Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Novel - Chapter 134
Chapter 134: Top Star
Everyone got startled and turned to see who it was.
Li Hanchen stood like a cool imposing god at the conference room entrance. He looked at the people in the room with his cool, deep eyes as he gave off a powerful aura.
Shen Lin looked happy to see Li Hanchen. He stood up and walked up to Li Hanchen and greeted reverently, “Hi, Mr. Li.”
Li Hanchen sat on the seat right in the front before glancing around the conference room. An intense atmosphere instantly swept throughout the room.
The gray-haired old man cleared his throat before he broke the silence. “Well, this is quite a surprise. When did you arrive at Continent M, Mr. Li? I wasn’t expecting you.”
“I heard you shouting earlier. What did you want?” Li Hanchen looked at the old man sitting on the left.
Yang Cheng laughed forcibly. “You see, I heard about a new mine in Continent F. I heard that it is in a remote and difficult location. How could we trouble Mr. Shen to go all the way there? Since I happened to be focusing on business in Continent F, I wanted to help out and take over.”
Shen Lin stood behind Li Hanchen and couldn’t help rolling his eyes. This guy did not get to the crux of the matter.
It was no ordinary mine. It was a globally highly sought-after uranium mine. Uranium was a key ingredient for producing high-quality weapons. The profits involved were massive.
After the word got out, these old buffoons from Golden Group started to vie for it.
Everyone in the meeting room went quiet after Yang Cheng had said his piece as they waited for Li Hanchen to say something.
Yang Cheng looked at Li Hanchen’s cool profile. This was strange. According to the intel, Li Hanchen was on the brink of death. A month ago when he left Continent M, he already looked pretty sick.
Li Hanchen had already left for a month. Why was he starting to look better than before? Was there something wrong with the intel?
Just as everyone speculated in shock, Li Hanchen said, “The environment in Continent F is genuinely harsh.”
“That’s right.” The moment Yang Cheng heard what Li Hanchen said, he assumed Li Hanchen might be having a change of heart. “The mine should…”
Before Yang Cheng could finish his sentence, Li Hanchen interrupted him. He looked at Yang Cheng with his deep eyes, and an oppressive aura came crashing down on Yang Cheng. His voice sounded utterly cold as he spoke.
“You can come home.”
“Mr. Li, what do you mean?” Yang Cheng looked surprised.
“Exactly what you think.” Li Hanchen did not go on talking. Shen Lin smiled smugly at Yang Cheng. “Mr. Yang, congratulations on your retirement.”
Yang Cheng looked at Li Hanchen anxiously. Since Li Hanchen did not react, Yang Cheng realized what he was driving at. He instantly slammed the table. “Don’t push it, Li Hanchen. Don’t forget I am an elder of the Intercontinental Alliance! Even if you want to touch me, you should think twice!”
The moment he finished his sentence, he looked at the rest of the people in the meeting room. The people who kept chiming in earlier now kept their heads lowered quietly. They acted as though this had nothing to do with them, and Yang Cheng felt disappointed.
Li Hanchen glanced at Yang Cheng. It made Yang Cheng feel as though Li Hanchen was looking at a mere ant. “I have only gone for a month. Has your memory already gotten that bad? Have I ever lied about anything?”
The moment Li Hanchen finished his sentence, Yang Cheng’s composure collapsed completely.
Li Hanchen was right, he always meant what he said. He had managed to accomplish everything he set his heart to. All these years, a lot of people had wanted to pull Li Hanchen off the top spot, but the competition ended up being taken out by Li Hanchen.
He shouldn’t have gotten greedy because he thought Li Hanchen was sick. Also, he shouldn’t have let down his guard on Li Hanchen after he left.
“Mr. Li, that is not what I mean.” Yang Cheng lost all composure. He shouldn’t have rushed into things thinking that there was no one around to lead after Li Hanchen left Continent M.
Li Hanchen stopped looking at him. Instead, he glanced at the other people in the conference room. “Any objections?”
