The word "hmm" from the leader of the Li faction was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Mou Xuan and Shen Yao looked at each other and saw nervousness and anticipation in each other's eyes.
Time seemed to freeze, and every second was infinitely stretched.
There was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air, like the calm before the storm, suffocating.
Mou Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "What is this old fox up to? Isn't he trying to raise the price? Please don't do anything weird!"
Chen Yao's palms were also slightly sweaty. She gently held Mou Xuan's hand, conveying silent support.
Mou Xuan felt the warmth of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He secretly made up his mind to protect Chen Yao and their alliance no matter what.
"Ahem..." The leader of the Li faction cleared his throat and broke the silence.
His voice was low and slow, and every word was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart.
"Miss Shen's proposal is very constructive." The leader of the Li faction said slowly, his eyes wandering between Mou Xuan and Shen Yao, "We... agree in principle."
"Huh..." Mu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the huge rock pressing on his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
He could even hear his own breathing of relief, as if he had just finished a marathon, feeling tired and refreshed.
Chen Yao also showed a relieved smile. She held Mou Xuan's hand tightly, and her fingertips trembled slightly with excitement.
"But..." The leader of Li's faction changed the subject, which made Mou Xuan and Shen Yao's hearts rise to their throats again.
"The specific details of this cooperation still require our two sides to discuss carefully." The leader of the Li faction smiled meaningfully, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, which made Mou Xuan feel nauseous.
"Of course, of course." Mou Xuan nodded and bowed quickly, but he was cursing in his heart, "This old fox is really not that easy to deal with. However, as long as we can reach a cooperation, everything will be fine."
"Come here, bring up our 'sincerity'!" The leader of the Li faction waved his hand, and several of his men came in carrying several large boxes.
When the box was opened, it shone with golden light, almost blinding Mou Xuan's titanium dog eyes.
"Oh my god! This old fox is really willing to spend so much money!" Mou Xuan secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Chen Yao was also stunned. She didn't expect that Li Shili would be so "generous".
"These are just our small tokens of appreciation." The leader of the Li faction said proudly, "I hope our cooperation can shine like these gold."
"Of course, of course!" Mou Xuan nodded repeatedly, but he was thinking about how to "return the gift" in his heart.
"By the way, Alliance Leader Mou, Miss Shen," the leader of the Li faction suddenly changed the subject and said, "Our cooperation cannot just stay at the 'material' level..."
Mou Xuan was stunned, thinking: "What is this old fox up to? Is he planning to...?"
He secretly glanced at Chen Yao and found that Chen Yao was also looking at him puzzledly.
"What does Chief Li mean...?" Mou Xuan asked tentatively.
The leader of the Li faction chuckled and showed an expression that said "you know what I mean".
"Shouldn't we also 'exchange' our feelings?"
Translator Luo held a brush in his hand, the tip of the brush flying across the parchment. Every word he wrote was so powerful that it seemed as if he wanted to engrave this historic moment forever.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, not because of nervousness, but because of excitement.
He knew that what he was writing was not just an agreement, but the fate of two forces and even the entire future of the apocalypse.
Etiquette officer Zou was carefully checking the wording and format of the agreement to ensure that every detail complied with diplomatic etiquette.
He was meticulous, even down to the punctuation mark.
He firmly believes that details determine success or failure, especially in such important diplomatic occasions.
The leader of Li's faction and Zhou's adviser were talking in low voices and exchanging glances from time to time.
They seemed to have some doubts about the content of the agreement, but finally reached an agreement.
"Okay! It's settled!" The leader of the Li faction slammed the table, shaking the teacups on the table and making them jump up. "Both sides will get what they need, and it will be mutually beneficial and win-win!"
Mou Xuan also stood up and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation!"
The two hands were tightly clasped together, symbolizing the formal alliance between the two forces.
Thunderous applause and cheers suddenly broke out in the hall.
The members of the alliance cried with joy, they knew that at this moment, they had made history!
Mou Xuan stood in the center of the crowd, enjoying everyone's cheers and support.
His eyes swept over each person, his heart filled with pride and gratitude.
He knew that all this was inseparable from Chen Yao's help and the efforts of every alliance member.
"Brother Mou Xuan, you are so awesome!" Chen Yao snuggled up to Mou Xuan.
"This is all thanks to everyone." Mou Xuan smiled modestly, then leaned close to Chen Yao's ear and whispered, "But the one I want to thank the most is you."
Chen Yao's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into Mou Xuan's eyes.
"Let's go, let's go home!" Mou Xuan took Chen Yao's hand and walked out of the hall.
The sunlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden glow.
"By the way, Brother Mou Xuan," Chen Yao suddenly stopped and said, "Should we also put the transportation problem of our alliance on the agenda?"
Mou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, it is time to consider this issue."
