The Card Apprentice - Chapter208

"Yeah, yeah, I think Heaven's Wings is the best."

"Exactly. My daughter bought a teaching material from Heaven's Wings, and my eyes were glued to it."

The underlings were all talking at once, all pointing to Heaven's Wings without exception.

"How come I've never heard that name before, Heaven's Wings?" Qian Mingyi asked suspiciously.

"Hey, look at my memory. Boss, I just happened to have that teaching material in my bag. My daughter forgot to bring it when she went out, so I brought it to her!" One of the underlings slapped his head.

Qian Mingyi raised his eyebrows. "Hurry up and get it."

When the fantasy card teaching material was delivered to Qian Mingyi, he immediately inserted it into the card player.

The sky was full of stars, and the universe was boundless, vast and deep!

The conference room was suddenly silent.

Everyone was staring with wide eyes, and their faces were full of shock.

After a full half minute, the conference room suddenly exploded.

"I say, for these teaching materials to dare sell for so much, and for so many people to buy them, it's really good stuff!"

"Heaven's Wings is awesome!

At this level, I reckon it would be a fine product in the five flourishing districts! "

"Extraordinary, extraordinary …"

…

Qian Mingyi was equally shocked, having never seen such a thrilling illusion.

Ignoring his underlings' heated discussion, he quickly made his decision. "Mmmm, Heaven's Wings it is.

Some of you go right away to find the boss of Heaven's Wings, or their director.

I'll give you two hours. Hurry up. "

The underlings all stopped their discussion and looked at each other. Two hours?

Is the boss crazy?

How could two hours be enough to find someone in Pomelo? And what's more, it's the boss of Heaven's Wings?

Qian Mingyi didn't give them any chance to bargain as he continued to say, "Another group of you, go run to all the communication platforms right now. We want the rights to all the prime-time advertising.

If you sell it, buy it from someone else, no matter the cost. Do you understand? "

Qian Mingyi's voice was stern with that last sentence.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they understood the boss was serious. It looked like all the guesses circulating outside about the firm weren't groundless after all!

After a brief division of labor, everyone in the conference room, apart from Qian Mingyi, quickly got to work.

Chen Mu and Wei-ah were still leisurely drinking the pine nut tea Lu Xiaoru had made.

It had to be said that Lu Xiaoru's taste in life was pretty good, and Wei-ah was very satisfied with her skills.

That made Lu Xiaoru relax a little. She could see that although those two were led by Chen Mu, that grim man wasn't someone she could offend.

Lu Xiaoru did her utmost to please him, and the quality of Chen Mu and Wei-ah's lives rose at an alarming rate.

The two of them were enjoying themselves. How could they know that someone was looking for them like crazy?

Perhaps even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much.

The one they'd found was Bu Qiangdong. Given the power of the Central Island Firm, it would be easy for them to find someone with a name in Pomelo.

When Bu Qiangdong was brought in front of Qian Ming, this guy was almost scared out of his wits!

A person's name was like a tree's shadow. The Central Island Firm was synonymous with unattainable in the eyes of the people of Pomelo. Even his former employer, the Lewin family, was nothing more than a little brother in front of the Central Island Firm.

Bu Qiangdong was the director of Heaven's Wings. He couldn't find Chen Mu's guys, so he could only invite him over.

"Hello, please take a seat. I am Qian Mingyi." Qian Mingyi introduced himself calmly and gently.

Qian Mingyi?

Who was Qian Mingyi?

Bu Qiangdong's brain was spinning, but he couldn't quite remember for a moment. He only felt the name sounded familiar.

Just as he was about to sit down with a face full of bewilderment, his expression suddenly changed, and his legs nearly trembled!

My god, Qian Mingyi. It's actually Qian Mingyi!

He finally remembered who Qian Mingyi was!

He was a well-known figure in Pomelo and an out-and-out person with real power at the Central Island Firm.

A long time ago, very few people would call him by his name. Everyone usually called him Uncle Qian.

Bu Qiangdong was very clever, and he quickly stood up with a flattered expression on his face. "There's no place for a junior like me to sit in front of Uncle Qian."

