Unexpectedly, just a week after returning home, the injured person died mysteriously. The most amazing thing is that on the seventeenth planet, which adheres to the principle of "burying the body intact and ensuring peace in the earth", the family actually sent the injured person to the crematorium the day after the death. They didn't hold a funeral and the whole family went to the courthouse to cry and appeal for justice.
After watching the court hearing video from the local court, Zhou Siyu realized that this was the first time he had encountered such a scoundrel in all his years in business. He thought he could get money out of him with just a few hospitalization certificates and death certificates, and even expected him to kneel down and apologize? It was truly utterly foolish.
"Looks like this trip was a waste of time."
Zhou Siyu shrugged. They had complete evidence and were not afraid of the other party dragging their feet or filing lawsuits again and again.
After learning the details, he understood. That family wasn't after the money at all. It was probably someone who couldn't stand it and deliberately caused trouble. If the body hadn't been cremated long ago, they might have been able to produce more evidence. They wouldn't have had to pay compensation; instead, those people would have to compensate the company for the losses incurred in the lawsuit.
"Oh? Didn't Mr. Yu say you were here to inspect the construction site of the new project?"
Li Jing was a little confused. She had organized all the project materials and was waiting for Zhou Siyu to review them before discussing them at the company headquarters.
"Um."
Zhou Siyu neither denied nor admitted it, but her heart was pounding. Yu Wen said that the lawsuit was not handled well, the media was talking a lot about it, the workers went on strike, and mining could not continue.
But Li Jing told him that the basic trial had been won, and the probability of winning the intermediate trial was very high. The matter had not escalated, the workers were working very actively, and the mining work had not been affected.
"I heard you've prepared some promising projects. Did you bring the materials?"
Zhou Siyu rubbed his temples. Only by seeing the construction site could he determine who was telling the truth and who was lying.
"I brought a few, the rest are at the company." Seeing that Zhou Siyu didn't look too good, Li Jing suggested, "Would President Zhou like to go to the hotel to rest first?"
"No need." Zhou Siyu shook her head and instructed the driver, "Go directly to the company."
Although he was very tired, his mind was unusually clear. He couldn't sleep even after returning to the hotel, so he decided to take a look at the project that Li Jing had her eye on.
Before being sent abroad, Li Jing was his capable assistant. She had a keen eye for business and her own insights into projects, which helped him make a lot of money.
She was also instrumental in facilitating the Seventeenth Planet project. After this year, Zhou Siyu plans to promote her to vice president, transfer her back to headquarters, and give her a portion of the company's shares as a reward.
Li Jing's judgment is indeed excellent, and it coincides with his thoughts.
Resource extraction is not a long-term benefit. At their current extraction rate, the mine's resources will only last for two more years at most. This means that after two years, the company will have to withdraw from Planet Seventeen and pay for environmental restoration costs for the next ten years.
No one does business at a loss, and Zhou Siyu didn't want to be the sucker. Rather than giving money to the government, he preferred to buy the land himself and reuse it.
However, given the current situation, he intends to postpone the plan for the time being.
After all, he didn't know when the war would reach this place; things were too chaotic right now.
To be honest, he desperately wanted the league to win, firstly so he wouldn't become a prisoner, and secondly so it would be easier for him to do things.
"These projects are all good, but unfortunately things are too chaotic right now, and we don't know when a fight will break out."
Li Jing felt quite sorry for him. She also hoped that the league could win soon, because with Zhou Siyu's relationship with the league, the company's development would reach a new level.
The air raid siren suddenly sounded, and countless fighter jets appeared in the sky, bombs falling straight down, blooming into blood-red flowers.
Zhou Siyu reacted quickly, grabbed Li Jing's arm, and crawled under the table to hide nearby.
The entire building was in chaos, filled with the sounds of footsteps, screams, and crying.
After the bombing, a group of people with parachutes jumped from the sky. Some landed steadily on the rooftops, some fell to the ground, and some were hung on trees and streetlights.
The heavily armed rebels surrounded the building where Zhou Siyu was located and searched it floor by floor with his photo in hand.
The photo is rather blurry; you can only roughly see a long-haired figure from behind.
Zhou Siyu could see everything in the office area through the glass wall. Just as she was worrying, she caught a glimpse of a drawer out of the corner of her eye.
He remembered that Li Jing seemed to really like paper cutting, and there were often scissors on the table. After he teased her a few times, she put the scissors in the drawer.
Opening the drawer, a pair of handmade scissors came into view. Zhou Siyu picked up the scissors and quickly cut off her long hair. She then pulled out the green plant on the table and stuffed the hair into the flowerpot.
Although Li Jing was shocked, she understood his thoughts. She picked up the flowerpot and moved it to the window. At the moment the rebels pushed the door open, she pretended to be startled and exclaimed "Ah!" Her hand slipped, and the flowerpot fell straight down from the 27th floor.
Have you seen this person before?
The newcomer was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants, with a pair of fluffy white cat ears on his head. He had a slender figure, and Zhou Siyu couldn't help but take a second look.
Such an adorable cat, it would be a shame not to keep it at home.
The cat-like man, oblivious to everything, took out the photo and handed it to Zhou Siyu. Zhou Siyu glanced at it and said, "Never seen it before."
"You've really never seen it before?"
Seeing Zhou Siyu shake her head, the cat-like person handed the photo to Li Jing. Li Jing looked at it and shook her head firmly.
"strangeness……"
The cat-man was a little confused. He scratched the back of his head and looked at Zhou Siyu a few more times.
“This building has more than forty floors. Try looking up there; you might find it.” Zhou Siyu touched her hair, and seeing the cat-like man’s doubtful expression, she tossed her long, wispy hairs across her forehead. “I just dyed it recently; doesn’t it look good?”
He has a flaw: when he's sure the environment is safe, he can't help but act like a jerk, especially when faced with fluffy cat or dog ears; he's completely powerless against them.
The cat-man didn't say anything, only leaving behind the words "Stay put" before departing.
Zhou Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment the communicator rang. Flashing red dots appeared on the wrists of the rebels simultaneously. The rebels outside were stunned for a moment, then quickly moved towards the window. Zhou Siyu raised his gun.
"grass!"
Forced by circumstances, Zhou Siyu grabbed Li Jing, pushed open the window, and jumped out.
"Ahhh..."
Li Jing was terrified and screamed incessantly.
Zhou Siyu spread her wings, held Li Jing in her arms, and nimbly weaved through the hail of bullets.
If you want to catch him, you'd better see if you have the ability.
