Li Xin'er's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't noticed their changes. Seeing Minister Wang come out with a happy face, she couldn't wait to end her conversation with Lu Zheng.
She wondered why Lu Zheng had time to wait here with her.
So, his real intention wasn't what he seemed; he was just trying to win her over.
"Minister Wang, how is it? Are the numbers and categories correct?"
Minister Wang handed the list he had just checked to Lu Zheng with both hands, while answering Li Xin'er's questions.
"No problem, it's the same as on the list."
Since he had already said that, without Li Xin'er needing to say anything more, Lu Zheng stopped checking the list and handed it back to Minister Wang.
Lu Zheng turned to Li Xin'er and asked, "Should I have the final payment delivered to your room?"
"Can."
Lu Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, there's another business deal I'd like to discuss with Miss Li. I wonder how long Miss Li plans to stay at the base?"
He had previously indicated that he wanted Li Xin'er to stay at the base long-term, but Li Xin'er refused, citing that she still had business in S City.
Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow slightly. It really had to be a big client.
"I originally planned to leave as soon as this deal was settled, but since the base commander said there are other deals, I can certainly wait a little longer."
She originally planned to leave after the transaction, but now that there's an 'interesting' Yu Wanling at the base, she's a little 'reluctant' to leave.
This was the answer Lu Zheng wanted to hear, and he smiled slightly.
"Miss Li can stay at the base as long as she wants, there's no rush."
"If you want to do business, the Spark Base is a good option, Miss Li..."
Seeing that Lu Zheng was starting again, Li Xin'er quickly interrupted him.
"Okay, I'll think about what the base commander says."
With that, she turned and walked away, saying, "I'll go back to my room now."
Minister Wang still needed to handle the follow-up matters here. Lu Zheng followed with two guards, and didn't bring up the topic again.
"Alright, I'll send someone to take you back. Jin'an might be busy these next couple of days. If Miss Li is bored, you can have You Su show you around the base. I'm sure Miss Li will like the Starfire Base."
Li Xin'er couldn't help but ask, "What is Lu Jin'an busy with?"
Lu Jin'an's previous job was to follow her side closely, so she was quite curious about what had happened.
Thinking back to Lu Jin'an's harsh rejection of Yu Wanling, Li Xin'er's lips twitched slightly, a hint of regret in her eyes...
Points mean she can see more high-tech products.
Lu Zhenggang explained that Lu Jin'an had something to do, so he had no intention of hiding it from Li Xin'er.
"Jin An reported to the base about the time you passed through Jianxi Village on your way here."
"So you're going to bring the villagers to the base?"
Lu Zheng shook his head, "We don't know exactly where we'll go yet, but we'll definitely offer some help."
Li Xin'er nodded knowingly, looking as if she understood.
"Oh, so it seems you've set your sights on the mutated monkeys of Jianxi Village."
Lu Zheng did not deny it, saying, "We currently know very little about mutated beasts, so we should seize this opportunity."
Li Xin'er wasn't interested in how they planned to resolve the issues, but because she had a good impression of the people from Jianxi Village, she added a few words.
"No matter what, don't hurt them."
They included not only the villagers but also the mutated monkeys.
Being able to enter the base and join the main force is a good thing for them.
They couldn't stay in that place forever, and she couldn't keep sending them supplies indefinitely.
Coming out into the world and facing this apocalypse will also help them survive better.
"Miss Li, rest assured, the base knows what it's doing."
This is why Jin An insisted on making the trip herself after hearing about it.
Lu Zheng returned to his office, while Li Xin'er was escorted back to her room by the two people who had brought her to see Lu Zheng earlier.
Not long after they returned, Yu Su brought a space-type ability user with a crystal core.
Upon receiving 40,000 Level 1 crystal cores, Li Xin'er immediately deposited them into her spatial supermarket.
Current points balance:
Just as she finished with all that, Yu Wanling made another move.
She went to the Lan family home and was currently talking to Lan Mingxuan in the living room.
"I just like being in the medical department. I have healing abilities, so I'm suited to be on the front lines treating patients."
Her eyes were filled with tears, and a hint of pleading in them.
"Mingxuan, please help me. Talk to the deputy base commander and see if you can..."
Lan Mingxuan felt incredibly sorry for Yu Wanling. He struggled to suppress his impulses and gently spoke to her:
"Sister Wanling...I want to help you too...but..."
He looked troubled.
His father had just warned him last night not to get involved in this matter, otherwise he wouldn't be able to continue as the patrol captain.
Don't be fooled by how much his dad spoils him; when it comes to important matters concerning him, nothing his dad says will make a difference.
He's still quite afraid of his father.
Yu Wanling truly burst into tears this time, the tears streaming down her face; she didn't need to act at all.
"But I had no freedom at all there. I was like a criminal who had made a mistake, and I was locked in the house the whole time."
Her shoulders trembled. "If I hadn't offered my terms today, I wouldn't have had the chance to see you."
Lan Mingxuan sat down next to Yu Wanling. Seeing how heartbroken she was, he felt bad for her too. He moved closer and tentatively put his arm around her shoulder.
"Sister Wanling, don't cry."
"Things might not be as complicated as you think."
Seeing that Yu Wanling didn't try to avoid him, Lan Mingxuan's eyes lit up with a smile of joy. He tightened his grip on Yu Wanling's arm.
At the same time, he moved his seat much closer to Yu Wanling, and the two were pressed tightly together.
She had always treated him like a younger brother, and whenever they had even the slightest contact, she would exaggerate and say that she wanted to avoid suspicion because she was afraid that Lu Yu would misunderstand. He had also tried to explain to Sister Wanling that there was nothing between him and Lu Yu, but Sister Wanling was very simple and naive and didn't believe him at all.
He believed Lu Yu's stupid words and was convinced that he and Lu Yu were engaged, childhood sweethearts, and a match made in heaven.
While Lan Mingxuan was still engrossed in his self-consolidation, from an angle he couldn't see, Yu Wanling, who was crying sadly with her head down, revealed a smug smile.
"Ding, mission target Lan Mingxuan, favorability +2, current favorability value 80%."
"20 points redeemed successfully, current points balance 50."
She's got points again, and this time, she's going to make good use of them to turn the tide!
"Sister Wanling?"
Yu Wanling snapped out of her daze as Lan Mingxuan shook her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Mingxuan, I was just so scared... I..."
"It's alright, Sister Wanling. You still have me. Don't worry, I'm here. At most, Liu Zhiyuan will restrict your freedom. He won't dare to really do anything to you."
Lan Mingxuan's words did not comfort Yu Wanling. What did he mean by "at most restricting freedom"?
