Several hours later,
a dilapidated taxi arrived at Northern City·Anning Street.
After paying the fare, Su Ming and his companions stepped out of the car.
When they looked at the street before them, Zhang Yi exclaid in surprise,
“Damn, Su Ming, are you sure we’re not at the wrong place?”
“It should be right, 122 Anning Street.”
Su Ming also furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the scene before him.
Compared to the towering skyscrapers in other areas, the buildings in this area were exceptionally low and dilapidated.
All of them were old pigeon-loft buildings, with their insulation layers peeling off on a large scale, revealing the rusty tal structure inside.
The air was filled with a mix of odors, and garbage piles were everywhere.
Nurous children could be seen rummaging through the trash.
To put it bluntly, this area was a slum.
“Let’s go over and ask one of the residents where building 122 is.”
Allu suggested to Su Ming.
“Alright!”
Su Ming then led them toward a few old n sitting at the entrance of an alley.
As Su Ming and his companions approached, the old n looked at them with wary eyes.
“Hello, sir!”
“What?”
“Could you please tell us if this is 122 Anning Street?”
“Who are you?”
“Don’t misunderstand, we are here to find Miss Mi Fei from Fatty Dun Interstellar Transport Company; we’re her clients.”
“Oh, you’re clients!”
“Right.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“You should have said so earlier, I’ll take you there!”
The attitude of these elderly n changed drastically at once.
“Thank you, we appreciate it.”
Su Ming was sowhat surprised by how hospitable the people here were.
The elderly n then led Su Ming and his companions toward a pigeon-loft building to the west, continuously praising as they went,
“Young man, you have good taste, let tell you, Fatty Dun Interstellar Transport Company offers outstanding service, and it’s both affordable and high-quality.
You’ve definitely made the right choice!”
“Good.”
Su Ming responded with a smile.
Along the way, Su Ming and his companions encountered many of the area’s residents, who asked,
“Deng Fu, who are these people you’re bringing along?
They look unfamiliar.”
“They’re here to find Miss Mi Fei, big clients!”
“Oh, well then, hurry up and take them over.”
“Got it.”
Deng Fu replied.
“Sir, are you all very familiar with Fatty Dun Interstellar Transport Company?”
Su Ming asked thoughtfully.
“Let put it this way: my grandson works on the ship, and nearly everyone living in this area has soone working on board.
You could say Fatty Dun Interstellar Transport Company supports everyone here.”
Deng Fu explained to Su Ming.
“I see.”
Hearing this, Su Ming roughly understood the situation.
As they chatted, Deng Fu led Su Ming and the others into a rundown building and stopped in front of a door that was firmly closed.
“This is it!”
“Thank you!”
Su Ming courteously said to Deng Fu.
“I’ll leave you to it, then, and wish you a successful negotiation.”
Deng Fu left after bringing Su Ming and his companions to the door, not wanting to interrupt their business talk.
Su Ming then knocked on the door.
Knock, knock!
“Coming!”
Mi Fei’s voice soon ca from inside, and then the door was opened.
When Mi Fei saw Su Ming and the others, she too showed a look of surprise.
“Mr.
Su Ming, what brings you here?”
“I needed to see you about sothing.
I hope we’re not interrupting.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“Not at all, please co in!”
Mi Fei hurriedly invited Su Ming inside.
Su Ming and his companions walked into the house and imdiately saw a table set up in the living room, with a hot pot on it and plates of synthetic at slices around.
Captain Hagett and Johnny and the others were sitting around, enjoying the hot pot and drinking, celebrating the completion of their shipnt.
“Mi Fei, who’s here?
Mr.
Su Ming!”
When Captain Hagett raised his head to ask Mi Fei and saw Su Ming walking in, he exclaid in surprise.
At this ti, Johnny and the others who were drinking and chatting were all startled.
When they looked up and saw Su Ming and his companions, they quickly got up to greet them.
“Mr.
Su Ming!”
“Please continue, don’t mind us.
We just need to discuss a matter with Captain Hagett.”
Su Ming replied politely.
“How could we not, Mr.
Su Ming, please have a seat.
If you don’t mind, we can eat and discuss at the sa ti, how about it?”
Captain Hagett suggested politely.
“Sure!”
Su Ming, without further ado, sat down with Allu and the others.
Mi Fei quickly prepared new bowls and chopsticks for them.
Su Ming naturally picked up his chopsticks and started cooking the slices of at, not feeling out of place.
Mi Fei went to the back room to fetch a bottle of long-cherished red wine, opened it, and poured a glass for each of them.
Hagett, raising a glass of inferior synthetic wine, said,
“To Mr.
Su Ming, sorry for the modest hospitality, but cheers!”
“Don’t ntion it, cheers!”
Su Ming and the others raised their glasses to et Hagett’s.
Everyone drank up!
After a drink, Hagett asked curiously,
“Mr.
Su Ming, may I ask what business brings you to us?”
“Captain Hagett, I have a business proposition I hope you’ll consider.”
Su Ming spoke very seriously.
“What business?
You tell us!”
Hagett and the others all turned to look at Su Ming.
“I want to charter a ship to and from the Awahog Kingdom.
Su Ming stated plainly.
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Hagett’s deeply wrinkled face imdiately fell silent, and Johnny and the others exchanged glances.
Mi Fei said with so surprise,
“Mr.
Su Ming, you want to go to the Awahog Kingdom?
That country isn’t very safe right now; no ships are willing to go there.”
