"Rhine..." Qu Jianlei muttered softly, and an image of a female A-level emerged in his mind.
Count Haiyin's sixth daughter and youngest daughter was once saved by him and tried hard to help him.
The manor in Niaoming Stream was actually very nice, but it was a pity that he had to leave later.
He pondered for a moment before speaking, "What does she want?"
Although Jing Yuexin was not wearing palace clothes, she was still bright and attractive, but in the eyes of the imperial people, she might have lost a little weight.
She pondered for a moment and spoke, "When I was dying on the garbage planet, she arrived in time..."
She seldom talked about her experience. It was very embarrassing for her to have her limbs cut off while climbing the stairs.
Qu Jianlei knew that she didn't like to mention it and rarely asked about it.
Hearing her rarely mention this topic, he suddenly remembered something, "Do you know about a pink mecha?"
Jing Yuexin's brows furrowed slightly, "At that time, I pretended to be a reformed warrior... It's all personal preference, it's all over."
This mystery has puzzled Qu Jianlei for many years, but now that he has the answer, it seems that it is not worth worrying about for so many years.
Maybe it's because of growth.
But without the pink mecha, there wouldn't be so many variables.
If he had not received that injection of transformation potion, there is a high probability that he would have become a withered skeleton on the garbage planet at this moment.
It's always thanks to you, he nodded slightly, "The Rhine matter...how do you want to deal with it?"
"She wants to..." Jing Yuexin spoke in a deep voice, "She knew your true identity, so she withstood a lot of pressure and didn't say anything."
"A lot of pressure" is just four words, but Qu Jianlei can clearly understand the heaviness and suffering involved.
Just like the word "labor pain", who can know how painful the person involved is?
Qu Jianlei picked up the wine glass, touched it with Jing Yuexin, and spoke calmly.
"I only blame her for rescuing you, I just ask for conditions... I agree to anything that doesn't touch the bottom line."
Jing Yuexin drank the wine glass in one gulp, "I want to recruit her into the team. I know you will definitely give her this face."
"But the problem is... there are more people in Dogan than me. Now that we have started this, what will we do in the future?"
Regardless of whether they are her subordinates or Duogan's subordinates, they always want something when they follow the Supreme Being.
Before the digital phantom appeared, everyone might just want to hug a thick leg and live a better life.
If you're lucky, with a few words from the boss, you might be able to find the way to the top.
But the digital phantom appeared, and the boss followed the digital phantom... Who can give up higher demands?
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "How can she compare with you...?"
One is a teammate who has been fighting together since they were weak, and the other is a sensible person who only joined after being defeated. Can this be the same?
However, Jing Yuexin shook her head and spoke seriously, "If there are no rules, there will be no rule. Is that what you said?"
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and listened to her continue.
"The current digital phantom is no longer a grassroots team. How many people are watching... things must be done in a structured way."
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "We will deal with the specific situation on a case-by-case basis."
"There is no perfect rules and regulations in the world. Discussing things as they are is the fundamental way to solve problems...Who let me know her?"
"Okay," Jing Yuexin nodded and sighed quietly - this was not the answer she most wanted to hear.
At this moment, a tall, strong man came over holding a wine glass and sat down opposite them.
"Both of you, I'd like to excuse you... I have some implementation ideas for near-earth jumps. Are you interested in knowing about them?"
The man was unshaven and unkempt, but he was indeed very tall, over 1.8 meters tall.
Such a height is definitely considered outstanding in the empire.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other and smiled helplessly - people here really dare to take the initiative to sell.
But this kind of situation is not uncommon. It happened several times tonight... Generally speaking, they are all looking for fat sheep.
Jing Yuexin ignored this person, but Qu Jianlei had to answer - Future Star did not do anything like this.
He shook his head and said calmly, "Sorry, we are not interested in new technologies."
When the tall man heard this, he immediately became excited, "Why can't we talk about new technologies in the Dusk Bar? There are many people like this, right?"
This is indeed the case. There are not only old technologies in the twilight bar, but also new technologies that try their luck.
If you can buy old patents, is it normal to invest in new technologies?
The man didn't finish his words, "Besides, near-Earth jump is not a new technology. This conjecture has been around for many years!"
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead helplessly, "There are many people who are trying to cheat money based on this guess... leave before I get angry!"
Are you kidding? Forget it if you say something else, near-earth jump...are you making a fuss?
"I'm definitely not a liar," a trace of helplessness flashed across the man's eyes, he muttered in a low voice, and was about to stand up and leave.
