The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits

Chapter 470: Chapter 474: Rebirth in the Apocalypse (11)

In the van, no one could imagine that Chairman Su, the owner of assets worth hundreds of billions, would be sitting inside in such plain clothes.

"How’s it going?"

"It’s done."

Apart from Chairman Su, there were several men and women with ordinary, unremarkable faces in the van.

These individuals, who could easily blend into a crowd without being noticed, were not to be underestimated by Su Fugui in the least.

Knowing the truth, Su Fugui was also aware of these people’s special identities.

After exchanging a few words with the manager of the purchasing department, Su Fugui passed the initiative to speak to the leader among them.

They were led by a middle-aged man. He glanced at the purchasing manager and Su Fugui, then fixed his eyes directly on the briefcase in the purchasing manager’s hands.

"Open it."

At his command, the purchasing manager quickly propped the case in his hands and opened it.

Inside was a case full of US dollars, roughly estimated to be worth at least a few million.

"He said this is the deposit, and once everything is settled, the rest of the money will be transferred into my account."

The purchasing manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to meet the eyes of the people in front of him.

The enigmatic figure put immense pressure on him, and seeing how Chairman Su was so respectful, he knew the man’s status was no small matter.

The purchasing manager didn’t dare withhold anything, relaying every word Qi ersheng had said to him in detail.

The leading middle-aged man stared at the case full of money, his gaze intense and silent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

He was silent for a while until a woman beside him listened carefully to something through her headset, then leaned in and whispered in the lead man’s ear, "Boss, we’ve tracked that Qi ersheng has moved a large sum of company funds."

At this point, the middle-aged man finally reacted, frowning as he said, "Proceed according to the plan."

It turned out that the betrayal scenario Qi ersheng believed to be genuine was actually a trap set specifically for him.

As time passed, a restless Su Fugui finally received contact from Su Li’s uncle’s men a few days later.

Based on their analysis of Qi ersheng’s behavior, and realizing his extreme attentiveness to Jade, they predicted he might need the alien object in his possession, so they connected with Su Fugui to set a trap for him, just waiting for him to fall into it.

The people from government agencies really are formidable; they hadn’t even seen the alien object Qi ersheng had in his possession, but through their analysis and integration, they had guessed almost exactly what the Trading System was, the conditions it needed, the capabilities it had, and all their targeted actions were directed at the core of the matter.

Even with a lifetime’s more memories and experiences than an ordinary person, Qi ersheng could never have guessed that his indiscreet actions had already been exposed.

Qi ersheng was just an ordinary businessman. If no one had pointed out his peculiarities, and even if someone had noticed the inconsistencies in his behavior, no one would have given them a second thought or paid him any particular attention.

He was given the time to grow, and by the time he had truly come to the attention of important figures, he had already grown into a formidable force, making it extremely difficult to completely bring him down.

When it came to weighing interests, they could only resort to gentle methods of persuasion.

This was one of the reasons why Qi ersheng was able to become a dominant force in his second life.

Of course, another part was due to the surprise onset of the apocalypse that caught everyone off guard, leaving those at the top too busy dealing with their own problems.

In short, it was a perfect storm of time, place, and unity that contributed to Qi ersheng’s success.

But in this lifetime, with the presence of Su Li, they had nipped Qi ersheng’s growth in the bud long before he became prominent, exposing his carefully concealed secrets to those above.

Unlike the considerations of ordinary people, once those in higher positions confirmed the existence of the Trading System, their considerations would lean towards national and the majority’s interests, as for the minority...

The sacrifice of a few was, after all, inevitable.

And Qi ersheng was part of that smaller group.

The actions against Qi ersheng were quickly reported up the chain, and then it was just a matter of waiting for those above to make a decision. With just one order, Qi ersheng would immediately be detained.

Feeling content that he had outsmarted Su Fugui, Qi ersheng hummed a tune as he drove his car, rounding a corner, he turned towards a nightclub instead of his company.

After several stressful days, he finally had a chance to relax, planning to drink a few to celebrate.

Thinking of what the purchasing manager had said, about how the Su Family bought raw stone for their Jade transactions at just a third of the price, his heart heated up with excitement.

The immense profit margin was evident, which explained why the Su Family’s funds accumulated so quickly and powerfully.

Of course, there were losses in the raw stones; not every chosen raw stone could produce Jade of good quality and water content.

But he was different. Although he didn’t have the Eyes of Golden Flame to see through stone skins and discern abnormalities, he had the Trading System.

All he needed was to touch a stone, and through the exchange rate of Jade and Universal Coin, he could indirectly tell if there was potential for green to emerge.

This method, he even went to the Jade gambling scene to buy a small raw stone to test it out, and it was completely feasible.

Discarding Paper money and gold jewelry, to obtain rich Jade directly, Qi ersheng felt that the range of things he could do would be boundlessly expanded.

He could amass capital through rapid reselling, attract talent, and build an unbreakable business Empire.

Just think of the weapons, medicine, and high-tech products in the system—enough to make him a figure coveted by the whole world.

Qi ersheng had already made his plans; once he got a large amount of Jade, he could contact several famous arms dealers in the US.

In this world, apart from drugs, arms and pharmaceutical trafficking brought in money the fastest.

So as not to attract attention, Qi ersheng even decided to forgo selling to his own countrymen, never considering how such items, which could directly alter technological development and shake the foundations of a nation, might impact his own country if they appeared in enemy states.

Maybe he had considered it but simply didn’t care.

For those who place personal gain above all else, patriotism, honor, and a sense of duty are all inconsequential.

Qi ersheng ordered a refreshing cocktail, savored a sip, and then turned his gaze to the dance floor below.

A beautiful figure swaying in the chaos caught his attention.

In the wild, demonic whirl of the dance floor, an incongruous little white flower stood out, naturally drawing the eye.

It was a beautiful young girl in a white dress, who had an air similar to Su Li, both tender and fragile, with a face that evoked a sense of pity.

Unlike Su Li’s innate nobility and toughness, the girl’s biting lip made her look even more like someone who would be overpowered and bullied.
