Henghai Tactical Weapons Group was substantial in size and business, so they should not renege on a deal over just one suit of tactical armor.
It's tough being a freeloader, and Chen Fei came from just an ordinary working-class family, utterly powerless and insignificant.
If people wanted to bully him, they would.
"Uh! No, that's not what I meant, what I mean is..."
Zhao Liandong hesitated, seemingly at a loss for words.
At the time of the bet, he naturally thought he was getting a bargain; 174 armed personnel in three types of land warfare individual tactical armor, teaching this naive young man a lesson; but the reality was a slap in the face, literally a slap in the face.
174 against 1, regardless of the outcome, numbers would become meaningless.
If he could just imagine a day in the life of young Chen Fei—missiles whizzing through the sky, jets and turboprop aircraft overwhelming the heavens, the roaring Dragon of Slaughter, and mutants carpeting the mountains under the shroud of night... None who survived such an environment could be simple; brawling was as commonplace as eating for them.
How could anyone possibly think he lacked so much Jianghu experience that he would neglect to specifically agree on the number of opponents in battle?
Fortunately, Henghai Tactical Weapons Group still had some face, otherwise they might have thrown in a thousand men in armor right off the bat, and even if they were a gang of pigs, it would be enough to wear Chen Fei down.
If Zhao Liandong had taken even a moment to further deepen his understanding, he would never have agreed to such a bet, but the situation was never that simple.
"What is it?"
Chen Fei slightly narrowed his eyes.
This old dodger is scheming something nice again!
"My point is, why not increase the stakes? After all, you're only looking to get a set of individual tactical armor, but with your skills, you could get much more; you, deserve the best."
Indeed, it took a capable person to be an executive vice president. In just a short moment, Zhao Liandong fabricated a reason so convincing he almost believed it himself.
It was crucial to fulfill the promise, or have a justifiable way to gloss over it.
As a vice president, he could recognize the debt, but passing the scrutiny of the board of directors was not that easy.
After all, individual tactical armor was not like a proportional model figurine from a toy store; it was an actual piece of military hardware, not something one could just sell or give away to the public on a whim.
Even if the other party was a military contractor authorized to possess lethal weapons, had it been approved by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee?
Military contractors are under strict control regarding the weapons they use, and equipment such as active-duty individual tactical armor,
Simply isn't listed on the purchasable equipment list allowed for military contractors.
Of course, personal ownership is another matter entirely—bringing one's own gear to the job is completely above board.
This brings us back to the restriction that civilians cannot own tactical weapons, creating a vicious cycle.
"No, I'm only interested in the aerial combat interceptor 'Flying Dragon'; I don't want the others!"
Chen Fei decisively refused.
It was clear what the other party was playing at, as obvious as fleas on a bald head, and he was well aware that greater benefits came with greater demands.
Tying himself to Henghai Tactical Weapons Group and then rightfully working for them, even if it meant getting a set of armor, would still be like the meat rotting in the pot—the gratuity still wouldn't flow into someone else's field.
After the plan fell through, Zhao Liandong did not show a disappointed expression but instead said earnestly, "Uh! I will do my utmost to help you acquire it, after all, the corporation isn't just mine."
A promise from the executive vice president is as good as the emperor's word—he must act upon it. Fang Lou, the vice president in charge of personnel and ideological work, looked at Zhao Liandong in surprise and said, "Wow, Old Zhao, are you serious?"
"You better think it through, getting a complete set of the 'Flying Dragon' tactical armor is no joke!"
The vice president in charge of the production line and quality control, Song Wenshan, was keenly observing Chen Fei's reaction.
After all, it was a bet worth hundreds of millions of Star Yuan. Against ordinary folk, they could bully without restraint.
In business transactions, breach of contract clauses are always present, especially with verbal agreements.
Chen Fei didn't seem to care and said, "If anyone feels offended or wants to challenge me, come on over and fight me!"
"That's true!"
Having once seen Henghai Tactical Weapons Group's armed personnel focus fire with various automatic firearms on the three-dimensional real-view big screen, and yet her brother remained unscathed amidst the barrage, Chen Meng's mood immediately lifted.
If anyone has a problem, just go and give my brother a beating—to death's door!
System: Ding! Successfully obtained a piece of individual tactical armor manufactured by Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, energy points +1000!
Energy Points: 1000/10000
"We got it!"
Chen Fei's eyebrows slightly raised.
The Dog System somehow got wind of the news and declared the mission accomplished.
Chen Meng asked puzzledly, "Got what?"
She looked around, but didn't notice anything unusual.
"Tactical armor in hand!"
Chen Fei chose to believe.
"Huh?"
Ding-ding-ding...
Chen Fei's phone rang, and he answered it.
"Hello, Chen Fei, I have some good news."
The voice of Vice President Zhao Liandong came through.
"Is it about that 'Flying Dragon' interceptor type being mine now, right?"
Chen Fei did not give the other party a chance to tease, bursting the bubble himself.
Zhao Liandong replied annoyedly, "Ah, ah, ah, you spoilsport! How did you know?"
"Guess?"
By not letting the other party tease and taking the lead, Chen Fei made Zhao Liandong's face turn quite sour.
Guess?
Guess what?
The amount of information here was somewhat overwhelming.
There must be a mole inside Henghai Tactical Weapons Group leaking information clandestinely.
Otherwise, how could such crucial news leak out in advance?
There must be a mole inside Henghai Tactical Weapons Group; otherwise, how could such critical news leak out accidentally? Could the spy be among the board of directors?
