“Jiuxiao?” Chen Siwei’s eyebrows twisted into an inverted character. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head, indicating he knew nothing about Jiuxiao.
“Jiuxiao is the name of an organization,” seeing Chen Siwei shake his head, Hao Yunyang was not surprised at all. If he had nodded, Hao Yunyang might have been shocked.
“An organization?”
“Correct.” Hao Yunyang looked at Chen Siwei and smiled: “The Jiuxiao organization includes top talents from various industries. Organization members can freely use technical materials provided by other members. The organization will not restrict members’ freedom, but members cannot expose the organization’s existence, or they will be severely punished.”
“The organization’s scale is so vast that even I am not fully aware. I only know that five or six years ago, someone joined the organization and became a real estate enterprise CEO worth hundreds of millions, but after doing something against the organization, within a month, they went from a billionaire to a street beggar, falling into obscurity.”
Pausing, Hao Yunyang continued: “Organization members are roughly divided into formal members, county-level liaison officers, prefecture-level liaison officers, and so on. The highest level is the organization’s leader, and the organization’s purpose is simple: to strive for China’s rise!”
“Why are you telling me this?!” Chen Siwei did not doubt Hao Yunyang’s words, nor the grand purpose he described, because the technical materials Hao Yunyang had produced had dispelled all his concerns. Now, he only wanted to know why Hao Yunyang had found him.
“Starting from April last year,” Hao Yunyang began to fabricate: “You have been a target for the organization to recruit members. From April last year, your every move has been within the organization’s assessment scope…”
“You monitored me?!” Chen Siwei’s eyes widened, anger rising.
“Any organization member undergoes an assessment period before recruitment, lasting from one or two months to one or two years,” Hao Yunyang directly ignored Chen Siwei’s anger and continued: “Your first assessment period failed, the second period failed, until recently, the third reassessment, you finally passed the organization’s evaluation, so I came.”
“I’m not interested in an organization that casually violates personal privacy,” Chen Siwei’s voice turned cold: “Please leave.”
“Hehe, I can leave,” Hao Yunyang narrowed his eyes: “But you must take responsibility for what you now know.”
“Ridiculous!” Chen Siwei snorted coldly: “I haven’t agreed to Jiuxiao’s invitation, nor do I have the leisure to leak Jiuxiao’s secrets. Why do I need to take responsibility?”
“That’s not the key point,” Hao Yunyang smiled: “The key is, you now know of the organization’s existence. To ensure the organization’s secrecy, anyone who knows of the organization has only two choices: either join and enjoy numerous benefits, or refuse and face endless troubles. Consider carefully. I won’t say more.”
Standing up from the chair, a subtle smile crossed Hao Yunyang’s face. He walked around the dining table towards the private room door. At this moment, Hao Yunyang could not hesitate. He needed to display Jiuxiao’s presence – joining is your blessing, and while he won’t force you, you must be prepared to bear the consequences!
Chen Siwei was not a fool, so Hao Yunyang did not believe his talk of personal privacy. A businessman is still a businessman, even if he later became a so-called environmental protection giant!
Wait a moment! Just as Hao Yunyang was about to reach for the door latch and leave, Chen Siwei finally couldn’t hold back and called out to Hao Yunyang, turning his head: “Can you tell me more about the organization’s situation?”
“Hehe.” Hao Yunyang laughed openly at Chen Siwei’s behavior, withdrawing his hand from the door latch and turning to sit in the chair next to Chen Siwei at the dining table, looking at him with a smile: “You don’t need to know that much. When you reach the appropriate level, you’ll naturally know what you should know. Before reaching that level, it’s best not to ask about things you shouldn’t know.”
“What does the organization need me to do?” Chen Siwei took a deep breath and asked slowly.
“Nothing for you to do.” Hao Yunyang laughed heartily, “The organization is just a loose group. As long as you follow the organization’s resource allocation and tasks that don’t go against its principles, you can get a lot from the organization.” Chen Siwei’s heartbeat subtly increased.
“For example, these dozen or so technical resources right in front of you,” Hao Yunyang said with a smile. “But before using them, you must write a written report to me, explaining the scope of use, which I’ll then submit upwards. Once approved, you can obtain these technologies for free. However, the premise is that you cannot take any actions that betray the organization. Otherwise, I can responsibly tell you that if you make the organization uneasy, the organization will make you uncomfortable.”
After saying this, Hao Yunyang stood up from the chair again, patting Chen Siwei’s shoulder with heartfelt advice: “So, think carefully about things. As long as you consider the organization’s interests, the organization will do its best to protect your interests. Let’s get to know each other.”
Hao Yunyang extended his hand to Chen Siwei: “I’m Hao Yunyang, from Chengdu, a county-level liaison for the Jiuxiao Organization. I’m also your direct supervisor. If you need the organization’s help with anything, you can contact me directly. And if the organization has something for you to do, I’ll contact you directly.”
“Vertical architecture?” Chen Siwei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly blurted out these four words. Hao Yunyang was stunned for a moment before smiling and nodding: “Vertical architecture!”
Hao Yunyang left the hotel with Wang Shiyu following him.
About three minutes after Hao Yunyang and Wang Shiyu left, the private room door was pushed open, and Fan Lirong entered with a black handbag, sitting down next to Chen Siwei. Looking at Chen Siwei, who was sitting there with a furrowed brow and silent, Fan Lirong asked softly: “What did he tell you?”
“He said…” Chen Siwei didn’t hide anything and told Fan Lirong everything Hao Yunyang had said, then asked: “What do you think about the authenticity of this?”
“Have you looked through the technical materials he gave you?” Fan Lirong thought for a moment and asked calmly.
“Yes,” Chen Siwei nodded, “Although many important details are vague in these technical materials, from the content alone, even if they haven’t completed all the projects, they are definitely ahead of us!”
“How much time and money did you spend researching these technical projects?” Fan Lirong pondered, quickly connecting the dots in her mind.
“Eight years,” Chen Siwei took a deep breath, “with nearly 2 billion yuan invested. You’re well aware of this.”
“Eight years, 2 billion yuan,” Fan Lirong said with a calm expression, “If it were you, would you willingly provide these materials to someone else for free?”
“Of course not!” Chen Siwei immediately rejected the possibility, then his eyes brightened: “You mean…”
Fan Lirong used her logical reasoning to analyze the situation: “These technical achievements are precious. No one would casually provide such valuable things to outsiders for free. You’re now a formal member of this Jiuxiao Organization, so contact Hao Yunyang to request the material decomposition technology materials. If he can actually produce these materials and hand them over to you readily…”
“Then what?”
