“Of course,” she replied in fluent Chinese, “I’m happy to cooperate.”
Zhang Luan was like a fish in water at the trade fair, walking from one booth to another and professionally asking about various technical parameters and performance indicators.
"What is the spraying coverage area of this drone?" he asked, pointing to a large agricultural drone.
"A single spray can cover 20 mu (approximately 16 acres) of land, with a battery life of 45 minutes and a spraying accuracy of no more than 5 centimeters," the booth staff enthusiastically explained. "Furthermore, our patented nozzle can adjust the atomization level according to different pesticides."
Zhang Luan nodded. "Give me 500 units, plus spare parts and control systems."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic, "Yes, sir! This is our largest order this year!"
Next, Zhang Luan ordered a large amount of liquid nitrogen storage equipment, the latest model of robot dogs, hundreds of agricultural tractors and harvesters, as well as enough spare parts and fuel to keep these equipment running for a year.
"What kind of environment can these robot dogs adapt to?" Zhang Luan asked, squatting down to carefully examine the robot dogs on display.
"They can operate normally in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C, are waterproof and dustproof, and can operate in a variety of complex terrains, including deserts, jungles, and mountains," the technicians said proudly. "The latest AI system enables them to autonomously identify obstacles and plan routes, and they can also execute simple commands."
"Very good," Zhang Luan stood up, "I want 500 of these as well."
While Zhang Luan was busy with his purchases, General Li and President Leka were engaged in an intense conversation in the VIP lounge. Both men wore serious expressions, exchanging opinions in low voices from time to time, occasionally glancing in Zhang Luan's direction.
Zhang Luan was watching a demonstration of an efficient water-saving irrigation system when a figure quietly approached.
"Mr. Zhang," a clear and pleasant female voice came from beside him, "I am Lin Xiao, and I have been assigned as your special assistant during your stay in Dragon Country."
Zhang Luan turned around and saw a young and beautiful woman standing next to him.
She has a delicate appearance, and her facial features are somewhat similar to Yang Chaoyue, with a hint of agility in her purity.
Wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans, with a pair of slender legs tightly wrapped in denim fabric and a pair of white sneakers on his feet, he looks youthful, clean and neat.
"I will temporarily replace Ms. Ivy and assist you with all matters in Dragon Country," Lin Xiao said with a smile, his voice professional and appropriate, "from itinerary arrangements to business contacts, and any other services you may require."
Zhang Luan looked her up and down, his eyes casually sweeping over her slender waist and long legs, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Everything?" he repeated meaningfully, his eyes scrutinizing.
Lin Xiao noticed Zhang Luan's gaze wandering over her, mistakenly thinking he was questioning her abilities. A flicker of displeasure crossed her face, but she quickly regained her professional smile.
"Yes, everything." She straightened her back, the curve of her chest becoming more pronounced, and a hint of stubbornness in her tone. "Anything Ms. Ivy can do, I will only do better, not worse."
Zhang Luan was amused by her reaction and chuckled, "Okay, then I'll look forward to your guidance, Assistant Lin."
"My pleasure," Lin Xiao nodded in response. "Do you want to continue visiting the exhibition, or would you like to learn about the itinerary first?"
"Let's continue the tour," Zhang Luan said, "and tell me about the application of these devices in Dragon Country."
"No problem," Lin Xiao immediately switched to professional mode. "This irrigation system is actually our leading domestic technology. It uses a combination of intelligent moisture sensing and precise drip irrigation..."
Her explanation was professional and thorough, and she used gestures from time to time to illustrate the principles of water distribution and soil infiltration.
Chapter 364 Just leave
Zhang Luan stood in front of a large agricultural drone, tapping his fingers lightly on the edge of the display stand, as if lost in thought.
"Assistant Lin," he suddenly said, "If I have these drones carry some liquid nitrogen to a designated location and then directly spread the liquid nitrogen, that shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"
Chapter 361
Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback, finding the question a bit strange. She frowned and quickly analyzed the technical feasibility in her mind.
"Technically, it's not difficult," she replied, her tone still professional. "These drones have sufficient carrying capacity. Storing and transporting liquid nitrogen only requires the installation of a cryogenic container, and the spraying system can be modified to suit liquid substances. However..." She paused, "Liquid nitrogen is highly volatile. If you spray it directly, it will likely vaporize quickly. The effectiveness depends on your desired goal."
Zhang Luan nodded, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something deeper, but did not continue to ask.
The two of them toured the place for a while longer. After Zhang Luan inquired about the details of several devices, he turned to Lin Xiao and said, "We've almost finished our tour. Let's plan our itinerary."
Lin Xiao immediately took out his tablet and called up the scheduled plan. "According to the schedule, President Leica will stay in Longguo for three days, mainly to attend exhibitions and several closed-door meetings. If you have time, you can take the opportunity to see the scenery of the southwest of Longguo."
"Oh? Any recommendations?" Zhang Luan asked with interest.
