Lin Xi didn't sleep. She sat in front of the window and looked at the night quietly. In her chip was a complete set of plans for developing physical abilities given to her by Chu Jungui, but now she even took the first step to consciously evolve her body tissues.
None have been completed. Without this step, a certain tissue in the body cannot evolve in a predetermined direction.
At this moment, Li Ruobai appeared on the communication channel.
"Sister Xi, if you haven't slept yet, I'll wait for you at the hotel bar and have a chat," Li Ruobai said.
"wait for me."
After a while, Lin Xi sat across from Li Ruobai. Li Ruobai directly ordered three bottles of wine of different vintages, poured a glass for Lin Xi and himself, clinked the glasses and drank them all in one gulp. He breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said, "Give it to Mr. Chu.
Working for that brat is really exhausting! He just kept saying that he wanted to meet with Su Jian. How much effort and resources did I spend to find Xu Yannian's way and ask him to send the news to Su Jian's desk?
Yes. But the effect is not bad, so it’s not a waste of time.”
Lin Xi silently poured herself another glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Ruobai finally lost his composure and said, "Sister Xi, what's going on between you and Jun Gui? We've been in a real dream for so long, why haven't we slept together yet?"
Lin Xi smiled bitterly but still said nothing.
Li Ruobai became anxious: "What's going on? Did you quarrel?"
"No, our relationship has always been very good."
"What's the use of just being nice? You can't always be like this!" Li Ruobai was as anxious as if he couldn't get married.
"Okay, don't worry about us. This is good."
"How can this work? Let me think about it, maybe Chu Jungui's piece of wood is just shy, so he needs to find a way. Let's do this, you pretend to be drunk, and then I will pretend that I sent you to the wrong room and put you in his room. You
What do you think?"
Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gave Li Ruobai a fierce look.
Li Ruobai tried hard to persuade, but Lin Xi refused to listen. In the end, Li Ruobai had no choice but to sigh: "Sister Xi, you can't be humble about this kind of thing! If you are a step slow, you may be robbed by others!"
"I know!" Lin Xi took a bottle of wine and went back to the room. Li Ruobai shook his head and drank alone.
dawn.
Chu Jungui woke up from a deep sleep. This was a rare sleep that made him feel refreshed. He had no need to sleep for a long time. The wisdom centers distributed throughout the body could take turns to rest. However, adequate sleep can still bring
Psychological pleasure.
Chu Jungui got dressed, washed up, and after breakfast, he met Lin Xi and Li Ruobai in the hotel lobby and went directly to Devere Comet Company, where he met the military delegation.
The trip went very smoothly. In this marginal star field, Devry's Comet is a huge thing, and it was hosting a military delegation, so the arrangements were naturally very thorough.
Chu Jungui and others successfully merged with the military delegation. This was a huge team, with hundreds of people, led by a lieutenant general with gray hair on his temples. There were also many famous logos among the company representatives, and the scale was larger than
Devry's Comet is much bigger, but I don't know what level the visitor is.
In comparison, Chu Jungui and the others were very inconspicuous. They followed the flow of people into the company with a logo that few people had seen. They participated in the name of a small starship equipment company of the Li family in Tianyu.
.
The headquarters of Devry's Comet occupies an extremely large area, almost like a city. Everyone took a flying car to the headquarters' most famous amphitheater and took their seats as arranged.
Chu Jungui's status at the moment was really nothing noteworthy, so he was arranged in the last row. The grand theater was grand in scale, but there were only 800 seats. Even the back row seats were exquisite high-backed chairs, and they were high up in the sky, so they had no vision.
hinder.
The only special thing was that a lieutenant colonel from the military quietly sat next to Chu Jungui and introduced himself. He was Lin Xuansheng's confidant, and Chu Jungui could talk to him about anything he needed.
In the center of the grand theater, a bald old man walked slowly onto the podium. Chu Jungui could tell at a glance that the old man's slow movements were due to aging rather than pretense.
When the old man stood on the podium, he was already breathing slightly. He greeted everyone, and then said: "Thank you for coming! As we all know, Devere Comet is a great company with a history of 370 years, and has built 45 main ships for the dynasty.
There are 210 heavy cruisers and more than 1,000 light cruisers! And I entered this great company at the age of 22, and it has been 110 years. The current status of the group is as follows..."
Devre Comet has more than 500 branches and holding companies, more than 5 million employees, and more than 10,000 suppliers. However, for such a huge company, the annual revenue is only tens of billions, and the profit is less than 1 billion.
The elderly chairman on the podium was still talking non-stop. He thought he was passionate, but in fact his speech was slow, repeated from time to time, and mixed with many cold jokes from decades or even hundreds of years ago. All the guests listened.
I feel sleepy again and again. Fortunately, now we can directly receive and process information through personal chips. Therefore, most people seem to have sharp eyes and listen attentively. In fact, they don’t know where their minds are going. Just look at the flashes on their pupils.
You can tell by the flickering light and shadow.
Chu Jun had seen the company's statements before returning. After layers of whitewashing, the statements were still ugly. Not to mention the low profit margin, at least one-third of the revenue was receivable and had not yet been recorded.
The problem is that when Chu Jungui casually looked through the information, he felt that there were many doubts in these receivables. Some companies were obviously related to Comet Deverley, and even the minimum cover-up was done sloppily.
The company's most profitable business comes from starship maintenance and repair. This part of the business is easy to understand. Many of the starships built by Devry's Comet back then are still in service, and their maintenance naturally belongs to Devry's Comet. It's just that Devry's Comet
Frey's Comet has not received an order for a large starship in 10 years. It is conceivable that this business will become smaller and smaller in the future. Moreover, this business cannot withstand careful scrutiny. In terms of income level, the average starship
The ship company will allocate 20,000 employees for this department, and the number for Comet de Frey is 100,000!
In addition, Comet Devry also has an extremely large headquarters. As soon as he arrived at the city-sized headquarters, Chu Jungui began to pay attention to relevant data. Sure enough, Comet Devre's headquarters has as many as 300,000 employees.
Among them, there are 170,000 researchers of various types, distributed in 1,200 large and small research institutes and design institutes.
Chu Jungui was a little curious. Hundreds of thousands of researchers were working day and night. How could they have lost all the military orders? There are only a few hundred scientists and engineers in light years.
In addition to the two Wu tribes, didn't they also get orders from the military? Of course, when thinking about this matter, Chu Jungui ignored Lin Xuansheng intentionally or unintentionally.
