My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 787 - 787 787 Don't be a coward!

787: Chapter 787: Don’t be a coward!

Just do it!

787: Chapter 787: Don’t be a coward!

Just do it!

The atmosphere was tense.

Elder Tan was all seriousness, his gaze deep as he looked at Wu Jie.

“The security situation is not optimistic!”

“Judging from the current international exchange rate and futures trading, the situation is too dismal to bear.

The public’s fear of the Sakuragi Hana virus is deepening.

Therefore, if the virus isn’t eliminated soon, things will continue to get worse!”

“So, this is not only a crisis facing all of humanity, but crises often bring both danger and opportunity.

If we can overcome the danger, why couldn’t this also be an opportunity for a turnaround and a resounding victory?”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, clearly aware of the significant implications of the Detox Pill.

“For me personally, money is meaningless.

What I most want is to take back what originally belonged to us and gain the status we deserve!”

Elder Tan paused slightly, then chuckled:

“I knew you’d say that!

We discussed organizing a large group of elites for negotiation, but after thinking it over, I concluded that this task should be yours!”

“First, because you developed the Detox Pill, and you’re the only one in the world who understands it; no one can steal that from you.

Second, you’re principled.

Others call you the King of Tricksters as a smear, but you understand negotiation better than most!”

“Third, negotiating in your personal capacity allows you to speak more freely, whereas formal negotiations tend to be hampered by red tape and excessive politeness, which can be a real pain and face-losing affair!”

“In short, the Detox Pill itself is an immature and untested medical experimental product.

Even considering it as a commodity, trading in medicine is a commercial activity.

Negotiations between companies seems more fitting!”

Wu Jie nodded and stood up: “Alright, I know what to say and what to do!”

Saying this, Wu Jie prepared to leave.

“Hold on!”

Elder Tan stopped Wu Jie with an amused smile: “Are you going to negotiate with them dressed like that?”

Casual clothes with a satchel slung around his waist.

If he wore a hard hat on his head, he would perfectly fit the bill of a construction foreman.

“It was a hurried arrival!” Wu Jie laughed: “But it doesn’t matter.

Lei from Xiaomi always goes out with big toad-sunglasses, a suit jacket, ripped jeans, and sports shoes.”

“Ma always likes to wear shirts so loose he could fit two of himself inside.

Dong, although always in a suit and leather shoes, probably wishes he could strangle himself with his tie.”

“So, what you wear isn’t important.

When you’ve reached a high enough level, people don’t look at your attire, they see your identity!”

Elder Tan chuckled: “I haven’t even asked you to dress formally and you’re already coming up with all sorts of justifications.

Fine, let’s see what you can do next!”

“Don’t worry, Elder Tan.

Just one thing to remember: don’t hesitate, just go for it!”

Wu Jie turned composedly and strode away.

As soon as the door closed, several people who had been eavesdropping in the next room came out.

“The kid is good at playing people, but who knows how he’ll perform this time!”

“Hopefully, Perrio can keep his cool and not be dumbfounded by him again in public!”

“I think this approach is good!

If he doesn’t negotiate well, we can send someone else after him!”

“Exactly, he’s the good cop, but there has to be a bad cop too, right?

Otherwise, how can we play good cop bad cop?”

“To fight a hooligan, you must use a hooligan’s methods!

I have faith in this kid!”

“Yeah!

Formal, stuffy negotiations aren’t as good as just getting down to brass tacks and haggling.

It’s more direct and satisfying!”

…

When Wu Jie left the office, Zheng asked:

“The delegates are waiting in the meeting room.

Elder Tan isn’t really sending you alone, is he?”

Wu Jie replied, “Yeah!

Who else could there be?”

“Er…”

Zheng touched the back of his head, feeling awkward.

How strange!

For such an important meeting, they sent Wu Jie in by himself!

Was this a joke or was there a deeper meaning?

Zheng didn’t have time to ponder it further.

He and the secretary accompanied Wu Jie directly to the meeting place.

The venue was set up in the banquet hall, which, being a secret meeting, was arranged more like a round-table conference.

Within the grand hall, a huge round table was placed.

In front of each delegate, name plates were positioned, and they all wore simultaneous interpretation earpieces.

Wu Jie also put on an earpiece, scanning the room.

The top thirty in world comprehensive strength had sent representatives to the meeting.

Those seated around the table were no small fry; each had considerable influence.

Those he had previously only seen in the international news, Wu Jie felt they lacked any sort of ‘presence’ now that he was seeing them in person.

Legend has it that people who hold high positions exude a commanding presence without showing anger.

But Wu Jie thought otherwise; were these people really so legendary and imposing?

Weren’t they all just normal humans with two shoulders carrying a head?

What was there to fear?

Perrio, an old acquaintance, seemed to hold some grudges!

Wu Jie figured that after being infuriated twice during their last negotiation, Perrio probably hadn’t let go of that resentment yet!

Of course.

When Wu Jie was late and didn’t show up for the previous lunch meeting, the delegates from the various countries were clearly not pleased.

Seeing that it was Wu Jie coming to negotiate made them feel even more snubbed and disregarded.

So…

Wu Jie hadn’t even spoken yet, but he’d already earned a wave of hatred.

With influential and distinguished individuals, each instance of hatred could be worth millions of energy points.

Earning a wave amounted to nearly forty million energy points.

