Monderson Group has been looking for the remaining keys, but due to the different shapes of the keys, the progress is quite slow.
As soon as Chu Qianli made a move, there were two keys, which was naturally unexpected and shocked.
Facing being ripped off, Lin angrily said: "We are a cooperative relationship, she has already held the key, but you have been hiding it..."
Compared with paid rewards, Lin is now nervous about negotiations. Even if the crystal ball is thrown away, the Chinese side still has four keys, which breaks the original assumption!
No one thought that Chu Qianli could hide until now!
Pan Yicheng: "Oh, it's said that it took a lot of effort. We didn't know it at the beginning."
Chu Qianli took advantage of the situation and began to show off, dissatisfied: "Professor Pan, we respect you for being a professor and taking us with you, so we dare to hand over the key with confidence. Who would have thought that he would not care about it at all..."
Pan Yicheng was apologetic: "Oh, what should I do, you two really don't want to go?"
"..."
Lin saw the two singing together, how could he fail to understand the implication in the words, no wonder Chu Qianli was confident all the way. She already had two keys in her hand, but she pretended not to understand and inquired about the information, asking Mondsen if she had found all the keys.
Even if she accidentally overturns the car halfway, she can solve the trouble by taking out the key, but they are sure to have nothing to do with her!
Lin was still arrogant and determined just now, he was silent for a moment, then his voice lowered, and he stretched out his hand to the people around him: "...is it still the old account?"
He really didn't like Chu Qianli, but the key to the ruins was the most important thing, and now he had to knock out his teeth and swallow it.
"It's still the old account." Chu Qianli tilted his head, blinking and said, "But we have been questioned and have no credibility. This is simply tarnishing our reputation. It seems that we need an apology."
Lin frowned slightly, and his eyes were slightly cold. After pondering for a few seconds, he raised the price impatiently: "Twenty."
This means that you would rather pay more than apologize.
Chu Qianli smiled and said, "It turns out that an apology is so valuable."
Lin warned coldly: "Don't push yourself too far."
"It's not about taking an inch, it's just that this amount of money is nothing to you. Since we are a cooperative relationship, at least you have to show an attitude."
As a member of Mondsen who was exposed to the public, Lin is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, not to mention the part of the family business that is far away from the public eye. For him, money is like game numbers, and more importantly, his prestige as a leader.
It is impossible for him to apologize, admit defeat, or admit his mistakes. It can be said that he was blackmailed for paying, but it would be embarrassing to apologize.
Such people will never believe that they are wrong, they always feel that they are the rules of the world itself. It's like Lin still doesn't think it's wrong to break into Ebner's apartment to search for the pendulum. Even if they smashed the tea set once, they just need to pay another ten sets. Why should they apologize
Lin previously asked the consulates of many countries to question China's abuse of power and wrong procedures. Chu Qianli now says "smearing our reputation", which is obviously a hidden needle and a hidden meaning.
She asked him to show his attitude more ruthlessly than asking for money, which can be described as murderous.
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate in an instant.
Pan Yicheng smoothed things over: "Since everyone will cooperate in the future, I just took advantage of today's opportunity to reverse the previous misunderstanding. How about taking a step back?"
Chu Qianli said obediently: "I'm sorry." I shouldn't be mad at you, but I know my mistakes and don't correct them.
Chu Qianli is an ordinary person, she can't represent the official, so it doesn't matter. But Lin is Mondsen's negotiator, and his apology now has a different meaning, especially when he contacted the consulates of many countries.
She set him up with one word. She did it on purpose.
Pan Yicheng and the others immediately looked at Lin, with "Why are you not as good as a child" written on their faces.
Lin is now on pins and needles. Thinking about the two relic keys, countless stories of resilience and humiliation flooded in his mind, and he said with difficulty: "... sorry."
This remark indicates that the negotiation is not good, at least he has a bad momentum at first.
Seeing his defeat, Chu Qianli actually asked for a fight: "I apologize in English, can't you use Chinese?"
Lin's eyes burst out with a murderous light.
