Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 428: Withstood the test

Jack Ma returned to Shencheng City next, responsible for finding a headquarters building for the Cosmic Transmission Company.

Before Gu Yi left, he simply told him, "Find a large building to serve as headquarters according to our scale, and you will also organize the company’s structure. If you need money, just go directly to Pei Li."

Gu Yi had left him a business card of Pei Li.

Jack Ma had long heard of Pei Li’s great reputation.

As long as you are familiar with international finance or political circles, both domestically and abroad, you would undoubtedly recognize how terrifying Pei Li’s influence was.

In high-end press conferences in places like Eagle, Europe, East Middle, South America, Touguo Little Sun and others, you could always see Pei Li standing among the crowds of major powers. Although she never gave speeches or comments, she was always able to sit in the front row at all high-end wine event activities, a true behind-the-scenes decision-maker!

All the domestic elite held a layer of reverential fear towards Pei Li.

Because he knew that Wang Jianlin’s direct boss was Pei Li.

So, when he arrived at Pei Li’s villa estate, Jack Ma was somewhat nervous.

Pei Li, elegantly drinking floral tea and noticing Jack’s discomfort, said, "Since you are Brother Yi’s man, you are now one of our own. Don’t be nervous, just tell me how much money you need."

Jack Ma pondered a moment, calculated the budget needed to start up the company’s management layer and headquarters building, and said, "It might need 5 billion."

Pei Li put down her teacup and said, "I’ll just transfer 50 billion to you directly for now. If it’s not enough later, let me know."

Then she instructed her secretary to operate the computer beside them.

She then stood up and said, "I have other matters to attend to now."

Jack Ma found out, merely seconds later, that 50 billion had been transferred into the company account by Dragon Country Bank!

He hurriedly stood up to see Pei Li out.

Before leaving her living room, Pei Li asked him, "Where do you plan to buy the headquarters building?"

Jack Ma replied, "Right here in Shencheng City."

Pei Li nodded and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, go directly to the City Leader of Shencheng. If he doesn’t handle it, call me and I will have someone who can replace him!"

Jack Ma nodded, swallowed dryly, somewhat stunned by the Gu Family’s way of handling things.

Even though it seemed presumptuous, asking for the City Leader of Shencheng to take action was like ordering a subordinate.

Knowing that during Jack Ma’s peak times in Magic Capital, he used to respectfully deal with the City Leader of Magic Capital.

Now, the administrative level of the City Leader of Shencheng was on par with that of Magic Capital, but in Pei Li’s words, it was a position that could be replaced if not obedient!

It could only be said that Jack Ma’s previous positions weren’t high enough to gauge the influence of the Gu Family within the entire conglomerate.

He did indeed visit the City Leader of Shencheng, where back in the day, not just Jack Ma, but even the country’s richest man would have to schedule an appointment to see the City Leader.

But when they heard it was Jack Ma, they let the secretary come out to receive him.

And they readily arranged for a certain bank building in Shencheng City to be handed over to Jack Ma!

The speed of the entire process made Jack Ma feel as if his previous life was wasted.

What is privilege?

This was it!

After sorting out the company building, Jack Ma then started to organize the management team.

For work efficiency, he temporarily called over his previous support team to help him initially structure the company.

On the first day the company opened, Jack Ma met a visitor.

The person did not specify their background.

They just sat across from Jack Ma and said, "President Ma, I hope you can help us with a favor, one that shouldn’t be a problem or too difficult for you."

With the enthusiasm of just finding a new job, Jack Ma asked amiably, "What favor?"

The person said, "In a couple of days, Zhan Shijie and his team will use the Teleportation Array, and I hope President Ma can tell us the coordinates they are sent to."

"Of course, we wouldn’t expect President Ma to help us for nothing," they continued, then pushed a box towards Jack Ma, "This is a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Jack Ma’s pupils dilated instantly.

He thought, such a valuable item, and they are giving it to me so easily?

He sensed something unusual.

"Allow me to think it over. Please take this item back for now," Jack Ma initially refused.

Once the person left, he immediately checked who Zhan Shijie was.

He then discovered that it was the teacher of the disciple who had won first place at a recent martial arts competition, one of the forty-eight Peak Masters!

Jack Ma realized the goal of the people who offered him the elixir, likely aiming to gather information on Zhan Shijie and others’ exploration of planets.

This made Jack Ma break out in a cold sweat, "Are they trying to intercept them?"

Later, Jack Ma noticed other forces anonymously visiting, also asking for help in keeping track of the names of the stars Zhan Shijie and others were sent to.

As previously mentioned, the tens of thousands of Teleportation Arrays covered 200 billion star systems.

If Zhan Shijie’s disciple did not disclose the treasure map coordinates, other forces searching for them would be like finding a needle in the ocean.

But who wouldn’t covet the secret techniques and materials for Core Formation? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The family cooperating with Zhan Shijie this time had chosen just two families with the most sincerity for the joint exploration.

This left other families somewhat disgruntled.

Thus, they found Jack Ma, responsible for the Teleportation Array, privately, to learn the locations in the star systems Zhan Shijie and others were going to, so they could follow them.

Jack Ma, as the current person in charge of the Teleportation Array, had data to see who used the Teleportation Array and where they went.

Those families with intentions might not necessarily be able to defeat Zhan Shijie and snatch items from him.

After all, being at the Qi Refining Peak stage and with secret techniques, dealing with other late-stage Foundation Establishment experts without such techniques was an easy win!

Besides, Zhan Shijie was also a student of a Great Expert; who would be so foolhardy as to openly rob him?

The thoughts of other families were, if the treasure map did not explicitly describe the cave mansion, and only part of it was on the planet, then everyone entering together would have a chance to find the mystical domain!

In two days, Jack Ma had at least five forces hoping for his assistance.

All they needed was for him to keep a slight watch on Zhan Shijie and others’ movements and then inform these five forces—then he would obtain five Foundation Establishment Pills!

If he had these pills, then his family would have six Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Such a lineup, seen globally, was a Cultivation Family not to be underestimated!

But ultimately, Jack Ma still refused to disclose any of Zhan Shijie and others’ movements to these five families.

Of course, this was something that couldn’t be hidden from everyone in the Gu Family.

Jack Ma didn’t know that he had once again passed a test.
