Liu Yong chuckled, leaned in to kiss his girlfriend, and exclaimed loudly, "Alright, I'm famished. Let's go grab a bite to eat."
Having boarded the plane not long ago, hunger gnawed at Liu Yong. As the cabin lights came on, the couple walked hand in hand towards the gleaming red Porsche parked nearby.
Li Changle took the wheel while Liu Yong settled into the passenger seat.
Observing the young couple, many onlookers couldn't help but feel envy and admiration. "Wow, that guy is impressive. His girlfriend is stunning and wealthy, and she drives a Porsche."
The Global Shipping Group.
After being away for several days, Liu Yong returned to work at the group. On his first day back in the office, he sat down and was soon interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Hu Shijun, entering with concern written all over his face.
"Brother Yong, you're finally back! Lao Qiu and I were worried sick," Hu Shijun exclaimed.
Liu Yong smiled reassuringly and replied, "There was nothing to worry about. It was just a minor confrontation with Rhodes' armed forces. I didn't pay much attention to it."
Hu Shijun's admiration for Liu Yong grew. Rhodes' armed forces were formidable, yet they seemed like nothing to Brother Yong.
"Brother Yong, it seems that Alfred, the one who planned to hijack our ship and demanded 50 million US dollars, has met his demise," Hu Shijun informed.
Liu Yong nodded and shared the news, "He was shot in the head by Kang Zhenggang, completely decimated."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHu Shijun shook his head with a tinge of regret. "Old Kang is impressive, but it's a shame that Alfred demanded such a hefty sum before meeting his end. We'll never see that money again."
A triumphant smile crept across Liu Yong's face. "Who said the money wouldn't be returned?"
Hu Shijun's eyes widened in pleasant surprise. "Brother Yong, did you manage to retrieve the money?"
"Of course," Liu Yong replied with confidence. "Alfred was terrified of us and feared he would meet a similar fate, so he handed over all his assets. In total, I acquired a whopping 2.1 billion US dollars. I made quite a fortune this time."
"What? 2.1 billion dollars!" Hu Shijun exclaimed in disbelief. This sum was astronomical, equivalent to over 10 billion Yan Guo currency. Brother Yong had deemed it a small fortune.
"You're incredible, Brother Yong! Truly amazing! With 2.1 billion US dollars, those Rhodes-armed individuals must swim in riches," Hu Shijun marvelled.
Liu Yong explained, "They control several large oil fields in YM territory and dabble in kidnapping, extortion, and hijacking merchant ships as side ventures. Naturally, they're swimming in wealth."
As the two friends happily conversed, Qiu Yang knocked on the door and entered the room. "Boss, it's a relief to have you back."
Liu Yong chuckled and replied, "Why are you worrying like Lao Hu? I was just in the Middle East. There was nothing to fret about."
Qiu Yang nodded, then proceeded to report a situation. "Boss, Captain Sun Ming of the 'Lianxin' reported encountering a band of pirates a few hours ago. Fortunately, our warship arrived just in time, and we managed to eliminate them all. Currently, the 'United Signal' is en route to the Suez Canal."
Liu Yong nodded knowingly. "I'm aware of this incident. It wasn't mere pirates, but Rhodes' armed forces in disguise. Their aim was to hijack our 'Lianxin'."
Upon hearing this, both Qiu Yang and Liu Yong felt angry.
"Those Rhodes-armed individuals again!" Qiu Yang exclaimed.
Liu Yong noticed their frustration and reassured them, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to our ship. I'll make sure Rhodes sees a vivid display of our retaliation."
"They dare to hijack our merchant ship again? We must teach them a lesson," Qiu Yang declared with determination.
After bidding farewell to Qiu Yang and Hu Shijun, Liu Yong picked up the phone on his desk and made an international call.
The call connected swiftly, and Kang Zhenggang's voice echoed. "Hi, boss."
Liu Yong issued an order, his tone filled with purpose. "Old Kang, apart from training and maintaining communication, I have another task for you—to show Rhodes' armed forces the consequences of their actions by eliminating one of their leaders."
To capture the thieves, one must first grasp the king. Killing their leader would have a more significant impact than targeting their subordinates.
Kang Zhenggang responded promptly, "Boss, no problem. Since we've taken the gene medicine, everyone is eager to engage in battle. I'll take the initiative to contact General Said. Once we receive actionable intelligence, we'll act swiftly."
While they could directly communicate with General Said, the YM government focused on investigation and intelligence gathering. Once they confirmed the whereabouts of influential Rhodes Armed Forces leaders, Kang Zhenggang and his team would take immediate action.
Confirming the location of a significant leader of the Rhodes Armed Forces would take time, perhaps two or three days or even longer.
Huahai International Garden.
Today marked the official move-in day for everyone in the community. With eight buildings equipped with elevators and over 2,000 housing units, excitement filled the air at the community's entrance.
The gate was bustling with activity.
Joyful individuals walked into the community, carrying their luggage. Even a moving company's truck arrived, laden with furniture and belongings, gradually making its way inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe significant movement caught the attention of onlookers, especially considering the community's proximity to the subway station.
"What kind of community is this? Why are so many people moving in?" someone inquired.
"Yes, it seems quite lively," another remarked.
While most people were unaware of Huahai International Garden's specifics, a few well-informed individuals shared their knowledge.
"This is Huahai International Garden, an upscale community developed by the Global Shipping Group exclusively for its employees," one person revealed.
"An employee residential complex?" Many people were taken aback, their interest piqued.
"Yes, that's right. All the residents here are employees of the Global Shipping Group. Regular employees are allocated houses, starting from well-furnished rooms measuring over 90 square meters. Larger furnished units are also available."
Gasps of amazement filled the air. Everyone's envy grew exponentially.
Huahai City, situated in an international metropolis with a population exceeding 20 million, boasted exorbitant land prices. Communities near subway entrances typically commanded prices of no less than 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per square meter.
Owning a property in Huahai City was the dream of many residents.
Yet, here was the Global Shipping Group, directly providing houses to its employees, with the smallest unit being a well-furnished room measuring over 90 square meters.
"Amazing!"
"They're simply unstoppable!"
"The Global Shipping Group has no boundaries!"
Envious gazes were fixated on the entrance of Huahai International Garden Community as thoughts of being a part of the Global Shipping Group crossed their minds.
Some individuals resolved to seize the opportunity, thinking, "When the Global Shipping Group recruits again, I must give it a shot. If I manage to become a member, I could live in the Huahai International Garden Community too."
