It wasn't a relic …
There were living people living on it?!
When he left Future Building, Lavrov still felt dizzy, so he couldn't clearly hear what Jiang Chen said. He barely maintained the demeanor of a diplomat. From the moment he stood on the elevator, he began to daydream.
The huge amount of information made it difficult for him to digest. The value behind this starship was beyond his imagination, beyond the imagination of the Federal Space Agency and the Kremlin.
"Go back to the hotel … No, go to the embassy."
After he got into the car parked downstairs, Lavrov subconsciously said to the driver, but he immediately changed his mind. He now needed to report the news to the Kremlin immediately. An alien starship sleeping under the ice sheet of Europa, for some reason, had the name Baikonur Launch Base on it.
Not only that, the "aliens" on it might still be alive.
"Okay, sir."
The driver skillfully started the car and smoothly entered the maglev track.
Looking at the Future Building gradually disappearing in the rearview mirror, Lavrov's mind also slightly retracted from the alien starship. But at this time, he frowned because of another thing he couldn't understand.
Today's Future Group …
Seemed to be acting a bit too generous?
Intuition told Lavrov that it wasn't that simple …
Just as Lavrov watched the Future Building gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, Jiang Chen, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office on the top floor, also watched Lavrov's fleet shrink to a point at the end of the road and merge into the endless traffic flow of Coro City.
"Do you want to ask me why I told him so much?"
Jiang Chen smiled, turned around, and looked at Xia Shiyu standing at the door.
Xia Shiyu shook her head and smiled.
"You guessed wrong. I just came to ask if you want to go to the cafeteria for dinner."
"Aren't you curious?" Jiang Chen asked.
"She's your woman, so I can guess a little." Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, and a smug smile appeared on her face. "Or do you want me to pretend I don't know and humbly ask for advice to satisfy your vanity?"
"… I find you're getting smarter."
"Do you want me to be smart or stupid?" Xia Shiyu teased.
"That's good," Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
"At least you still have some conscience."
The corner of her mouth curled up as her pair of bright eyes gazed at Jiang Chen. The two looked at each other affectionately for a while before she suddenly burst out laughing. That bright and beautiful smile was like the branches of willows by the river in March, bringing with it a trace of refreshing spring breeze.
"Do you want to have lunch together?" She gently tucked her hair behind her ear as she invited again.
"Of course." Jiang Chen nodded.
…
Lunch was still at the cafeteria on the top floor, still the spot Jiang Chen liked the most.
The ordinary employees tacitly left some private space for the two. Even if they knew Jiang Chen was easygoing to his own people, no one would disturb them at this time.
As usual, Xia Shiyu ordered a fruit salad and a cup of black coffee. It was a combination of sweet and bitter. As for Jiang Chen, in front of him was a salmon steak, French cheese bread, and a small bowl of cream oyster soup. It was obvious that the chef put a lot of effort into this lunch. Although it wasn't a complicated dish, just the aroma alone was worthy of the Michelin three-star restaurant and the salary paid by Future Group.
"You're only eating this little? You're not afraid of starving. " Looking at the cherry tomatoes sprinkled with salad sauce on her fork, as well as her thin lips dyed redder by the tomato juice, Jiang Chen felt distressed.
"Sitting in the office all the time, you can't digest too much."
"I'm more worried about you starving."
"That means you don't understand women."
"What does this have to do with me understanding women?"
Xia Shiyu elegantly picked up a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, then changed the topic.
"What's the plan for the afternoon?"
"I have a meeting with Mr. Gorowen. I'll probably use the holographic conference room downstairs," Jiang Chen said.
"You should have told me earlier."
"Is there a plan?"
"There is. Future Heavy Industries is preparing to renew the medical drone contract with HCA. There are about two meetings between the branch and the headquarters about supply orders and production capacity coordination …" Xia Shiyu paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen, and suddenly smiled. "Of course, no matter how important the meeting is, it's not as important as you. I'll arrange for them to adjust themselves."
That smile stunned Jiang Chen.
[Am I being flirted with?]
Perhaps it was because CEO Xia rarely smiled in the company.
As a result, many of the employees who were peeking at them were stunned. Among them were young men, and even women who had just joined the company … Jiang Chen had to admit that even among the same sex, Xia Shiyu's domineering temperament at work was quite lethal.
In the holographic conference room of Future Building, Jiang Chen walked to the conference table and sat down. This place was usually used for meetings between the headquarters and branch managers on various continents, and occasionally it was used for negotiations with other multinational companies. After all, Future Technology was now packaging and selling this system, and many multinational companies had already caught up with the trend of the times.
However, it was the first time for this conference room to be used to negotiate with aliens.
The waiter poured a cup of coffee for Jiang Chen, then turned around and left, closing the door of the conference room behind him.
He turned on his watch and called Kelvin, who was in Celestial City.
"Open the quantum communication module and lock the transmitter on Europa."
"Roger that."
After receiving the order, Kelvin immediately ordered the staff at the Space Command Center to send a communication request to Europa according to the agreed communication channel and password.
Soon, the Space Command Center received a response from the Sventovet. Kelvin immediately transferred the communication to the conference room of Future Building and asked his boss to talk to the alien friend.
Jiang Chen didn't have to wait long in the conference room.
In the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, light blue light particles gathered in front of him. If he was not mistaken, his holographic image should have been copied to the Sventovit. The two sat on both sides of the conference table as if they were talking face to face.
"If you are sitting across from me now, I will definitely buy you a drink." Jiang Chen looked at Ge Luowen, smiled, and put down the coffee in his hand.
"A tempting proposal. I believe that day won't take too long," Ge Luowen said expressionlessly.
"We don't know each other well enough. You rely on distant memories, but we can only rely on intuition. In order to avoid possible trouble, I think we need to talk openly. "
"What do you want to talk about?" Ge Luowen said.
"About you." Jiang Chen stared at Ge Luowen and said, "Anything you think you can disclose to us that we don't know. This is our sincere request. We want to understand you. "
