After dragging her suitcase into the house, Natasha looked around the villa and asked abruptly.
"Are you together?"
He had no intention of hiding it, Jiang Chen nodded and admitted.
"That's right. A lot of things happened while you were back in Moscow."
"Eh? I can't tell," Natasha glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, and said with a playful expression, "I thought you two would continue to be ambiguous."
"What do you mean by continuing to be ambiguous?" Jiang Chen glanced at her, "Speaking of which, how did you find out?"
"After all, I am also a former KGB agent," Natasha shrugged, suddenly moved her face a few inches closer to Jiang Chen, pursed her lips and smiled, "What's more, I'm still a woman."
"I see, I almost forgot."
Jiang Chen looked like he was in a daze, and Natasha was so angry that she gave him a hard look.
Although she has been back in Russia for a while, Jiang Chen has always kept her room for her, and Ayesha occasionally cleans it for her. After helping her carry her suitcase into the room, Jiang Chen ignored her and went to Anga Island Industrial Park.
This morning, Yang Guanglei, CEO of Futureman Heavy Industries, sent him a text message through the office software within the Futureman Group. The X-1 No. 1 machine produced by Anga Island Industrial Park has completed its initial testing.
If nothing goes wrong, on the day of the United Nations Outer Space Summit held five days later, it will be sent into synchronous orbit by a space elevator together with 60 people participating in the first passenger carriage. It is driven by professionally trained astronauts and carries a transportation module that stores 5 kilograms of deuterium and several tons of earth food to complete the round-trip flight between the giant space station of Star Ring City and the lunar colony.
Although 80% of the parts are completed by industrial-grade 3D printers, this can be regarded as a sign that Anga Island High-tech Industrial Park has the ability to produce 22nd century equipment. In order to achieve this, Jiang Chen spent two years.
…
Although the first round of contact with Star Ring Trade ended in failure, Ye Qinghua was not discouraged. In a sense, he had expected that such a situation would occur. Is a negotiation still called a negotiation if it doesn't start with the lion's big mouth
If such a big project could be settled in one go, he would think that Jiang Chen had set a trap for him.
However, Jiang Chen's strong attitude in rejecting the track lease contract was beyond the expectations of Mr. Ye and the central government's senior officials in China. Twelve orbits, with the current aerospace market activities, there is simply no need for so many. From China's perspective, Starlink Trading should not reject this proposal.
It seems that we still underestimated the market prospects of space resource development and the ambition of Jiang Chen. The Future People Group is an expert in this field. As the saying goes, there are specialties in the industry, so they should be able to see further in this field...
After calling his granddaughter Ye Yunfei and scolding her, Mr. Ye let her go down and gave her a short vacation.
Her mission has been completed by testing Jiang Chen's bottom line at the negotiation table and the weight of her own chips in the other party's heart. Although for her personally, she was destined to gain nothing during this trip to the new country.
Although using the younger generation made Mr. Ye feel a little bit indebted, in the face of national interests, family interests are nothing, let alone family ties.
At worst, talk to Ye Xianrong when you go back and ask him not to embarrass his daughter about that marriage again. Although the boy named Xiang was in the limelight, he was nothing in front of the Jiangnan Ye family. Since Yun Fei doesn't like that guy, she can forget it.
This can be regarded as compensation for her.
As people get older, they will eventually become soft-hearted towards their juniors.
Shaking his head, Mr. Ye put the matter of his granddaughter aside and looked at the photo on the table.
This was taken by his bodyguard at the airport. The Russian woman holding the suitcase in the photo was Natasha who Jiang Chen had picked up from the airport earlier.
"A former senior KGB agent, he was active in the Russian-Ukrainian border area before retiring, where he first came into contact with Jiang Chen. His personal resume shows that he participated in hot events such as the Georgian War and the Crimean Crisis... How could such a person interact with Jiang Chen is mixed up."
Mr. Ye frowned slightly, puzzled.
Jiang Chen controls a special intelligence force, which is no longer a secret among intelligence organizations in various countries. He should not be unaware that the Russian beauty who lived in his home once served the Russian intelligence agency.
"Is it really as rumored..." Mr. Ye touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
According to the intelligence analyzed by the General Staff Investigation, Jiang Chen's private life is far from as low-key as commonly circulated on the Internet. Not only did he have a lover relationship with a certain domestic star, but it was also rumored that the female bodyguard who had always been with him was also his mistress.
There is even a saying that as early as when Jiang Chen was still in Wanghai City, he maintained an "ambiguous relationship" with his right-hand man, Xia Shiyu.
Not only that, it is said that in the villa he bought in Tokyo, Japan, he also raised a young lover who has not graduated from college...
"If he is really a womanizer, it would be good news for us." Mr. Ye's eyes flashed slightly.
Although he and the people above him no longer dreamed of persuading him to return to China for development, they would not mind a few ties that maintained a close relationship with him.
And marriage is a good choice!
Whether it is for the country or for their Ye family...
Thinking of this, Ye Qinghua's mind immediately flashed to the frustrated granddaughter who had been scolded by him earlier.
Although Ye Yunfei may have left a bad impression on Jiang Chen at the negotiation table, there is no deep hatred between the two. An impression is better than no impression at all! If we can use some small means to bring the two of them together...
Thinking of this, Mr. Ye's cloudy eyes gradually became brighter.
As far as appearance is concerned, he is confident that the daughter of his second son, even if she cannot be called a queen, is definitely a "disaster-level" beauty. Not only is she beautiful, she has also received an excellent aristocratic education. Whether it is personal talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or her Harvard degree, she is far beyond the reach of ordinary talented women.
Although he is a bit proud at heart, in the face of many advantages, this shortcoming can be completely ignored. As the saying goes, flaws do not cover up strengths, this is the truth.
As for Jiang Chen's private life, he didn't care at all.
Even if Jiang Chen wanted to establish a constitutional restoration of polygamy in his "little kingdom", even if Jiang Chen would not devote any conjugal affection to her after marriage.
In the face of national interests, so-called personal feelings have never been important. The strength shown by the Future People Group and Star Ring Trade is completely enough for the Ye family to put aside their traditional restraint and sacrifice the personal happiness of a certain clan member.
"It's just... Yunfei is suffering."
Mr. Ye sighed, pondered for a moment, then reached for the phone and called his second son Ye Xianrong, who was the provincial secretary-general.
There was no need to ask for permission from the superiors on this matter, but he had to talk to Yun Fei's father first. Regardless of whether the marriage can be negotiated or not, Yun Fei must do her ideological work well.
It was indeed a bit difficult for her to let go of her prejudices and approach a man she didn't love at all.
But Ye Lao believes that she will understand his and her father's painstaking efforts. (.)
