Chapter 893: An Important Person
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
Silicon Valley Summit commenced as scheduled. Because of the partic.i.p.ation of Future Group, the summit was added with a flavor of leading-edge technology.
Although the organizer previously considered the impact of the terrorist attack and had the thought of canceling the summit, after consultation with the parties involved, the summit filled with high expectations, commenced.
In the exhibition, Future Group reached an import and export agreement of graphene materials with 117 large and medium enterprises and established Coro island as the trading hub for global graphene materials.
In addition, Future Group acquired a pharmaceutical company in Silicon Valley for 5.1 billion US Dollars and the company would be be responsible for the sales of the Beta-4 drone in North America after restructuring with Future Medicine.
In cloud technology, Future Group also garnered great results.
A total of 171 tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, entered into a supercomputer lease agreement with Future Group, relying on quantum satellite transmission speeds to obtain information processing services provided by the Supercomputing Center on Coro Island. In terms of cost, the Coro Island Supercomputing Center was only half of the cost of the Silicon Valley Supercomputer Center.
Perhaps Future Group’s direct income was similar to the two companies, but the market prospect was substantially greater.
With the gradual increase in the popularity of the Internet, cloud technology was the trend of the future.
In the near future, there would be fewer and fewer personal servers, and even the vast majority of work would be done on the cloud. Maybe someday in the future, a CPU or even a computer won’t be needed, only a browser would be needed to enjoy high performance service.
Strictly speaking, the Phantom helmet was an application of cloud technology.
The three-day Silicon Valley Summit ended. Jiang Chen and Xia s.h.i.+yu returned to Los Santos. The trip to the UA was nearing its end. Before returning to Xin, “The Time Curtain” co-produced with Warner Bros. hit the theater and the premiere was held at the China Grand Theatre in Hollywood.
Jiang Chen originally also planned to walk the red carpet, but since Time Warner and Future Group both invested a lot of promotional resources and the premiere event was bound to be quite chaotic, for security reasons, Jiang Chen gave up on the idea. Instead, he immediately boarded a plane returning to Xin.
…
The Gulfstream aircraft took off from Los Santos International Airport. Jiang Chen looked at the city disappearing in the distance and felt relieved
The battle with the North American Freemasonry forces was not yet over, but he himself was not suitable to stay there any longer. The WASP Consortium gained the upper hand. Although the old European consortiums like the Rothschild extended a helping hand, the UA obviously would never allow these European consortiums to tap into Wall Street.
The Freemasonry forces in North America declined to the lowest in history. Unwilling to succ.u.mb behind the scenes, they already alarmed the UA.
For Jiang Chen, it was also the best time to get rid of the Freemasonry.
When he returned to Xin, the European mission would begin.
Sitting opposite of Jiang Chen, Xia s.h.i.+yu looked at Jiang Chen, who was immersed in thought, and showed confusion for the fourth time in her eyes.
When the emba.s.sy was captured by terrorists, she thought she was dead. However, when she saw Jiang Chen wearing a power armor come alone to save her, she only felt the softness in her heart that had been buried for a long time once again be touched.
Perhaps the love for romance was the nature of every woman, or maybe it was just because work occupied her heart for too long. Recalling that night, when she expressed herself after being drunk, her face began to blush.
Only if she could maintain that state forever…
Confusion gradually faded from her eyes, Xia s.h.i.+yu suddenly woke up and shook her head repeatedly to drive the unhealthy thought out of her mind.
[No, he already has a girlfriend…]
If she was to become a mistress, disregarding that she won’t be able to accept the fact herself, her parents certainly won’t accept this.
[What’s more, he has been avoiding…]
When she thought about this, her heart could not help but feel sour. Although Jiang Chen did not do anything or say anything, the sensitivity of the woman made her feel faintly aware that he had been avoiding her feelings. She had noticed this when they were in w.a.n.ghai.
With a bizarre expression, Jiang Chen saw her blus.h.i.+ng, shaking her head, and then feeling conflicted. He didn’t know what kind of thoughts were in her mind.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chen asked in a concerned voice.
“Do you feel okay?”
Jiang Chen’s sudden words made Xia s.h.i.+yu, who was in the middle of a bewildered thought, jump up. She wanted to say something but nothing came out of her mouth.
Jiang Chen became more and more convinced that his guess was correct, then he stood up.
“I’ll help you get some motion sickness pills.”
However, as he was prepared to leave the seat, Xia s.h.i.+yu grabbed his cuffs and responded to Jiang Chen’s caring gaze with, “I’m fine.”
Jiang Chen said, “Are you really okay? You don’t look so okay.”
Xia s.h.i.+yu gently bit her lower lip, after indulging in a long silence, she whispered out the words that did not coincide with the situation.
“…Why did you come to save me?”
Jiang Chen paused for a second, then laughed.
“Do you need a reason?”
“But they were targeting you! If…”
Jiang Chen interrupted Xia s.h.i.+yu’s slightly emotional words.
“No one can act with indifference when an important person to them is in danger. I just did what I wanted to do.”
Xia s.h.i.+yu could no longer distinguish the latter part of the sentence.
At this moment, her head was buzzing.
This feeling was like her heart and soul being immersed in sweet honey, and her long-buried feelings finally received a response.
[Important person…]
…
After getting off the plane, Ayesha rushed into Jiang Chen’s arms and only let go of him after a long time. The two sapphire eyes that could speak were filled with worry and longing.
Jiang Chen rubbed her soft chestnut hair and kissed her on her forehead.
“Sorry to have worried you.”
Xia s.h.i.+yu’s had a complicated look on her face.
When Jiang Chen kissed Ayesha forehead, that nasty feeling was back.
In order to make herself feel better, she quietly looked way.
What she did not notice, however, was that her little trick had already been spotted by a little girl.
The sapphire-like eyes moved back and forth several times between Jiang Chen and Xia s.h.i.+yu. A sweet smile suddenly appeared on Ayesha’s face.
Xia s.h.i.+yu, who sensed Ayesha’s gaze, subconsciously looked to her. However, for some strange reasons, the curvature of her lips made her heart beat faster. It was like a child who did something wrong was discovered by an adult.
Their eyes only met for less than one second before her eyes fled and looked toward Jiang Chen, who was shaking hands with President Zhang.
It took her a while before she hid away the unnatural emotions in her.
Based on Jiang Chen’s request, the Xin government did not make a grand appearance, but President Zhang Yaping personally came to the airport. It was not only Zhang Yaping who came to the airport, but also other political leaders of Xin and members of the Liberal Party. It took a while just to shake hands with everyone.
When Jiang Chen was busy interacting, Ayesha quietly walked to Xia s.h.i.+yu and whispered in her ear.
“Can you come with me?”
