Chapter 664: The Importance of the CEO (Part One)

Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue

stayed in Huaxia for one week and left to return to the M Nation.

On the plane, Lin Chuxue sat next to Xu Cheng in the first-class cabin. She had an economic magazine in her hand as she said to Xu Cheng, “Mandala’s new product directly made the market value of Estee Lauder and L’Oreal drop by 14%~21%. You have displeased some people.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been behind the stage and no one knows that Mandala is related to me directly,” Xu Cheng said.

Lin Chuxue frowned. “Then whose care did you leave Mandala in? Are they trustworthy?”

Xu Cheng smiled and said, “Of course, there will be an opportunity in the future when I introduce you to a few of my brothers. All of them are reliable people who have shared life and death with me. Two of them are in charge of Mandala and they will do a good job in completing the tasks and meeting the plans I have given them.”

Lin Chuxue asked curiously, “You have brothers besides Luo Yi and Li Wei?”

“Of course.” Xu Cheng laughed.

Lin Chuxue smiled as well. “Looks like I missed some of your adventures recently. When are you going to tell me what you’ve been through since you stepped foot in the M Nation for the past six months? In just half a year, you have acquired nearly thirty billion dollars in assets. I wonder if you have learned to be a stock sniper like Soros, otherwise where would you get so much money all of a sudden. Robbing banks wouldn’t even be that fast.”

Xu Cheng looked at Lin Chuxue and said seriously, “Little Xue, it’s not time yet, but once it is, I will tell you everything. Is that okay?”

Lin Chuxue nodded her head. “I’m sure you have your reasons, but I’m confused since according to what Stenson said, whether it’s the casino ownership or this Mandala Lab, why did you choose to keep such a low profile so no one would find out it’s you? What are we afraid of at the moment? You’ve even destroyed the Ryong Clan, so what are you still afraid of?”

Xu Cheng lowered his head and laughed bitterly.

I’m afraid that if I draw too much attention, then people will turn their eyes on to you! Now is not the time for me to show the world what I’ve got!

The Deviant Mercenary Corps was still lacking, and it wasn’t even enough for the capitalists to share the meal and take a bite. If he was to show his cards now, then it would only expose their identities as genetic mutants in advance, and that would be the same as inviting death.

Lin Chuxue knew Xu Cheng very well, and whenever he had something on his mind, he would change the topic or interrupt the conversation.

She reached out and placed her hand on top of Xu Cheng’s as she gazed at him. “Do you know what I hated the most about you when we were kids?”

Xu Cheng raised his eyes to look at her.

Lin Chuxue said, “It was your self-righteousness.”

Xu Cheng didn’t say anything and put his head down, thinking in silence.

Lin Chuxue didn’t force anything further seeing that he had something he wanted to hide and smiled. “Forget it, take me to meet those brothers of yours when it’s time.”

Xu Cheng nodded. He was actually scared on the inside that if he told Lin Chuxue that he was truly a monster and no longer a human in terms of genes, how would Lin Chuxue think of him? Would she stand against him?

Up until now, Xu Cheng had never displayed any of his supernatural abilities in front of Lin Chuxue. If she were to meet his brothers now, he didn’t know if she would find something suspicious, and with Lin Chuxue’s intelligence, she would definitely detect something strange, so he couldn’t take any risks yet.

After attending the press conference about Mandala’s new product, Chekhov started to look for an office building for the Mandala Lab.

With Senator Jerry’s help, Chekhov’s M Nation citizenship was easily approved.

In addition to him, Mario, who was in charge of protecting Chekhov, received the official citizenship as well.

Chapter 664: The Importance of the CEO (Part Two)

The Mandala Lab’s journey to go public would definitely attract the capitalists’ attention and they might even fight for it. Xu Cheng doubted that any professional manager could face the constant harassment of the FBI, so he asked his own people from the Deviant Corp to take care of the company.

Chekhov’s talent would allow him to detect anyone with bad intentions within three-miles, so any assassination attempts on him could be easily eliminated. Thus, he became the best CEO candidate for the Mandala Lab.

Mario was just impatient and wanted to come as well. Of course, in order to get an official role, he nagged and begged Xu Cheng for half a day because he was getting bored in the Land of Mercenaries and wanted to go out.

Xu Cheng had no choice but to let him come as well.

The rest of the brothers stayed in the Deviant Corp’s mountains to guard the underground experiments.

However, before hiring staff, Mario had to pick up the temporary company lines all day to get orders from all over the world.

Meanwhile, Chekhov watched football with a remote control in his hand and ate pizza.

After answering the phone for the entire day, Mario finally pulled out the cable and looked angrily at Chekhov as he said, “I’m here to be your bodyguard, why are you making me do this. I’m f*cking tired of these calls.”

After finishing another slice of pizza, Chekhov asked, “How many pre-orders are in?”

Mario looked at the data he had noted down. “About 20,000 bottles; 14,950 gold serum; 6,890 platinum serum; and 705 diamond serum.”

Chekhov immediately put his feet down on the ground. “That’s good, so why don’t you keep waiting for the calls since there’s already more orders than expected.””

Mario was furious. “Go find an employee soon if you’re really looking for one because I’m done.”

Chekhov: “That’s fine, I’ll tell Boss to send you back to the Land of Mercenaries to be in charge of guarding the engineers.”

Mario wanted to cry. “I’m the fiercest member of the Deviant Mercenary Corp, but now I’m your receptionist here. How shameful is that if word gets out?”

Chekhov: “Cut it out. The fiercest member in the Deviant Corp is Li Wei, and he’ll let you know that’s true with his thunder attracting technique.”

Mario was speechless. “Anyways, I’m a member of the Deviant Corp, and you’re humiliating me by asking me to do this.”

Chekhov: “Since you’ve been humiliated all day today, why don’t you take some more orders before it’s nighttime and I’ll take you on a full LA tour in the evening.”

Mario snorted. “You think you can buy me off with this? Why do you get to be so laid back while I have to work? That’s not fair.”

Chekhov said, “Because the Boss has appointed me as the CEO of Mandala; do you know what a CEO is? The biggest executive member under the Chairman.”

Mario snorted. “I can be the CEO too!”

Chekhov glared at him. “Did you go to college? Can you talk confidently in front of the media? Can you stand in front of the media from various countries and respond to them in their own language? Okay, don’t look at me with your murderous eyes. I know I’ve got your weak points but I’ll give you one simple example of why you can’t be the CEO.”

Mario: “Go ahead.”

Chekhov: “Well, you with your bald head in front of the media will severely degrade the image of our company.”

Mario: “I’ll kill you!”

Chekhov didn’t even look at Mario’s swinging fist and looked at his watch instead as he said calmly, “Boss’s plane arrives tonight and he’s probably landing soon. I’ll tell him that you don’t like being here and that you should go home.”

Mario’s fist stopped in mid-air as he revealed a sly smile on his face. “Brother!”
