"Hello! Are you Miss Li Muran?" Hearing the strange Chinese accent from the other side, I knew it was that group of foreigners.

"Yes, who are you?" Although I guessed who it was, I still pretended not to know and asked him to introduce himself.

"I'm Carl, secretary to Mr. Hewson James." Locke is the secretary of the current chairman.

"What's the matter?" A typical case of pretending to be ignorant.

At this time, Li Muran heard an English voice coming from the opposite side, and thought it was James himself.

"Because Mr. James doesn't speak Chinese, I will translate for the rest of the conversation."

"Go ahead."

I heard someone on the other end start talking, "You Chinese are all straightforward, so I'll be frank. I saw the news about Miss Li selling shares on the dark web. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Nonsense, you have seen it and yet you still ask whether it is real or not. It’s nothing more than that you set the purchase conditions yourself and you are anxious because you can’t buy it.

"it is true."

"Then I wonder if Ms. Li can give priority to selling to the company's internal shareholders?"

"that's not allowed."

"Why?" The other party excitedly asked 'Why?'

Originally, Li Muran could only hear a voice speaking English gibberish on the other end of the phone, but could not hear anything specific. This time the question was particularly loud, which also showed that the person on the other end was very excited and annoyed.

It's normal to be angry, I'm just afraid that you won't be angry.

"No reason. I can do whatever I want with my shares."

Originally, an existing structure had been formed within the company. Most of the current Locke shareholders are funds and banks. Only the original founder's family owns 32% of the shares, followed by Li Muran's own 30%. The rest are in the hands of several banks and fund companies. The shares actually circulating in the market are estimated to be only about 5%, and they have no say at all.

"What do you want to do?"

Oh! It would have been great if it had been this early.

"I have several conditions. First, my people must work within Locke. Of course, I will make them obey the arrangements of Chairman James." This sentence shows that she, as a shareholder, agrees to support James's appointment as chairman.

What’s more, it is a crucial vote belonging to a major shareholder like Li Muran.

"This can be agreed to, but Ms. Li, you will not have any real power in the early stages."

She had been prepared for this. "Okay."

"Second, I am responsible for arms sales in Asia. My people used to mainly coordinate arms arrangements on my side."

Li Muran's request was quite high this time, and she was ready to bargain.

"I can't agree to this. It can only be the sales rights in 10 countries near China." Carl clearly conveyed James' words on the other end of the phone.

"Are you sending away beggars?"

"That's not what I meant. Even though I'm the president, I don't have that much power. These sales rights have been divided up long ago, and it's difficult for me to have such a big change all of a sudden."

That's it, difficult just means hard to do, not impossible to do.

After some bargaining, it was finally decided that the sales rights to 15 countries surrounding China would belong to Li Muran, but which specific 15 countries were was something Li Tianliang had to argue with them about.

"In that case, I guess Ms. Li won't need to sell her shares anymore."

The purpose of talking nonsense has been achieved, so of course the means of threatening can be stopped.

"of course."

As soon as Li Muran hung up the phone, Quan Jinyuan called.

The first thing he did was to loudly question, "Do you want to sell your shares?" Look at the questioning tone he used.

"Yes."

Yelling at himself, who gave him the right.

"Are you okay? If not, I'll hang up."

Nonsense, you are here to question me, right? How come everything is fine?

But Li Muran had no intention of explaining to him. Anyway, he would see the cancellation news soon.

"System, please remove the information about the sale of shares on the dark web now."

"Okay, host."

"Song Yi, give me a list of the weapons we need. When Li Tianliang leaves, take the list with him and ask him to arrange them for us first."

"Also, choose a few people to go with him. Even though we have already discussed it with James, it's just in case someone else makes a move on him."

"Also, we can't relax our training here. After all, they have been away from the army for a long time."

"Yes, I will arrange it."

"I will be returning to Ding County in a few days, so the danger must be dealt with before returning to Ding County. I cannot bring the danger to my parents, as it will scare them."

"By the way, how is Shan Shaojie and the others' training going?"

"They are thugs to begin with, and fighting is commonplace for them, so with a little training they can fight one against five."

"Let Shan Shaojie bring some people here. Practice is the only criterion for testing. The underground in Pingcheng is too chaotic and needs to be unified."

It was Li Muran's words that completely started a new situation in the underworld.

"By the way, how is the training of the Light and Dark teams going? I haven't asked about their training results since we left the Magic City?"

"Because the basic strength of the people inside is uneven, it is impossible to go on a mission at the moment." As expected, it was Song Yi who understood Li Muran.

Yes, Li Muran originally planned to let the Light Group follow Li Tianliang. Although the artificial intelligence Li Tianliang would not be destroyed unless his core was completely destroyed, Li Muran was also afraid that others would discover his weirdness.

At this time, the phone rang again.

Li Muran picked up the phone and saw who was calling. He didn't want to answer it at first, but then he thought about it and answered it.

But the other party asked, "What on earth do you want to do? Why did you cancel the sale of your shares?"

"Quan Jinyuan, isn't that funny? If I want to sell you, you'll be anxious. If I don't sell you, you'll be unhappy too. It seems like whatever I do is wrong."

"That's not what I meant. What exactly are you planning?"

"You don't need to worry about this. By the way, I'm going to send someone to work at Locke Company. I'm going to recruit his assistant and others for him in the next few days. If you have any plans over there, do you understand?"

Although they could not directly access the R&D base, this was a good way to cover up their tracks. Who would have thought that the person who really wanted to steal the secrets had already followed others to Locke before Li Muran's inspection.

In this way, when Li Muran actually goes there, it will be natural for her to just pick someone from her side to help her familiarize herself with the work.

Since this person had been here for a long time, he must have been through multiple investigations and been under close surveillance for a period of time. Who would have thought that such an ordinary person who came to the job fair would be the real killer.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible. Don't be afraid. I'll bring people over this afternoon to protect your safety."

When she heard this, she wanted to complain. She had already made arrangements, so who would need his protection?
