Chapter 1422 Double Act
"Rhine..." Qu Jianlei muttered softly, and the image of a female A-level appeared in his mind.
The sixth and youngest daughter of Count Haiyin, who had been rescued by him and had tried hard to help him.
The manor in Niaomingjian was actually very nice, but unfortunately he had to leave later.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "What does she want?"
Although Jing Yuexin was not wearing a palace dress, she was still bright and beautiful, but in the eyes of the imperial people, she might be a little thin.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "When I was on the verge of death on the garbage planet, she arrived just in time..."
She seldom talked about her experience. It was very embarrassing for a supreme being to have her limbs chopped off while trying to break through the barriers.
Qu Jianlei knew that she didn't like to mention it and rarely asked about it.
Hearing her bring up this topic, he suddenly remembered something, "Do you know a pink mecha?"
Jing Yuexin frowned slightly, "At that time, I was disguised as a transformed warrior... It's just my personal preference, it's all in the past."
This mystery has puzzled Qu Jianlei for many years, but now that he has got the answer, it seems that it was not worth worrying about it 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, he would most likely have become a pile of bones on the garbage planet by now.
Thanks to you, he nodded slightly, "How do you want to deal with Rhine's matter?"
"She wanted to..." Jing Yuexin said in a deep voice, "She knew your true identity and endured a lot of pressure, so she didn't tell anyone."
"A lot of pressure" are just four simple words, but Qu Jianlei can sense the heaviness and torment contained within them.
Just like the word “labor pains”, who can know how much pain the person involved is in?
Qu Jianlei picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Jing Yuexin, and spoke calmly.
"Just because she saved you, just make the conditions... I will agree to anything that does not touch my bottom line."
Jing Yuexin took the wine glass and drank it all. "I want to recruit her into the team. I know you will definitely give her this favor."
"But the problem is...Dorgan has more people than me. Now that this has happened, what should I do next?"
No matter whether they are her subordinates or Dogan’s subordinates, those who follow the Supreme always have something to ask for.
Before the emergence of digital phantoms, everyone might just want to hold on to a big thick leg and live a better life.
If you are lucky, with some pointers from the boss, you might be able to find the way to the highest level.
But the Digital Phantom appeared, and the boss was following the Digital Phantom... Who could give up higher demands?
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "How can she compare with you?"
One is a teammate who has fought together since childhood, and the other is a wise man who joined because he couldn't beat them. How can they be the same?
However, Jing Yuexin shook her head and said seriously, "There is no order without rules. Isn't that what you said?"
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and listened to her continue.
"Digital Phantom is no longer a makeshift team. So many people are watching... We must have rules and regulations when doing things."
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "We'll deal with it according to the specific situation."
"There is no perfect rule in the world. The fundamental way to solve problems is to deal with them based on their facts... Who let me know her?"
"Okay," Jing Yuexin nodded and sighed softly - this was not the answer she wanted to hear most.
Just then, a tall and strong man came over with a wine glass and sat down opposite them.
"Excuse me, both of you... I have some ideas on how to implement near-earth jumps. Are you interested in learning more?"
The man had an untidy beard and looked unkempt, but he was indeed very tall, over 1.8 meters.
With such a height, he would definitely stand out from the crowd in the empire.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other and smiled helplessly - the people here really dared to actively promote their products.
But this 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 - that's not how Future Star does things.
He shook his head and said calmly, "Sorry, we are not interested in new technology."
The tall and strong man became excited when he heard this. "Why can't we talk about new technology in the evening bar? There are a lot of people like this, right?"
This is indeed the case. Twilight bars not only have old technology, but also those who try their luck with new technology.
If you can buy old patents, it’s normal to invest in new technologies, right?
The man didn't finish his words, "Also, near-earth jumps are not a new technology. This conjecture has been around for many years!"
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead helplessly, "There are many people who use this guess to defraud money... Go away before I lose my temper!"
Are you kidding? If it was anything else, it would be fine, but near-earth jump... are you kidding?
"I'm definitely not a liar," the man muttered in a low voice with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and was about to get up and leave.
All of this seems like the normal reaction of someone who has hit a wall many times.
Just then, a sturdy woman came over with a large glass of wine in her hand and laughed wildly.
"Haha, Karl, are you using your clumsy tricks to cheat people out of money again?"
