Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Old Huang left with Meng Chuan's tablet.

Meng Chuan sat quietly alone in Huang Lao's study, waiting.

Less than half an hour later, a man in military uniform came in and gave Meng Chuan a military salute.

Then he handed Meng Chuan a random encrypted phone.

Meng Chuan took the phone; it was Old Huang's voice:

"When you are summoned, your guards will escort you directly to the side gate of the Hall of Diligent Governance. Remember, do not use the main gate. Do not let your people follow you."

Meng Chuan never travels alone.

This time, when they arrived at Old Huang's courtyard house, Yingdie became invisible.

Old Master Huang can allow this.

But entering the palace is out of the question.

Someone will definitely follow.

Meng Chuan, of course, knew the gravity of the situation and ordered Ying Die to lead her men to retreat.

He followed the guards alone to the Hall of Diligent Governance.

The threshold of the Hall of Diligent Governance was two inches higher than usual, and when Meng Chuan stepped in, a solemn atmosphere immediately enveloped him.

Even though Meng Chuan was used to seeing great things, he still felt very small and insignificant here.

Old Huang was already waiting for Meng Chuan at the door.

Old Huang led Meng Chuan inside and whispered some important instructions to him.

After all, this is not a place that ordinary people can enter.

It is not a place where ordinary people can act recklessly.

Meng Chuan's actions here might seem illogical, and could potentially lead to extremely serious consequences.

Meng Chuan listened quietly, but also secretly kept it in mind.

You'll meet at a huge meeting place, where many people are already waiting.

The elderly man in the main seat was looking down at the documents.

A dozen or so military leaders fixed their sharp gazes on Meng Chuan.

If Meng Chuan hadn't possessed ancient martial arts skills, an ordinary person would probably have trouble even walking down the street in the face of such a gaze.

“Here I come.”

The old man in the main seat raised his head and looked at Meng Chuan with a warm smile.

"Sit down, Meng Chuan."

Meng Chuan's slightly tense heart calmed down a bit.

As soon as he sat down, the old man spoke again:

"Don't be nervous. You are a pillar of our Dragon Kingdom. Although you don't hold any official position, your outstanding contributions to our Dragon Kingdom are no less than those of us!"

Actually, it was back during the stock market crash years ago.

The elderly man had already begun to pay attention to Meng Chuan.

Or more accurately, when Meng Chuan got a perfect score on the college entrance exam.

The elderly man had already watched Meng Chuan's interview video.

He has always been quite optimistic about Meng Chuan.

However, everything Meng Chuan did afterward was far beyond his expectations.

Therefore, the old man was truly gratified to see Meng Chuan at this moment.

"I dare not. I am a part of the Dragon Kingdom. It was this land that nurtured me. It is only right and proper for me to repay my country. I dare not take credit for it."

We still need to say some polite words.

Moreover, this is indeed the truth.

If it weren't for the relevant departments' "indulgence" of Meng Chuan, he would never have reached the heights he has today.

Of course, this is also something that Meng Chuan himself has always been doing, which benefits the country and its people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't deserve such "indulgence".

"Indeed, neither arrogant nor impatient. If all the youths of my Dragon Kingdom had your awareness, how could we not prosper?"

The old man said with certainty, then went straight to the point:

"Old Huang has told us everything, and we've all watched the video. What are you planning to do?"

Actually, it wasn't just the elderly who wanted to know Meng Chuan's thoughts.

Everyone present wanted to know.

Because many advanced technologies are in Meng Chuan's hands.

Moreover, each time they had already made contact with the "observer".

Therefore, Meng Chuan's ideas are very important.

Meng Chuan stood up and said solemnly:

"First, the Mars base must immediately halt civilian projects and convert all production lines to produce pulse rifles."

"Secondly, the quantum laboratory in the City of Dreams for Entrepreneurship needs the joint efforts of scientists from all over the world, and we must crack their technology."

Third, reveal part of the truth to the public—

"public?"

Before Meng Chuan could finish speaking, the old man in the main seat sighed softly and said:

"Do you know that during last year's floods in southern China, the mere news of 'potential dike breaches' forced people in three counties to rush across bridges overnight and break them?"

His voice was flat, but there was a sense of weariness in it:

"If you told them now that aliens are coming to enslave Earth in a year, how many people do you think would block the supermarket entrance with kitchen knives?"

Meng Chuan's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't say anything.

Indeed, human nature has always been like this.

Once made public, the resulting panic will absolutely throw the whole world into chaos ahead of time.

"And the United States."

A hint of helplessness flickered in the old man's eyes:

"We have never considered the United States as an enemy, but the United States has never given up its determination to contain us."

"If you say you want to 'integrate global scientific research forces' now, will they believe you? They'd probably have to send the US aircraft carrier stationed in Japan to our strait overnight."

The old man's words silenced Meng Chuan.

He really didn't think that much.

I just feel that at a time when humanity is facing life and death, everyone should put aside all prejudices.

The old man looked at Meng Chuan, his tone calm yet weighty:

"Based on this video alone, we might believe you, but what about other countries? The United States has become increasingly wary of us in recent years. If you talk about 'integrating global power,' won't they think we're trying to use this opportunity to expand our influence?"

Meng Chuan felt a sense of helplessness.

"And the general public."

The old man continued:

"What can they do besides causing panic by revealing the truth? Pick up hoes and fight aliens?"

He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes:

"If the outcome is indeed the destruction of civilization, it is better to let people spend their last days in peace than to let them suffer in panic."

"But……"

Meng Chuan said urgently:

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

"Who said we're just going to sit here and wait to die?"

The old man suddenly laughed, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes:

"Meng Chuan, have you forgotten what you've done all these years?"

The old man's voice was strong and clear:

"With you in charge, the rocket company's starship technology is world-leading, the quantum computer in the startup dream city is unmatched, and the biotechnology of Fuxing University is unparalleled in the world."

"Looking at the world, in the field of science and technology, which country can compare with our Dragon Country?"

"Who else is qualified to cooperate with our Dragon Kingdom?"

The elderly people inside the hall laughed, but there was no trace of panic in their smiles.

Only composure after weathering storms.

Looking at them, Meng Chuan's panic miraculously subsided considerably.

It turns out he had been too naive.

Unbeknownst to many, China has already risen to the top of the world.

"Meng Chuan".

The old man's tone suddenly became solemn, and his eyes became extremely serious:

"From this day forward, I hereby appoint you as the 'Dragon Guardian General'."

Meng Chuan looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.

"You can freely use all of the Dragon Kingdom's resources, personnel, weapons, and research institutions."

The old man's voice was firm and resonant, echoing throughout the Hall of Diligent Governance:

"In this battle to defend human civilization, the Dragon Kingdom reveres you. When you say you want to produce weapons, the military-industrial complex fully cooperates; when you say you want to crack the technology, all research institutes obey your command."

He walked up to Meng Chuan and patted him on the shoulder:

“We may not be able to defeat them, but the Dragon Kingdom will never let human civilization perish without a fight. Go ahead and do it; the entire Dragon Kingdom is backing you up.”