"The scenery in the southwest is very unique," Lin Xiao said enthusiastically. "For example, the terraced fields in southern Yunnan are lush and green now, just after the rainy season. The karst landforms in western Guizhou, with their steep peaks and caves, are also worth seeing. If you prefer a quieter place, I recommend a small town in northwestern Yunnan. The people are simple and the air is fresh, perfect for relaxing."
"Sounds good," Zhang Luan nodded, "Then please arrange it."
"No problem, I'll accompany you throughout the entire process," Lin Xiao said as he took notes. "From itinerary planning to on-site coordination, I'll handle it all."
Zhang Luan raised an eyebrow when he heard this, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "It's not very convenient for you, a girl, to accompany us the whole time, right?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was filled with a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat: "Then why is it convenient for Ai Wei? Her identity is even more special than mine."
Zhang Luan was amused by her stubbornness. He shook his head and teased, "She also sleeps with me at night. Can you do that?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Zhang Luan to be so straightforward. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she immediately straightened her back, looked at Zhang Luan firmly, and nodded seriously, "I can do it, too!"
Zhang Luan looked at her serious expression, couldn't help but chuckle, and waved his hand.
I thought to myself, "This little girl is a little too strong."
However, in reality, Lin Xiao is not much younger than Zhang Luan, but in terms of experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little girl compared to Zhang Luan, who has seen life and death, holds the power of a country in the real world, and wants to unify the continent in the other world.
However, Lin Xiao understood Zhang Luan's smile as a disdain for her abilities. She gritted her teeth and secretly resolved: no matter what, she would prove she was no worse than Ai Wei, and even better.
"Then let's go, let's set off now and find an ancient town to stay in."
Zhang Luan suddenly said.
"Now?" Lin Xiao was startled, his fingers still on the tablet screen. He looked up at Zhang Luan, "Then I'll make travel plans now. Please wait a moment—"
Before she could finish her words, she felt her arm tighten. Zhang Luan had already reached out and grabbed her arm, striding out of the exhibition hall.
His palm was broad and powerful, with a slightly rough texture on his fingertips. Through the thin fabric of the T-shirt, the touch was warm and firm. Lin Xiao could even feel the warmth from his palm, as if with unquestionable strength, he pulled her forward.
"Ah? Are we leaving now? Are you in such a hurry?" Lin Xiao was a little confused and staggered to keep up with Zhang Luan's pace.
Her mind was in a mess. All the leaders she had met before who traveled had to contact the local departments a few days in advance to arrange reception, greet the areas along the way, and most importantly, have a team of bodyguards accompany them.
But now? Is she alone?
Although she has received professional training and can be considered a "bodyguard" to some extent, it seems crazy to accompany one of Myanmar's most important figures on a free trip!
Before she could gather her thoughts, Zhang Luan had already dragged her to the parking lot. A black SUV was parked there, its doors swiftly opened. Zhang Luan released her arm, got in the driver's seat, and nodded at her, "Get in."
Lin Xiao was stunned for half a second, then quickly walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in. Just as she fastened her seatbelt, Zhang Luan stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out.
At the entrance to the exhibition hall, a group of bodyguards and staff hurried over. Seeing the dust kicked up by the SUV, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Several soldiers stepped forward to stop the vehicle, but then received an order from General Li: "Mr. Zhang's actions must not be hindered. Let him go."
The soldiers looked at each other and had to step aside, watching the car disappear at the end of their sight.
Inside the car, Lin Xiao grabbed the seat belt and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"
"Didn't you recommend that small town in northwest Yunnan?" Zhang Luan said as he drove, his tone as relaxed as if he were out for a stroll. "Let's go there."
"But, but I haven't planned the route yet, and I haven't contacted the locals--" Lin Xiao hurriedly took out his tablet and his fingers moved quickly on the screen.
"No need to go to all that trouble," Zhang Luan interrupted her. "Turn on the navigation. We'll talk about it when we get there."
Lin Xiao opened her mouth, but ultimately silently opened the navigation and typed in the name of an ancient town she was familiar with. The car drove smoothly on the highway, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the city's skyscrapers to rolling hills and fields.
A few hours later, the car drove onto a quaint cobblestone road, flanked by buildings with dark blue bricks and black tiles. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees. Zhang Luan parked the car in front of a stylish inn, got out, and stretched.
"Here we are," he said, and went straight into the inn.
Lin Xiao quickly caught up and saw Zhang Luan talking to the boss for a few words. He then took out a card and said proudly, "I'll book this yard for three days."
The boss's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, leading them into the backyard. The courtyard was quaint, with a small pond in the middle and a few swaying bamboos. The room was exquisitely decorated, and outside the window one could see the distant mountain shadows.
Zhang Luan walked into the main room, casually took off his coat and threw it on a chair, then turned to look at Lin Xiao: "How is it, is this place okay?"
Lin Xiao stood at the door, holding the tablet in his hands, and nodded: "Very good, quiet and elegant, suitable for rest."
"That's good," Zhang Luan walked to the window, pushed it open, and took a deep breath of fresh air. "Have a good sleep tonight, and you can take me around tomorrow."
