Chapter 457: Chatting Up
As long as no one died, no one would intervene, which made the subsequent battles extremely bloody and gradually attracted the attention of many people.
Zhuang Mingxu, who had successfully negotiated several deals with several bases, had just said goodbye to a team. Before he could drink the water he had taken from the space, he saw a particularly eye-catching woman in a bright red dress, holding a man with a different appearance and style in one hand, walking towards Lu Weiyi.
There were staff members setting up the venue for an afternoon exhibition of equipment. Considering what had been promised to Zhuang Mingxu, the Kyoto base also wanted to take the opportunity to promote some of the newly developed products.
"Who is that?" Li Zhuang was simply acting as a bodyguard. He would not say a word unless the subject concerned him, and he did not even bother to remember the people coming from each base.
"Ling Shengge, the younger sister of the captain of the Jiaoyang Team at the Mengbei Base." Zhuang Mingxu's good memory was fully demonstrated at this time.
After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he strode towards Lu Weiyi's direction. The other people in the team might not know this woman's character, but Zhuang Mingxu knew it all clearly. After all, she was considered a figure to be specially marked out among so many bases, although the reason was not positive.

"Captain Lu, what a coincidence." Lu Weiyi had already noticed someone approaching, but when he found out it was a woman with two ordinary people, he didn't pay any more attention to it. When he heard the greeting, he nodded in response and asked the person in charge for the layout map of this place.
Although it is not known how many items will be exhibited and sold at the Kyoto base this time, Yuebanwan brought quite a few. The instruments are of different heights and sizes. Some need to be placed on the ground, while others need to have a raised base for greater convenience.
"Have the areas been separated in advance?" Lu Weiyi asked the person in charge.
"With this as the dividing line, to the left is the Kyoto Base, and to the right is the Yuebanwan Base." The forty-something person in charge did not give in to Lu Weiyi's age. He introduced the pre-planned design with a very respectful attitude, and finally asked, "Captain Lu, is there anything you need to change?"
"While the staff is here, we can arrange everything for you at once."
Lu Weiyi scanned the space and drew a simple outline on the soil with a pen. "These places need platforms, about this high, 1*1 meter in size, and the distance between them can be a little farther, at least three meters..."
After communicating for a while and making sure that the person in charge understood, Lu Weiyi turned over and prepared to go to the team rest area. When he turned around, he found that the woman who had just spoken was still there.
"Looking for me?" Seeing that she was staring at him, Lu Weiyi asked.
The woman lowered her eyes and smiled, "I've heard of your name, Director Lu, for a long time, and I want to meet you."
"I'm Ling Shengge from the Jiaoyang Team at Changhong Base, a metal-type mutant." Ling Shengge stretched out her hand towards Lu Weiyi.
As soon as Lu Weiyi held it, he felt the woman's thumb gently rubbing his fingers. It was a little sticky and soft, like the feeling when he was a child and fell into a quagmire and couldn't get out no matter how hard he struggled. It made him feel physically disgusted.
"Captain Lu, everyone says that your ability level is very high. Do you have time to teach me? I'm eager to learn." Ling Shengge moved her fair cheek close to Lu Weiyi. The hot air she exhaled when she spoke could hit people's faces. Her pair of dark eyes were cunning.
Lu Weiyi pulled his hand back forcefully, took out a wet wipe from the space, carefully wiped his fingers one by one, and threw it into the trash can beside him without mercy, and refused in a cold tone, "I'm busy."
When Ling Shengge walked over, some people around were secretly paying attention to this side. Seeing her blatantly flirting with Lu Weiyi, although many people looked at her with contempt, there were also people who hoped that this pathfinder could succeed and provide everyone with some channels to get close to Lu Weiyi.
Seeing that Lu Weiyi had a calm expression and his actions were just short of expressing his dislike clearly, many women who disliked Ling Shengge sneered loudly.
"Some people just don't know their own limitations. They really think they are so beautiful that all men want to hook up with them."
"That's right, don't you look in the mirror? He's a big shot, he can get whatever he wants, why would he have to get involved with someone who's been screwed?"
"He probably thinks he's very great. I heard that he even keeps male lovers in the base, and the news of him snatching good-looking men on the street has spread to other bases."
"Don't say that. She can't live without a man. Didn't you see that she came all the way here for the meeting and brought a few male lovers with her?"
…
The discussions around her only made Ling Shengge's face darken slightly, but then she immediately recovered. She pushed the man who came with her and silently raised her eyes in the direction where Lu Weiyi left.
The two men hesitated for two seconds, then immediately chased in the direction of Lu Weiyi. Ling Shengge followed closely behind and stood beside them. Unlike when they came, when she stood on each side, it was Lu Weiyi who stood between the two men.
