Chapter 894: Chapter 852: Rebellious Girl_2

"This matter requires thorough deliberation."

Guan Lili quickly found a small, private meeting room, "The company is now divided into two factions. One faction wishes to follow the old methods, eliminating enemies of the company through assassination; the other faction sees this as a great opportunity to ’turn the page.’ They plan to pin all the problems on that old thing, claiming that everything was the result of his arbitrary decisions. From now on, Kolo Film Industry will become a brand-new company."

"Regardless, this matter will impact how people view the rescuers."

Song Lan said.

Kolo Film Industry had always been built on the rescuers. Once this season of ’Master of Rescuers’ aired, they would likely be denounced by people for a long time to come.

This was different from a certain national-level rescuer’s collapse; this was an earthquake in the entire industry.

"Exactly, as I know, at the last meeting, the Review Meeting supported the former approach. The image of the rescuers holds strategic importance for the United Government."

Guan Lili was well aware of this.

For many people, the rescuers were a spiritual solace that allowed them to ignore their own circumstances and believe that life still held hope. This was why ’Master of Rescuers’ was successful initially.

"The Review Meeting isn’t interested in the company’s internal struggles, they are worried that once the image of the rescuers is shattered, it might lead to strikes, which would impact their personal interests."

The greatest impact ordinary people could have on the company was to collectively go on strike, even though they had already handed over critical positions to trusted entities or artificial intelligence. Yet, many of their industries still needed lower-tier workers to operate.

Guan Lili had always felt that several years ago, someone blowing up the Tesla Technology building had a profound impact on the future structure of the United Government. Although it did not eliminate the corporate system fundamentally, it pushed forward the enactment of the ’Artificial Intelligence Act,’ during which the company had been striving to replace human positions entirely with artificial intelligence.

Before the terrorist attack, they had even reached agreements with a substantial portion of the lower-level populace.

After losing their jobs, they could stay at home every day. The company would keep them contained, providing for their living expenses and needs.

They would also allocate a specific area for the masses of unemployed, concentrating them there.

The company promised to construct numerous entertainment facilities in the city for the people’s enjoyment, proclaiming that artificial intelligence was not the enemy of humanity. This was the benefit brought by modern technology; they would completely liberate productive forces, allowing people to enjoy life better.

But in reality, the company did this to eliminate the last threats people might pose to it.

Given the armed forces currently hoarded by the company, civilian armed resistance was almost impossible to succeed. Even the Rebel Army active in the "outside world" would find it difficult to truly break through the borders of the United Government.

Even that terrorist attack, which changed the structure of the United Government to a certain extent, was influenced by factional struggles behind the scenes.

"I happened to read about the plan that went bankrupt due to the launch of the ’Artificial Intelligence Act.’ After concentrating the unemployed in specific areas, they planned to introduce a policy limiting childbirth. Eventually, the population in these special areas would keep decreasing."

This was why Guan Lili had always resisted the company and the Review Meeting.

Before meeting Song Lan, she could only bury these threatening insights in her heart.

For the Review Meeting, making a company director disappear was too simple, so simple that a single phone call was enough to sink her body to the bottom of the lake.

"My current principle is to oppose the Review Meeting within the greatest extent of my official authority, and I have you to thank for that."

"Thank me?"

"You awakened my spirit of rebellion."

Before meeting Song Lan, Guan Lili could never have imagined someone completely annihilating the Mendoza Family and causing such severe turmoil in the Second District while still emerging unscathed.

In dealing with Song Lan, it was the Review Meeting that had become the side forced to endure in silence.

Guan Lili sipped her coffee, smiling slightly. She suddenly thought of a title that fit her style in District 4, "Now, you’re facing the rebel girl Guan Lili... what’s that look in your eyes?"

"I..."

This sudden title was so full of holes that Song Lan found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

First and foremost, he had to emphasize that he had never tried to awaken the spirit of rebellion in anyone, and more importantly, "a girl?"

Clearly, Guan Lili did not fit the definition of a "girl" in his or most people’s eyes.

"You——!"

Guan Lili glared furiously, as Song Lan always managed to push her into a state of mental congestion, "If you can’t speak properly, then speak less!"

She felt that this guy definitely had a hidden talent for biting remarks. She really wondered how Lu Xiang could tolerate Song Lan’s verbal attacks.

Guan Lili took a deep breath, trying hard to stabilize her fluctuating emotions.

Even though Song Lan doubted her identity as a "girl," which bordered on serious personal attack, serious enough to take to court, it didn’t affect their conversation going forward.

Now she had to prove not only that she was a rebel girl, but also a professional one. She had to adhere to the principle of not letting personal emotions interfere with work.

"Director Lu said you went to the black market yesterday, how was it?"

"Didn’t look closely."

They passed many places, and Lu Xiang had suggested, for the sake of his mental health, that it was better not to delve too deeply into them; otherwise, he would encounter many rescuers similar to "Black Sand."

"I do think it’s necessary to sort out the rescuers. Otherwise, their actions will only become more aggressive."

Guan Lili had witnessed how District 4 had developed step by step into what it was today.

Initially, rescuers including "Black Sand," would still consider their identities and somewhat moderate their behavior, but under the indulgence of corporations and the Review Meeting, they began to intensify their actions. Their national-level rescuer status made them realize they were closely tied to corporate interests, and whatever they did, they would be forgiven, even supported by the corporations.

Guan Lili said, "People often lose themselves amid praise... What comes next will get a bit complicated, Vadim and his remnants are unlikely to follow the arrangement of the program team. Once the internal opinions of the corporation differ, he and his remnants will definitely not surrender without a fight."

Moreover, they would push Vadim toward another faction within the corporation. "In the worst-case scenario, they might manually terminate the filming of the program... If there are mass casualties among the contestants during the program, we will have no choice but to end it."

After all, the essential purpose of ’Master of Rescuers’ is to give people a chance to become rescuers. The crimes they encounter during filming are pre-planned for the thrill of the program; the audience isn’t there to see these aspiring rescuers being slaughtered by criminals.

And this was exactly why she had come to seek Song Lan privately.

"Once Vadim’s men start thinking about killing, the contestants are more likely to be doomed, so... can you teach them some real skills?"

The more Guan Lili got to know Song Lan, the more she trusted his capability.

Not to mention Vadim’s men, even Vadim himself wouldn’t be able to cause much of a stir in front of Song Lan.

If the current situation for the contestants was akin to novices accidentally entering Demon King City, then Song Lan facing Vadim would be like inadvertently falling into an interdimensional black hole, where they would encounter indescribable horrors marked by "???" above their heads.

This was Song Lan’s true image in Guan Lili’s eyes.

She added, "You don’t need to teach them anything too exaggerated, just enough so they can preserve their lives while dueling wits with Vadim’s remnants."
