Chapter 08

작가: Lord Leaf
The next morning, Claire brought the file filled with proposals that she had prepared overnight and went to the Emgrand Group office with Charlie.

Standing in front of the 100-story building, Claire suddenly felt as if her heart was hollow and empty.

How could such a magnificent company like Emgrand collaborate with the Wilson family? Not to mention that they were aiming for a thirty million dollars deal.

It was like a beggar approaching a wealthy man and asking for a thirty million dollar change. It was absolutely ridiculous.

However, she had promised her grandmother and accepted the challenge in front of everyone, so she had to go for it no matter what…

Sensing her anxiety, Charlie stroked her head tenderly and said, “Dear, don’t worry, go ahead, you’ll make it. Trust me.”

Claire sighed dejectedly and murmured, “Alright, let’s hope so! Wait for me here.”

She took a deep breath and walked through the door.

As he watched her walking in, Charlie took out his phone and called Doris.

“Doris, my wife is going up to see you as we speak. You should know what to do!”

“Yes, Mr. Wade. Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill your missus’s every request.”

“By the way, I heard that Emgrand Group has a rather close connection with the Jones family. Is that true?”

“Yes, we did have a lot of projects with them, completed and ongoing. They wish to collaborate with us again on this new megaproject and they’ve submitted the proposals and materials for my review. However, it is up to you to decide, Mr. Wade.”

Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want the Jones family to be involved in the new project and any other projects in the future.”

“Yes, sure. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say!”

***

Meanwhile, Claire walked into Emgrand Group’s office building and waited for her appointment at the front desk. She didn’t even know if Doris Young, the company’s vice-chairman, would like to see her.

Not long after, a graceful female assistant approached her and began, “Hi, are you Miss Claire Wilson? Miss Young is waiting for you in her office, please follow me.”

Claire nodded in a trance. She was still waiting in line to make an appointment, how did Miss Young know she was here and call her in already?

Could it be that Doris Young knew she was coming?

It didn’t make sense though…how could a prominent individual like Doris Young know about her?

Although she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well grab the rare opportunity as she was given. She quickly followed the assistant and she was escorted directly to Doris’s office.

Doris stood up from her chair and greeted Claire respectfully. “Hi, Miss Wilson, I’m Doris Young, vice chairman of Emgrand Group, nice meeting you.”

Claire was a little nervous as she met the most famous businesswoman in Aurous Hill. She spoke, her voice trembling anxiously but staying calm, “Hello, Miss Young, thank you for seeing me. I’m here to talk to you about the hotel project. Although Wilson Group is not as strong and prominent as other companies, I can assure you that we work very hard and have established a very positive reputation in the interior design and decoration industry!”

She handed over a document file and continued, “Miss Young, this is Wilson Group’s portfolio, please have a look.”

Doris smiled gently and took the document from her. After a brief glance, she said immediately, “Miss Wilson, I’ve seen your documents, I think you are the perfect partner for us.”

“Really? Is it true?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. Why did it go so quickly and smoothly? It was a little too easy, wasn’t it?

Doris said with a smile, “Of course. I admit that Wilson Group does not match our requirements and qualifications, but our chairman thinks highly of you and he is willing to give it a shot.”

“Your chairman?” Claire said in a shocking tone, then asked, “May I know who your chairman is? ”

Doris smiled faintly. “Our chairman is Mr. Wade from Eastcliff.”

“Mr. Wade?”

Claire frowned in confusion. “I don’t think I know anyone by the last name of Wade except for my husband.”

Doris nodded gently. Charlie had ordered her not to disclose his identity, so she could only say that much.

Other than Charlie Wade, Claire didn’t know anyone by the last name of Wade, but she would never have guessed that her useless husband, who was an orphan, would be the Mr. Wade that Doris was referring to.

Then, Doris added, “Miss Wilson, I see in your proposal that your quotation for the agreement is thirty million dollars?”

Claire nodded anxiously and asked timidly, “Is it too much?”

Doris smiled and answered, “Oh no, it is actually less than what we have budgeted for.”

