Chapter 2990: Uneasy Minds

The entire city descended into complete chaos; this battle instilled an intense sense of crisis among the city’s residents.

They had always lived in peace, and even the younger generation would feel fear at the sight of blood.

But for Ye Luo, battles of this level were just routine.

Arriving at the entrance of Tong Yao Group’s building, he retracted his mecha and led Fang Fang inside.

“President Ye! The group is currently under lockdown, external personnel are not allowed inside the group premises, please understand!”

At that moment, a staff member stopped Ye Luo, apologetically.

Ye Luo knew it was certainly the aftermath of that earlier battle.

“Let’s do this, you settle here in the resting area first; it’s not too late to leave once things stabilize!” Ye Luo suggested to Fang Fang.

Right now, it’s unclear what potential dangers might lurk in the city, letting her go out alone would surely be unsafe.

Besides, this battle will trigger a chain reaction; many would seize the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

Fang Fang nodded blankly; what she just witnessed had truly frightened her, leaving her somewhat dazed.

After settling Fang Fang, Ye Luo headed straight to Tong Yao’s office.

However, upon reaching the office, she was nowhere to be seen.

“President Ye, President Tong is having an emergency meeting in conference room three. She couldn’t reach you earlier by phone and instructed me to wait here for your return, so you could head straight to the meeting room!”

A staff member quickly came over and explained.

Ye Luo then recalled that his phone had been damaged during the battle, and naturally, Tong Yao couldn’t contact him.

Now that he holds the position of branch president, he is also considered part of the group’s senior management; such a meeting merits his attendance!

Despite his reluctance to wade into this, he still went to conference room three.

Yet, this meeting was far more intense than Ye Luo had imagined.

This conference room three is the largest room in Tong Yao Group, occupying nearly an entire floor, and at this moment, the doors weren’t closed, as the heated discussions were audible to Ye Luo from outside.

Looking at the fully seated room, there were at least a hundred people!

It seems this is a gathering of all Tong Yao Group’s senior management.

Ye Luo curled his lips; he genuinely didn’t want to partake in such a chaotic state.

But just as he turned around, the head of the mecha department happened to walk over.

He paused for a moment, then quickly approached with a cheerful smile.

“President Ye, we had been trying to reach you before, didn’t expect to bump into you now; I just went back to get some documents, let’s quickly go inside for the meeting!”

Ye Luo shook his head with a smile, “Anyway, all the documents and the like are with you guys; whether I attend the meeting doesn’t really matter.”

The head promptly blocked Ye Luo’s path, “President, that won’t do; you’re the president, how could such an important meeting take place without you! Plus, our mecha department is now a key department of Tong Yao Group, all thanks to your efforts!”

Ye Luo indeed admired this head, who was determined to explain a long list of reasons to him.

“Alright! If you keep talking, the meeting will be over by then!” Ye Luo quickly interrupted him.

As they entered the meeting room, the hallway was already packed with people.

Yes, packed! Many attendees who arrived later could only stand here to listen to the meeting’s content.

Evidently, this conference room was a bit small, also Tong Yao Group values employees’ opinions; this time, numerous employee representatives were dispatched by the union, leading to the current situation.

At the front desk of the meeting room, Tong Yao along with several vice presidents and department presidents were patiently addressing questions, or rather, they were soothing the emotions of these senior officials and employees.

After all, the most frightened by this crisis in the city were undoubtedly the high-level executives of various enterprises.

They lived in the most comfortable conditions in this city, and they were the most afraid of changing the current situation.

“President, we all want to know, with the disaster in the city, what protective measures does Tong Yao Group have!” asked a senior official.

Tong Yao chuckled lightly, “Our Tong Yao Group is a leading player in the military industry, and our robotic combat power is the strongest! I believe if Tong Yao Group is unsafe, other enterprises would have already perished!”

Everyone understood this point, but in the current situation, such empty rhetoric was insufficient to ease them.

Tong Yao naturally understood this, sighed, “We intend to deploy twenty percent of our robots to safeguard the group’s headquarters! Additionally, we will open all employee dormitories until this crisis is over!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the turmoil in the meeting room finally calmed somewhat.

However, the several vice presidents and branch presidents on stage sighed.

Tong Yao simplified the statement, but this presented a considerable financial and manpower burden for the group.

Under the present circumstances, it’s a necessary move.

“President, it’s said that the combat robots in this battle far surpassed the standard of our group’s robots! In that case, only our mechas can withstand those robots, right! What’s the extent of our mecha department’s construction?” another senior official asked.

“That’s classified for now; we can’t disclose it!” Tong Yao immediately replied.

In this situation, naturally, all eyes were on the mecha department; only mechas could resist those advanced Ultra Combat Robots.

“Look, isn’t that President Ye from the mecha department?”

Before Tong Yao could respond, someone suddenly shouted.

Instantly, almost all eyes turned towards Ye Luo’s direction.

They happened to see Ye Luo and the head wedged in the middle of the crowd.

Seeing this, Ye Luo felt a bit helpless; initially, he wanted to keep a low profile, otherwise, how could the crowd block him, he could just leap forward into the front!

Or use a spell, he could stealthily get through, but to him, that’s quite a boring thing.

“It really is President Ye! And the head of the department! It’s perfect timing for you to give us an overview of the mecha department!”

“We’ve heard President Ye can perfectly integrate with the mecha; is it true? Or is it just to grab attention?”

“With the looming crisis, is President Ye going to integrate with the mecha to exert pressure on those causing the crisis?”

Immediately, various voices of doubt and questions followed one after another.

Obviously, the crowd’s emotions were stirred once again.
