Jason hung up the phone, chatted briefly with the manager next to him, and then strode away.

Chen Niaoshu watched his departing figure before slowly releasing her fingers that were deeply embedded in her palm.

She was supposed to wait in China for the cargo ship she had ordered to arrive in Fuzhou, but the company notified her at the last minute that she should stay and participate in the company's ship design competition, so she had to rush back to Germany.

"Miss Chen, what are you still doing here?"

"Your assistant has already delivered the materials to the office. Familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible to avoid any mistakes when receiving the inspection team tomorrow." The manager glanced at her, a hint of other emotions hidden in his eyes, which quickly dissipated.

If it weren't for Wag blocking his way, he would have already...

Chen Niaoshu nodded to him and strode directly towards the office.

Chen Niaoshu had long seen through her boss's intentions, and one of the reasons she was unwilling to return to Germany to develop her career was him.

This person is quite promiscuous in private; even her assistant and manager have a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Chen Niaoshu's lips twitched slightly, her eyes gradually darkening.

One day, she will definitely trample this manager under her feet...

…

the next day.

Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen arrived in Maiwei together.

Lu Qiuying was already waiting for them at the front desk of Maiwei. She also wanted to talk to Jason about the port.

The latest phase of the project is complete and needs Jason's inspection.

"Sister Qiuying." Lin Ziyan saw her and quickly stepped forward.

She changed her plans at the last minute today, otherwise the two of them might have missed each other.

The delegation was received by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon their arrival in Germany and was not allowed to leave the group without permission.

Lin Ziyan's phone call to Lu Qiuying was being monitored, so she simply changed her plans and came to see Jason today.

"Ayan, Mr. Jason is waiting for us in his office." Lu Qiuying glanced at her younger brother following behind Lin Ziyan, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Then she looked at Lu Yunshen and said, "You came to Germany for vacation?"

Lu Yunshen: "I've come to see a friend."

Lu Qiuying, "..."

She almost forgot that Jason knew him.

The group walked to Jason's office door, where his assistant was already waiting.

"Minister Lu, please come in. Mr. Jason's friends have arrived." The assistant said, leading them inside.

Lin Ziyan and Lu Qiuying exchanged a glance, both looking surprised.

Is Jason really planning to introduce them?

This is the private office that Maiwei set up for Jason.

Stepping into the office, you are surrounded by two honeycomb-shaped wooden walls, and the floor is paved with light gray marble. There are almost no green plants along the way.

A faint floral fragrance permeated the air, very subtle.

"Rote, instead of buying a painting to look at, you might as well just fly to Hong Kong."

"China has changed a lot..."

Upon hearing Jason's words, Lin Ziyan turned to look at Lu Yunshen.

Roth?

Is it Roth from Herbert Shipping Company?

A glint flashed in Lu Yunshen's eyes, but his expression remained indifferent.

"This international ship design competition is being hosted by Maiwei. Will they do something?" Roth asked worriedly.

Jason smiled meaningfully, "They wouldn't dare. After losing the case last time, the International Maritime Association has already set its sights on Maiwei."

The one we're most worried about this time is Maiwei.

Knock, knock,

After the assistant knocked on the glass door, he only entered after receiving a signal from Jason.

“Lin, Minister Lu,” Jason stood up and his blue eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yun Shen behind them.

"Mr. Jason, it's been a long time." Lin Ziyan greeted him, her gaze falling on Roth, her eyes deepening.

“Lu, I didn’t expect you to come.” Jason shook hands with Lu Yunshen.

Roth glanced at them, then lowered his head to continue drawing something.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group sat down.

“Mr. Jason, this is the port construction progress. When would you like to see the latest construction drawings?” Lu Qiuying took out the documents from her briefcase.

Jason nodded, took the document, and immediately put on his reading glasses to read it carefully.

Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen sat on one side of the sofa, drinking coffee and waiting for them to finish their conversation.

After agreeing on a time with Jason, Lu Qiuying hurriedly left the office.

She still had to rush to meet up with the inspection team, who came to Maiwei with a mission.

After Lu Qiuying left, Jason introduced Roth to the two of them.

“Last time, the Herbert Group found out that Yan Shen had modified Maiwei’s cargo ship, and they had been trying to find Yan Shen’s person in charge. I didn’t expect that you would come to Germany first.” Jason’s eyes were full of smiles.

He didn't know who modified the ship, but he did know that Lu Yun Shen was one of Yan Shen's people in charge.

Roth had intended to leave, but after hearing Jason's words, he looked at Lu Yunshen.

"I've been thinking about collaborating with Herbert Shipping Group for the past two days. Do they really want to contact me?" Lu Yunshen pretended not to know.

Actually, Yang Yanzhou had already given him the news before he came to Germany.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to buy parts from Herbert.

Compared to Maiwei, Herbert Group's cooperation terms were not as stringent.

Moreover, almost all of Rongkai Group's ships are custom-made from Herbert.

Rott narrowed his eyes. "Can you make that decision?"

German shipping companies are now looking to expand overseas, but they haven't been able to make any breakthroughs due to the influence of shipping companies from countries A and E.

China is their first choice.

The reason why Maiwei did not take strong measures after losing the last lawsuit is that it did not want to lose the Chinese market.

“Of course, I’m here this time to meet with more shipping companies,” Lu Yunshen said casually.

Roth pursed his lips, his gaze toward Lu Yunshen filled with inquiry.

Lin Ziyan saw the advertisement on the table, looked at Jason, and asked, "Does this international ship design competition restrict the nationality of participants?"

Jason shook his head. "You're interested in this?"

"Currently, there are no nationality restrictions, and anyone can submit an entry. The judging process will conceal the participants' information."

Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow and took out a boat she had crocheted from her bag, giving it to Jason.

She knew Jason liked collecting ship-related figurines, so when she was crocheting the dolls, she also crocheted a ship.

"This...you made this? It's amazing! You Chinese people must all have mysterious powers, right?" Jason's eyes widened as he picked up the gift, reluctant to let go.

Roth also stared at the yarn boat, a strange emotion surging in his eyes.

“Mr. Jason, you’re exaggerating. It’s just a simple crochet with yarn.” Lin Ziyan smiled slyly.

Jason's lips trembled; he couldn't find the words to describe his feelings at that moment.

If you're just crocheting a rough shape, that's fine.

However, it was made to scale and the imitation was too perfect.

"Lin, you studied ship design? But didn't you major in aquaculture in college?"

Jason snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked.

Roth stared at Lin Ziyan with the same expression as Jason.

"Yes, I've learned some." Lin Ziyan nodded, then pressed the button, and the cabin opened.

She only made a rough design when she arrived in Germany, and then added the parts.

Jason's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the ship after it opened; the interior design was almost identical to Maiwei's latest cargo ships.
