Jiang Chen has never been someone that treated other unfairly, he at most is someone without boundaries at times.
At least he thought of himself this way all along.
He spent a happy Christmas Eve and Christmas with Ayesha. Then, on the night of Christmas Eve, he returned to the apocalypse with Ayeshaâs hand-made fruit pudding and turkey.
Even with the unbelievable amount of wealth, he had never forgotten this mansion. His subordinates once proposed to rebuild this mansion since the building had been bathed in the nuclear explosion. However, even if the radioactive dust had been cleared, the cracks on the walls were still hard to cover up.
However, Jiang Chen decisively rejected the idea.
For him, this place offered a lot more sentimental value; it was not just a place for sleeping.
âHum! Itâs so delicious! How is this made? The perfect blend of mango and strawberry flavor⊠this is amazing!â The little hand held the fork and her white hair shook. Lin Linâs red and black eyes were filled with happiness.
[Youâre only eating a pudding⊠No need to act like youâre orgasming!]
But from the scene, both Lin Lin and Tingting in her body appreciated Ayeshaâs cooking skills.
âBrother, brother Jiang Chen.â Pulling on Jiang Chenâs clothing, Yao Yao timidly said.
âWhatâs wrong?â Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao with a smile and asked,
âThat ... that girl named Ayesha, is her cooking skills better than mine?â
Yao Yao asked a difficult question to answer, just like girls who always loved to ask, âWho is prettier, her or me?â It was the same for this question, âWhoâs cooking is better?â It seemed Jiang Chen could only say that each person has her advantages and disadvantages. However, of course, he wasnât going to say the foolish truth.
âOf course Yao Yaoâs is better,â Jiang Chen used his hand and rubbed the little girlâs head with a smile. âYao Yaoâs cooking is the best. â
It was a reaction Jiang Chen didnât expect as Yao Yao didnât respond with a smile, but instead, she started to blush. Although the joy could be seen in her big eyes, Jiang Chen thought something felt odd.
Sun Xiaorou was still grinning when she elegantly sent the soft pudding into her even softer lips.
âSister, a powerful enemy has appeared.â
âMhmm!â
âHmmm? Is sister not jealous?â Sun Xiaorou turned her head and looked at Sun Jiao who was busy working on the turkey.
âHumph, Iâm already used to how perverted this guy is!â Then, Sun Jiao gave Jiang Chen a dirty stare.
Even with the stare, Xiaorou on the side could still read the gentleness hidden in her sisterâs eyes.
After the delicious dinner, havoc filled the table.
When Jiang Chen cleaned up with the girls, it was already getting late. Yao Yao and Lin Lin went to shower and rest.
But Jiang Chenâs Christmas Eve with Sun Jiao and Xiaorou had just begunâŠ
âŠ
When Jiang Chen returned to the modern world, it was already the second day after Christmas.
Carson Loki called him to congratulate him on the successful public offering of High Tech Freshwater.
âCongratulations, Mr. Jiang Chen, your assets under your name ballooned once again. I wish you a Merry Christmas on behalf of all the Wall Street investors!â
The call should have arrived two days ago, but Jiang Chen didnât manage to pick up then as he was in the apocalypse.
âThank you,â Jiang Chen pleasantly responded.
âIf you have any plans to IPO your subsidiaries, please contact us!â
âHaha, yes, if there is any.â Jiang Chen selectively ignored Carsonâs attempt to gain information from him.
While B City Consortium was an ally, Jiang Chen never considered them to be the trustworthy type. The high valuation of the company meant that there must be institutions pushing for the price. And the institution most likely to do that was B City Consortium.
And there were two reasons why.
One was because of the shares held by Carson Loki.
Two was because B City Consortium wanted to promise a giant cake to convince Future Group to be âcake chefsâ together and bring more cakes to the stock exchange. The more subsidiaries that go public in the UA, the more there are to gain by B City Consortium, and the more assured the Capital would feel toward Future Group.
But Carsonâs expectation was destined to fall short.
The subsidiary going public did make Future Group taste the sweetness, but it was not sweet enough for Jiang Chen to completely âfaintâ from it.
He must admit that public listingâs one-time gains are really attractive; a second to earn money that could only be made in 20 years, but Jiang Chen never expected to rely on this to make money. High Tech Freshwater going public was only a decision made after weighing the pros and cons. After all, the Gulf of Aden was next to Somalia and Celestial Trade temporarily do not have the overseas troops to exert diplomatic influence.
It was also unnecessary.
For the B City consortium and Wall Streetâs attempt, Jiang Chen could only describe it in two words.
Too obvious.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen took a trip to New Moon Island.
As the population of Coro Island surged, the number of employees in Celestial Trade expanded several times. The expansion of the business from pure military contractors to aerospace and telecommunications fields plagiarized Raytheonâs development model.
New Moon Island has the most powerful military force of Xin and was the strongest card in Jiang Chenâs hands. From the initial scale of more than 100 people, it has now grown to 3,000. One in five of the employees were office and logistics personnel, and the remainder were war machines!
When Jiang Chen stepped onto the Island, Ivan was waiting for him at the port.
Jiang Chen didnât make any stop and directly headed to the middle of the island.
Lying there was a spacious warehouse?and at the same time the entrance to New Moon Islandâs underground arsenal. The location was used to store weapons that must be kept confidential, such as the Power Armor.
Since the Moro War and the undersea missile silo demonstration, an eye has grown above the head of New Moon Island. Jiang Chen simply collected the topographic data of New Moon Island and submitted it to the architects of the apocalypse. Their âprofessional ability testâ was to design a reconstruction program, and then mobilize the engineering robots to carry out the underground arsenal expansion.
The design would be based on the specifications of the fallout shelter. Jiang Chen not only brought the new equipment training ground down deep into the ground, but an L-shaped underwater harbor was also built that could allow submarines to dock. The waters around New Moon Island was shallow, but fortunately, there was a fault leading to the deep sea. Just on the faultâs side walls, amphibious construction robots opened up an exit for small and medium-sized submarines such as the Water Droplet.
The project, which took five months, was completed around October that year. At that time, Jiang Chen was in the apocalypse and did not visit after the completion of construction. Now, the underground training facilities have been put into operation.
Such as the Power Armor.
