Chapter 1108 - 1208: Is It Hard to Resolve? No! I Still Need to Go Home for Dinner!
Xie Jian Country also grinned, he was finally going home!
Wait—
Xie Jian Country’s smile disappeared, he secretly took out the small mirror Jing Shu had given him from his hair, the hair flexibly moved the mirror in front of him like long antennae, the dim light shining on his still handsome, stubbled face, but also revealing his inhuman, ghostly appearance.
"Looking like this, can I go home to see my mother? Not even having hands and a body. What kind of tears would my mother shed upon seeing me?"
Xie Jian Country sighed deeply, then suddenly said to Jing Shu playing on her phone, "Big sister, I’m not going home yet, but can you please tell my mom I’m alive?"
Home has an elder brother, a second brother, along with sister-in-laws and nephews and nieces, a whole family, maybe mom doesn’t miss him much?
Jing Shu glanced at Xie Jian Country, resting her chin in her hand, quickly understanding his concerns, then nodded, "Alright, it’s really inconvenient for you to go home now, and exposing your home is indeed dangerous with the situation unclear, but Grandma Xie won’t truly believe you’re alive until she sees you, I have a disguise trick and some ideas, once we arrive, let’s spare some time to send Grandma Xie a video call."
Then Jing Shu started chatting away, and Xie Jian Country’s eyes gradually brightened, even looking forward to the video call with his mother.
"Thank you, big sister. Now I truly have no worries anymore!"
Jing Shu is really wonderful! Xie Jian Country decided, no matter what happens next, no matter what people above say, he’ll only say one thing: "If my big sister Jing Shu agrees, so do I!"
The plane arrived in South Sea smoothly after four hours.
Just off the plane, they were surrounded by a dense crowd, led not only by people brought by Jun Bao, but also an elderly man with gray hair yet a rosy face, along with a gentle yet unfriendly middle-aged man with glasses.
Jun Bao’s expression was not good, nodded to the group, first introduced, "Thank you all, this is Mr. Guo, the general manager sent from above, and this is Mr. Zhou, the agent of the Three Giants Company."
Mr. Guo smiled and nodded at the few people, "Thank you for returning safely."
Mr. Zhou stood upright, adjusted his glasses and nodded, calmly asking, "Thank you, but where is the important ’Key’ from this time? We’re here to take over."
Look, just look at how he talks, begging for a punch.
The hot wind of South Sea blew, Jing Shu first took off her down jacket, then took off her cotton clothes, jacket, and pants.
Others: "..."
"Sorry, it’s too cold over in Wu City, it’s a bit hot here, the ’Key’ is Mr. Xie Jian Country, right here."
The others finally saw Jing Shu unwrapped a ball wrapped in layers, revealing a hedgehog-headed man.
The man opened his eyes wide, and with Jing Shu holding the head, immediately scared Mr. Guo and Mr. Zhou back a few steps.
"Sorry, Mr. Xie just likes to joke around usually." Jing Shu stifled a laugh, then said, "Although Mr. Xie is the key to the New Energy this time, he also has an independent personality, it’s not saying anyone can just take him away, this must be according to his own decision."
After speaking, Jing Shu turned and asked Jun Bao, "By the way, our Wu City’s discovery of this New Energy, is it officially mandated to be handed over to others for extraction?"
Jun Bao calmly said from the side, "It wasn’t."
Jing Shu was curious, "Then what qualifies them to take over the ’Key’? Just thick skin?"
Jun Bao pressed the corners of his mouth, didn’t say a word.
Mr. Zhou gritted his teeth, restraining his anger, "We count as a state-owned enterprise, any Dark Energy has prioritization rights for extraction, and this time we funded all of Dr. Huang’s expenses, participated in the discovery of the New Energy, qualified to extract this New Energy."
Jing Shu suddenly realized, "Oh, since you’re with Dr. Huang’s team, why not contact Dr. Huang? They’re in the Tianshan Energy Pool."
Mr. Zhou twitched his mouth, if he could contact Dr. Huang and the others, would he still rush here immediately upon hearing the news? This woman wasn’t wrong about one thing, they’re unreasonable now, just forcing their way by being thick-skinned.
Mr. Guo smiled at Xie Jian Country, clicking his tongue in wonder, then ended the commotion, "Alright, whoever has the extraction rights, we’ll go by contributions, detailed documents to determine, for now, Xiao Jun, find a place, let’s talk about the upcoming matters, after all, our words don’t count."
Our words don’t count?
Jing Shu’s heart jumped to her throat, what does that mean? Are there hidden matters?
Jun Bao nodded, "Let’s discuss in the meeting room."
However, arriving in South Sea, even if it’s their turf, Jing Shu still relaxed much more, carrying Xie Jian Country’s head, not letting anyone near.
The scattered group of dozens came to Jun Bao’s conference hall, a U-shaped meeting, Jing Shu brought Xie Jian Country to the main seat, providing a view for people on either side.
Leading on the left was Jun Bao, followed by Wu City’s group of backbone personnel. Leading on the right was Mr. Zhou, and no one else.
"I still can’t believe, the key to opening the secret realm is a human head?"
"Shh, don’t say random things, he’s a New Human."
"Alright, quiet." Mr. Guo hosted from the side, "Now regarding Wu City’s New Energy extraction rights, previously there was a betting agreement, so we’ll go by it, is the first team’s related personnel here?"
Mr. Guo asked towards the empty air on the right.
Mr. Zhou: "..." Silently swallowed, nodded, "Here."
The first team really deserves to die, not a single person showed up!
Mr. Guo asked the left side, "Is the second team’s related personnel here?"
"Here!" Thunderous voice.
Such a contrast feels quite bullying.
However, the meeting must continue, Mr. Guo routinely asked, "According to the betting agreement, first please the first team to submit all New Energy data."
Mr. Zhou: "..." Had to skip, he hadn’t even gone in, didn’t know what the energy looked like.
"Please the second team submit all written materials."
"Good, now please the first team to self-narrate..."
"Bang," Mr. Zhou finally couldn’t hold back, slammed the table,
"Bullying people, you’re really too bullying! I suspect the second team and Wu City, for profit and extraction rights, slaughtered the entire first team in the secret realm, harmed compatriots, I request a thorough investigation from above, before it’s clear, suspend the discussion on extraction rights!"
This statement silenced everyone in the hall.
Mr. Guo’s smiling expression also became serious, Jun Bao frowned, thinking, "This really complicates things. No matter what the opponent wants a delay, awaiting external support."
Meanwhile, Jing Shu’s phone rang, Grandma Jing sent a voice message, "Girl, are you having dinner?"
Jing Shu replied, "Grandma, yes I’ll eat, give me half an hour." Then she stood up, realizing the urgency to solve the matter quickly, to go home for dinner.
