Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 675 - 9: Fraud Training_2
...
Zhou Bai did not disappoint the agent’s expectations; it’s been almost half an hour, and he still hasn’t come out of the flagship store.
Actually, if it weren’t for considering that President Xiao Zhou was inside, it would seem too deliberate for him to go in again. The agent himself would also like to rush into the flagship store and ask:
When exactly will Hanqi Intelligence’s home products be in stock!?!
All he wanted was a Cleaning Circle, but he’s been waiting for a month after paying and reserving—it’s too much!
But on Xianyu, scalpers have raised the price to ten times, so he can only wait, unwilling to spend extravagantly.
Now, looking at the large storefront of the flagship store and the sparse interior, he could only curse under his breath.
...
Zhou Bai came with Chu River.
However, Chu River was dressed so low-key, without any makeup, looking more relaxed than Zhou Bai, with two equally low-key men accompanying her. No one would think she was Zhou Bai’s girlfriend.
As it stands, she had a bag of cream puffs hanging from her wrist, holding a cup of cold milk tea with golden pearls slipping through the straw, she casually nodded:
"Not bad, not bad."
She was truly the epitome of tranquility.
The two bodyguards next to her needed to be mobile at all times, so they didn’t carry any additional snacks; everything was stacked on Zhou Bai.
...
——Not bad at all! Zhou Bai widened his eyes at her, his expression full of accusation: "Don’t you have any thoughts?"
Chu River looked at him, too: "What thoughts should I have?"
"Oh, these cream puffs are quite good."
President Xiao Zhou gritted his teeth—currently, he had to plan even for car fuel and maintenance, but he spent a large sum on snacks today just to bring this benefactor to see their deserted flagship store!
This is such a big store!
In the CBD center!
Yet not a single customer!!!
Is this reasonable?
"After all, you’re part of this business now! Don’t you worry about not having enough money if business isn’t good?"
Business is indeed good; every day, a flood of people rush to pre-order and pay, but...
The production capacity is insufficient, the production capacity is really insufficient!
Chu River honestly wasn’t worried.
"I’m currently supported by the state, I just need to say whatever I need, how could money not be enough?"
Not to mention the research, the money she previously invested in modifying Little Huang was reimbursed by the state since the appearance of the National Day Mecha.
Besides...
In this era, playing with cars and watches, she’s not interested. Where else could she possibly spend money besides some snacks?
Her monthly salary isn’t low.
Zhou Bai: ...
Sometimes, he just resents why such a benefactor is so desireless?
He wasn’t willing to give up: "I’m telling you, burying yourself in research isn’t going to work. People, a balance of work and play sparks inspiration."
"How about this, on my 18th birthday, I got a sports car from Old Zhou, would you like to drive it?"
"Or do you like collectibles? We can go to Akihabara, and I’ll buy them for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards beside him looked at him seriously.
"Mr. Zhou, please be mindful of your words."
"Firstly, Mr. Chu’s identity is of immense importance, a treasure to all humanity; he cannot just drive around casually for the sake of safety, it’s best that we make all arrangements."
"Even if he wanted to drive, the vehicle needs comprehensive checks from our side."
"Additionally, Akihabara isn’t within Zheng Country; according to confidentiality rules, while there’s no stringent restriction, for safety’s sake, it’s advised for Mr. Chu to focus domestically for now."
After speaking, afraid their words were too harsh and unpleasant, they hastily added with a smile.
"After all, Fusang has been dumping nuclear waste recently, what if you eat a two-headed fish when you’re out?"
Zhou Bai: ...
They’ve said all the good and bad things, with such an identity, what’s he supposed to do?
(*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
...
At that moment, Chu River curiously asked: "Fusang is still dumping nuclear waste? I remember Chang Geng had a nuclear radiation—"
"Ahem!"
A bodyguard quickly interrupted him: "Sorry, Mr. Chu, some things are beyond our current level of clearance."
Chu River nodded, feeling somewhat troubled—could it be that Chang Geng hadn’t clarified the specific ability to everyone?
Haven’t they made it, should use it quickly, the ocean can’t be enclosed with fences, why should their stuff be polluted by others?
Seeing the conversation edge closer to serious and dangerous territory, Zhou Bai feared that the time spent outside would lead them back to research mode.
He could only continue playing the sympathy card:
"Don’t you think it’s a bit embarrassing to have such a good brand, such prominence, yet not a single person in the store?"
