Chapter 166 Whit
"There are many people who have great misunderstandings about our company, but in fact, everything we do is to make tomorrow better and for the happiness of all people. No matter how many false accusations are made against us, we will do everything we should do."
Edward Whitt spoke freely into the microphone of the blonde reporter. There was a flood of bad reviews about the Maizi family on the Internet, and many bankrupt owners accused them of using all means to force people to break up and lose their families. But in Edward Whitt's words, these were all slanders made by competitors and defeated opponents in order to attack them. Their company was absolutely upright, kind, and clean, and there was absolutely no problem with it.
The young and wealthy man had a handsome face and eyes as clear as lake water. The blond reporter was dazzled by his smile. He ignored the sharp questions he had prepared in advance and followed Edward Whit's wishes to discuss topics that were more beneficial to the Maizi family.
There were two gentle knocks on the door, and a handsome man pushed the door open and gestured to Edward.
"I'm sorry, I have some urgent matters to attend to. But I'm already looking forward to the next time we meet." Edward lowered his voice and said ambiguously.
"Me too." The blond reporter stood up and shook Edward's hand, saying, "Thank you for accepting my interview, Mr. Whit. I will send the manuscript to your email before publication."
"Thanks."
Edward politely saw the blonde reporter out, asked his secretary to see her off, then closed the door. When he turned around, the gentle, heart-beating smile on his face had completely disappeared, and there was a hint of impatience in his expression.
"What is it, Arthur?"
The handsome man, Arthur Wright, Edward's cousin, and also his most trusted assistant and partner who had fought together till now, said solemnly: "Crest took his men to the Sugar Country."
"That old dog!" Edward said sarcastically, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "What? They still believe in that old man's fantasy? A book? A book that can help them get anything? It's more realistic to believe in the devil's contract!"
"It's not completely without factual basis. The old man once said that he saw it with his own eyes, and some ancient documents purchased from the Sugar Kingdom also have records that allude to the book." Arthur stated the facts and said with a little worry: "I'm worried that if they really find something like that, it might be harmful to you."
Edward said disapprovingly, "It's just the fantasy of fools. The book about God is all over the world, but have you ever seen him exist? Old guy Kleist has gone crazy because of his loss of power, and he even regards non-existent things as the last straw."
"So... let them be?" said Arthur.
"No matter what they want to do, just don't involve us. The Sugar Country is more dangerous than it looks. I want to enter this huge market instead of provoking such an enemy." Edward said, "Compared to this, do you have any clues about the guy who is against us?"
Arthur shook his head and said, "I don't know any more than you do. I even doubt whether such a person exists. An invisible opponent who is always against us? Edward, I didn't know there was a guy in this world that our family could not find any clues about even with all their efforts."
"But he definitely exists!" Edward gritted his teeth and said, "The newly appointed CEO of the European region is in jail again. Damn it, that guy hasn't been caught with any evidence for decades, how could the evidence fall into the hands of others so easily? There is also a dock built by a branch company that has just been exposed for engineering quality problems, and the gold mine collapse accident in Iron Country is now known to the media... Do you believe these are all coincidences? There is definitely someone targeting us! Find him, I will make him regret being born into this world!"
…
"You know what?" Rong Yuan took off his headphones and said to Wandou beside him, "I particularly like materialists now."
Pea asked: "Should we inform Noah to stop attacking the Wheat Family?"
Rong Yuan had given the order to attack the Maizi family a long time ago, but the optical computer was not efficient because it had poor analytical ability and could only see superficial things. But Noah was different. He was very intelligent and could often analyze important content from a large amount of seemingly unrelated information - for example, someone bought a shovel in a store, and bought plastic sheeting, disinfectant and other things in another store. A month later, his wife was said to have visited relatives but there was no record of buying a ticket. A few days later, this person bought fertilizer and lawn, and the garden at home changed slightly. The optical computer would classify all of this as invalid information, but Noah could analyze and calculate the most likely event.
Therefore, the previous attacks on the Maizi family were all small-scale. It was not until Noah took over that he spent some time planning and made the people of the Whitt family deeply understand what it meant to be surrounded by enemies and be unable to defend against them.
Wandou thought that since the people in power of the Maizi family actually had no idea about the Merit Book, there was no reason to attack them, and this matter could be stopped. But Rongyuan shook his head and said, "No, continue."
"Why?" asked Pea.
"First, they know about the existence of the Merit Book. Even if they don't have any ideas now, it doesn't mean they won't have any ideas in the future. Such powerful people often dare to try any method when they lose power or reach the end of their lives, so they are always a hidden danger." Rong Yuan said: "Second, does what we do now deduct merit points?"
