Lu Zheng thought about the information Li Xin'er had given him; perhaps he could actually gain something unexpected from her.
"Later, Lao Wang from logistics will compile the transaction list, and I'll go there myself."
The implication is that he will ask around.
Seeing that he had already made a decision, neither Lu Jin'an nor You Su said anything more.
Before dinner, Lu Zheng, along with Minister Wang (whom Li Xin'er had met before), Lu Jin'an, and You Su, knocked on the door of Li Xin'er's room.
"Miss Li, here is a list of the goods we wish to trade. Please take a look."
After sitting down, Minister Wang politely handed the list that Lu Zheng had confirmed to Li Xin'er.
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
Li Xin'er took the page and quickly flipped through it, while Minister Wang watched from the side, looking quite nervous.
Minister Wang was not involved in the last batch of satellite equipment; this is his first transaction with Li Xin'er.
He was unaware of Li Xin'er's capabilities, and initially gave a very conservative number of categories.
When he took it to Lu Zheng for his signature, Lu Zheng waved his hand and more than tripled the original amount.
Minister Wang was surprised, noting the current shortage of supplies, and said tactfully:
"Base Commander, isn't this... isn't this a little too much?"
Lu Zheng gave him a calm look.
"Don't worry, she has the ability. Just let them hurry up and prepare the crystal cores."
Others may not know, but Lu Zheng had received news from Lu Chen in S City and had personally witnessed the arrival of those supplies, so he trusted Li Xin'er completely.
Even with Lu Zheng's affirmation, Minister Wang was still a little worried, thinking that if it didn't work, they could reduce it by half.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Xinghuo Base has stored some things. With so many people eating every day, no one can complain about having too much. I'm afraid it won't last long.
Yu Su stood guard outside. Inside the house, besides Minister Wang, Lu Zheng and his son Lu Jin'an were also present.
Compared to Minister Wang's worries, the father and son seemed much calmer.
After reviewing the list, Li Xin'er gave a clear answer.
"These supplies are fine. We need to place an order now, and we can deliver them to you in three days."
She doesn't mind revealing her strength, but she doesn't want to make it clear that she has a lot of supplies.
Give them three days to speculate on the source of the supplies.
"Is...is it possible!?"
Minister Wang couldn't maintain his composure; his mouth gaped open like a goose egg.
"Um."
Li Xin'er nodded. Although these supplies were varied, they were not a large order compared to satellite equipment.
She held a stack of lists in her right hand and slowly tapped them against her left palm.
"These supplies total 80,000 Level 1 crystal cores."
This was less than the number of crystal cores Minister Wang had expected, and a smile spread across Minister Wang's face.
"Eighty thousand is no problem."
"Okay, pay half the deposit first, and pay the balance after inspection in three days."
Lu Zheng knew her rules very well, and without Minister Wang asking, he agreed first.
"I'll have someone deliver the deposit shortly."
After the transaction was concluded, and seemingly realizing that Lu Zheng had other matters to discuss, Minister Wang discreetly stated that he had other things to attend to and left early on his own.
After Minister Wang left, Lu Zheng told Li Xin'er without holding anything back what had happened at the base's medical department that day.
When it comes to this matter, probably no one knows it better than Li Xin'er.
Li Xin'er was also quite surprised that Lu Zheng would ask her. She didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced at Lu Jin'an.
It's likely that Lu Jin'an brought it up to Lu Zheng.
Lu Jin'an immediately understood Li Xin'er's meaning and explained:
"I think you know a lot, and maybe you even know something about that lifebuoy."
He was also worried that Li Xin'er wouldn't like them doing this, so he quickly added,
"We can also pay for the information."
Li Xin'er is willing to sell them information about mutated beasts and zombie upgrades, so she probably won't refuse if it's really convenient.
Lu Zheng chimed in, saying that he had never intended to get something for nothing and would definitely pay the due fees.
“Jin An is right. If Miss Li knows, please name your price. If it is within my budget, we would like to know as soon as possible.”
No wonder he's in the top position; in just a few words, he covered everything perfectly.
The price is reasonable; they will definitely buy it. If it's too high, they won't be able to afford it.
As for whether they genuinely couldn't afford it or were deliberately trying to lower the price, Li Xin'er didn't know, since she hadn't even gone to the base's warehouse to check.
He specifically mentioned that it was so he could find out as soon as possible, as soon as possible...
This means that regardless of whether Li Xin'er is willing to talk or not, they will investigate to the end, and Lu Zheng is very confident that they will definitely be able to find out.
"I do know some information about this, and since you're curious, I can share some of it with you."
Li Xin'er's hand, resting on the armrest, was slightly raised as she gestured with her index finger.
"Same as before, 10,000 crystal cores."
Actually, although she didn't intend to say everything at first, she really didn't expect to bring up the matter of collecting crystal cores.
Since they are so proactive and conscientious, she won't complain about having too many crystal cores.
We will accept them without fail.
Lu Zheng's lips curled into a smile, clearly satisfied with the price, and also very glad they had chosen to consult Li Xin'er; they hadn't expected her to actually know.
"Okay, 10,000 crystal cores is no problem."
Seeing how readily he agreed, and how he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, Li Xin'er suddenly felt she hadn't accepted enough and added:
"The difference is that this time it's one problem for every 10,000 crystal cores."
Earn as much as you can.
Lu Zheng paused for a moment, then his smile widened even further.
"Okay, no problem."
He thought it was great that Li Xin'er liked crystal cores; at least she had a clear goal.
The scary thing is that you don't even know what she wants. That's what makes her such a mysterious and powerful person so worrying.
Li Xin'er was satisfied and said happily,
"I just like dealing with straightforward people like the base commander."
She had originally planned to leak Yu Wanling's information to the base, but now it's all come to her doorstep, even with a free crystal core—she's thrilled!
Lu Jin'an, standing to the side, took in the expressions of the two of them, feeling a sense of clarity from the outside.
Yes, it's confirmed. Both parties are very happy with the collaboration.
"What questions does the base commander want to ask? Should he ask now, or go back and think them through?"
Lu Zheng already had a plan in mind, so he didn't need to think about it anymore; the question he wanted to ask immediately came to mind.
"I'll ask now."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin'er immediately sat up straight, looking attentively as if to say, "You speak, I'm listening."
"Yu Wanling said she picked up the lifebuoy, but... whose lifebuoy is it?"
If Yu Wanling really found it, knowing the owner of the lifebuoy, she would naturally be able to find the source of the material.
As soon as Lu Zheng finished speaking, Li Xin'er gave her answer without hesitation.
"It belongs to Yu Wanling; she lied to you."
