ashtray, his expression grim and fierce. He was now facing a desperate situation; his brother's threats were beginning to shake his position.
"It doesn't seem like there's one," the sleazy man said uncertainly.
"No? What use would I have with you? Find me a completely original one. If I can't find one, I'll kill you!" Tang Bing seemed furious. If he wasn't having it easy, he wouldn't let anyone else have it easy!
The sleazy man quickly called to communicate, fiercely questioning the other end. After several minutes of conversation, he finally came over and said, "Master Bing, I guarantee they're all original. I guarantee it. If not, I'll kill them before you kill me!"
"Okay, send it to my apartment. I'll keep it well-fed and well-housed. I'll still need it!" Tang Bing nodded, his eyes darkening. He had no way out. Someone from the family had just called to tell him that next year would be the time to elect a successor. At that time, whoever controls more finances and contributes more to the family will have the chance to become heir.
The position of heir changes every two years. As a large family, to ensure its prosperity, a more powerful person must emerge to lead the family. Selecting through the method of raising Gu (a type of insect) is undoubtedly a more effective method. Whether to fight or cooperate is entirely up to each candidate.
Looking at the dancing girls outside, Tang Bing secretly vowed to maintain his position as heir. Otherwise, everything he has now could be lost in an instant, and whether he can ever make a comeback would be a question.
"I must win over Zhao An. Even if it means kneeling before my enemies, I'll maintain this lifestyle! Damn it, let's do it!" Tang Bing immediately took action, taking his men to the entertainment company to find the so-called third-tier actress—or, rather, the actress who wasn't even third-tier.
Arriving at the company's conference room, Tang Bing looked at the woman with large breasts and nodded with satisfaction. This woman was his perfect gift for Zhao An. It is unrealistic to expect this woman to control Zhao An. She can only be used as a disposable consumable. As long as she can pry open Zhao An's door brick, there will be a possibility of continued cooperation in the future.
