Dlamini's arrival could only be regarded as an interlude.
A few days later, Brando and the others also came out of the quarantine room. With the bodies of this group of people that were as strong as bulls, it was not easy for them to contract diseases like tuberculosis.
After Brando came out, the office of the research center called and said that Chen Chen wanted to see him.
Brando did not know Chen Chen as well as the others. This was a very strange character.
If he was a businessman, he spent all his time in the laboratory. The business of the company was handled by outsiders and he himself was almost a hands-off boss.
If he was a researcher, he secretly colluded with Western consortiums, smuggled arms, formed illegal armed forces, built underground secret bases, and so on. This did not seem like something a researcher would do at all.
At one point, Brando even had the illusion that this young man named Chen Chen was not trying to establish a life science company, but to establish a terrorist organization...
Brando's evaluation of Chen Chen was: an ambitious person with a strong sense of self.
Although Chen Chen had always kept a low profile, compared to this person, his former boss Dlamini was as harmless as a little white rabbit.
With these thoughts in mind, Brando walked into the office building and pressed the button for the elevator.
Although the office building of the research center was not as solemn as the laboratory building, it had the majesty of a formal organization. The decorations were spotless tiled walls, snow-white ceilings, and large LED light sources that were bright but not glaring.
This was the first time he came to this office building. After all, he was considered a military member of the company and this was the place where the administrative staff worked. People like him needed to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, this time, Chen Chen had personally requested to see him, so he was not one of them.
With a soft sound, the elevator door slid to the left and right. Brando walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor.
However, before the elevator closed completely, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the distance. Then, a slender hand reached in and blocked the elevator door that was about to close.
When the elevator door opened again, it turned out to be Sara, the captain of the fourth team of the BSS, standing outside.
"Sara, why are you here?" Brando asked in surprise.
"I —"
She did not expect the person in the elevator to be her captain. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "I was looking around..."
Sarah was the only female among the mercenaries. Because she liked to wear low-brow makeup and had the same cold and arrogant temperament, she was actually somewhat similar to the French actress Eva Green.
However, unlike her usual attire, Sara was wearing a low-cut black dress and heavy makeup, as if she was preparing to attend a gala.
Seeing this, Brando suddenly felt like he understood something.
"You were also invited by Mr. Chen, right?"
"Yes, looks like you too."
Sara nodded and hesitantly walked into the elevator. As the elevator door closed, the two of them fell into an awkward silence.
Fortunately, the office building only had five floors. In less than ten seconds, the elevator doors opened again. Brando hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the elevator and looking at the rows of door signs.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the door labeled "Chairman's Office".
Knock, knock, knock!
Brando gently knocked on the door. Suddenly, a voice came from inside. "The door isn't locked, please come in."
After hearing the familiar voice, Brando gently pushed the door open and walked in. Sara followed closely behind.
As Brando expected, the office in front of him was located in the best location and was spacious enough. There were almost no decorations.
There were no expensive oil paintings, no antiques from the East, and no resplendent home. Everything was so simple but orderly.
Right in front of the door was a wide office desk. Behind the desk, Chen Chen was sitting on a heavy chair, quietly reading two thin documents.
From Brando's perspective, it seemed to be two personnel files.
"Please take a seat. You can pour yourself some water if you want."
Chen Chen raised his head and made an inviting gesture to the two of them. Then, he saw Sara's attire and was suddenly taken aback. "Miss Sara, you look very beautiful today. Are you going out on a date?"
"No, I'm just..."
Sara awkwardly tucked her hair. "I just want to be the other me occasionally."
"Oh."
Chen Chen nodded as if he understood and then said, "Then I'll cut to the chase. I'm sure both of you know that Mr. Dlamini has been seriously ill some time ago. As he can't afford the medical fees, he's mortgaged his shares in Tara Company to me."
Brando and Sara were shocked and looked at each other.
No one would believe that Dlamini could not afford the medical fees. However, this was not the main point of this sentence. It was the transfer of Tara Private Security Company.
Although Dlamini was only one of the shareholders of Tara Company, he held eighty percent of the company's shares and had the highest say in the company. Therefore, it could be assumed that this company originally belonged to Dlamini.
This company could be said to be the core of Dlamini's power. Asking Dlamini to give up this company was as difficult as cutting off a piece of his flesh.
Now, this Tara Company had been so easily transferred to the name of this young man from the Mainland?
Both of them were deeply shaken by this...
Chen Chen continued. "This time, I've invited both of you because you're both the most senior and outstanding employees of Tara Private Security Company. You're also very familiar with the structure of Tara Company. Therefore, I'd like to ask both of you to make a trip back to the Rainbow Nation and ask the other shareholders to take out the remaining shares of Tara Company so that we can purchase them."
"Mr. Chen..."
Brando quickly said, "This will be difficult. After all, you should know that there are many political parties in the Rainbow Nation and they have a large number of private armed forces. The other shareholders may be slightly weaker than Dlamini, but when these shareholders unite, they're still a huge force. It'll be difficult for us to shake them..."
"Of course, I'm aware of this."
Chen Chen smiled. "Don't worry, I'll work with the plutocrats of Northern America and Europe to put pressure on the Rainbow Nation. You'll be the negotiating team to protect the company. After all, who's more familiar with that place than you?"
Then, Chen Chen added, "Also, I'll ask Cheng Cao to go with you."
Hearing this, Brando heaved a sigh of relief. "Sir Cheng Cao will go with us? That'll be much easier. "
Chen Chen nodded. Suddenly, his tone changed and he said meaningfully, "As long as you can successfully complete this task, I'll give you a special choice.
"A choice of 'joining us completely'..."
