Chapter 2122: Chapter 2218: Blood Boiling

"Have you heard of it? Could this thing also be related?"

Looking at Su Xuan, Chen Chuyu spoke with a serious expression. He now felt this matter was far too complicated, like one big tangled mess.

"There’s no direct connection, but it’s hard to say there’s no link at all. The United Alliance was actually a huge conspiracy from the very beginning, but later it was turned around by me and a group of big shots in the Imperial Capital. And because of this, I almost paid with my life. On the surface now, Huaxia looks like an age of Taiping and prosperity, but beneath this peaceful facade there are actually undercurrents surging everywhere, especially in the economic war. One of the reasons I left the army was precisely because of this."

Su Xuan explained in a low voice. Listening to him, Chen Chuyu’s blood was boiling; she couldn’t help gripping Su Xuan’s hand, speaking with an excited look.

"Can I join you? I may just be a trainer, but as long as it can contribute to the stability and prosperity of Huaxia’s economy, I’m willing to pay any price."

At this moment, Chen Chuyu already had an unprecedentedly good impression of Su Xuan. A real man—this was what a real man should be like. When she heard that Su Xuan was actually involved with the United Alliance as well, in that instant she was filled with boundless admiration for him.

Chen Chuyu’s greatest wish was to use what she’d learned to help society develop. After finding out what Su Xuan had done, she truly admired him. Thinking of her ex-boyfriend, compared to Su Xuan, the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Chuyu? The water here is very deep. I don’t really want you dragged into this. I actually came here to investigate exactly how many companies Du Haitao has already taken control of. If the Headhunting Company keeps developing like this, in the future he might even end up controlling Huaxia’s entire economic network, and that would be absolutely terrifying!"

Su Xuan spoke with a serious face. He saw that Chen Chuyu was serious too. It seemed this little girl really had a very strong patriotic feeling. With that patriotism in her, Su Xuan felt he could let her help him.

This time, Su Xuan had come in with two goals. One was to find out how many companies had fallen under control. What he had in mind was to infiltrate the system and then destroy those files, so that this security risk could be eliminated at the source.

The second was to see if he could find a way to deal with this from the source. Destroying those things wasn’t actually the most important part. The truly crucial thing was to figure out how they had managed to pull this off in the first place. These past few days Su Xuan had also been observing this matter from the outside, but he still hadn’t discovered where the problem lay.

Su Xuan firmly believed there had to be a secret experimental base behind this. You had to understand, those "eyes" were not ordinary surveillance cameras, because normal cameras needed electricity, and that girl from Changting clearly didn’t know anything about it. So that thing was actually some very advanced piece of tech, even capable of tapping into human power, fusing human power together—a kind of high-tech achievement.

Precisely because of this, he was even more convinced that this company was obviously on the same level as that half-man half-machine, Luo Cunxu. If he could dig something out from this, it would be very good.

"So that means I’ve been helping the villains all along."

Looking at Su Xuan, Chen Chuyu instantly felt a bit uneasy inside. All along she’d wanted to use what she’d learned to train high-quality management talent for companies back home, because when those large Huaxia companies developed well, it would naturally be very beneficial for Huaxia’s economy.

So Chen Chuyu worked very hard and always taught with her whole heart, hoping to pass on what she’d learned to them. She was the kind of relatively noble person—when she saw another company develop well, she felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

But after hearing Su Xuan say all this today, she felt that all this time she’d been an accomplice, because the reason this company became so famous had a lot to do with her.

"This isn’t on you. After all, you didn’t know any of this."

Su Xuan said softly. In his heart he still felt that, strictly speaking, Chen Chuyu was indeed an accomplice. But this wasn’t something she had wanted, so there wasn’t much she could do.

"Don’t comfort me. I know this actually has a lot to do with me."

Looking at Su Xuan, in that instant, Chen Chuyu felt truly uncomfortable inside. Someone as smart as her, how could she not sense that this was related to her? Now that she thought about it, if it weren’t for Su Xuan, every time she successfully trained someone, it was equivalent to successfully selling out the company that person worked for. In this way, many companies would have a lot of secrets grasped by others. When the time came, if anyone wanted to carry out some conspiracy, it would be much easier.

After all, business secrets—many business secrets could even be mentioned in the same breath as military secrets.

"I’ll go back and resign right away. This Du Haitao is really vile!"

Chen Chuyu said through gritted teeth.

"Are you crazy? If you resign now, won’t that alert him that something’s up? Besides, even if you quit, this won’t solve anything. The most important thing right now isn’t your resignation, it’s that we have to find a way to wreck all of this. The original intention of the Headhunting Company wasn’t wrong. Many of Huaxia’s companies, the reason they start off with a huge momentum but turn into absolute trash after a few years, is actually because of the people running them. So what I’m thinking is, not only do we have to destroy these earth?shattering conspiracies of the headhunters, we have to seize control of the entire Headhunting Company, and turn it into a truly large-scale headhunting firm that can serve all kinds of companies."

Su Xuan spoke with a serious face. When he finished, Chen Chuyu was taken aback. Looking at Su Xuan, she hadn’t expected his ambitions to be so great.

"Then what do you want me to do? I’ll help you!"

Chen Chuyu chose to trust Su Xuan unconditionally. At this moment she was willing to believe, without reservation, that what Su Xuan told her was true.

"Keep everything as it is. Don’t let Du Haitao get suspicious, and then see if you can discover anything. I’m not familiar with the headhunting business."

Su Xuan spoke seriously. Right now it felt like they were acting out a spy movie. But since ancient times people have said the marketplace is like the battlefield. In the business arena, many battles without gunpowder smoke are in no way inferior to those with it.

At this moment, the waiter had already brought over the two bowls of hot and sour noodles they’d ordered. Su Xuan made a gesture indicating they’d stop here for now, and the two of them didn’t continue discussing the matter. After all, it concerned classified secrets, and talking about it openly wasn’t exactly wise.
