C270 To Catch up on Old Times
Du Qing was only one step away from his goal. He couldn't help but feel excited, so he couldn't wait to share this good news with Hai Xiaomin.
“. . . ”
"Hello? Are you still there?" Du Qing asked curiously when he didn't hear any response from the other end of the phone.
"Hmm? Yes, sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Are you talking about a satellite phone?" Hai Xiaomin asked absent-mindedly.
"Yes!"
"Nowadays, there aren't many people who use satellite phones, right?" She asked uncertainly.
"That's quite a lot. " Satellite phones were only slightly more expensive than ordinary phones, and there were still many people who chose them. It was impossible to check the number of users of satellite phones one by one.
"Oh, I got it. . . " Hai Xiaomin was deep in thought.
"I will inform you when the result is out. " Du Qing, who was in the midst of excitement, did not notice her unusual behavior.
"Alright. " Hai Xiaomin smiled gently. "Thank you, Du Qing. Also, pay attention to your safety. "
"Don't worry. "
After hanging up the phone, Hai Xiaomin sat on the bed without moving. The curtains were not tightly drawn and a beam of bright light fell on her delicate body. Her hair was sparkling and translucent, but her exquisite face was immersed in the shadows. The expression on her face was uncertain.
Satellite phone. . . A drug lord who could obtain the internal materials of LY. . . Could the spy of LY be her?
Hai Xiaomin tidied herself up, picked up her bag and walked out.
"Madam, you want to go out?" Coincidentally, Jess was outside the door. He wore a white suit, and under the window that was illuminated by the sunlight, his entire body was emitting a faint light, especially his blond hair. It was especially dazzling, and there was a faint smile on his lips. He seemed to have been waiting here specially.
"Yes, I want to go to Star Gazing Manor. Mr. Jess, do you have something to talk to me about?" Hai Xiaomin stood up straight and held the bag in front of her with both hands. Her posture and etiquette were very proper.
"I just heard that Madam had something to talk to me about yesterday afternoon. I happened to go out sometimes at that time, so I specially came to ask. " Jess had always admired Hai Xiaomin's good upbringing.
"Oh, I had something to discuss with you at that time, but now. . . " Hai Xiaomin lowered her head and hesitated in her eyes. "Let's wait for me to come back. "
"Okay, Madam is going to Star Gazing Manor. I will get someone to send you there. " Jess smiled and did not ask why Hai Xiaomin suddenly wanted to go to Star Gazing Manor. It was always comfortable to be with such a person.
Star Gazing Manor was located in a mountain forest far away from the busy city. The scenery here was pleasant. The air was fresh all year round. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In this place, even the most arduous and tedious research work would not be so difficult to bear.
There was a flowerbed in front of the woods behind the manor. Kuan Xiang would take care of it during her free time. During this period of time, she had been taking care of it even more diligently.
Today, as usual, she watered the flowers and plants. Suddenly, a clear female voice sounded from behind, "Ms Kuan, do you like flowers?"
Ms Kuan heard this voice and her hand that was holding the watering pot trembled.
Hai Xiaomin noticed this point, "Sorry, did I scare you?"
The sudden sound was definitely very scary.
Kuan Xiang turned her head. Seeing that it was Hai Xiaomin who came, she stopped watering the kettle and respectfully nodded towards her. "So it is Miss Hai. Didn't you already leave the manor? Why. . . "
"I remember that I still have some matters to attend to so I came back. " Hai Xiaomin's light cherry lips curled up and her gaze inadvertently fell onto the flowerbed. Just now she did not pay attention and only then did she realize that it was spring and should be the season of blooming flowers but the flower buds in the flowerbed were all cut off before blooming!
She was surprised, "These flowers. . . "
Kuan Xiang pursed her lips and in her casual smile, there was clearly a trace of helplessness and ridicule. "Not only the flowerbed, but all the nearby plants that bloom will be disturbed by humans. "
Seeing the confusion in Hai Xiaomin's eyes, Kuan Xiang smiled strangely. "That's true. Without someone who has a deep understanding of the operation of the Star Observation Project, how would they know about this? Miss Hai, do you know about the plants on the back of the mountain?"
"Yes. " Hai Xiaomin hesitated for a moment and nodded. Although she did not enter the planting area, she had heard Ling Yao mention that he had once used a telescope to take a look from afar.2
"That is the core part of the entire observatory project. In order to reduce the data interference caused by external factors and to ensure the strictness of the experiment, it is necessary to reduce the spread of pollen in the air. " Kuan Xiang turned her head to look at the dense vegetation on the mountaintop and said with a smile.
"So that's how it is. . . " Hai Xiaomin was deep in thought and thought of something. Her eyes trembled and she said in a strange language, "Then why do you still want to plant these flowers?"
Clearly, she planted flowers that she could not appreciate. Before the flowers bloomed, she had to cut off the flower bud. All of her hard work had gone to waste.
Kuan Xiang, on the other hand, smiled brightly. "Because I like it. "
She looked at the green plants by her feet and her eyes were full of joy.
Hai Xiaomin was stunned and said that it was only natural that she liked it. Even though she knew that these flowers could not bloom, she still stubbornly did it for the sake of her heart. She tried again and again to taste the cruelty of the flower buds dying before they bloomed. It was like a moth flying into a flame, carrying a tragic and heroic color. Was this Ms Kuan?
"Right, I haven't asked what Hai Xiaomin came back for. I didn't delay you, right?" Kuan Xiang recovered her senses and said with some uneasiness.
"No, I originally wanted to find you to reminisce about old times. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have the time to say a few more words to Ms Kuan. " Hai Xiaomin smiled disapprovingly.
"Miss Hai is too polite. What do you want to say?"
Hai Xiaomin thought for a moment and stared at Kuan Xiang with a faint smile, "I want to borrow Ms Kuan's phone and call a friend. "
"Borrow the phone?" Kuan Xiang looked at her and the smile on her face froze slightly and her eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Yes, my phone seems to be out of battery. If Ms Kuan is not convenient, then forget it. " Hai Xiaomin smiled very naturally.
After half a second, Kuan Xiang once again revealed a friendly smile. "Of course, no problem. But my phone is not on me. It is in the room. If Miss Hai does not find it troublesome, you can come with me. "
"I am not in a hurry. " Hai Xiaomin replied.
Kuan Xiang's room was very close to the flowerbed and Hai Xiaomin followed her very quickly.
"Miss Hai, please come in. The room is a little messy, please don't mind. " Kuan Xiang opened the door and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Of course not. " Hai Xiaomin entered the room. She did not know what kind of room the others were staying in. Anyway, Kuan Xiang's room was only slightly smaller than the guest room. There was a separate balcony bath and the decoration was not considered low.
The LY's preferential treatment towards employees had always been a popular topic in the industry.
"Kacha!" As he was observing, he heard a sound behind him.
Hai Xiaomin turned her head and met Kuan Xiang's smiling eyes. She only closed the door.
It seemed. . . It was locked?