The man's face turned slightly red, but he was in no hurry to leave. "Wei Bo, you don't understand technology at all! I feel sorry for you!"
"But there is no doubt that I am more successful than you," the woman continued to laugh.
In the future star community where elites emerge in large numbers, such a bustling scene is rare and can only be seen in dusk bars.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin didn't say anything either, just looked at the two of them coldly.
Not far from the two of them, Jia Shuiqing and Yuanyuan were sitting opposite each other, while Hua Xiezi and Bentley were whispering.
Mu Guang was strolling around with a glass of wine.
Karl looked at Qu Jianlei again, "Sir, it will only take up a little of your time, why not give it a try?"
Mu Guang's consciousness came over, "Boss, these two people are most likely in the same group!"
Qu Jianlei also had such a guess, but he was not as sure as him.
Since that was the case, he simply sent back a message, "Then can you measure these two?"
When a gang commits a crime, there is usually other helpers behind them, even in the Future Star.
Is there no gray area in the R&D center? Impossible, so it is better to follow the clues and find out who is behind the other party.
For these gray forces to survive, they must have mastered a considerable amount of secret intelligence; without this ability, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Mu Guang knew what he meant, and replied, "It would be a bit abrupt for me to approach her, and it might alert her."
That's true. Qu Jianlei is very clear that these people who walk on the gray edge are extremely vigilant.
He glanced at Jing Yuexin, then calmly said, "Then give it a try?"
Jing Yuexin nodded casually, "Whatever you want."
"Sir," the sturdy woman interrupted, "this guy's stuff is really misleading."
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei glanced at her and didn't say much, but the look alone was full of warning.
Seeing this, the woman fell silent and silently took two steps back.
Qu Jianlei raised his chin towards the tall and strong man opposite him and said, "Then tell me your idea?"
The man looked around and said in embarrassment, "Sir, can we change to another private seat?"
Jing Yuexin raised her hand, called the bar waiter over, and asked him to arrange a private seat for her.
The waiter glanced at Karl and left calmly.
It is obvious that the waiters at the Twilight Bar are of high quality and will not talk too much.
The elegant seats here are similar to private rooms, except that they don’t have doors. But even so, it’s a lot quieter.
There is a minimum consumption limit for private rooms, which is as high as more than two thousand silver dollars.
Although Qu Jianlei was not short of this little money, a thought popped up in his mind - could it be a wine-ticket seller?
After the three of them sat down, the tall and strong man spoke up, "My lords, do you understand the principle of teleportation?"
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other and shook their heads.
They often use teleportation arrays, but teleportation and jump... are two completely different systems.
But if you don't know, you don't know. There's no need to pretend. I'd like to see what this person can say.
The tall and strong man is not surprising. Investors do not need to understand professionals, they just need to understand the wind direction and risks.
He nodded. "Then there's no need to explain the principle. This is a top secret of the empire. I'll tell you the general idea..."
He was not polite and directly stated that investors did not need to know too much.
He spoke for two minutes, using very easy-to-understand words.
Then Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin exchanged a glance and said calmly, "Continue."
The man was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully, "Was there anything I didn't explain clearly enough?"
"Is this a clear question?" Qu Jianlei rubbed his brows and spoke helplessly.
"Where's the plan, the market research report, the feasibility analysis, the risk assessment?"
"You can't just talk for two minutes and expect us to agree, right?"
"Humph," Jing Yuexin snorted, "We don't require to know the detailed principles, but the solution must be more specific, right?"
The attitudes of the two men were just short of saying that the other was getting something for nothing.
"As for the specific plan...of course we have one," the tall and strong man answered without hesitation.
"But..." He hesitated and said, "Are you two really interested?"
Well acted! Qu Jianlei is no stranger to this situation.
It's nothing more than packaging himself as a researcher who is afraid of people stealing his secrets, and keeping people in suspense step by step.
He has seen many people like this in China's best place.
There are certainly people who come looking for investment with various detailed plans, but they are the type who just tell stories, so there is no need to say more about that.
There are many people who cherish their own things, especially some solutions cannot be patented, so it is more appropriate to keep them hidden.
But now, he just smiled coldly, “Didn’t I tell you to continue?”
The man hesitated and said, "This investment may cost billions."
