Hong Kong, Peninsula Hotel. oM∑,
In the gorgeous and elegantly decorated lobby, a young man and a foreign girl were sitting in the corner of the teahouse, feeling the warm sunlight beside the bed and quietly enjoying afternoon tea.
The band in the lobby played melodious and soothing classical music live. The waiter dressed in British attire politely walked to the two of them, placed the three-layer silver tray with desserts on them, and served them respectfully. Serve black tea.
To be honest, this English tea cake is not very delicious. The taste of chocolate balls and cream puffs is no different from those sold in ordinary dessert shops. But if there is anything special about enjoying afternoon tea here, it is probably the elegant atmosphere and rich historical heritage.
Construction of the hotel started in 1922 and was completed in 1926. It opened in 1928 and was known as the "Lady of the Far East" at the time. It was one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and even the world.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't appreciate the atmosphere or historical background at all. The reason why he appeared here was purely for freshness. Ayesha was also not very interested in those things that were there or not, and she was poking at the fluffy pudding with her fork at the moment.
The slightly curly long brown hair hangs smoothly on the right shoulder, and the cute little mouth and smooth cheeks shine with charming brilliance in the dim sunlight.
Like a painting.
Jiang Chen could clearly feel that many gentlemen looked at him with envy and jealousy. But he didn't care at all, he just looked lazily at the street outside the window, enjoying the quiet and peaceful daylight.
As for why he appeared here 800 kilometers away, we have to start talking about it two days ago.
After the regiment wiped out the CIA men and rescued Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen, who had a slight conflict with the General Staff, did not return to Lake City, but drove to Fujian day and night.
In the car, Jiang Chen told Xia Shiyu the whole incident. Including the meeting with Wang Linhua after that party, including the specific content of the subsequent cooperation with ZTE Hi-Tech.
After daybreak, he called his parents again and said that he had to return to Wanghai City for something else, so he left first. Tell them not to worry, then turn off the phone and stop answering any calls.
With the help of Roberts and the help of "Mr. Chen", Jiang Chen boarded the ship as a temporary tourist. I boarded a luxury cruise ship that traveled between Xiangjiang and Ludao, and disembarked in Xiangjiang.
As for Xia Shiyu, she stayed in Ludao for a day, then took a flight from Ludao to Wanghai City and returned to Wanghai City.
Just after getting off the plane, the people from the General Staff naturally contacted Xia Shiyu. What he was asking was nothing more than Jiang Chen's current location.
In this regard, under Jiang Chen's instruction, Xia Shiyu handed over a USB flash drive containing the complete version 1.0 of the drone intelligent control system, and at the same time repeated Jiang Chen's original words to them. Although Jiang Chen's tone was very tactful, if those few words were expressed in a straightforward tone, it would be a bit harsh.
"I am very dissatisfied with the way the incident in Lake City was handled. I have never been your subordinate. I have fulfilled my obligation to pay taxes. However, when I have fulfilled my obligation, you still think that I put the overall situation first. This is ridiculous. .So I left.”
"Although I'm gone, it doesn't mean that I've given up my business in China, nor does it mean that the overseas teams I work with will give up their business in China. It's just that due to the 'deterioration of the investment environment', we have to Repositioning the focus of the business. Futureman Technology will serve as a branch, controlled by the soon-to-be-established Futureman International as the parent company."
"Of course, regarding the cooperation project of UAV Intelligent Control System 1.0, we have completed the development in accordance with the agreement. We hope that you can also provide policy convenience to Future Human Technology as promised."
"Yes. Futureman Technology has nearly 300 million domestic users. But don't forget that we also have more than 400 million foreign users and a market of one billion that has yet to be developed."
"Our choice is never the only one."
Hear Jiang Chen's reply. Admiral Liu was silent for a long time, and finally said nothing. He just sent someone to protect Xia Shiyu, then reported Jiang Chen's reply and stopped asking about the matter.
The people above also had some discussions on how to deal with future human technology. After weighing the pros and cons. In the end, the choice was made to maintain friendly cooperation and the document restricting Jiang Chen from leaving the country was cancelled, although he had already left the country.
Being able to produce this kind of technology in the military industry has shown that the overseas technical team is indeed worth making friends with. Jiang Chen was not developing software during this period, so judging from the time cost required for software development, the actual developer of the software was indeed not Jiang Chen. The conjecture that Jiang Chen was the actual developer of the software is naturally self-defeating.
From this perspective, even controlling Jiang Chen is meaningless.
There was also an episode. As the initiator of forcing away future people's technology, the Wang family was often criticized by political opponents because of this incident. Futureman International was established, and Futureman Technology’s foreign business and domestic business were separated. As a result, the local finance of Wanghai City had to lose at least more than 500 million in foreign exchange tax revenue every month.
Although other forces are also ready to take action on this piece of fat, who wants your Wang family to take action? With such an ugly appearance, the Wang family was often beaten by dissatisfied central authorities.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Since he has left, Jiang Chen will not come back at least for a while.
Speaking of which, the Hong Kong businessman who was responsible for picking him up on the ship had a chance encounter with him. When he partnered with Roberts to resell gold, he was responsible for taking the gold to the high seas and then transporting it to South Africa on Roberts' ship.
When he met Jiang Chen this time, he took care of everything for Jiang Chen very diligently. Not only did he drive to the port to pick him up early in the morning, he also enthusiastically booked a room for Jiang Chen at the famous Peninsula Hotel.
Jiang Chen did not refuse his kindness and took Aisha's hand to move into the luxurious sea view room on the top floor.
Strictly speaking, this is considered illegal immigration. However, after getting off the ship, Roberts had prepared relevant documents for Jiang Chen, so he checked into the Peninsula Hotel normally. As for Ayesha, since she holds a green card, she can stay in Hong Kong for a short period of time without any documents.
The program has been delivered, the people from the General Staff are no longer pestering him, and the CIA has other troubles to deal with.
Only Jiang Chen was free.
"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly kiss me then?" Jiang Chen asked casually while sipping afternoon tea leisurely.
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Ayesha buried her head, stopped playing with the pudding, and whispered sheepishly.
"Because I want to share it with her, instead of being unaware of each other."
Hearing Aisha's innocent words, Jiang Chen wanted to complain, "If it were Xia Shiyu, she would never tolerate the existence of other women," but in the end he didn't say anything.
Because my idea is indeed a bit greedy, even if Ayesha is not jealous.
As if she had seen through Jiang Chen's thoughts, Ayesha just smiled.
Staring into those tender blue eyes, Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.
Gently putting down the silver fork in her hand, Ayesha continued to speak.
"If she leaves you because of this, it only means that she only has a good impression of you, not love. If she loves you deeply, she will never leave you because of this. At least, she will try to 'snatch you back'."
Grab it back? It's not like what the thin-skinned Xia Shiyu would choose.
"Well, it feels like it's getting complicated." Jiang Chen sighed and scratched the back of his head.
Forget it, let’s just let nature take its course when it comes to emotional issues.
It's almost January now. In order to secure the food supply in the wasteland as soon as possible, it would be better to solve the problem of the Pannu Islands as soon as possible. (.)
