Just as Chen Yu was lost in thought, a gentle voice interrupted him.
"Mr. Chen, would you like a cup of hot coffee to warm yourself up?" Liu Menghan said softly, holding a steaming cup of coffee in her hand and handing it to Chen Yu.
"Slurp~" Lin Lele, who was standing next to her, just took a small sip of coffee and made a satisfied sound.
"Hmm, not bad, Xiao Liu, you're getting better and better at it." Lin Lele praised, while giving Liu Menghan an approving look. "You have a bright future. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
"It is my honor to serve Secretary Lin," Liu Menghan replied with a smile, her face radiating confidence and humility.
"Ms. Liu, is this coffee freshly ground? Tsk~ It smells so good! I haven't had freshly ground coffee in ages!" Niu Ke also held a cup of coffee in his hand, took a deep sniff of the aroma, and said with a look of pure delight.
Although he held the position of Deputy Minister of Science and Technology at Tianyu Base, making him a high-ranking leader, coffee beans were not among the supplies the base provided him with. As a Merika, when he felt the urge to drink coffee, he would at most make a cup of instant coffee that he had obtained from the base's residents, which naturally greatly diminished the taste.
"Hehe, yes, Mr. Niu Ke, these coffee beans are the ones I've painstakingly collected until now. I brought them out especially for everyone to try." Liu Menghan responded with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of pride and satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ke was full of praise: "Ms. Liu, you are truly our little sun, always bringing us surprises and warmth."
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu frowned and said, "Liu Menghan, stop playing these tricks and focus on your work."
Upon hearing this, Liu Menghan's smile froze instantly. She said with a wronged expression, "I... I didn't mean to. I just wanted the leaders to relax a bit during their long flight. After all, the task we are about to face is very challenging, and we need to maintain the best mental state."
"That's right, sir. Xiao Liu kindly prepared all this, and you still say such things about her." Lin Lele said indignantly, "Really, if you don't drink it, I will. It's such a waste to waste such good coffee."
As she spoke, Lin Lele took the cup of coffee that Liu Menghan had handed to Chen Yu.
"Gurgle."
She drank it down in one gulp.
"Awesome!" Lin Lele wiped the coffee foam from the corner of her mouth, sighed with lingering satisfaction, and turned to look at Chen Yu with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Xiao Liu, let's go, we can't be bothered with him." Lin Lele pulled Liu Menghan and walked towards another area inside the airship.
Chen Yu was somewhat helpless. Was Lin Lele's brain filled with mush?
How long has it been, and you've already gotten this close to Liu Menghan?
Shaking his head, Chen Yu stopped thinking about it. Whatever Liu Menghan wanted to achieve, she would have to get past him first. If he didn't give in, Liu Menghan would never have a chance.
His gaze returned to the ground below, and he immediately lost interest.
After all, everywhere was covered in snow, and the scenery was pretty much the same everywhere, so there wasn't much to see.
"Old Niu, I'm leaving this to you. I'm a bit tired, I'm going back to rest for a while," Chen Yu said to Niu Si Ke, his voice tinged with weariness.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ke immediately looked away from the coffee on the table and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, please go and rest. I will keep an eye on things here and will notify you immediately if anything happens."
"Hehe, since you want to drink, then drink it." Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
"I... Mr. Chen, you've misunderstood. What kind of person am I, Niu Ke? How could I be bought off by that little Liu with just a cup of coffee? This is no joke." Niu Ke quickly waved his hand to clarify, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.
Having been in Daxia for so long, he had some discernment; he immediately noticed that Chen Yu seemed to have some prejudice against Liu Menghan.
Chen Yu looked at Niu Si Ke's slightly nervous explanation, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He patted Niu Si Ke on the shoulder and said, "Old Niu, don't be nervous, I didn't mean anything by it. How about this, since you like coffee, I'll send you a batch of top-quality coffee beans later."
His extradimensional space contains supplies from several giant ports in Merica and the White Bear Kingdom; what could he not have?
He didn't really like coffee, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. But since Newsk liked it, sending him some coffee beans was just a small favor.
"Really? Mr. Chen, you are so generous!" Upon hearing this, Niu Ke's face instantly lit up with a surprised smile, and his eyes sparkled with gratitude.
"Hehe." Chen Yu smiled faintly and patted Niu Siqi on the shoulder. "Work hard."
After saying that, he strode towards his luxurious private suite.
"Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen."
…………
Along the way, the staff members all nodded and greeted Chen Yu with fawning expressions, to which he responded with a slight nod, his steps steady, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
To make it convenient for him to work, his room is not too far from the command center.
After walking through several corridors, Chen Yu soon arrived at his room door.
The access control system detected Chen Yu's biometric information, emitted a soft "ding," and the door slowly opened.
At the same time, a gentle female voice, perfectly natural, rang out from inside the room: "Hello, Mr. Chen. You've worked hard, Mr. Chen."
This is not a real voice; it's a pre-set welcome message.
