My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1041 - 612: Imperial Machinations

"Actually, if there’s anything, we can talk over the phone.

You know, there are a lot of eyes on you now, this doesn’t comply with the organization’s confidentiality rules!" Meng Lang accepted the teacup Gao Yuan handed him with a serious face.

"Confidentiality rules? I didn’t know the organization had those."

"Ahem! After all, you’ve been in the organization for a short time, so it’s normal not to know many things."

"Speaking of which, the organization’s rules and regulations, code of conduct, such guidelines—I actually know very little about them. Could you send me some information, so I don’t make mistakes in the future?"

"Uh..." Meng Lang started sweating a bit. How am I supposed to conjure that up on the spot for you?

"Well... actually, the organization is quite humane. After all, rules are dead, people are alive. As long as it benefits our goals, rules and regulations aren’t that important."

"Haha!" Gao Yuan laughed softly, not bursting the bubble.

"Don’t worry, we’re not talking personal matters today."

Meng Lang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around somewhat uneasily.

"I specifically had someone do a double-layer soundproofing here, much stronger than a KTV private room.

Unless someone’s eavesdropping right by the door, nothing can be heard of our conversation." Gao Yuan clearly understood Meng Lang’s concerns.

"Yes... Chairman Gao, you’re very meticulous, so what do you want to discuss with me today as ’official business’?" Meng Lang highlighted today’s theme again.

Gao Yuan rolled her eyes rather helplessly.

"What official business do you want to discuss? Do you think a large group with tens of thousands of people needs only a few phone calls, and then it can naturally develop into a Fortune 500 company without any oversight?"

Uh...can’t it? The book told me that’s the process?

"Ahem! This fully illustrates the organization’s trust in your personal abilities!"

Gao Yuan felt even more helpless.

Which big corporation’s leadership doesn’t have a small meeting every three days, a big meeting every week, or at least a strategic meeting once a month?

Who else is like you, being a hands-off manager all the time?

"Every task you give me is either suddenly starting a new company or suddenly having a new strategy.

Various new technologies are dumped on me out of nowhere, or I’m required to greatly accelerate planned schedules.

Afterward, there’s never any follow-up on the task details...

You don’t need me to report back on the latest industry layout, net profit growth, tech research progress... shouldn’t you reassess these?"

"Uh..."

Meng Lang was at a loss for words.

Can I say I have a book that skips the process and goes straight to the result?

Isn’t that a hundred times better than any assessment?

Besides, the Earth itself is fracturing, do I need to worry about how much the company made this month?

Can earning a few more percentage points save the Earth?

Ultimately, it’s because Gao Yuan, this legendary CEO, is too capable.

Whether dealing with business competitors, navigating complex personal relationships, or managing the chaotic internal staff, I don’t need to worry about a thing.

Being a hands-off manager is quite pleasant.

Sigh! You still blame me, but it’s clearly you who spoiled me...

Meng Lang deeply reflected on the other party’s behalf.

But after thinking a bit.

I do seem recently to have focused more on strategy rather than tactics, brushing over Wanwu Group’s developments in broad strokes...

But there’s no choice; you eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

"Hmm! Actually, I came today to hear your views on the group’s recent developments..." Meng Lang looked very serious.

Gao Yuan: "..."

Too lazy to complain, she began to speak.

"Other things can wait, but regarding the group’s next strategic direction, there are a few key issues I need exact answers from you."

"Go on."

"First of all, I want to ask about the Light Chip ’A.’ What’s going on with it? Why did we intentionally let the other side get it?

Although my clearance is low, as the executor, you should at least give me an idea, right?

Otherwise, how are we supposed to proceed, to what extent, I’m afraid it’s hard for me to gauge."

Hmm...makes sense.

Meng Lang thought about it, "Actually, this ’A’... it has some technical flaws."

"Huh?" Gao Yuan was taken aback. "Flaws?"

"That’s right, and we have a way to exploit them..."

"What..."

Gao Yuan’s eyes widened, her brain racing.

"So you mean to say..."

Meng Lang didn’t answer, but his smile was full of meaning.

Gao Yuan: "..."

Clearly aware of the light chip technology advantages, Gao Yuan’s mind couldn’t help but race at the possibilities.

If that day ever comes...then the company that officially developed this technology won’t be hailed as a meritorious hero but rather sent to a military tribunal as an accomplice...

How far are you planning to go with this...

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the shock in her heart.

"Alright, I won’t ask much about this, so regarding the ’globalization layout’ you mentioned last time... what about Iwazaki Hideyoshi?

I heard he’s returned to his country, and there’s a pretty good chance he’ll take over as the new Family Head of the Iwazaki family..."

"Haha! Not a chance, just now, he has already become the new Family Head of Iwazaki." Meng Lang updated Gao Yuan with the information.

Gao Yuan was shocked again.

"So, everything is really going according to your script..."

Reading ’The Heir of a Chaebol Family’ earlier felt far-fetched, but now...

"Have you managed to persuade him to work with us?"

"It’s not cooperation."

"Oh~" Gao Yuan nodded.

That makes sense, given his family’s wealth and power, it’s likely just some sort of interest exchange...

"It’s that he has to listen to us!"

Gao Yuan: "..."

"Which kind of obedience?" Gao Yuan asked uncertainly.

