Doomsday Club

At this point, Wu Tian moved his chair forward a little.

Then, speaking to Xu Nuo in a low voice as if watching a melon seed, he said, "We've wasted an unknown amount of money on our main energy projects, and we haven't even seen a ripple yet."

"The experts we invited, both domestic and international, all came full of confidence, but after pouring in research and development funds, none of the results they submitted were usable."

"If you ask me, this whole thing is a waste of time."

Wu Tian curled his lip: "We've been using electricity for so many years, it's not something you can just replace. So many top talents in various countries haven't found a new energy source to replace electricity, how could our small company possibly develop one?"

Pointing to his head, he said, "I feel like the boss has gone a bit mad."

I wonder how long this guy has been holding back.

That's the downside of not having any of your own people in the company; even if you want to play crickets, the boss can't find anyone to play with.

Now that Xu Nuo has arrived and happens to want to join the company, let's just consider this gossip as helping him understand the company.

"But the most interesting thing is that although our main business has not made any progress, we recently got a very special client."

Wu Tian's gossip continued: "He's not very interested in new energy sources, but instead invested a lot of money in developing thermal insulation materials."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo's heart stirred.

"It matches up!"

The sucker client that Wu Tian mentioned is definitely the organization from the other side of the real timeline.

Thinking of the vast sky city in my dream, I wanted to send such a thing up into the sky and let it stay high in the clouds for a long time.

The energy required is unimaginable and cannot be provided by traditional electricity.

As the main energy source supporting the Sky City, traditional electricity is simply too inefficient.

At this point in time, the Other Shore organization must have already mastered the technology of new energy sources, so naturally they wouldn't look down on the half-finished products that Lin's father's company has yet to successfully develop.

As for that new material...

Promises to make malicious speculations.

It's highly likely that their research and development process went very smoothly, unlike Lin's father's company which failed so many times, leading to numerous detours before finally producing this material by chance.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's so pitiful."

"Right!"

The two brothers were chattering away in Wu Tian's office. When the boss mentioned this, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"You should have started working at the company a long time ago!"

Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh, "You really have no idea how uncomfortable I feel holding it in every day."

"Doesn't your boyfriend work here too? What are you holding back?" Xu Nuo asked, sounding puzzled.

"He was transferred last month to a branch office."

He shrugged. "The boss set up a branch office in Harbin, specifically to handle liaison with clients. She's working there now."

Branch office...

He recalled the materials he had found in the basement, and the words written by Lin's father on them were still vivid in his mind.

Dude, your finances are in such a mess, how come you still have money to open a branch office in Harbin?

Xu Nuo sighed.

I suddenly feel a bit mentally exhausted.

Joining Lin's father's company was indeed the right choice. Just as they had guessed, the company was connected to the Other Shore organization.

However, so far, the relationship between the two sides is not as close as it was later.

The tricky part is...

If Lin's father sets up a branch of the organization that connects to the other side in Harbin, then it's meaningless for him to join the company!

His goal is the organization on the other side, not to actually come here to work as a new energy donkey.

"No wonder Mr. Lin went on a business trip that day; he was most likely going to Harbin to oversee the branch office."

Now, all the clues in the real timeline are connected.

Xu Nuo was in a good mood; if she didn't have plans for the evening, she would have already called Wu Tian for drinks.

He's figured it out now.

Regardless of his friend's future stance, he is still the Wu Tian he knows.

It was a very foolish thing to distance ourselves from the World Destroyer Organization before.

Not only would it not help his plans, but continuing like this would give the enemy an opportunity to win him over.

let it go.

Before leaving, Xu Nuo gave Wu Tian a deep look, then waved and left the company.

……

……

……

"Brother Xu Nuo!"

"The jailer is here."

"Yeah, you guys are early enough."

night.

When Xu Nuo arrived at the restaurant, Mingyue and Lao Wang had already arrived early.

He glanced at Mingyue with some surprise. Based on his understanding of the chubby boy, although he was never late, he would always arrive at the agreed time.

"Don't look at me, Old Wang insisted on coming early."

Mingyue shrugged, her tone somewhat helpless.

The young man had just left the army and was worried about making a living when Xu Nuo offered him a well-paying job.

So, in Lao Wang's mind, this meal was extremely important.

Both Xu Nuo and Lao Wang were genuine benefactors who had helped him.

Xu Nuo nodded in agreement.

This is someone who, twenty years later, can still call him "Brother Xu Nuo," perfectly matching his understanding of Lao Wang.

At the dinner table, the young man's gratitude was palpable.

He thanked Mingyue and Xu Nuo repeatedly, making them both a little embarrassed.

"Brother Xu Nuo, Brother Ming Yue, I really want to thank you."

After a few drinks, Mingyue's eyes reddened as she spoke.

"My father just passed away. The years he was sick had used up almost all of our family's savings."

"After the funeral, my mother fainted from excessive grief."

"In those years, taking care of my father took a toll on my mother's health."

"When Brother Xu contacted me, my mother was still in the hospital, and I had just paid my final discharge pay to the hospital..."

He tilted his head back and downed a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor). The alcohol fumes forced back the tears welling in his eyes. Old Wang gave a bitter laugh and continued:

"I'm just a country boy, and my family didn't have much money. My demobilization pay was the last of my family's savings."

"I desperately searched for a job, but I didn't have a degree!"

He said, "They rejected me on the spot as soon as they heard about my educational background."

"In the end, I could only rely on my good physical condition to find a job as a security guard."

"Two thousand eight hundred a month is simply not enough to cover my mother's medical expenses."

"I was really desperate at the time. I left the military with a lot of ambition. But when I came back, I realized that I didn't even know how to earn money to save my mother."

Old Wang's voice choked up as he said this.

At the dinner table, everyone was somewhat silent.

Xu Nuo silently took a sip and finally understood why Lao Wang remembered her for so long, even though she had only helped him find a job.

"Brother Xu Nuo, Brother Ming Yue."

Old Wang took a deep breath and finally managed to control his emotions.

He said, "Without you all, I really wouldn't know what to do."
