"One million!"
When they heard this number, all the harvesters were shocked.
Qin Hu's expression darkened. Gu Ming and Shen Rongfa shuddered.
Meng Chao ignored them and explained seriously to his father, "Dad, I admit that I did want to research it. After all, I've only heard about things like crystallized neurospheres. I wasn't sure, so I wanted to learn about it.
"But you're right, Dad. We have to be upright. We can't take things that don't belong to us. We'll let Director Gu and Manager Shen worry about what that thing is.
"Just now, we had a conflict with Manager Shen, but that's another matter. The thing belongs to him, and I can't snatch it. That's why I suggested that we split it evenly. If it's really a crystallized neurosphere, we can both earn hundreds of thousands, and we'll be happy.
"But Manager Shen didn't want to accept my suggestion, and Director Gu couldn't even be bothered to look at the material. I could only take a huge risk and buy the material. I'll admit to my loss, but I'll still be able to earn it, right?"
When Meng Yishan heard this, he finally released a long sigh of relief. He and his friends looked at each other, and their wrinkled faces could not help but fill with smiles.
But Shen Rongfa and Director Gu felt even worse than if they had eaten three pounds of flies.
They did not dare look at Qin Hu's expression. They could only glare at Meng Chao.
Qin Hu was so angry that he laughed.
"You're Meng Chao. You're an interesting high school student. I'll remember you." He looked at the increasing number of onlookers around them, and the muscles on his face twitched. "Take your crystallized neurosphere and leave!" he said gravely.
The crystallized neurosphere gave the harvesters confidence, and they were no longer as lost as before. They puffed out their chests and walked out with the Meng father and son.
"Wait!"
At that moment, the leader of the other harvester team under Prosperous called out, "Old Meng, what are you going to do next?"
"Old Li, you …" Meng Yishan was a little surprised.
Meng Chao blinked and rushed to say, "My dad has already found a new source of carcasses, and he has the funds to start the project. He's going to do it himself!"
"You really have a new source of carcasses?" Leader Li's eyes lit up. He thought about it for a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Big Brother Meng, how many carcasses do you have? Can you bring us with you?"
Meng Yishan was slightly taken aback, but when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't that strange.
Under Shen Rongfa's management, Prosperous was very strict with the harvesting teams they were affiliated with. No one dared to voice their anger.
However, there was a limit to his patience. If he really crossed the line, he would be working for someone else. He was a man with arms and legs. How could he starve to death?
Even if Meng Yishan was really the one who broke the materials, it was a very common occurrence when they were harvesting. After all, if Meng Yishan had not been nimble, the Golden Spirit would have long since rotted away, and he would not have been able to snatch any of the materials back.
At this time, a manager who knew how to behave would usually wave his hand and say a few words casually. At most, he would give a symbolic penalty of a few performance bonuses. How could this Mr. Shen be so stubborn?
Many of the harvesters held a deep grudge against Shen Rongfa. This Team Leader Li had complained a lot about Shen Rongfa when they were drinking together. Today's incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back. He really couldn't take it anymore.
Meng Yishan understood Team Leader Li's feelings, but this concerned the livelihood of many harvesters. He had to carefully consider his son's words. A new source of zombies?
Meng Chao, on the other hand, threw caution to the wind.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to provoke a superhuman like Qin Hu.
That was why he had suggested that they split the materials equally just now. If he really opened a crystalized neurosphere, he did not have to go to the extreme.
Once he bought the materials, he would not have chosen to open them in front of Qin Hu if it were not because he was worried that it would affect the quality if he delayed it for too long.
But since he had already offended Qin Hu, what was there to be afraid of?
The war was about to escalate. At that time, what they lacked the most would not be zombies, but skilled harvesters.
If they wanted to become stronger, they had to fight with everything they had every single time a chance presented itself. There was no way Qin Hu could stop him from taking control of his own fate!
"Uncle Li, we definitely don't lack zombies. Forget about just one harvesting team, even if another three or five harvesting teams come, we'll still have work to do. We'll earn money, and our lives will be much better!" Meng Chao said firmly.
Meng Yishan did not know what was going on with his son, but he knew that his son would definitely not speak without thinking. He nodded and stood behind his son.
"Alright!"
Team Leader Li might not really believe Meng Chao, but he knew that he could not continue working at Prosperous. He tore off his protective suit and said loudly, "Mr. Hu, my harvesting team has been affiliated with your company for a few years. Thank you and Manager Shen for taking care of us over this period of time. We get along pretty well, but all good things must come to an end. We'll work until the end of this month. What do you think?"
"Old Meng and Old Li are leaving?"
The other harvesting teams affiliated with Prosperous might not have openly turned against each other like Meng Yishan and Team Leader Li, but the team leaders and workers were whispering to each other. Their eyes sparkled.
By the looks of it, if Meng Chao could really find a sufficient number of new zombies, they might jump ship.
Shen Rongfa and Director Gu did not expect that Meng Chao, a boy who had not even graduated from high school, would be able to cause such a huge commotion.
Their vision darkened, and they did not know what to do.
Qin Hu's eyes shone with a fierce light.
It was just a crystalized neurosphere. He could endure it for a few days.
But the moment the boy spoke, he might drag away most of the people he was familiar with in the company.
'That bastard is going to dig up my roots!'
"Brat, I've already told you to take the crystalized neurosphere, but you don't know when to stop. Do you think you can do it on your own? Heh, looks like you don't know how deep the waters are! "
Qin Hu cackled strangely, and the sound of bones cracking like firecrackers came from under his cloak.
Meng Yishan and the others' expressions changed.
The strength of a superhuman was just too shocking.