This all seems like the normal reaction of a person who has hit a wall many times.
At this moment, a strong woman walked over, holding a large glass of wine in her hand and letting out a wild laugh.
"Haha, Karl, are you using your clumsy methods to defraud money again?"
The man's face turned a little red, but he left without a hurry, "Wei Bo, you don't understand technology at all! I feel pathetic for you!"
"But there is no doubt that I have lived a more successful life than you," the woman continued to laugh loudly.
In the future stars with numerous elites, such noisy scenes are rare, and can only be seen in bars at dusk.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin didn't say anything, just looked at these two people coldly.
Not far away from the two of them, Jia Shuiqing and Yuanyuan were sitting opposite each other, while Hua Xiezi and Bentley were whispering.
Mu Guang was walking around with a glass of wine in his hand.
Karl looked at Qu Jianlei again, "Sir, it will only take you a little time, why don't you give it a try?"
Mu Guang's spiritual consciousness came over, "Boss, these two people are most likely a team!"
Qu Jianlei also had such a guess, but it was not as confirmed as his.
Since this was the case, he simply returned his consciousness and asked, "Can you please measure these two?"
When gangs commit crimes, there are usually other helpers behind them, even in the future.
Is there no gray area in the R&D center? It's impossible, so it's better to follow the clues and see who is behind the other party.
If these gray forces can survive, they must have mastered a lot of secret information. Without this ability, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Mu Guang knew what he meant, so he replied, "It's a bit abrupt for me to strike up a conversation, and it's easy for me to startle others."
This is true, Qu Jianlei knows very well that these people who are walking on the edge of gray are extremely vigilant.
He glanced at Jing Yuexin, and then said calmly, "Then give it a try?"
Jing Yuexin nodded lightly, "Whatever you want."
"Sir," the strong woman interjected, "this guy's stuff is really misleading."
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei glanced at her and didn't say much, but the look in his eyes was full of warning.
When the woman saw this, she immediately fell silent and silently took two steps back.
Qu Jianlei raised his chin at the tall man opposite him, "Then tell me your thoughts?"
The man looked around and said awkwardly, "Sir, can you change seats?"
Jing Yuexin raised her hand, called the waiter from the bar, and asked him to arrange a seat.
The waiter glanced at Karl and left calmly.
It's obvious that the waiters at Dusk Bar are very qualified and don't talk too much.
The private seats here are similar to private rooms, except there are no doors, but even so, they are much cleaner.
There is a minimum consumption limit for private seats, which is as high as more than 2,000 silver dollars.
Although Qu Jianlei was not short of this little money, he couldn't help but have a thought pop up in his mind - could it be a bartender?
After the three of them sat down, the tall and muscular man spoke up, "Two adults, do you know the principle of transition?"
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other and shook their heads.
They often use teleportation arrays, but teleportation and jump...are basically two different systems.
But if you don’t know, you just don’t know. There’s no need to pretend, but let’s see what this person can say.
It’s no surprise to a tall man. Investors don’t need to be professional, they just need to understand the wind direction and risks.
He nodded, "Then there is no need to talk about the principle. This is originally the top secret of the empire. Let me tell you the general idea..."
He was not polite and directly stated that investors did not need to know too much.
He spoke cracklingly for two minutes, using very easy-to-understand language.
Then Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other again and said calmly, "Continue."
The man was stunned for a moment and asked carefully, "Did I not explain clearly enough?"
"Is this a clear question?" Qu Jianlei rubbed his eyebrows and spoke helplessly.
"Where is the planning document, where is the market research report, where is the feasibility analysis, and where is the risk estimate?"
"You can't just rely on your mouth to talk for two minutes and ask us to agree, right?"
"Hmph," Jing Yuexin snorted, "We don't ask for detailed principles, but the solution must be specific, right?"
The attitude of the two of them was to say that the other was a wolf with nothing.
"A specific plan...of course there is one," the tall and muscular man replied without hesitation.
"But..." he hesitated and then said, "Are you two really interested?"
Well done! Qu Jianlei is no stranger to this situation.
It's nothing more than packaging yourself as a researcher who is afraid of others stealing secrets, and making people's appetites step by step.
In the best place in China, he saw many such people.
Of course there are people who are looking for investors with various detailed plans, but they are story-telling types, so there is no need to elaborate on this.
There are many people who cherish this kind of broom, especially since some solutions cannot be registered as patents, so it is more appropriate to hide them.
But now, he just smiled coldly, "Didn't I tell you to continue?"
The man hesitated and said, "This investment may cost billions."
