Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 85 85. Some people wait just for fun!
What Sefer didn't know was that the biggest weakness of Abian compared to the other two companies was that they didn't control enough visions.

It is true that the three companies invade other people's territory in various ways every day. Today you blow up my mine, and tomorrow I blow up your factory... But on the surface, cooperation will continue.

The Desert Reconstruction Committee is superior to these up-and-coming companies in all aspects. If they really turn against it, they will probably all be swallowed up.

So in recent times, the company has been transforming and looking for new perspectives. In comparison, the losses of some factories and the like do not matter to them.

Feldrich was a leader in this transformation. While researching the anomaly, she had access to a wealth of advanced resources and products, and her research team was among the best in the company.

As a family heir/technician, her position in the company is second only to one person, who is the head of the company's other part of the commercial and industrial operations.

The resources she has accumulated may not be as much as the entire Feldrich family system combined - but precisely because it is a technological family, she can step on everyone's heads.

It doesn't matter if she has a bad temper or a bad personality, as long as she can come up with outstanding products and research and development, her position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

So even if she does many things out of line, it doesn't matter, and no one can control her.

What's more, she has recently obtained several strange cities - so no one can care about it anymore.

It’s a pity that this smooth sailing situation suffered a loss in the edge node city.

Even the high-energy crystals that were supposed to be shipped out of the mine near the Furnace Node City through legal channels disappeared. It is said that Feldrich was so angry that he scolded the thief for more than ten minutes in his office.

In short, she couldn't bear the humiliation of Edge Node City. She would definitely dig deep to find the mercenary who had ruined her plans.

The good news is that because the small company that provided the cover had arranged it well, she didn't need to go to the above-mentioned position to ask "why it went wrong".

The bad news was that the money she smashed was all her own savings and she couldn't claim it from the company, so she smashed things for a few more minutes before she managed to calm down.

The secrets of these companies are only known by the core internal staff, clerks and the like of the company. As for outsiders, probably only commercial spies can know them.

——When Cypher was driving away the mercenaries who had gathered around him and telling them to get lost and not to try to take possession of the machine, a text message came through.

Qingju: I have good news for you. The little brat is locking himself in the room and crying loudly. I feel so good.

Red Crossbow: Who is it?

Qingju: That's the 'person' who arranged this incident. I'm so happy to see this~
Red Crossbow: I mean, who are you?
Qingju: Here’s the trick, I understand.

Tangerine: Now, do you know who I am?

Sefer wanted to say he didn't know him, but considering the car and Dr. Mei's sponsorship, he decided to check it out.

Red Crossbow: Now I know. What do you want from me?

Tangerine: Let me tell you that little brat is crying and making a fuss.

Red Crossbow: And then?
Tangerine: Just this matter~ Oh, I understand. You must be imagining that such a rich sponsor doesn’t even like your young body, right? Oh, it’s such a pity.

Red Crossbow: ???

Lin Shenxue half-knelt beside Sefer, and seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, she curiously reached out and tugged at her T-shirt, and asked him what was wrong using her tablet.
"It's very complicated. To put it simply, our client is incredibly powerful and knows a lot about everything. He might even be aware of everything we've written here, so remember to erase everything you've written."

Lin Shenxue wiped the screen quickly, and then despairingly discovered that there were many fried chicken oil stains on the screen, and the more she wiped, the dirtier it became.

This client is even more mysterious. After the matter is over, he can suddenly come over from some unknown account and gossip.

After getting the vehicle into the berth, Seifer commissioned a transport vehicle to deliver the vehicle to the maintenance room or hangar, thus temporarily wrapping up the work here.

When I turned around, Tien was carrying a box, shaking a bottle in his hand and smiling: "Have a drink?" "No, I don't drink."

"A mercenary can't drink, so why not ask your little brother to have a drink with me?"

Lin Shenxue shuddered, but suddenly remembered that her stomach was full of fried chicken, and she had also practiced her drinking capacity.

So I accepted it bravely.

The three of them returned to the car. Sefer sat beside them and watched them eat. In his heart... he was still a little envious.

But it only took a moment.

The celebration party wasn't over yet, so why did Tien sneak out? You know, that venue was incredibly lively, with tons of food and drinks from I/O companies, there was no way they could enjoy it all.

Hearing Sefer's question, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then he crossed his arms, as if to emphasize his exceptionally prominent chest, which looked exceptionally soft and upright under the emphasis of the close-fitting protective suit.

He took a deep breath and then sighed, "The city defense team suffered the most serious losses in this battle, and the patrol team suffered the most."

"All the vehicles are destroyed, many good brothers have died, and the pension will not be paid until next year. Now I don't get any money, I'm bankrupt."

He poured another glass of wine and continued to sigh, "I've saved a little money over the past few years, but after losing everything, I'm left with only half a month's salary. Thinking about it, there's really no point in doing this kind of voluntary work..."

Seifer rested his arms on his legs. "You're not going to say you're quitting..."

"So I quit my job and am now unemployed. I need to find a few people to submit my resume to - how about taking a look at my resume?"

Seifer tilted her head slightly, but after she finished speaking, she buried her head in her fried chicken, as if she was determined to keep this delicious food in her heart forever even if she was rejected...

"...Doesn't the company provide pensions to your subordinates?"

"That little pension can't do anything, so I added this money when I recruited people. Now there are only a few left, so it's better to lay them all off and settle down here."

She finished a piece of fried chicken and placed the bones neatly on the table. "Think about it. You're an experienced tank commander with many battle command experiences and countless victories over larger forces. Wouldn't you be tempted?"

The problem is that I don't have much money. Hiring her as a bus driver is not impossible, but there are only a few people on the bus, and managing her would feel like a bit of a trick.

To put it another way, if she wants to be a driver, then what should she do... just sleep in a jar?

After thinking for a long time, Seifer hesitated and was about to refuse, but Tien raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush to refuse!"

"As a rookie mercenary, you're bound to be confused about things in the desert. I can even act as a guide and show you the way!"

Seifer nodded. "That's quite pragmatic. So, what commission do you expect?"

"Ah, then I'll give you a symbolic one thousand a month."

……How many?
"Ha, you think it's low, right? It's right, because you look quite poor now. Once I've sorted out this car, you'll have more money. It won't be a problem for you to pay me more then."

Seifer crossed his arms and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hold back your salary and not give you a raise?"

"That's no big deal. I'll just work for a few months and then run away. The desert is so vast, and if I can work, I'm sure I'll have food to eat. Besides, if things don't work out, I can still find a teaching job in the Joint School Node City."

Tien acted nonchalant and even told the other party a way out. It can be said that he was extremely confident.

There was no doubt that if he rejected her now, he might see her active again somewhere in the future. After hesitating for a moment, Seifer said bluntly:

"I might be targeted by some big shot. In this case, are you still determined to join me?"
