Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Liu Xuan immediately checked the name in first place.

First Place: United Pharmaceutical

No scores were announced, nor was the final determined Weight explained.

Only the permanent council members behind each respective corporation could know the relevant data.

As long as the permanent council members raised no objections, this list possessed absolute credibility.

Any corporation that wanted to continue operating in the Asian Administrative Region had to accept the permanent council members’ decision.

"Lin Qi, we did it."

Liu Xuan’s voice trembled slightly as she looked into Lin Qi’s eyes.

Her gaze revealed the intense turmoil in her heart.

Even the purple light emanating from her left prosthetic eye was fluctuating at a high frequency, flickering like a distant star.

"Yes, United Pharmaceutical did it."

Lin Qi was also deeply moved. It had been less than half a month since United Pharmaceutical was founded, yet they had already come so far.

With the first-place ranking from the summit, United Pharmaceutical’s future development speed would be staggering to all.

It likely wouldn’t be long before United Pharmaceutical could obtain a major corporation license certified by the Big Business Alliance.

’And I’ll transform from a miserable corporate drone into a director of a major corporation.’

’Although I only have ten percent now, there’s still a stock incentive plan waiting for me at the company.’

’If I can get it all, plus the ten percent I already have, that would be a full forty percent of the shares.’

’Nothing beats reaping the rewards of a ready-made success.’

’Although on the surface, it looks a bit like I’m a freeloader...’

’But United Pharmaceutical wouldn’t be where it is today without my contributions. I was indispensable.’

’I have a clear conscience taking these shares.’

Amidst her excitement, Liu Xuan hadn’t forgotten what she promised Lin Qi.

"According to the summit’s rules, we should be able to acquire the Si Clan’s legacy—that S-Class Pharmacy literature. I’ll go ask the summit committee about it later."

Saying she would ask the committee actually meant she would ask the permanent council members.

A total of six permanent council members participated in this summit committee: the four behind the four old-guard corporations, plus Jin Yuanxi and Qiao Xi.

Liu Xuan planned to ask Jin Yuanxi.

Lin Qi nodded. The summit’s outcome was set, so the subsequent execution process shouldn’t be too difficult.

Establishing the rules and enforcing them was part of the unwritten code. No one would dare to rashly violate it.

...

In stark contrast to the joyous atmosphere at United Pharmaceutical...

...the two representatives from Kudou Human Body Engineering Company looked as if they were mourning their own parents.

Sixth place!

A glaring rank!

Their worst fears had come true.

Kudou Human Body Engineering Company had been completely knocked out of the top five, with fifth place being seized by the small enterprise, Rotor Pharmaceutical.

According to the summit’s rules, Kudou Human Body Engineering Company was about to suffer a devastating blow.

The Potion business was Kudou Human Body Engineering Company’s largest source of revenue.

They had massive numbers of employees and equipment running twenty-four hours a day.

Now, under the summit’s rules, Kudou Human Body Engineering Company’s upcoming resource allocation would likely not even be a quarter of what it was before.

The vast majority of the allocation would be swept up by the top five companies.

This was an ironclad rule established back when the Si Clan was still at the table.

It was hard to imagine what kind of punishment the two culprits responsible for all this would face upon returning to their company.

Even with the surname Kudou, there was no way they could save their own skins under these circumstances.

Committing seppuku to atone for their failure would be the most honorable end they could hope for.

While talking with Lin Qi, Liu Xuan subconsciously glanced over at the people from Kudou Human Body Engineering Company.

A sharp glint flashed in her right eye.

’Is this how it ends?’

’Impossible!’

What Kudou Human Body Engineering Company had done had crossed Liu Xuan’s bottom line.

Once the summit was over and she returned to Red Fruit City, Liu Xuan would surely launch even more ruthless measures against Kudou Human Body Engineering Company.

This wasn’t just about revenge; it was also about quickly tearing flesh from a wounded tiger to fuel United Pharmaceutical’s growth.

Although United Pharmaceutical seemed to have limitless potential now, it had yet to grow into a true major corporation.

Along this path, it was bound to face more trials and tribulations.

In addition, Liu Xuan also glanced at the two from Rotor Pharmaceutical, who were ranked much further down.

According to the newly signed contract, United Pharmaceutical also controlled fifty-one percent of Rotor Pharmaceutical’s shares.

And Rotor Pharmaceutical had, by some incredible stroke of luck, secured the fifth-place overall ranking.

This meant the resources Rotor Pharmaceutical would receive would be on the level of a major corporation.

A company of Rotor Pharmaceutical’s size couldn’t possibly absorb such a large resource allocation.

