The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao waited three minutes before Gong Jianliang arrived.

"Mr. Gong, long time no see." Tang Rao greeted Gong Jianliang to sit down, a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Tang Rao's beaming face, Gong Jianliang felt even more at ease. It seemed that Tang Rao was probably unaware of the connections between the domain outsiders and Giant Merchant Star.

"Yes, Mr. Tang Rao, we are friends after all, and you haven't come to visit me. To be honest, Fei'er and I should thank you, if it weren't for you bringing Illusion City, we couldn't possibly have achieved our current status." Gong Jianliang spoke sincerely.

He and Ling Feier indeed benefitted from Tang Rao.

"Mr. Gong, you are too kind. After all, it's also because of your own capabilities." Tang Rao chuckled.

"By the way, Mr. Tang, Fei'er mentioned that you wanted to discuss some business with me?" Gong Jianliang asked.

"Yes, there are some matters to discuss." Tang Rao nodded, "This matter is as important as when I first brought Illusion City, and it holds unusual significance for Giant Merchant Star."

Gong Jianliang's eyes lit up. Could Tang Rao have brought another super effective money-making tool? Honestly, the money Giant Merchant Star has made from Illusion City over this period has been terrifying.

"Mr. Tang, please go ahead." Gong Jianliang immediately spoke, his face smiling.

"I intend to dismantle all existing network emitters. Because I have developed a second generation network emitter, and thus, our cooperation with Giant Merchant Star will also cease." Tang Rao said indifferently, his gaze coldly fixed on Gong Jianliang.

Gong Jianliang's smile instantly froze.

What? End the cooperation? This…

"How about that, isn't this matter of unusual significance for Giant Merchant Star?" Tang Rao squinted at Gong Jianliang.

"Mr. Tang, this... this..." Gong Jianliang didn't know what to say.

The reason Illusion City shared profits with Giant Merchant Star was because Giant Merchant Star had deployed many Cultivators to protect the network emitters. Now Tang Rao was saying he had developed a second generation and was going to dismantle the old ones. That meant his network emitters no longer needed the protection from Giant Merchant Star. With Giant Merchant Star no longer making contributions, naturally, they would also lose their returns.

Gong Jianliang could not refute.

"I can't help it, technology is advancing, and the network emitters I control no longer need the protection from Giant Merchant Star. So, it's inevitable, I can't just give money to Giant Merchant Star for no reason, right?" Tang Rao said.

Gong Jianliang was still silent; Tang Rao was not wrong.

"But..." A few minutes later, Gong Jianliang suddenly raised his head, "Mr. Tang Rao, have you considered, if Giant Merchant Star loses this benefit, it might cause dissatisfaction among some high-level executives, and by then, they might turn against you and take actions disadvantageous to you?"

Tang Rao looked at Gong Jianliang, his mouth slightly curving.

"Even if I gave you guys a share, your high-level executives still don't want to be friends with me." Tang Rao said smiling.

Gong Jianliang's face suddenly changed, what did Tang Rao mean by that? Had he found out?

"Mr. Tang, I just remembered, I have an urgent matter. Please stay here, I need to step out for a moment." Gong Jianliang prepared to get up.

"If you dare take a step, I guarantee you'll be carrying this blame. I think, your Giant Merchant Star's high-level executives would also be very pleased to see this outcome." Tang Rao stated.

Gong Jianliang didn't move, Tang Rao really knew.

"Fei Er, you go ahead, I need to discuss some matters with Mr. Tang Rao." Gong Jianliang looked at Ling Feier.

"Mr. Gong, the boss didn't let me leave, I can't go." Ling Feier said with a smile.

What!

It turns out that Ling Feier has already become Tang Rao's person.

"Give you two choices, first: take the blame; second: make the same choice as Fei Er." Tang Rao shrugged. Gong Jianliang and Ling Feier must be won over.

Both of them are talented and hold important positions on Giant Merchant Star, which is very important for future plans.

"Boss, can't you threaten others with some new tricks?" Ling Feier muttered, Tang Rao had just used this method on her.

"It's not about being new, but being effective. From now on, follow me, and learn a lot, I guarantee you can also become a little trap king. But reaching my level, probably not possible. Unfortunately, I have great innate conditions... Yep, that's what you call a genius, hahaha!" Tang Rao boasted.

"Shameless." Ling Feier rolled her eyes at Tang Rao.

"Tsk..." Tang Rao arrogantly lifted his head, looking at Gong Jianliang, "Mr. Gong, make a choice quickly."

"Do I only have one choice now?" Gong Jianliang suddenly asked.

"Yes, you already know Fei Er has sided with me. Thus, you can only choose to follow me by swearing an oath to Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, to prevent Fei Er from being exposed, I would have to eliminate you." Tang Rao nodded and said.

Gong Jianliang: "..."

No other choice...

Gong Jianliang surrendered, compared to dying, following Tang Rao actually wasn't too bad.

Moreover, following Tang Rao wouldn't be worse than being loyal to Giant Merchant Star.

Tang Rao owns Illusion City. Within a foreseeable range, given enough time, the Spirit Stone resources Tang Rao owns will definitely surpass Giant Merchant Star.

Illusion City is still in its nascent developing stage, it's hard to imagine how much Spirit Stone it can make once it's fully matured.

…

With Gong Jianliang and Ling Feier recruited, Tang Rao's first step was also completed.

"Alright, to celebrate your conversion, we'll order a few more bottles of good wine." Tang Rao shouted and snapped his fingers to call over the servant, "Bring us two jugs of good wine, oh, put the tab on Mr. Gong's account."

"Got it!" The servant certainly recognized Gong Jianliang, a big figure from Giant Merchant Star.

Gong Jianliang: "..."

Tang Rao, you really are shameless.

"Boss, your visit this time, it's not just to recruit me and Mr. Gong, right?" After a few rounds of drinking, Ling Feier asked, her cheeks flushed red, looking particularly attractive.

"Of course not, the higher-ups of Giant Merchant Star have dispatched so many extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons here, though just as a probe. But for me, this is a signal of hostility. I'm someone who always reciprocates both grudges and enmity. Since the high echelon of Giant Merchant Star isn't being reasonable, I don't have to be polite either, it's only fight deserving a response." Tang Rao said with a smile.

"Boss, do you have a plan?" Ling Feier continued to ask.

"Liang Liang, what do you think I should do?" Tang Rao looked at Gong Jianliang.

Gong Jianliang and Ling Feier both rolled their eyes, Liang Liang… aren't you disgusted by such cheesiness.

"I still don't advise immediately stopping sharing profits with Giant Merchant Star, doing so would directly create opposition and would not have an insidious effect." Gong Jianliang said.
