”I'm not sure about it as well! I'm just guessing! I think we will be able to get the answer that we want once we get there! Just remember! I will store you into the gourd if things get too dangerous! Only by doing that, can I guarantee your safety!”
”What about you? I'm worried about your safety as well!”
”Me? Unless there's someone drops a dozen nuclear bombs on me, I think there should be no one on earth who can threaten my life!”
”You're joking, right? A dozen nuclear bombs is destructive enough to destroy the entire planet Earth!”
”With your current understanding, it's hard for you to gauge the difference between powers! But, I want you to know that I'm not kidding around here! When you've travelled to the Northern Wilderness Starfield, you would find out that there are a lot of mighty intergalactic elites in this universe!”
”Alright… I believe you…”
Lan Mengcheng nodded her head and chose to believe Chen Xiaobei. During the Atlantis incident, she caught a glimpse of the world of powerful elites. Though she had merely witnessed the tip of the iceberg, she had made up her mind to trust Chen Xiaobei fully, not to mention willing to follow Chen Xiaobei around to explore this new chapter of her life.
At Brighton's mansion.
This place was far away from the city, a place surrounded by trees and streams. One could quickly tell of how scenic this place was. The fact was that someone had already claimed the ownership of this place where No one was allowed to set foor within a ten mile radius of the grounds.
With this piece of land, one could imagine how wealthy Brighton Organization was. In order to acquire this piece of land, Brighton Organization would need to spend a great deal of fortune and employ whatever their political connections they had in America. That was why Beicheng Cosmetics chose to ask for their help when it came to expanding into the American market. In terms of business, Beicheng Cosmetics was moving to the right direction. However, it seemed like there was something hidden behind. A secret.
”CEO Chen! CEO Lan! Thank you so travelling so far to come and meet me here! Please have a drink first! We will be having our meeting here today!”
The spokesperson of Brighton Organization, Jacks was very welcoming and ushered Chen Xiaobei and Lan Mengcheng to a fancy common area.
”We already had a drink on our journey here just now! Let's get straight to the point of the day!” said Lan Mengcheng.
”Hehe… I have heard that CEO Lan is very good at what she does! You do live up to your reputation indeed! You should know that not even me myself would drink this extremely rare tea that came all the way from China! It never crossed my mind that CEO Lan would look down on it!”
”No… No… No… It's not about the tea! I'm really not thirsty!”
”CEO Lan! Out of courtesy, I think you and CEO Chen should at least take a sip!” advised Wang Yuhao hushly.
”Secretary Wang, are you trying to say that we are rude if we don't drink his cup of tea?” said Chen Xiaobei.
”We are guests after all. Seeing Mr. Jacks being so welcoming, I don't think it's a good idea that we embarrass him. Am I right? Mr. Chen!”
”Yes! Mr. Jacks is our Wealth God! I must not embarrass him in front of everyone! I will drink this cup of tea!”
Chen Xiaobei then nodded his head, picked up the cup and drank everything from it. Upon seeing that, Jacks and Wang Yuhao put on a subtle sinister smile.
”CEO Lan. You should drink some as well!” said Wang Yuhao.
”Fine…”
Lan Mengcheng nodded her head, put down the documents in her hand, and prepared to pick up the cup.
