Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 167 I dare not move! Conferring ranks! Or is it just a matter of speed?He just stared blankly at the Air Force Major General’s smiling face, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

At this moment, time seemed to stretch infinitely.

Mr. Wang’s mind went blank, his ears ringing, with only that smiling question echoing repeatedly.

”Are you moved?”

These two words were like two invisible mountains, pressing heavily upon his heart, making even breathing difficult.

Moved?

He dared not move!

As a tycoon who had spent half a lifetime struggling in the sea of commerce, he instantly understood the crushing weight behind that question.

This was no mere question.

It was clearly a multiple-choice question.

A: Moved. Then lose this invaluable project, but gain safety, and perhaps even some unexpected compensation.

B: Dare not move. As for the consequences... he dared not think about them.

He glanced at Li Jiajun, who was standing beside him with an equally pale face and looking completely stunned, and then at the strategic cooperation agreement on the table, which he had signed himself and whose ink was still wet.

The clauses regarding commercial secrets, intellectual property rights, and breach of contract seemed so pale, powerless, and ridiculous at this moment.

He remembered his solemn promise to the national media cameras at the press conference.

”We at Express Delivery Company guarantee we will not be requisitioned!”

’Looking at it now, I’m just a joke.’ This thought surfaced in Mr. Wang’s mind.

He knew he had to say something.

Silence here was equivalent to resistance.

”Chie... Chief...”

Mr. Wang spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse and dry, as he attempted one last, futile struggle. ”Thi... This is a commercial cooperation project between us and Factory Director Li, we...”

”Mr. Wang.”

The Air Force Major General interrupted him with a smile, his tone as warm as ever, as if it were just a chat between friends and family.

”Of course we respect commercial rules. That’s why we specially invited you here today, just to... discuss things with you.”

He deliberately emphasized the word ”discuss,” his face retaining that spring-breeze smile, but his eyes revealed a firm, oppressive intensity.

...

Mr. Wang understood instantly.

This was no longer a discussion; it was a notification.

The so-called discussion was just the state machinery politely honking its horn before rolling over him at high speed.

He took a deep breath, knowing that today, he absolutely dared not move.

He stood up abruptly from his chair, so nervous that his voice changed pitch, even stuttering slightly.

”Chief! I... I dare not move!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he froze, realizing with a sinking heart that he had just blurted out his true thoughts!

”Ah, no, that’s not right... What I mean is... I’m moved! I’m very moved!”

Mr. Wang’s survival instinct exploded to its peak at this moment; his face turned bright red, and he declared loudly at high speed:

”If the country needs it, we at Express Delivery Company are duty-bound! Being able to contribute to the country’s air defense cause is a blessing that our Shunfeng Group, and I, Mr. Wang, have cultivated over eight lifetimes! Forget about one plane; even if you wanted our entire company, we would be willing to donate it to the country!”

After speaking, perhaps feeling that words alone were not enough to show his loyalty, he actually mimicked what he had seen on TV and gave the Air Force Major General a clumsy, awkward military salute—a gesture that was ridiculous yet filled with sincerity.

...

Li Jiajun, standing to the side, stared blankly at this commercial tycoon who, just a few days ago, had been full of spirit and ambition. Seeing him now, so humble as to be almost sycophantic, his worldview was once again violently shaken.

He completely gave up all fantasies, feeling entirely numb.

Meanwhile, Liu Jianguo in the conference room watched Mr. Wang’s comical performance of stuttering and saluting, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

’This kid... knows how to show loyalty.’ He was speechless in his heart.

After listening to Mr. Wang’s impassioned declaration, the Air Force Major General nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face became much more genuine.

He stepped forward, placed a hand on Mr. Wang’s shoulder, and had him sit down.

”Mr. Wang, your awareness is very high! The country will not forget any patriotic entrepreneur who has made contributions.”
