Chapter 1373: Chapter 782
"Very well, I appreciate your diligence."
Just then, Li Ang heard another womanâs voice in his ear.
"No flirting with other women!"
The one speaking was Mei Zheng.
She was also providing remote intelligence support for Li Ang, but her monitor was showing a red light.
In addition to intelligence, the Rebel Armyâs support even included some manpower. Some comrades had already infiltrated nearby, ready to provide support and cover at any timeâeven though Li Ang said it wasnât necessary, Mei Zheng insisted on it.
Of course, An Xiuyi and Yunlang Group had no idea about Mei Zhengâs presence.
Nor was there any need for them to know.
Hearing Mei Zhengâs words, Li Angâs face stiffened.
He couldnât speak directly to Mei Zheng, as that would easily alert An Xiuyi. He could only compile a piece of text in his brain and sent itâ
"Which of your ears heard that as flirting?"
"I donât care, donât say anything except business!"
"What right do you have to control me?"
Mei Zheng puffed out her chest, even though Li Ang couldnât see her: "Iâm the main wife, so of course I can!"
"What nonsense! Main wife and all, did you even ask for my opinion?"
"Youâll agree eventually, whether sooner or later doesnât matter!"
The two of them, one using remote voice to send messages directly into the otherâs mind, the other replying with text messages, had a special way of communicating, but they chatted enthusiastically.
As they bantered, Li Angâs facial expressions naturally changed.
This caught An Xiuyiâs attention.
She seemed a bit puzzled: "Whatâs wrong with you?"
"Uh... nothing."
"Is it physical discomfort? If youâre not in good shape, the mission can be temporarily suspended. I donât want our mission to fail due to some unexpected circumstance. Iâd rather not proceed than alert the enemy."
"No, youâre overthinking it, letâs continue."
"Then why did you just...?"
"I have a little hiccup, okay?"
"Can you specify? I need to assess if this will affect the mission."
"No, it wonât affect anything, stop asking."
While dealing with An Xiuyi, Li Ang sent a message to Mei Zheng:
"Look at the mess youâve caused!"
...
In conversation, Li Ang had already arrived at the 29th floor of Shi Song Building.
His identity as a commercial representative of the "Obsidian Mining Company" was, of course, not real.
Thanks to Yunlang Group for helping create this fake identity.
Of course, if it were just fake credentials and experiences, it might not be enough to support Li Ang in using this identity to do some things. Fortunately, Yunlang Group had more arrangements here.
After the elevator doors opened, Li Ang walked a few steps to the entrance of the Obsidian Mining office. He said softly to the receptionist: "Iâm Chang Yu, from the companyâs headquarters, you should be able to find my appointment. I have a meeting with Director Sun in ten minutes."
"Alright, Mr. Chang, please wait a moment... I found your appointment record, please follow me, Director Sun should already be waiting for you."
Following the staff inside, in a meeting room, Li Ang met the so-called âDirector Sun.â
This was a slightly chubby, middle-aged man with a benevolent face.
Seeing Li Ang, he stood up with a big smile to greet him.
"Hello, Director Sun." Li Angâs face was also adorned with a smile.
"Mr. Chang, itâs our first meeting, I didnât expect you to be so young, quite accomplished at a young age indeed."
"Iâve heard Mr. Chang comes from a prestigious family?"
At this moment, An Xiuyi, from afar, quickly called up a lot of data, then transmitted it as images in front of Li Ang, saying, "This is information on the Chang family. Feel free to talk to him, regarding issues with your identity or with Obsidian Company, Iâll always provide the necessary materials, ensuring nothing goes wrong in your interaction with him."
Hearing the words in his ear, Li Ang felt reassured.
An Xiuyi was fairly reliable.
His expression didnât change at all, as he continued the conversation with Director Sun.
"Nothing too prestigious, but Director Sun, youâre from the Lingya Sun Family?"
"Just a branch family, just a branch," he humbly said, already grinning from ear to ear.
Then, they talked about some matters at the headquarters of Obsidian Mining Company and their business negotiation with the Divine Bird Group.
Regarding these matters, the intelligence gathering work from An Xiuyiâs side was very comprehensive, no matter what Director Sun wanted to discuss with Li Ang, An Xiuyi could always timely provide the required materials for that topic to Li Ang.
This indeed was a huge help.
"Headquarters is very focused on this business negotiation..."
"If we can raise the price by fifty cents, our performance for next year is secured!"
"... This negotiation isnât crucial for the Divine Bird Group, for a giant like them, itâs just a small deal. But for a small company like ours, itâs a big deal on the line of life and death..."
"If it wasnât so important, the company wouldnât have set up an office here in Shi Song Building just to interact with Divine Bird people..."
...
As they chatted, it was already 2:30 PM.
"Itâs almost time, should we head down? The scheduled time to start negotiations with the Divine Bird people is set for 3 PM, letâs go down early to show respect."
"Alright." Li Ang didnât want to continue the small talk; he was already impatient, though he made sure not to show it on his face.
An Xiuyi seemed to sense his mood, speaking to comfort him: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li Ang. But this is also a necessary process to gain trust."
Li Ang replied with a text message: "I know, itâs nothing."
Mei Zheng chimed in sarcastically: "Sheâs like a heartwarming cotton jacket."
Li Ang discreetly rolled his eyes, not engaging with the inexplicably jealous woman.
But the eye-roll seemed to have been misunderstood by An Xiuyi, as she chuckled behind her hand and said: "You say itâs nothing, but your expression is quite telling. Alright, Mr. Li, once everything is done, Iâll personally treat you to a meal, as a personal consolation."
"Thanks then."
"Donât go!" Mei Zheng threatened.
Li Ang completely ignored her.
A short while later, the two had arrived at Divine Bird Groupâs branch in Shi Song Building.
This was on the 20th floor.
Before entering, the two underwent strict security checks. A short while later, the two had arrived at Divine Bird Groupâs branch in Shi Song Building.
