Chapter 211: Business Queen
Lin Chen's words invigorated everyone present, as historical reasons had led them all to harbor an aversion to the Island Nation.
"Good, Mr. Lin puts the greater good of the nation first, which is admirable!"
"Mr. Lin truly is a fine man of China!"
"We all support Mr. Lin."
There was a continuous stream of cheers in the hall, while Tian Zhong's face turned a ferrous hue, his malicious gaze fixating tightly on Lin Chen.
"You little brat, you actually dare to openly defy our organization, you're as good as dead, dead for sure."
Tian Zhong had not expected that even with such tempting terms, Lin Chen would still refuse, and he spoke coldly with resentment in his heart.
This time Tian Zhong returned to China full of grand ambitions.
Having ten top experts at his disposal gave him full confidence for this return, even making him somewhat arrogant.
These ten top experts would constitute a terrifying lineup in any country, capable of sending shivers down the spine of any force.
He had a beautiful plan, to kill Lin Chen first and then establish his own kingdom in China, but the reality in front of him now terrified him to death.
The ten top experts had all been instantly killed by Lin Chen, an event that he deemed impossible, yet it happened right before his eyes.
This guy was simply not human, but a devil. Now he somewhat regretted returning to China, regretted provoking Lin Chen, this demon, once again.
With a smile on his face, Lin Chen slowly walked toward Tian Zhong. To Tian Zhong, this smile was like that of the Grim Reaper, causing his soul to shatter.
"Lin Chen, I am a businessman from the Island Nation, you can't hurt me, otherwise our organization will not let you off!" Tian Zhong struggled to say.
"Is that so? For every one of you damn organization that comes, I'll kill one, and for every pair, I'll kill both. China is hardly a place for you bastards to run wild," Lin Chen said with a hint of a cold smile, speaking in a chilling voice.
As Lin Chen came closer and closer, Tian Zhong felt his breathing become rapid, and he became wet below the belt; at this moment, he was finally afraid.
"Mr. Lin, I was wrong. Let me go, and I will never dare to set foot on Chinese soil again," pleaded Tian Zhong as he knelt on the ground with a flop.
Just moments ago, Tian Zhong was full of arrogance, proclaiming himself to be the chairman of the China cosmetics alliance, but now he was groveling on the ground, crying and sniveling, begging Lin Chen for mercy.
The people in the hall were shocked by the sight of the young man before them. His dominance, arrogance, and true patriotic spirit moved everyone present.
Just then, a whistling sound came from behind Lin Chen, who abruptly stopped in his tracks. Lin Chen frowned, sidestepping as a bullet grazed his cheek and directly hit Tian Zhong between the eyebrows.
"Damn it!"
The recently pleading Tian Zhong flopped to the ground, instantly lifeless.
Lin Chen turned to look at the building opposite, where a dark figure had disappeared into the night.
"Bastard!"
Lin Chen sighed as he looked at Tian Zhong's corpse on the ground; he had intended to catch someone alive to hand over to the Dragon Group for interrogation. He hadn't anticipated that in a moment of carelessness, Tian Zhong would be killed.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens approached, and a group of officers rushed in.
Seeing the bloody scene in the hall, Deputy Chief Tian Gang was shocked. This was a major case!
"Who killed these people?" Deputy Chief Tian Gang said in a cold voice.
Lin Chen stepped forward, "Me!"
Tian Gang was briefly stunned, "You killed all these people?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I killed them all."
Watching Lin Chen's indifferent expression, Tian Gang couldn't help but be stunned. He had killed so many people, yet he didn't run away. Instead, he waited for the police, and from his expression, it seemed as if he had killed nothing more significant than a few cats and dogs. This guy was too arrogant.
Lin Chen put his hand into his bosom, and Tian Gang was shocked, hurriedly placing his hand on his gun: "What are you doing?"
Seeing the nervousness of the police, Lin Chen smiled and tossed a badge in front of Tian Gang.
After all, he was a police officer from Capital City, experienced and knowledgeable. Seeing the badge, his expression changed.
"You are?" Tian Gang looked at the badge and then at Lin Chen.
He had dealt with Dragon Group personnel before, but the person in front of him was so young, and his position was even that of a Dragon Group consultant.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, may I verify your identity?" Tian Gang asked politely.
Lin Chen nodded, and Tian Gang made a call.
Soon, the information came back from the other end, and when Tian Gang heard the order from the Chief of Public Security, his face couldn't help but change.
After hanging up the phone, Tian Gang gave Lin Chen a respectful bow: "Mr. Lin, according to the orders from above, we will completely follow your command. Please give your orders!"
The hall fell silent once again. Tian Gang was the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, yet he was following Lin Chen's command. What kind of background did this young man have?
Lin Chen sighed: "They are all dead. Clean up the scene, and as for the bodies, you should hand them over to the Dragon Group. Let them investigate the identities, and also, there is a sniper in the building across. Investigate and see if you can track down his whereabouts."
"Yes!" Tian Gang saluted Lin Chen and immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up the scene.
In less than ten minutes, the scene had been cleaned up completely, and all the police had withdrawn.
The hall was silent; the events that had just taken place were too shocking, and everyone looked at Lin Chen with awe.
Although Lin Chen looked young and green, everyone was clear that this young man was unfathomable.
Lin Chen smiled and broke the silence at the scene: "Now that the black sheep has been removed, we can continue with the meeting's agenda."
"I propose Mr. Lin to serve as the chairman of the Huaxia Cosmetics Alliance. Do you have any objections?" Jin Mingzhu said with a beaming smile.
"No objections, I agree!"
"I also agree. Mr. Lin is honorable and highly esteemed, the perfect choice."
A chorus of agreements echoed within the hall. The strength and background displayed by Lin Chen were too astonishing; no one dared to object.
Lin Chen shook his head: "Although I am the president of Starlight Group, all company affairs are handled by Miss Xue Ying. This position should be given to her!"
Even though many people didn't recognize Xue Ying, no one dared to oppose what Lin Chen said.
"Since it is Mr. Lin's suggestion, we completely agree." Jin Mingzhu led the applause.
"We agree as well." Applause rose from below the stage.
Xue Ying, somewhat dazed, watched Lin Chen. She remembered he had once said that he would make her the business queen of Huaxia. At that time, she had just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Xue Ying had never imagined that Lin Chen would fulfill his promise so quickly.
"Silly girl, it's your turn to take the stage." Lin Chen patted Xue Ying's shoulder and smiled.
Under everyone's gaze, Xue Ying gracefully stepped onto the stage.
Scattered applause started from below, and everyone carefully examined the dignified and elegant beauty on the stage. However, many people looked disdainful, believing her to be no more than a figurehead.
But what no one anticipated was that Xue Ying's speech would become a turning point in the cosmetics world. Its influence would spread across the world and even be included in textbooks.
