#551 - Chapter 551 Gu Qingyi takes over as president
“Tiangang, what's the situation? Why did you quietly go to Bartow City?” Dongfang Chen asked.
“Under the orders of Old Qin, I came here to purchase equipment and learn mecha control technology.”
Then, Shen Wengang told him what had happened.
“Okay, I understand. You guys study. I'll tell Brother Niu to handle the equipment.”
“Commander, who exactly is this Old Qin?” Shen Wengang asked curiously.
“I'm not entirely sure either. The situation in the country is complex, and not entirely as we understand it. You don't need to be curious and inquire about it. Just do your job well.”
“Okay, Commander, I understand.”
“Okay, that's all.”
After hanging up the communication, Dongfang Chen called Niu Xingwang again.
“Mr. Dongfang!”
“Brother Niu, how have you been lately?”
“Tiangang is back.”
“Yes, I know. I already contacted him. Don't hold back on the equipment. Give them the best equipment, arm them to the teeth.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Any other situations?”
“Yesterday, the Ok Empire sent a diplomatic note, hoping to meet with you.”
“Did they say what it was about?”
“No.”
“Okay, reply to them, they can arrange a time for an online meeting, they can decide the time.”
“Okay. There's one more thing I find very strange,” Niu Xingwang said.
“What is it?”
“Gu Qingyi has officially taken over as the president of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.”
When Niu Xingwang evacuated from China, he did not take her with him.
Not just her, all the employees of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce were basically not taken away.
Dongfang Chen's initial intention was that the problems in China should be resolved within China.
Gu Qingyi's performance has always been considered outstanding and dutiful, but she always gave Dongfang Chen a feeling of being on the periphery of the team. She was clearly a veteran of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and played an important role, but she always had a relatively low profile.
Her gentle yet firm, detached, and non-competitive personality naturally gave people a feeling of aloofness.
Dongfang Chen had always suspected her identity, and even had Xiaolin specifically start an independent monitoring task, monitoring her 24 hours a day without blind spots.
But after such a long time, there were no unexpected situations at all.
This actually reflects something unusual on the other hand, that is, it is so normal that it is abnormal.
Everyone has emotions and desires, everyone has joys, sorrows, and anger, and everyone has times when things don't go their way. But there is such a person who never makes friends, and only rests and exercises at home every day besides work. There are no emotional fluctuations, no unexpected situations, no sick leave, and no quarrels with any colleagues. Is this a person? Even a machine probably doesn't have such a low failure rate.
This is a bit problematic.
But these are all minor details, and one cannot say that a person has a problem based on these alone.
“Is that so? It is indeed abnormal for her to take over as president,” Dongfang Chen was a little curious.
After the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was nationalized, the position of president was definitely a hot potato. I'm afraid there are not a few people vying for this position, including those with status and background.
Gu Qingyi has neither status nor background, and does not like social interactions. Is it so easy to get to the top?
This is almost impossible.
With her prudent personality, being a ten-thousand-year secretary would be normal.
“It seems that Gu Qingyi should have a very deep official background,” Niu Xingwang said his deduction.
“Let's see. Behind unusual things are often ordinary reasons that we have overlooked. Keep paying attention, and it will always come to the surface.”
“Okay.”
“Any other situations?”
“The Mayans sent a message, hoping to order 20 more warships and requesting delivery within 20 days.”
“Okay, I'll handle this matter myself, you don't need to worry about it.”
“Okay!”
After cutting off the communication, Dongfang Chen directly contacted the Mayan High Priest.
“Mr. High Priest, I'm very sorry, I've been delayed by some things during this time,” Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
“Mr. Dongfang is too polite. We have already received the warships you produced, and the quality is very good. The High Priest is very satisfied.”
“I heard that you want to order 20 more?”
“Yes, I don't know if Mr. Dongfang has any problems?”
“No problem, but the fee must be paid first.”
“Okay, 20,000 crystals are ready and can be traded at any time.”
“Okay, but I still need you to send someone over.”
“No problem,” the High Priest readily agreed.
“Okay, that's it.” Dongfang Chen was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait, Mr. Dongfang, our High Priest wants to talk to you.”
“Is that so? I'm honored.”
“Please wait a moment.”
After the High Priest finished speaking, the screen changed, and an old man with a wrinkled face and messy hair appeared.
“Hello, Mr. Dongfang, I finally meet you,” the High Priest said slowly.
