Time seems to have stood still.

After a long time, Nie Shuying slowly broke free from Xu Yuan's arms, and then slowly took a few steps back.

Somewhat embarrassed as she straightened her clothes, her eyes drifting to the side.

"Sorry, I was excited."

She pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, but the flush that crept up her cheeks betrayed the panic in her heart.

Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded, and looked at her in a daze.

Just when the two were in awkwardness, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"There's visitors outside." Looking at the two of them with a smile on his face, Liu Ling leaned on the door frame and said.

It's too timely to save the scene!

"I'll go to the door and take a look, you can study the virtual helmet first." Smiling at Nie Shuying, Xu Yuan turned around and left the room quickly.

Looking at the direction where Xu Yuan left in a daze, Nie Shuying's gaze stopped at Liu Ling, who was standing at the door.

Speaking of which, I haven't spoken to her since I entered the house.

Nie Shuying squeezed out a smile a little stiffly and greeted her, "Okay... Long time no see......"

Nie Shuying didn't know what expression to use to face her life-saving benefactor and "rival in love".

Liu Ling responded with a friendly smile and said softly, "I've already cleaned up the room for you, if you need help, you can tell me." ”

Facing this non-hostile smile, Nie Shuying felt a little ashamed of the faint hostility in her heart.

"Don't you really hate me?"

Hearing Nie Shuying's words, Liu Ling tilted his head and asked her curiously, "Why do you hate you?" ”

"Like jealousy or something." Nie Shuying moved her gaze slightly, she was a little afraid of the next look of the girl opposite.

However, Liu Ling only shook his head slightly.

"Aren't you worried that I'll snatch him away?" Nie Shuying couldn't help but ask.

"Have you finally admitted your feelings?" Liu Ling asked rhetorically.

Nie Shuying was stunned, and the blush climbed all the way from the root of her ears to her neck, but this time she didn't flinch, she didn't want to show her emotional weakness in front of the "rival in love".

Seeing that she didn't deny it, a smile appeared on Liu Ling's cold pretty face, and she walked to Nie Shuying's side and leaned close to her ear.

"Tonight, I can give him to you."

Nie Shuying was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she was stunned!

……

Coming to the door, Xu Yuan saw a white woman in a suit.

The smart professional attire looks very formal, and it can be seen from the logo on the briefcase on her hand, Xu Yuan, that she is from the Dele Les Mines construction company.

At present, the infrastructure renovation and tourism resource development projects in the Lucas Islands are all carried out by the staff of Dele Les Mills Architects.

As for the purpose of her trip, Xu Yuan could roughly guess that most of them were here to ask for money.

It is a shame to say that according to the project contract, the tenderer should pay for this phase of the project every time the construction party completes the first phase of the project.

However, because Xu Yuan was not here, he naturally couldn't sign the payment form, so the payment has been delayed until now.

Finally catching the news of Xu Yuan's return, Delaimei Construction Company naturally immediately sent a salesman, hoping to solve the problem of project payment as soon as possible.

Although active technology guarantees, they are not afraid that Xu Yuan will hack their money, but the project money has been dragging on their capital chain, which is a big test.

After seeing Xu Yuan come out, the white lady introduced herself very politely: "Hello, Mr. Xu Yuan, I am Rita Wilson, and I am the manager of the European headquarters of Dele Matrix Construction Company. ”

"Come in and talk about it." Xu Yuan smiled and made a gesture of please.

Rita nodded and walked through the courtyard gate of the villa.

After inviting her into the villa, the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Liu Ling poured a cold drink for the two very intimately.

Without further greetings, Rita skillfully took out the document from her briefcase and handed it to Xu Yuan.

"At present, the development of tourist areas and infrastructure in the Lucas Islands has been carried out at 50%, and it is expected to be completed in December this year, according to the contract, we have completed two phases of the project, I wonder if it is convenient for you to pay for the two phases of the project first?"

Xu Yuan just picked up the document and glanced at it twice, and then said casually: "Of course it's convenient, bring the payment slip." ”

Rita had a look of joy on her face, and hurriedly handed over the payment slip that had been prepared long ago.

Seeing that Xu Yuan signed smoothly, Hannah's hanging heart finally relaxed.

To be honest, she was really afraid that Yuan International would default on the project payment, and she had made all kinds of plans before she came, and even prepared no less than 100 sets of arguments for how to persuade the financier to pay.

However, the final result was beyond her expectations, Xu Yuan paid the money so easily, as if what he had signed out just now was not billions, but just a restaurant bill.

"I'm ashamed to say that. Before we came, we thought you were going to hide from our dunning, and I'm sorry for my rude speculation. ”

With that, Rita stood up and bowed to Xu Yuan.

