132: Special Reward: Zhang Yu's Ambition
"If they really won't approve it, then just quit. You probably won't be able to fly later anyway. Your health comes first," Su Mei said.
"But how am I supposed to tell everyone? Especially the sister I share the apartment with, and my family," Lu Hanxiao sighed, feeling truly at a loss.
"Sigh," Su Mei sighed. "Who told you to be so careless?"
Lu Hanxiao had always been a rational and calm person. Yet in front of Zhang Yu, she had thrown away all her defenses, and even...
"Oh, stop it, Su Mei. I didn't expect things to turn out like this either," Lu Hanxiao replied, then said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"What's wrong?"
"Zhang Yu is calling me."
"Hey, you..." Su Mei was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Zhang Yu, why are you calling at this time?" Lu Hanxiao asked.
"Nothing much, just asking, where are you all now?" Zhang Yu asked, sitting in the master bedroom on the second floor.
"We've arrived in Ha City and are resting at the hotel," Lu Hanxiao said. A warm current surged in her heart.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now, just a few simple words from Zhang Yu made her unable to help herself; she felt an urge to act coquettishly. Was it the effect of estrogen? Fortunately, she managed to hold it back.
"Oh, then get some good rest," Zhang Yu said.
"Hey, wait," Lu Hanxiao quickly called out.
"What is it?" Zhang Yu asked.
Her words reached the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back down.
"It's nothing, just that Di Xiaoba is feeling a bit unwell."
"Is she not acclimated to the environment, or what?" Zhang Yu asked. "If it's really bad, just take some leave."
"It should be fine. If she gets some good rest, she should be better," Lu Hanxiao shook her head. "You should get some rest early too, I'm going to wash up." Then, she hung up the phone.
She felt that if she chatted for a few more sentences, she might end up spilling the whole story. It was better to hang up the phone quickly first.
Over at Binjiang Mansion, after Zhang Yu hung up the phone, he was lost in thought. Then, he made another call.
"Hello, President Zhang!" The person on the other end answered quickly, speaking in a respectful tone.
"When is the next flight for Lu Hanxiao's team?"
"Replying to President Zhang, it's tomorrow morning."
"Do this: contact the people in Ha City," Zhang Yu said. "Adjust the time to the afternoon."
This way, they could rest for another half day and wouldn't have to rush around so exhaustively. If they followed the original schedule, they would be flying in the air constantly except when sleeping, making it impossible to get any proper rest.
"Understood, I will handle it immediately!" The other party was absolutely obedient to Zhang Yu's orders.
After hanging up, Zhang Yu's door was knocked on.
"Landlord, I stewed some snow pear and white fungus soup. Would you like to have a bowl?" Xiong Tingting's voice came from the doorway.
"Sure, bring it in." Zhang Yu hadn't originally wanted to drink any. However, since she had already brought it up and was standing at the door, providing such thoughtful service, not drinking it would seem a bit of a mood-killer.
Sigh, I really am so considerate.
The door pushed open, and Xiong Tingting walked in, carrying a tray with a steaming bowl of dessert. She placed the white fungus soup on Zhang Yu's nightstand.
"Landlord, you drink first, I'm going downstairs to work." Xiong Tingting bowed slightly.
Zhang Yu looked at her and couldn't help but smile. He hadn't seen her for a day, and she looked even more attractive. Her hair was slightly messy, resting against her ears. Wearing a pink and white apron, she was truly a beautiful cook.
"Did you come up just to deliver the white fungus soup?"
"Yes," Xiong Tingting's voice was a bit small. The next second, Zhang Yu grabbed her hand.
"You've done such a good job, how should I reward you?"
"Landlord, you haven't even collected my rent; I already feel like I haven't done enough."
"Then you should know..." Zhang Yu said, to which Xiong Tingting struggled symbolically. "The stove in the kitchen is still on."
"That's not an issue." Zhang Yu pressed a button on the headboard. "There, the kitchen stove is now off."
Then, the white fungus soup that had just been placed on the table suddenly tumbled to the floor, spilling everywhere...
Several hours later, it was already late at night. Xiong Tingting cleaned up the spilled white fungus soup and everything else on the floor before going downstairs. Fortunately, the marble floor was relatively easy to clean.
Zhang Yu checked the time. Without realizing it, it was already 12 o'clock. He pulled out a few tissues, wiped away his sweat, and then silently thought to himself.
"System, I want to draw today's Blind Box."
"Preparing the Blind Box for the host immediately!" The system woke up quickly.
Then, several Blind Box images appeared before his eyes. Zhang Yu chose the corresponding Blind Box based on today's date. After the box shook a few times, it slowly opened.
"Wait, gold?" Zhang Yu noticed that this Blind Box was actually emitting a golden light. Isn't that a special effect only for the Special Edition Blind Box?
He looked at the system interface again and realized. It turned out that, without him noticing, Xiong Tingting's star rating had already reached full stars. Therefore, this reward had stacked a BUFF, becoming a Special Edition Blind Box.
Zhang Yu had originally thought today would just be an ordinary Blind Box. Now, he sat up immediately, his expression becoming serious.
"Congratulations to the host for drawing the Special Edition Blind Box—[A Large Private Military Industrial Group]!"
A military industrial group? Goodness. Zhang Yu was shocked.
"This private military industrial group is named Tongli Military Industry." "It produces various advanced equipment such as drones, bionic technology, exoskeletons, and artificial intelligence devices. It has widespread applications in multiple fields."
"Its orders are sold to multiple countries and regions, and it also holds a significant share in the Dragon Kingdom."
Moreover, Zhang Yu looked at the group's revenue. It was in the hundreds of billions annually. However, due to the special nature of the group, it was not listed on the stock market and did not participate in any Fortune 500 rankings. Therefore, not many people outside the industry knew about this group. It was a classic example of making a fortune quietly.
Obtaining such a group made Zhang Yu realize that this was not just about making money; it also meant having deeper connections with higher-level departments.
Along with the system's introduction panel, there was a long list of clients. It turned out that even the Jiangcheng Preparedness Zone, led by Wu Zhengliang, purchased many of its devices from his own company. Goodness. Zhang Yu claimed the reward very quickly.
In his personal center, there was another new super company. Now, he almost had no shortcomings in any aspect. Who would have thought he would have a day like this? Full-star rewards are truly powerful.
"I wonder when I'll be able to get an overseas company!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but yearn in his heart.
"I think that technology company of Musk's is pretty good."
