The technology from Wa Island is simply not worth mentioning!
Wang Yu's words conveyed immense confidence, even bordering on arrogance.
If an outsider were present, they would undoubtedly sigh in amazement.
This young man, unaware of the vastness of the world, dared to boast that he looked down upon Wa Island's technology!
What a joke! Even established nations, even Sam Nation, which claimed to be the world's best, would hardly dare to utter such arrogant words!
Wa Island, in terms of industrial and economic strength, was undeniably the second strongest in the world. Naturally, they had their advantages.
And Wang Yu, this young man, directly dismissed Wa Island's technology? Who did he think he was?
However, everyone present, be it Wu Lingling or Qian Guotao standing nearby, showed no surprise.
This was because Wang Yu had proven, time and again, that whatever he said, no matter how outrageous or arrogant it seemed, would ultimately prove to be an absolutely credible fact!
Yu Chengyang also didn't say much more, but instead patted Wang Yu's shoulder with encouragement.
"Excellent, that's the spirit! Young people need to be energetic and confident!
I've heard about this matter. I don't need to tell you too much. Just go ahead and do your best with confidence!
Wa Island's engine embargo has indeed had a significant impact, causing many people to secretly plot against you and resort to underhanded tactics.
But remember this: the authorities always uphold fairness and justice, and you can trust them! You don't need to worry about them retaliating against you in that regard!
As for the private commercial dealings of those factories and enterprises, that will depend on you!
Of course, we are also very much hoping to see some pleasant surprises from you!"
Hearing Yu Chengyang's words, which were almost a guarantee, Wang Yu's confidence soared.
This was essentially saying that the government would be completely impartial, and the rest was up to him!
Furthermore, the authorities had expectations of Wang Yu. After all, being held hostage by Wa Island and having their interests exploited, how could they not be displeased?
This was the best outcome. Everyone was on a fair starting line. If he still couldn't compete, Wang Yu felt he might as well go home and sleep.
"Alright, please rest assured! I will definitely make a brilliant showing and earn respect!"
Wang Yu nodded with great confidence.
...
Half an hour later, after bidding farewell to Governor Yu Chengyang and Qian Guotao, Wang Yu and his companions completed their statement at the police station and were soon free to leave.
With so many parties coordinating for their bail, and with Governor Yu Chengyang personally intervening, and Wang Yu being the victim who hadn't committed any egregious acts, the police naturally let Wang Yu and his group go without further ado.
As for the numerous calls urging them to delay, unfortunately, they wanted to delay too, but the individuals involved had truly done nothing wrong. They couldn't simply bend the law, could they?
Therefore, after completing their statements, Wang Yu and his group left the police station directly.
However, Zhou Qiming and his group on the other side were not so lucky.
Gathering a crowd to cause trouble in a public place was an offense that required investigation!
What? You want them released quickly? That's impossible. All these over a hundred people need to be thoroughly investigated!
In response, Zhou Qiming and his group were utterly indignant. Why could Wang Yu leave immediately while they had to remain?
Some of them even glared at Wang Yu's departing figure and let out angry, resentful roars.
"Why can he leave first?"
The response from the police officers was a round of eye-rolls.
"Do you have any idea what you've done? Making a scene in public, crying, making a fuss, and claiming over a hundred people were beaten by a dozen? How dare you! Do you think we're all idiots, or are you yourselves idiots?
Want to get out early? That's possible! Cooperate with the investigation, and then if you have as many influential figures to bail you out as Wang Yu does, you can leave too."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiming and his group were dumbfounded. Influential figures bailing them out? This wasn't what they had agreed on! Weren't they supposed to be the bait, to lure Wang Yu and themselves into the police station to stay for ten days to half a month?
Now they were indeed inside, but Wang Yu had taken a detour and left. His rear end probably hadn't even warmed the seat, right?
...
Leaving the police station, Wang Yu and his companions returned to the guesthouse. Before they could even catch their breath, a messenger delivered an invitation.
"Tomorrow, nine o'clock, a gathering at Hailan Hotel."
The invitation was meticulously crafted on gold-edged cardstock, bearing a single line of text.
And at the bottom, where the inviter's name should be, was a dense string of names.
"The news travels fast. I've just come out, and the invitation has already arrived."
Wang Yu shook his head slightly as he looked at the invitation, then greeted Han Jun, Brother Hu, and the others. "Today has been quite exhausting. You all should go back and rest."
After sending his subordinates away, Wu Lingling leaned in and saw the invitation in Wang Yu's hand.
"Hailan Hotel? Isn't that the five-star hotel we went to before? The one where I competed with my brother's team of experts?"
Wu Lingling murmured, then looked at the many names on the invitation.
Guanghui Automobile Factory, Beifeng Automobile Factory, Nanwan Automobile Factory, Tianma Automobile Factory, Longchuan Automobile Factory...
Northern Machinery Company, Golden Sun Shipyard, Ironworks Group... the representatives?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Should I praise you or pity you? They're all major domestic automobile and machinery companies and factories."
Wu Lingling casually stuffed the invitation back into Wang Yu's embrace, shaking her head helplessly.
"Naturally, you should praise me. Being invited to dine by the heads of so many major enterprises and factories is something that brings great honor and can be boasted about for a long time!" Wang Yu chuckled proudly.
"As my closest partner, shouldn't you feel honored by association?"
"I think I should feel sympathetic! So many big shots inviting you to dinner together, don't you have any idea why?"
Wu Lingling rolled her clear, bright eyes at Wang Yu.
"Isn't it because of Wa Island's engine embargo? Aren't you afraid they'll band together to crush you?"
"They will definitely band together, but it will be to beg me," Wang Yu said with a playful smile. Then, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby, he pulled out a crumpled, folded piece of paper from his embrace.
"Take a look at this."
"What is this... You really are wicked!"
Wu Lingling looked at the crumpled, old piece of paper in her hand and suddenly pointed at Wang Yu, laughing and scolding him.