The other people smiled as they said, “Mr. Li, of course, it’s fine. We have no objections.”
Was he joking? Yang Cheng was a pioneer of the Intercontinental Alliance, so he had a lot of power in Continent F. However, it did not stop Li Hanchen from publicly removing him. If any of them continued to oppose Li Hanchen, it would be suicidal.
“You!” Yang Cheng glared at them. “Before we came for the meeting, you instigated me to take over the mine!”
“Yang Cheng, how could you say that?”
“Yang Cheng, please watch your words. You know full well we would never have done that.”
…..
Li Hanchen left the conference room with Shen Lin and Qin Kai following behind him while they argued in the conference room.
“Boss, the uranium mine in Continent F has high capacity, so we stand to gain a lot of profit from it. Shall we start mining it?” Shen Lin reported the situation to Li Hanchen.
“Just leave it for now.” Li Hanchen took out his phone and checked the time as he walked. Mu Sheng ought to be doing a live telecast at this hour of the day.
“Boss, other than this little incident with Yang Cheng, something big has happened. I need you to join the meeting.” Shen Lin handed some documents to Li Hanchen. “It is very important and involves the leaders of our country.”
Li Hanchen took the document and flipped through it. “Lead the way.”
“Okay.”
After one month, Li Hanchen finally came back to Continent M. On his way to the meeting, Shen Lin showed him documents and asked for Li Hanchen’s opinion.
Back home, it was already 9:30 pm. Even though it was getting late, the channel was full of viewers.
[Wow. Isn’t he that cheat? Why is he still doing live telecasts? The platform wants users so badly that they will resort to anything.]
[Please leave if you are an anti-fan. The game developer confirmed that he did not cheat. Are you blind? Didn’t you see the official announcement?]
[I am speechless. God Mu, keep up the good work and just ignore the anti-fans.]
Mu Sheng quietly streamed without paying much attention to their comments. However, her eyes glinted when she saw a notification informing everyone that Chen was in Jiang Rou’er’s channel giving her Endless Stars
The rest of the viewers in the channel naturally saw it as well.
Last night, some of the viewers comforted Mu Sheng that her number one fan was only temporarily away. However, two days had passed, and his avatar remained gray and inactive.
Everyone finally felt that Chen had genuinely left Mu and threw himself into Jiang Rou’er’s open arms.
Time went five minute by minute. It was still ten minutes before 10:00 pm when the viewers suddenly got excited.
[Oh my. I suddenly remembered. Isn’t the closing date for the Top Star coming? From the looks of it, Jiang Rou’er will come in champion.]
[That’s too bad. If Mu’s number one fan didn’t leave, he is bound to become the Top Star. Jiang Rou’er is absolutely devious. She must be using him to win. Isn’t it despicable?]
[Sure enough, you are just like Mu. Mu is trash, and you are equally shameless. Is it any of your business who the dude chooses to follow? What’s wrong if he prefers Jiang Rou’er? Do you have a problem? If you have a problem, then give him more gifts.]
In order to boost their popularity, Cat Live occasionally organized events. During this time, they were holding a Top Star competition.
The winner of the contest would stand to win recommendations from the depository and other resources.
Cat Live would calculate each live telecaster’s Star Factor based on their popularity and gifts. Before Mu Sheng started to do live telecasts, Jiang Rou’er was always the winner.
Ever since Mu Sheng started to do live telecasts, her Star Factor soared sky-high thanks to C and had surpassed Jiang Rou’er.
Just as Mu Sheng was about to become champion, her fan left her for Jiang Rou’er. Now, Mu Sheng was still a little behind with her Star Factor.
Even though everyone wanted to help her, Jiang Rou’er was a seasoned live telecaster, so she had a loyal and generous fanbase, and it was impossible to outdo her.
There were only five more minutes on the clock before the cut-off time for the contest. Mu Sheng’s fans were resigned to her loss.
From the looks of it, Jiang Rou’er was going to become Top Star this time.
