Tonight it was only him and Ling who would sleep together, and after letting the latter bear a little more of the burden, the night was over.

The next morning, Zhe, pretending to be a morning jogger, set off for the agreed location.

Although Ling was still a little sleepy because she went to bed late last night, she was still forcing herself to stay in the store with Fairy.

Although it might not be of any use, she was still ready to support Zhe at any time.

On the other side, Zhe, after arriving at the agreed location, also glanced over there at the corner.

He is a strong man with a spiky hairstyle and slightly red hair. He is wearing a coat, giving him a handsome and cool feeling.

"Hello, brother, can you hear me? How's the situation over there? Have you seen the client?"

He had just arrived when Ling sent a message. Hearing the other party's whispering tone, Zhe couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Ling, no one else can hear you talking on the phone, so you don't have to be so quiet."

"Well, don't I think this is a more cautious approach? Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the situation on your side."

"Well, I saw a rather suspicious person standing there talking to himself, as if he was waiting for someone. I think it's probably our client."

"Oh, you already have a target? What does he look like? Is he some big, strong, fierce-looking guy?"

After hearing Ling's question, Zhe hesitated and observed again. It seemed that there was really no difference from what the other party said.

"He is indeed a strong-looking man, but I haven't seen his face yet. Uh, wait, he seems to have noticed me."

Zhe looked at the other party walking straight towards him, but he was not too nervous. Seeing this, the other party spoke with a happy face.

"Ah, I finally found you. I'm Anton from Baiji Heavy Industries, and you must be the rope maker I specifically commissioned—Phaethon."

"Well, since you were able to find our trumpet in the rope net, it must have been introduced by someone you know. My name is Zhe, so just tell me what you want to say."

"Hey, straightforward, I like your personality. I'm sorry, it may not be in accordance with the rules to meet with you directly, but like I said before, our company is facing a life-or-death crisis.

Because confidentiality is required, we are asking for a meeting between the two parties to add some constraints. I hope you can understand."

This is not difficult to understand. If this situation really happens, I think he will make the same decision.

"Well, since Nicole is willing to introduce us to Baizhi Heavy Industry, whether it's out of professional ethics or something else, we naturally need to take responsibility."

"Haha, I'm relieved by what you said, Brother Youzhe. It's just as the people in Cunning Rabbit House said... Wait, how did you know that?"

"Don't panic, Mr. Anton. After all, there are only a few people who know about our trumpet, and Nicole is probably the only one who would leak the information.

Okay, let’s get down to business. What is the content of your commission?”

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about the main thing. I will take you to the construction site now. Our president will tell you about the commission in person when the time comes."

Chapter 61: Keleta

Then Zhe agreed to follow Anton back to their construction site. By the way, I heard that they started work at 5 am.

However, before leaving, Zhe wanted to go home and make some preparations so that he could drive there later, so he took Anton back to the video store first.

However, Anton described his car as a galloping tortoise. What kind of a metaphor was this? Zhe didn't quite understand it, but his car's performance was indeed good.

After driving to the destination, Zhebian got out of the car and went inside under the guidance of Anton. While leading the way, the other party did not forget to brag to him.

"We're almost there. Our president is right in front. Although he's young, he's already a king of beasts, so it's okay if you're nervous."

"Haha, normally, shouldn't you say 'don't be nervous'?"

Zhe smiled helplessly, but it was normal for Anton to say that given his personality.

But the other party's description doesn't seem to match the information I asked Fairy to look up online...

However, now was not the time to think about this, as a panicked scream interrupted their conversation.

Not far ahead of the two of them, an out-of-control construction machine suddenly broke through the wall and rushed towards them.

There was a young woman sitting on top of the machine, constantly moving the buttons on the tablet, as if trying to control the out-of-control machine.

"careful!"

Anton reacted immediately upon seeing this, and then he recklessly stepped forward to fight the machine with his body, and actually managed to temporarily control the steel body.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Anton looked up at the woman sitting above him, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that this was not the first time.

"Oh, it's you, Anton. Don't worry, there's only one step left in the system check. Just stay like this and don't move.

Come on, don't be afraid, dear child, it's just a firewall plug-in."

As the woman spoke, she swiped a few times on the tablet and then prepared to press the red button on the machine.

However, before she could touch him, the other party suddenly retreated in an unexpected way, throwing her out in the process.

Amidst the screams, Zhe on the side reacted immediately, jumped up and caught the other person in the air.

Although he was under considerable pressure from the opponent, he finally landed perfectly.

But the construction machine on the other side was different. It lost control and crashed directly into an unfinished building not far away.

Then at this critical moment, the machine suddenly stopped, then slowly turned around and walked towards the woman who had just sat on it.

"Really? Even though he's a little willful, he's still a good kid after all."

The woman said as she walked towards the machine, and Zhe also let her go.

But just as the woman was about to reach out and touch the construction machine, the other party actually walked right past her and continued walking towards Zhe.

Then, in front of the woman, he lowered his head and motioned Zhe to touch its control console.

"Why is this?"

Not only her, but even Anton beside her felt very strange about the scene before them.