"It's okay." Xu Yuan waved his hand indifferently, and then suddenly said, "By the way, can I inquire about something?" ”

"Speak, please." Rita looked directly into Xu Yuan's eyes.

"Do you have any experience with island building?"

Although the Lucas Islands have a vast sea, the land area has always been tight.

Although it still seems to be a little sparsely populated now, it is only because the current population is only 50,000, once the immigration policy is relaxed, without affecting the tourism resources, Xu Yuan estimates that he will be able to fill up with more than 200,000 people.

This land resource is really not enough for Xu Yuan's next plan, so he asked this question.

"Of course, our company's business scope includes land reclamation and shallow sea island reclamation projects." Rita smiled.

"If I wanted to build an artificial island south of the main island near the equator, how much would it cost?" Xu Yuan asked with interest.

"South of the main island?" Rita was obviously stunned, Xu Yuan's question was beyond her expectations.

"Any questions?" Seeing Rita's reaction, Xu Yuan frowned.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sea south of the main island should be the deep sea, and artificial island building is generally carried out in shallow waters, or it is also based on natural reefs, and the amount of sand and gravel needed to build islands in the deep sea will be astronomical." Rita explained.

"Wouldn't it be better to build a floating island? It's like a giant aircraft carrier. Xu Yuan asked a little unwillingly.

"Floating?" Rita smiled and shook her head, "Didn't that one wave just blow away?" ”

"Then use something like a steel rope to hold the floating island to the bottom of the sea, like an anchor." Xu Yuan asked.

Rita shook her head again, "Impossible, if it is a small island, no steel cable can withstand such a terrifying pull, and even if such a steel cable exists, the material of the island itself is a problem." It's like a square kilometer of steel plate thrown on the surface of the water, and it won't take a year to be torn apart by the tidal forces, and unless you make this island out of titanium, I can't think of a more suitable material. ”

Titanium alloy is 42% lighter than iron, and the mechanical strength is twice as large as pure iron, from an objective point of view, titanium alloy is indeed an ideal material for building floating islands, but the cost, that will be an astronomical amount!

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan sighed and said.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to think about it again."

"I'm sorry I can't help you much." Rita said apologetically.

Although Delemy said that there was nothing to be done, Xu Yuan did not give up.

What can't be done on Earth, but it's not necessarily difficult to do in the source star.

After sending Rita out of the door, Xu Yuan returned to the gym, and the discussion with Nie Shuying about the virtual helmet just now was interrupted in the middle of the discussion, and now it was time to continue.

But when he entered the door, he saw Nie Shuying lying on the recliner with a helmet.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan did not wake her up, but helped her gently close the door.

"Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to do something?"

At some point, Liu Ling walked behind him and reached out to hug him gently.

"I'm not a pervert." Xu Yuan said embarrassedly.

When wearing a virtual helmet, the five senses of the outside world are closed, and the safety mechanism will not be triggered unless there is a high temperature or obvious displacement in the user's surrounding environment.

That's why it's important to wear a helmet in private, even if you're groping.

"I didn't say it was to her." Liu Ling bent the corners of his mouth slightly.

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then turned around. In Liu Ling's soft call, he hugged her horizontally, and then resisted on his shoulder.

"Yo? It's really getting more and more naughty, and you dare to take my words. ”

"Yikes,"

Struggling to hook up the dangling calves, feeling the strong arms, Liu Ling's throat let out a soft thump.

Turning her head, she looked at Liu Ling with innocent eyes, "I just want to help you, and her." ”

Because of the twisting of his shoulders, a cool touch swept over the side of his face from time to time. For a while, Xu Yuan was also a little distracted.

"Oh? What do you say? Xu Yuan smiled evilly.

"I told her tonight, let it be for you." Liu Ling said timidly, his eyes drifting to the gym from time to time, for fear that Nie Shuying would wake up from a deep sleep and see the embarrassment on her body at this moment.

Although it is not that she cannot break free from Xu Yuan's shackles, there is no concept of rebellion against Xu Yuan in her concept.

After hearing Liu Ling's words, Xu Yuan's face was suddenly full of black lines, where is this help, it is purely a help.

"Can you let me down, can you be like this when no one is around?" Liu Ling whispered.

"No, I'm going to punish you."

Xu Yuan smiled evilly, ignored her pleas for mercy, and walked towards the gym without saying a word.

As the so-called words and deeds teach, corporal punishment naturally has to be in front of people, isn't it? Anyway, in a short period of time, Nie Shuying shouldn't be able to wake up.

It's just a little exciting, and I don't know if Liu Ling will accidentally shout it out later?

Then shut her mouth.

It's just right, it's been a long time since I've tried to play like that.
