Jiang Zhou accepted the proposal almost without hesitation.
There is nothing to say about this. He is busy now for only one thing - escaping from the prison in Tartarus.
And if the other party directly takes this as a condition, he has no reason not to agree.
Fanny's condition also caused everyone in the conference room to fall silent.
There may be some surprise, but more importantly, there is solemnity.
After all, her "sincerity" would be no different if she said it was a hostage held in her hands.
The first to break the silence was Booker:
"I remember that your company's propaganda at the time was that all captured Icarus members had been executed."
"The former person in charge had this plan at the beginning, but I stopped him. All the pictures released were technically synthesized."
Fanny answered.
"How many prisoners are there in your hands now?"
the leader of the intelligence team asked.
"I have a list here, a total of forty-two people."
While talking, everyone received a message in their communication channel.
Jiang Zhou flipped through the list impatiently, and at the end of the list, he found...
"Who is the last 'unidentified native'?"
someone asked at the conference table.
it's me……
Jiang Zhou answered silently in his heart.
"A native was also captured in Theseus's warehouse. His identity cannot be found in the database of the Nord settlement area, and the people I asked you don't know who he is."
Fanny answered, then she paused and then said:
"Of course, if you want to cross him off the list, that's no problem."
Damn it, don’t!
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhou almost didn't shout.
Booker heard this and shook his head:
"If there are innocent people involved, they should also be released together. But these are not the point. The point is..."
He said, looking across the people in the conference room. It wasn't until he confirmed that control of the venue was now in his own hands that he spoke:
"In addition to this list, we also need to know your specific plans to release the prisoners."
To this, Fanny replied as if she had been prepared for a long time:
"The plan does not depend on me, but on you... At that time, I will send a studio to the settlement area to confirm the progress of your work at all times. As long as the expected goals are achieved, I will release a group of prisoners.
"In addition, that studio will also provide you with corresponding help for this project. I said that my style of doing things is different from that of the previous manager, and I also have some sympathy for your career. If possible , I would prefer to be able to resolve the issue in a conflict-free manner.
"Of course, on the other hand, it needs to be noted that this does not mean that I am a complete pacifist. Once this cooperation is confirmed, I do not want any unpleasantness to arise. If the employees of the studio I send over, If something unexpected happens here, or if your work progress really cannot meet the company's planning requirements, then this cooperation will be terminated immediately."
At that time, Pluto Submarine Company will resume the war with Icarus.
Or, to put it more closely, the massacre of organizations by corporations will begin all over again.
Even the most radical people in the organization were able to clearly recognize the huge gap between the two sides after the "Siege of Theseus" ended.
This is not something that can be overcome by gritting your teeth and gritting your teeth with courage and will.
But now, since the other party has pointed out a path that will not violate the organizational principles and can still survive, it is self-evident what the final choice should be.
In the second half of the meeting, they had a full discussion on specific matters of cooperation.
…………
The prisoners were released according to the progress of the cooperation. As expected, Jiang Zhou's body was placed in the last batch to be released.
Purse Fanny's view is that Icarus, who is currently short of manpower, should prioritize the return of those veteran members. A native like this who was innocently involved will not be released later.
During this period, Jiang Zhou also tried to get himself among the first to be released. But they were all pushed back by the opponent's Tai Chi.
Therefore, Jiang Zhou, who was unwilling to give up, tried to start with Black Falcon-136 and Qianxia Ying, hoping to get them released in the first batch.
But this time, the other party finally had to admit it. There were a few people on the list who had procedural issues and could only be released later. Of course, she also promised that the procedure was only a matter of time. As long as Icarus could complete the work on schedule, everyone would be released safely in the end.
In other words, those who were pulled into the abyss and dark web for deep dive salvage with him would definitely have to wait until the last batch.
"..."
For a moment, Jiang Zhou didn't know what to say. After all, he had asked to go to the third deep diving chamber to save his life.
But on the other hand, if he hadn't taken such a risk and activated the Janus system to obtain Liao Qi's body. Then Icarus will inevitably lose the multi-purpose printer, and this cooperation will be out of the question.
All I can say is that things are unpredictable...
"...Then the general framework of the cooperation has been decided. I will let the comrades in the liaison office work out the remaining details."
Booker said and stood up.
“I sincerely hope that this will be a new beginning, both for our company and for the Nord settlement.”
Fanny stood up as she spoke, and the two zombie bodyguards behind her once again helped her move her chair in a uniform manner.
Her words caused a few snorts of disdain in the conference room, but no one said anything more.
After all, if you look at it without emotion, the conditions given by the other party are already very generous.
Originally, Pluto Deep Diving Company came to build a smart car factory on the ground floor of the resettlement area. If the sewage purification plant had not been demolished, it would have been a good thing that could provide a large number of jobs for the ground floor.
Even though everyone present could not accept her arrogant attitude, what she proposed was indeed a plan that could resolve the originally irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a win-win situation.
But looking at it rationally, most people still cannot emotionally accept cooperation with someone who almost killed your whole family before.
From Jiang Zhou's point of view, future cooperation between the company and the organization will definitely be difficult.
Especially after the arrival of the office sent by the other party to monitor their work progress, it is foreseeable that a lot of friction will definitely break out.
"Liao Qi, you can escort Ms. Fannie away."
After shaking hands with Fanny, Booker turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhoudao.
He asked Liao Qi to escort the other party away, and the gesture he wanted to show was also obvious - Liao Qi was the one who had the most reason to hate Pluto Deep Diving Company among everyone present.
If even Liao Qi could put aside his hatred and embrace the possibilities of the future, he would not only be able to win the trust of the company, but also suppress the dissatisfied voices within the organization as much as possible.
However, Booker was also very uneasy.
Although Liao Qi had said very clearly before that he was willing to accept the conditions proposed by the other party.
But now, will the other party continue to be willing to put aside hatred and show a cooperative attitude?
At this point, Booker himself is actually not sure.
But in order to reduce the bad blood between the two parties as much as possible, he still took the risk.
To be honest, it wasn't until he experienced so many things with that young man that he realized that he didn't understand him at all in the past.
This young man from the lower streets has ideas and potential far beyond his expectations.
Booker suppressed his nervousness and looked at Liao Qi, waiting for his answer.
Liao Qi stood up silently as he spoke and walked to Perse Fanny's side, with an expression on his face that was neither sad nor happy.
It could be seen that he was suppressing his emotions as much as possible.
Booker clenched his fists.
"Please, ma'am."
Liao Qi controlled the corners of his trembling mouth and said very politely.
Seeing this, Booker wanted to rush up and give him a big hug.
This guy is indeed a sensible person! I really didn’t see the wrong person!