Theoretically, even if the machine suddenly stops running out of control, it should first return to its controller, whether according to the program or the self-judgment of the artificial intelligence within it.

And only Zhe knows why this is the case.

That is, he unfolded all his charm and let the system target it at the machine in front of him. After all, in the critical moment just now, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

(If there weren't any men present, I would have let my charm be used indiscriminately.)

The result was obviously a success, but it took some time for the charm to fade, and this time allowed the machine to find him.

As for the other side, the woman felt inexplicably sad when she saw her "child" being so close to a stranger she had just met in front of her.

It was like having something important taken away from her right in front of her (this kind of situation is usually called being bullied, but her case was special.)

"Ahem, alright, alright, be obedient and go back."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhe could only cooperate and reach out to touch it, then signaled the machine to go back.

Seeing that the other party was so obedient, the others were even more surprised, but at this moment a deep voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"I just heard a big commotion over here. Sorry I'm late. Is everything okay?"

Xiong Xiren's huge body, combined with the machine-powered pole carried on his shoulder and the scar on his left eye, added a bit of dominance to him.

If he knew nothing, combined with Anton's previous words, Zhe would probably mistake the other person for the president of this place at first sight.

"Oh, it's Ben. It's okay. Brother Zhe has already fixed the out-of-control machine. I didn't expect you to have such a talent. You are indeed the legendary rope maker - Phaethon."

As Anton spoke, he put his arm around Zhe's shoulders in a very familiar manner. Knowing the other's enthusiastic personality, the latter did not particularly reject it, but instead extended his hand to Ben in front of him.

"Hello, my name is Zhe, and I was invited to solve your case."

"Oh, hello, hello, Brother Zhe. I'm so sorry to have you help us solve such a big problem right after we arrived. Just like Anton said, we made the right choice to find you."

Unlike his dignified and calm demeanor just now, Ben's tone now seemed rather... well, how should I put it? It was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Ahem, come this way, please. Our president has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Grace! What are you doing? Put me down! Put me down quickly!"

A girl's voice suddenly came from behind Ben, crisp and energetic, but from the meaning of her words, it seemed that she was in some trouble.

Ben didn't say anything about this, but simply stepped aside, giving his attention to the red-haired woman who was being hugged by Grace behind him.

Except for the girl herself, everyone else seemed to be used to this. Was it something they had agreed to do in advance?

Zhe couldn't help but think so in his heart, and the red-haired girl inside stopped struggling after noticing that Zhe's eyes were on her.

"Hello, I'm the president of Baishe Heavy Industries, Koleda Beloberg."

A red-haired girl wearing overalls and showing her waistline, a headband similar to bear ears on her head, and an eye patch on her right eye.

After introducing herself, Grace put her down. She didn't know what to say. She felt that her posture just now was a bit like a kitten that was picked up and was unable to resist.

But it is definitely impossible to say such words, otherwise the favorability will definitely drop.

Current favorability target:

Name: Keleta Belloburg

Keleta

Inner thoughts: Grace is such a jerk. She asked me to meet the guests like this and said it was to appear more dignified. How is that dignified?

Chapter 62 Grace's Children

"I heard your conversation just now. Your name should be Zhe, right? I'm sorry you witnessed such a mess. I hope you won't question our professionalism because of this."

After being put down, Koleda looked up at Zhe in front of her, and accidentally met his eyes.

For some reason, she, who had always been fearless, suddenly felt a little flutter in her heart. This was a very novel experience that she had never had before.

"Well, of course not. I've heard a lot about Baizhi Heavy Industries and its president's reputation and abilities."

"Ah, reputation and so on, ahem, those are just rumors. It mainly depends on everyone's joint efforts."

When Kelida heard Zhe's praise for her, she also showed joy on her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"Okay, let's get down to business. When we heard Anton say that a famous rope maker like you was willing to take on our commission, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Anton should have mentioned this to you as well. Although our company has won the subway project, the progress hasn't been smooth due to constant obstruction from our enemies..."

"Uh, uh, President, isn't it a bit rude to call those people 'enemies' in front of Brother Zhe?"

After hearing Keleida's straightforward words, Ben also reminded her, but Anton didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

And Zhe now understood that the enemies that Keleda was talking about were probably the friendly competitors of Baiji Heavy Industry.

Later, he also learned that these competitors, in order to snatch the subway renovation project from Baizhi Heavy Industry, tried every means to make them encounter problems like Yuanjing.

This includes but is not limited to preventing banks from issuing low-interest loans, allowing thugs to disrupt construction sites, blocking construction and fire permits, etc.

But these are not big problems. The real main problem is a recent accident.

"Yes, three of our children were lost in the Hollow last week."

"Hey, Grace, wait a minute, if you say that, Brother Zhe will misunderstand you."

Ben then explained the actual situation.

"Well, Brother Zhe, you should have heard of our company's independently developed 'intelligent engineering machinery for hollow spaces'. Oh, yes, that's the one you just helped us control."

"Okay, I see. So the three lost children Miss Grace mentioned just now should be three intelligent engineering machines."

"That's right, Zhe, you are worthy of being the one who can easily subdue my dear child. You understood my words so easily."
