Chapter 37 Twenty-Four Hours

The next day, Jiang Hui woke up very early. She had finally gotten a normal night's sleep, temporarily relieving her insomnia, and she had also finally verified one thing: that space—

That strange space is not indefinite; each time you only need to stay there for twenty-four hours, you can return to the real interstellar world.

How did she know? Because last night, Jiang Hui spent twenty-four hours in the space to verify this conjecture, without sleeping for a single hour, and then woke up in her bedroom in the interstellar space.

Moreover, she realized that not much time had passed between when she woke up and when she fell asleep... What does this mean? After all, it takes time for her to fall asleep.

In other words, the time Jiang Hui spent in that space is very likely not reflected in reality. That is to say, the time in that "dream" space does not interfere with or overlap with the flow of time in the real interstellar space. In other words, you can come out whenever you go in.

That is most likely a completely still space.

Since arriving in interstellar space, Jiang Hui has entered that strange space almost daily, always returning only after a roughly fixed amount of time. Therefore, it's possible to infer that her cycle of entering this space is also twenty-four hours.

She spent twenty-four hours in the real world, and another twenty-four hours before entering that fantastical dream… Good heavens, even animals don't live like this! Even though she hasn't fully realized what kind of strange thing she's gotten herself into, her instincts are already screaming at her, telling her how dire her future awaits her—

However, this question still needs to be answered and verified.

Jiang Hui's priority now is to focus on today's negotiations; she hasn't forgotten that she has an appointment with her lawyer to go to the Hailusi Group today.

The girl lifted the covers, changed into the casual clothes she had prepared the day before, tidied herself up a bit, and then slipped on her shoes and went outside to the living room.

Because she had resisted the urge to sleep while inside the space, Jiang Hui naturally fell asleep as soon as she came out. She slept soundly through the night without any dreams. Therefore, even though she woke up a little early today, she still seemed to be in good spirits.

Today is her first time traveling alone in the interstellar world.

Although he appeared completely at ease, he couldn't help but feel a little excited inside.

Even after boarding the maglev train, Jiang Hui could hardly contain her slight excitement.

The maglev train she was riding this time was yet another mode of transportation she had never used before. It was trackless and did not travel close to the ground, but rather moved through stations according to some kind of magnetic field, meaning it did not operate on a fixed track.

However, this mode of transportation does run smoothly. Moreover, since she lives in the central area of ​​the Fourth Ring Road, taking this type of trolleybus to reach the city center's First Ring Road is much more convenient and faster than taking city buses.

The only drawback is that this mode of transportation is expensive, costing three to four times more than city buses. Unless there's a specific need, most people don't prefer to use it.

Jiang Hui didn't care, because according to regulations, Hailusi Group was also required to reimburse her travel expenses and meal allowance for this trip.

The other party had offered to send a flying car to pick her up, but Jiang Hui declined. She also had an appointment with lawyer Ms. Jian near the Hailusi Group. The Hailusi Group headquarters is located in the first ring of the planet's continent, the most central urban area. This area is home to all the planet's well-known conglomerates and companies, and is the most extravagant and decadent place on the entire continent, where almost all the wealthy people congregate. This demonstrates that this planet is a highly concentrated economic region.

Jiang Hui had already browsed through a lot of information about the amazing cityscapes and astronomical phenomena in interstellar space on his personal computer. From initial shock to gradual acceptance, and even now, he still marvels at the sights before him. This is humanity's instinctive appreciation for magnificent landscapes.

After passing through a cluster of skyscrapers, each with hundreds of floors, and over a variety of strange buildings, Jiang Hui finally found the teahouse where he was to meet Ms. Jian, following the navigation.

This is a detached villa with only four or five stories, surrounded by a small garden with lush vegetation, which makes it stand out from the surrounding high-rise buildings.

Oh, I can tell the boss is loaded. After all, land resources are incredibly valuable in interstellar space. To build low-rise villas instead of skyscrapers in such a prime location, and even those villas that are less than a fraction of the number of high-rise buildings, requires a certain amount of financial audacity.

Putting aside other things, the Rococo style of this place, which is extremely similar to Earth, is quite well imitated, even more authentic than the fake European town that Jiang Hui visited on Earth.

The girl stepped into the courtyard, pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered the tea room. As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of wind chimes and felt a slight chill in the air. Her gaze naturally turned to the main hall.

The tea room was divided into individual booths, and the decorations, lighting, and accessories all had a distinctly old-fashioned style, making it a favorite spot for those interested in ancient culture. However, Jiang Hui didn't have time to appreciate it properly at the moment; she was eager to find Ms. Jian, whom she had arranged to meet.

Fortunately, Ms. Jian wasn't face-blind like Jiang Hui; she noticed her immediately and waved to the girl.

Having walked around several times without noticing her, Jiang Hui approached her, feeling quite embarrassed, and said, "Ms. Jian, hello, I'm Jiang Hui. I'm sorry, you must have been waiting for a long time."

"No, I just arrived too. May I ask if you are Ms. Jiang Hui?" The other person was clearly a very friendly young woman with brown hair and brown eyes, showing obvious Oberon features, but her facial features also had a certain Eastern softness, with a classical beauty. Her overall temperament was very approachable and made people feel comfortable.

Jiang Hui had a very good impression of her, even better than when she saw her in the photos.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two hurriedly discussed their meeting with the Hailusi Group, which was scheduled for the previous day. They briefly covered the details of the meeting, and although they had already discussed most of it during yesterday's meeting, they clearly needed to double-check everything today.

The other party reiterated their deep sympathy for Jiang Hui's plight and condemned the irresponsible nature of the Hailusi Group, promising to handle the matter properly for her.

The two quickly reached an agreement, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Seeing that it was almost time, the two paid the bill and walked directly to the nearby headquarters of the Hailusi Group to keep their appointment.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Hui felt calmer than ever before.