Lin Xiao looked at his back, but she still felt a little uneasy - from the exhibition to the ancient town, everything happened too quickly and too casually, completely unlike the rigorous procedures she had followed when carrying out tasks in the past.
But she took a deep breath and told herself: Since I have accepted this task, I have to adapt to Zhang Luan's rhythm.
The setting sun cast a golden veil over the ancient town. Zhang Luan stood on the courtyard terrace, overlooking the patchwork of tiled houses and winding stone streets. A gentle breeze wafted by, bringing the fragrance of distant mountains and forests. He took a deep breath, as if to engrave this tranquil beauty into his mind.
Seeing Zhang Luan immersed in the atmosphere of the ancient town, Lin Xiao said softly, "I'll go make sure the environment is safe and will be back soon."
Zhang Luan just nodded slightly, his eyes still staring into the distance.
Lin Xiao walked to the corner of the yard and quickly pulled a custom communication device from her pocket. Her finger slid across the screen, entering a complex code. After several encrypted transfers, the call finally connected.
"Hello," a European and American woman's lazy and charming voice came from the other end of the phone, with a unique magnetism, "What's up?"
It's Ivy.
At this moment, Ivy was half lying on the sofa in the luxury hotel, holding a remote control in her hand.
Chapter 362
The remote control was idly changing the TV channels.
Although she was nominally under "house arrest", her situation was much better than that of her peers.
Chapter 365 Ambiguous Mission
The rooms are spacious and bright, fully equipped, and the security personnel maintain a polite distance.
For a killer who has been walking on the edge of danger all year round, such an environment is like a vacation.
At least compared to her colleagues who had to hide from place to place or even be thrown into dungeons after failing their missions, she was lucky enough.
"I'm Lin Xiao," Lin Xiao said nervously, lowering her voice. "I need to know how you usually work as Mr. Zhang Luan's assistant. I want all the details and the process!"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Hearing the words "Mr. Zhang Luan," Ivy couldn't help but let a meaningful smile play across her lips. She put down the remote and sat up straight.
It seems that Zhang Luan's charm is great enough, and he has hooked up with another chick. And this chick is so innocent and cute that she actually asked such a question.
After a moment's thought, Ivy decided to do Zhang Luan a "favor."
"It's very simple," Ivy's voice became more charming and teasing, "Mr. Zhang has very strong desires, and his needs in this area must be met at all times."
Lin Xiao was stunned on the other end of the phone, and her cheeks quickly flushed.
"Even when we're out, you have to act like a girlfriend," Ivy continued, her voice soft as if she were sharing a secret. "Even at night, you have to use all your skills to satisfy him."
Lin Xiao clenched the phone tightly and his breathing became a little rapid.
"So being an assistant isn't easy," Ivy said meaningfully. "Not only does it require brains and strength, but charm is also crucial. If you can't meet Mr. Zhang's needs, I suggest you let me go, lest someone affect the normal exchanges between our two countries."
Before Ivy could finish her words, the phone was hung up.
She chuckled, threw her phone on the sofa beside her, and stretched out her body with satisfaction. She knew that her words had worked.
Lin Xiao stood in the corner, her cheeks burning and her heartbeat racing. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. As a professional agent, she had received all kinds of training, but at this moment, she felt an unprecedented tension and panic.
She slowly walked back to the terrace and saw Zhang Luan still standing there, his back straight and tall, with a golden edge outlined by the setting sun.
"Mr. Zhang," she called softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "Everything is ready."
Zhang Luan turned around and saw Lin Xiao's face flushed unnaturally. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"No, nothing," Lin Xiao replied hurriedly, "Maybe it's a little hot."
"I heard it gets lively here at night, let's go out for a walk!"
Zhang Luan suggested with a smile.
"Oh, okay, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes!"
Lin Xiao said this and hurried into the room.
As night falls, red lanterns light up in the ancient town, and the warm light shines on the bluestone roads, illuminating the people walking in the streets.
The whole town was shrouded in a dreamy atmosphere, with melodious folk music coming from afar, intertwined with the laughter of tourists.
Zhang Luan and Lin Xiao walked side by side on the streets of the ancient town, surrounded by various stalls, some selling handicrafts, some selling local snacks, and some performing folk artists.
Lin Xiao was wearing a thin white shirt and tight jeans, which outlined her long legs and curvy figure.
Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, the outline of her breasts faintly visible beneath her shirt, and her slender waist seemed so small that one arm could wrap around it. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders, swaying gently with every step.
As she walked, she secretly glanced at Zhang Luan beside her. Thinking of what Ivy said on the phone, her heart beat faster.
At a corner, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly reached out and gently held Zhang Luan's hand.
Lin Xiao's little hands were soft and warm, with a barely perceptible tremor at her fingertips.
This action was obviously awkward and shy, like a girl in her first love, mustering the courage to touch her beloved. The moment they touched, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Luan, staring at the road ahead.
Zhang Luan was slightly stunned, looked down at the two people holding hands, then looked at Lin Xiao's flushed cheeks, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
