Chapter 450

Qin Ye sat at the head of the table, ostensibly calm and aloof, yet in truth his heart was already thumping wildly!

He received the list with some trembling in his hands - 17 industries… with 3,600,000 technical professionals to boot! And this includes Yin spirits of all sorts, ranging from the most mediocre ones to the largest industry leaders and powerhouses!