Qian Mingyi grinned and said, "Sit. No need to be polite.

I just happen to have something I need your help with. "

Bu Qiangdong rushed to say, "If Uncle Qian needs anything, just tell me!" He was full of pride. How many people in Pomelo could make Uncle Qian say a word of help?

He had never thought he would one day be able to sit in front of such a big shot as Uncle Qian who would ask for his help.

But, Bu Qiangdong knew very well that although Uncle Qian was being polite, it was nothing more than that.

If he got carried away because of that, he would be too stupid.

He was very pleased with himself, but his face remained respectful.

"Heaven's Wings has been in the limelight lately," Uncle Qian said with the air of an old man.

He had enough qualifications to say that, so he didn't have any resentment when he heard it from Bu Qiangdong's ears.

Bu Qiangdong bowed slightly forward. "Yes." His face remained respectful, but his thoughts were flying elsewhere.

He suddenly thought of the first day the boss had arrived. No one had thought that skinny youth would be able to intimidate everyone, including himself.

No one had thought at the time that Heaven's Wings hadn't retreated after the change of boss, but had instead advanced and developed so quickly in such a short time.

He finally had the qualifications to sit in front of such a big shot as Uncle Qian.

To put it bluntly, it was all because they had a powerful boss.

If it weren't for the boss, Heaven's Wings would still be as lifeless as it had been.

If Bu Qiangdong had been the one to choose, he wouldn't have wanted to go back to what he had been before, even if he had been given twice his current salary.

The current Heaven's Wings, and the current them, had already unknowingly undergone a fundamental change.

They had found their own value, which was also thanks to the boss, or at least that was what Bu Qiangdong felt.

But, thinking about it carefully, the number of things the boss had said to them could be counted on one's fingers, and most of them were just some administrative instructions.

But, it was such a taciturn boss who had made them involuntarily follow in his footsteps.

Uncle Qian said ruefully, "I've seen the fantasy card teaching materials you've made. They're first-rate."

Once he said that, Bu Qiangdong felt even more proud. The sales of that set of teaching materials were still booming, and he could foresee that they would continue for quite a while.

That kind of result had never been seen in Pomelo before. They'd created a miracle that was neither too big nor too small.

To be praised by someone like Uncle Qian wasn't an easy thing to do.

"I have a very important list on hand, but time is tight.

I hope I can finish it in two days, and I hope to get the boss of your company to make a move.

Also, I hope that your company's boss can take action. As for the reward, you can name your price. "

Uncle Qian had finally said his purpose. His expression was calm, and it sounded light, but it gave Bu Qiangdong a strong sense of oppression.

Bu Qiangdong was a little excited. To be able to get a list from the Central Island Firm would undoubtedly be a great help to Heaven's Wings.

But his counterpart's request didn't make him rashly open his mouth. They wanted it to be finished in two days, and they wanted the boss to make a move himself. That wasn't something he could decide.

Bu Qiangdong pondered it for a bit while maintaining his respectful expression. "Uncle Qian's instructions are naturally not a problem.

But this involves the boss, and as his underling, I can't make the decision for him.

I wonder if I could get in touch with our boss? "

Uncle Qian smiled and said leisurely, "Of course." He then indicated that Bu Qiangdong could get in touch with Chen Mu right then.

Bu Qiangdong was a little startled, not having thought his counterpart would be so anxious. It looked like the matter was really urgent.

His brain immediately calmed down. Although those big firms weren't stingy with their money, if they didn't succeed, the consequences would be just as serious.

Bu Qiangdong composed himself and activated the communications card.

Lu Xiaoru's room was extremely comfortable. It was as warm as spring, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of wool carpet that was very soft to step on.

The chairs and sofas were even softer. Once you sat in them, your whole body would sink into them.

Chen Mu and Wei-ah weren't used to that kind of soft sofa, and the two of them simply sat on the carpet so that they could quickly react if something happened.

Chen Mu was studying Lu Xiaoru's card.

He had always been curious about Lu Xiaoru's card. Now that he had relaxed, how could he restrain his curiosity?

After carefully studying the card's composition, Chen Mu suddenly realized why he hadn't seen Lu Xiaoru's attack all along.

