Lu Yuan sat in his seat, looking at the group of people with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenguang quickly tried to smooth things over.
"No, no, no, Brother Lu Yuan, you're overthinking it! Today, we mainly want to discuss something with you! We want to lay things out on the table!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback after hearing this: "What do you mean? Explain it clearly? Sorry, I didn't understand! What do you mean? You called me here not to take away my spot?"
Jiang Wenguang nodded quickly: "Yes! Of course we didn't mean that!! It was my fault before! I mainly want to apologize to you today!"
The leader of Jinling District standing to the side also nodded.
He beckoned behind him with his finger, and immediately a waiter brought over a wooden box.
He took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and said, "Mr. Lu, you must know a little about my affair with Wenguang, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, wondering why the other person wanted to tell him these things.
After all, just the day before, they acted as if they wanted to kill me, but today they're treating me to dinner and apologizing.
Lu Yuan felt a little confused, after all, the other party's attitude was really that they came to apologize, which felt a bit unreal to Lu Yuan.
Then, the leader of the Jinling District nodded to the waiter beside him again.
"Mr. Lu, I would like to apologize on behalf of my nephew for the trouble my nephew caused you before! I hope you can accept it!"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Wenguang, who was standing next to him, immediately stood up and bowed to Lu Yuan.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu. I didn't recognize your greatness and offended you. Please don't hold it against me!"
Hearing what the other person said, Lu Yuan didn't know how to respond. He still couldn't quite accept this 360-degree turn in the other person's mind.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then looked at the leader of Jinling District and said.
"What exactly do you want? Just tell me directly! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"
After hearing this, the other person and Jiang Wenguang exchanged a glance and then both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew! We'll tell you then!"
Jiang Wenguang swallowed hard, then looked at his uncle and, after confirming that the other man nodded, finally spoke.
"Actually, it's like this. We always thought you were just a small camp nearby and didn't take it seriously. But later we realized we were wrong! Your camp is actually quite formidable, and your story is quite legendary!"
When Lu Yuan heard the other person still flattering him, he immediately frowned and interrupted them.
"Stop! Stop flattering me! It's pointless! What I need to know is why you came to me in the first place!"
"Alright! I'll get to it now! First of all, we've discussed it, and while the No. 3 rice we have is already quite good, it's still a bit beyond our capabilities to win a national ranking! So, we'd like to cooperate with you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "That's more like it! You should have said you wanted to cooperate earlier! I had no idea what you were up to!"
"Yes! Secondly, we actually want to build a relationship with you! We know about your legendary experiences and admire you greatly! So, we want to use your connections to help us get some rewards! Of course, we won't let you help us for nothing! I'm willing to give you anything!"
Jiang Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief after saying this. He had never known how to express these things, but now Lu Yuan didn't like beating around the bush.
He could only tell everything, and after he finished, he felt like a fish on a chopping board.
Whether to wait to be scaled and killed or to be thrown into the water and released is up to Lu Yuan to decide.
After hearing the other party's thoughts, Lu Yuan immediately understood what they wanted to do.
They were after his connections; after all, with his extensive experience, he must know a lot of people, and Lu Yuan wasn't some marginalized figure.
He is usually a local leader in a certain place, so basically many people know him.
If Jiang Wenguang could curry favor with him, perhaps his plants would be fine.
However, Lu Yuan did not want to advance through this method; it was meaningless. He wanted to see real talent and learn more about the country's and the world's understanding of the annihilation issue through these experiences.
After all, nothing seems to be happening in the Annihilation Zone right now, but if it erupts, the people and creatures inside will be in real danger.
However, Lu Yuan's current abilities are very weak, and he has no idea how to deal with what's to come.
In case a problem does arise, we'll know how to deal with it.
Seeing Lu Yuan deep in thought, Jiang Wenguang felt a little anxious and looked up at his uncle.
The other person shook their head slightly, indicating that Lu Yuan should continue thinking and not be disturbed.
Jiang Wenguang could only sit quietly in his seat and wait for Lu Yuan to speak.
After a long while, Lu Yuan finally raised his head and spoke.
"Cooperation is possible! But it can't be done according to your ideas!"
Jiang Wenguang immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"Mr. Lu, please tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely agree!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! Let me tell you my conditions!"
Then, Lu Yuan got up, went to the sofa next to him, picked up a lighter, and lit a cigarette.
"First of all, we need my plants! To be honest, your plants are really not good! With the condition of your No. 3 rice variety, it's almost impossible for it to make it to the finals!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wenguang couldn't help but exchange a glance with his uncle.
"Alright! I agree. I knew Mr. Lu, you must have better plants here than we do!"
"Okay! Second requirement! Whether or not I'm willing to pull strings is up to me! You can't control my decision!"
"No problem! I agree on Wenguang's behalf!"
"Okay! Thirdly, you will cover all expenses! Is that alright?"
Jiang Wenguang immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course! We must take responsibility for this! By the way, I heard that Mr. Lu, your camp is short of ore, is that right?"
After listening, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at the other person.
Jiang Wenguang quickly waved his hand and explained, "What I mean is! Our camp has a lot of ore, but no market for it. If Mr. Lu is willing to help solve this problem, that would be wonderful!"
Lu Yuan's face remained expressionless, but he was secretly overjoyed.
"Then I'll reluctantly agree! Alright! In that case, let's consider this a formal collaboration!"
