Chapter 69: Scheming

That night, Washington, D.C., Kellogg Conference Hotel.

This is where NASA hosts a welcome dinner. The meeting included key NASA officials, as well as scientists from different countries or social organizations around the world.

The welcome dinner did take a lot of thought, and the first place to choose was very elegant and secluded.

The lighting used in the banquet hall is also very distinctive, with candles dotted among the many crystal chandeliers.

The food at the dinner party is also carefully prepared, with good color and taste, and its taste is endless.

First of all, Steven, the current administrator of NASA, made a heart-wrenching opening speech on the theme of NASA's mission to explore the universe.

Yuan Haochen and Durunik didn't seem to care much about what the bureau chief said, and when he finished speaking, as soon as the symphony sounded, they quickly began to eat and drink.

"How's that, Yankee, it tastes good." Before he could fully swallow the food in his mouth, he shouted at Yuan Chen.

"It's really better than the food at the IEA's Pacific base." Yuan Haochen responded while feasting.

Halfway through the meal, NASA officials began to move around.

Not only NASA officials, but also scientists from many countries and organizations want to take this opportunity to get to know each other and build relationships.

After a while, the atmosphere of the dinner became more and more enthusiastic.

In particular, NASA's Director Steven and several important officials toasted and patted horses, and there was an endless stream of people seeking to know them, like a carp crossing the river.

On the contrary, Yuan Haochen looks particularly deserted here, I think it is because of a young Chinese face, everyone thinks he is just an insignificant little potato.

However, Yuan Haochen happened to be happy and quiet. Actually, as a scientist in an IEA organization, you don't need much aura.

Two-thirds of the way through the dinner, Director Steven and the others happened to come to the area where Yuan Chen and Durunik were.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Washington." Director Steven raised his glass and looked around at the crowd as he spoke.

Yuan Haochen also picked up the wine glass with everyone and carefully observed Director Steven.

Director Steven looked extremely calm, and his face became more and more ruddy as he drank a glass of wine.

However, during this time, not to mention Director Steven, even other NASA members have never had any communication with Hara and Trunik.

However, the old fox also showed its tail, and the moment Director Steven turned to leave, Yuan Haochen was extremely keen to catch a glimmer of eyes passing over him and Durunik.

Yuan Haochen has always turned a blind eye to Director Steven's departure, but Durunike is a little resentful.

Suddenly, Thomas walked up to Director Steven, and the two began to talk in a low voice as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Haochen adjusted his sitting position slightly, and used his amazing hearing to catch the subtle conversations of the bureau chiefs.

"We must first get the information on nuclear power, which is very important for the development of our space technology."

"No problem, let's calm down and cool these two young people first."

"Presumably they're going to be in a hurry"

Hearing this, Yuan Haochen naturally understood NASA's wishful thinking.

This is a common method in business negotiations, whoever is in a hurry first will be more likely to show the bottom, and eventually lose the initiative in negotiations and transactions and pay a greater price.

Thomas must have hoped that Yuan Haochen would take the initiative to talk to him about the exchange of information, and then put on an indifferent face, and when Yuan Haochen was in a hurry, he would hand over the information to him first. When the IEA's information is in hand, it is difficult to say when the information on the Mars landing will be given, and whether it will be given at all.

However, Yuan Haochen still doesn't understand a little, obviously IEA and NASA have already negotiated, why NASA still has to play some tricks when the matter is coming.

However, for Yuan Haochen, as long as it is determined that this information is crucial to NASA, this is enough.

"Forget it, since you want to play, I'll play with you." Yuan Haochen thought of this, and made up his mind in his heart.

"Durunik." Yuan Haochen patted Durunik on the shoulder and continued, "Why do I think tomorrow's exchange will sound so boring? "I think so, we're not here for a meeting." Durunik nodded in agreement.

"Yankee, didn't you say that when you come to the United States, you will definitely treat me well and let me see the real paradise on earth?" Yuan Haochen said with a smile.

"Of course!" Trunik was immediately on his way.

"Tell me, where is heaven?"

"Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, ha~ha~ha." Speaking of this, Durunik laughed lewdly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

"WHAT? Washington to Las Vegas? Durunik said incredulously.

"That's right, right now, isn't there a Yankee like you as a tour guide?" Yuan Haochen replied firmly

"Why are they gone, isn't the banquet still over?" Director Steven asked not so calmly.

"Someone saw them leave by car, maybe they went back to the hotel to rest first." Thomas said helplessly.
