Cerberus, Miranda Rosen’s ipartner (the chat record of the local dating tool like Momo we are talking about:
————————
Miranda:…
Mumu Mumu: What kind of expression is that? Does it mean you have nothing to say to me? Do you have nothing to say to your lovely, beautiful, smart, unparalleled sister?
Miranda: No, I was just wondering how long you were going to be verbose at first this time.
Mumu Mumu: Woohoo~ I was underestimated! Being hurt! In fact, I can write twice as many words. I just pressed send because my hand slipped - how about we disconnect and start again?
Miranda:…
(One minute passes
Miranda: Honey, stop typing. I have no intention of starting over.
Mumu Mumu: I hate the sister who makes fun of others! Where has the sister who always tolerated me and been considerate gone? !
Miranda: Headache. Even if you are half as obedient as Oriana, I will give you all the love in the world.
Mumu's Mumu: Then give Oriana to me for two days, so that I can learn how to become more obedient.
Miranda: Never! I'm worried about Oriana.
Mumu Mumu: Wuwuwu~ It turns out that Oriana is your biological sister. Did I give it to you by swiping my card...
Miranda: Mumu, you know, we are all laboratories...
Mumu Mumu: Sister, I didn’t mean that, you are my best and best sister! ps: But you should learn to tell which words are joking...
Miranda: Yeah. For example, what I said just now is.

After ending the chat with her sister, Miranda coughed lightly.
Even though it is a separate office. Miranda still subconsciously covered it up to make her smile less obvious. The younger sister Oriana is gentle and obedient, and the older sister Ding Mumu is a ghost. Now both sisters are her spiritual support. Seeing them doing well. Miranda will feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
She calmed down for two minutes, let the pleasure in her heart dissipate, and returned to work. As a senior agent of Cerberus, Miranda always requires herself to be in top working condition. Especially after the failure of the "Kidnapping Moon Star" mission, which also resulted in Cerberus' power in the navy being purged, Miranda's status in Cerberus was being questioned a lot.
Although the above-mentioned events are forbidden to be discussed by the leader of Cerberus, the Illusive Man. But this does not mean that the problem has been solved. Instead, the antagonism between colleagues became more serious. Cerberus hated "incompetents" and "losers," and now Miranda could feel the silent accusation when she made eye contact with her colleagues.
And the most serious thing is the loss of Cerberus' influence on Mu.
Establishing a good personal relationship with Mu Xing was originally one of Miranda's highest achievements. Now because of the kidnapping, there is no doubt. Everyone thought she would be extremely disliked by Mu Xing. But Miranda doesn't think so. She knows Mu Xing better than anyone in this space station. Mu Xing's likes and dislikes of a person all depend on the first impression, and some of her logic is consistent with Miranda's frequency. this incident. It had no impact on her relationship with Mu Xing, and she didn't even need to apologize.
Presumably when she and Mu Xing have a happy conversation again, the space station will smash all the glasses on the floor.
"Ding~" a prompt sounded suddenly. caught Miranda's attention. She saw a new chat request appearing on the iPartner chat interface that she had forgotten to close.
——————
My Black Knight: Hello.
My Black Knight: Is he there?
Miranda: Yeah.
My Black Knight: Wow~ I thought the first chat was just talking to the wall.
Miranda: Trying to generate interest? low.
My Black Knight: Keen, can I ask you about your profession?
Miranda: Secret.
My Black Knight: Haha, I get it, like a job like a Navy agent, right? cool!
Miranda: Yeah.
My Black Knight: So, is there anything you can say? Like hobbies, traveling? fitness?
Miranda: I'm not interested in you. If you want to continue, I'll need your medical report.
My Black Knight: OK, as long as it doesn't scare you.
(received document
Miranda: You did scare me—a positive fluorescent treponemal antibody uptake test? ! nausea!
[User: lb disconnected. 】(When chatting, what the other party sees is the code name, for example, Miranda’s code name is “lb”.
Miranda pushed away the keyboard angrily. Meeting such a sick man was as disgusting as seeing moldy food in the refrigerator! She thought for a while, took back the keyboard, and reluctantly began to trace the source of the information.
"Captain of the cargo ship Racer?"
Because it is a public network, it is not difficult to track the other party, allowing Miranda to easily find the other party's identity information. Miranda thought for a while and saved this record into the universal tool. An interstellar merchant cargo ship will always be useful one day. Because their whereabouts are unpredictable, they like to take risks to transport sensitive goods, are good at avoiding patrol fleets, and have various ways to sneak across the border.
Many times, this kind of spacecraft is the best choice for agents.
Because Lu Yuan had recently changed the name of the boat and re-registered it, and the name "Race Walker" was very popular. Miranda didn't realize that the driver of this ship, the person she was chatting with just now, was Mu Xing's incompetent brother.
*****
A positive fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test means - syphilis.
"Hahaha~" After being kicked, Lu Yuan, who succeeded in his prank, smiled happily and deleted the medical report. The accumulated depression was finally swept away. He closed iPartner casually, believing that the woman named "lb" would never look for him again in his life.
