Chapter 427 Revealed
"The directors of this group of consortia are really not fuel-efficient."
Chen Ling was still sitting there alone, and now she noticed something was wrong... Although the five major consortiums treated him with respect, no one had even mentioned a deal with him until now.
Chen Ling did not believe that these consortiums had not made an appointment behind the scenes. If so, Chen Ling guessed that they had two motives: either they were colluding with each other and wanted to use this method to lower their prices and use the cheapest prices. They bought the gold at the cost; or they didn't intend to let themselves sell the gold, thus being trapped in the prison of the main city.
No matter which one it is, it is extremely detrimental to Chen Ling... If it were any other senior brother, I am afraid that he would have fallen into this invisible and insubstantial trap just as they planned.
Unfortunately... Chen Ling is not them.
"Want to plot against me?" Chen Ling narrowed her eyes, "I want to see how strong your 'iron bucket' is."
As Chen Ling thought, an invisible python emerged from between his eyebrows and wandered around the field for a long time, as if looking for a suitable target.
Finally, Chen Ling's eyes locked on Zong Wen, who was holding a wine glass, holding an actress in one hand, and laughing happily.
[Heart Python] silently climbed up Zong Wen's body, opened his mouth, and swallowed all Zong Wen's joy. Zong Wen, who was laughing a second ago, suddenly felt boring and a little Confused, he took a sip of wine, let go of the actress, and looked for the next target again.
[△The heart python that swallowed the ‘joy’ was wandering around the venue. The guests who were immersed in joy did not know that they had become the prey of special envoy Chen Ling]
As the last performance ended, applause erupted at the dinner venue, especially Zong Wen, director of the Huadu Consortium, standing not far from Chen Ling, his hands red as he clapped.
The host walked onto the stage from the side and seemed to be about to say something, but was stopped by Mu Chunsheng. He signaled his son to push his wheelchair onto the stage, and the venue suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that Mu Chunsheng was about to take the stage, the other directors of the consortium looked a little gloomy. They had already guessed what was going to happen next.
"In order to welcome the special envoy to the main city of Hongchen, our Beidou Consortium has specially prepared a generous gift for the special envoy." Mu Chunsheng sat in a wheelchair and said in as gentle a voice as possible,
"This gift is a red sandalwood peace Buddha statue that I brought back from the South China Sea. It is a rare treasure in the world. It symbolizes that our friendship with the special envoy will last forever no matter how many winds and rains we experience."
As soon as he finished speaking, his son behind him immediately took the lead in applauding. Sporadic applause also broke out from the audience, but the other directors of the consortium had no intention of applauding at all.
It's not that they don't want to give Chen Ling a gift, but Mu Chunsheng's gift is too expensive... Things like the red sandalwood Buddha of Peace can only be found but not sought, although other consortiums can't afford it, if a statue of Peace If the Buddha statue can be exchanged for the protection of a special envoy, it will definitely be earned with blood, but the key point is that this may not be possible yet.
Several envoys came to the main city in succession, but none of them showed their willingness to cooperate with the consortium. If they spend such a large price to give gifts, if the other party does not appreciate it, they will lose everything... and they will only be forced to be seriously ill. Mu Chunsheng, who was in desperate situation, had the courage to try.
And since Mu Chunsheng gave the red sandalwood Buddha of Peace, it is almost impossible for other financial groups to give gifts more valuable than this. Instead of placing them next to the Buddha of Peace and being shown to be worthless, it is better not to give it directly and find a way from other aspects. ...This is also the reason why Zong Wen always gives his female stars to Chen Ling.
"Next, I will trouble you, the special envoy, to uncover it in person, so that everyone can have the honor to see the true face of this Peaceful Buddha."
Mu Chunsheng stood on the stage and made a "please" gesture respectfully.
He unveiled it personally at the dinner. This was what Chen Ling had specially ordered before. When Mu Chunsheng heard the news, he was undoubtedly overjoyed, because it meant that the special envoy accepted the consortium's goodwill in public, even if it was "goodwill" If it is not true, it can also be promoted by the media to build momentum for the Beidou Consortium.
Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Ling at the same time. Under these looks of expectation, displeasure, or helplessness, Chen Ling slowly stood up and walked towards the center of the stage.
As Chen Ling approached, the corners of Mu Chunsheng's mouth couldn't help but raise.
[Audience Expectation Value +3]
When the man in the black windbreaker stood side by side with Mu Chunsheng, the latter smiled and applauded, and the audience also received sparse applause. He made an invitation gesture to Chen Ling:
"Sir Envoy, please reveal it."
The ancient golden mask showed no expression at all. His eyes swept across the audience, and a playful smile flashed deep in his eyes.
[△Special envoy Chen Ling put one hand under the white cloth, as if stroking the expensive red sandalwood Buddha of Peace, but then he frowned slightly and let out a soft sigh]
"Sir Special Envoy?" Mu Chunsheng, who was closest to Chen Ling, heard Chen Ling's subtle voice and asked subconsciously in confusion.
Chen Ling didn't look at him, but stared at the huge thing in front of her. As he pulled hard, the white cloth covering the red sandalwood Buddha of Peace slipped down!
In the audience, everyone who was looking at this treasure curiously, wanting to see the true appearance of the rumored red sandalwood Buddha of Peace, opened their eyes wide at the same time...
The next moment, astonishment appeared on their faces.
"This, this is..."
"Red Sandalwood Buddha of Peace???"
Behind Mu Chunsheng, a tall and rotten dead tree was exposed to everyone's view. The mottled bark was like Mu Chunsheng's skin. It had been riddled with holes and eaten by insects and had no life at all. There were actually a few rotten ropes hanging on the crooked branches, like broken wood that had just been found in a garbage dump.
The moment they saw the "Red Sandalwood Peace Buddha" clearly, everyone present fell into a dead silence.
This strange dead silence gave Mu Chunsheng an ominous premonition. He turned around in confusion and saw the tattered and dead wood, and suddenly froze in place in astonishment.
what's the situation? ?
Where is the red sandalwood Buddha of Peace? ! What the hell is this? ! !
The flashing spotlights of reporters came on one after another in the venue. They were specially invited by Mu Chunsheng to record this historic moment, but at this moment they clearly recorded the photo of the golden envoy posing with a piece of tattered dead wood.
In this suffocating silence, the mysterious and eerie golden mask slowly turned towards Mu Chunsheng in the wheelchair...
"Beidou Consortium..."
"Is this the gift you gave me?"
Boom——! !
[△The white cloth was unveiled, and with the anger of the special envoy Chen Ling, thunder exploded]