But Meng Chao did not move. He was certain that Qin Hu would not dare to attack in public.
As for how many days he would wait?
After a few days, he would contribute more to society, and his strength would increase by leaps and bounds. Would he be afraid of Tiger Down the Mountain?
Qin Hu did not dare to make a scene in public.
He could only gather his killing intent and stab Meng Chao's face like a blade.
But he was surprised. 'Just what is this boy's nerves made of? Why isn't he reacting at all? He's too slow!'
He had been at daggers drawn for a long time, but he did not manage to scare Meng Chao. Just as he was feeling a little awkward, he suddenly heard an old laugh. "My young friend, we're here."
Qin Hu flew into a rage. "Who are you?!"
He saw an old man and a young man slowly walking over from the corner of the street. They were not intimidated by his presence at all. Instead, they stared at him curiously, as if they were sizing up a raging wild boar.
Qin Hu was about to fly into a rage when Gu Ming pulled him back.
"N-Ning …" Gu Ming stuttered.
"What's wrong with you?! What's wrong with you now?!" Qin Hu roared.
"White-haired Ghostly Hands, Ning Shewo! Master Ning!" Gu Ming was excited.
"Ghostly Hands Ning?" Qin Hu stared at him.
He did not know Ning Shewo.
But he did know that there was a handsome man behind the grandfather and grandson. He was dressed in a white biochemical fighting suit, had a longsword on his back, and had peach blossom eyes.
Qin Hu sucked in a sharp breath. He did not know where to put his fat face. He shuddered for a long time before he put on an obsequious smile and jogged over. "Big Brother Peng, why are you here?!"
Thunderbolt's vice captain, Shen Yupeng, stared at him for a long time before he tried to recall who he was. "Tiger, it's you."
"Young Hu, you can just call me Young Hu. I wouldn't dare to be a tiger in front of you, Big Brother Peng."
Qin Hu rubbed his hands, bent his back, and smiled obsequiously. "Last year, I was lucky enough to hunt the Nine-winged Golden Eagle with Thunderbolt. Big Brother Peng, your shocking slash was amazing. I didn't expect that you would remember me. Seriously … Ah, seriously …"
Shen Yupeng smiled. "I'm fine. But Elder Ning said that he has a friend here, so I came with him to see whether we have a chance to work together."
Ghostly Hands Ning's friend!
Qin Hu stared at Meng Chao in shock and bewilderment.
He saw that Meng Chao was chatting happily with Ning Shewo, and he even asked Ning Shewo to appraise his crystalized neurosphere in a very familiar manner.
Qin Hu felt as if he had been punched in the face. It was only then that he realized that he had been blind.
No, it wasn't that he was blind. It was Gu Ming and Shen Rongfa, these two good-for-nothings, especially Shen Rongfa!
Qin Hu glared at Shen Rongfa.
Shen Rongfa shuddered and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Since things had already progressed to this state, Qin Hu could not use force.
They were both superhuman squads that hunted monsters, but Thunderbolt was several times larger than Frenzied Blade. It was impossible for him to fight against them head-on.
He could only press down on the bleeding knife in his heart and smile obsequiously while wishing Meng Chao a safe trip.
Meng Chao pinched Meng Yishan's waist and brought his father back to his senses.
"Let's go. We'll find a quiet place to talk with Elder Ning and Captain Shen."
The group was about to leave when Meng Chao suddenly remembered something. He turned around and strode toward Shen Rongfa.
Shen Rongfa was so terrified that he crawled into the ground like an earthworm.
"Manager Shen, don't be afraid. I'm pretty gentle. I just want what belongs to me back."
Meng Chao extended his hand and raised his voice. "You took my father's 10,000 RMB shopping card so that I can work in Prosperous. I could have let it go if you were willing, but now, I don't intend to work in Prosperous for even a minute. Please return the card to me!"
Shen Rongfa was dumbfounded.
He had completely forgotten about this.
Qin Hu was also dumbfounded.
He had talked about the 10,000 RMB shopping card in front of the vice captain of Thunderbolt. Did Tiger Down the Mountain not have any dignity?
Ning Xueshi could not hold it in. She burst out laughing.
Her bell-like laughter crept into Qin Hu's ears like thunder, and his eyes widened in anger. "Shen … Rong … Fa!"
Shen Rongfa handed over the shopping card with trembling hands.
Meng Chao snatched it and was satisfied. He thought about it. "Oh, there's something else. Tomorrow, my father and the other uncles will come to the company to settle everything. I remember that you've been withholding insurance from their wages. You said that you're paying them according to the highest standards for high-risk jobs. So, you definitely have the original copy of the insurance policy, right?
"Please prepare the documents. We'll hand them in ourselves in the future. We'll come over tomorrow and check them one by one. The accounts are clear, and we have proof so that we won't be arguing in the future.
"That's all. Thank you, Manager Shen. Thank you, President Qin."
Meng Chao put the shopping card into his pocket and strode away without turning his head around.
As he watched the people gradually leave, Qin Hu frowned so hard that he could squeeze gasoline out of his eyebrows.
He turned his head around and saw his brother-in-law's panicked expression. He thought about it and asked in disbelief, "Damn it, did you cheat your employees of their insurance?"
"Brother-in-law, listen to me."
Shen Rongfa was scared out of his wits. He ignored the pain on his cheek and said with snot and tears, "I-I was confused for a moment …"
"What use do I have for you?!"
Qin Hu slapped Shen Rongfa's swollen head.
It was ten times louder than Meng Chao's slap.
Shen Rongfa screamed in pain and spun around eight times. He coughed up a lot of white blood.
