"Sure, just give me your purchase list and I'll provide a quote. Alternatively, you can choose to pay only with crystal cores."

Minister Wang of the Logistics Department, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter, quickly rushed to express his opinion.

"I will put together the list tomorrow."

As for the payment issue, that's not something he's concerned about.

Lu Zheng's smile widened. "Don't worry, Miss Li, I know your rules."

Lu Chen had previously contacted him and suggested that he emphasize this issue.

Overall, Li Xin'er enjoyed the dinner fairly well and had a good time interacting with Lu Zheng and the others.

The next day, Lu Jin'an and You Su, arranged by Lu Zheng, came to show Li Xin'er around the base.

The two deliberately avoided the territory of the deputy base chief's faction, but since Du Zhiyuan and his group had their eyes on Li Xin'er, how could they not pay attention when Li Xin'er went out?

Before they had been visiting for long, Du Zhiyuan and his group of Lan Mingxuan had an unexpected encounter with Li Xin'er and her group.

Du Zhiyuan glanced at Li Xin'er before feigning surprise and stepping forward to greet Lu Jin'an warmly.

"They said you were back. They didn't see you yesterday and thought it was just a rumor, but I ran into you today."

Before the apocalypse, Du Zhiyuan still had contact with the Lu family because of Lu Qi, the second son of the Lu family.

It was only after the apocalypse, with self-interest taking precedence, that a clear division emerged.

Lu Jin'an nodded politely, "Deputy Base Commander."

Du Zhiyuan's smile froze for a moment, then he casually patted Lu Jin'an's arm.

"Don't call me Base Commander, just call me Uncle Du. It's only been a short time since we last met, why are you being so formal?"

Without waiting for Lu Jin'an to reply, he looked up at Li Xin'er, feigning surprise.

"Is this your girlfriend? You're a lucky guy!"
