Chapter 2982 Riding a Tiger, Unable to Dismount

However, the Iron Lady sneered repeatedly.

“Put away that ugly face of yours. How can I not know what you’re thinking? Isn’t it just because there’s a live broadcast now, and you’re concerned about your image, so you can’t do anything? I bet as soon as the broadcast ends, the Tong Yao Group will make a move! But I’m not afraid! I said it before!” she snorted coldly.

Clearly, she had no intention of cooperating with the Tong Yao Group.

Ye Luo was somewhat helpless, “I also said, what you’re saying is not wrong! Why would I suppress you? I’ve only been with the Tong Yao Group for five days! Everyone knows this; if I said I understood this technology, would you believe it? Obviously not!”

“Moreover, before I came, I did indeed come to apply for a security job, but Chairman Tong has a keen eye and insisted on making me a vice president; there’s nothing wrong with that either!”

As soon as Ye Luo said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

The scientists on stage almost fainted. They looked at Ye Luo, their expressions more distressed than crying.

It’s over, it’s over! Now, the Tong Yao Group’s face is utterly lost, and more importantly, Tong Yao might be implicated because of this incident.

Hearing this, even the Iron Lady looked at him in surprise. Of course, she still had disdain for Ye Luo, only wondering if this guy had lost his mind to admit to such a thing.

In the corner, President Di sneered repeatedly, yet his fists were still tightly clenched.

In a high-end villa.

This villa was built in a very special location, at the top of a several-story-high building, surrounded completely by a sea of clouds. Sitting in the villa’s courtyard, it felt like a fairyland.

At this moment, a man and a woman were dining, with two servants attending to them.

And beside them, there was a gigantic screen, showing scenes from Ye Luo’s meeting.

“Nonsense, is this the vice president you hired?” the middle-aged man said angrily.

“Indeed!” Tong Yao replied softly, yet without any intention of explaining.

“Nonsense!”

The middle-aged man finally couldn’t hold back, slapping the table heavily, causing the delicacies on the table to fall to the ground, and the servants hurriedly came to clean up.

“You must know how many people are eyeing your position now! And yet you’ve done such a ridiculous thing! Now what, how am I supposed to explain this to the other executives? Your position as president is likely over too!”

The middle-aged man was, of course, Tong Yao’s father. Currently, his gaze at Tong Yao was filled with frustration.

“I’ve never said I wanted to be the president; it was all your arrangement from the beginning!” Tong Yao said blandly.

“You!” The middle-aged man raised his hand, about to strike Tong Yao’s face, but stopped halfway, finally sighing and letting it go.

“Even if you don’t want to be president, that’s fine, but you don’t need to resort to such lowly methods! Having a fool hold a meeting, how is the Tong Yao Group supposed to handle affairs in the future?”

At this point, Tong Yao finally put down the cup in her hand.

“Although the position of president was forcibly given to me by you, and I’m not interested in the presidency, since I’ve taken over, I must do my best! Better than anyone else!” Qiong Yao said coldly.

“Do your best?” The middle-aged man slightly shook his head, “Is this how you do your best? Previous issues could be overlooked, but this time, you let a cultivator with no brains control the mecha department. Is this what you call the best?”

Tong Yao, however, didn’t bother to explain, only watched the screen, a determined look appearing in her eyes.

In the conference room, after the shock, everyone wanted to see how this newly promoted president would resolve the situation, as he was now in a difficult predicament.

“But! So what!” Ye Luo suddenly laughed.

So what? Many sneered. If he had just made a little explanation, found a reasonable excuse, he might’ve been able to step down! But he didn’t bother explaining, instead doggedly sticking to his path.

“Who says not understanding technology means you can’t manage a department! Who says not having the right attitude means you can’t achieve results? Who says I am misleading the direction of the mecha department?” Ye Luo suddenly turned cold.

“As president, do I have to spend all day in the workshop or lab developing mechas? Then what are the scientists for? Do I have to, like other employees, keep an eye on a single post all the time? Is the president’s value just in that? Certainly not!” Ye Luo said leisurely, “The president’s duty is to coordinate the operation of the whole department. For instance, I may not know how a mecha is produced, but if I ensure the quality and power of the mecha, that’s enough! Overall, I am the president, I control the overall direction of the mecha department!”

Though Ye Luo said a lot, those below remained unmoved.

This is a technological realm, and these people are far less easily deceived than cultivators.

If you don’t produce something real, they won’t recognize you.

Ye Luo gave a cold smile, and suddenly, a mecha appeared in front of him!

This mecha was much taller than Ye Luo, yet still smaller compared to robotic warriors.

However, the focus of the mecha is on agility and speed, aspects that robots cannot match; the mecha’s speed even exceeds that of Ultra Combat Robots.

And many people present, seeing the mecha for the first time, naturally became interested.

“Hmph, it’s just a mecha. My team has long since made one. It’s well known that the creation of a mecha is not difficult; what’s truly challenging is integrating perfectly with it and achieving perfect control!” the Iron Lady said disdainfully.

Hearing this, many nodded, as the technological difference between mecha and robots isn’t that vast; even ordinary companies can produce them.

And what Ye Luo intended to do was, of course, not just this warrior mecha.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Luo slowly walked into the mecha.

Soon, a blue light glowed inside the mecha, apparently indicating it was integrating with human consciousness.

Seeing this, the scientists on stage were so shocked they nearly jumped.

What a joke! This is a real mecha, utterly different from the one Ye Luo and others operated in the illusionary realm!

That mecha was an illusionary realm, theoretical! Perfect! Thus, integrating consciousness had almost no difficulty or risk.

However, this real mecha is far from perfect, and if anything goes wrong, human consciousness will collapse immediately.

“President Ye, please wait a moment!”

Several scientists instantly rushed over, not caring about their image anymore at that point.