The pea thought about it and realized that although it had caused great losses to the wheat family, it actually exposed their existing problems or family members' crimes. Not only did it not deduct any merit points, but it also earned some money. So it said, "No."
"That's enough. Bringing them down will benefit me and society, so why stop?" Rong Yuan paused and said, "What's more, it's hard to bring down the big fish with these means. But as long as we can reduce their power as much as possible and prevent them from posing a threat to us, that's enough."
"I see. So are we going to look for Crest Whitt now?"
"Well, tell Noah to find him for me."
…
On the green tree-lined avenue, a girl with long hair and a white dress walked by, holding a few books. The breeze blew through the corners of her hair and skirt, and the skin on her small face was so white that it seemed transparent. Several boys passing by were stunned. One of them bumped into a lamppost while walking, and he was reluctant to look away even though his forehead was turning blue .
Shao Baoer was holding a lollipop, wearing a side ponytail, and a silver chain shaped like a skull around her neck. With her baby face that never grew up, she looked a little cute. She sat on a bench under the wisteria trellis in the botanical garden, watching the visual effects of Xiao Xiao walking along the way, and a big boy who rode a bicycle into a tree pit and got a bloody head, and sighed and said, "Miss, aren't you going to restrain yourself? My disguise skills are very good."
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Life is so short, what's the point of hiding all the time? I was born like this and there's nothing shameful about it, so why should I cover my face because of other people's eyes?" She gently stroked away the branches that were blocking the chair and then sat down.
Shao Baoer was helpless. She wasn't making a serious suggestion anyway, so she shrugged and said, "Okay, as long as you're happy."
Xiao Xiao put the book on her lap and asked, "Come to think of it, how did you get in? I remember the school's guards shouldn't allow people from outside the school to enter, right?"
Shao Baoer said: "The security guard thought I was a student of the school so he let me in. I didn't use any tricks."
——If the so-called means did not include the fact that she dressed herself to look ten years younger.
Xiao Xiao actually knew it all. She pursed her lips and chuckled, with understanding in her eyes.
"Where is Mr. Yan?" Shao Baoer looked around and said, "We thought he was always with you."
"He's here." Xiao Xiao said, "It's just that it's not convenient for him to be with me at school, but he's always there."
"That's not bad." Shao Baoer breathed a sigh of relief and complained slightly, "I thought you went to high school just to observe that guy, but why did you get into college now? It's inconvenient for us to show up. What if we encounter danger? Besides, you're not in good health now. Didn't the doctor say last time that you need to stay in bed and rest?"
"The doctor's words are not an imperial decree." Xiao Xiao said disapprovingly: "Besides, I have never been to such a school. I have always heard that it is very interesting. Wouldn't it be great if I had the opportunity to experience it myself?"
"A bunch of middle school students wasting their time, do you find it interesting?" Shao Baoer rolled her eyes at a boy who was standing under a flower tree not far away, leaning at a 45-degree angle to be caressed by the sun. She had long noticed that this guy was trying to attract their attention by making all kinds of coquettish gestures.
"It's very interesting...it's the best place I've ever been to in my life." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
There are many cats and dogs on this campus that are often fed by students and have become bold and foolish. A white cat covered in dirt and grass tentatively approached Xiaoxiao, meowing and acting coquettishly.
Xiaoxiao held it on her lap, took out a small sausage like a magic trick, tore open the casing, watched the white cat eat it in small bites in her palm, and with her other hand slowly picked off the leaves behind it.
Shao Baoer's eyes dimmed. From Xiao Xiao's actions, she could feel something she hadn't felt before, such as the resoluteness she once had almost disappeared from her, replaced by a deep attachment and love for weak lives and some beautiful things. And people often cherish life more when they are about to reach the end of their lives.
Many things had already been revealed, but they just couldn't bear to ask or say them. Xiao had rescued her from the fire pit, raised her, and given her the best training resources. She hadn't had time to repay all the kindness, but now it seemed that all she could do was accompany her.
Shao Baoer looked at them for a while and said, "Some people from the Maizi family have come to S City. According to reliable sources, they have spies in S City University. Uncle Geng's message is that you'd better take a leave and go back home for the time being. Otherwise, we can't protect you from such a long distance."
"Yan Ce is by my side!" Xiao Xiao said, "And I know about this. The leader is Crest. That guy is brave but not wise. I think we shouldn't passively take a beating. Let's set a trap to lure them out."
