"What were you guys talking about just now?"
Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Nanrong Wanqing asked curiously.
"Nothing much, Officer Xia knows Jiang Hao is my friend, so she wanted to advise him not to disturb social order in the future." Ling Chen brushed it off and then looked at Leng Feifei inside the car and said, "Feifei, go to the company tomorrow and handle your resignation paperwork. Don’t work there anymore to avoid trouble from others in the future."
"But..." Leng Feifei hesitated.
"Miss Leng, if you don’t mind, you could consider working at Hongyu Group." Nanrong Wanqing suggested.
"Go to Hongyu Group?" Leng Feifei was slightly surprised, not expecting Nanrong Wanqing to extend such an invitation.
"I... I’m not sure if that’s a good idea; I just graduated and my experience is limited. I’m afraid I can’t handle it."
Nanrong Wanqing chuckled lightly and said, "Don’t worry. My invitation for you to work at Hongyu Group isn’t about opening the back door. Plus, I am opposed to using connections. As long as you have the skills, Hongyu Group welcos all talent. Conveniently, there’s a recruitnt event in a few days at Hongyu Group. You should co and give it a try then."
"Feifei, Wanqing has already asked. Why don’t you give it a shot?"
"Alright then." With Ling Chen’s encouragent, Leng Feifei finally agreed.
After dropping Leng Feifei off at ho, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing drove back to Wealthy Manor.
Back ho, Ling Chen sank into the sofa, feeling completely exhausted. Seeing his worn-out look, Nanrong Wanqing knelt beside him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you very tired?"
"No." Ling Chen forced a smile and said, "It’s just that there’s too much going on, my head can’t keep up."
"Take a break, don’t push yourself too hard."
Feeling Nanrong Wanqing’s embrace, Ling Chen took a deep breath, inhaling her faint scent, filling his heart with happiness. Yet, he sighed softly, lost in thought. Nanrong Wanqing, perceiving his unease, asked with concern, "What’s on your mind?"
"I’m sorry!" Ling Chen looked at Nanrong Wanqing with sha and said, "I promised you I would heal your legs, yet I haven’t been able to do so."
"It’s okay." Nanrong Wanqing smiled gently and said, "As long as you’re with , even if my legs never recover, I’m content. Just don’t dislike ."
"How could I ever dislike you?" Ling Chen pulled Nanrong Wanqing into his embrace, softly saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll never let you down."
After a mont of closeness with Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen noticed the ti and escorted her to her room, coaxing her to sleep, and then quietly returning to the living room. He took his phone out of his pocket and called Hu Fei.
"Hey! Ling Chen, you better co over quickly."
"What’s going on? Sothing happened?"
"It’s nothing major, just sothing I want to discuss with you."
"Alright. Wait for , I’m on my way."
Leaving Wealthy Manor, Ling Chen drove alone to the research base.
Arriving at the control center, Hu Fei and Tang Guolun were sitting at a desk, engaged in a loud conversation.
"What’s happening here?" Ling Chen interrupted their discussion and asked.
"Ling Chen, just in ti." Hu Fei pulled Ling Chen to the desk and said, "We’ve hit a jackpot this ti—thirty billion US Dollars in inco, enough for us to upgrade the base’s facilities and defenses by several tiers. I’ve been discussing it with Boss Tang, and I feel that since we have money, we should improve the base construction, but Boss Tang thinks it’s unnecessary to waste money on this base."
"So, you two are arguing about this?"
Tang Guolun chid in, "It’s not really arguing, just discussing. Ling Chen, since this base has been exposed, we don’t need to put too much effort here. Instead of enhancing defenses here, we might as well choose another place and set up a new base."
After a pause, Tang Guolun continued, "This research base is located in the city center. If we clash with the God Organization, there’s no guarantee innocent people won’t be affected. Plus, our operations would be inconvenienced. So, I think we should pick a secretive location for a new base."
"That’s true, but rebuilding a base would be costly. Even if we have money now, we can’t afford to be wasteful." Hu Fei said.
After hearing their opinions, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile. He understood Hu Fei’s mindset—he was a typical miser, afraid of spending it all.