Chu Qianli accepted it as soon as she saw it was good, she immediately left with Tan Muxing, and said: "All right, all right, that's it, I apologize first, and remember to settle the money."
"..."
Chu Qianli and others were unable to intervene in the official negotiations, but when she interfered before the negotiations, she inexplicably made Lin half a head shorter, and the final result was bound to be bad.
After the negotiations, the Chinese side had the upper hand.
After the meeting adjourned, Lin threw the agreement document aside, and at this moment, anger was burning in his chest. With a gloomy face, he said word by word: "She doesn't want to leave Country H alive."
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks. As long as the ruins are deciphered, she will be useless, and the Chinese side will have to see if they have the ability to protect them.
Before the group goes to country H, they need to prepare.
Because Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were about to register for school, Pan Yicheng came forward to go through the formalities for the two of them, suspending their enrollment until the next class.
The matter is of great importance. Of course, the official will contact the family members. Due to the non-disclosure agreement, the baby stone is not mentioned, but it also clarifies the importance of the project.
In the Tan family compound, after listening to Tan Muxing's thoughts, everyone was preoccupied and had different expressions.
The trip to country H is remote, and the Chinese army cannot enter the country, so it is obviously dangerous to go here.
Tan Muxing has been weak-tempered since he was a child, but he has grown up rapidly in recent years. Not only has he lost weight inexplicably, but he has gradually started to have his own ideas, but these ideas seem to be increasing, to the point where his family members are worried.
Yin Yin: "Xing Xing, but you don't understand these things, what's the use of running over there? I know you're worried about your friends, but you won't be of much use in the past!"
The last time Yin Yin let Tan Muxing go to the Gobi, he didn't expect to come back with injuries and fractures. Now that he plans to go to H country, everyone has a premonition that the road ahead will not be smooth.
Tan Muxing's eyelashes trembled slightly. Facing the worried elders, he said calmly, "Grandma, in fact, I always knew that I was useless. Since I was a child, I have never had any ideas from my brothers and sisters. Whether it is study or life, I seem to have no idea." I am not better than others, but my family gives me a halo... "
Yin Yin showed embarrassment: "... I didn't mean that."
"But even if I am like this, there are still things I have to do." Tan Muxing said softly, "I once thought about it, otherwise let it be like this, everything is fine now, and I should be satisfied, but later I understood, choose If you don’t fight at all, you won’t even be able to keep what you have.”
"I really don't understand those things so far, but after hearing and seeing them, it can be regarded as a little understanding."
He said seriously: "I am now convinced that there are some things in the world that only I can do. I didn't just come here for nothing. There must be something that needs me to do, even if I don't know what it is."
In the past, he resisted his own strength and muddled along, always feeling that he was an ordinary person, just a part of the vast crowd.
But meeting her was the beginning of the transformation.
He has no interest in divination of the future, but he likes to see her guide others to a better future.
He still doesn't know magic, but he will be moved by magic stories.
Yin Yin was startled when she heard the words, she looked at the calm Tan Muxing, she always felt both familiar and strange. When he spoke, he was unhurried and non-aggressive, but something changed, revealing his true form in the chaos.
Tan Qiyu was silent for a moment, and reminded: "Xing Xing, have you ever thought that even if you return safely, many things may happen in the future."
"You may also change one day. At that time, your thinking is different from now, just like you are different from the past."
Tan Muxing once learned about Chu Qianli's fate from Xu Gandao, and he understood Tan Muxing's mentality, but was also worried that the other party would not understand. This is the case now, but time has passed and the situation has changed. In ten, twenty, thirty years, will Xingxing still think so
Tan Qiyu was afraid that this relationship would eventually turn into resentment, and Tan Muxing turned his dedication into anger.
And once people turn from love to hate, that is the beginning of the curse.
Tan Muxing lowered her eyes: "...I understand."
"I made this choice not in exchange for her promise, or to force her to make a promise, but just at this moment..." Tan Muxing said with a smile, "I just wanted her best, so I did it."