Lu Yuan leaned on the chair. Carefully count the things at hand - the migration of the Dawn cannot begin until at least all four tasks are completed; then there is the cooperation with Cerberus and Geth, which is a long-term process. What is needed for the time being is to establish a preliminary trust relationship; and to find beacons on Eden. This thing can only be tried by chance. No matter how good the search method is, it is not as good as burning a few "wishing spell" scrolls - but now No point redemption.
leftover. It seems that the goal is to put "Zhaomin Culture" on the market as soon as possible and then launch the military industry layout. However, without the cooperation of "My 20th Century", the market value of "Zhaomin Culture" has not reached its highest point, and its influence has not yet been fully released.
Lu Yuan slapped him, "Since I'm not depressed anymore, I'll just go and depressed others." He quickly dialed the communication number of Toman Publishing Company. "Hey Adams, how's my book going?"
"Are you okay..." After connecting to the communication, hearing Lu Yuan's inquiry, Tom Adams, the boss of Toman Publishing Company, endured it again and again, and finally said these words with a constipated expression. Sales of the book "My 20th Century" are now in their fourth week. Just barely sold one million copies...
What is the quality of the book "My 20th Century"? After collecting feedback from the market, Tom can readily give a thumbs up and say, OK! This book, which is very different from the overall style of the market, has won the favor of almost every reader. Precisely among these readers. Only those who are close to the profession can accurately state the advantages of this book. The vast majority of readers feel "unclear" after reading this. It was more about gaining a sense of tranquility that I had never experienced before.
Therefore, although this book has a good reputation, its sharing level is very low. People who have read it rarely recommend it to those around them—because this sense of reading is so personal—which also makes it difficult for the book to spread through word of mouth.
This was very different from Tom Adams' expectations, which made him miserable. Just when he was already suffering from anxiety disorder, reality gave him another heavy blow! ——It has only been a few weeks since the Skirian raid, and yet another attack on the Akuz colony has been reported!
Of rice! Can the Star Alliance be stable for two more days? ! Affected by the news, the war novels that he expected to collapse soon turned upward again, with sales hitting new highs. Sales of other types of books are bleak...
At this time, even Tom lost confidence in the sales volume of a niche book like "My 20th Century". Don’t look at the sales volume of one million copies, which may seem like a lot. Just think about the total sales volume for a population of 40 to 50 billion, and you will know what level it is. Sprinkled into the crowd, there won't even be a splash.
It is obviously a book that can be accepted by most readers, but its sales volume cannot increase... Is there any solution? have! But Toman Press can’t do it!
It's very simple, just spend money and increase sales! But Tom definitely can't do it, because what his small publishing house lacks most is money. Today, Tom spent a "big price" to take the photo, and there are only a few days left in the publication cycle. If the contract with the author is not renewed, the book will have to go back to the publishing pool and bid again. In that case, he would never get a bargain like last time.
The good thing about large companies is that although they will occasionally make mistakes, they can adjust quickly. Even if I couldn't understand the direction of the book "My 20th Century" in the past, when the market prospects have become clear and there is a high possibility of sales in exchange for investing money, it is absolutely impossible to let it go again!
Tom's only advantage so far is that he has a personal connection with the author. In order to keep this book at Toman Publishing House, he needed to have a good talk with Lu Yuan even if Lu Yuan didn't come to him.
"...Lu, when your book was abandoned by those big companies and looked down upon. Only I, Tom Adams, discovered the gem from the gravel at a glance! I bought this book with all the wealth of the publishing house. The rights to publish the book, and use all our enthusiasm to promote it! Why? I think I don’t want to see the market monopolized by big companies, and I don’t want to see benefits like this being completely buried! I want to fight them to the end...
But will those big companies and those rich people make it easy for us? No! Won't! Not only did they snipe us in the publishing industry, they also made those reviewers deliberately ignore our books, and launched an extremely vicious investigation into us for abnormal transactions! …
But will we give in? Will we surrender? ! No, we won't! No matter how many obstacles they set for us, we have nothing to fear! In order to let readers see this book, I sent letters to all end readers, and I built momentum in every forum... with the unremitting efforts of all colleagues in the publishing house. "My 20th Century" sales finally exceeded one million!
What a huge, glorious victory this is! But we will not be satisfied with the results, we will also march towards two million or ten million! "
The call between the two people has been going on for more than half an hour. Tom talked endlessly about the communication, sometimes bursting into tears, sometimes filled with indignation! He always paid attention to Lu Yuan's reaction. When he was sure that he was almost taking Lu Yuan into the ditch... ahem, and got into the mood, he finally revealed his purpose.
"...Come with me! Lu! Let us overthrow the rule of big companies, let us tell those rich people - keep your damn money! It can't buy our knees! It can't buy us either backbone!"
"Sorry, I refuse." Lu Yuan didn't want to play any more, so he refused in one breath.
Tom was speechless, and then he accused angrily, "Lu, I misjudged you! Are you really going to give in to those damn rich people?!"
"You are wrong," Lu Yuan stood up and straightened his collar, Shanshan replied politely, "I am a damn rich man!"
