The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 21 Inappropriate

"Mr. Andy, are you clear now?" Jiang Hui asked. "If the additional conditions can be met, I have no problem with the rest. Please help me convey this to your group."

"Uh, oh, I understand. I have no problems on my end. I will report your needs to headquarters truthfully, and the task force will prioritize handling them for you."

Jiang Hui nodded, looking slightly tired.

Andy wasn't oblivious; he glanced at the bottom corner of the call screen and realized they'd been talking for quite a while. The other person had just left the hospital and had been disturbed by his call. And suddenly, he felt that what he'd done seemed rather unkind.

The young man immediately said that he had bothered her for a long time and that she should rest well before saying goodbye, adding that he would contact her again when there was a result.

However, Jiang Hui stopped him again. She said to the young man who was about to go into seclusion to communicate, "Mr. Andy, could you tell me if your group initially prepared a minimum compensation plan?"

Andy was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but scream inwardly, how did she know all this? Could she really possess the legendary ancient illusion technique of mind reading?

No, they had already discussed everything and had no objections, so why did he have to expose them again? This is really embarrassing for him, isn't it? And how could he possibly bring that up...?

Andy looked slightly embarrassed, but didn't seem to avoid the topic.

"So you really did have it." So you didn't know it was just a guess?!
"Could you tell me if it's convenient?" The girl, who had always seemed somewhat indifferent, now revealed a childlike curiosity.

Hey! So you can be this childlike too? How come you seemed so mature before? It's such a contradiction!
Andy wanted to deny it, even though he knew his previous behavior was tantamount to admitting it, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“There is one. But I didn’t say it, it’s really outrageous…” Andy felt like he was being controlled by a demon, or perhaps it was because he couldn’t soothe the unrest deep inside him for a long time that he jumped into this obvious pit.

His reason was frantically screaming at his ego: "Are you really crazy? How can you say such things? Is this girl really as simple as she's her age? What if the other party is recording this and intends to use it for something? What would happen if the group or the board of directors heard this—"

What can he do?! He doesn't even want to care anymore.

It's just a job with a shady conglomerate. Fine, I don't want to do it anymore! I've wanted to quit for ages!
At this moment, Andy suddenly felt a surge of pride in his own dashing demeanor and was also proud of his courage.

Heh heh, this heartless conglomerate has done so many stupid things; he's been wanting to complain about it to others for a long time.

Jiang Hui was genuinely just curious. She couldn't figure it out because she was clever or possessed anything profound, but rather because she was familiar with the clichés—the kind of tactics most commonly found in Blue Star's business world. They were so prevalent that they were everywhere in novel plots, making it easy for her to think in those directions.

So she only asked out of genuine curiosity after the conversation. Unexpectedly, the other person's face immediately turned pale, almost green.

Jiang Hui was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch his breath and almost told him not to say anything more: "Never mind, I've made things difficult for Mr. Andy. It's alright..."

"No, I was just about to tell you." The other person's expression suddenly became firm, and they immediately told her about the supposedly "outrageous" proposal. There were no other supplementary items, just a single sum of money, and this sum was almost ten times the amount she had agreed upon. It did sound quite outrageous, and no normal person would agree to it.

Is the Hailusi Group stupid, or is it simply too greedy? Even if they want to use tiered business tactics, they should come up with something more reliable and ethical, instead of messing around recklessly.

Upon hearing your first compensation offer, people will definitely be unwilling and even angry. Some might not only be angry but also unable to resist physically attacking you. If someone is injured, things won't end well—under her scheming nature, could the people at the Hailusi Group have also had such vague plans?
She vaguely remembered that the crime of intentional injury in interstellar space seemed to be quite serious, and the compensation for unprovoked injury could be so high that it could bankrupt someone.

Seeking reconciliation would turn into a mutually destructive situation, instantly turning the victim into a victim and giving the other side ammunition against them. At that point, Hailusi would be caught in the middle, putting on a good face for both sides, resolving the conflict, and even paying each other a small settlement – ​​wouldn't that be wonderful?

Jiang Hui felt inexplicably crazy; how could she have thought of such a twisted idea? But the other party's behavior forced her to overthink it. Sigh, indeed, unscrupulous merchants and shady businessmen exist in every world.

Andy originally thought that even if Jiang Hui wasn't very angry after hearing this, he would at least give a cold laugh and say something sarcastic. However, the other party listened very calmly, as if he were listening to someone else's story.

"This kid is so calm," Andy thought to himself, but his admiration for the girl only grew stronger.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang. Although I don't have the right to say this, I am, after all, someone in the know, and I came here with the intention of deceiving you. But I have no ill will towards you, please forgive me." Andy concluded with this statement.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Hui nodded and said, "Thank you for informing me, Mr. Andy." It made me realize how trashy the Hailusi conglomerate is and how low its standards are.

“I know, and I won’t reveal anything about today’s conversation. I’ll ask Mr. Andy to take care of the negotiations and just help me convey my message. We’ll discuss the rest after we get a response from the higher-ups,” she promised the young man.

"Huh? Oh, yes, I'll definitely get it through. I'm sorry to have bothered you today. Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. Well then, I won't bother you any longer." Andy paused for a moment, then a complex and slightly touched expression appeared on his face, but it quickly dissipated like smoke.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any other questions? I'll hang up now?"

"Actually, there are still some."

"?!"

"Although it may sound rude, I really think that a place like the Hailusi Group might not be a good fit for someone as talented as Mr. Andy." In fact, one might say that Mr. Andy is not suited for this line of work at all; he is too kind and innocent.

The young man was stunned. He didn't immediately show any signs of anger, discouragement, or offense; he was simply genuinely taken aback.

Jiang Hui calmly said goodbye and was about to hang up when she heard the other party suddenly say something. She couldn't help but laugh at the last moment and then disconnected the communication via her personal terminal.

"That's what I think too."