He didn't ask for any results, he just hoped that she would be well.
There may be many changes in the future, but he has nothing to do now, just want to hold the present moment.
On the other side, Yu Xin and He Zhenghe also got the news, but they only knew that it was the follow-up of the special talent project, and they didn't know that it was related to Chu Qianli's fate.
This was Chu Qianli's special request to Professor Pan. She didn't want the house to be full of worries before leaving home, making everyone lose their spirits.
Pan Yicheng looked surprised: "But you have to talk about it sooner or later."
"Is it important to say..." Chu Qianli said vaguely, "If there is nothing to do, then it will be all right, and if there is something to do, you can't hide from it. If you really can't do it, make me a national sacrifice."
Now her time is approaching, if she solves it in Country H, she will be fine. If she doesn't find a solution after returning from Country H, then there will be only one or two years left, not to mention that she may not come back.
Pan Yicheng hurriedly said: "Bah, bah, bah! Don't try to cheat the state's compassionate pension, and come back if nothing happens!"
In the villa, Aunt Li was busy all day in the kitchen, and the family had a grand dinner in the restaurant to celebrate Shi Chen's upcoming entry into a prestigious university, and to celebrate Chu Qianli's participation in major projects at a young age.
He Zheng raised his glass with joy: "It's time for your mother and I to prepare for the rest of our lives. In two years, I look forward to the performance of the two of you!"
Yu Xin smiled and said, "They still have to study for four years in college."
With a stab in Chu Qianli's heart, she quickly asked again: "Is my brother going for an internship?"
Chu Qianli was busy in City G during the summer vacation, and He Shichen was busy with work during the summer vacation, faintly showing the embryonic form of a business tycoon.
He Shichen said lightly, "Yes, when you were so wild that you didn't even know to go home."
Chu Qianli cheered him on: "Very good, new school atmosphere, don't 996, go straight to 007!"
"..."
A reunion dinner is relaxed and leisurely.
Chu Qianli disobediently ate two ice creams after the meal, until He Shichen yelled at her that she would only eat snacks and not eat, then fled back to the house with the ice cream in her arms, completely blocking the roar of the monster from the door.
Everything in the bedroom is as usual, just to pack the luggage.
Chu Qianli opened the closet, she stared at the dress made by Tan Muxing for a long time, and then took it out of the closet.
It stands to reason that there is no chance to wear it during the trip to country H, but she thought it would be good to have it for a while. She simply put on the original gloves, the gold ornaments for her birthday, and the knots woven in the shaman village, all of which were not left behind.
Chu Qianli packed her luggage and her account, and accidentally discovered new information.
This is the account of the Magic Card Girls squad. Qiu Qingkong used to take care of it a lot, and received feedback from netizens from time to time. Ever since Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were busy with engineering projects, the trio's small businesses had been put on hold, and Qiu Qingkong was busy studying abroad, so the account was deserted in an instant.
Chu Qianli hadn't divination online for a long time, so he was naturally surprised by the new news, and even had an impression of the sender.
The other person seemed to be called Zhou Qiang, who was asking about his career at the time, and had issued Chu Qianli a student ID to prove that he was an adult.
[Smelly sister, I just got promoted recently. You said that it took me three years to surpass my income in another company, but it didn’t take as long as you said. My income has already caught up now, so I can’t wait to give you feedback on divination La! ]
[I see that your account has not been updated for a long time. I guess you should have gone for the college entrance examination. A good kid should study hard. All the good results are due to your hard work in the early stage. I look forward to more videos after you graduate, sister, I Go to the celebration dinner! High school come on! ! ]
Every line in Zhou Qiang's words is filled with joy and happiness.
This was news before the college entrance examination, but it was discovered only now.
All good results are the result of your hard work up front. This is what Chu Qianli said at the time, and now it is used by Zhou Qiang again. It seems that the other party is really impressed.
"What, you actually used what I said to encourage me, it's too insincere..." Chu Qianli muttered softly after reading the news, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile.
