Chapter 140: Promotion Looming

You could only feel grateful when there was comparison, and only with gratitude came loyalty. With loyalty, they could help him manage a future super corporation without worrying about being easily betrayed.

Jiang Xincheng’s plan, with Zhao Guang’s help, was completed very satisfactorily. It could even be said to be unexpectedly perfect. With Zhao Guang’s assistance, Jiang Xincheng won people’s hearts in this way and earned the gratitude of everyone at Weiliang Company.

From the boss to the ordinary security guard, no one was not grateful to Jiang Xincheng, especially after such a narrow escape from death.

This caused a big deviation from Jiang Xincheng’s original plan, but it was a good deviation. In a way, Zhao Guang was also a lucky star, which pleased Jiang Xincheng very much.

The only downside might be that this move would offend Zhao Guang, a local bully. However, Jiang Xincheng’s foundation was in Tianhai City, Jinguo Province. Although Zhao Guang was wealthy and powerful, his influence could not reach that far.

As for Weiliang Company, Jiang Xincheng had already made preliminary plans for them and did not want them to stay in Liangnian City any longer.

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang. If it weren’t for you, we would be finished. Thank you.” Wei Wan thanked Jiang Xincheng respectfully and sincerely, with no trace of her previous dissatisfaction and anger.

Seeing Wei Wan express her gratitude, the other girls of Weiliang Company followed suit, thanking Jiang Xincheng one after another.

“Jiang Xincheng, thank you for your generosity and for saving our lives. Sob sob…”

“Zhao Guang is such a scoundrel. Mr. Jiang, you fought so well, so handsomely. I really like you.”

“We will listen to you in everything. Whatever you ask us to do, we will do. It was so scary just now. Zhao Guang nearly killed us. He is the real big villain.”

…

Looking at the girls crying pitifully, a smile crossed Jiang Xincheng’s face. He looked at Wei Wan and Chen Lingling and said, “Just now, that good-for-nothing Zhao Guang revealed the reason to you. I suppose you can understand what happened. When your new product is combined with some other substances, it forms an extremely terrifying poison. Just one small bottle can turn an area of a hundred meters into a dead zone. So, if the new product were to spread, it could cause irreversible consequences. That’s why the Flourishing Tang Empire had to destroy the new product. If you hadn’t developed it unintentionally, the Flourishing Tang Empire would have issued an extermination order. Everyone and everything related to Experimental Product No. 1 would be destroyed.”

Jiang Xincheng’s stern words sent a chill through all the girls of Weiliang Company, making them shudder and leaving them speechless for a moment.

“Before I came, I investigated. Only Wei Wan and Chen Lingling know how to make the new product. So, you two will be the focus of the Flourishing Tang Empire’s surveillance in the future. This might affect your lives, but the Flourishing Tang Empire has no choice. I hope you can understand. If this poison were to leak out, the impact would be too great. However, it’s not all bad. The Flourishing Tang Empire will also take some responsibility for your safety. If anyone tries to harm you or attempts to get Experimental Product No. 1, the Flourishing Tang Empire will issue missions to rescue you at any time. You can also seek help from the Flourishing Tang Empire whenever needed.”

Jiang Xincheng smiled, paused for a moment, and continued, “As for the other employees of Weiliang Company, the Flourishing Tang Empire will also keep an eye on them. So, I hope none of you will disclose anything about Experimental Product No. 1. If others find out and develop ill intentions toward it, you will still be the ones to suffer in the end.”

Jiang Xincheng’s sincere words made the girls of Weiliang Company show gratitude, and they quickly responded.

“We understand. We will keep this secret in our hearts forever and never tell anyone. We certainly won’t let this poison spread.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. We got it.”

“We will destroy all the data related to Experimental Product No. 1 right away and never produce it again. Thank you, Jiang Xincheng, for being so magnanimous and sparing us.”

…

All the girls expressed their thanks and promises, still shaken by the experience. They never expected that a skincare product they had unintentionally developed could turn out to be a terrifying poison, capable of combining with other substances to create a toxin that could destroy everything.

Jiang Xincheng did not tell them which substances Experimental Product No. 1 would combine with to form this terrible poison. The Flourishing Tang Empire had also accidentally discovered the secret of Experimental Product No. 1 through monitoring, and it was under extremely rare circumstances. The more they knew, the more danger these girls would face, which would not be conducive to his next plan.

Seeing that all the girls no longer resisted the idea of destroying Experimental Product No. 1, Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly. “Since none of you have any issues, let’s proceed to destroy everything related to Experimental Product No. 1.”

“Yes, I’ll lead the way. The data and samples of Experimental Product No. 1 are all in the laboratory.” Chen Lingling quickly offered to guide them. Jiang Xincheng nodded and personally led a large group of police officers to Weiliang Company’s laboratory, where they destroyed all the data related to the new product. The new product itself was also completely destroyed. However, no one noticed that Jiang Xincheng quietly hid a few bottles of the new product in passing.

This terrifying chemical poison might come in handy someday.

After everything was destroyed, Jiang Xincheng used a handheld computer to take pictures and sent them to the Flourishing Tang Empire for careful review. Half an hour later, with a ding, it meant Jiang Xincheng had officially completed this Three-Star Quest.

One thousand Flourishing Tang Points!

On the Ten-Leader Token, all ten small figures were covered in a faint white light. However, the light on the last figure was slightly dimmer, indicating that Jiang Xincheng was just a little short of merit to break through from Leader of Ten to Centurion—a position on the same level as Shi Jiewen, the Centurion who had gone to Tianhai University a few months earlier to select reserve members for the Flourishing Tang Empire.

In just a few months, Jiang Xincheng had risen from a reserve member of the Flourishing Tang Empire to the verge of becoming a Centurion. Such speed was considered top-notch even within the Flourishing Tang Empire.

In addition to the Flourishing Tang Points worth over ten million Credit Points, the rewards for this Three-Star Quest were undeniably generous. Moreover, the task itself was not particularly difficult. If Experimental Product No. 1 had not been so dangerous and the Flourishing Tang Empire had not urgently needed an Empire member to destroy it, this relatively simple task would likely not have been rated as a Three-Star Quest.

Everything was completed smoothly. The only minor incident was Zhao Guang, but to Jiang Xincheng, he wasn’t even worth mentioning—someone who could be dealt with in just a few moves. How could Jiang Xincheng possibly care about him?

Now that the quest was completed, it was time for the main event.

Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly, a strange expression crossing his face as he looked at the brave and beautiful Wei Wan and the gentle and charming Chen Lingling.
