This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 261 - 145: Don’t Dare to Kill?

"Who is this..."

"Zhang Huaiyuan?" Before Li Ruoning could finish speaking, Sun Jing’an came in uninvited, his demeanor nonchalant.

Li Ruoning frowned, but then she saw Li Ming giving her a look, so she closed the door and left.

"I came here yesterday and was turned away, thinking he knew everything already," Sun Jing’an sat down, straightened his clothes, and without speaking to Li Ming first, turned to look at Zhang Huaiyuan, "I had no idea, Little Brother Li Ming didn’t know anything."

He chuckled, "Young people always trying to shoulder everything themselves, it’s a good habit."

"However, sometimes you need to know your own limits. Some things you can’t bear, nor should you touch."

Firing a shot while pointing elsewhere, interesting, Li Ming smiled.

Zhang Huaiyuan’s face reddened, unable to resist the provocation, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, "Old geezer..."

"You go out first," Li Ming said, pressing on Zhang Huaiyuan’s shoulder.

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, reined in his emotions, stood up silently, and walked out.

It seemed like only now did Sun Jing’an notice Li Ming, his face breaking into a smile: "Mr. Li, your name often resonates in my ears, and today we finally meet."

"You flatter me, Director Sun," Li Ming waved his hand, "I grew up hearing the name of Star Creation Company."

"Are you mocking me?" Sun Jing’an pointed at Li Ming and said with a helpless smile, "I’ve heard a little about the situation on Silver Grey Star; I can’t believe they went that far."

"You understand, someone like me who manages a division of Star Creation Company, in reality, just checks the reports every day; it’s impossible to keep track of everything."

"Far be it from me," Li Ming smirked.

"You’re too modest," Sun Jing’an pointed at his neck, "Nowadays, meeting you, I have to wear this thing."

"Ah, I can’t help it, everyone is paranoid, anyone could be a fire source; just the other day, a few fire sources tried to assassinate me," Li Ming said, spreading his hands as if helpless.

"Oh?" Sun Jing’an’s interest piqued, "Here, someone actually attempted to assassinate you?"

"Yes, scary, isn’t it?" Li Ming did not elaborate further, merely sighed:

"At such a sensitive time, Director Sun suddenly wanting to meet me, I was scared too."

Li Ming took a sip of water, then half-jokingly said, "So, I dared not meet you yesterday; I almost suspected you were a fire source too."

"Haha..." Sun Jing’an laughed heartily, his tone casual, "Waste such a fire source on assassinating you? That’d be too unworthy."

"I’ve come to bring you something good," Sun Jing’an tried to pick up a briefcase next to him.

However, because of the gene inhibitor, he failed to pick it up several times.

"Let me help you."

Seeing this, Li Ming helped him lift it onto the table, Sun Jing’an entered the password, opened it, and white mist swirled, pushing it towards Li Ming.

Li Ming raised an eyebrow, seeing a red irregular metal block, surrounded by flames, clearly Mother Ore grade.

"What do you mean by this, Director Sun?" Li Ming asked, puzzled.

"I heard Xunying Company presented a metal Mother Ore as a meeting gift; I also brought one, couldn’t appear weaker than them," Sun Jing’an chortled:

"While competition leads to progress, using Xunying Company to compete with us is somewhat disdainful." freeweɓnøvel~com

Sun Jing’an’s expression gradually became somber, turning neutral: "But I understand; after all, on Blue Star, among the cross-civilization large corporations, there are only a few except those monopoly giants, only they are somewhat considerable."

"I know there are some misunderstandings between us, due to some unfortunate mistakes, the misunderstandings are even more likely to expand."

"However, I think it’s time to stop, working with Xunying Company is not nearly as good as working with us."

Sun Jing’an crossed his legs, his gaze fell on Li Ming, confident.

He hadn’t taken Li Ming seriously at first; Li Ming’s potential was only at level eight, although not low, it wasn’t enough for him to put aside his pride and erase grievances.

Unless Li Ming came to make amends.

However, as the situation developed, the astonishing potential displayed by this man grew increasingly apparent, in mecha crafting, even capable of forming mecha with his bare hands.

The potential had reached a startling level sixteen.

Such an enemy should either be eliminated early or turned into a friend.

He was conflicted for a while, until Xunying Company stepped up to challenge him, even pulling out some clues from who knows where, nearly overthrowing him.

After much inquiry, he confirmed these clues came from Li Ming.

He then made up his mind to turn hostility into friendship with Li Ming.

However, he was also the victor this time, not a loser coming to make amends; he wanted Li Ming to recognize this.

As for the Mother Ore, it was a step for the young man; after all, being young, ambitious, and proud, he cared about face.

"Collaborate, but how?" Li Ming countered.

"Actually, it’s quite simple, just do for us what you did for Xunying Company," Sun Jing’an clasped his hands together, kindly said, "I also hope you help us soothe the people of Silver Grey Star."

"They’ve been misguided by Xunying Company, quite prejudiced against us."

"We will also fund and establish a gene association to treat Silver Grey disease."

"Have me backstab Silver Grey Star?" Li Ming smiled, half-joking, "If I do that, I seem to be getting cursed miserably."

"It’s just fleeting public opinion; they’ll forget in time, we’ll help suppress the media for you," Sun Jing’an was indifferent, "Do you still care what those people say? Your future won’t be limited to Blue Star."

Seeing Li Ming not speaking, just looking at him, Sun Jing’an slightly frowned, "Continuing this way benefits neither you nor Silver Grey Star; we just don’t want to be too harsh, not that we can’t."