It was a soundwave card, which could produce a kind of energy body similar to a sounder's structure. From there, it could emit an extremely lethal soundwave attack.

Moreover, these sound waves were not dispersed, but compressed in a very small area, forming something similar to a high-pressure compressed sound cannon.

The power of the soundwave cannon it produced was astonishing. Once the soundwave cannon hit the energy cloak, it would cause the energy cloak to vibrate at a high frequency. That way, the card artisans inside the energy cloak wouldn't be able to escape.

Sound could be transmitted through the air, and the card artisans would sink into a kind of strange semi-comatose state.

That was also why he had seen those card artisans suddenly lose their ability to resist.

It was a rather unconventional card, and Chen Mu had never seen such a card before.

Apart from broadening his horizons, his interest was also growing.

He found out from Lu Xiaoru that the card was called the Sound Beam, which she had obtained from a card artisan she had killed in a battle.

But, since she didn't have a way to use it, she only knew a few simple methods of attack.

Chen Mu was always full of interest in new knowledge about cards.

He didn't know how much more knowledgeable he was then.

With the Token Theory as the core, he could always find patterns in the seemingly chaotic composition of those cards.

Just then, the apparatus on his wrist suddenly rang.

It was Bu Qiangdong. Chen Mu answered, and Bu Qiangdong's face appeared on the screen that popped up in front of him.

Chen Mu was a little surprised. What would Bu Qiangdong want to find him at that time?

It was the weekend, and given Bu Qiangdong's habits, he would never bother him on the weekend unless there was something important.

"What is it?" he asked very directly.

Bu Qiangdong glanced out of the corner of his eye at Qian Mingyi, who was leisurely drinking tea not far away. He was quite a distance from him, and he wasn't worried about being eavesdropped.

"The Central Island Firm is looking for me today, Boss."

"The Central Island Firm?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't the instigator of that big battle the Central Island Firm?

And it was they who had set their sights on the communications array and the thousand-kilometer card.

He had already blacklisted the Central Island Firm, and if he hadn't been so lucky, he would have been the unlucky one.

He absolutely didn't believe that such a big gang of card artisans from the Central Island Firm would resolve the issue in such a peaceful manner.

Could they have discovered something?

Chen Mu's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a sword.

On the other end, Bu Qiangdong was startled. He had always been in awe of Chen Mu, but he had never seen such a frightening gaze from the boss, which scared him quite a bit.

"Do you have a problem with the Central Island Firm?" Bu Qiangdong asked cautiously.

Chen Mu didn't answer but asked, "What did they want to see you about?"

Chen Mu's gaze was almost tangible and extremely oppressive. Bu Qiangdong felt his scalp go numb. Could the Central Island Firm really have a problem with the boss?

He braced himself and said, "They want to make a fantasy card advertisement, but it's a little urgent. Within two days.

And they hope you'll do it yourself. "

"A fantasy card advertisement?" Chen Mu couldn't help but relax a little, since that was a little beyond what he'd expected.

He suddenly asked, "How much is the reward?"

He didn't have much spare money on him to begin with, and he'd invested it in the card making lab. He was now in a tight spot.

If the reward was good, he could consider it. He knew from Lu Xiaoru that the Central Island Firm still didn't know he was the target.

As long as his communications array and the thousand-kilometer card weren't activated, the other side wouldn't be able to detect any clues about the signal ball.

Hearing that, Bu Qiangdong relaxed a little and rushed to say, "The price shouldn't be a problem.

It should be at least five million or more, and the other side is a little urgent. They wouldn't care much if we raised the price a little.

But the time is a little tight, and it has to be completed within two days. "He hesitated and then continued," Their demands might be a little higher. "

Five million!

That price immediately got Chen Mu excited. Nearly penniless by then, he urgently needed a sum of money.

Coming from a poor background, he understood that if he didn't have money, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere and wouldn't be able to do anything.

He didn't hold out any hope for the compensation Lu Xiaoru was talking about.

"OK.

You go talk about the price and carefully list out their demands. "Having made his decision, Chen Mu didn't hesitate.
