"Said, you know, what girl chases a guy? And maybe Said is just playing the contrast game. He's all honest and serious in front of us, but you see, he immediately shows his true colors when he's with Roy and the others."
However, Mai Xiaowen's words only earned her a glare from Zhang Hao. He said, "I don't believe you at all."
Zhang Hao: You guys...you three, oh no, plus Claire, the four of you, isn't that being proactive? You're breaking my limits time and time again!
"I'm definitely more likely to be Sophia, after all, Xiaowen, you mentioned Uncle Said's personality before. Someone like him who can't say anything for a long time, do you expect him to confess to Sophia?"
The two expressed their opinions and then decided to go to Roy and the others in the afternoon to discuss it.
Said: It's over. This was all made up. If Xiao Hao tells Roy and those guys, I'm... sigh, my good days are over.
Chapter 626 Secret Meeting (1)
Headquarters of the Hafk Group, United States.
"Why did you suddenly call me over this time? What do you want to assign me this time?"
Daisy arrived at an office and looked at Jacob sitting in front of her. She still didn't give him a good look and asked unhappily.
"Hey, why are you being so cold? At the very least, can't you learn from Demulan and show me a little respect?"
Looking at Daisy's aloof expression, Jacob could only smile wryly. He really didn't know where Daisy had learned to act like that.
Although they had known each other for a long time, she was now her boss, so she should at least give her some face.
"Tch, if you had only sent me as the sole person to parachute into Asara this time, I would have given you a warm welcome, but what happened?"
Daisy raised an eyebrow, looked into Jacob's eyes, and asked in a slightly questioning tone:
“Take a look for yourself. What kind of ideas did that guy Hudson have when he went to Asara this time? Don’t tell me that you, as the CEO of a company, couldn’t refuse his application.”
Daisy thought of Hudson's confident smile and disdainful expression during the meeting that day, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
“Daisy, this is really not something I can manage directly. You know about Hudson's situation. He's the kind of person who ruthlessly ousted his father in order to inherit his father's board of directors.”
"It's not that I, Jacob, will be intimidated by him, but in my position, all I can do is try my best to keep him in check."
Listening to Jacob's excuse, which he had given her many times before, Daisy understood Jacob's predicament. After all, with the growing power of the Hafk Group, his actual power had been gradually diminishing.
He is no longer the same person he was at the beginning, but similarly, the Hafk Group is no longer the newly listed company it once was.
"You don't know Daisy yet? Hudson came to see me alone before. Guess what he said to me that time?"
Daisy frowned. Hudson had actually come to see Jacob alone; it seemed...
"Hmph, what else could he possibly want from you? Isn't he just trying to keep me here at Hafk's headquarters? No matter how capable he is, in my eyes he's just a little brat."
Jacob nodded and clapped his hands after hearing this, then pointed to the chair in front of him, indicating that Daisy should sit down.
He then got up and went to the coffee machine behind him, asking:
"Still the same taste as before?"
Daisy glanced at it and said:
"Things have changed a long time ago, Shaotang. I'm too old now to act like I used to."
Jacob smiled faintly after hearing this, and a short while later, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Daisy.
“You’re right, but this Hudson is different from the young people we’ve met before.”
Seeing Jacob suddenly start sighing in front of her, Daisy couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Could it be that this Hudson had some information that she couldn't get?
"Did you talk to Demulan about the space satellite station that I asked you to remind him about before?"
"I told her, I also told her, to be careful during this period and not make any mistakes, so that Hudson can't find any fault with us."
Daisy thought of Demulan's previous joy at the rapid progress in her relationship with Kami and Xiaohao, and silently rubbed her temples.
Since the last explosion, my best friend's personality has changed somewhat, but whenever something involves her son Camie, she's like a completely different person.
Daisy: Sigh, I don't know when I'll be able to go to her place. I have a feeling that something will happen to the space base if I'm not there.
"Yes, it's definitely wise to be careful. Hudson came to me that day mainly because of this second matter."
As Jacob spoke, he projected the files from his computer behind him, and Daisy saw what Jacob had projected.
"What... is that?"
Looking at the yellow tubes displayed from every angle, Daisy squinted and asked uncertainly.
"Dark Star Fuel is an aerospace material independently developed by the Hudson family."
Jacob slowly began to speak, introducing Daisy to her.
"Dark Star Fuel? What is Hudson trying to do? Does he want to replace our existing materials with this material he developed himself?"
After thinking about this, Daisy stared wide-eyed at Jacob and couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, saying:
“Jacob, I don’t think you’ve lost your mind yet. Even though you’re only a little older than me, you should be able to nip this kind of thing in the bud.”
Daisy was surprised that Jacob would bring up rocket fuel with her.
In her memory, after Asara built this space station, it has been using the same rocket fuel that is still in use today.
But then Jacob suddenly mentioned the Dark Star fuel to her. What information was he trying to reveal? What did he mean by this?
Daisy was unsure whether Jacob had simply come to share the news with her or wanted to use her to inform Desmoulins.
Or perhaps... Jacob and Hudson had agreed to replace all the rocket fuel at the space base with this dark star fuel.
Daisy: Ugh! Suddenly I don't want to be a board member in Asara anymore. This thing is pure torture! I'm supposed to be there to retire, right? It feels like I'd still be a beast of burden if I went there.
