The restaurant's automatic door opened, and a beautifully dressed waitress greeted us. "Hello, ma'am, do you have a reservation?"
"Mr. Lu has made an appointment with me." Lin Qingqing glanced inside. The place was still magnificent, with bright lights during the day and even heating.
The security personnel were all hidden in the dark and inconspicuous places, and everything before my eyes looked like a high-end restaurant in a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Mr. Lu has booked a private room. Please follow me." The waitress smiled appropriately, bowed slightly, made an inviting gesture, and led Lin Qingqing to the door of a private room.
The door opened from the inside, revealing Lu Geng's face. He greeted him excitedly, "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly. The big bug was quite capable. He actually knew she was coming through the door. But why was he so anxious?
Lu Geng sent the waiter away and invited Lin Qingqing to sit down. On the table was a hot pot. The soup base was boiling, emitting bursts of white hot steam, and the aroma of meat and bones filled the air.
"Whatever you want." Lu Geng pointed at the pot and said, while he scratched the vegetable plate and started to chew the raw vegetable leaves with a crunching sound.
Lin Qingqing was not polite and ate a few slices of mutton. "Where's the communicator I want?"
"Over there." Lu Geng pointed to the left.
Lin Qingqing looked in the direction he pointed and saw a black plastic bag on the chair: "How many are there? How many crystal cores do you need?"
"There are more than a dozen of them. You can take them later. Why mention crystal cores? That's so awkward." Lu Geng said, and then he lost his temper: "Li Shenghua is coming to Beijing! What should I do?"
Lin Qingqing: Uh, a bug with true love.
Still a generous bug.
"Did anything irreversible happen before you left Liancheng?" Lin Qingqing decided to be Chongzi's good friend.
"I... I don't know why my brother suspected me and investigated me everywhere. I was afraid that I would be exposed sooner or later, so I used a trick to escape... Well, in other words, they thought I was dead."
Lu Geng was extremely worried. He couldn't find anyone to talk to, and he couldn't contact Lin Qingqing, the only person who knew the truth. He was almost suffocating.
Lin Qingqing thought to herself: Your brother suspects you because you put coriander in the spicy hot pot and ate the rose pot.
But she said, "What does this have to do with Li Shenghua going to Beijing? You should avoid her first!"
"It's unavoidable." Lu Geng rolled his eyes at Lin Qingqing. "I've got an identity now and am working at the State-owned Assets Management Bureau. Li Shenghua is now representing Liancheng in Beijing, and the capital is about to hold a national post-disaster reconstruction conference. We will definitely meet."
"If it was someone else, I would eat...or kill her, but..." Lu Geng sighed. That was the woman he had always dreamed of marrying!
It’s not that I can’t live without her!
But he couldn't bring himself to do anything to her.
He didn't want to give up the new identity he had worked so hard to obtain.
"I see... Let me think about it."
What about the State-owned Assets Bureau? Should she sneak in now, empty the supplies, and let the capital base collapse first? Then they would abandon this place as soon as possible and work hard to build the western headquarters?
According to historical records, construction of the Western Base began at the beginning of the apocalypse. However, due to disagreements among various parties, who felt that the area was uninhabited and lacked suitable land for farming, progress was slow.
Lin Qingqing thought about this and unknowingly finished several plates of mutton rolls, beef rolls, and pork belly...
Until she got tired of eating meat and put her chopsticks on the lettuce in front of Lu Geng, Lu Geng couldn't help but ask, "Have you figured it out?"
Lin Qingqing paused her chopsticks and came up with a bad idea, "How about you escape again?"
Lu was furious, his two insect tentacles bulging on his forehead. "If I wanted to escape again, why would I come to you?"
That’s true.
Lin Qingqing poured a drink into her cup and thought for a moment, "When will you have the meeting?"
"This is a military secret!" Lu Geng blurted out.
Lin Qingqing's heart moved. Lu Geng still treated her as a human being.
Yes! He's almost 30, and his diet might have changed due to genetic changes, making it impossible to control his cravings.
But he is a soldier, the kind of person who climbed up step by step on his own. He has a strong will and clear goals, so he can avoid having his thoughts and consciousness controlled by the insects.
She put down the cup and became more serious. "I may not be able to stay in Beijing for a few days if your meeting is soon. Then you can arrange an identity for me. As long as I am by your side, even if Li Shenghua sees you resurrected from the dead, he will not expose you on the spot."
After hearing this, Lu Geng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and fell into deep thought.
Lin Qingqing did not urge her. It was not a good time to go directly to the State-owned Assets Bureau. She wanted to deal with the affairs of Liancheng first.
Moreover, before she recovered her memory, the things and people she came into contact with were not enough to make her qualified to make decisions for this country.
When both of them were quiet, there was a soft knock on the door, followed by a gentle female voice, "Mr. Lu, can I come in? Someone brought you some fruit."
Fruit? Lu Geng looked at Lin Qingqing inquiringly. Lin Qingqing shook her head, and Lu Geng snorted coldly, "Get lost!"
The footsteps outside hurried away.
Uh... Is Big Bug doing very well in the capital?
Every time he shouted "get out", he did so with such force that he could swallow up all the mountains and rivers.
Lin Qingqing looked up with admiration, "Can you tell me now? When are you going to have the meeting? Also, whatever official position you have now, please don't give me the job of serving tea and water. I won't do that."
After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, she jokingly said, "The last time I saw you, you were still a foreman."
"That was just a cover-up..." Lu Geng was speechless. He had only disguised himself when Lin Qingqing ran into him. "You asked for trouble by creating a top-grade durian. It made people jealous, and that's why so many people are eyeing you."
As for who were the people who were thinking about her, Lu Geng didn't say, and Lin Qingqing didn't ask. In this world, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.
