Sky-cracking Rider

"Huh?" The Vice President facing off with Old Shen paused, then questioned, "Secretary Shen, where did you get this information? This is a meeting room; we don't accept hearsay or rumors." "This information comes from one of the parties involved; it's completely reliable." Whether Old Dad could survive this ordeal, Teacher Shen had placed all his bets on Chen Xiao'er. "Who?" The Vice President was startled again and didn't respond immediately. The others in the meeting room did respond, immediately causing quite a stir. "Firing people, what does that mean?" "Failing to achieve their goal and then cutting off the tail to pass the buck, they're really decisive!" "Decisive? No, ruthless, with such a small mindset, who would sacrifice themselves for them in the future!" "…" The meeting room, which was already fraught with confrontation, now became even more chaotic. The Vice President, who had been targeting Shen Songling from the start of the meeting, loudly said, "Please, quiet down, I still want to hear Secretary Shen's answer." Finally, the meeting room calmed down. "It's Chen Fei, Chen Fei just told me, his uncle is Chen Haiqing, the chairman of National Defense Star." Chen Fei's kinship with the chairman of National Defense Star was no secret, so Shen Fei could disclose it openly. "It's that guy again, are you sure this isn't some kind of plot?" The Vice President still refused to believe it. To favor their own kin and dismiss loyal subordinates, from any perspective, wouldn't that be an unwise leader? If that were really the case, how could National Defense Star Aerospace Company have possibly grown to rival the historically long-standing Northern Weapons Industry Group? It would be a complete joke! "Chen Fei hasn't worked for National Defense Star, not from the start!" Shen Fei really was qualified to make this statement. Having just completed his undergraduate studies, Chen Fei traveled all the way to the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area; before reporting to the 911 Aircrew Base, his first stop was at the Patan Mountain Area Elementary School, which she managed. Even if he really was connected to National Defense Star, why would he need to go to an aircrew base surrounded by barren mountains and treacherous waters? There were better places elsewhere. "Can you ask him to come here? I need to confront him in person!" The Vice President, eager for an opportunity to trouble Shen Songling, truly spared no effort up to this critical moment. "He… is outside!" Shen Fei hesitated for a moment; this was truly a coincidence. The Vice President glanced at both the silent chairman and general manager, then resolutely said, "Then quickly have him come over!" The two big bosses rarely made their stances clear, but once they spoke, the decision would be final. "Okay!" Shen Fei was very aware that at this critical juncture, the only person who could help her father turn the situation around was Chen Fei. She immediately dialed the number. - "Chen Fei, what are you doing here?" Having just dealt with the richies in the exhibition area, Young Master Nangong, feeling nearly drained, suddenly saw Chen Fei sitting in front of the campsite gate and sharply snapped at him. On such a tense and crucial moment, he dared to show up proactively, wasn't he afraid of being caught by the Northern Weapons Industry Group's security? You'd think the company executives were nearly at each other's throats because of him. Even the "Canglong" project team could smell the strong scent of gunpowder from above. "I came to borrow some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and some ginger garlic for these three fish. I'm preparing them for dinner; are you coming to have some fish?" Chen Fei gestured to three large fish at his feet; the doorman, being kind, had placed some plastic sheets under them to keep off the ground sand. With such hot weather, if he didn't handle them quickly, they would probably start to stink soon. A few flies drawn by the smell of the fish started to gather, but as soon as they got close, they became snacks for the Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu. In just that short while, more than a dozen fat flies ended up in Xiao Jiu's crop. "Where did you get these fish?" Nangong Ruiyang's mouth twitched, this surname Chen really knew how to cause a stir, procuring three big fish out of nowhere – wouldn't it have been nicer to just go eat at a restaurant? "A bit far from here, it's a large lake. Some kind person lent me a rod; the fish in the lake are particularly dumb. On my first cast, I forgot to bait the hook, and they dared to bite it anyway, and then whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, I hooked two more, then I came back." Chen Fei gestured in the direction and succinctly introduced the origin of the fish. Nangong Ruiyang felt he was also foolish to talk so much with him, and immediately said in irritation, "You'd better hurry up and go. If someone sees you, you won't be able to leave." Now that the Northern Weapons Industry Group and National Defense Star Aerospace Company were at odds again, the situation was so tense that even the employees had just had a fight, causing quite a stir. Chen Fei, as