Chapter 260: Escaping the Cage
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Xiangjiang, the Peninsula.
In the elegantly designed grand hall, a young man sat at the corner with a foreign girl. They appreciated the gracefulness of the sunshine while quietly enjoying the afternoon.
The musicians played a melodious, but slow classical music. The server in British-style uniform courteously walked beside the two and put the three-story silver tray filled with desserts on the table, and then poured black tea for them.
To be honest, the British dessert didn’t taste great. The taste of the chocolate ball and the cream puff didn’t differ much with the ones sold at the bakery. The only thing unique about the afternoon tea here was the exquisite atmosphere and rich history.
The hotel started construction in 1922 before completed in 1926 and opened in 1928. It is one of the most renowned and luxurious hotels in Xiangjiang and the world.
Of course, Jiang Chen couldn’t taste the atmosphere and the history. The only reason he was here was due to curiosity. Ayesha also was uninterested in those things as she was intrigued by the soft pudding on her plate.
Her slightly curled brown hair gently rested on her right shoulder. Her cute mouth and smooth skin bloomed into a beautiful image under the mild sunshine.
Jiang Chen could clearly sense that a lot of men were looking enviously at him. But he didn’t mind at all as he just sluggishly looked onto the street outside of the window while enjoying the tranquil and warm rays.
As to why he would appear 800 kilometers away, it started two days ago.
Jiang Chen who wiped out an entire force of CIB and engaged in a small conflict with the General Staff Department didn’t return to Hucheng. Instead, he drove all the way to Fujian.
On the car, Jiang Chen told Xia Shiyu about the incident from start to finish, including the meeting with Wang Linhua that night and then the specifics of the agreement with Zhongxin High Tech.
In the morning, he called his parents and told them that he had to return to Wanghai City because of a temporary business emergency and not to worry before he turned off his phone.
With Robert’s connection and Mr. Chen’s help, Jiang Chen boarded a luxury cruise as a tourist between Xiangjiang and Egret Island before walking off on Xiangjiang.
Xia Shiyu stayed on Egret Island for one day before she boarded a flight from there to Wanghai City.
When she got on the plane, the General Staff Department naturally contacted Xia Shiyu inquiring about Jiang Chen’s current location.
As part of Jiang Chen’s plan, Xia Shiyu transferred over the USB loaded with smart drone system 1.0, at the same time restating Jiang Chen’s original words. Jiang Chen’s wording was reserved, but if it were expressed in monotone, it would definitely sound harsh.
”I’m extremely displeased with what occurred in Hucheng. I’m not your subordinate, I did my obligation by paying my tax, and even if I obliged to my duty, you asked to me think of the bigger picture. This is funny, so I left.”
”Even if I have left, this doesn’t mean that I abandoned the Han market, and it doesn’t mean that my overseas team abandoned the Han market. Except that because of the deterioration in the investment environment, we are forced to reevaluate the focus of our business. Future Technology will become a subsidiary and controlled by the newly formed Future International.”
”Of course, regarding the agreement on the smart drone system 1.0, our party has already completed its development. I sincerely hope that your party can honor the agreement and provide the advantageous policy to Future Technology.”
”Yes, Future Technology has nearly three hundred million domestic users. But don’t forget, we also have over four hundred million international users, as well as one billion in the undeveloped market.”
”We don’t just have one choice-”
General Liu was silent for a long time when he heard Jiang Chen’s response, he didn’t say anything at the other end and just sent people to protect Xia Shiyu before he reported Jiang Chen’s response to the top.
As to how to treat Future Technology, the top discussed and weighed the pros and cons before making the decision to maintain friendly relationships and canceling Jiang Chen’s restriction to leave the country… although he left the border already.
A technical team capable of producing military technology meant that it indeed possessed the value to establish a friendly relationship. Jiang Chen really didn’t develop the software during this time, and from the time it would take to complete the development, the actual developer was indeed not Jiang Chen. The stipulation of Jiang Chen being the developer was indeed false.
From that perspective, it was pointless if they controlled Jiang Chen.
