Chapter 257 Everything is a conspiracy

After Wang Yang's entrepreneurial story was made public, his fame soared and he became an inspirational idol in the Southern Islands and even the whole country.

From starting from scratch to becoming a rising star in the business world, his legendary experience has inspired countless young people with dreams.

Many entrepreneurs regard him as a role model, hoping to replicate his path to success.

However, along with fame comes endless covetousness and calculation.

One day, Wang Yang received a strange phone call. The caller claimed to be a senior executive of a well-known consortium and invited Wang Yang to a private business reception.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Our consortium has always admired your achievements, especially your brilliant achievements in the field of aerospace." The man spoke sincerely, but his voice was slightly cold. "I wonder if you are interested in conducting in-depth business cooperation with us?"

Wang Yang was not interested in this mysterious invitation. His many years of entrepreneurial experience had made him instinctively wary of such blatant overtures.

"I'm sorry, but I have a lot of important matters to attend to at the company recently. I'm afraid I can't spare the time to come." He declined politely, "But thank you for your kindness."

"Mr. Wang, you are so polite." The other party did not seem discouraged. "Our cocktail party has gathered many elites from all walks of life. Without you, wouldn't it be overshadowed? Besides, we have another important news to announce at that time. I believe you will not want to miss it."

"Breaking news? What news?" Wang Yang asked curiously.

"Haha, Mr. Wang is really smart." The man kept the secret, "If I tell you now, there will be no suspense, right? Anyway, don't worry, it's definitely worth the money! Don't forget to keep the appointment when the time comes."

After saying that, he left a contact address and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Wang Yang was puzzled. He felt that this enthusiasm was strange, but he couldn't explain why.

After asking for advice to no avail, he decided to ask the company's veteran Jiang Liangliang. Jiang Liangliang was knowledgeable and well-connected in the business world, so he might be able to give some advice.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his story, Jiang Liangliang's face suddenly became solemn.

"Brother Yang, I advise you not to attend that cocktail party." She said in a serious tone, "I'm afraid that mysterious consortium has no good intentions."

"So, you know something about them?" Wang Yang asked.

Jiang Liangliang nodded: "They have always had a bad reputation in the industry. On the surface, they are engaged in investment, but their methods are always sophisticated. Many companies have fallen apart because of their involvement. It is said that they have political and business backers behind them. They are usually elusive, but once they set their sights on something, they will do whatever it takes."

"Then why did they suddenly come to me?" Wang Yang wondered.

"Why else? We're going for the space elevator." Jiang Liangliang hit the nail on the head. "That's the most cutting-edge and valuable black technology of this era. Whoever can control it will have the lifeline to space. Brother Yang, you must not be careless."

Wang Yang woke up as if from a dream. He recalled the efforts he and his team had made for the space elevator, and thought of the origin of the mysterious consortium, and his heart was suddenly filled with alarm.

"It seems I have to be extra careful this time." He thought to himself, "I can't let the space elevator fall into their hands no matter what!"

Just when Wang Yang was worried about this matter, a new situation arose in the company.

Recently, some discordant voices have begun to ferment among employees. Some people accused Wang Yang of focusing on the research and development of the space elevator while neglecting to improve the working environment and welfare benefits of employees. What's worse, some people spread rumors that Wang Yang was only pursuing personal fame and fortune and didn't care about the lives of his subordinates.

When Wang Yang heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Over the years, he has treated his employees with kindness and justice. A large part of the company's profits have been invested in optimizing the office environment and increasing wages and bonuses. The reason why it is not satisfactory is entirely because the space elevator is really expensive, so some expenses have to be cut.

Wang Yang could understand the dissatisfaction of the employees. After all, this project had a long cycle, high difficulty, and slow results, which inevitably made people impatient. But the current rumors were a bit too much.

"Boss, I always feel like someone is playing tricks in the company." Scott analyzed solemnly, "The mood changes of the employees came too suddenly. I'm afraid someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes."

"Could it be the mysterious consortium mentioned before? They are still around and this time they want to use the strategy of sowing discord to disintegrate our team?" Wang Yang seemed to be thinking.

