BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68 - 68: Uncle Da’s Confusion
“Blue Moon Technology Company…”
Zhao Yu nodded and grinned, “Something like that!”
It was actually true!
He Jingxuan’s heart relaxed. Good, she hadn’t tracked down the wrong person.
“You’re doing really well now. Blue Moon Technology Company. Your company has been all over the news these few days…”
He Jingxuan ventured, “Old classmate, where did this Blue Moon Technology Company spring from? I never heard of it before, and now it’s suddenly a global sensation…”
Zhao Yu chuckled, opting to remain silent.
Seeing she couldn’t bait any information out of him, He Jingxuan ditched the pretense, and said bluntly, “I have a friend who found out that you’re linked to Blue Moon Technology Company and would like to have a chat with you. Would you be free for it?”
” Your friend?!”
Zhao Yu was taken aback. Sure, He Jingxuan was a rich kid, but her influence was limited to this locality. Out of Chang’an, it meant nothing.
Could her friend have discovered something about him?!
“She’s the heiress of the Eight Lakes Group. We had dinner together before…”
Eight Lakes Group!
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes , seemingly grasping the situation.
It should be that the Great Xia officials had done something behind his back.
“Is she here at the school now?”
“Yes, this is her first time coming to our school. She said she wanted to take a look around…”
As He Jingxuan spoke, she casually signaled to a girl standing not too far away. “Qiao Qiao, over here!”
Zhao Yu turned to look. Approaching them was a girl who bore a striking resemblance to the celebrity Qi Wei but had a cooler vibe.
He Jingxuan hastily introduced her to Zhao Yu. “Qiao Shuyu, the heiress of the Eight Lakes Group…”
“Mr. Zhao Yu, hello…”
Qiao Shuyu, still catching her breath from her run, her chest heaving, came bounding over cheerfully.
As she neared them, she suddenly stumbled, and pitched forward into Zhao Yu’s arms.
“Are you alright…”
Caught off guard, Zhao Yu almost lost his footing. He awkwardly steadied her.
But in the rush, his hand accidentally brushed a place it shouldn’t have.
“Ah, sorry!”
He quickly pulled away from the girl.
Qiao Shuyu clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment.
This made Zhao Yu feel a little awkward.” Well, I didn’t do it on purpose. I saw you fall, so I wanted to help you up…”
“I know, I was the one who lost balance. I should be the one apologizing…” Qiao Shuyu’s voice was so soft and sweet, it sparked a sense of protectiveness.
Chang ‘an Base 404.
Colonel Chu was organizing the construction of a new factory in the Blue Moon district when someone found him.
“Zhuge Tao? What brings you here?”
“The higher-ups are concerned about you, so they sent me to assist…”
Zhuge Tao smirked, “Just intercepted a call related to Zhao Yu. Want to hear it?”
“Go ahead!”
“It was Jiang Yueyue, the second daughter of the Hua Jin Consortium, talking to her best friend…”
“In the call, she was boasting about how she had found Zhao Yu early and had already made her move…”
Colonel Chu paused, “Aren’t they sisters?”
Well, they share a mother, but their fathers are different. On the surface, they play nice in front of their mother, but it seems there’s a lot of conflict when she’s not looking…”
After Zhuge Tao finished, he rubbed his chin, “Jiang Yueyue’s move might jeopardize this meet-up. Should we send someone to warn the Jiang family…”
Colonel Chu contemplated for a moment, then shook his head, “No need. No one really knows what type of woman Zhao Yu prefers. He might just fancy someone as spirited as Jiang Yueyue…”
“Before things are settled, let’s send all types of women his way. Surely, one of them can win him over…”
Twelve hours later.
At the Blue Moon New District in Chang’an, resources equivalent to two hundred and thirty million Blue Moon dollars formed towering heaps, claiming nearly half the space.
Five hundred square kilometers area was cluttered with various types of ore, organized and neatly lined up.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yu commanded the sixty accompanying transport ships to land and start loading.
It took fifty-five filled to the brim transport ships to completely clear the ground resources.
” two hundred million Blue Moon dollars worth of resources fill this much space. To move the remaining eight hundred million, I’d need at least one hundred and fifty more transport ships…”
They could opt for the ships to make several trips, but that would be too time-consuming. Many production lines in the moon factory were still halted due to resource shortage.
Colonel Chu was there the entire time, watching. The robots’ efficiency, managing to load such a massive quantity of resources onto the ships, stirred a tinge of envy in him.
“Councilman Chu, I came across some odd individuals today. Did you arrange this?”
After finishing his business, Zhao Yu recalled the day’s encounters at the school. Feeling it wasn’t merely coincidental, he asked.
“Ah?”
Councilman Chu, slightly baffled, hurriedly asked for more details.
Zhao Yu briefly described his encounter with Jiang Yueyue and Qiao Shuyu.
” What?!”
“We were completely unaware of this, otherwise we would never have allowed them to bother you…” Councilman Chu said, clearly taken aback.
“It must be some staff member who leaked the news and those consortiums found out…”
Colonel Chu immediately apologized, adding, “Fortunately, whoever leaked the news likely only caught fragments of information, not knowing your true identity. They probably assumed you were a representative of Blue Moon Technology…”
Zhao Yu’s suspicions aligned with this, and he gave a slight nod without further questioning.
Leaving Earth, Zhao Yu hovered in the sky above the Blue Moon and got in touch with Uncle Da.
“The resources are loaded. The first batch worth two hundred million will reach the Moon today.. The second batch, worth eight hundred million, will take another two and a half days…”
