When he walked out of the conference room, Zhou Jinru put his hands in his hair, scratched his scalp, and exhaled a thick breath.
Kelsey said nothing at the meeting. Amiya was doing almost all the work. In fact, there were very few problems she could solve. In the final analysis, there was still not enough manpower. Most of the proposals were based on those who had not yet Enter the frigate you obtained and the operators who have not yet returned to the ship.
In other words, they overdrawn part of their capacity for capacity expansion before everything even started.
"It's not the only way to save food. What if something unexpected happens midway?"
He walked out of the hotel and stood in front of the empty street, looking up at the clear sky to fully relax his sore facial muscles.
"Doctor, you are here."
Lowering her head, she happened to see Shuangye's figure. The little fox was holding her weapon and chasing after her from behind.
Speaking of which, Shuangye is also a lonely girl. She usually listens to music in the infrastructure, reads books, sweats in the training ground, and occasionally makes ice cream in a small bar. She seems to have a fulfilling life, but she has always been alone. , even with the familiar Jian Lei, the relationship between the two is inseparable.
"I'll be right here. Let's take a walk together?"
He noticed that Shuangye was holding two bottles of drinks in his hands. Through the plastic outer wall, the liquid inside was light yellow and looked quite turbid.
Shuangye handed one of the bottles to Zhou Jinru. The drink felt ice cold to the touch. It was obviously processed by Shuangye's Origin Stone technology.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. The liquid tasted strange in his mouth and the taste was not very good, but from the perspective of sparkling water, it was okay.
"This is vanilla root beer. I drank it a long time ago and it didn't taste good. But we are all young soldiers, so it's good to have a sip."
Shuangye raised the soda, and the sunlight shone through the liquid on her face. The little fox's cheeks showed a healthy blush. She sighed: "I also saw the wasteland agave in the hotel. It's a pity that we can't drink, otherwise I really want to try it.”
Zhou Jinru took another sip and asked casually: "Are you an adult?"
"...No, there is still one year left."
"Then you can't drink."
Frostleaf argued: "In Colombia, you can drink at the age of sixteen, and the pioneers didn't care if they were of drinking age."
"That won't work either. It is clearly marked in the Rhodes Island employee handbook that operators cannot drink alcohol before they are eighteen years old. If they are caught drinking without permission, their wages will be deducted. Those who instigate drinking will also have one month's bonus deducted."
"I didn't drink. Doctor, don't be so fussy about it."
Zhou Jinru smiled, drank a refreshing soda, turned around, and walked away in the humanoid path: "You are looking for me now, do you want to know news about her?"
As soon as the words came to his mouth, the little fox choked and his eyes wandered: "I don't understand what the doctor is talking about."
"Forget it if you don't understand. I don't know anything and I don't have her contact information. Don't ask me because you don't understand."
Shuangye immediately puffed up his face and said in defense: "I'll treat you to a soda!"
Zhou Jinru put on an extremely exaggerated expression and raised the half bottle of vanilla root beer in his hand: "Wow, Miss Shuangye is so generous. You want to bribe me with just one bottle of soda?"
Shuangye's expression froze, and she suddenly remembered what kind of person the doctor was in the past. Nowadays, there are still many rumors among the operators. He seems to have an ambiguous relationship with many operators.
But having come this far, she didn't want to give up at all. She mustered up the courage and asked hesitantly: "What, what do you want?"
If it's not an excessive request, it's not impossible to agree to it.
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He took out the terminal he carried in the dormitory and dialed a number. After a long time, a cold voice came from the other side: "What's the matter?"
When he heard this voice, the little fox's eyes lit up, his emotions became excited, and he could hardly suppress his smile.
Her appearance was caught by Zhou Jinru's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "It's okay, I just want to know if you have eaten and rested on time today. Don't be too tired. You need a lot of time to digest the effects of the injection, so don't waste it."
"Lusuo, goodbye!"
The call was hung up.
Zhou Jinru held the terminal in his right hand and looked at Shuang Ye with a half-smile.
"Do you want to?"
The little fox nodded as if pecking at rice.
"This is an emergency number. It cannot be used normally. It's not impossible to give it to you. You must agree to one condition."
Shuangye looked at the doctor tangledly. He finally stretched out his fangs, not knowing what he wanted.
"When necessary, I ask you to use this communication number to contact Shuangxing. You are only responsible for me. Your online contact is only me. The relevant information cannot be told to the second person besides me, including Amiya and Kai. Elsie."
Judging from the doctor's serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking, but what on earth did he want to do with such a harsh request? !
Shuangye was a little nervous, fearing that he would be involved in an ulterior conspiracy and die without a burial place.
"I need to think about it."
She swallowed.
Zhou Jinru put the terminal back into his pocket and took another sip of soda: "You can ignore me and just pretend that this matter doesn't exist."
I've heard it, can I really pretend it doesn't exist?
Shuangye's heart tightened, as if she had fallen into a trap.
"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."
How could I not be nervous!
Shuangye thought quietly, her pace gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in place.
"I would like to ask, why on earth did the doctor do this?"
Zhou Jinru also stopped and looked attentively: "I have established a friendship with her. When necessary, I will provide some help, but this help must be provided by me personally. In other words, I have to bypass Rhode Island. way."
"The fact that I can tell you this shows that I trust you."
The fact that a doctor from Rhode Island established a personal friendship with a cadre of the integration movement sounded too sensational, but Shuangye could only choose to believe that she had seen the evidence, evidence that could not be ignored.
"Doctor, I still need to think about it, and I will give you the answer when I get back to the ship."
Miss Wolper was unable to make a decision, which was expected by Zhou Jinru. Shuangye was a mature girl. She knew what she wanted, what she could do, and what she had to avoid. She instinctively felt that This is a dangerous thing.
When the two returned to the hotel, they happened to see Li standing in front of the door and looking around.
"Doctor, so you are here."
She stepped forward, said hello to Shuangye, and took the doctor away.
"What are you talking about?"
"Here, this is it."
Zhou Jinru placed the remaining sip of vanilla root beer in Li's hand.
