Ling Feng was stunned after hearing this and then exclaid, "What!"
"You heard right, invitations have already been sent out to countries worldwide, including Arica, France, England, Germany. All the countries with top nuclear physics experts have received them," Zhang He said blandly.
"Why?"
Ling Feng looked puzzled, his eyes wide open.
"Well, this is actually a ga. If the information about Helium-3 hadn’t leaked, we might have secretly developed it for a while, but now that it’s out, we can’t just quietly make a fortune!" Zhang He said with a bitter smile.
"Why can’t we just not give it to them, what’s the issue?" Ling Feng said, speechless.
Zhang He shook his head, "It’s not as simple as you think. Let give you an analogy. It’s like a village where everyone’s poor, no one can afford at, but suddenly one day, the fragrance of at wafts from your house, drawing the villagers to gaze outside your yard. What do you do?"
Ling Feng: "...."
Zhang He smiled, "You eat at, but don’t let anyone have even a sip of broth, and soon, you won’t have a single friend in the village. You’ll be isolated by everyone!"
"It’s just like the international situation. Our Helium-3 is that pot of at; others have already noticed its aroma."
Ling Feng took a deep breath, "Alright, that’s quite an apt analogy, I get it."
"There’s no need to feel hurt. Actually, it’s nothing. Bringing together the world’s top scientists to collaborate could result in a better fusion device. anwhile, the raw materials remain with us. In the future, if they want them, they definitely won’t be able to get them without offering sothing good in return!" Zhang He laughed.
"True, going forward, Helium-3 will be exclusively managed by us, and they’ll have to cater to Huaxia’s interests!" Ling Feng laughed.
Zhang He nodded, "That’s the theory!"
After finishing, he glanced at Ling Feng, "Additionally, there’s another piece of news to tell you."
Ling Feng looked at him, feeling a bit strange, "Spit it out, why the suspense?"
"Arica’s delegation is en route to Huaxia; their advance officer is already in the Capital City. She wants to et you!" Zhang He said.
"Why does she want to et ?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He chuckled, "That I don’t know. Anyway, she’s specifically asked to et you to reminisce about the past!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was stunned and then widened his eyes in surprise, "Whoa, is it Catherine?"
"Exactly!"
Zhang He nodded, "Her current role is the liaison officer for the Helium-3 project between the two countries; we just got this news!"
"...."
Ling Feng was rendered speechless.
This woman has connections everywhere; she just changed roles again, didn’t she?
Seeing him like this, Zhang He chuckled, "I’ve passed this on, so it’s up to you how you handle it!"
"Damn, what else can I do? It’s not like I can catch her now!" Ling Feng shrugged, looking helpless.
"Not only can’t you catch her, but you also have to host her properly. This is a diplomatic-level eting, totally different from before!" Zhang He reminded.
Ling Feng was speechless again.
After a mont of silence, he looked up and asked, "When does she want to et?"
"Tomorrow."
Zhang He checked the ti, "Arica’s experts arrive tomorrow morning; they’re not resting after landing and will head straight to the Nuclear Physics Research Institute, with Catherine leading the team."
"Alright, I’ve got it!"
Ling Feng nodded and got up, "Then I’ll et this woman tomorrow and see what she wants to do!"
"A word of caution, don’t lose sight because of her beauty!" Zhang He said seriously.
Ling Feng’s eyes glared, "Get lost, am I that kind of person?"
"Haha, hard to say!" Zhang He said mischievously.
Ling Feng didn’t bother with him, rolled his eyes, and left Longyuan.
After that, he returned to Ling Corporation Tower, where Mo Jiaolan and Yu Linglong were no longer there.
He thought of asking where they went but decided against calling them and drove back to Shiliu Village.
It wasn’t until evening that Yu Linglong returned.
After asking, he learned she had gone shopping with Mo Jiaolan in the provincial city, buying lots of clothes and daily necessities.
So Ling Feng laughed, "So when you asked earlier, you wanted to carry your bags, huh?"
"That’s exactly it, but you were lucky and managed to dodge it!" Yu Linglong laughed.
Ling Feng looked relieved, "No doubt, my biggest fear is shopping with girls and having to carry bags!"
After so jokes, he ntioned he’d be going to the Capital City to et Catherine.
Yu Linglong hadn’t expected this developnt, and after a mont of contemplation, she said, "I didn’t realize the diplomatic relations on your side are so complex, truly unimaginable for ."
"The web of interests is extrely intricate; it’s certainly not sothing a regular person could handle, which is why diplomats are elites!"
Ling Feng said thoughtfully, then continued, "I’m heading to the Capital City tomorrow; would you like to join ?"
"No, I can’t be of any help, and I have other plans tomorrow!" Yu Linglong replied.
Ling Feng was curious, "What plans?"
"That’s for you not to worry about; it’s not a bad thing!" Yu Linglong laughed.
The more mysterious she was, the more curious Ling Feng beca. So he stepped forward and hugged her, "If you don’t tell , I won’t let you go!"
Saying this, he reached under her arm, threatening, "Will you tell ? If not, I’ll tickle you!"
"Don’t, don’t, I’ll tell!"
Yu Linglong was ticklish and quickly begged for rcy, "It’s nothing major, just going to set formations. Mu Family Village, Liangdong Village, and Wan Yuan Village all need formation support, otherwise how long will it take to see results?"
"Starting now? I thought waiting until spring would be fine. Who are you going with?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yuhe, Wan’er, Ling Yao, and Little Yu, don’t worry!" Yu Linglong said.
Hearing so many people going, Ling Feng nodded, "That’s good, it’ll be hard on you tomorrow."
Yu Linglong smiled softly and said nothing.
After resting at ho for the night, the next morning they went their separate ways — one to set formations and the other teleported to the Capital City.
Arriving at the dormitory in the institute, Ling Feng stepped out of the door and went downstairs directly toward the laboratory.
He happened to see Mu Yuhan walking over, and reaching him, she said with a smile, "Brother Ling, you ca early!"
"Yeah, did you know I was coming?" Ling Feng asked.
"I knew; we had a eting yesterday, and it’s been announced to everyone!"
Mu Yuhan nodded, then asked curiously, "Why does the Arican delegation specifically want to et you?"
Ling Feng chuckled helplessly, "Well, it’s a long story. When are they arriving?"
"Ten o’clock, still early!" Mu Yuhan checked the ti.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright then, let tell you about Catherine and ."
