Chapter 189 Wait till I come and settle the score with you
Although Ning Shuyin had already washed up at the Royal Hospital, her combat uniform was still damaged in battle.
The energy storm from the dark sphere was too intense; even an S-class combat suit couldn't completely withstand it.
Her face was still somewhat pale, and she looked as if she had fled from somewhere.
"It's nothing, just dealt with a minor problem."
Ning Shuyin spoke casually as she quickly stepped onto the gangway.
Yelena followed behind her, and couldn't help but peek behind her several times.
"Um, Mr. Cross... wasn't he with you?"
Ning Shuyin's eyes flickered slightly: "He left because of something important."
"call--"
Yelena visibly breathed a sigh of relief, almost patting her chest in relief.
Ning Shuyin pursed her lips: "Are you all so afraid of him?"
“Of course I was scared,” Yelena said, still shaken. “His eyes were so cold they could freeze you into an icicle. Last time on the repair planet, a worker tried to steal one of your cups, and Mr. Cross just flicked his finger and turned his toolbox to dust.”
"Besides, he's really strict with our training," Yelena said, pouting.
While on the ship, Ning Shuyin had Kross teach the girls some self-defense skills. Considering his appearance, he couldn't possibly be a gentle teacher.
“He won’t come to scare you anymore,” Ning Shuyin said, patting Yelena on the shoulder.
The hatch of the Opera closed behind them, and the air pressure equalized.
Ning Shuyin walked into the brightly decorated command cabin, and all ten girls who remained on the ship surrounded her.
"The boss is back!"
"Boss, are you alright? Your clothes are all torn."
The chattering noise actually relaxed her.
Ning Shuyin looked at the lively faces and said, "This time there's a new mission."
Upon hearing the mission, the girls' expressions turned serious, and they lined up to await orders: "Are we going to search for treasure on some star map?"
Ning Shuyin chuckled: "No, this time we're going on vacation."
"ah?"
"Our target is Tartarus Resort. We turned back halfway last time and couldn't go, but this time we'll make sure you have a great time at the resort."
"Yay! Long live the boss!"
The cheers nearly lifted the roof off the command center.
"Alright, you guys adjust your flight path." Ning Shuyin looked down at her disheveled appearance. "I need to tidy myself up first."
...
Ning Shuyin's room on the Opera House was located on the top deck of the ship.
Above us is the vast starry sky.
She relaxed in the bathtub, the warm water washing over her skin, washing away the lingering effects of the battle against the Dark Sphere.
My mind remained silent.
She raised her hand, watching the water droplets slide down her arm. Without the system shop's support, she would have to rely on herself to continue becoming stronger.
"call……"
She blew a string of bubbles in the water, watching the flower petals and kitten plush toys floating in the bathtub.
The most important thing right now is to help my friend get through the crisis of his arranged marriage.
Next, finding the material needed for the Genesis Ark to create a new universe will be on the agenda.
One hour later.
In front of the dressing mirror in the master bedroom of Ning Shuyin's room.
She changed into a short strapless dress with a light gray-blue main color.
The skirt's full A-line shape perfectly accentuated her slender, toned waist. The fabric's unique light-reflecting properties added a dynamic beauty to every step she took.
The dress also features a large, fluffy pink bow at the back, giving it a romantic yet playful and lively look.
She tied her long hair up and didn't wear makeup. Her eyes, which were even brighter due to her S-level perception, were the best makeup she could have.
The ship's loudspeaker announced:
[Attention all crew members, the Opera House is about to undergo a space jump.]
Ning Shuyin sat comfortably on her favorite beanbag chair.
With all 12 engines firing at full power, the spaceship spewed out eerie blue flames and headed toward that beautiful green planet.
——
A Star, Zhou's Foundation Secretariat.
Inside the special assistant's office, Amanda was surrounded by ten sets of holographic screens.
As the personal assistant to the heir of the world's number one conglomerate, she had long since honed her ability to handle affairs like a thousand-armed Guanyin.
On the left is the group's quarterly financial report, on the right is the renovation plan for Zhou's Cloud Top Villa, and Yu Yu can use his eyes to control two auxiliary AI computers to reply to emails while surfing the group's gossip group.
No matter how busy she was, she never lost her composure.
Except when her boss, Zhou Zhiheng, sought her out.
On the other end of the communicator, Zhou Zhiheng's voice sounded so-so.
"The hotel I requested still hasn't been booked?"
Amanda, a bead of sweat on her forehead, said, "Boss, our technicians are working on breaking through the backend. But the hotel firewall in Tartarus is a bit unusual."
Amanda stared at the latest message that popped up on one of the screens and reported through gritted teeth, "Moreover, in addition to us scrambling to book those special suites on the top floor, there is also a military-grade force seizing the data channel."
It's obvious who it is without even having to guess.
"No matter who's trying to take it, if they fail, the entire technical department will be retired." Zhou Zhiheng's order was simple and brutal.
"yes!"
The hotel's floor plan finally appeared on the screen.
A qualified assistant must not only carry out orders, but also understand how to read the boss's mind.
"Boss, the Bry suite, which has the best view on the top floor, is currently available."
Amanda quickly sent a holographic model of the apartment layout to Zhou Zhiheng's personal computer. "Although these two Brulee suites are separate, their private pools outside the balconies are connected. Just open the floor-to-ceiling windows, and you and Miss Ning can enjoy the hot spring pool..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Zhiheng interrupted her.
"unnecessary."
The boss's voice was cold, and he sounded somewhat hostile.
Amanda was taken aback.
unnecessary?
When Ms. Ning was in debt, didn't her boss keep a close eye on her 24/7? Later, she even pulled off some "millennial mortgage" drama, and then she eagerly went to live with him.
Now that Ms. Ning has paid off her debts and is no longer bound by the contract, Amanda believes that the boss should be keeping a closer eye on her.
Why do we suddenly have to keep our distance?
“I want a suite with doors facing each other, separated only by a corridor.” Zhou Zhiheng’s voice came through. “I want the kind where the two doors face each other directly, separated only by a corridor.”
"!" Amanda suddenly realized.
She's being superficial!
How could she forget that last time in VIP001 room of the Yaoling Hotel, the data monitoring showed that the boss's high-intensity activity lasted for five minutes?
If you book a room with an attached pool, what if you get carried away in the water...?
Such close proximity is certainly not conducive to the boss's physical recovery and rest after a short activity.
It's different when doors face each other.
It allows for both offense and defense. It enables the arrest of individuals at any time while maintaining a suitable social distance in case of unforeseen circumstances.
“Understood. Boss is indeed far-sighted. I was short-sighted.” Amanda seriously reviewed the situation and issued new instructions to the technical team: “Change the attack target to the private presidential suite. Reserve room A01 for Ms. Ning Shuyin and reserve room A02 for the boss.”
There was a second of silence on the other end of the communicator. Zhou Zhiheng didn't understand what kind of flattery Amanda was offering, but he wasn't interested in asking.
His Phantom is about to reach the first jump point.
"How is the matter with the Ao family going?" he asked.
"Everything is ready. When the engagement banquet reaches its climax, all you need to do is give a signal, and this bomb will detonate on time."
Zhou Zhiheng didn't say anything more and cut off the communication directly.
The vast command center fell silent. He raised his right hand, his long, slender fingers holding a round crystal.
The inside of the crystal flickered with light, making the expression in his eyes appear obscure and unpredictable.
"Hmph, you actually detonated my most valuable asset. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
