1034: Chapter 997: Too Proud to Look Up!

Billions in Black Industry!

One really ought to know oneself!

But Huang Meijuan evidently didn’t grasp this principle.

In her eyes, her daughter Chu Yunxuan was the epitome of perfection.

Not only perfect in looks and figure but also possessing top-tier professional competence and extraordinary work capabilities, she absolutely counted as a standout among women!

Adaptable in a salon or the kitchen.

Capable of conquering the workplace and assuming high positions, yet able to manage domestic affairs with gentle wisdom when stepping back.

In Huang Meijuan’s eyes, her daughter was indeed a rare find of a good wife and wise mother.

So…

She claimed her standards for a son-in-law weren’t high, but what about in practice?

She might not demand an exorbitant dowry, a house, or a car, but she expected a man like Wu Jie, young and promising with a successful career.

Holy moly!

Wu Jie’s current net worth, whether it was a hundred billion or a trillion, he himself couldn’t tell anymore.

Looking around the globe, who could rival him in wealth?

Although the production of Detox Pills had now exceeded three million per day, causing the price to crash wildly, no longer tens of thousands per pill as before, it still cost thousands per pill, with a daily net profit of two or three billion yuan.

And the more Graphene Composite Batteries they made, the wider their range of application became, not just for electric sedans, sports cars, SUVs, but also for buses, trucks, and even submarines and planes, with profits not to be underestimated.

In summary.

The Group was like a super money-printing machine, crazily earning money every second.

So much so that the extent of Wu Jie’s wealth couldn’t be accurately assessed.

But Huang Meijuan, well.

She actually wanted to find a son-in-law for Chu Yunxuan who was like Wu Jie.

Speaking of being young, promising, and successful in career.

Among the countless successful Chinese men, trillionaires were elusive, billionaires hard to find, but there were certainly young talents worth millions.

But the key word was “like,” and that was what gave Wu Jie a headache.

And now.

Huang Meijuan rambled on like a machine gun, and even Chu Yunxuan couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

“Mom, can’t you take a break?

Do these still sound like low standards to you?”

“Like Jie…

Do you even realize what ‘like’ entails?”

“How many people in the whole world could invent Graphene Composite Batteries or develop Detox Pills?

How many can be as rich as a nation?”

Chu Yunxuan’s successive questions embarrassed Huang Meijuan for a second or two.

“Oh, come on, I was just making a comparison!”

“Of course, I know there’s only one Jie in the whole world.

If the conditions were exactly the same, why wouldn’t I just pick Jie as my son-in-law directly?”

Chu Yunxuan’s cheeks flushed, her words stopped at her lips, instantly swallowed back.

She really wanted to say that her mother needn’t worry about her love life.

Her daughter was already Jie’s, why bother introducing someone else?

It’s utterly superfluous!

But how could Chu Yunxuan dare say that?

Without Wu Jie’s permission, and when being a secret lover was nothing to be proud of, if she spoke out, wouldn’t that cause utter chaos?

So, it was better to keep it a secret.

After all, listening to her mother’s tone, the standards set for her future spouse were sky-high.

The higher the requirements, the harder to find someone.

Let her fuss over it then!

Chu Yunxuan made up her mind and chose not to say any more.

After Wu Jie finished his sweet rice wine balls, he wiped his mouth, stood up with a smile, and said:

“Auntie, I’ll remember what you’ve asked, and I’ll do my best to take care of it!”

“It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now.

Auntie, feel free to visit Tianyuan whenever you have time!”

Huang Meijuan immediately stood up, beaming as she said:

“That would be wonderful!

Tanglong Industrial Group is now acclaimed as the world’s number one, I’ve been wanting to tour your headquarters!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxuan was startled.

With her loquacious nature, what would happen if she actually went?

“Mom, why do you need to see the headquarters?

It’s just a workplace.

Would you really feel comfortable disturbing my colleagues at work?

If you want to sightsee, Tianyuan has many famous attractions and delicacies for you to enjoy!”

“Hey, you ungrateful girl, I am your mother, a relative of the group’s employees, don’t I have the right and privilege to visit the headquarters?”

Huang Meijuan retorted, leaving Chu Yunxuan speechless.

“Of course, you do!

Auntie is welcome anytime!”

Wu Jie flashed a slight smile before stepping toward the elevator.

Huang Meijuan quickly poked Chu Yunxuan, whispering a reminder:

“What are you standing around for?

Hurry up and escort Mr.

Wu!”

One moment it’s Jie, the next it’s Mr.

Wu.

Chu Yunxuan really felt her mother might be going mad, on the verge of splitting personalities.

But escorting him out was good, wasn’t it?

It meant she could openly spend some time alone with him.

Chu Yunxuan quickly followed him out, closing the door behind her.

Taking two steps at a time, she caught up with Wu Jie and instinctively checked the corridor to make sure no one was around.

“My mom’s just like that, Jie, please don’t take it to heart, and don’t introduce anyone to me, my heart belongs only to you!”

Chu Yunxuan whispered tenderly.

Wu Jie nodded lightly and stopped when they reached the elevator entrance, turning to face her.

“Go back and rest, you’ve been working hard these days!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxuan felt a surge of warmth.

“It’s not hard, as long as it makes you happy, Jie, I’m willing to do anything for you!”

With no one in sight, Chu Yunxuan hugged him briefly, then turned and rushed away.