"No, no, no, I think you've misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it. Hudson made me a condition that I couldn't refuse, and all I had to do was stay out of it."
Jacob shrugged helplessly. There was nothing he could do; Hudson was just too generous, and his family's wealth was so vast that even Jacob had to think twice before spending it.
"What do you mean? You're not going to get involved? His next target is Demoulan?"
Daisy understood immediately that Jacob still had some conscience, knowing to tell them the news first.
Chapter 627 Secret Meeting (2)
"You're telling me this? You want me to remind Demulan? Oh, no offense, but is this really something that warrants calling me over here? Am I just a messenger?"
Faced with Daisy's doubts, Jacob simply shook his head. This Daisy no longer had the murderous intent she once had. It seems that time... really can change a person.
“My not interfering means I’ve already been bribed by him, Daisy. Things are far more complicated than you think. There’s a high probability that a large-scale incident will occur at the space base soon. I hope you and Demulan can handle it well.”
“I’m a businesswoman. Even though we’re friends, Daisy, I still want to remind you that businessmen don’t have permanent friends. In our eyes, there are only permanent interests. And right now, the benefits that Hudson can bring me far exceed those of you. This… is not a good sign.”
After hearing Jacob's "reminder," Daisy leaned back wearily, resting against the backrest.
“But you still told me this news, Jacob. I told you before that as long as I go to Asara, I can completely resolve the current conflict between Asara and the Hafk Group in less than 5 years, and the two sides can coexist peacefully.”
"But this time you still agreed to Hudson's request to go together. I... I can only say that you may be right. Demulan and I have changed, but you haven't. You are still the same capitalist you. You and Hudson treat human lives and morality as bargaining chips on the table!"
"Perhaps this will bring you unparalleled pleasure, but Jacob, let me tell you, everything in this world has a cause and effect. This is my final reminder. I will not be here anymore, so you should take care of yourself."
After Daisy finished speaking, she also got up to leave, and Jacob said at that moment:
“Robert has already built the agricultural laboratory. You and Hudson can go to Asara anytime, as can Daisy. I think I can still defend myself a little.”
Jacob also stood up, looked at Daisy, and said sincerely:
“We’re all working for Hafk’s development, Daisy. You did the same back then. You don’t need to deny your past self. We haven’t changed. We’ve never really changed. It’s just that times have changed, but this cannibalistic society has never changed, Daisy.”
“If we don’t eat people, we’ll be eaten. I don’t actually approve of Hudson’s plan, but I can’t change this fact. Daisy, I believe you and Demulan can resolve this perfectly. Should I send my private plane to take you there?”
"No need, I have my own."
Daisy did not give Jacob a direct answer; after replying, she simply turned and left.
Right now, all she wanted to do was pack her things quickly and go to Asara to talk to Demulan about everything. Before Hudson acted so quickly, they could make some preparations.
Daisy: Luckily, I already have the territory that Demulan has conquered for me. Hudson needs to prepare for a while before he can set off. If we really can't win, we can just take Xiao Hao and that [Zero] over.
After returning to her room, Daisy took out her phone and called Desmulan:
"Hey? Daisy, you're coming to the space center now?"
As soon as the call connected, Desmulan's words immediately shut Daisy up. Daisy looked at Desmulan, who already knew, with a bit of confusion.
"No? I just got this news! You've got all the inside information?"
Desmoulins seemed very satisfied with Daisy's performance and immediately said:
"Hmph, I bet Mr. Jacob just told you that that idiot Robert has already built the agricultural science lab and told you to pack up and get ready to come over."
"No way? Robert didn't even take credit for this himself, and you had to relay the message? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like he's really not in his head, the stupid son of a rich man!"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. When are you coming?"
"Sigh, let's do it tomorrow. I still need to pack some things today. It seems like I don't have enough room for all the clothes in my wardrobes."
Daisy looked at her clothes that filled several closets and scratched her head in annoyance. This Demulan was really something. He was the highest commander of the space base, yet he still had such a small house.
Daisy: If you let me pass, I'll show you how to build a skyscraper from scratch, and then use it specifically to store all my precious clothes.
"You can pack it yourself. I've prepared a big office for you. You can put whatever you want in it. When you need something to wear, just go to the office and get it yourself."
After receiving such a thoughtful reply, Daisy smiled and started having her huge pile of clothes packed up. Luckily, she had traveled there on her own private jet, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to bring so much stuff with her.
"Hehe, our little Demulan is still the best to me. Tomorrow, just wait there obediently for my arrival as the board member! Remember to ask Xiao Hao for me! I want to eat his French steak."
"Dream on. Tomorrow isn't the weekend, and even if I want to eat Xiao Hao's cooking, I have to go to Rometheus's place. Forget about it, just pack your things and come over."
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Meanwhile, Hudson, who had just received Robert's completed work, was leisurely sitting in his office chair, taking a drag of his asthma medication, and looking at the list of personnel on his computer screen.
"Oh dear, Demulan... you're really inefficient. With so many useless mercenaries, what can you do here? You truly are a relic of the old era."
"Someone, start packing. We... are also heading to Asara."
After Hudson gave his instructions, he immediately accessed the parameters of the Dark Star fuel.
"Such a perfect masterpiece, it's just a pity I don't know how stable it will be. Demulan, I hope you and Daisy can cooperate well with my work, otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite."
