Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 226 225. I really don’t want to think about things that are too complicated
A few minutes later, Seifer was sitting in the truck bed, and Feldrich, who was being protected, was also sitting in the truck bed.

The one driving the tracked tricycle is Shengnai. Why she appeared in Node City and how she brought this small car here are all mysteries.

According to Shengnai, she woke up from a nap and felt that she couldn't waste time, so she walked here slowly by herself - wearing protective clothing.

Considering that the car was parked not far from the node city, so that he could escape immediately if anything happened, Sefer had no choice but to nod.

She also checked on Feldridge, saying she was slightly dehydrated and needed to take care of herself, at which point Feldridge let out a "Hmph!"

It's rare that he attracts so much hatred without even opening his mouth.

Riding slowly on his bike towards the newly built upper central conference room of Node City, which was guarded by a large number of corporate mercenaries, Feldrich kept his head down, as if thinking about something in his mind.

Seifer knew nothing about this and wasn't very interested. He was seriously considering whether to pay back the money or buy new equipment, and he had already arrived outside the venue while trying to decide between the two.

Shengnai was about to leave, but before she could leave, Seifer held down the small helmet and said, "Wait a minute. If you leave now, are you going to the medical station to volunteer as a doctor again?"

"Well, theoretically, yes, since I don't have anything else to do. And Red Crossbow Arrow isn't hurt, right?"

In front of outsiders, Shengnai hid his usual name well.

"Then why not just stay here at the conference hall? After all, when it comes to negotiations, the people who come here aren't seasoned mercenaries. Someone who's weak and sickly might die from acclimatization."

Seifer's suggestion was not wrong. After thinking for a moment, Shengnai found a chair and sat down lightly... Maybe it was unintentional or coincidental, but the angle she chose was right between some cabinets and sundries. At first glance, it was impossible to notice that there was a person sitting there.

The venue was quite large. A gray-white tablecloth covered the long round table. Under the hollow table in the middle, an unknown machine was emitting a low roar.

There was sufficient lighting overhead. If it weren't for the mottled marks on the surrounding walls, Seifer would have thought he was back when he stepped on the carpet.

This solemn feeling, this air of being surrounded by fire, this atmosphere of everyone sweating profusely, preparing materials and convincing others with their mouths and blueprints...

It was so much like the year-end meeting when asking investment companies for money and materials. Seifer still remembers how he was put down in just a few words and how he was asked tricky questions until he was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, at this time, my body is already a mechanical one, and there will be no physiological changes due to changes in thoughts. This is very convenient.

At this time, Feldrich was already sitting in a large chair. After scolding the surviving guys in the first round of escort troops, he was planning his next step.

During this process, she suddenly saw Seifer chatting with Shengnai, and she couldn't help but frown. The moment the clerk on the other end of the communication line responded in fear, she started another round of verbal bombardment.

After all, she was just captured, not dead.

If an important figure of a large company is captured, at most it will lose a few people and some market share. It would be a big mistake to say that it will cause serious damage.

When she had almost finished bombarding, the clerks rushed in and handed the simplified information to Feldridge. Seeing her unfriendly look, they quickly ran away.

Other companies were also gradually bringing their information to the negotiation hall. Sefer observed that everyone was sitting in the four corners in a tacit understanding, not intending to get too close.

Not only are there people who come to negotiate, but there are also actuaries and others who come with them... Is the giant vision under this node city really worth such an investment?
When Seifer whispered this to Shengnai, Feldrich suddenly cleared his throat and said, "Red Crossbow, you are responsible for protecting me, not that little girl."

Shrugging his shoulders and asking Shengnai to wait, Seifer walked over to his current 'client' and asked, "What can I do for you?" "Who is that girl?"

"I think she should be a little older than you."

Feldrich's mouth drooped, his expression grim. "Can you find anyone in this room who holds a higher position than I do? Just answer my questions. No rhetorical questions, no interrogations, no other words."

"Okay... okay. She's a Doctor Without Borders volunteering as a battlefield medic in my car. She treats all injured people equally."

Feldrich nodded as he thought of the simple physical examination she had given him right at the start.

There are many such fools in the desert, providing free treatment, so the implementation of the new medical insurance contract promoted by Abian Company has encountered some problems.

She didn't understand the significance of this completely selfless act and just thought of it as performance art: "Okay, when the negotiations begin, don't run around. Remember to stand by me. If anything unexpected happens, remember to protect your employer."

“Until the negotiations are over?”

"Don't repeat it like that. The so-called end of the negotiations refers to the moment the contract is signed and we walk out the door, okay?"

Sefer nodded, found a chair to sit down, propped up his chin and started surfing the Internet... Oh, the mercenary exchange forum.

Seeing him daydreaming, Feldrich opened her mouth to mock him as usual, but the coldness on her neck was no longer so severe, and the heavy feeling made her calm down. She snorted and continued to read the information.

Then he gritted his teeth.

The share distributed is real money, resources and connections. If the loopholes cannot be filled this time, the implementation of various projects in the future will be affected... Why can this guy break through the defense so easily?

Could it be that the person from the Huanwu Group who secretly funded this person is not just a simple node manager?
After a while, the other door opened and 'Silver Bud', the boss of the Phantom Mist Group, who had been entrusted to Sefer to protect, walked in.

Seifer immediately raised his hand: "Good afternoon, Mr. Yinfeng."

Yinfeng told the others to take their seats first. He thought for a moment before walking over. "Good evening, mercenary. And Miss Feldridge, this is the first time we meet."

"Yes, so you're here to show off that you found a good mercenary who achieved unexpected results, to complement the other rubbish you found and the bunch of house dogs in your company?"

Yin Feng remained calm: "At least in terms of the results, we can reach a consensus to a certain extent... What do you think?"

"Two percent. Any more and you'll have to compete with those idiots at I/O."

"I think we can at least give about 10 percent."

Feldrich raised his brows. "Are you still asleep, old man? You can come up with such a ratio. Why don't you go to the rehabilitation agency and ask them to give you their share?"

Seeing that the two sides seemed to be about to start negotiations, Seifer immediately stood up, walked to a place a little further away, and then continued to browse the mercenary's chat board.

How should I put it... He wasn't very good at communication before, he was only good at design, and now he is even worse. Even the previous negotiations with Feldrich were actually quite confusing.

The other party was obviously not as arrogant as he was in the communicator, although he still had the same attitude towards other people - I think he must have threatened her with force, and she must have been scared!