Wu Jie gave a faint smile and entered the elevator.

Having been stuck to this exasperating siren, Wu Jie knew it wouldn’t be easy to get rid of her.

Is there any way out?

Can’t send her away, can’t shake her off, hitting is not an option, and cursing is useless…

The relentless pursuit from Chu Yunxuan had finally done Wu Jie in.

But upon reflection, these days spent together didn’t seem so ‘unfortunate’.

Chu Yunxuan had let him finally experience a different kind of happiness.

Sigh!

Wu Jie silently lamented.

After all, he was no saint, but a petty man!

However…

With a chatty mother around, Chu Yunxuan couldn’t possibly stay with Wu Jie day and night.

So the night would be long, and tonight he was destined to sleep alone.

But perhaps it was for the best.

About to set off to Jiazhou Continent with Xu Kuishan and his son, it was fitting to get his work in order before leaving.

Besides, he hadn’t appeared in public or made headlines for quite some time.

As a result, his system energy points had barely increased these past days.

Jie’s eighth system task is still ongoing!

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had earned a fortune by slamming many big shots at a dinner, the energy points for the last month would have nearly stagnated.

Such low-profile behavior wasn’t Jie’s style!

But deliberately showing off, slapping faces, and attracting hate wasn’t Jie’s habit either.

He loved dealing with those high-ranking, powerful, yet grievously corrupt officials, the real culprits.

In punishing them, Wu Jie not only eradicated social menaces but also earned massive energy points without even a hint of remorse.

But they had become cautious, and the big tigers were now hard to catch.

Like Zheng said, facing a Wu Jie who wasn’t even afraid of heaven or earth and dared to slap the powerful on their behinds, the corrupt officials were scared too!

If corrupt officials were hard to find, then who else could generate a lot of energy points with their hatred?

Celebrities?

Wealthy tycoons?

Those groups were fine, but the problem was…

I don’t freaking know or understand any of them, so how am I supposed to attract hatred?

Heading back to the intelligence center, Wu Jie thought hard but still couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

At that moment, two engineers returning from the construction site walked towards him.

Typical head-down walkers, they were smoking and playing with their phones while chatting idly.

“Hey, that kid’s pretty hot lately!

Almost got five million fans!”

“Hot for what?

His videos are just stale old clichés and imitations of others’ ideas.

He’s only made it this far because he already had a large fanbase and wasn’t stingy about paying to rig the rankings!”

“Rigging the rankings?

You can do that on the DASHEN Video APP now?”

“Nonsense!

As long as you’re willing to pay up, what data can’t you fake these days?”

…

Under the dim streetlights and their lowered heads, neither man noticed Wu Jie standing nearby, the very owner of DASHEN Video APP.

Rig the rankings?

Wu Jie’s brows knitted slightly.

“Star Cloud Internet Technology, what kind of trouble have they stirred up now?”

Amidst his muttering, Wu Jie immediately called Wang Lei, the technical head at the telephone company.

As a purely technical talent, Wang Lei was quite naive.

Even when Deng Hua and Chen Yong had been leveraging their power for personal gain, Wang Lei remained ‘untainted by a spot of mud’ and proved to be a reliable man tested by time.

The call connected quickly, and without immediately inquiring, Wu Jie calmly asked:

“Black, how’s the platform operation been going lately?”

Wang Lei immediately replied, “Operations are stable, running round the clock without any server downtime, data loss, user account thefts, or hacker intrusions!”

As the technical head, ensuring software operation stability was naturally Wang Lei’s prime responsibility and an integral part of his job.

Inquiring about software profitability and business performance was beside the point.

“But I’ve heard it’s pretty easy to rig the rankings on our platform lately, what’s going on with that?”

Wu Jie, lighting a cigarette, asked with a grave tone.

Wang Lei sighed and explained:

“Mr.

Wu, we probably have a clear understanding of it, right?

You should know more about internet black markets than I do.”

“Our platform’s automated review system, no matter how advanced, can’t completely prevent it…”

In just a few brief words, Wu Jie got the gist.

Any active user software platform will have people dedicated to illicit online activities.

For example, Xunxin once had a lot of phone brokers who obtained countless numbers through hacking and bot breeding.

These numbers were sold to unscrupulous people who, using female avatars, would add lots of nearby users to scam them into friendships, sell them tea, hawk stocks, offer jobs, etc., to make a profit.

Many thought they had found true love when in fact,

The so-called photos, videos, and social profiles were all fake.

Behind the pretty female avatar could be a burly man picking his toes or even a customer service bot, with dialogue sequences already scripted.

Whatever the pretext or method, once they got the victim to transfer money, they would block them without hesitation.

Of course, under various crackdowns, these black market practices are relatively low-end.

They employ a large workforce, develop various bots, and purchase tens of thousands of second-hand phones.

In their factories, rows of phones are set up on shelves, working non-stop, 24 hours a day.

Sending messages, posting on social network timelines, watching videos, shopping online, commenting, sharing, liking…

As if an actual person were using the phone, everything looked eerily authentic.

Clients could request a TV show to hit several billion views overnight, even if there were only a few hundred million phone users nationally.

With enough money, they could quickly make a person or an event trend, skyrocketing its popularity and increasing exposure.

In short, in the age of data traffic, the extent of black market operations can be unimaginable…
