Zhou Siyu waved her hand weakly, looking as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.
"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, you're famous now!"
A true friend is someone who laughs at you mercilessly when you're down.
Li Jing burst into laughter without holding back, bending over backward and over with gusto.
"Why are you calling me Old Zhou? Call me Boss! You have no manners."
Zhou Siyu looked at the ticket and frowned. He had been fined before the contract negotiations were even halfway through, and his glorious image was ruined in an instant.
"Don't be so sad." Li Jing patted Zhou Siyu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you know where you go to take the driving test?"
"I don't know."
"Allied Army Headquarters".
Li Jing looked at Zhou Siyu, raising an eyebrow with a knowing look on her face, which was quite lewd.
"Jingjing, I heard that people who often make lewd expressions will become ugly."
"Do you think I care?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow, took off her sunglasses and said, "As long as I have money, even if I get old and lose my looks, there will still be a bunch of young Alphas coming after me."
"Great, great, your Mary Sue-ish, love-struck brain has finally been cured. I'm so glad."
Zhou Siyu patted Li Jing on the shoulder, looking like a proud father watching his daughter grow up.
"You're acting like my dad," Li Jing pouted, then continued, "Don't forget you're five years younger than me." With that, she pinched Zhou Siyu's cheek, "Come on, call me 'sister'."
While pinching her skin, I couldn't help but admire how good Zhou Siyu's skin was—so fair, tender, and wrinkle-free. It felt so comfortable to pinch.
I'm so jealous!
Zhou Siyu turned her face away, her expression full of disdain: "Your salary is paid by the company. The company is mine. I'm still your provider."
"I will never submit to the tyranny of you, you unscrupulous and heartless capitalist!"
Just as Zhou Siyu was about to speak, he suddenly noticed several spaceships appearing in the sky behind him, their golden emblems standing out conspicuously against their silver hulls.
"Aren't spaceships not allowed to leave the city?"
"Damn, Lao Zhou, didn't you see the big golden symbol?" Li Jing pointed to the departing fleet of spaceships and said in a low voice, "It's the military, so they're handling it as a special case."
Spaceships are not allowed in urban areas for two reasons: firstly, spaceships are difficult to pilot and can easily cause traffic accidents; secondly, some cars on the market can also drive in the air, so the demand for spaceships is not high and they are difficult to manage. Therefore, the Alliance simply enacted a law prohibiting spaceships from entering urban areas.
"Looks like they're going to headquarters." Zhou Siyu stroked his chin and casually asked, "Has anything major happened at the company lately?"
"Yes." Li Jing handed a document to Zhou Siyu and introduced, "Our company has successfully developed a new engine. It's a pure gas-powered engine that consumes no energy and produces no pollution..."
"Didn't this already exist a long time ago? Sports cars are already in production."
“It’s different.” Li Jing held the document up to Zhou Siyu’s eyes, pointing to the numbers on it, and said, “The engines we have now can be used not only in large trucks, but also in spaceships and fighter jets!”
"So fast?" Zhou Siyu snatched the document, quickly flipping through it. His heart was pounding and his hands were trembling with excitement. After finishing, he closed the document and said, "Great! This time, let's pull off a big one!"
"We had just released the news when the military sent people to schedule a time for detailed discussions. The fleet we just saw was probably heading to headquarters to discuss this matter."
"What about the others?"
Zhou Siyu frowned slightly. Only one buyer? This is not good.
“Yu Wen and I have met privately…”
Li Jing blinked and gave Zhou Siyu a knowing look.
Are you sure it's in private?
Zhou Siyu looked up at the drone in the sky, raised the communicator in her hand. Yu Wei must already know about Li Jing and Yu Wen's private meeting, but since there was no movement, he must already have a plan.
This is a shoddy glutinous rice ball!
"It's better if headquarters knows, then they won't take the opportunity to lower the price."
"You've made progress." Zhou Siyu clapped his hands with a smile and urged, "Let's go, let's go back to the company and figure out, no, let's plan this project."
The two quickly returned to the company and went straight into the conference room.
He's coming back this time to make a fortune and make Yu Wei bleed a lot of money.
