"My secret relationship with him and our conflicts have nothing to do with the public matters; theyâre two separate things."
"Whatâs on the surface has been resolved; even if thereâs hatred in my secret relationship with him, it wonât affect my public dealings with you. You donât need to worry."
Although Bai Quan heard Chen Mingâs assurance, he still said, "I see, but I think you deserve an explanation for this matter."
Chen Ming realized Bai Quanâs deeper meaning at this moment and said, "I actually donât mind."
"My dealings with you are just trade; I donât know him, heâs been frozen in the escape pod without saying a word, and I wonât know him in the future."
"Moreover, suppose, I mean suppose I considered your proposal later on, the Fourteenth Legion shouldnât be small enough to require me to stay with him, right?"
Bai Quan couldnât directly say it.
But Chen Mingâs stance indeed conflicts with Bai Quanâs and the Vice Admiralâs thoughts, or everyoneâs thoughts in the Fourteenth Legion aware of this matter.
Almost everyone in the Fourteenth Legion is expecting a future cooperation between Cheng Xinghe and Chen Ming.
But if things go this way, it would be a bit off.
So Bai Quan didnât answer Chen Mingâs question, but instead sincerely said, "Someone on our side made a mistake, so he must give you a proper explanation."
Chen Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Whatever."
Chen Mingâs lack of complete refusal gave Bai Quan some reassurance.
However, he still found handling Chen Mingâs matters challenging, especially since he knew what Cheng Xinghe had done.
Although Dusk usually likes commanding fleet battles, it shouldnât be to the extent of wanting to fight with everyone he sees.
And the calm composure most needed for a commander has always been a trait of his.
Itâs just that Chen Ming being a Psychic might be too sensitive a matter for Cheng Xinghe.
He recently lost to a Psychic, who was someone he was quite familiar with.
So he overly wanted to defeat a Psychic to prove himself.
This ultimately led to this situation.
Therefore, they had to wait for the rescue results, provide ample compensation, and let the previous matters completely pass.
Only then could they continue to resolve Cheng Xingheâs issues.
Bai Quan soon took his leave, ending the communication.
Meanwhile, the officer in the directorâs office received instructions that the mission was complete and could return, and after chatting briefly with the director, left the office,
while the company people merely nodded to the director before leaving.
In the office remained only the director and Old Wu, who had been waiting by the door without hearing any useful information,
and Chen Ming, connected in communication with the director.
Taking advantage that Chen Ming hadnât ended the call, Old Wu suddenly darted to the directorâs side and asked Chen Ming, "Xiao Ming, isnât your situation bad? Still need the Fourteenth Legion to rescue you?"
Chen Ming, hearing Old Wuâs question, first glanced at the Iron Ore No.âs external cameras and confirmed he had about ten minutes of free time, then said to Old Wu, "Iâm actually doing okay."
"All my arrangements here are moving slowly; the main thing is to give the people rescuing me some peace of mind and to cooperate with them a bit."
"My ability wonât be easily given up by Dusk, so although I do find it hard to leave right now, my safety is still guaranteed."
"Thereâs a lot I canât say here; if there are questions, talk on my ship."
Old Wu smirked and said, "Thatâs good; we donât want to see you die so early."
"Donât worry, Iâm not going to die that easily."
"I have a lot more to do."