It would need help from United Pharmaceutical, and perhaps even Liu’s Heavy Industries, to digest these benefits.

At the same time, Liu Xuan believed that the other major corporations would not stand idly by and watch Rotor Pharmaceutical grow so quickly under United Pharmaceutical’s control.

If two cross-held companies like United Pharmaceutical and Rotor Pharmaceutical were allowed to develop smoothly, they would become two major, inseparable corporations, both entirely under Liu Xuan’s control.

Add Liu’s Heavy Industries to the mix, and that would be three!

If the three eventually merged, they would become a monster of a corporation.

Liu’s Heavy Industries was only considered upper-middle tier among major corporations.

But once a monster like this was born, it would be a top-tier major corporation.

To some extent, a monster corporation like that could hold dialogue on equal footing with entities of the permanent council member level of the Big Business Alliance.

As if sensing her gaze, Rotor Pharmaceutical’s helmsman didn’t react much, still immersed in the joy of a windfall dropping from the sky.

Xiao Gu, however, nodded first in acknowledgment, responding to Liu Xuan’s look.

The circular assembly hall was no place for discussion.

The future development of United Pharmaceutical and Rotor Pharmaceutical would have to be discussed later.

Regardless, Liu Xuan was now the de facto controller behind both companies.

The original helmsmen just had to hold onto their remaining shares and wait for the dividends to roll in.

"The two representatives from United Pharmaceutical, come with me to collect what is yours," Qiao Xi said suddenly.

What belonged to United Pharmaceutical.

It was, of course, the Si Clan’s legacy: the S-Class Pharmacy Literature!

Lin Qi and Liu Xuan exchanged a glance and immediately set off.

The people from Moore Potion, Dawn Pharmacy, and General Biological watched the backs of Lin Qi and Liu Xuan with complicated expressions.

Who could have imagined that the one to benefit the most in the end would be United Pharmaceutical!

One must remember, the Liu Clan behind United Pharmaceutical was supposed to be the one carved up and divided.

They couldn’t quite figure out how Liu Xingyuan’s daughter had managed to climb off the chopping block and take the head of the table in just a few short days.

...

Following Qiao Xi, Lin Qi and Liu Xuan arrived at the four-hundredth floor of the Alliance Mansion.

After reaching the four-hundredth floor, Qiao Xi didn’t speak further with Lin Qi and Liu Xuan, instead handing matters over to the Secretary-General of the summit committee.

"You two, I am the Secretary-General of this summit committee, as well as Permanent Council Member Qiao Xi’s personal assistant. You can just call me Secretary Qiao."

Lin Qi and Liu Xuan nodded in unison.

’Her surname is Qiao. She must have a close relationship with Qiao Xi, maybe even a relative.’

Liu Xuan simply maintained her usual respectful demeanor, but Lin Qi took a second look at the woman.

’Secretary Qiao?’

’Could this woman be the Capitalist?’

Lin Qi didn’t know if Qiao Xi herself was the Capitalist, but he was certain that the Capitalist had deep ties to Qiao Xi.

But Lin Qi wouldn’t make any moves to test her; he would just maintain his own disguise.

"Secretary Qiao, where do we go next?" Liu Xuan asked.

Secretary Qiao responded with a professional smile.

"Regarding the S-Class Pharmacy Literature controlled by the Si Clan, it was just transported from Greenfield City to Alliance City this morning, escorted by multiple joint security teams."

"Experts from Nanyun Potion, specially invited by the Council, have confirmed that the literature is authentic."

"However, the literature is temporarily being held in the Council Building. I suggest waiting for the Liu Clan’s security team to arrive before proceeding with the handover."

"Of course, if you insist, I can also arrange for an immediate handover."

Hearing this, Liu Xuan and Lin Qi naturally agreed.

This item was extremely valuable. It absolutely could not be transported rashly without a large number of A-Class or S-Class Implanters present.

"By the way, I heard before that the Si Clan’s helmsman and heir were captured by security teams. What will happen to them?"

Lin Qi hadn’t forgotten Si Ranran. He remembered the grudge from her repeated assassination attempts.

"According to the interrogation results, one of them is an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher, and the other has read the S-Class literature."

"Given the nature of the Si Clan’s crimes, and for the sake of confidentiality regarding the S-Class literature, all members of the Si Clan, including these two, will be handed over to the Alliance tribunal for judgment after the literature is successfully transferred."

"I believe they will most likely be sentenced to death, but the sentence will only be carried out after United Pharmaceutical possesses the capability to produce S-Class Potions."
