"I think you can ask me for help, hmm, help from outside the game."
Wang Yu's slightly teasing voice sounded in everyone's ears, instantly causing the air to freeze.
Everyone first fell into silence, and then Mu Yuntao erupted into a burst of laughter.
"What did I just hear?"
While picking his ear, Mu Yuntao sneered, "I actually heard someone say he could complete this impossible task? Are you crazy, or is my ear playing tricks on me?"
Mu Yuntao laughed arrogantly, and his subordinates quickly followed suit, afraid of displeasing their boss if they were late.
"You idiot, do you know what you're saying?"
Wu Lingling couldn't help but reach out, intending to pinch Wang Yu's ear.
"Hey, hey, give me some face."
Wang Yu awkwardly slapped away Wu Lingling's hand and then said with a serious and earnest expression, "I'm serious, maybe I can really help you!"
"Hey, are you crazy? Don't butt in on things you don't understand!" Wu Lingling was almost driven mad. This idiot Wang Yu, who was usually so sharp, why was he so clueless now?
Didn't he think he had shown enough to the Mu family? Was he afraid they wouldn't have time to casually crush him?
"Wang Yu, we appreciate your kindness." Wu Yongping said solemnly, while also trying to persuade Wang Yu, "But this is Qinglu Group's business, and you don't need to get involved rashly. If you get involved, the ten billion contract compensation will also be on your shoulders!
We'll have to sell everything we own to come up with this money, and we absolutely cannot let Lingling fall into a trap! As for you... it's best not to court disaster!"
Wu Yongping advised Wang Yu with a tone of heartfelt sincerity and a hint of finality.
"Heh? Sell everything we own? That's ten billion Sam coins in compensation, not island currency!"
Mu Yuntao interjected again at the opportune moment, "How much liquid capital do you have in your accounts? Even if you sell off assets to scrape together the amount, do you think a company group with a broken capital chain and internal emptiness can still survive?"
"..."
Wu Yongping and Wu Lingling's faces turned as dark as if water could drip from them. It was indeed true.
Even if they managed to scrape together the funds, the aftermath of a broken capital chain would be a complete collapse, with no room for struggle!
"Hahahaha!"
Mu Yuntao burst into laughter again, then sized up Wang Yu.
"Honestly, you should just listen to Wu Yongping and not meddle in things that don't concern you!
Or, perhaps, if you come over, kowtow a few times, bark like a dog, and beg for mercy by calling me Grandpa a few times, I might be in a better mood and let you go."
Mu Yuntao said arrogantly, which drew a serious expression from Wang Yu.
"Are you serious?"
"What, are you considering accepting? Maybe I'll think about it!"
Mu Yuntao continued to laugh maniacally.
"No, I just want to remind you that you want me to bark like a dog and call you Grandpa. That's a paradox. Even if I dared to bark, would you dare to accept it?"
Uh!
Mu Yuntao's maniacal laughter came to an abrupt halt, like a rooster whose neck had been caught.
"Boss, he's indirectly calling you a dog!" Another subordinate whispered to Mu Yuntao.
"Nonsense, do I need you to repeat that to me?"
Mu Yuntao was furious and directly ordered his subordinate to be dragged away.
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, Mu Yuntao sneered again, "I won't argue with you. Who do you think you are? Some country bumpkin who crawled out of a forgotten corner, thinking you're someone important?
I want to see now how you plan to turn the tide!"
After Mu Yuntao finished speaking, he let out a cold snort.
"Let's go!"
Then, a group of subordinates quickly followed him, turning and leaving in a procession.
Watching the Mu family members depart, Wu Lingling stomped her foot and looked at Wang Yu, "You idiot, why did you have to come and stir things up? Do you think your head is made of iron?"
"If I didn't come, would I just watch you marry him? Or do you want to marry into the Mu family?"
Wang Yu said with a chuckle.
"Nonsense! How could I willingly marry that effeminate pretty boy Mu Qingying?"
Wu Lingling was furious.
"Alright, now that's the partner I know. Your earlier gentle and sentimental Lin sister act didn't suit you at all," Wang Yu said with a smile, which earned him a roar of anger from Wu Lingling.
"Go to hell, are you saying I'm not feminine?"
She kicked Wang Yu hard in the shin. The force of the kick suggested she had recovered some of her mood.
"Alright, stop fooling around."
Wang Yu reached out to stop Wu Lingling, then turned to look at Wu Yongping, who had been frowning silently.
"Wang Yu! I didn't expect our second meeting to be under such circumstances," Wu Yongping sighed slightly, then looked at Wang Yu with a tone of seriousness and helplessness, "You really shouldn't have gotten involved."
"Actually, you listen to me..." Wang Yu started to speak, but was directly interrupted by Wu Yongping.
"I know you want to help us, and your intentions are good, but this is something you can't possibly handle. My father is currently working in Sam to seek various connections, hoping that Star Shipbuilding Factory will show some leniency. Only then will we have a sliver of hope."
"A sliver of hope? You say that nicely. They can get more by taking us over, so why would they show leniency just because of Dad's efforts?"
Wu Lingling said grumpily.
"Actually, my..."
"I know you're upset too, but there's nothing we can do about this kind of thing. In any case, I will never let my sister be thrown into a fiery pit. Even if I..."
Wu Yongping was about to say more, but Wang Yu grabbed his arm.
"I said, can you guys listen to me for a moment?"
Wang Yu sighed helplessly, "Maybe I can really help you! If the other party's demand is really just large-scale, low-tech parts processing."
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
Wu Yongping and Wu Lingling were both stunned and quickly asked.
"Do you remember Old An's automated production line?"
Wang Yu turned to look at Wu Lingling.
"I remember. Didn't you modify his blueprints and recruit him under your banner?"
Wu Lingling replied, then seemed to realize something and became excited, "Are you saying he's already completed that automated production line?"
"No, he hasn't."
Wang Yu's words immediately deflated Wu Lingling.
"However, he didn't finish it, but I did."
Wang Yu's next sentence made Wu Lingling jump up.
