Chapter 1865: Chapter 1863: [The Most Powerful and Despicable Opponent Arrives!]

These days, Liu Rumei has been so focused on the Sea King Group’s huge project that she’s reached the point of completely neglecting food and rest. Even when she felt a bit faint from exhaustion these past few days, she didn’t let herself stop, because this international project is critically important to her, to the entire Ye family, and even to the development of all of China!

However, the Sea King Group initially had the upper hand in this collaboration project with the largest international company M, and they were all set for success. Who would have thought that just before signing the contract, several other large international companies would suddenly emerge? These companies, many of which are formidable foreign players, are all highly competitive. Judging by the situation, the Sea King Group is still considered a rising star among them!

"Mr. Liu, you’re up so early too!" Liu Rumei glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her and said with a smile.

"Yes, with M Company holding this press conference, attended by major domestic and international companies, how could I not be here? By the way, I heard M Company will announce the partner for this international project right at the press conference. Who do you think it will be, Chairman Liu?" the middle-aged man whom Liu Rumei called Mr. Liu asked mockingly.

"Do I even need to say it? Of course, it’s our Sea King Group!" Liu Rumei said confidently with a smile.

Mr. Liu’s expression changed upon hearing Liu Rumei’s words, but being a seasoned businessman with deep scheming, he laughed and said, "Chairman Liu, you really are confident. However, I’d like to remind you that although the Sea King Group has risen quickly in recent years, being overconfident as a newcomer isn’t good!"

"Arrogance? Compared to your enterprises, our Sea King Group is much more low-key!" Liu Rumei retorted, unwilling to show weakness.

"We’ll see!" Mr. Liu said unpleasantly.

Watching Mr. Liu leave, shaking with anger, the secretary Xiao Li chuckled and said, "Chairman, that old guy wanted to intimidate us, not knowing how well-prepared we are!"

"Yes, but we can’t be careless. I feel some companies are very confident, not sure where their confidence comes from. In any case, for this major project, we must make every effort to win!" Liu Rumei thought for a moment and said.

Before long, the venue for the press conference of the world’s largest company M was filled with many people. Most of them were from the upper echelons of society, their speech, demeanor, and attire all belonging to those at the pinnacle of the business pyramid—true wealth!

It’s clear that anyone who could attend was someone outstanding. At the event, Liu Rumei was the center of attention, not only because the Sea King Group had become an international company but more importantly, because in this upper-class society, beautiful women were abundant. Yet, someone as beautiful as Liu Rumei was indeed a rarity. Many big company bosses and some young heirs from large firms all wanted to get close to her, keeping Liu Rumei busy with socializing!

Soon, a crowd gathered around Liu Rumei, including young business talents and veteran figures, all captivated by her talent and beauty!

"Chairman Liu is determined to win M Company’s project, isn’t she?"

"I wonder how Chairman Liu is preparing?"

"I heard Mr. Peter, the big boss of M Company, would personally come. It would be such an honor to meet him!"

"Chairman Liu arrived so early, surely wanting to meet Mr. Peter, right?"

Faced with these enthusiastic questions, Liu Rumei smiled slightly and said, "This major project of M Company has garnered worldwide attention. Not only business empires but even governments are concerned about it, as it could influence a country’s economic development. Mr. Peter’s personal presence also shows how seriously M Company is taking this collaboration!"

"That’s right. It’s impressive that the Sea King Group made it to the top five contenders for this major project!"

"Indeed, this showcases Chairman Liu’s capabilities!"

"But I heard that H Company, the second-largest internationally, has also joined the race for this project, which is quite surprising!"

"Yes, H Company has always been a fierce competitor with M Company, and they only jumped in at the last moment, showing great potential. What is H Company planning to do?"

"Shh, keep it down. I heard that H Company’s current boss is named Audem, a ruthless guy who employs his own mercenary force. Not someone to mess with!"

"Right, I’ve heard Audem is capable of anything, which is why H Company ended up under his name. Perhaps he’ll come in person this time!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Liu Rumei frowned; she had heard of Audem and had him investigated. H Company’s previous boss wasn’t Audem, but just a year ago, they suddenly announced Audem as their boss. This news shocked the entire business world because for an international second-largest company like H Company to switch bosses just like that was unheard of!

Later, news broke that Audem was someone who rose quickly through the mercenary world, with immense power, having established his own mercenary army, gaining international fame. Even the M Country government couldn’t handle him, as he used coercive means to make H Company’s shareholders hand over parts of their shares, making him the major shareholder of H Company. This Audem was extremely arrogant and overbearing. Rumor has it he’ll personally visit China this time, not an easy person to deal with!

"Chairman Liu, you must be careful. H Company is the biggest competitor, and Audem is so arrogant and ruthless, capable of anything—he’s an extremely dangerous figure!" someone warned Liu Rumei.

"Our Sea King Group will compete fairly, and I believe this is China, not M Country. Audem might be able to run wild in M Country, but not in China!" Liu Rumei said seriously.

Clap, clap, clap!

The sound of applause drew everyone’s attention to the side, where a tall foreigner with a full beard and a very fierce look, accompanied by four strong bodyguards, was approaching with a cold smile. Seeing him, everyone stepped back in surprise, not daring to provoke him!

In this gathered crowd, everyone was outstanding, and all had power and influence. However, when they saw this foreigner, they all made way for him, indicating this person wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and no one dared to easily offend him.

"Chairman, that’s Audem. I didn’t expect him to have arrived already!" the secretary Xiao Li softly reminded Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei glanced at the approaching man, indeed finding him extremely detestable. He was tall, burly, with a full beard, and most importantly, his eyes were very sinister and malicious, with a long scar on his face that looked like a worm crawling, utterly disgusting!

"I heard someone talking about me. Mind if I join?" Audem said in very rough Chinese as he reached the crowd.

Upon hearing Audem’s words, the others nearby gradually dispersed, not wanting to talk to him and, of course, a bit afraid to offend him. After all, Audem was ruthless, commanding a strong mercenary force that even the M Country government couldn’t handle. Who dared to provoke him? Even the world’s largest M Company probably wouldn’t want to offend him easily!

"You must be Chairman Liu of Sea King Group, right? Truly a beautiful lady. It’s my honor to meet you!" Audem said, extending his hand.

Liu Rumei looked at Audem but didn’t extend her hand, making Audem frown. The burly bodyguard beside him had an urge to act, but Audem stopped him, grinning maliciously, "Don’t, I’m the most gentlemanly man in the world, and I believe Chairman Liu will fall in love with me!"

"Really? I think that’s something that will never happen!" Liu Rumei said disdainfully.

"Hehe, I believe it certainly will. I hear Sea King Group really wants to collaborate with M Company on this project, Chairman Liu working tirelessly!" Audem laughed.

"What does that have to do with you? As for your H Company, I’ve heard you’ve used many despicable means. This is understandable since the person managing H Company now is also a despicable scoundrel!" Liu Rumei snapped.

Audem glanced at Liu Rumei and then whispered, "Chairman Liu, are you sure it’s wise to offend me? You might be facing a disaster!" (To be continued.
