Chapter 862: I Think It’s Fair

As Long Qingying didn’t seem to receive her eye signal, Lin Wenwen immediately turned to Xiao Licheng, who was sitting in front of her, asking him with her eyes—?‘What is wrong with your Chief today? Why do I sense a coldness from him?’

Xiao Licheng shrugged and responded with his eyes—?‘I don’t know why he suddenly became upset!’

Lin Wenwen—?‘Everyone said that it’s hard to guess a woman’s mood, but Chief Wu’s mood is even harder to be guessed!’

Xiao Licheng—?‘Do you have the guts to say that out loud?’

Lin Wenwen shook her head—?‘Of course not! I’m not stupid.’

“You did something but you wouldn’t admit,” Wu Chengyue clicked his tongue and continued ironically, “Women never tell what they really think and feel. That is true.”

Lin Qiao was speechless. Meanwhile as a woman, Lin Wenwenfelt like an innocent victim of Wu Chengyue’s criticism. Long Qingying shared the same feeling with her.

‘Boss, wake up! You’re off the topic… We’re here for something serious!?‘ Xiao Licheng thought.

Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue with a small smile and said, “Chief Wu seems to have complaints about all women in the world. But in spite of that, we still need to sign that agreement.”

Lin Qiao ended the meaningless topic and led the conversation back to the business.

Wu Chengyue responded with a cold smile on his face, “Chief Lu, don’t you think that you are asking for too much? Do you think that our Sea City Base has no power to negotiate with you?”

All Being Base was only a small base with a population of less than ten-thousand. What gave them the courage to ask Sea City Base for such a big hunting field? That was disrespectful.

The sarcastic tone in his words grew even more obvious than before.

Xiao Licheng was already wearing a very complicated expression. Did his Chief somehow switch himself into a weird mode?

“It seems that you are not happy with our offers. I thought you were here to sign the agreement. Did I receive a false message before?” Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue and smiled coldly.

What she really meant was that Sea City Base had accepted the offer before. Was Wu Chengyue eating his own words? How was the deal supposed to be made without his honesty?

She felt as if she was facing a fake Wu Chengyue at that moment. What happened to the look on his face? Why did he look so different from before?

Lin Wenwen glanced at Xiao Licheng and Kong Qingming—?‘What happened to your boss?’

Xiao Licheng and Kong Qingming responded to her with the same look—?‘I don’t know. Don’t look at me. I don’t even know this sour-talking man!’

At that very moment, Wu Chengyue was looking at Lin Qiao’s face with his head full of the interactions that had happened between her and Lin Hao.

Without thick makeup, Lu Tianyu’s face looked much younger than before. Lin Hao was handsome, and also looked younger than his real age, energetic as well. Lu Tianyu and he could make a lovely couple.

For that reason, Wu Chengyue felt so angry, and couldn’t help but show that anger on his face. Clearly, the zombie lady was being unfriendly to him, which made him even angrier.

Did the zombie lady really plan to let Doctor Lin be the father of his baby? Wu Chengyue would not allow that to happen!

He, of course, didn’t care how Jiaxing City would be divided. He just didn’t want the zombie lady to get what she wanted so easily! That would make him so unhappy! Besides, as same as the farm in the other bases, the farm in Sea City Base had died as well. Therefore, they might need to make further deals with All Beings Base in the future.

“I just feel that our base seems to be at a disadvantage. What do you think?” The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face faded a little.

Currently, Sea City Base only had about seven-hundred-thousand commoners left. Even though the population had decreased drastically, they were still running out of food.

Wu Chengyue was already in a bad mood before. Now, looking at Lin Qiao and thinking about her relationship with Lin Hao, he unwittingly wore a sullen look.

So at last, his smile even turned a little vicious.

“I think it’s fair. It hurts me to offer you such a large batch of food. Besides, we’ve all seen what’s happening out there. The food is running out. Jiaxing City isn’t so valuable actually. I think I offered you more than what it’s worth.” Lin Qiao gave a cold smile.

The hidden meaning of her words was—’If you aren’t happy with our offer, we’ll give up on that hunting field. It won’t be so useful anyway.’

She clearly knew that Wu Chengyue needed food at the moment. Not only Sea City Base, but also Huaxia Base, Sea City Base, Mongols Base and the nearly destroyed Heilong Base, as well as Hidden Cloud City Base which had recently lost their leaders, all needed food. Food was needed wherever people lived in.

If people failed to find a way to better the current soil quality before the stored food ran out, a batch of people would be starved to death.

On hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Wu Chengyue had his eyes glowing with a cold light. The smile on his face faded, and the look in his eyes turned colder. He was aware that he should not make an impulsive move. He had to control his temper so that the conversation could continue. His top priority now was to solve the food crisis for his base!

“Since you think it’s fair, we’ll accept it so that our bases can cooperate happily in the future,” Wu Chengyue said through clenched teeth. Even though he had accepted Lin Qiao’s terms, he couldn’t help but make it sound like he did her a favor.

He had no idea that he was acting like a totally different person in front of All Being Base people, from what he used to be.

Lin Qiao wanted very much to roll her eyes, but she didn’t let herself do that, as she needed to maintain her serious Chief image. The others silently sighed with relief, wiping their sweat.

“So, we’ll sign the official agreement tomorrow.”

It was supposed to be an easy and peaceful meaning. But for some reason, the weird Wu Chengyue made it so difficult. As the meeting finally ended, everyone else felt a little exhausted.

In the temporary base near Green Mountain Base, Lin Jing walked into the room weakly. Her face was still pale, eyes unfocused and lips cracked.

She was still in a bad condition. During the past year and a half, she had been living a bitter life. Back in Huaxia Base, she was worried about her own safety all day, as she was bullied and threatened. She found a way out, but after that, she was starving all the time, and couldn’t get any proper rest. She was already suffering from severe health problems.

She thought her life would better in Mongols Base. However, she could only live in a cold shanty for commoners in that base. With the last few level-three nuclei she had, she bought the lowest-grade meal tickets that would last her for a month. For each meal, she only had one coarse steamed bread. Even the water costed an extra meal ticket.

As a woman who lived alone in a strange base, she became a target soon. Most of the people who lived in the shanty area were the poor who didn’t have enough to eat and to wear. Some found that she had a lot of meal tickets, so they robbed her.

She got beaten, and then got sick. As she fell unconscious, the others thought that she was dead, so they threw her out of the base.

She woke up to find herself in a truck.