"Hello, Base Captain Lu, can I ask you something about the Yuebanwan Base?" A handsome young man spoke first, and as he spoke with a smile, his pair of sparkling eyes were full of admiration.
"No." The Yuebanwan base no longer accepts civilians, so there is no need to inquire about the news anymore. Lu Weiyi refused flatly.
The man was choked for a moment, and another man with a very handsome appearance and physique immediately said, "I heard that the soldiers in your base are still looking for their families. I have a family member who used to serve in the army, and I have always wanted to find him, but I don't know where to find his information."
"You can register your information level and the information of the person you are looking for. If it is in our base, the base will communicate with your respective bases."
"Then can I register this time? There is no place to register this information in our Changhong base."
"Yes, you can leave your information at any Flame Base Trading Hall in Kyoto Base."
"That's great. Maybe one day I can be reunited with my family."
"Um".
"Thank you so much. I've always heard that you treat ordinary people equally. Many ordinary people in the base admire you very much." The man chattered incessantly, talking to himself, without feeling embarrassed.
"Look at your admiration for me, you're almost ready to pledge your love to me. Why don't you just follow Commander Lu?" Ling Shengge joked.
"You're joking. Base Captain Lu... definitely doesn't think highly of me." The man said this, but his eyes were looking at Lu Weiyi tentatively, as if he was waiting for him to speak.
Originally, the other party was broad-shouldered and long-legged, and he was very humble. He was able to maintain his demeanor even when surrounded by people with special abilities, which made Lu Weiyi feel a little bit appreciative of him. However, the seductive aura that the other party inadvertently exuded at this time was even worse than that of the people in the Young Master's House before the apocalypse, which immediately made people feel a little disgusted.
Lu Weiyi ignored the three people and looked at Zhuang Mingxu who was striding towards him not far away.
Ling Shengge also recognized the person, but she did not show him the same respect as others did, and she did not even have the intention to greet him. In her opinion, an ordinary person like Zhuang Mingxu could only hold the position of base leader by relying on the support of Lu Weiyi, a love-brained psychic.
How long he can stay in this position depends on Lu Weiyi's attitude. Looking at Zhuang Mingxu's eagerness to come over, we know that the other party also knows it.
The corners of Ling Shengge's mouth curled up slightly.
"I have something to talk to you about. Is this over?" Zhuang Mingxu glanced at Ling Shengge and the two men who had been following him, then looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything and followed him out. Ling Shengge stayed where she was, watching the two men leave. The two men beside her quietly reduced their presence.
He went all the way back to the team's temporary resting place without waiting for Zhuang Mingxu to speak.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Li Zhuang and Xu Yi watched together why Zhuang Mingxu left, and now they turned around and listened to his excuses.
Zhuang Mingxu handed him a bottle of water and said slowly, "I see that the repaired area over there is not big. I don't know if it can accommodate the things we brought. I was thinking whether we should go together to discuss with the people in Kyoto base to expand the area."
"Puchi" Xu Yi laughed, and then pretended to be calm and ate snacks seriously.
Li Zhuang had his legs on the stool with a smile on his face, but his sunglasses blocked his view and it was impossible to tell where his eyes were looking.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't feel embarrassed at all, especially since Lu Weiyi obviously thought what he said was true. He looked at the venue that had been changed a lot at his request and thought carefully, "No need."
"We have a limited team, so we'll only need to place one or two instruments of each type for demonstration. The display stands I've arranged according to the types should be enough."
"That's good." Zhuang Mingxu asked him to sit down, talked about the afternoon's arrangements, and smoothly revealed what had just happened.
It was a pity that Xu Yi, the troublemaker, obviously didn't think so. He asked bluntly, "The woman just now almost let the two people around her push you. Didn't you notice?"
"Found it."
"Then can you still chat with them?" Xu Yi originally just wanted to have some fun, but when the fun came, he glanced at Zhuang Mingxu's unreactive face and somehow felt a little guilty.
"There are so many people who want to rob me, I can't just hit them for this."
Xu Yi looked surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, it did seem to make sense, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Someone came towards them carrying a huge food bag and looked at the four people who were sitting and resting, "Hello, leaders. We have prepared some new snacks today. Captain Zheng asked me to bring some to you."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Mingxu took it, sent the man away, and explained, "Zheng Yi said this morning that their team hunted a batch of mutant chickens yesterday. The store is making braised meat today, so I asked him to send some over to help you kill time."
When the bags were opened, the lunch boxes were filled with chicken parts, chicken necks, chicken feet, chicken hearts and other odds and ends, as well as braised tofu, edamame and peanuts.
Xu Yi took a look and his eyes immediately lit up, "Give me a bottle of beer."
"Be more restrained, in public." Although Lu Weiyi said this, he still took out a dozen from the space.
