The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Tang Yumeng descended from Huangshan and took the earliest flight back to Jiangbei City.

Upon returning to Jiangbei City, Tang Yumeng went home to settle the two little ones before immediately contacting Zhou Kai.

When Zhou Kai heard that Tang Yumeng had returned, he quickly drove to Tang Yumeng's home and took her to the Sichuan University Group.

In Zhou Kai's office, Zhou Kai said to Tang Yumeng, "Secretary Tang, a lot has happened at the Sichuan University Group recently. I won't hide it from you; I am also being coerced by someone."

Before Tang Yumeng arrived, Zhou Kai had already informed her of the general situation. Now she furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Zhou Kai, from these signs, it seems like the opponent is very well-prepared, aiming to take over the Sichuan University Group in one fell swoop."

Zhou Kai nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too. Secretary Tang, you see, Li Qiang and Lu Dapao are already dead, Zhou Rui is unwell, and I've gotten into so much trouble. I want you to take over Sichuan University."

Tang Yumeng was slightly taken aback and said, "Zhou Kai, don't call me Secretary Tang. I'm now free from official duties, and what you're suggesting is absolutely not feasible. How can I take over Sichuan University?"

Zhou Kai said, "Secretary Tang, you're Lin Chuan's fiancée; from any perspective, you're the most suitable candidate. I've also thought it over; Li Qiang and Dapao have no other relatives. I will have their shares transferred to you through legal procedures, and I will also resign from all my positions at Sichuan University, and transfer my shares in the Sichuan University Group to you."

"This is absolutely unacceptable." Tang Yumeng firmly rejected Zhou Kai's suggestions, saying, "Zhou Kai, Sichuan University Group is something Lin Chuan and you brothers worked hard to build, I absolutely cannot..."

Before Tang Yumeng could finish, Zhou Kai interrupted, "Secretary Tang, listen to me, the Sichuan University Group has grown to what it is today, affecting the livelihoods of thousands of people. I think you wouldn't want to see these people lose their jobs, right?"

Tang Yumeng fell silent. Yes, Sichuan University Group is a publicly listed company with several thousand employees.

After a long silence, Tang Yumeng eventually nodded and said, "Alright, Zhou Kai, I agree, but I absolutely cannot accept your shares."

Zhou Kai knew that Tang Yumeng would follow through on her promise, so he didn't persist further. He immediately had his assistant notify all shareholders of Sichuan University to convene a shareholders' meeting.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, shareholders steadily arrived at Sichuan University Group's conference room.

Sichuan University Group's shareholders originally consisted of Lin Chuan, Zhou Rui, Zhou Kai, Huang Bo, Li Qiang, Lu Dapao, and others. But since Li Qiang and Lu Dapao are dead, and Huang Bo went to the Middle East, it provided the small shareholders the opportunity to step up.

Zhou Rui, heavily pregnant, sat at the head position. Before arriving, Zhou Kai had already explained the situation to her.

As the Executive Chairwoman of Sichuan University Group, Zhou Rui was shocked by the recent developments within the group and felt the gravity of the situation. Due to her physical condition, she couldn't manage the work herself and naturally needed to find someone with strong capabilities to succeed her role.

Tang Yumeng was previously the Secretary of Jiangbei City, her capabilities are unquestionable, and notably, she is Lin Chuan's intended fiancée; hence Zhou Rui readily agreed.

Publicly traded companies have a complete set of procedures for changing directors. As the shareholders' meeting commenced, Zhou Kai was the first to speak, saying, "All shareholders present, since becoming the Group's Vice President, I have not contributed significantly to the Group's development. I sincerely feel I am limited in ability, so I will resign from all positions in the Group."

The small shareholders present were unaware of what had transpired within the Group, but upon hearing Zhou Kai's words, they began whispering among themselves.

Then Zhou Kai said, "Following the procedure of the board, I now formally submit my resignation to the board and hope all shareholders will approve my resignation."

As the former Secretary of Jiangbei City, the small shareholders naturally recognized Tang Yumeng. Seeing Tang Yumeng sitting next to Zhou Kai enlightened them that Tang Yumeng is likely to succeed Zhou Kai.

Lin Chuan's relationship with Tang Yumeng is basically no longer a secret, so the small shareholders are naturally happy for Tang Yumeng to succeed Zhou Kai. The next procedure involves all shareholders raising their hands for a vote to see if Zhou Kai's resignation will be approved.

Before the small shareholders could vote, Zhou Rui said, "I want to remind all shareholders present, Comrade Zhou Kai is not resigning due to work ability issues. There are unavoidable reasons for his resignation. I hope shareholders will refrain from spreading rumors."

Zhou Rui's words unequivocally indicate to these small shareholders that for the sake of Sichuan University Group, they should not conjecture carelessly about Zhou Kai's resignation.

People are like that; they enjoy speculating about unknown things, which gradually leads to rumors.

The result of the voting was naturally that all small shareholders agreed to Zhou Kai's resignation. Then Zhou Kai said, "Next, I propose Comrade Tang Yumeng to succeed me in my work. I believe everyone is aware of Comrade Tang Yumeng's background and skills."

Zhou Kai's words implied two things: firstly, expressing that Tang Yumeng was the former Secretary of Jiangbei City, and secondly, emphasizing that Tang Yumeng is practically Lin Chuan's wife, so everyone should keep their eyes open.

Actually, Zhou Kai's remarks were somewhat redundant, even if Tang Yumeng didn't have the Lin Chuan connection, based on her capability alone, all the small shareholders would agree to her appointment.

With all the small shareholders' votes, Tang Yumeng formally succeeded Zhou Kai, becoming the Chief Executive Officer of Sichuan University Group, second only to Zhou Rui.

