Chapter 239 Cooperation Chips
Xie Pingan's expression softened slightly when he heard this. "Ms. Qiao, are you saying that you started growing mutant wheat after you met Dr. Yu?"
Qiao Yu smiled again when he heard this. "Is there a possibility that this mutant wheat was planted by Dr. Yu?"
"And we just happened to reap the fruits."
Xie Ping'an's eyes flickered, "How much stock do you have left?"
"A lot." Qiao Yu's tone was calm and quiet. "Dr. Yu planted a lot, and we brought them all here."
Xie Pingan was silent for a moment, then sat up straighter, "Miss Qiao, are you interested in discussing a partnership with me?"
Qiao Yu was not at all surprised by Xie Ping'an's words. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"As you all know, I am the commander of the Eastern Military Region. As long as you are willing to hand over all the mutant wheat seeds and bran in your hands, I can assure you that no one can touch you within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Military Region."
Qiao Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Thank you, Commander. With all due respect, we don't really need the military's protection."
Xie Ping'an's eyes darkened slightly, "Then what does Miss Qiao want?"
"We hope that when the base research institute has joint projects or exchange studies with other base research institutes, we can accompany them."
Xie Pingan's face changed when he heard this, "Miss Qiao, what do you mean?"
They want to go to research institutes in other bases? Why?
What do they want to do?
A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Ping'an's eyes.
Qiao Yu saw his doubts, but didn't explain too much. He just smiled calmly and said, "Commander Xie, there's no need to be so wary of us. Don't worry, we have no ill intentions towards the base."
"Then why do you want to participate in research projects at the base and other research bases?"
"I'm sorry I can't tell you the specifics right now. But I promise, as long as the base treats us well, we will never do anything that would harm the base."
Qiao Yu's tone was firm and unquestionable, and even Xie Ping'an felt a sense of pressure from the aura he exuded.
Xie Pingan was shocked.
This little girl has a strong aura despite her young age. She speaks calmly and calmly.
Although she is not as dangerous as the man next to her, it seems that she cannot be underestimated at the moment.
Xie Ping'an lowered his eyelashes and tapped the pillow on one side of the sofa slowly but rhythmically with his fingers.
After a long silence, Xie Pingan pursed his lips and said, "Not all research projects at the base are within the jurisdiction of the East District."
"I know." Qiao Yu smiled. "But adding a few more people to the entourage shouldn't be a big deal for Commander Xie, right?"
Seeing that Qiao Yu refused to give in, Xie Pingan thought for a while before finally nodding, "Okay. As long as you hand over all the mutant wheat you have, I can agree to your terms."
Qiao Yu curled the corners of his lips, "Deal."
Xie Pingan got a positive answer and immediately stood up. Just as he was about to ask someone to go to where Qiao Yu and the others lived to move their things, he heard Qiao Yu say again, "Commander Xie, don't worry."
"Although the issue of the mutant wheat has been resolved, we still have other matters we need to discuss with you."
Xie Ping'an was slightly stunned and looked at Qiao Yu with some confusion.
Qiao Yu straightened up slightly and sat dignifiedly on the sofa. Xie Pingan even doubted for a moment whether this was his office.
Why does it feel like Qiao Yu and the others are the masters here, and he is just a guest?
And...isn't it enough for them to infiltrate the institute?
Do you actually want something else?
Xie Ping'an quietly moved his wrist, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
He decided to discuss cooperation with them after hearing Professor Kang say that Qiao Yu and others were not evil people.
Since it is a cooperation, there must be give and take and the benefits must be equal.
But if they are greedy, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Xie Pingan thought so in his heart, and frowned slightly.
Although he followed Qiao Yu's wishes and sat down again, his expression was no longer as gentle as before.
"What else do you have to say?" Xie Pingan said coldly, "I would like to give you a piece of advice: it's best not to be too greedy. Knowing when to stop is the way of a wise person."
Qiao Yu looked at Xie Ping'an's face which had obviously turned cold, but he didn't get angry.
In fact, she quite likes dealing with people like Xie Ping'an who show their emotions on their faces.
Because his thoughts are written on his face, it is very easy to guess.
And people with this kind of personality usually don't have any bad intentions.
"Thank you, Commander, for your concern." Qiao Yu continued to smile, "Don't worry. Although we don't claim to be smart, we are definitely not greedy or stupid."
“Relationships between people are nothing more than those maintained by interests.”
"Since I still need Commander Xie's help, I will definitely show my sincerity."
Xie Pingan's brows relaxed slightly when he heard Qiao Yu's words. "What else do you want to discuss? What's your bargaining chip?"
Xie Ping'an's tone was a bit serious. He could no longer treat Qiao Yu as a little girl.
Among girls of the same age as Qiao Yu, he had never seen another one with such meticulous thoughts and insightful views.
"We also want free access to the base research institute."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ping'an's brows, which had just relaxed, suddenly frowned again.
Each of their requests is related to the research institute, and their purpose is very clear.
In fact, when Xie Pingan just heard their explanation about the mutant wheat inventory, he knew that they came prepared.
He had so much mutant wheat in his hands, and he had brought Dr. Yu's beloved son and research projects to the base, but he had been holding back until now...
This is enough to prove that they had set a trap in a planned manner and were waiting for the military to jump into it.
But he knew it was a trap, but he still jumped into it.
He had no choice.
The mutated wheat in their hands may be the hope of survival for the entire base.
In order for the survivors at the bottom to survive, he had to jump into this trap.
But they keep talking about the research institute. What on earth do they want to do?!
The research institute is the "brain" that maintains the operation of the entire base. If anything goes wrong, he will be the sinner of the entire base.
However, Xie Pingan did not rush to refuse. Instead, he asked cautiously, "What are your bargaining chips?"
The smile on Qiao Yu's lips widened. "The bargaining chip is—"
"Thank you, Commander, for your 331st Regiment."
Upon hearing this, Xie Pingan's eyes flashed with anger, and he stood up in an instant, "What did you say?!"
