Chapter 2978 Beating Up Hong Shao

But this preparatory work cannot be completed overnight.

Moreover, Ye Luo learned that the key technology in the mecha field was not yet fully completed. Cooperation with other enterprises was necessary to achieve it, after all, the Tong Yao Group was just a company and couldn’t lead in every aspect.

“I’ve been busy with other projects recently. The mecha department was originally under your responsibility. There’s a meeting happening soon, so if there are any companies to collaborate with, you can decide!” said Tong Yao.

Ye Luo looked at her curiously, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll drive those companies away?”

“It’s no big deal. Even without these companies, our group can still produce mechas, it just takes some time to perfect it!”

Ye Luo instantly understood that the Tong Yao Group hadn’t failed in achieving those technical breakthroughs—they just found it too troublesome to do it themselves.

Thus, this meeting became somewhat unnecessary.

However, it was Ye Luo’s job, so no matter what, he had to proceed with it.

The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, but the venue wasn’t at the Tong Yao Group, rather at the largest hotel in the area, Zhongzhou Grand Hotel!

Upon hearing this name, Ye Luo knew this must be a property under the Zhongzhou Group.

This time he wasn’t going alone, of course, as he represented the Tong Yao Group. Two scientists were acting as his advisors, as the event was more formal, Ye Luo couldn’t use the excuse of not understanding to dismiss people. The meeting was even going to be live-streamed, and if anything happened, the reputation of the Tong Yao Group would suffer greatly.

Besides the advisors, there were two assistants as well. After all, Ye Luo held a president role, so mundane worldly tasks weren’t handled by him personally, and there was a security detail along with a department manager, who was truly Ye Luo’s subordinate.

In reality, the division president was just responsible for setting the overall direction of the department; the actual work was done by the department manager.

“President, this is Zhongzhou Grand Hotel, considered the top hotel in the city!” At the hotel entrance, the manager started to introduce, as Tong Yao had informed him of Ye Luo’s special status.

Ye Luo nodded slightly. Although the hotel was luxurious and tall, the city’s development hadn’t reached the level of the Zhongzhou Empire. Even compared to Earth, top hotels wouldn’t be inferior to this one.

Seeing Ye Luo’s calm demeanor, the manager became curious, as he knew of Ye Luo’s identity as a cultivator.

It was rumored that when cultivators entered the city, the first thing they did wasn’t finding a place to stay, but visiting the hotel!

The hotel’s floors were the tallest in the city and were lavishly decorated! Although the height wasn’t significant to cultivators, for a building to reach such heights was truly a miracle for them.

Yet Ye Luo seemed unfazed, indicating either he’d seen it before, or his mindset was exceptionally strong, either of which proved he was no ordinary person!

Thinking of this, the manager’s respect for Ye Luo increased even more.

Before they could enter, staff members came to greet them, clearly in well-tailored suits, resembling senior white-collar workers.

This city was somewhat different from Earth. On Earth, hotel staff were of average status, but here, they were senior white-collar workers, holding a significantly higher status than ordinary people.

Of course, in front of Ye Luo, they had to be respectful, as his status as a division president was not something white-collar workers could compare to, being more akin to a gold-collar status.

“You head in first, there’s still some time before the meeting starts, I’ll take a casual stroll first!” Ye Luo said.

The manager nodded immediately, “Alright, you can call me when it’s time, I’ll come down to pick you up!”

Ye Luo nodded slightly, then headed straight into the hotel.

This hotel was significantly different from those on Earth. The first floor had no dining area; rather, it resembled a large garden filled with plants Ye Luo had never seen, along with some small animals—certainly only some adorable rare species, unrelated to spirit beasts.

At the moment, many guests were strolling here, and this seemed to be a major attraction of the Zhongzhou Hotel.

“Hey, you still have the nerve to sneak in here!”

Suddenly, a peculiar and sarcastic voice came from behind Ye Luo.

Ye Luo turned around in confusion, only to see a familiar face.

It was actually that young Hong!

“Looks like you didn’t get locked up, huh!” Ye Luo laughed.

Upon hearing this, young Hong’s fiery temper flared up instantly.

“Kid, you’re courting death. If it weren’t for you, how would I have ended up in prison for so many days? If not for some special methods, I wouldn’t have been bailed out. I’ve been looking for you for days, who knew I’d run into you today. Do you think I can let you go so easily?” he said fiercely.

Many around recognized young Hong and knew he had indeed been through prison; they just didn’t expect it was because of a young man. So who was this young man!

Suddenly, curiosity arose among the onlookers.

“Then you better think twice, otherwise, you might spend the rest of your life in prison!” Ye Luo chuckled.

Seeing that Ye Luo wasn’t afraid but was rather joking, it drove young Hong mad with rage.

“Alright, alright! I’ve remembered you. This is Zhongzhou Hotel, I won’t bother with you now, but you will have to leave the hotel eventually!” young Hong said, squinting his eyes.

Ye Luo, however, sneered, “Who do you think you are? Just because you said you won’t bother with me, you think it’s over? Well, I feel like bothering with you now!”

At these words, not only were the people around stunned, even young Hong was stunned.

He was always the arrogant one, but now there was someone even more arrogant!

Damn it! Young Hong was furious but understood he had to endure inside Zhongzhou Hotel. Offending the Zhongzhou Group, not to mention him alone, even the entire Hong family would collapse!

But at this point, Ye Luo walked over, looking at him with a cold gaze.

Young Hong shivered, almost instinctively asking, “What do you want to do?”

“Of course, to teach you a lesson!”

With that, Ye Luo’s fist swung out, and young Hong’s eyes widened, but instead of panic, there was excitement and schadenfreude.

However, the next moment, the fist landed on young Hong’s face.

Of course, Ye Luo controlled his strength well, otherwise, it would be easy to turn him into pieces.