After the board meeting concluded, Zhou Kai called Zhou Rui and Tang Yumeng over to his office.

"Secretary Tang, Sichuan University is now in your hands, I must head to Fukuoka, Japan immediately." Once seated, Zhou Kai said while looking at Tang Yumeng.

Regarding the deaths of Li Qiang and Lu Dapao, Tang Yumeng was mostly aware. She looked at Zhou Kai with some concern and said, "Zhou Kai, we don't even know the identity of our opposition; you need to be careful once you're there."

Zhou Kai smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Tang, thank you for your concern, I will be cautious."

Tang Yumeng considered for a moment and said, "Zhou Kai, how about I call a few friends over to assist you?"

Before Zhou Kai could respond, Zhou Rui said from the side, "Kai, listen to Secretary Tang, let her friends come to help you."

Zhou Kai thought for a moment, suddenly recalling that when in Washington, United States, two women had been with Tang Yumeng, and those two women seemed to be particularly capable.

That's right, Tang Yumeng is looking for these two women, who are the leaders of the Fire Fox Organization, Silver Fox and Blue Fox.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Kai nodded to Tang Yumeng and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you, Secretary Tang."

Tang Yumeng said, "Good, I'll contact them now."

After speaking, she turned and left Zhou Kai's office.

After Tang Yumeng left, Zhou Rui looked at Zhou Kai and said, "Kai, you must be careful after you go. I don't want you to have any more problems."

Zhou Kai laughed and said, "Don't worry about me. You should take care of yourself. If anything happens, just call Yilin and Xiao Feng."

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "I know. Sigh, so much has happened, and who knows where that bastard Lin Chuan is."

Yes, it's been a long time since Zhou Rui saw any sign of Lin Chuan.

While Zhou Rui was missing Lin Chuan, he was busy assembling a large group of people in another era.

Among them, Luo Tian brought around a hundred people from Luo Village, Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei led nearly three to four hundred people from their gang, along with Murong Xue, Mu Qiu, Lan Feng, and several hundred more from the Bright Moon Palace, adding up to thousands.

Among these people, except for those from the Bright Moon Palace, almost everyone received favors from Lin Chuan.

Zhang Wenhui hasn't been with Lin Chuan lately because he's been searching for the whereabouts of the Ghost Gate.

The power of the Ghost Master is undeniably strong. Zhang Wenhui got involved in this era after a battle with the Ghost Master at the Haiqing Pool for certain reasons.

Firstly, in this era, the Ghost Master hasn't reached the underworld. If he's destroyed, the history of the underworld will change.

As the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha King, Zhang Wenhui has an unresolvable feud with the Ghost Master. He naturally doesn't want the Ghost Master to stand against him in the underworld.

Another reason is that Zhang Wenhui doesn't want to bring the war to the underworld. If the Ghost Master's fate ends in this era, the war in the underworld can be avoided.

The main reason is that when Ksitigarbha King left the underworld to undergo tribulations in the human world, his original form remained here, which is within the Ghost Gate.

Once he finds the original form, Zhang Wenhui's reincarnation can completely return to the identity of Ksitigarbha King.

Currently, the power of the Ghost Gate is immense; Zhang Wenhui and Lin Chuan alone are not enough to handle it. That's why Zhang Wenhui let Lin Chuan venture out alone here, intending for Lin Chuan to build his own force.

Zhang Wenhui knows well that with Lin Chuan's capabilities, he can easily establish a large force in this era.

The people Lin Chuan helped have never met Zhang Wenhui, so they naturally wouldn't follow his orders. Zhang Wenhui knew this, so he directly let Lin Chuan lead these people towards the Ghost Gate in a mighty manner.

Murong Xue bears a striking resemblance to Xiao Xue, Tang Yumeng's former assistant. When Zhang Wenhui first saw Murong Xue, he thought Xiao Xue had come back to life.

Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei have already set their hearts on Lin Chuan, and so has Murong Xue. Along the way, the three women vied to show devotion to Lin Chuan, leaving him quite embarrassed.

While Lin Chuan was leading the mighty force towards the Ghost Gate, he hadn't expected that in the Middle East, Huang Bo was undergoing a life-and-death ordeal.

The Middle East mentioned here refers to Iraq.

Since the upheaval in Iraq, although order was restored with the help of the United States, rebellious forces continued to rampage, leaving society in turmoil.

A while ago, Lin Chuan led a group of American soldiers to eliminate a terrorist organization led by Amu Han in Iraq.

When Huang Bo arrived in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, with more than twenty brothers from the Brotherhood, it was just past three in the afternoon.

Leading a group of brothers out of Baghdad airport, there were many people on the streets. However, a closer look showed that the passersby were all expressionless.

Iraq is the center of the Middle East. The women here dress very conservatively, with their entire bodies tightly wrapped in clothing and their faces covered with black veils.

It was Huang Bo's first time here, and the brothers from the Brotherhood accompanying him were also here for the first time.

Facing an unfamiliar environment, Huang Bo decided to call Ji Xiaohong. Huang Bo didn't know Ji Xiaohong; he only knew of her because Zhou Kai told him.

Li Qiang and Ji Xiaohong had a special relationship. Before Li Qiang died, he instructed Ji Xiaohong that if something happened to him, she should call Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai knew Huang Bo hadn't been to the Middle East, so he instructed him to contact Ji Xiaohong once he arrived.

Ji Xiaohong received Huang Bo's call and asked him to wait at the airport entrance for about an hour, as she had something to take care of first.

As Huang Bo and his brothers waited at the airport for Ji Xiaohong, a chubby, bearded man walked by with two women on either side, each holding onto his shoulders in a familiar manner.

"Brother Bo, do you think those two women are both his wives?" asked Liu Ming, a Brotherhood brother in his twenties standing next to Huang Bo.