one of the catalysts for this sudden incident, boldly sat there. Did he have nerve, or perhaps nerve, maybe even nerve? If it had been Nangong Ruiyang himself, he probably would have longed to find a secluded place to hide and avoid the immediate scrutiny. At that moment, Chen Fei's phone started ringing, and the caller was Teacher Shen Fei. "Hey, Chen Fei, come to the conference room, it's on the fourth floor to the left of the entrance, someone will meet you there," "May I come in? However, I need to stop by the canteen first." At the entrance of the camp, Chen Fei immediately spotted the building where the conference room was located. "Then hurry up!" Shen Fei remembered the main reason Chen Fei had been summoned. "Alright!" After hanging up, he turned to face Young Master Nangong, who was growing increasingly impatient, and with a spread of his hands, said, "I can't get away!" "Eh?" Nangong Ruiyang's facial expression gradually lost control. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you! - After dropping off three big fish at the canteen and asking the master chefs to handle them, Chen Fei washed his hands and headed to the conference room floor. Upon entering the conference room, he sensed a peculiar atmosphere in the air. It was quite easy to guess the current predicament of Uncle Shen. The two industry giants were already competitors, and the rash actions of small players could easily become a spark that escalates disputes. Coincidentally, Chen Fei had successfully borrowed the "Canglong" shell from Northern Weapons Industry. If it were just the shell, it might have been okay, but once it's publicly displayed, the secrets of the aerodynamic design could no longer be kept. To make matters worse, Chen Fei had allowed this shell to fly and had won a duel. If the subsequent events hadn't occurred, there would have been no escalation of confrontation between Northern Weapons Industry and National Defense Star. Ironically, a design team leader trying to make his name collided head-on into this situation, and although he achieved nothing, manipulative individuals took it and ran with it, creating irretrievable complications. "Shen Fei, Uncle!" Chen Fei greeted the two people he knew first. "Little Chen, come, sit here!" Shen Songling waved him over. Keeping his daughter away from him previously was one thing, showing closeness now was another. Both parties were now grasshoppers on the same string, and further division might provide an opportunity for others. "Chen Fei, let me introduce you, this is the chairman of Northern Weapons Industry Group…" Secretary Shen Fei was very competent, and immediately went through the names and positions of everyone in the conference room for Chen Fei. "Greetings, distinguished leaders!" Instead of greeting each person individually, Chen Fei bowed respectfully to everyone present. The vice president surnamed Liu, who was pressing Shen Songling, waited for the introductions to finish and Chen Fei to sit down before immediately and unapologetically asking, "So to get to the point, Little Chen, did you borrow the 'Canglong' advanced fighter from the exhibition spot to spy on National Defense Star's core secrets of Canglong?" Chen Fei was taken aback and puzzled, said, "You mean that shell contains the secrets of 'Canglong'?" Before being placed in the exhibition spot, the aerodynamic design was indeed a secret, but after being publicly displayed, it could no longer be considered a secret, especially since Northern Weapons Industry Group put it there themselves. "..." Goodness, it was like the first move of Tai Chi "the defensive slap," Chen Fei's response caught Vice President Liu somewhat off guard. The conference room was silent, and Shen Songling slightly raised the corners of his mouth, unable to conceal a trace of amusement. Emphasizing the secrecy at this point was simply making a fool of oneself. "Are you working for National Defense Star?" Vice President Liu was not going to let Chen Fei off easily, looking for a breakthrough from him. "My contract is with Jiu Defense Company, do you know what 'Jiu' is?" Chen Fei pointed to the Little Bird that had somehow hopped onto Shen Fei's hand. "Jiu!" Realizing that Chen Fei was pointing at itself, the Little Bird crowed proudly. Now everyone knew that this military contractor's odd company name was actually derived from this little bird. Such a small creature was even the company's mascot. Chen Fei's words also proved that he had no ties whatsoever with National Defense Star. His relation to Uncle Chen Haiqing was by blood, but there was absolutely no familial connection to National Defense Star; public matters remained public, private matters private. Besides, the shares of National Defense Star weren't solely held by his uncle; there were several other shareholders, and it had even less to do with the Chen Family Gate. "Then can you tell me, where did the internal design of the 'Canglong' you brought out come from?" After failing twice in his probing attempts, Vice President Liu kept pressing, truly cornering him this time. "The 'Canglong' shell and the flying 'Canglong' are two different things." "It came from..." Even Shen Songling couldn't help but prickle his ears at this moment.
