Time flew by, and the two days were spent almost entirely in the joy of the Earth resuming its rotation.

However, Mexican President Freeman was somewhat conflicted at the moment. He sat in his office with a gloomy expression, looking at his several officials.

"Why? Why is this happening? Why are we stalling for time again? Is this how we answer to our friends?"

The officials under his command all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

Because they knew that although Freeman didn't usually get angry, he had a strong ability to control his emotions.

But judging from his words and expression, Freeman is on the verge of losing control.

At this moment, several officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whispered among themselves and then came over, speaking softly in Freeman's ear.

“Mr. President, we can actually ask Mr. Lu Yuan to help us build our own grain base first, since they seem to have other things to do.”

"Yes, after all, building a grain base would take a long time, so Mr. Lu Yuan will definitely agree to our request."

"We'll give him the satellite sooner or later, so he doesn't need to worry. What we're doing now is just the first step in our cooperation. Even though we've signed a contract, it doesn't guarantee he'll immediately provide what we need! It's time for him to show his sincerity in cooperating!"

Before the others could continue speaking, Freeman suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and glared at everyone like an enraged lion.

"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense! Mr. Lu Yuan saved my life and gave us a large amount of grain. Can't you see that?"

He could easily provide us with this food and rations if he wanted to support us. Although the amount he offered wasn't much, it was crucial for us—it was life-saving food. If you don't show your sincerity now, how can I explain this to Mr. Lu Yuan!

The people below were immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"President Freeman, don't forget that we are all citizens of one country. Now you are the president of our country, and you must stand on the side of our people."

Your current actions have completely deviated from the promises you made during our election. You are now siding with an outsider; are you committing treason?

Upon hearing these words, Freeman's face darkened, and he quickly walked up to the speaker, staring directly into his eyes.

"What did you say? You're accusing me of colluding with the enemy, of treason? How ridiculous! Is this how you treat your friends? If this cooperation falls apart, can you take responsibility?"

Just then, the president's aide outside suddenly walked in looking nervous.

"Mr. President, Lu Yuan and some of his friends have arrived, look..."

Then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. Freeman's expression changed drastically. He turned his head, glanced at the group of people, and snorted angrily.

"I'll give you two more days. If you still can't get it done in two days, then I won't take the blame for you!"

Freeman ultimately chose to compromise, after all, he was aware of the situation in his own country.

The people need food, but they lack the ability to grow it. If they want to cultivate it on a large scale, they must obtain Lu Yuan's technology. What they requested before was not that Lu Yuan directly provide them with food to eat, but rather that it be used for researching cultivation techniques.

In retrospect, repeatedly delaying Lu Yuan's patience was definitely something that severely damaged the business partner.

Then, Freeman turned around with a harmonious smile on his face.

The officials around them also changed their expressions, as if they had completely forgotten about the argument that had just taken place.

Then, Freeman gently opened the door and saw Lu Yuan leading several people walking towards his office in the corridor. Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Freeman quickly went to greet him and shook hands with him warmly.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm so sorry, something just happened. I was discussing it with my staff and didn't know you were here so soon!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand gently: "President Freeman, no need to be so polite. I'm mainly here today to see when we'll be taken to the satellite base. Two days have passed! Is the satellite base ready?"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Freeman did not reply immediately, but instead kindly pointed in the direction of his office: "Mr. Lu, please come to my office to talk!"

Seeing that the other party was avoiding his questions, Lu Yuan frowned immediately. This was a bad sign, and Lu Yuan felt that things might get complicated.

However, he still followed Freeman to his office with a smile and Zhou Tong and the others.

Freeman's presidential aide came over from the next room and brought out several cups of freshly brewed coffee, which were then placed in front of everyone. Lu Yuan glanced at the coffee but showed no intention of drinking it.

"President Freeman, is there a problem at the satellite base?"

Freeman held his coffee and pondered for a moment before putting it down.

"Sigh, to be honest, there is indeed a problem at the satellite base. It involves many things, and many pieces of equipment at the base are not properly maintained and cannot be fixed for the time being. However, I have already instructed them to do their best to troubleshoot the problem, so there may be another delay. I'm really sorry!"
