Over the past few days, the group had already posted out several cheques they had received through selling their secrets. However, most of them were for 100, 000 yuan, with the highest amount being 200, 000 yuan and 250, 000 yuan.
Hence, the sudden appearance of a cheque worth 500, 000 yuan shocked everyone.
After the initial shock, everyone started cheering.
'Mr. Lei, you've really earned a lot this time. Send us some red packets please!'
'He's right, send us some red packets please, Mr. Lei. '
Then, someone asked curiously. 'Mr. Lei, what information did you sell to be able to receive so much money?'
'He's right, why don't you tell us? We would like to know as well. '
Alas, it all comes down to this. Society is a very realistic place, where money is the currency for everything. If you have money, everyone will look up to you. If you don't, everyone will instantly look the other way.
In fact, this even became a morbid phenomenon... No matter how the money was earned, as long as it's there, that person would be hailed as a king.
Wang Dong opened this person's WeChat and checked his chat history with him. It was then that he realized that this person was Lei Kun, the Human Resources Director of the e-commerce company, and the person who was mocked by Su Yang previously.
Therefore, Wang Dong could understand why he betrayed Su Yang so thoroughly.
Wang Dong closed the private chat interface between the two of them and went back to the group chat. In the end, he discovered that under the flattery of a few people, although Lei Kun did not say exactly what information he sold, he still generously sent out two red packets.
After the red packet was sent out, he received a bunch of emojis to thank him."
Wang Dong hesitated for a moment before he finally clicked onto both red packets. 'No matter how much I disagree with them, I can't say no to cold, hard cash. Especially with my current life, I haven't reached the point where I can ignore something like this. '
In fact, Lei Kun was indeed very generous. One of the red packets contained 88 yuan for six people, while the other contained 188 yuan for ten people.
Wang Dong's luck was not bad. He managed to receive over 60 yuan from both red packets, so he was quite happy about it. 'This should be enough for three days' worth of meals for both me and my girlfriend. '
However, before he could be happy for long, Lei Kun clearly saw Wang Dong receive the red packet too. Hence, he @ Wang Dong without any trace of politeness and said sarcastically, 'Mr. Wang, you yourself refuse to earn the money, yet you come and receive someone else's red packet. Aren't you being too much?'
Perhaps because he had just sent a red packet, there were immediately two or three people who chimed in to "denounce" Wang Dong.
Before receiving the red packet, Wang Dong was already mentally prepared to be ridiculed, so he turned off his phone nonchalantly. 'You guys carry on, I've already received my red packet anyway. '
Wang Dong was a little pleased with himself, and he even felt the thrill of revenge. He had long been unhappy with these few heartless people, but with his weak character, he did not dare to confront them directly. Hence, now that he secretly received the other party's money, it could be considered to be "revenge".
...
At the same time, in the virtual space, before Su Yang could figure out how to handle Wang Dong's matter, something else interrupted his train of thought.
[Ding, nine guests have arrived at the Burning Reincarnation Circus. Please welcome them. ]
When he saw the notification, Su Yang was shocked. 'The candidates have been gathered already? That quickly? It was much faster than when it was in Hong Kong. '
Su Yang remembered the first time he used the [Guest Mode, where he had to wait for exactly 10 days in order to gather 10 candidates.
This time, the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] was able to gather the candidates much quicker in the Imperial Capital. 'Does this mean that the mortality rate at the Imperial Capital Hospital is high, or that the victims have a strong desire to live?'
But, after thinking about it, Su Yang felt that the latter was more likely.
'After all, the country is developing rapidly, and there are new changes everyday. So, I'm sure everyone can see hope, and there should be more people who are unwilling to die. '
Looking at the notification that popped up before his eyes, Su Yang thought about many things. However, the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] did not care about Su Yang's thoughts. After the notification was completed, it pulled Su Yang into the circus.
Hence, Su Yang's vision turned black at first, then he appeared outside the circus tent.
Just like the last time when he was forced into the "receiving" mode, Su Yang could only see darkness, with only the circus lit up. There was a path of light that extended from the circus to Su Yang's feet, making It feel like the circus had existed since time immemorial.
With his previous experience, Su Yang walked into the circus with ease.
There were no changes to the inside of the circus. There was still a row of seats that surrounded a circular stage. As Su Yang walked in, he automatically appeared in the middle of the round stage, and nine people appeared below the stage.
After that, Su Yang greeted them and briefly explained the situation.
Compared to the previous time, Su Yang was more mature and confident this time. This was not only because he had experienced it once, but also because he was no longer the same as before.
He had dozens of special items, more than ten loyal little monsters, a net worth of close to a hundred billion, many subordinates, and he was backed by the top three countries in the world. Thus, his confidence was different from before.
Su Yang's confidence also influenced the nine people who were brought to the circus. Hence, this time, none of them left the circus, and Su Yang successfully took in these nine men.
After getting the nine of them to swear their loyalty, Su Yang left the circus and got Little Deeny to print out their resumes.
Very soon, after Little Deeny's doppelganger finished 90 backflips, Su Yang obtained the resumes for this batch of candidates.
Su Yang scanned through the nine resumes but did not find anyone who caught his eye.