"I think it's pretty close." Scott nodded. "Although their trick is old-fashioned, it really works among ordinary employees. After all, not everyone can see the big picture, and being too demanding will not help."

"So in your opinion, what should we do most right now?" Wang Yang asked.

Scott thought for a moment and expressed his opinion: "The most urgent task right now is to stabilize the morale of the troops. We must try to explain it clearly to the employees and eliminate their doubts. If that doesn't work, giving them some sweet treats is also fine. In short, we must not let the other party take advantage of the loopholes and take advantage of them."

Wang Yang nodded approvingly. Scott's analysis was thorough and his suggestions were to the point. It seemed that during this period of time, he would have to go to the grassroots more often and strengthen communication with everyone.

So in the following days, Wang Yang began to frequently appear in various departments of the company. He patiently listened to the opinions of employees, explained the company's development strategy in detail, and also moderately revealed some of the latest progress of the space elevator.

Gradually, the employees' emotions began to calm down and stabilize. Although the conflicts among the top management of the company continued, at least it did not affect the overall morale.

However, the crisis is far from over.

At this critical juncture, an accident with the space elevator orbital module caused the situation to become complicated again.

When Wang Yang arrived at the scene, it was in chaos. The space capsule was suspended in mid-air and was about to fall, with dozens of passengers trapped inside, and in danger of crashing at any time.

Just as the rescue operation was about to begin, shocking news came from the elevator base.

Someone took advantage of the chaos to invade the control room and cut off the connection between the elevator and the ground!
This means that the passengers trapped in the space capsule can only rely on the emergency system in the capsule to survive, and the ground cannot exercise any control over the elevator.

If the control system failure is not eliminated quickly, what awaits the passengers will be a fall into the abyss!
"This is definitely a deliberate conspiracy!" Scott yelled in the communication channel, "Boss, we must take action immediately! If we don't repair it, the passengers will die!"

Wang Yang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger and anxiety. He knew that he could not hesitate at this moment.

"Scott, organize an emergency team immediately, and we'll sneak in from the maintenance passage under the space capsule! Try to repair the fault as soon as possible!" He made a prompt decision, "As for the main control room, leave it to Tieshan. Let him take people there as soon as possible and make sure to take back control!" "Understood!" Scott responded loudly.

In a flash, Wang Yang and several technical backbones rushed into the narrow passage under the elevator shaft. This passage was usually used for daily maintenance and the environment was extremely harsh, but now it has become the only way to the space capsule.

The group scrambled and rolled, trying to climb up. It was pitch black and they could not see anything. Only the faint light from the flashlight and the slight creaking sound from the orbital module reminded them of the danger they were in.

After several twists and turns, the repair team finally approached the bottom of the orbital module. At this moment, the entire space capsule was like a huge monster, quietly hovering in the air, and there was a danger of losing control and falling at any time.

The safety of the passengers depends entirely on the shoulders of their group!
Realizing this, Wang Yang gritted his teeth, regardless of the sweat on his forehead, and took the lead in opening the inspection port of the orbital module.

"Everyone, check separately to see what went wrong!" He gave the order while scanning every inch of the cabin with his sharp eyes.

Soon, several technicians discovered a clue - it turned out that a circuit board inside the orbital module was damaged by human hands, causing the entire module to malfunction!

"Damn it! This is clearly man-made sabotage!" A technician couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Stop talking nonsense! Find a way to fix it!" Wang Yang shouted in a deep voice, "Where is the backup circuit here? We can't just let the passengers wait to die!"

Everyone quickly opened the design drawings and began to discuss the repair plan. In the cramped space capsule, several people huddled together, sweating profusely.

Wang Yang also took off his suit, rolled up his sleeves and joined the repair team. Without saying a word, he picked up the tools and worked side by side with the technicians.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the backup circuit in the orbital module was successfully activated! The emergency broadcast immediately resounded throughout the cabin -

"Attention, passengers! The orbital module has resumed normal operation. Please sit tight and don't panic! We will soon reconnect with the ground base. Please trust us, we will ensure your safety!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire orbital module seemed to be reborn, and after a tremor, it began to run smoothly.

