MT-035 mineral is an important component for boosters.
Detectors can only reach Mars for now; getting samples to successfully return to Earth is no easy task, and the aerospace sector is working towards this goal.
Last year, they had already finalized the blueprints for constructing detectors, lacking only materials to report for the commencement of work.
“Price is not an issue,” Jiang Fulai stood at the entrance of the milk tea shop, his eyelashes half-lowered, his eyes shrouded in shadow, his voice light: “If you can’t handle him, get someone else to do it.”
The young master Jiang was only responsible for drawing up plans and conducting research; he didn’t waste time on such trivial matters unless necessary.
If they had to rely on him for this as well, the Chen Family and the aerospace sector would probably be cursed to death by him together.
“The only one familiar with them is Beixuan. But she has been abroad recently. If necessary, I will urgently call her back.” With Jiang Fulai’s assurance, Director Chen gathered the resolve to enter the bidding.
But to negotiate a price with Wang Youfeng…
Not to mention him, even if Elder Chen and Chen Beixuan came, they might not be able to handle it.
How could you bid if you can’t even meet the person? Director Chen pondered over international connections or paying a high price on the black market for information. When you have money, you can make ghost turn the millstone, and the Jiang Family is so poor, all they have left is money.
As he was thinking, he saw Jiang Fulai pushing aside the curtain and entering the milk tea shop.
Jiang He, with an expressionless face, flipped through a dictionary and coldly stood up, carrying the large dictionary to a table in the back.
Jiang Fulai casually took the seat that he had vacated.
Director Chen’s brows throbbed fiercely.
He reflexively pressed his hand against his temple, reviewing his previous attitude towards that girl and reflecting upon it again and again.
There…there shouldn’t be any problem, right?
The ringtone of his cellphone interrupted Director Chen’s train of thought.
He walked to his car, connected to Bluetooth, and took the call; it was Chen Gang.
“Boss Chen,” Chen Gang’s voice was careful, “Do you have time in the next few days?”
Director Chen started his car, his gaze lingering on the milk tea shop, “I have several cases to attend to, you keep an eye on the situations at Backter Street in the black market for me, and contact me with any news.”
The black market was teeming with information, and Director Chen needed to enlist some more local watchdogs.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Gang quickly replied, “Yes, yes.”
“How did it go?” In a private room of Wanhe Building, Ren Qian asked anxiously about the outcome.
Both families were quite disappointed since they couldn’t assist Director Chen last time.
Chen Gang relayed Director Chen’s instructions.
After all, Backter Street was in Xiangcheng, and they must be more familiar with it than Director Chen. Ren Qian glanced at the secretary-general; almost instantly, the orders were dispatched.
They had no idea where Director Chen got his auction channel last time.
This time they couldn’t afford to let Director Chen down.
Ren Jiawei did not involve herself in these political matters, just looking outside the private room, she raised an eyebrow: “How come Dr. Gao hasn’t arrived yet? He’s half an hour late, isn’t he?”
“Researchers often face unexpected events; we need to be understanding,” Ren Qian calmly reminded Ren Jiawei, “Show some respect when he arrives; don’t use the approach you take at the company.”
Ren Jiawei leaned back in her chair, communicating tomorrow’s schedule with her assistant through her phone, nodding casually.
She then remembered something and said to Ren Wanxuan and Chen Zhu, “I’ve spent thirty million on this meal, don’t let it go to waste. You two must get Dr. Gao’s contact information.”
She had invested thirty million in Dr. Gao Jiachen’s research project, a significant sum.
Ren Wanxuan and her counterpart exchanged glances.
Chen Gang, sitting next to Ren Qian, recalled something, puzzled, “Oh, Chen Zhu mentioned the Ren Family had a relative attending the training class too. Why didn’t they come along?”
The Ren Family didn’t have anyone of the same age as Ren Wanxuan.
But the Ji Family…
Ren Jiawei sat up straight, she put her phone on the table, and, turning to look at Ren Wanxuan, asked, “Bai Lian is in the training class? Didn’t you say her grades were poor?”
Ren Wanxuan never mentioned this in the Ren Family; it was only because she wanted the book that she told the secretary-general about it.
