Lin Jichen's cell phone rang, and the caller turned out to be Captain Bao of the Tian Group.
Seeing the call, he had already guessed the other party's intention.
"Consultant Lin, we are in trouble. A very scary monster appeared on the outskirts of Jianglingdong. Because it is too close to the city, we dare not use heavy weapons. You see..."
Lin Jichen was about to go, but when he saw Gu Zihan here, he immediately wanted to be the shopkeeper.
"Okay, Captain Bao, send me a seat and I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Captain Bao quickly sent the location.
Lin Jichen forwarded it to Gu Zihan.
"What for?" Gu Zihan wondered.
"Go, take this position and help others handle something. Remember, it's best not to be exposed and do it in secret."
"I'm not full yet."
"Come back and eat, go quickly, go quickly." Lin Jichen urged.
Gu Zihan put down the chicken drumstick in his hand depressedly and muttered: "Really, just call me when you are halfway through eating. You are not allowed to eat from my family bucket. I will eat again when I come back!"
"Don't worry, I won't touch your whole family. I'll order you a pizza after it's done." Lin Jichen promised.
Gu Zihan reluctantly left.
Chu Hongling looked confused and said, "What did you ask him to deal with?"
"Oh, he can handle even a small matter."
"He is so young, don't you worry about him going out alone? What if he encounters a trafficker?"
Lin Jichen almost stopped laughing and said, "If a trafficker encounters him, he will probably suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing. Don't worry, I have a friend to pick him up. He will be back soon." Lin Jichen couldn't explain it, so he could only prevaricate.
Chu Hongling didn't ask any more questions.
While the two were chatting, thunder suddenly came from the sky.
Chu Hongling looked outside in surprise and said, "Why is there thunder on such a sunny day?"
"It's a bolt from the blue. It's a natural phenomenon. Don't worry about it."
Not long after Lin Jichen finished speaking, Captain Bao called again.
"Consultant Lin, I'm sorry, the monster has been dealt with, so your trip was in vain. You haven't arrived yet, right?"
Lin Jichen pretended: "I'm on the way, has the monster been solved?"
"Yeah, we don't know what happened, but a bolt of lightning just killed that monster, haha! What an eye-opener!" Captain Bao described excitedly.
Lin Jichen already knew it, so he pretended to say a few polite words and then hung up the phone.
Not long after, Gu Zihan returned again, climbed up on the table, and continued to eat with gusto while holding his family bucket.
Lin Jichen leaned over and asked softly: "Is it solved?"
"Of course, it's just a monster beast in the late crystallization stage. What a big deal, please don't ask me to do such an unchallenging thing next time."
"No, just think of it as your 'reward' for living here." Lin Jichen said with a smile. Gu Zihan had no choice but to accept his fate. People have to bow their heads under the eaves~
An hour later, the dinner was finally finished. Chu Hongling held her stomach with satisfaction and said goodbye to go home.
Lin Jichen also returned home with Gu Zihan.
However, as soon as he parked the car in the parking lot, he saw a luxury car parked in the parking space next to him.
Lin Jichen originally had no interest in luxury cars, but this luxury car was different because he remembered that the owner of this car was the eldest lady of the Jiang family!
"Mr. Jiang is back? It's been such a long time."
Lin Jichen sent Gu Zihan home and walked upstairs to say hello.
When he was in Kyoto, he met Jiang Luoyu once. Unfortunately, because there were too many things going on, the two of them had no time to talk and they separated again.
As a friend, after finally coming back, Lin Jichen naturally had to go and have a look.
He rang the doorbell and soon the door opened and it was Su Wanling.
"Long time no see, girlfriend." Lin Jichen greeted with a smile.
Su Wanling rolled her eyes at him, but wondered: "How did you know we were back?"
"I saw the car below and guessed that you guys are back." Lin Jichen replied.
Su Wanling looked troubled and looked back into the room.
"Invite him in." Jiang Luoyu's voice came from inside.
Su Wanling had no choice but to open the door and said, "Come in and talk."
After Lin Jichen entered the house, he found something strange that Jiang Luoyu was busy packing, and there were many luggage piled in the hall.
Lin Jichen asked curiously: "Why are there so many things? Are you moving?"
Jiang Luoyu nodded and said with some embarrassment: "Well, we came back to get some things. We originally wanted to treat you to a meal tomorrow and then leave, but I didn't expect you to find us."
"Are you leaving just after you came back?" Lin Jichen asked doubtfully.
"Yes, something happened at the company, and I may not be able to come back for a short time. I plan to sell this house after I leave." There was a sadness in Jiang Luoyu's words.
Lin Jichen smelled something different.
“Do you still need to sell your house?”
"Yeah, I'm short of money." Jiang Luoyu said half-jokingly.
"What happened?" Lin Jichen felt that Jiang Luoyu seemed to be telling the truth.
Jiang Luoyu was silent for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, our company may face bankruptcy."
"Bankrupt?" Lin Jichen's eyes widened, as if he had heard some fantasy.
Jiang Luoyu did not hide anything and explained: "Since you participated in the Kyoto meeting, you must know the current situation. Many countries have discovered that the monsters appearing in various parts of Blue Star come from the game "Bahuang"."
"The damage and casualties caused by these monsters require compensation. Once countries confirm this, they will definitely ask for explanations and compensation from our company. Therefore, I am going to sell the unnecessary assets to pay off the debt. The thing is
so."
Lin Jichen finally understood, and memories of his previous life flashed through his mind.
Not to mention, the Jiang Group was indeed bankrupt in its previous life!
It's just that this news seemed worthless under the shocking changes in the integrated world at that time, and Lin Jichen just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.
According to current trajectory, Jiang's Group will still face the fate of bankruptcy.
After all, those monsters are indeed from "Eight Desolations".
And "Bahuang" is a game of the Jiang Group, so whether it is emotional or rational, the Jiang Group must be responsible.
Even Lin Jichen was helpless. He couldn't control the fusion of the world, so naturally he couldn't control the fate of the Jiang Group.
But seeing Jiang Luoyu starting to sell off his assets, Lin Jichen still felt a little uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Jiang Luoyu comforted him and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me. Money is something external to the body. If it's gone, it's gone. Besides, if the world is integrated, no matter how much money I have, it's just useless paper."
"You can see clearly." Lin Jichen smiled bitterly.
"Then what can we do? Anyway, things are like this. Don't call me rich woman anymore. I may be much poorer than you." Jiang Luoyu teased.