The passengers who survived the disaster cheered. Wang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief and sat back against the cabin wall exhausted.

"It was a relief, boss!" A technician patted him on the shoulder excitedly. "You stepped forward in the critical moment and resolved this unprecedented crisis! You are truly our hero!"

Wang Yang smiled weakly and was about to speak when Tieshan's breathless voice came from the communicator.

"Boss! It's bad! The control room has been lost!"

"What?!" Wang Yang sat up straight with a start, "Tieshan, tell me clearly, what's going on?!"

"We...we underestimated the enemy." Tieshan was obviously at the end of his strength. "They are outnumbered. The control room is in their hands. Boss, we were careless."

Wang Yang felt dizzy, and his mind went "boom", and he understood instantly -

It turns out this is all a conspiracy!
Someone deliberately created an orbital module accident to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and took advantage of the opportunity when he was leading the team to repair it, and seized control of the space elevator with the help of internal and external forces!

The mastermind behind this is probably that mysterious and malicious consortium!
Thinking of this, Wang Yang shuddered. The space elevator was his life's work and the key to the sea of ​​stars. But now, it had fallen into the hands of the enemy and was at their mercy.
"Tieshan! You retreat first! Save your strength, I will rush back to the company immediately!" He clenched his fists and issued new instructions.

"Mr. Wang! Are you okay?" The anxious voices of Jiang Liangliang and Liang Yuzhu came from the other end of the line.

It turned out that when the control room was attacked just now, Tieshan urgently transferred the two people to ensure the safety of the company's senior management.

"I'm fine. Are you all safe?" Wang Yang asked with concern.

"Don't worry, we're fine." Liang Yuzhu tried to remain calm, "Brother Yang, the situation is critical, you must be careful!"

"I know." Wang Yang took a deep breath. "We underestimated the enemy this time. That damn consortium is more cunning than we imagined. But as long as we work together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome!"

"That's right! Mr. Wang, we will always support you! As long as we are together, no conspiracy or trick can succeed!" Jiang Liangliang was full of fighting spirit.

Wang Yang smiled gratefully. With such respectable and lovely colleagues and lovers, what else did he have to fear?
"Yuzhu, Liangliang, please go back to the company first to stabilize the situation. Tieshan and I will be there soon." After giving the instructions, Wang Yang disconnected the communication, stood up and prepared to evacuate the orbital module.

A storm is inevitable. But Wang Yang knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he must face it head-on, because too many people pin their hopes on him.

After exiting the maintenance passage and returning to the ground, Wang Yang rushed into the company building without touching the ground.

In the conference room, Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were organizing the company's top management to urgently discuss countermeasures. Seeing him come back, the two felt relieved.

"Brother Yang, you're finally back!" Liang Yuzhu trotted over and hugged Wang Yang.

"Yuzhu, I'm sorry for making you worry." Wang Yang patted her back gently to comfort her.

"Boss Wang, Tieshan has already reported the situation in the control room to us." Jiang Liangliang got straight to the point. "Although the enemy has seized control of the space elevator, they probably haven't had time to get their hands on the core secrets. The most urgent task right now is to stabilize the company's operations and prevent the spread of panic."

Wang Yang nodded: "You are right. What is the reaction from the board of directors?"

"Don't worry, Liangliang and I have already discussed it in advance." Liang Yuzhu said, "Although everyone is very worried about this crisis, they all agree that the company must cut the Gordian knot and turn the tide. Many shareholders have also promised to give us financial support."

"That's good." Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "With the strong support of the board of directors, we will be more confident to deal with that damn consortium."

Jiang Liangliang frowned, "Brother Yang, I always feel that the consortium's calculations against us are probably not over yet. They took advantage of the situation this time and clearly went for the company's core secrets. But on second thought, if they could succeed so easily, why would they set up a trap to lure you in and cause yourself trouble?"

"Are you saying they have other intentions?" Wang Yang suddenly woke up.
