As expected, no matter what time it is, the office is the most strict. Just standing here will make you unconsciously straighten your chest, tighten your abdomen, and raise your head.
The commander-in-chief of the first base met her in person. Qiu Kan had informed her in advance that Xie Purou did not like the oppressive feeling when there were too many people, so the three of them could go in together and have a private meeting with the commander-in-chief and deputy commander.
Commander-in-chief Pei Xue looks to be in his seventies, and deputy commander Xiang Yuanhong is about the same age. Their sharp eyes are intimidating enough to make people look at each other.
As expected of a national leader, he exudes awe and awe just by sitting there.
Pei Xue looked quite peaceful. Seeing Xie Purou coming, he stood up and greeted her gently: "Miss Xie, please take a seat."
When the other party stood up to greet her, Xie Pu Rou also responded with the same respect.
"Miss Xie, please feel free to do as you please. You don't have to be polite with us two old men."
Xie Purou blinked: "Really?"
Pei Xue was stunned, as if he had not expected to be asked back: "Ms. Xie is really good at joking. Of course it's true."
Xie Pu Rou was not really rude, but took out five cups of milk tea from the space and placed them in front of each of them.
"This milk tea is delicious. Drinking something sweet makes you feel good. Let's drink and chat."
Xiang Yuanhong only glanced at the milk tea and quickly glanced away. At his age, why would he drink something that young people drink?
Pei Xue politely took the straw and put it into the milk tea, saying, "I want to try what young people like to drink nowadays."
He picked up the milk tea and took a sip slowly: "Milk tea is so fragrant?"
This was Pei Xue’s first time drinking milk tea. He had never drunk it before, let alone after the apocalypse.
Two more sips, 'smash, smash'...
Yo? Another sip! What if the more you drink, the more you crave?
Xie Pu Rou smiled knowingly. Of course, this milk tea was made specially for her using the best and most expensive tea leaves in the teahouse, and a lot of mixed spiritual spring water was used!
She wouldn't give it to anyone else! After all, this tea is expensive! She's only given it to Yue Xiwen.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye. The two leaders shouldn't be dissatisfied, right? After all, she prepared a huge bucket for them!
Xiang Yuanhong, who was always serious, saw Pei Xuedu drinking in small sips. After taking a small sip, he held the milk tea cup in front of him, frowned and looked at it, then continued to put it in his mouth and drink it.
Since the other old guy present has already drunk it, wouldn’t it be disrespectful for him not to drink it?
Xiang Yuanhong also took the cup, looked at it, inserted a straw, and sipped along with Pei Xue.
His eyes lit up. Wow! It was even more fragrant than his treasured tea. Although it wasn't very sweet, it had a different flavor that he had never tasted before.
The two of them seemed to have gotten a new toy, frowning and sniffing together, their expressions perfectly synchronized.
Qiu Kan and Yue Xiwen sat down on her left and right. Yue Xiwen seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Seeing that the two leaders were satisfied, she didn't say anything in the end.
Xie Purou gave Yue Xiwen a soothing look.
Those eyes clearly said: Don't worry, I'm smart enough to know we need to talk about business, and I didn't put any pearls in it.
Yue Xiwen gave her a helpless look, his eyes full of an expression that showed he was helpless against her.
Looking at the two leaders again, the transparent milk tea cups in their hands revealed that they had already drunk one-fifth of the milk tea, which was already very considerate.
Xie Purou sat down, acting like a spoiled brat: "Isn't it delicious? If I could do business in the base, building a business from scratch wouldn't be a problem, and I'd also be able to make delicious milk tea."
She has made up her mind not to hide anything when speaking in this dimension, so that things can be discussed and implemented quickly.
"Hahahahahaha." Pei Xue's laughter was steady and hearty, sounding like the tolerance of an elder towards a younger one.
He didn't respond, but talked about the milk tea: "This milk tea is special, the tea leaves are very fragrant."
Xie Pu Rou said frankly: "This tea is good. If you like, you can buy some in the store when it opens. It tastes good when brewed."
Pei Xue raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Xiang Yuanhong coughed softly and said, "People don't even have a good life, so we old guys don't dare to use such good things."
"Won't your life be better if you cooperate with me?" Xie Purou looked directly at Xiang Yuanhong, who was speaking softly, with a calm expression, and even his eyes were clean and pure.
"Whether or not we can let them live a good life depends entirely on your decision."
Before coming, Xie Purou had already learned from Qiu Kan that the base would cooperate with her. This was called a conversation, but in fact, the First Base also wanted to see her attitude and character.
Any little movement would definitely not escape the eyes of the two of them, so she might as well just lay it out.
He cleared his throat and spoke louder: "The base and I are friends, not enemies. We share a common goal, which is to end the apocalypse sooner so that everyone's safety will not be affected by natural disasters and zombies."
After saying these words, Xie Pu Rou relaxed her waist and simply leaned back against the chair.
She had already made her stance clear: she was determined to take over the First Base. This wasn't disrespectful to the elderly; it was simply that the two men before her hadn't lived as long as she had.
I thought the air would be stagnant for a while, but Pei Xue spoke first: "We know that Miss Xie has never done anything bad to our Huaxia. Why don't we first discuss how Miss Xie would like to cooperate?"
Xie Pu Rou frowned and asked the system. M80 only said that in order to avoid any impact after leaving the world, all matters related to cooperation with the official base would be decided by them, and points and crystal cores should be collected as needed.
Since the official base had the final say, she was happy to be free. This was someone else's territory, and she was just a tasker and a visitor to this world. The local inhabitants were responsible for this plane.
She can accept any form of cooperation as long as it does not affect her interests and tasks.
"Let me first state my conditions. I'll take the points and crystal cores as they're due. If you want me to build a house for you, you have to plan and draw the blueprints yourself and hand them over to me all at once. You can't bother me too often."
Xie Purou felt that that was about it. Oh yes, there was one most crucial point at the end.
"I won't take over the management of your base. The decision-making power still lies with you. I'm just selling supplies at the base."
Xiang Yuanhong asked: "Can we adjust your original fee upwards?"
Xie Purou asked M80 first, and when it said yes, she agreed.
Seeing her nod, Xiang Yuanhong narrowed his eyes slightly. This was not cooperation at all, it was simply letting them "slaughter"...
It was nothing like what was reported in the previous investigation, which said that the girl destroyed the base over a disagreement and killed everyone in the base, leaving only a few behind to take back to her own territory.
Their investigation revealed that this person was the same person as the girl in front of them???
