Then I heard a familiar voice shouting "Sheng Ge" loudly.
Unsurprisingly, His Highness had arrived.
I walked out of the restroom and saw someone pushing His Highness into the conference room.
He was very low-key today. Perhaps all the attendees were important figures, and he dared not be too ostentatious, bringing only one attendant to push his wheelchair.
I took a few steps forward and shook his hand. He smiled at me and said, "I thought I was the only one in a bad way, but I didn't expect you to be so disfigured."
I replied, "That person was ruthless, he almost smashed my face. If I hadn't run fast, my head would be gone."
His Highness said, "You need to bring more people with you when you go out from now on. Ruicheng is a deep place. Someone coming from the opposite side might be there to take your life."
I said, "You're absolutely right. I had no defense at all and was attacked directly."
In my heart, I thought, I am precisely the person standing opposite you, wanting to take your life. You are indeed Zhuge Liang, having foreseen this.
I asked Xiao Hong to have two people take over from his subordinate, pushing His Highness to his seat and helping him out of the wheelchair onto the chair.
His subordinate stood beside him carefully, vigilantly scrutinizing us.
His Highness waved his hand and said, "You can go. Everyone here is one of us; you don't need to worry about me."
A waiter came and escorted his subordinate to the opposite room to rest.
A room was arranged opposite, where all the attendants were to wait.
Following that, Principal Sun also arrived, without any bodyguards. The woman was close behind him.
He entered and scrutinized me for a long time before recognizing me. Then he patted my shoulder and said, "Young President Sheng, who did you offend?"
I said, "Director Sun, I've only been here a few days. I don't know anyone here. How could I know who I offended?"
Principal Sun said, "It seems we all need to be vigilant. They are definitely not just targeting you. They come with ill intentions. If we don't guard against them, it will be detrimental to all of us."
I said, "I also feel they are targeting our new company. These people must know some of our backgrounds and are surely acting with intent. I will specifically propose at the meeting to organize a team to enhance our security."
Principal Sun said, "That's an excellent proposal. I'll be the first to support it!"
I said, "With Director Sun's support, I feel more confident. I believe this should be the first item on the agenda."
Senior said, "Yes, no matter what we do, safety comes first. This incident has served as a wake-up call, and it's for the best."
Xiao Hong and the others came to arrange seats for Principal Sun and sent his secretary to the opposite room to rest.
This meeting was strictly for invited attendees; no one else was allowed in the room.
At a quarter to two, Brother Hui and Xie Jiabao entered with Chen Liben.
Chen Liben was not wearing a military uniform, but a white shirt and gray trousers, dressed casually.
As he entered, he surveyed me. Brother Hui introduced, "Chairman, General Sheng Hao, and this is the renowned General Chen. Everyone, please introduce yourselves."
The senior quickly stepped forward to shake Chen Liben's hand, repeatedly saying, "It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure."
I also went over to shake his hand. He seemed a bit hesitant, perhaps due to the injury on my face.
I said, "I encountered some trouble yesterday, and I apologize for any alarm caused to you, General."
Chen Liben said, "How can I be easily alarmed? It's your swollen face that looks a bit strange, but I can't quite pinpoint why. It just feels off."
As expected, he was a veteran general who had seen many battles, and he immediately recognized the issue with me.
However, I was not nervous. I did not give him time to ponder the matter. The meeting was about to begin. As long as he didn't recognize me, there would be no opportunity.