This is just insanely satisfying!

So…

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Wu Jie laugh, the representatives’ expressions grew even grimmer.

Especially Perrio, clenching his teeth so hard that his cheeks puffed out, he was truly seething!

With an awkward smile, Wu Jie pulled over a chair and sat down.

“None of you are wearing masks, seems like you have quite a bit of confidence in our epidemic prevention, huh!”

As soon as Wu Jie spoke, the translators arranged in the other rooms would quickly translate into various languages.

Thus, the representatives attending the meeting heard everything in their own native languages through their earpieces.

After a brief pause.

Wu Jie took out a vial from his bag, containing three glowing green Detox Pills.

In an instant.

Many covetous, surprised, and curious gazes converged on him.

“You came from far away to attend this secret meeting, so you must have received the notice!”

“That’s right!

I’ve developed a new medicine called the Detox Pill, and I’ve been quite lucky, as it can completely eradicate the Sakuragi Hana virus!”

“At Tianyuan Medical Center, we’ve secretly cured nearly three hundred infected patients, with none relapsing or worsening!”

“Before this, you’ve seen patients’ blood test reports, surveillance videos, and such, but you probably still have doubts!”

“So…

before we start the formal negotiations, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!”

While speaking, Wu Jie placed the vial in the center of the round table, visible to everyone.

A brief silence ensued, as the translators were relaying the message.

After listening, Perrio, as expected, was the first to voice his challenge.

“We’ve seen some reports and videos, but that can’t prove your medicine really works, can it?”

“Even if it temporarily eradicates the virus completely, can you guarantee there won’t be a relapse?

Or that there are no severe side effects?”

Wu Jie said with a smile, “Do you think I would deceive with something as grave as human life?

Did I invite you all here for a secret meeting and negotiation just to mess around for fun?”

“Whether or not it works, whether there will be side effects, even if I say more, it will be hard for you to completely believe.

It’s better to wait until after the negotiation agreement is passed, take the medicine back with you, and try it on viral patients yourselves!”

“In the end, they’re going to die sooner or later.

If they’re fine after taking the medicine, all your doubts will vanish.

So let’s not question the drug’s effectiveness anymore!”

Perrio immediately asked, “Many countries have assembled a multitude of top talents and equipment to find this virus to be especially prone to mutation, making it difficult to completely conquer.

How did your Detox Pill suddenly succeed?”

Perrio’s question was one that interested many, so all eyes quickly turned to Wu Jie.

Everyone knew the Sakuragi Hana virus was particularly difficult to overcome, and many scientists had estimated it would take at least several years to completely decipher and find a cure.

But then…

In one month, Liuli Continent solved it.

What’s more, it was a private pharmaceutical enterprise that got the job done.

This was simply too bizarre, just as incredible as if a private enterprise suddenly succeeded in sending someone to land on Mars.

The seemingly impossible task that had consumed countless resources, Wu Jie had resolved it, which was utterly unbelievable.

Was this a cheat code or what?

“Why did I succeed?” Wu Jie countered, “Research is always a gamble on luck!

Can you say that by organizing many people to buy lottery tickets, spending a lot of money, you’re guaranteed to win the jackpot?

When luck strikes, it’s unstoppable!”

“Also, stop asking irrelevant questions.

People are dying every second around the world.

Every minute you delay, at least a dozen more people die.

Don’t joke around with their lives!”

No sooner had his words fallen than the representative from Yincheng, Watanabe Taizo, spoke up urgently:

“We no longer doubt the efficacy of the drug, and we’re not concerned with other issues.

Right now, we’re losing thousands of lives every day!

Since you have the medicine, then hurry up and share it, let’s all work together to produce the drug on a large scale and eradicate the epidemic!”

Wu Jie scoffed in response, “Share what?

You might be ugly, but you sure dream pretty!

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Don’t tell me you don’t get that?”

Watanabe Taizo gave a cold laugh.

“It’s said that 99% of the things in this world can be solved with money, and the remaining 1% requires even more money!”

“So how much money do we need to spend, or what kind of price must we pay, to buy your Detox Pills?”

Wu Jie glanced around at the others.

Everyone was filled with anticipation.

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

The Sakuragi Hana virus was claiming lives every moment, and to make matters worse, the epidemic was leading to the collapse of social order and setbacks to economic development.

The representatives from the various countries attending the meeting were, of course, eager to get the medicine quickly to escape the virus crisis and return to normality.

“Since nobody wants to waste time, I’ll just get straight to the point!”

Wu Jie stood up, took the vial from the table, and spoke with grave seriousness:

“They say the proper remedy for the heartache is the heart medication!

Whoever can cure my heartache, I’ll give the Detox Pills to them!”

With just a few words from Wu Jie, the room fell deathly silent.

Aiming high to settle for less?

But the outrageous demand Wu Jie made wasn’t something money alone could solve!

At that moment.

All of them had grim expressions, their faces not looking good as they fell into deep thought.

Two minutes passed, and no one spoke.

Wu Jie swept his gaze across the room with an icy look and barked:

“What are you standing around for?

Speak up!

Don’t you want to eradicate the virus anymore?

Don’t think we’re taking advantage of this disaster!”

“We’ve waited for decades, just for an opportunity.

We want to fight for our dignity, not to prove our greatness, but to tell you, we must take back what we’ve lost.”
