"What did you say?!" Wu Tian's sudden proposal made Bai Ruoqi's delicate body tremble slightly.
"You're coming with me? What are you going for?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't handle it alone. Didn't I just say I'd help you? If I don't go now, wouldn't that be going back on my word?"
Bai Ruoqi was still trying to process it, but she shook her head and said, "No, I don't think I can do it like this."
"This matter is too dangerous. I think it's better if I go alone."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't try to be strong with me at this time."
"With me here, at least there's a fallback. Even if we can't solve the problem, at least I can get you out of here."
"Just like you don't want me to get hurt, I don't want you to get hurt either."
"So I must go with you this time. Even if you refuse me, I'll follow you secretly."
Looking at the smile in Wu Tian's eyes, Bai Ruoqi was stunned.
Immediately, her pretty face turned red, and she averted her gaze, saying, "This... I really can't do anything about you."
"Since that's the case, then we'll go together."
"But let's agree first, if anything goes wrong, you can't be reckless. You have to run when you should, understand?"
Wu Tian nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. When do we leave?"
Bai Ruoqi said, "It's better to do this sooner rather than later. So if that's the case, then we can leave now."
After speaking, the two walked to the rooftop of Tianbao Group's building together.
The height of Tianbao Group's building already exceeded one hundred meters, and such a height required the construction of a helipad.
For Tianbao Group, a helicopter was nothing.
Soon, the two took a helicopter to the headquarters building in the southern region.
The headquarters building was not far from here, so in less than an hour, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of the headquarters building.
Immediately, Bai Ruoqi made a phone call and summoned all the high-level executives of the southern region to hold an emergency meeting in the conference room.
As high-level executives of the southern region, these people were originally top talents with an annual income of over one billion.
Logically, they should have been full of vigor, but at this moment, their expressions were not good, indicating that the situation was not optimistic.
Wu Tian swept his gaze across the room, and the entire conference room was silent.
Their faces were filled with exhaustion, and it seemed they were struggling to hold on.
Bai Ruoqi also knew that the situation was not good. She sat in the chairman's seat and said to the general manager of the southern region, "What's the situation now? Please report."
The manager stood up somewhat weakly and gave a wry smile, saying, "Ms. Bai, half a month ago, we suffered a severe impact."
"The opponent used both forceful attacks and commercial tactics, pushing us to the brink."
"Currently, our region has suffered heavy losses. Not only has thirty percent of our shares been swallowed, but twenty-five percent of our affiliated industries have been seized."
"The spiritual cultivator team has also been greatly weakened. The team of one hundred and fifty people has been reduced to fifty, and the strongest spiritual cultivator among them is at the mid-stage of the eighth level..."
As the manager reported the situation, Bai Ruoqi's expression became increasingly grim, and she felt a dull ache in her temples.
Before coming here, she had anticipated that the situation would be bad.
But she never expected it to be this bad.
If the southern region were compared to a person, then this person would be like having their limbs almost broken, basically losing the power to resist.
She suddenly felt very tired, so she waved her hand and said, "I understand. You don't need to report further. Does anyone have a solution to this crisis?"
"Don't hold back, tell me."
The executives present looked at each other, but no one spoke, and no one even dared to meet Bai Ruoqi's eyes.
Bai Ruoqi also felt that her question was redundant.
What was there to ask? If there were solutions, the situation would not have deteriorated to this point.
She knew that seeking solutions now was impossible. The immediate priority was to rectify the atmosphere.
If everyone lost their fighting spirit, then the southern region could be handed over completely.
Therefore, she paused and said, "Everyone, I know your difficulties."
"I also know that under such a crisis, your willingness to stay here represents your loyalty."
"Here, I must thank you first. If it weren't for your persistent support, the situation would definitely be worse. Thank you."
With that, Bai Ruoqi even stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.
This move undoubtedly made everyone feel a lot better. They responded politely, and the atmosphere finally eased considerably.
Then, Bai Ruoqi continued, "Now the opponent is coming aggressively, with the goal of completely swallowing our southern region."
"In this situation, we must be even more united. Even if there are no solutions, we must push forward with our heads held high."
"Speaking of the southern region, you should cherish it even more than I do, because you have poured all your efforts into it."
"Now the southern region is on the verge of collapse. Perhaps with just one more impact, we will head towards destruction."
"The southern region is like your child to you."
"Everyone, tell me, if your child is about to be snatched away, would you willingly hand him over?"
The executives continued to remain silent, but as Bai Ruoqi spoke, their gazes began to waver.
Most of them had joined the southern region in their twenties, working hard and contributing all the way to reach their current positions.
What Bai Ruoqi said was true, the southern region was like their child, and it was also like their youth.
Who would be willing to see such precious things trampled upon?
Gradually, their eyes turned red, and a sense of indignation was ignited like a flame.
Their weariness vanished, and they immediately stood up and said in an impassioned tone, "I swear to coexist and die with the southern region!"
The executives raised their arms and shouted, and the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became fiery, completely different from the previous one.
Wu Tian was somewhat surprised.
This Bai Ruoqi really had some skills. It seemed this girl was not as weak as he had imagined.
