Chapter 523 - 404: Where is the Company’s Headquarters?

Chapter 523: Chapter 404: Where is the Company’s Headquarters?

With compelling evidence to persuade him, the following matters became much easier to handle.

Sun Mingsheng once again represented the Light Blue Starry Sky and extended an invitation to Richard.

This time, Richard was very decisive in accepting, his tone even conveyed an air of eagerness.

Then, there was the scene of him immediately taking a flight to Qionghua City.

However, on arrival, Richard was regrettably asked a series of questions about himself, mostly concerning his current life and work.

Although he felt somewhat impatient, Sun Mingsheng also apologized, stating that these were company protocols.

Moreover, these details needed to be personally verified by the boss before it could be decided whether he could be allowed to join.

For that reason, Richard even signed three confidentiality agreements, one of which was a very peculiar agreement made of parchment, which confused him.

Finally, after a lot of intricate preparations, Richard successfully received the opportunity to join the Light Blue Starry Sky, and was informed that he would meet the mysterious boss that afternoon.

...

"Ms. Pei, is this a branch of your company? And where are the headquarters and laboratories?"

In the conference room, Richard took a sip of coffee, which Xiao Ya, who had recently been promoted to executive secretary, had brought in.

On the side, Pei Lingsu, clad in a trim suit, gently set down her teacup and, smiling, said:

’Mr. Cromwell, you seem to have misunderstood. The Light Blue Starry Sky has yet to establish any branches. As for the exact location of the laboratories, I’m very sorry, but that can only be disclosed after you’ve joined the company."

Upon hearing this, Richard looked around, visibly surprised, and the motion of him drinking coffee paused.

No branches? So this is the headquarters?

But this headquarters seems too modest.

In his view, a company capable of undertaking lunar projects couldn’t possibly just occupy such a small space?

Although the environment here is quite pleasant and the area adequate for some non-public, ordinary small companies, it certainly does not match the standard of a business possessing a Space Battleship.

Though he doesn’t know what the standard for a company owning a Space Battleship should be since there’s no such benchmark in reality.

But merely based on the size of this company, it seems unlikely to have the capacity for space exploration.

"Could I have been deceived...?"

This thought suddenly emerged in Richard’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

’Impossible, those videos, I can guarantee, were absolutely real! No one can deceive me in this regard, there must be something I don’t know about...’"

Richard reassured himself, while Sun Mingsheng, seeing his demeanor, felt somewhat amused.

He had had similar thoughts when he first joined the company, only he was very curious.

A company capable of producing technology like the Star Network Terminal, why would it only have such a small scope.

It wasn’t until later, when he learned of the immense organization behind the Light Blue Starry Sky, that his doubts were resolved.

In fact, for Zhang Xiaoman, both Sun Mingsheng and Richard were important talents in the research development of the Star Alliance in the future. Hiding things from them would be somewhat inconvenient.

So, after a series of identity and background checks, and signing many confidentiality agreements and contracts, he then disclosed some matters to them.

Of course, it was only limited to certain details. Topics like the Alien Species and the Three Great Sanctuaries were not necessary to elaborate on.

This afternoon, he came here to meet with Richard, which was regarded as the first contact, and if the other party was willing to join the company, then he would later take him aboard the Dawn for a field trip into space.

With the guidance of professionals, he believed that he would gradually develop and utilize the resources of outer space to alleviate the financial situation of the company on Water Blue Star.

As long as the funding was in place, various research equipment related to technology and biology could also be purchased, and at that time, development was bound to enter a fast track.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman was located 15,000 meters above Qionghua City, a height usually unattainable for passenger planes. On Water Blue Star, only fighter jets and eagles could reach this altitude.

However, there were no such wild eagles in Qionghua City.

As for fighter jets, under the comprehensive electronic detection of the Dawn, he believed no plane could approach undetected.

After taking a quick shower in his ship captain’s room to wash off the sweat from earlier in the desert, Zhang Xiaoman changed into a lightly colored outfit and then activated his Skill, quietly disappearing within the spaceship.

Simultaneously, inside a restroom in the Light Blue Starry Sky office building, a figure appeared out of nowhere, opened the stall door, and walked towards meeting room 1.

Zhang Xiaoman rarely came here, and this was about his third visit, the changes around him somewhat surprising.

With the company’s development over these days, not only had the surrounding environment been beautifully arranged, but the number of employees had also significantly increased.

Now, as he walked down the corridor, the bustling scene gave a lively feel.

The company’s structure was shaped like the character for "return," and the shortest route from the restroom to meeting room 1 required passing the front desk.

As Zhang Xiaoman passed by, without a work badge, a new front desk clerk prepared to stop him, but was immediately stopped by a colleague named Yueyue.

"Sister Yueyue, do you know him? Is he also someone from our company? But it looks like he doesn’t have a work badge, should we note this down?"

In the front desk area, a young girl who seemed just out of school asked her colleague beside her.

Huang Yue slapped her forehead with a look of being defeated and said,

"I mean, Little Tingting, you’ve also been here for a few days, how do you not recognize the boss? Didn’t I show you his picture last time?"

"Ah! He’s the boss? Isn’t Mr. Pei our chairman?"

"Please, who told you the chairman has to be the boss? The real boss of our company is actually him, he usually doesn’t come often, so don’t forget again in the future."

"I won’t forget, I won’t forget, such a handsome young man, how could I possibly forget? It’s just that the photo you gave last time was so blurry, it looked like it was taken secretly."

The two young girls started gossiping.

"By the way, Sister Yueyue, since he seldom comes here, what could he be here for today? Should we try and make an impression on him while we have the chance?"

"Enough, enough, don’t daydream, we’re not his type..."

Huang Yue poured cold water on her hopeful imagination, then said,

"Today a foreigner came here, and the chairman personally received him, so the boss must have come for that matter too. Maybe it’s a big deal."

"A big deal?"

The girl blinked her eyes: "But what kind of business does our company actually do?"

"That... I don’t know either..."

Huang Yue struggled for a while, finally sighing.

"But those are not our concerns. I heard from the boss last time that if we perform well, there’s a chance to be transferred to the headquarters later on. I heard the pay there is more than ten times higher than here, just thinking about it gets me somewhat excited..."
