Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 50: He Appeared Once Again

This is also the suggestion Liang Xin wrote in his report.

The so-called "Special Relations Department" actually handles the relationship with Shen Shi.

Between collectives, interest relations are bound to be the most important.

However, at this moment, they are facing an individual.

As for the interstellar forces behind Shen Shi... they aren’t qualified to delve deeply, and even if they were, the only connection point is still Shen Shi.

So everything comes back to Shen Shi.

Bringing together such enormous human and material resources to carefully handle the relationship with a human is almost unprecedented outside of feudal society.

Yet, they only worry they haven’t done enough!

"Liang Xin’s suggestion, I think we can give it a try," Tao De spoke at this moment, "Don’t forget, now the Western Alliance, Nia, and even every country in the world aware of this matter are all closely watching Mr. Shen. If humanity can’t make it through the war in three years, so be it; we’ll all be finished together. But if we do make it through, competition will still be inevitable!"

Tao De took a sip of water, allowing the rest to digest his words.

Although the alien invasion is a global disaster,

Humanity, on a large scale, should unite and must unite.

But competition is also an indispensable force for development.

Moreover, they now know extremely little about the alien invasion.

What technologies does the enemy have? What kind of preparations should be made?

Rather than discussing these broadly, it’s better to find a way to get more information from Shen Shi, or to know earlier what Shen Shi’s "loan" can obtain.

This was originally the work of their new department.

"Therefore, we must emphasize our greatest advantage at present! That is, he is from the Eastern Country; he is in the country!"

After Tao De finished speaking, the landline phone on the table suddenly lit up.

Yes, a landline phone.

This is a highly confidential conference room, and only specially encrypted messages can come in during meetings.

Tao De just glanced at it and immediately stood up.

"You all discuss, study the future direction of work. Liang Xin, come with me."

"Yes." Liang Xin vaguely realized something, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, he nodded gently.

Upon leaving the conference room, Tao De lowered his voice directly and said, "He has appeared again!"

"As expected!" Liang Xin had already guessed the answer. He adjusted his glasses, "Do we need to make contact?"

At such an important conference, Tao De pulling him out must be because of this!

"I want to make some attempts, but we can’t force it. You are the expert on this; grasp the situation. If you feel the timing is wrong, don’t take risks." Tao De said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Liang Xin nodded heavily, "Then let’s go!"

...

As night fell, dazzling neon lights lit up the street.

Shen Shi, who left the music academy, was sitting in the passenger seat of his newly bought luxury car, still driven by his secretary.

As for why he wasn’t sitting in the back seat.

Of course, it’s because there were two girls sitting in the back seat.

Yes, two.

One was Ai Xin’Er, and the other was Ai Xin’Er’s true best friend, named Qin Lan, also a stunningly beautiful goddess-level figure, the kind that would definitely make someone take out their phone for a picture when she appeared on the street.

But clearly, if Qin Lan stood alone, she would make people feel that she was "beautiful to the peak". However, sitting next to Ai Xin’Er, the gap was obvious.

That delicate oval face was indeed delicate, but in this era filled with internet celebrities, the homogeneity was too severe, and her figure was a complete loss in comparison, with an "airfield" that couldn’t compete at all.

So Shen Shi was quite curious about why she became Ai Xin’Er’s true best friend.

Normally, the prettier a girl is, the less she likes to be around girls who are better looking than herself.

If you can be a flower, who would want to be a leaf.

"Shen Shi, where do you plan to take us for dinner?" Ai Xin’Er’s voice interrupted Shen Shi’s train of thought.

"Let me think."

Before Shen Shi’s eyes was a screen only he could see, with a scene of Tao De’s location prominently displayed on it, "How about going for some crab pot?"

Yes, he had made some arrangements regarding Tao De and the others.

Just for safety’s sake.

"Hey, hey." Before Ai Xin’Er could speak, Qin Lan couldn’t help but interject, "You’re driving such a luxury car, and you’re inviting our Sister Xin’Er to eat crab pot? Don’t you know Sister Xin’Er dislikes greasy food?"

Hmm, the hostility was already very evident.

Although he didn’t know the reason, what level is Shen Shi now?

Facing representatives from various countries, among the elites of humanity, he could control the entire scene.

Such "friendship tests" he didn’t care about at all.

At the moment, he just leisurely said, "Xin’Er, haven’t you told her your tastes?"

"Nope." Ai Xin’Er also had a hint of helplessness, then explained to Qin Lan, "It’s not that I dislike it, I just can’t have too much, and I can’t make you eat it either. Even the best skin needs careful maintenance. If I get a pimple on my face while singing, it would trouble you."

Qin Lan, a junior in the music department, was already quite famous, often receiving concert invitations.

But this future superstar was utterly baffled at the moment.

She had known Ai Xin’Er since the freshmen year and spent all her available time together, yet she didn’t even know what Sister Xin’Er liked to eat?

"The first time we had a meal together was crab pot, right?" Shen Shi smiled, "I really miss it."

"Yes." Ai Xin’Er also recalled with a nostalgic expression, "I was sweating all over, and got a scolding from my mom after going back, but the taste was really good."

"Then let’s go there; I know a pretty good crab pot restaurant, went there many times in college." Shen Shi paused and still explained, "There might be two people coming to see me later. If we find a private room in a restaurant, they may not intrude."

"Then... won’t we be disturbing you?"

"No worries." Shen Shi smiled mysteriously, "You’re here; they’d feel more at ease."

"Then I’m going to have a great feast tonight." Although Ai Xin’Er didn’t quite understand, she didn’t continue questioning and just licked her lips with a look of anticipation.

"..."

Qin Lan sat in the back, wanting to speak up multiple times, but between these two people, there was seemingly no place for her to interject.

Her expression turned sour.

Moreover, what Qin Lan didn’t know was that Ai Xin’Er was secretly chatting with Shen Shi on her phone right now.

"You really have a strong charm." Shen Shi sent a teasing emoji, "If I were your boyfriend, would I have to face female rivals?"

"Stop it." Ai Xin’Er replied with a helpless emoji, "Qin Lan is just worried I’d get hurt. For certain reasons, she’s a bit averse to wealthy men."

"Got it." Shen Shi understood immediately, "Then you don’t have to worry about it."

"???" Ai Xin’Er sent three question marks and added, "Don’t do anything reckless, she’s one of my few true best friends!"

"Don’t worry, I don’t plan to do anything." Shen Shi focused ahead, typing with one hand, "She will naturally understand that having money and controlling money are two completely different concepts."