"The kind where if we tell him to go east, he doesn’t dare to go west; if we tell him to walk the dog, he wouldn’t dare to mess with the chickens."

Gao Yuan: "..."

"How... did you do it?"

"Well... it involved using a technology the organization just developed..."

After thinking for a moment, Meng Lang felt it was time to let her understand more about the intelligence within the organization.

Not only because sitting in Gao Yuan’s position, it’s almost certain she would be targeted by the Night Demon Clan in the future, so she needs to be warned about the dangers of the enemy and take preventive measures.

Also, the subsequent plan to devour Fusang requires Gao Yuan to cooperate with Xiao Yu for further strategic deployment...

Although some of the information is quite sensitive, as an "excellent employee" who has charged into battle and made sacrifices for the organization, she still deserves trust...

So, he briefly outlined the basic information about "Clan," "Spiritual Synchronization," and the "Brainwave Amplifier."

The more Gao Yuan listened, the more shocked she became, eventually becoming somewhat numb.

The Night Demon Clan are alien parasites capable of splitting off bodies to control humans... and the organization is even more terrifying!

They actually managed to reverse engineer and directly develop the "Brainwave Amplifier," and then turned the tables to recruit a Night Demon Clan member, using them to create a "Clan"...

Why does it sound like the organization is the real villain here?

The Brainwave Amplifier... it can even subtly influence human minds...

This is utterly chilling!

The utility and danger of this thing are equally vast, essentially a double-edged sword.

If it falls into evil hands...

"Wait a minute! You’re saying, only Xiao Yu can currently use the ’Brainwave Amplifier’?"

"Yes! Although it’s not certain whether there are other suitable humans, at the moment, it seems only Xiao Yu can meet the requirements for using the Brainwave Amplifier."

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then furrowed her brows.

A sigh of relief because the threshold for this technology seems so high that it won’t be widely abused, leading to global chaos.

But the frown was because...

"I advise you, try to let Xiao Yu use this ability as little as possible."

"Uh..." Meng Lang was taken aback.

He didn’t expect Gao Yuan’s first advice after hearing so much explosive news to be this...

"Are you worried about the safety of the technology? You shouldn’t be; though it’s newly developed, you’re familiar with the organization’s technical strength, ensuring it won’t harm the user’s body."

Meng Lang spoke with confidence.

After all, the brothers wouldn’t joke about Xiao Yu’s safety. Since they provided this technology, it must have undergone multiple verifications in theory and practice to ensure its safety before it was given to him.

However, Gao Yuan shook her head.

"I’m not worried about what it might do to Xiao Yu’s body; I’m worried about the irreversible impact on her psyche!"

"What?" Meng Lang was stunned.

Gao Yuan explained with a serious expression.

"You have to understand, Xiao Yu is at the crucial stage for shaping her worldview and forming her character!

There’s an old saying, ’At three, the little; at seven, the old,’ which highlights this critical period where children’s cognition and personality are most susceptible to external influence.

The ’Brainwave Amplifier’ you provided, though extraordinary, teaching a child to wield a gun and master overly powerful abilities prematurely may not be a good thing.

In psychology, there is the principle of ’Least Effort’!

This means people tend to choose the simplest method to solve a problem.

Once Xiao Yu forms the perception that the easiest way to solve problems is to use the ’Brainwave Amplifier,’ and take out the people who propose them...

Once such a personality is formed, growing up, even if she’s not a heartless tyrant, she might still be an overbearing extremist..."

"This..." Meng Lang stood there, speechless.

He had considered a lot.

Including the function and potential harm of this technology.

But he had never thought about it from the perspective of education...

Recalling, the "Brainwave Amplifier" should be a technology he acquired from "And Then There Were None"...

So, what were Xiao Yu’s performances before and after?

Numerous images flashed through his mind.

"Xiao Yu’s Game": [Until the trajectory of the world increasingly mirrored the game’s plot, Xiao Yu, coming to her senses, cried and asked me.

Hoping for me to tell her that none of it was real...]

"Daughter of Time": [I won’t tell you what the adult Xiao Yu has done.

And what means she used to create a harmonious, united, yet ruthless world...]

Well... looking at the sequence of events.

"Xiao Yu’s Game" → "And Then There Were None" → "Daughter of Time"...

Meng Lang: "..."

When she found out the real world was played into the "Last of the Mohicans" by the game, Xiao Yu would cry and ask him questions.

But after just a few episodes, she had already actively created a harmonious, united, yet ruthless world...

Right! "Little Yu’s Plan" was also a product of that time!

If you ask why, other than giving her the "Brainwave Amplifier" during that period, there’s really no other possibility...

So, it was truly his action that led to such a significant change in Xiao Yu’s personality?

Meng Lang was filled with mixed emotions.

What should have been an innocent and kind-hearted Xiao Yu, because of his unintentional move, turned into a cold, decisive future leader...

Is this right or wrong?

Yes! Emotionally, he didn’t want Xiao Yu to have such a personality change.

But objectively, this change could bring about a huge strategic advantage...

"Sigh!" Meng Lang sighed deeply.

He asked Gao Yuan a rhetorical question.

"Chairman Gao, you’re well-versed in history. Have you ever seen a ruler who quelled chaos without being cold and heartless, and autocratic?"

Gao Yuan: "..."

I’m talking to you about child education.

And you switch to discussing the tactics of rulers with me?
