Chapter 557: Chapter 364: Didn’t Even Ask What I Did Back Then_1

The room fell silent.

The bigwigs’ gazes upon Feng Yi were as if they had seen some marvelous species!

"A shareholder of the Ancestral Factory..."

It’s not uncommon for experts from the Joint Defense Agency to be involved with other companies; many experts hold stocks in various companies, and quite a few even own their own firms.

However, Feng Yi’s situation was truly unexpected.

The Ancestral Factory!

This pharmaceutical giant, in collaboration with domestic universities and research institutions, had been sought after by every department represented here in critical and special situations!

This demonstrated how exceptional the pharmaceutical giant was!

The Ancestral Factory is a non-publicly traded company.

When the broad-spectrum anti-snake venom agent sparked public debate, some stock traders even inquired where the Ancestral Factory was listed and what its stock code was.

However, this company does not go public!

And it doesn’t need the money!

From the period of abnormal weather until now, the number of shareholders in this company had increased, but everyone knew that the largest shareholders today were Yue Gengyang and his wife, and the other shareholders were those who could only take profits without having a say in the company’s affairs.

No one knew what Feng Yi’s shareholding ratio was, whether he could influence Yue Gengyang’s decision-making or not.

No matter what, given the Ancestral Factory’s way of doing things, being a shareholder meant having an extraordinary relationship with Yue Gengyang and his wife, and having a lot of money.

No wonder Feng Yi could afford to buy land, collect meteorites in bulk, and even have a private jet—this was his greatest source of funds!

The people on site were all worldly; they had seen many wealthy individuals, but they cared not about how much money Feng Yi had, but rather the fact that he was one of the shareholders of the Ancestral Factory!

The research achievements of the Ancestral Factory in the past two years had amazed many!

Take, for instance, the special medical patient currently in the intensive care unit who was said to be beyond help due to the poison in his body. However, the Ancestral Factory was able to produce a special medication for him after understanding the condition!

The few influential figures there instantly pondered over a lot.

Meanwhile, Feng Yi was observing their emotional information, contemplating in his heart as well.

In the future, as he would need to use more and more money, and as a public figure on the internet, many of his actions would be under people’s scrutiny.

The last time he attended an entertainment event, someone questioned why an expert from the Joint Defense Agency had so much money to buy luxury goods, and what the source of his funds was.

Previously, some even said he was from the Feng Family in Yang City, carrying the tag of a wealthy family’s child.

But in the future, buying islands, lands, planes, or whatever else would involve sums not easily accessible to ordinary scions of wealthy families.

Hence, upon formally taking on this matter, Feng Yi had discussed it with Geng. There were pros and cons, but overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

It was an opportunity to make things clear in front of these powerful individuals and to give the higher-ups a sense of the situation.

It was different whether Feng Yi revealed the information himself or if these bigwigs found out on their own—The treatment would not be the same.

These people were not gossips; they would not go blabbing to the public. Facing the outside world, Feng Yi could still wear the "Ancestral Factory shareholder" cover for some time.

Besides, Feng Yi never intended to keep this a secret forever.

Feng Yi carefully observed the emotional information emanating from the bigwigs before him.

No matter whether their facial expressions were smiles or stern looks, whether they were emotive or showed not the slightest hint of their feelings, their true internal emotions were candidly revealed through these informational substances!

There was a lot of information—complex and intense. Though there wasn’t much negativity, the mixture made Feng Yi feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Feng Yi said, "I don’t get involved in company management. It’s just that on this particular occasion, President Yue had to seek my help to deliver the product."

The person sitting diagonally opposite sighed, "Ah, if only I’d known you were a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory..."

Team Leader Yuan suddenly said, "Public matters are public, and private matters are private! Mind the influence!"

The previous person did not continue, still showing a hint of regret on his face, "That’s true. Trying to talk sense of obligation with someone like Yue Gengyang is pointless."

But in their eyes, Feng Yi had become different!

There should be no problem with Feng Yi’s identity. The background checkers and archivists at the Joint Defense Agency surely would have known long ago, but the information of experts is generally kept confidential. Unless necessary, it wouldn’t be disclosed to the public, as a form of protection for the certified experts.

Still, they couldn’t understand.

One of them expressed his confusion, "How come you decided to become an expert at the Joint Defense Agency? Is this like pursuing your dreams after achieving financial freedom?"

"Yeah," Feng Yi couldn’t say otherwise and just had to admit with a metaphorical tear.

That person immediately replied, "But even if you have dreams, you don’t have to go to the Joint Defense Agency. They just have a big reputation, impressing the young..."

Team Leader Yuan coughed, "Ahem!"

Here he was, the leader of the special investigation team of the Joint Defense Agency, and someone was undermining him to his face?

After the banter among the bigwigs ended, Feng Yi asked:

"The patient in the intensive care unit, who is he? He looks to be about my age."

"Him?"

Among those present, some had been the leaders of A’wang’s parents, some were his parents’ former comrades-in-arms, and some had relationships with his parents or his grandparents.

The eldest among them heaved a sigh.

They would not have told Feng Yi much normally, but since he was the one who had delivered the medication and was a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory, it seemed acceptable to disclose some information about the patient.

Nobody else objected either.

"His name is A’wang. His grandparents were members of the patrolling team and sacrificed themselves while on a patrolling mission."

"His parents were senior investigators of the Joint Defense Agency in this district; they were killed while combating the black industry chain."
