Chapter 187 Naive Nicholas

An hour later, Qiao Meng finally finished her work in the kitchen. The dining table was piled high with dishes, but they were all green vegetables.

"Mr. Chen Yu, I'm going to deliver lunch to Xiao Yang and Mr. Niu Kesi." Qiao Meng packed two lunch boxes, greeted Chen Yu, and then got out of the car.

When she was almost finished cooking, Chen Yu had already told Xiao Yang to park the car.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yu called out to Qiao Meng, "Let's invite that Niu Ke to come up and eat with us. After all, it's our first meal together, so let's be more formal."

"I understand," Qiao Meng nodded.

Niu Kesi is a key figure in Chen Yu's future starry sky plan and someone he needs to win over. It's really outrageous to make him eat a boxed lunch for his first meal.

Soon, Qiao Meng and Niu Ke returned to the RV cabin one after the other.

"Haha, Lao Niu, sit down, sit down, don't be shy!" Chen Yu greeted him warmly.

Hearing Chen Yu's rather odd nickname, Niu Ke didn't mind at all. At this moment, he was looking around the RV with envy.

In the past, let alone a dilapidated RV, even a 7-star hotel wouldn't have caught his eye.

But things are different now. He had lived in the dilapidated wooden house for dozens of days, and now that he had finally escaped, he had to sit in the tiny, hard passenger seat, which was really unbearable.

Chen Yu seemed oblivious to Niu Ke's burning gaze. He continued, "Old Niu, come on, eat. I know you've suffered these past few days, eating too much greasy, fatty meat. This meal is specially prepared for you."

Only then did Niu Ke turn his attention to the dining table, and his eyes widened when he saw the wide variety of vegetables on it.

He gets to eat meat every day in Wang Er's little wooden hut, what the heck? It's all vegetarian!

While he certainly needs to replenish some vitamins since he hasn't eaten fresh vegetables in a long time, this is a bit much! At least prepare a couple of substantial dishes!

"Sigh~! Old Niu, to be honest, these two girls are too brainless. To thank your savior, they gave him the entire refrigerator full of meat, without even leaving any for us," Chen Yu explained.

When Niu Ke heard Chen Yu say this, he felt embarrassed. Chen Yu had brought all the food downstairs to help him thank his benefactor, and Niu Ke was complaining that there was no meat in the meal.

Thinking of this, Niuske felt a pang of shame.

He didn't say anything, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of vegetables.

"Hmm~?" Newsk raised an eyebrow slightly, then a hint of unexpected surprise flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, it tastes really good. I never thought that such a simple vegetable dish could be made so delicious. I don’t know if it’s because he has lived a hard life for too long or what, but he actually felt that Qiao Meng’s cooking skills were two levels higher than his family’s head chef.

Newsk savored the vegetables in his mouth. The fresh and natural taste and the perfect seasoning made them taste so delicious that he began to enjoy this all-vegetarian dinner.

Before he knew it, he had eaten three bowls of rice with the delicious dish.

After the meal.

Niu Ke took a sip of tea with a look of enjoyment before getting down to business with Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, how far are we from the airport?" Niu Ke asked.

Chen Yu looked puzzled: "Who said we were going to the airport?"

"Huh? You weren't...you weren't going to send me back to Merica in your private jet?" Newsk exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yu said helplessly, "Old Niu, what are you thinking? In this environment, tell me, which private jet can still fly?"

Newsk paused for a moment upon hearing this, glanced at the snowfield outside the car window, and said with a bitter expression, "That's right, even if we have special aircraft, there aren't enough conditions for takeoff."

“How about this, let’s go to Haidu. Not only does my Starship China branch have there, but there’s also a tram factory,” Niu Ke suggested. “While we’re at it, we can also hurry up and finalize the investment agreement.”

Chen Yu was speechless at this.

The villagers, including Wang Er, were isolated by the heavy snow blocking the mountains and had limited knowledge, so it was understandable that they couldn't grasp the current situation.

You, Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, actually have such an optimistic view of this natural disaster and are even thinking about attracting investors to start a company. Isn't that nonsense?

Originally, Chen Yu wanted to talk to Musk about joining the Tianyu Base to "fight for human civilization," but now it seems he needs to adjust his communication strategy first.

First, we need to make Musk realize the severity of the current situation.

However, top billionaires like Niu Ke are always arrogant, and they may not necessarily believe what they hear from others. If you tell them about the apocalypse and try to get them to join the Tianyu Base, it may have the opposite effect.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Yu made a decision and said to Niu Ke, "Old Niu, let's not rush back to Haidu. How about this, I have some things to take care of in Wenhan City, will you come with me?"

Newsk was taken aback, unsure of Chen Yu's intentions. After a moment's thought, he finally nodded and said, "No problem."

In his mind, he didn't care what Chen Yu was thinking. As long as he got to Wenhan, he would go directly to the Wenhan municipal government officials or the Meiruika consulate. At that time, the world was so big, there was nowhere he couldn't go.

"Haha, Old Niu is indeed a straightforward person." Chen Yu laughed and patted Niu Sk on the shoulder. "Alright, since we've already agreed, let's hurry up and get on our way."

After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Meng.

Qiao Meng understood, stood up, and opened the car door.

Niu Ke was speechless. He wanted to sit a little longer. Was the carriage so big that there wasn't even room for his butt?

However, now that he was under someone else's roof, as the richest man on Blue Star, he couldn't very well pretend to be stupid. So he wisely got up and took his leave of Chen Yu and the others.

Before leaving, he took one last, reluctant look at the spacious and comfortable car, then got out of the car with a resolute expression and returned to the passenger seat.

The sled caravan sped across the snowfield once again.

As for the Starship wreckage, Chen Yu didn't make another trip, because according to Niu Ke, the wreckage had no research value whatsoever; what was in his mind was Starship Corporation's greatest asset.

Chen Yu nodded secretly, becoming even more determined to persuade Niu Ke to join the Tianyu base.

However, he didn't completely believe what Newsk said. He thought to himself that when he had time in the future, he would still take some time to go back to the place where the starship crashed and collect the wreckage into his extradimensional space. Even if it had no research value, it would be good to reuse such a big lump of iron.
