Dragging her suitcase into the house, Natasha looked around the mansion and abruptly asked.
"You two are together?"
He didn't plan to hide it, so he nodded and admitted.
"That's right. A great deal happened while you were in Moscow. "
"Eh? I couldn't tell. " Natasha looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and said with a playful expression, "I thought you guys would continue to flirt."
"What do you mean continue to flirt?" Jiang Chen glanced at her. "Speaking of which, how did you find out?"
"No matter what, I'm still a former KGB agent." Natasha shrugged and suddenly moved her face a few inches closer to Jiang Chen. "What's more, I'm a woman."
"I see. I almost forgot."
Jiang Chen pretended to have a sudden realization and Natasha glared at him.
Although she returned to Russia for a while, Jiang Chen kept her room for her, and Ayesha occasionally cleaned it for her. After he helped her carry the suitcase into the room, he didn't bother with her anymore and went to the Ange Island Industrial Park.
This morning, Yang Guanglei, the CEO of Future Heavy Industries, sent a message to him through Future Group's internal office software. The Stingray X-1 prototype produced by Ange Island Industrial Park had completed the initial test.
If there were no accidents, on the day of the United Nations Outer Space Summit five days later, it would be sent to the geosynchronous orbit by the space elevator along with the sixty passengers participating in the first open passenger carriage. Piloted by professionally trained astronauts, the transport module stored with 5 kilograms of deuterium and several tons of Earth food completed the round-trip flight between Celestial City's giant space station and the lunar colony.
Although 80% of the parts were completed by industrial-grade 3D printers, it was a sign that Ange Island High-tech Industrial Park had the ability to produce 22nd-century equipment. To achieve this, Jiang Chen spent two years.
…
Although the first round of contact with Celestial Trade ended in failure, Ye Qinghua was not discouraged. In a sense, he had expected such a situation to occur. A negotiation that doesn't start with an exorbitant demand can still be called a negotiation?
If such a big project could be negotiated in one go, he would think Jiang Chen set a trap for him.
However, Jiang Chen's tough attitude in rejecting the orbital lease contract was beyond the expectations of Elder Ye and the central government in Hua. Twelve orbits, with the current space market activity, didn't need that many. In Hua's view, Celestial Trade shouldn't refuse this proposal.
It seems that we still underestimated the market prospects of space resources development and Jiang Chen's ambition. Future Group was an expert in this area. Everyone had their own specialization, and they should be able to see further in this area …
After calling his granddaughter, Ye Yunfei, and scolding her, Elder Ye let her go and gave her a small vacation.
She had completed her mission to test Jiang Chen's bottom line on the negotiation table and the weight of their bargaining chips in his mind. Although for her personally, this trip to Xin was destined to be fruitless.
Although Elder Ye felt a little guilty for making use of the younger generation, in the face of the country's interests, family interests were nothing, let alone kinship.
At most, when he went back, he would talk to Ye Xianrong and ask him not to make things difficult for his daughter on that marriage. Although Xiang was in the limelight, he was nothing in front of the Ye family in Jiangnan. Since Yunfei didn't like the kid, then forget it.
This could be considered as compensation for her.
As he got older, he was softhearted to the younger generation.
Elder Ye shook his head, put his granddaughter's matter aside, and looked at the photo on the table.
It was taken by his bodyguard at the airport. The Russian woman in the photo with a suitcase was Natasha, who Jiang Chen previously picked up from the airport.
"A former senior KGB agent. Before retiring, she was active in the border area between Russia and Ukraine, and she first came into contact with Jiang Chen there. Her personal resume shows that she participated in the Georgian War, the Crimea Crisis, and other hot events … How could such a person be with Jiang Chen? "
Elder Ye frowned slightly and was puzzled.
Jiang Chen controlled a special intelligence force, which was no secret among intelligence organizations of various countries. He should know that the Russian beauty who lived in his home once served the Russian intelligence agency.
"Could it be as the rumors say …" Elder Ye touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Based on the information analyzed by the General Staff Department, Jiang Chen's private life was far from as low-key as generally circulated on the Internet. Not only was he once in a relationship with a minor celebrity in the country, but it was also rumored that the female bodyguard who always followed him was also his mistress.
There was even a rumor that as early as when Jiang Chen was still in Wanghai, he maintained an "ambiguous relationship" with his right-hand man, Xia Shiyu.
Not only that, it was rumored that in the mansion he bought in Yoto, he also had a little lover who hadn't graduated from college yet …
"If he's really a womanizer, it's actually good news for us." Elder Ye's eyes flickered with a glimmer of light.
Although he and the people above no longer fantasized about persuading him to return to China, they didn't mind maintaining a close relationship with him.
And marriage was a good choice!
Whether it was for the country or for the Ye family …
Thinking of this, Ye Qinghua's depressed granddaughter who was reprimanded by him suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although Ye Yunfei may have left a bad impression on him at the negotiation table, there was no deep hatred between the two. Having an impression was better than having no impression at all! If he could use some tricks to bring the two of them together …
At this thought, Elder Ye's cloudy eyes gradually lit up.
In terms of appearance, he was confident that his second son's daughter, even if she wasn't devastatingly beautiful, was definitely a "calamitous" beauty. Not only was she beautiful, but she also received an excellent aristocratic education. Whether it was the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, or her Harvard degree, she was far beyond the reach of ordinary talented women.
Although she was a bit arrogant in her bones, this shortcoming could be completely ignored in front of many advantages. As the saying goes, a flaw does not obscure a jade.
As for Jiang Chen's private life, he didn't care at all.
Even if Jiang Chen wanted to restore polygamy in his "little kingdom", even if Jiang Chen wouldn't devote any feelings to her after marriage.
In front of the national interest, the so-called personal feelings were never important. And the strength shown by Future Group and Celestial Trade was enough to make the Ye family put down their traditional modesty and sacrifice the personal happiness of a certain family member.
"It's just … it's been hard on Yunfei."
Elder Ye sighed. After a moment of silence, he picked up the phone and called his second son, Ye Xianrong, who was the secretary general of the provincial government.
There was no need to ask for permission from above, but he must first inform Yunfei's father. Regardless of whether this marriage could be negotiated or not, Yunfei's ideological work must be done.
It was indeed difficult for her to let go of her prejudices to approach a man she didn't love at all.
But Elder Ye believed that she would understand his and her father's painstaking efforts.
