Chen Yan pouted, thinking that Hawkenstein was most likely killed by Peake and his son.
After all, probably no one knows better than him how much the Neptune cost, so it is not impossible to kill the insider in order to cover up the cover.
But it’s okay not to talk about this past-tense topic. Besides, there are more important things to do now.
Yes, go through various handover procedures with Pique.
The most important of these is the highest authority of the Neptune's entire ship management system.
Only Peake has this authority.
If he shuts down the system, no one can drive the Neptune away.
In fact, every time he goes out to "hunt", the Neptune's interstellar jumping ability will be locked, so even if Martin wants to escape while he is away, it is impossible.
Now, with a black metal card handed to Chen Yan, this authority belongs to him.
Then, Pique handed over his personal safe.
Only he knew the exact location of the safe, so he didn't let anyone else see it when handing it over. He just pulled Chen Yan into the bedroom and opened the door to a dark room.
Just inside the door is the safe.
To be precise, it is a very large vault.
It was filled with gold bars and various valuables, as well as a large amount of art that this guy had stolen from his wars.
Opening a filing cabinet, Peake took out a contract and handed it to Chen Yan, "This is the labor contract signed by Martin and I. Please read it carefully."
Chen Yan took it in his hand and quickly browsed it.
Before he finished reading, he felt his scalp was numb.
Yes, he didn't expect that the annual service fee paid by Peake to Martin and others would actually exceed 200 million.
This does not include free meals and accommodation as well as tips for various services.
"Is it very expensive?" Looking at Chen Yan's face, Pique smiled slightly and said: "But it's expensive. Their service is not only high-quality but also extremely professional. You don't have to worry about them being lazy, let alone worrying about them being lazy. Do you have any other ideas? Because as long as the contract is signed, they will strictly abide by it."
After a pause, Pique added: "I suggest you continue to hire them instead of hiring your own people. Although your own people may be more reliable, they will also cause more trouble. And often you think you can save a lot of money, In the end, it may be more expensive than hiring Martin and the others. I think you can understand the logic of this."
Chen Yan did not say a word.
Yes, this contract is for a total of five years.
This year is the last year.
And now it is the end of the year. A few days ago, Pique just paid the last quarter's payment to Martin, so there is no need to make an immediate decision now.
Originally, Chen Yan wanted to hide the Neptune privately, but now he knows that he does not have the ability.
If it is left to the family to take care of, then Chen Jianzhang may not continue to hire the Martin team.
Looking at Chen Yan's expression, Pique asked softly: "Did...I said something wrong?"
"No, you are right." Chen Yan nodded with a smile, raised his hand and patted Peake on the shoulder, "Have you figured out how to go back? I personally think that the safer way is to go through the prisoner exchange channel. After all, you have such a status Your prisoners of war can quickly enter the exchange process, and with my endorsement, no one dares to stop you."
"No, no!" Pique waved his hand and said, "I can go back by myself."
"oh?"
"If you allow me, please let me drive the Deep Sea rescue ship in Port 3 to leave. This ship has a strong interstellar jumping ability and sufficient fuel, which is enough for me to return to the sphere of influence of the Castleman Empire. "
"It seems that you have been prepared for a long time." Chen Yan frowned slightly.
"Yes, the Deep Sea was originally my escape ship, but I never had the chance to use it before." At this point, Peake's face showed a sincere expression again, "General Chen, please."
Chen Yan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, if you are sure you can go back safely, then I have no reason to stop you. But I will say something ugly beforehand. If you are captured by others along the way, I will not be responsible anymore. Yes, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" Pique nodded repeatedly.
Seeing the two people coming out of the bedroom, looking like they were talking happily, Martin quickly came up to him and asked with a smile: "General Chen, look at our contract..."
"We won't discuss your contract until you enter the Falling Star Sea."
"Uh..." Martin opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something more, Chen Yan had already walked out without looking back...
The Neptune is ready to depart.
Unlike ordinary starships, its pilot room is not located in the command room, but is placed in an independent section at the bottom of the hull.
There is an observation deck with 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, which is specially used by the navigator.
Martin told Chen Yan that his navigator was a clairvoyant and a very beautiful woman.
Then he opened the holographic communication screen connected to the observation tower, and shouted in a friendly tone: "Hey! Little Maya, say hello to the new boss!"
Chen Yan looked at the holographic screen and saw a pair of sparkling eyes. Other than that, he saw nothing.
Oh my god!
Ji Xiaofei and Lu Youfu's exclamations came from behind, and then Lu Xiaojun muttered softly: "This girl... is so dark."
Yes, it's as black as coal.
In fact, Martin is relatively white among black people. The only ones who truly look like black people are Amu.
But this navigator is a bit too dark, with a color number several levels darker than Amu.
Then, because the lights in the observation deck were very dim, her face was completely invisible against the dim background, and only a pair of blinking eyes could be seen.
Perhaps hearing the shouts of Ji Xiaofei and the others, the navigator smiled, flashing her white teeth. She shook her hand and said, "Yes, I'm Maya, hello everyone!"
"Uh...hello!" Everyone nodded hurriedly.
"Hello, General Chen!" Maya greeted Chen Yan again. Obviously she already knew who the new boss was. "Please take good care of me in the future. I haven't been to the Eastern Clan Alliance yet, and I'm very excited now!"
"Definitely!" Chen Yan nodded.
"General Ji, I know that you are a clairvoyant like me, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to learn from you."
"Really? I'm coming now!" Ji Xiaofei raised his foot to leave, but was caught by Chen Yan, "You are indispensable here. Let's communicate later."
Yes, Chen Yan now needs Ji Xiaofei's on-the-spot command ability as a consultant. If he also goes down, will he have to consult Lu Youfu in case of any emergencies?
That pig head is still proud of himself!
"Can't do without me?" Looking at Chen Yan's hand grabbing his arm, Ji Xiaofei smiled sweetly: "Really?"
"Yeah!" Chen Yan nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go down later and tease girl Maya."
Pooh!
Lu Youfu spat on the ground and cursed: "Ji Xiaofei, you don't fucking like women, why are you teasing them?"
"It's none of your business!" Ji Xiaofei yelled back.
whee!
Maya laughed, shook her hand and said, "It's okay. I like a man with General Ji's temperament. I feel like we can be good sisters."
