I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1548 - An Honest Dialogue
Chapter 1548: An Honest Dialogue
That’s not a shipwreck…
There are living people on it?!
When Lavrov left Future Building, he was still in a daze, as for what Jiang Chen said later, he could not make out the words clearly anymore. After he did his best to maintain the composure of a diplomat, he was in a daze the moment he stepped into the elevator.
He found it difficult to digest the information for the time being. The value behind this starship already exceeded his imagination and exceeded the imagination of the Russia Space Agency and the Kremlin.
“Go back to the hotel…no, go to the embassy.”
After Lavrov got into the vehicle parked downstairs, he spoke to the driver subconsciously, but quickly changed his mind. He had to report the information to the Kremlin immediately, an alien ship sleeping under Europa’s ice cap, for some reason, the name of the Baikonur Cosmodrome was printed on it
Not only that, the “alien” inside could still be alive.
“Okay, sir.”
The driver started the vehicle and entered the maglev road smoothly.
As Lavrov watched Future Building disappear from the rear-view mirror, his thoughts were slightly pulled back from that alien starship, but at this moment, he started to frown because of another issue that he could not figure out.
Future Group today…
seemed to be too generous?
His instinct told him that the matter was not that simple…
Just as Lavrov watched the Future Building disappear in the mirror, Jiang Chen, who stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the top-floor office, also watched Lavrov’s vehicle shrink to a point at the end of the highway and merge into the constant flow of traffic in Coro City.
“You want to ask me why I told him so much?”
Jiang Chen smiled, turned around, and looked at Xia Shiyu who stood at the door.
She shook her head, then smiled with her lips closed.
“You guessed wrong, I just came to ask if you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch.”
“Aren’t you curious?” Jiang Chen asked.
“I’m your woman, after all, I can guess a little bit.” Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes with a smug smile, “Or, you want me to pretend to be ignorant, humbly ask for advice, and satisfy your vanity?”
“…I find that you are getting smarter and smarter.”
“Do you want me to be smarter or more foolish?” Xia Shiyu joked.
“This is fine,” Jiang Chen said immediately without even thinking about it.
“It seems that you still have a conscience.”
With the corners of her mouth turned up, Xia Shiyu gazed at Jiang Chen. The two looked at each other affectionately for a long time, and Xia Shiyu suddenly burst out laughing. The bright smile was a March spring day beside the bank, warm but carried a hint of freshness like a spring breeze.
“Let’s have lunch together?” Xia Shiyu invited again after she combed the strands of hair beside her ear.
“Of course.” Jiang Chen nodded.
…
Lunch was still in the cafeteria on the top floor, and it was still in Jiang Chen’s favorite spot.
Ordinary employees tacitly set aside a private space for the two of them. Even if they were aware of Jiang Chen’s easy-going attitude, no one unwittingly bothered them at this time.
As usual, Xia Shiyu ordered a fruit salad and a cup of black coffee, which combined both sweet and bitter into her meal. As for Jiang Chen, there was a salmon fillet, French cheese bread, and a small bowl of creamy oyster soup in front of him. It was clear that the chef took a lot of effort in this meal. Although they were by no means complicated dishes, the aroma alone was worth Michelin three-star and the salary paid by Future Group.
“That’s all you’re eating? Are you not going to be hungry.” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel distressed when he looked at the cherry tomatoes sprinkled with salad dressing on Xia Shiyu’s fork and the lips stained with tomato juice.
“I sit in the office all day. If I eat too much, I won’t digest.”
“I’m more worried about you being hungry.”
“That means you don’t understand women.”
“What does this have to do with whether I understand women?”
Xia Shiyu elegantly picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth, then changed the subject.
“What’s the plan for the afternoon?”
“I have a meeting with Mr. Golovin. I will probably use the holographic meeting room downstairs,” Jiang Chen said.
“You should have told me earlier.”
“You have plans?”
“Yes. Future Heavy Industries plans to renew the medical drone contract with HCA in the UA. There will be two meetings between the subsidiary and the headquarters about supply and capacity coordination…” At this point, Xia Shiyu paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen, and suddenly started to grin, “Of course, no matter how important the meetings are, they are not as important as your meeting. I will ask them to adjust the timing.”
That smile really surprised Jiang Chen.
Are you flirting with me?
Maybe it was because Ms. Xia rarely smiled at the company.
As a result, many of the employees who peeked in this direction were completely stunned. Among them, there were many young male employees and even female employees who just started at the company… They had to admit that even among the same sex, the temperament of Xia Shiyu’s decisiveness was quite attractive.
In the holographic conference room of Future Building, Jiang Chen walked to the conference table and sat down. This place was often used for meetings between group headquarters and subsidiaries on different continents, and occasionally it was used to negotiate with other multinational companies. After all, Future Technology sold this system, and many multinational companies have caught up with the trend.
But it was the first time this room had the honor to negotiate with aliens.
The waiter poured a cup of coffee for Jiang Chen, then left, and closed the door behind him.
He clicked the watch and called Kelvin on Celestial City.
“Open the quantum communication module and lock the transmitter to Europa.”
“Roger that.”
After Kelvin received the information, he immediately ordered the staff at Space Command Center to send a signal and request communication to Europa based on the agreed channel and password.
Soon, the Space Command Center received a response from the Svetovid, and Kelvin immediately transferred the communication to the meeting room in Future Building for the discussion between his boss and the friendly alien.
Inside the room, Jiang Chen did not wait for long.
After he finished half of his coffee, light blue light particles gathered in front of him and formed into a shape. Not surprisingly, his holographic image was also copied onto the Svetovid at this moment. The two of them sat on both sides of the conference table as if they were talking face to face.
“If you are really sitting across from me now, I’ll definitely buy you a drink,” Jiang Chen looked at Golovin, smiled, and put down the coffee in his hand.
“It’s a tempting proposal, I believe that day will not be too far away,” Golovin said without a change of expression.
“We don’t know enough about each other. You rely on that distant memory, and all we can rely on is our intuition. In order to avoid possible problem, I think we need to speak frankly and honestly.”
“What do you want to talk about?” Golovin asked.
“About you,” Jiang Chen said while he stared at Golovin, “anything you think that can be revealed to us, that we don’t know. This is our sincere request, and we want to get to know you.”