Among the nine of them, there were four women and five men. Among them, only one man was a one-star talent. His ability was mainly theoretical physics and could be considered a scientist. However... He was not the type that Su Yang needed.
At that moment, Su Yang needed researchers in biology, chemistry, batteries, and materials science.
Of the remaining eight people, other than the assistant researcher who did not have a star rating, the rest were ordinary people who would not have much help in Su Yang's research.
However, Su Yang was still too weak at that moment in terms of influential power. Hence, after some consideration, he decided to pay a price to revive these people.
Su Yang intended to wait for these people to revive. Other than the two researchers who stayed in the virtual space to study with Spirit Building, he would throw everyone else to Old Pei so that he would have more manpower to collect the materials needed for making glass phones.
However, Su Yang was not in a hurry to realize these arrangements. After all, what he needed the most right at that moment was an impressive scientific researcher. After instructing the nine of them to study in the circus, he changed the circus into [Guest Mode] and threw it to the Imperial Capital Hospital once again.
He planned to "gather" a few more batches of talents first. After selecting the people he needed, he would slowly revive these people.
After setting up the circus, Su Yang went downstairs and chatted with Little Deeny and Little Hus. He asked if the special item he wanted could be designed.
When Little Deeny heard Su Yang's question, her reaction was actually very normal. She only said that he had an idea, but she was still researching. However, Little Hus was more irritable.
It scratched the fur on its head and said frustratedly, "Don't rush me! I want to get it out as soon as possible too! But it's not that simple."
When Su Yang saw how frustrated it was, he did not "suppress" it. Instead, he "obediently' bowed."Understood, Little Hus."
Su Yang slipped away with small steps. When he reached the courtyard, he smiled slyly.
Actually, there was a reason why Little Hus was so irritable. It was obviously a very difficult task to supplement an A-Ranked Silver Ability.
Especially since this Silver Ability was extremely abnormal, where Su Yang would be able to detect anyone who mentioned his name.
Therefore, even though Su Yang gave an additional idea:
Find an item that can turn keywords such as "Mr. Su" and "Jiadian Group" into "Su Yang" and trigger his Silver Ability.
However, it was equally difficult to try and actualize it.
After the initial experiment, Little Hus believed that there would be very few special items that could achieve these two possibilities. Therefore, Little Hus and Little Deeny could only follow Su Yang's train of thought and study them. They would try their best to weaken the effects of his abilities.
After a day and night of continuous research, they still made very little progress, so it was no wonder Little Hus was so agitated.
If Su Yang had not promised Little Hus that he would give it a break to play with Janet for two months after the matter had been resolved, it would have quit long ago.
After cursing Little Hus in his heart, Su Yang got the Little Monster Beans to take out a book. Then, he sat down in the courtyard and started reading seriously. 'The filming for "Wandering Planet" is about to be completed. So, I've got to hurry up and accumulate virtual servers for the post-production... '
...
In the next few days, nothing happened.
Ever since Wang Jiang suffered a loss the last time, he had been holding back.
Su Yang was still preparing for his fatal blow. After all, if the enemy did not make a move, he would not either.
Zhao Licheng had already inquired about Su Yang and the others, as well as the industry and company he was in. He decided to deal with them in the near future.
Little Hus and Little Deeny had some ideas and progress in their research. When Su Yang passed by, Little Hus was no longer as irritable. However, this was the result of six days of hard work.
Therefore, every time he passed by Little Hus, Su Yang would lament, "The power of love is indeed great." He would also lament, "Luckily, Little Hus doesn't have an [Advanced Life Evolution] and can't eat, sleep, or drink water. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure such boredom."
Of course, it was not as if nothing had happened over the past few days."Produce 101" finally ended in late June.
That year's national variety show had successfully created a first-generation phenomenal female team in China after half a year.
There were 101 girls, but only 9 of them formed a team. Almost all of them were very popular. Even some contestants who had not formed a team were favored by various variety shows after the show ended.
Meiyue was ranked second and lost to The Devil, who was in first place by a small margin.
In fact, Tan Mei had been calling Su Yang these few days to ask him if he wanted to "operate" and compete for first place.
After all, debuting in the C position and failing to be in the C position were two different concepts.
Truth be told, Su Yang did not lack the money nor did he have such a high moral bottom line. He had a neutral view of trying to "operate the female group's ranking".
However, after consulting Little Bun and asking for Meiyue's opinion, he still gave up on the "operation".
Because even though these two girls had different identities, they gave him the same answer, they did not want to do it.
From Meiyue's own perspective, she did not want to do it because she was a gentle person by nature with no competitive spirit and was afraid of being in the C position. Furthermore, she had a good relationship with The Devil, so she did not want to fight for the rankings.
On the other hand, Li Zijun used her status as an artist to give Su Yang her opinion. She felt that Meiyue's biggest advantage at that moment was her popularity with passersby. Her simple and honest character that did not have any pretense was what made her fans and passersby like her.
The image that she had in people's hearts was that of a girl-next-door, a naive girl.
Hence, her ability and ranking had nothing to do with her persona.
Even if she got first place, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
So it was better not to compete for a higher rank.
After summarizing their opinions, Su Yang left it to fate.
After dealing with the matter with Meiyue, the only thing left was Han Yi's television drama.
After the negotiations were confirmed...
