Jack stepped out of the meeting room and quickly returned. Once seated, he slowly spoke, "The president has agreed to your terms, but you need to send me those photos, and you'll have to come to our country to personally sign agreements with the suppliers you want. Our country will provide the guarantee."
"No problem," Zeng Shen shrugged slightly, "Should I send the photos via WeChat or email?"
"Email, and use the Twitter email account wssbwssb@," Jack quickly provided an email address.
"One moment," Zeng Shen said, logging into his Twitter email and sending the original photos.
Jack saw the email notification on his laptop and opened it, his excitement palpable as he viewed the high-definition photos Zeng Shen sent. He quickly shared them, adding a note, "Verify the authenticity of these photos."
After sending the photos, Zeng Shen, not wanting to linger, stood up. "Jack, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. As for when I'll visit your country, let's say around May 1st. How about giving me a year-long free travel green card for your country?"
"Sure, once it's ready, I'll have Kekelin deliver it to you," Jack said, standing up and extending his hand for a handshake. With a slight threatening tone, he added, "I hope when the time comes, Mr. Zeng, you'll keep your word about the abundance of Green Dew Imperial Jade in that cave. Otherwise, we might have to pay your parents a visit."
Zeng Shen's brows furrowed, and he gripped Jack's hand tightly, "I don't appreciate threats to my parents, so I'll definitely inform you, but you must be patient and honor your commitments, without delaying supplies for the year."
With that, Zeng Shen released Jack's hand and left with Xiao Ti.
In the elevator, Xiao Ti spoke, "Master, when you go to their country, they might detain you and not let you return."
"I'm aware of their tendencies, but they can't keep your master. Besides, Xiao Ai is worried about the equipment for the new city's underground tunnel. This is a chance to experience their 'zero-cost shopping culture.'"
"Master, should I accompany you?"
"No need, just arrange protection for my parents." Zeng Shen paused before adding, "Also, have Xiao Ai research the locations of their major equipment and large zoos."
"Understood, Master. We'll compile the information and send it to you."
In room 2303 of the World Trade Hotel, after Zeng Shen and Xiao Ti left, Kekelin asked Jack, "Dean, do you really plan to sign that agreement when he comes to our country?"
"Heh," Jack sneered, "Once he's in our country, everything will be on our terms."
Just then, he received an email stating, "These photos are not edited; they're real. However, I can't currently determine the location or soil structure of the cave, nor the exact time they were taken."
Seeing the email, Jack's excitement grew, and he instructed Kekelin, "In the coming days, find opportunities to interact with him, learn where he's been, traveled, or if he's been abroad. If necessary, make some sacrifices."
"Dean," Kekelin frowned, her fists clenched, clearly displeased.
Jack seemed oblivious to her tone, continuing, "When you return to your family, your father's branch will receive significant support from Skull and Bones members. In a year, I'll introduce you to Skull and Bones."
Back in Xiao Ti's RV, Zeng Shen entered the rest area, activated his invisibility, and used the Wormhole Marker Card to transport back to the outskirts of Yinhai.
He had completed the first round of explorations in the nearby villages and towns, leaving only Yinhai City itself unvisited. Typically, cities offered more initial notifications than villages due to their larger size and denser populations.
"Number One, drive through every navigable street and alley in Yinhai City," Zeng Shen instructed. Resting one hand on the steering wheel, he used his other hand to message Li Yuqing about his May 1st trip to purchase pre-prepared food ingredients.
But before sending the voice message, he reconsidered and canceled it. Instead, he messaged Xiao Ai on WeChat, "Xiao Ai, I'm going to their country on May 1st. If Li Yuqing finds out, she might want to join. Find a way to keep her busy during those days."
Xiao Ai quickly replied, "Understood, Master. Inform the mistress about your trip the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
Zeng Shen sent an 'OK' emoji, then added, "With their country as a cost-effective logistics base, we'll have a continuous supply of farm products and fresh meat. The pre-prepared food factory can expand fivefold, and we should accelerate construction, equipment procurement, and hiring."
"Master, I'll call your parents to inform them of further expansion. But I suggest visiting them before your trip to inform them personally."
"Alright."
Zeng Shen sent another 'OK' emoji, then messaged Liu Miao, directly informing her of his trip to procure agricultural products and meat.
"Shen, make sure to unload the goods at my Jinhai port, so we can be partners, haha," Liu Miao replied with a laugh.
"Haha, yes," Zeng Shen chuckled.
After chatting with Liu Miao, Zeng Shen heard Number One's report: "Master, all drivable streets in Yinhai City have been traversed."
"Good, head to my hometown, Xiayang Town," Zeng Shen instructed, then told Liu Miao he was busy before checking his survival points on the attribute panel.
[Survival Points: 102,111]
"Finally, I have another 100,000 survival points for the ten-draw Purple Card Roulette."
Zeng Shen murmured, summoning the Purple Card Roulette and focusing his consciousness.
"System, ten-draw."
Instantly, purple, blue, and green lights shone from the roulette as the pointer spun. Soon, three green lights illuminated, and two notifications sounded in Zeng Shen's ear.
