Chapter 691: 691 Digital Bosses Escort! [1 more update]

"..."

The entire conference room suddenly plunged into a dead silence.

Everyone looked up in shock, turning towards the conference room door that had been pushed open.

The woman had beautiful platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes, a very typical Western appearance, yet she wore clothes with a distinctive Shenzhou style.

This was the latest high-fashion of this season from Pulling the Sky.

Just the extremely luxurious and precious materials alone had a price in the tens of millions.

Ye Wanlan specially tailored this garment for Christine, something that couldn’t even be bought.

No one, including Principal Nero, expected the extremely young president of the World’s First Bank to appear here.

"Miss Christine!" Tern’s face changed instantly as he stood up abruptly, "You... what brings you here?"

"Suddenly remembered my investment in Shenzhou University." Christine swept her eyes coldly over the crowd, "I came to see if my money was being spent properly, only to hear you threatening Principal Nero."

Such a simple sentence made Tern’s hair stand on end, and sweat formed on his back.

As the President of the World Bank, Kristin Constans handles countless affairs every day.

Perhaps because it had been silent for too long, many people had forgotten she could spark a financial storm at any moment.

If she wished, she could cause the financial flows of any power within the Global Center to collapse instantly.

And the Constans Family’s investment in Shenzhou University was entirely unconditional; as long as this money could cultivate more students and give the faculty better funding support, that was enough.

That was also because Christine herself graduated from Shenzhou University and received care from Principal Nero.

Therefore, Christine never cared about these issues, nor did she attend the board meetings.

"Miss Christine, please listen to my explanation!" Tern was sweating profusely in anxiety, "For me to say such things, it’s absolutely not about a desire to control your money, it’s just because Yunjing University’s exchange program is really unsuitable!"

Christine didn’t speak.

The young deacon stepped forward with a slight smile, "Mr. Tern, this position doesn’t belong to you. Please step aside."

A very respectful tone, yet it was a command and a warning.

Tern’s legs weakened, and he almost crawled out of his seat.

The young deacon took out a handkerchief, thoroughly wiped the chair, and then stepped back, "Miss Christine, please."

Christine then sat down.

At this table, she was the youngest.

But everyone knew that age and gender were utterly meaningless in front of power.

"Teacher Nero." Christine’s gaze softened as she turned to Principal Nero, "Long time no see."

"Not really a long time, I can always see you on TV, Little Keli." Principal Nero laughed heartily, "You’re doing better and better, the teacher is very pleased."

Christine also showed a faint smile, "Rest assured, the investment won’t be withdrawn. I’m very optimistic about the exchange program with Yunjing University and will invest more."

This statement surprised the other board members, making them look at each other.

Christine’s words were clearly protecting Yunjing University.

Principal Nero’s expression subtly hardened, "This project won’t stop, Little Keli, you may rest easy."

"That’s good." Christine finally glanced coldly at Tern and said, "Pack your things and get out of the board!"

Tern trembled, feeling somewhat unwilling but resigned to his fate, "Yes, Miss Christine."

Since Christine cleaned up her father and brothers with iron methods months ago, no one in the Constans Family dared to defy her orders.

Because they knew that she truly severed ties, with no considerations of sentiment.

"I will review this project regularly." Christine’s gaze passed over each board member, "Alright, let’s adjourn the meeting."

She got up and walked out, the other board members breathed a sigh of relief as if granted amnesty.

"Miss Christine’s oppressive aura is truly getting stronger..."

"Who wouldn’t agree, I don’t even dare to meet her gaze."

Leaving the board building, Christine took out her phone.

[World’s Richest]: Done, truly a bunch of useless people.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Rich Sister, you never disappoint.

[World’s Richest]: Where’s Sister YN?

[Cultured Person]: Oh, their schedule for the afternoon is to visit Yeh Xingli’s unit; guess they’ve entered the restricted area, all communication devices confiscated.

The exchange team from Yunjing University had indeed just entered the International Strategic Studies Institute.

Even insiders couldn’t carry any communication devices upon entering the restricted research area.

Researchers had to leave their communication devices in secure lockers outside when entering the research zone.

"It’s my first time at the International Strategic Studies Institute too." Teacher Qi sighed, "This place is truly the world’s largest tech research institute."

What the International Strategic Studies Institute prepared wasn’t just for the international stage but to guard against another Battle of Ten Thousand Armies like Shenzhou faced three hundred years ago.

Clearly, the Institute recognized that the enemy from three hundred years ago was not of this world.

Moreover, now parallel universes, quantum entanglement, and other theories have been proven.

As early as last century, UFOs were confirmed by the International Strategic Studies Institute to be real, although publicly dismissed as rumors.

If there were truly extraterrestrial visitors in the future, there must be adequate counter-measures.

Ye Wanlan calmly observed the various machinery on both sides.

In terms of technological advancement, the International Strategic Studies Institute indeed matched the other high-tech world she had visited.

"Wanlan, look, such a huge mecha." The girl beside her was excited, "I’ve only seen mecha like this in movies, didn’t expect the Strategic Institute to have already developed it!"

Ye Wanlan hinted thoughtfully, "We will have it too."

"Definitely." The girl nodded, "I’m studying mechanics and will join the research institute to study these, we can’t lack what the Global Center has."

Someone seemed to have heard, letting out a mocking snort, but the exchange students paid no heed.

"This is a Beta-level combat mecha," the staff introduced, "The mecha stands three meters tall, integrating attack and defense, and can repair the wearer’s injuries. It’s already in use; the Institute will soon invite professional personnel to demonstrate it, you may watch."

The International Strategic Studies Institute had no qualms about revealing technology because the real core technology could not be observed.

Teacher Qi nodded, "Thank you."

After passing through the mechanical corridor, the group entered Experimental Zone N under the guidance of the staff.

"Please put on gas masks," the staff reminded, "Biochemical experiments are underway here and harmful experimental gases may escape."

Only after everyone donned gas masks did they enter Zone N.

Ye Wanlan glanced around, noticing various liquids stored in transparent containers.

She had heard Yeh Xingli mention Experimental Zone N.

This was the largest biochemical experiment zone internationally, with nearly eight thousand formal researchers alone.

As they walked, staff introduced some virus names.

Ye Wanlan suddenly stopped.

"Wanlan?" The girl looked at her, puzzled, "Is something wrong physically?"

"Beep beep beep!"

At this moment, an urgent alarm blared sharply and piercingly.

The alarm sounded, changing the expression of everyone in Zone N, including the staff leading the way.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! DS virus has leaked! DS virus has leaked!]

[N Zone will be closed! N Zone will be closed! N Zone will be closed!]

[To prevent further virus spread, no personnel are allowed to enter or exit N Zone!]

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out!
