Azir laughed it off and tried to get away with it: "Ms. Ye Ling, you must have seen it wrong. These people are the staff I brought with me. It might be their first time participating in such a large-scale event, so they may be a little nervous." Ye Ling sneered: "Nervous? So nervous that you need to carry weapons?" She grabbed Azir's wrist, and the energy fluctuations at her fingertips spread along his arm, instantly reading the information on his wrist communicator.
On the communicator screen, photos of several suspicious people and operational instructions were clearly displayed.
"Now, how do you want to explain?" Ye Ling pressed on step by step, her eyes as sharp as a blade drawn from its sheath.
Azir's face suddenly changed and he stammered, unable to speak.
Duan Yu stood behind Ye Ling calmly, his powerful aura intimidating those around him who were ready to make a move.
At Ye Ling's command, the Earth security personnel who had been lying in ambush rushed forward and took all the suspicious people under control.
The atmosphere at the trade negotiation site was solemn.
Azir's side suddenly made an almost unreasonable demand: the Earth must provide a rare resource called "star core ore" in exchange for trade.
Ambassador Zhang's face turned pale: "Star core ore is our important strategic resource and can never be used for trading!" Merchant Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Mr. Azir, aren't you asking for too much? How can this business continue?" Azir put on an expression of "I can't help it": "This is the will of Her Majesty the Queen. I am also in a difficult situation." Ye Ling noticed that there was a hint of imperceptible pride in Azir's eyes.
"Star Core Ore?" Ye Ling sneered. "What a coincidence! I was just about to talk to you about your 'gamma ray stabilizer.'" She pulled up the data collected by the mecha core and projected it onto the negotiation table. "According to my analysis, your gamma ray stabilizer has a fatal flaw. Once exposed to high-intensity cosmic rays, it will collapse and even explode. And we happen to have a technology that can repair this flaw."
Azir's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that Ye Ling was so familiar with their technology.
"What do you want?" Azir asked, suppressing his anger.
Ye Ling smiled slightly: "It's very simple. We use repair technology to exchange for the mining rights of the star core mine, and re-determine the trade share, 50-50." Azir was about to refuse, and Ye Ling added: "Of course, you can also choose not to cooperate. However, if there is a problem with your gamma ray stabilizer by then, don't blame me for not reminding you." Azir's face was gloomy, weighing the pros and cons.
Ye Ling took a sip of tea calmly, confident of victory.
“Deal,” Azir gritted his teeth, “but…”
Azir bit his back teeth and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "However, the transportation of the first batch of goods must be undertaken by our people." Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and thought: This is a trick!
He remained calm and said, "Okay, but our technical staff will also have to supervise the whole process." Azr agreed with a forced smile.
The new trade plan was approved by both parties, and both parties began to prepare for the exchange of the first batch of trade goods.
Merchant Li smelled a huge business opportunity and was so excited that he started to make active preparations, eager to resell the Earth's goods to other planets and make a fortune.
Ambassador Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, finally not disappointing the expectations of the people of the world.
Outside the Diplomatic Exchange Hall, a low-key aircraft slowly landed.
Duan Yu got off the aircraft, holding an insulated box in his hand, and walked straight to Ye Ling's room.
He pushed open the door and saw Ye Ling facing the computer screen with a frown on her face.
"Are you still busy?" Duan Yu placed the insulated box on the table, opened the lid, and a familiar fragrance wafted out.
"I brought you your favorite soup dumplings. Eat them while they're hot."
When Ye Ling smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up and she instantly switched to "eater" mode, picking up the buns and starting to eat.
"Well, the buns on Earth are still delicious!" She mumbled while eating, like a little squirrel that had stolen a nut.
Duan Yu looked at her gently, his eyes full of love and doting.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you." He reached out and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a treasure.
After filling her stomach, Ye Ling returned to the computer, pulled up the cargo list, and carefully checked each item.
"Strange..." She pointed at a mark on the screen and said to herself in confusion, "Why do all these goods have this mark?"
Duan Yu took a closer look and found that it was a pattern similar to some kind of plant, emitting a faint fluorescence.
"What's this?"
Ye Ling shook her head: "I don't know, I have never seen this kind of mark. But my intuition tells me that this must not be a good thing..." Her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, called up the database of Interstellar Customs, and began to search for the source of this mark.
Suddenly, a warning message popped up on the screen: "Illegal intrusion detected, the system will automatically shut down soon!" Ye Ling's face changed, and she stood up suddenly, grabbing Duan Yu's hand: "Oh no, we may be targeted!"