Everyone present knew what it meant to be in the training class.
Even Ren Qian didn’t know that Bai Lian was in the training class.
He had only heard from Ren Wanxuan that Bai Lian had a score of 85 in the comprehensive science subjects.
“I only know she scored 110 this time in the comprehensive science subjects,” Ren Wanxuan said, lowering her gaze and saying nothing more.
Next to her, Chen Zhu pursed his lips with a glance at her. Bai Lian scoring 110 in science, but still being praised by the principal and gaining exceptional admission into the training class, must have had some extraordinary abilities; that’s why he mentioned it to Chen Gang when he went home.
Ren Wanxuan didn’t mention it, and neither did Chen Zhu.
Dr. Gao was connected through the Ren Family.
After all, he still stood on Ren Wanxuan’s side.
“110?” Chen Gang withdrew his gaze and didn’t ask any further.
The final day.
In the training class, the head teacher of Class Eight collected yesterday’s exercises.
He rolled up the answer sheets and then began playing today’s screen recording: “Everyone, watch an hour-long recording. I will finish marking today’s answers, add the total scores, and announce them at eight o’clock.”
Today’s screen recording completely deviated from the previous knowledge points, focusing on quantum mechanics.
“So, quantum entanglement means that a particle exists in two states at the same time. We all know about Schrödinger’s cat—placing it in this context means that before you open the lid, the cat is in both ‘alive’ and ‘dead’ states. When you open the lid, it will collapse into one of those states. If you open it to find a live cat, then in a parallel universe, the you there opens it to see a dead cat…”
Bai Lian was always very interested in this and listened attentively.
Everyone used to pay close attention to the screen recordings.
But today, as the selections were about to be announced, apart from Bai Lian and those three, everyone else was too distracted to watch.
Most people glanced at the clock every few minutes.
Zhu Jiaren was not in the mood to watch the recording.
She took her paper and pen and sat next to Ren Wanxuan. On the last day, she knew she couldn’t fit in with Bai Lian’s group, so she came to Ren Wanxuan: “Ren, can I take a look with you later?”
There were many who thought the same.
The two members who belonged to Ren Wanxuan’s group quickly objected: “Of course, we need to see it first, right?”
“Ren Wanxuan, is it okay if we queue up?” others in the training class negotiated.
Ren Wanxuan was indifferent, “Whatever, but don’t borrow it for too long. Arrange the time yourselves.”
“Ren, you’re too generous…”
Ren Wanxuan held the pen, eyes on the screen, but actually not listening at all.
Even with an uncertain answer, Zhu Jiaren was extremely excited.
The head teacher of Class Eight in the training class already had a plan in mind for the spots.
The daily scores were close, and today’s were about what he expected.
Before eight o’clock, he finished marking the papers, added the total scores, and printed the rankings.
He took the total score sheet and pushed open the door to the training class.
The sound of the door was barely noticeable, but most people noticed, and the cautious discussions came to an abrupt halt.
Eyes “swooshed” and focused on him.
The head teacher looked at Bai Lian and the other two, who were still listening attentively. He glanced at the time left on the recording—twenty minutes—and patiently found a seat to sit down, waiting for the video to end.
This act made the other students restless.
Ren Wanxuan narrowed her eyes, scanning the three including Bai Lian, her lips tightly pursed, looking extremely displeased.
“It’s not like, what are those three doing?” The people sitting nearby couldn’t wait any longer.
“They can’t get the spot anyway, so of course, they’re not in a hurry.”
Eight o’clock.
The screen recording stopped.
The head teacher of Class Eight came to the podium with a stack of papers, watched by the students with intense focus.
With one hand on his glasses and the other holding the list, he surveyed the room and then said, “Now, I will announce the total scores for the regular assessment.”
The classmates around Ren Wanxuan whispered congratulations in advance: “Wanxuan, Chen Zhu, let’s congratulate you first…”
At the same moment, the head teacher’s voice rang out: “Ning Xiao 175 points, Bai Lian 160 points, Chen Zhu 157…”
The person offering congratulations stopped in the middle of his sentence, stunned.
He looked up, staring at the podium in near disbelief.