At such a time, she would feel that there is nothing wrong with being number one in the world.
She may have died for this talent, but her original astrological aspirations have not changed.
The day of leaving home finally arrived.
At the entrance of the villa, Chu Qianli and his parents hugged each other farewell, and even hugged Aunt Li. Only He Shichen was reluctant to go forward awkwardly, exuding an aura of indifference that made no one get close to him.
Pan Yicheng and others communicated with Yu Xin and He Zhenghe.
Outside the courtyard, Chu Qianli and He Shichen stood together, waiting boredly for the car to come.
She looked around lazily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the golden armillary sphere in the courtyard, and said casually: "Brother, in two years, when the price of gold is high, pick a time to dispose of the armillary sphere in the courtyard."
She originally planned to be buried with her, but now she is not sure where she will be buried.
He Shichen was stunned, looked at her in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Why? Didn't you cry and ask to buy it back?"
He Shichen had never even thought about the golden armillary sphere, he was afraid that if he sold it, it would cause trouble and cause the brat to roll and cry non-stop.
Chu Qianli's expression paused, and he said carelessly: "I'm tired of it, I want to buy something else recently, call me the money after you sell it."
“…who the hell used to spout gold as stellar remnants.”
Chu Qianli waved his hand perfunctorily: "Oh, save money to buy an air station."
"???"
Facing her casual attitude, He Shichen felt a strange premonition for some reason, immediately frowned, and questioned, "Where are you going?"
There are confidentiality agreements for major projects, and the family members don't know much information.
Chu Qianli begged and said: "Hee hee, it's a place you'll never get to in your life, and the people there are super rich." The money provided is enough for you to support a fleet of aircraft.
He Shichen ignored her playful smile, his eyes darkened slightly, and he confirmed with a voice: "Are you coming back?"
He had already discovered many abnormalities in her, and now he said that he would deal with the armillary sphere, and he reached the peak of doubt in an instant.
Chu Qianli was stunned, she touched her nose, and covered herself: "Brother, you refused to hug me just now, but now you want to be sensational before you leave, what are you asking..."
Seeing that she avoided answering, He Shichen said solemnly: "I don't know how to deal with the armillary sphere. I suggest you go home on time, or you will be at your own risk."
"What are the consequences?"
"Don't we have a contract? You want to share my follow-up income." He Shichen said with a calm face, "It's only been a year or two. I've never seen a person who ignores the spirit of the contract like you. You should hold on longer."
Chu Qianli was taken aback, she didn't expect him to say this, and then reminded: "... But we didn't write the breach of contract regulations at the beginning, right?"
"I'll start to add it, and I'll see when you come back." He Shichen sneered, "You don't just like leisure, you have to come back to have a chance, otherwise it will be wasted."
"I'm sure I will live a long life. How much money you can share with me depends on your ability."
He sensed something, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Qianli's heart was full of turmoil, and it took her a long time to calm down, and she muttered softly: "Brother, you are so twisted when you say goodbye."
"But should I say it or not, my brother may live a long life, but he should be bald quickly." She thought.
“… I think gold prices have been doing well lately.”
After a while, Chu Qianli finally boarded the car. She leaned out from the window and said loudly, "Don't sell it! I want more!"
Seeing her leaning out of the car window, He Shichen couldn't tolerate the dangerous action, so he said furiously, "Sit back for me—"
He Zhenghe smiled and waved goodbye.
Seeing her son's ferocious face, Yu Xin whispered, "Shi Chen, it will disturb others by making such a loud noise..."
The vehicle drove out of the villa area, and the familiar small building became farther and farther away, and even the family members in front of the door could not see it.
Chu Qianli didn't lean over to watch, she sat back to her seat honestly, then suddenly raised her neck and said with emotion: "Fortunately."
Pan Yicheng sat with her in the back, he saw her looking up strangely, and asked in doubt, "Fortunately what?"
Chu Qianli kept his head up, which kept Wen Nuan from falling.
"Fortunately, I didn't come back early, otherwise I would be reluctant to leave."
