Chapter 185: Virtue Engraved on a Brick

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Tang Rui returned home, he realized that his own company had gone viral again, and it was the explosive kind of hot topic.

The reason?

It was all because of the incident involving the Special Operations Team in the Mianbei.

When the Special Operations Team was on a mission in the Mianbei, they didn’t use any signal jamming, and they didn’t need to. So many of the rescued people took out their phones and started recording videos.

In the videos, the temporary workers of Crimson Corporation appeared as if war gods had descended, with precise and powerful movements and incredibly accurate marksmanship.

These temporary workers swept through everything on their way, wiping out the warlords in the Mianbei and the criminal organizations associated with them. Anyone with deep ties or interests with the criminal organizations was also apprehended.

Throughout this operation, there was only bloodshed and no real conflict, as it was a one-sided beatdown.

There were many videos from various angles and locations, at least thousands of different videos.

After professional editing, they could be watched as short films, and they were quite thrilling.

However, in the comments section, netizens had different opinions.

“These are just temporary workers.”

“And some unemployed individuals.”

These videos, along with the announcement from Crimson, seemed rather unbelievable.

Netizens, of course, did not believe that nonsensical announcement that had no hint of authenticity.

They were merely having a discussion.

What exactly was Crimson Corporation?

Initially, it was thought to be just an arms company that primarily dealt highly-effective weapons to the Middle East.

But later, it was discovered that Crimson was an extraordinary entity. They could manufacture advanced sixth-generation aircraft and even small vertical take-off and landing transport planes.

Now, Crimson was making an even bigger scene.

According to the summary by netizens, Crimson was like a combination of Lockheed Martin and Blackwater within the country. Not only were their research and development capabilities outstanding, but their security personnel were even more impressive.

If the temporary workers could wipe out warlords, then what would the official security personnel be capable of? It would be like ascending to the heavens.

Chinese netizens were very excited.

They were shouting and making all sorts of jokes.

Everyone was having a great time.

However, in the eyes of other countries, this was a serious signal.

What kind of signal?

A gentle creature had turned dark.

In recent years, many obstacles had been placed at their doorstep to restrict their development, and they were constantly being provoked.

In reality, with their capabilities, could these problems pose a real challenge to them?

Not at all.

Back in the day, when the three war gods discovered that the other side wouldn’t surrender and even dared to fight back, they chased after them all the way, almost shattering the enemy’s crystal. It perfectly explained what it meant to be a king defeating bronze.

In recent years, they hadn’t taken action mainly because they wanted to focus on their own development and hoped to resolve things through other means.

Did it work?

Yes.

With their capabilities, they could easily take them on.

Just look at Thailand; they lived comfortably, thriving in their lucrative tourism industry alone.

Compared to the U.S’s grand promises, they were much more practical.

So, the results and progress over the years had been quite good. If they persevered for a few more years, they could likely change the situation in their neighborhood.

Unfortunately, the current situation was different.

Rather than dragging it out, they might as well take the opportunity to test the waters first.

This move would make things difficult for them, so they hurriedly convened a meeting.

They needed to discuss countermeasures and figure out what to do next.

He wouldn’t hide anymore.

He had revealed his cards.

Before, he had tried to entice them with carrots, but now he was revealing the hidden hand he had been holding behind his back, and that hand was holding a brick.

The brick had the Chinese character of “De” (virtue) written on it.

What was to be done?

They tried to come up with solutions, but nothing seemed good enough.

In the end, they decided they’d ride on the side of condemnation.

Reporter: “Are they temporary workers?”

“They are temporary workers?”

“Are you sure they are temporary workers?”

“Yes, but they have already been fired.”

“So, they are not temporary workers.”

“You’re saying they’re not temporary workers?”

It was all just a lot of arguing, with no one willing to concede to the other.

And so, five days passed in this manner.

On that day, the Mianbei government finally spoke up.

They announced that they would mobilize their military to launch an armed strike against the criminals in the Mianbei.

There was nothing more to be said.

With the Mianbei military taking action, the temporary workers seeking revenge were apprehended one by one and then extradited back to their home countries, where they would await legal trials.

That’s how the news reported it.

Crimson Corporation also released a statement.

‘Due to job vacancies, our company will be recruiting a new batch of temporary workers. We believe in the overall quality of temporary workers and hope that they will work hard and not follow the example of the previous group.*

“Wow, they’re not even trying to hide it.”

“They were just arrested over there, extradited back to their countries, and your company is already recruiting another batch of temporary workers. That’s quite a coincidence.”

“Don’t make baseless accusations. I trust Crimson. This new group of people must be different from the previous ones.”

“What kind of education do you need to work at Crimson?”

“What are the hiring criteria? Even as a temporary worker?”

The comments on the official website quickly drifted off-topic.

Tang Rui didn’t pay much attention to all of this. He was busy hosting a banquet in the restaurant, inviting the newly recruited temporary workers to join in the festivities.

“Brother Lin, what’s the situation in the Mianbei now?” Tang Rui asked Lin Chao while they were eating.

“Now, we have a comprehensive strategic partnership with them. How does that sound?” Lin Chao said with a smile.

“Comprehensive strategic partnership?” Tang Rui blinked and came up with a term.

“I’ve already said it’s a partnership, so don’t misunderstand. But from now on, when we go to Mianbei, we won’t need visas. Visa-free.”

“I understand, got it.”

“Shortly, the Thais may send someone over to purchase some equipment from our company,” Lin Chao added.

Thailand coming to buy equipment?

Tang Rui thought for a moment and seemed to understand something.

“Is Thailand scared?”

“They have been purchasing our equipment for years, and our trade volume has been increasing year by year.”

“So, does that mean we’ve completely opened up in Southeast Asia?”

“Our country is now the Mianbei’s largest trading partner and second-largest export market.”

“So, we can have our way with them?”

“We’ll have a business conference later this year.”

The two of them chatted casually.

After the banquet was over, Tang Rui returned to the laboratory and asked Red Lotus to display the funds they had acquired during this operation.

Several billion US dollars in cash.

“Red Lotus, contact the Yun Province police and tell them I’ve made a fortune and set up a relief fund. The families of the victims can receive some recompense.”

“Understood, Master. Red Lotus will take care of it.”

Tang Rui nodded and decided not to personally handle this money.

He wasn’t lacking any..