Claire furrowed curiously. “What do you mean?”

“Our chairman told me to increase the quotation to sixty million dollars.”

In the middle of the conversation, Doris retrieved a contract and handed it to Claire. “Look, we’ve drafted the contract in advance for a total of sixty million dollars. If you have no problem with it, we can sign the contract now.”

“Huh? This…”

Claire gaped, dumbfounded.

She had never expected that Emgrand Group, which seemed so unreachable from Wilson Group’s perspective, would prepare the contract beforehand!

Moreover, the amount had doubled!

Grandma’s goal for the project was 30 million dollars, but the contract literally stated 60 million dollars in black and white!

Suddenly, she recalled her husband’s serious and earnest face when he had asked her to accept the task at the family meeting the previous night.

Why was he so confident?

When they were at Emgrand Group’s entrance, she was very doubtful and pessimistic, but he seemed so positive and undaunted.

Could it be that he had known the outcome all along?

Who was he...

    Kohei replied, "Well, mainly by airdropping special forces and military hardware. If the situation calls for it, they could even drop lightly armored vehicles here, while their bomber aircraft and artillery can bombard specific locations from another continent with almost pinpoint precision, and keep bombing it around the clock.""Fuck," Barlin muttered in exasperation.And here he thought he just became the king of this continent, only to be told that foreign forces can come and go as they please.And since there's almost no chance of convincing the Japanese military to deliver aviation kerosene, that means the helicopter is grounded for all intents and purposes… unless?Having yet another bright idea, Barlin blurted, "Alright, if banditry is a no go, then we can do it quietly, yes? So tell me, which country has the biggest research crew team on the continent? Just tell me and I'll head over, control their minds and steal all their fuel and supplies… Perhaps even make them assist

    Despite having plenty of questions in his head about the possibility of an Antarctic subterranean city, Charlie returned to the Norway research station.-Meanwhile, the Japanese fuel truck had already been filled with the required fuel load, and returned from the ship to the Japanese research base.Barlin, feeling interested in something else for once, stepped out of his Griffin Winter Manor. Standing in the central plaza, he looked around smugly and quietly mused to himself, "Having such a modern team is truly invaluable in this barren wasteland. It's just a pity we're still a bit short-handed, and we are certainly a modest force compared to the hundreds of thousands under the command of the Qing Eliminating Society."Kohei had been overseeing the fuel transfer. After checking the remaining fuel, he instructed the transport personnel in Japanese to pay close attention to the fuel safety warning line. Once the fuel level approached the warning line, they must set off for the res

    Merlin read through the translated conversion and quickly noticed certain points that should be taken notice.The Japanese research crew was searching in four different teams with different callsigns. Moreover, team one to three were ground teams, while team four was airborne.While that meant they were searching far and wide for something, there were plenty of mentions of a hidden city, while confirming through comms if the radar detected anything under the ice.As he promptly fed Charlie the information, Charlie quickly pieced together everything and realized that they were scanning the ice caps for a city under the ice.Logically speaking, these ice caps formed long before human civilization. Even with modern technology, humans can't build a subterranean city beneath the ice caps just yet, so that was even less likely for the ancients.Charlie was hence convinced that the ancients were most likely just going to die here without sufficient equipment and supplies… when he suddenl

    Everyone working on this research vessel was an academic.In fact, Heiji himself didn't merely have professional certifications in nautical technology, but also in maritime electrical engineering—that meant he had a thorough understanding of all equipment on the ship.Moreover, Charlie's request wasn't all that difficult. They simply had to remove the standard communication module from the transport vehicle, install a Starlink system and connect it to the designated IP.And for Heiji, that was a walk in the park.So, when the fuel truck arrived, Heiji took advantage of the two-hour wait for fuel delivery by sending the crew away and modifying the module accordingly.The vehicle's GPS module was itself a simple, plug-and-play unit. Once turned on, it swiftly searched for GPS satellites, acquiring coordinates and then pushing the real-time coordinates to the data interface five times per second.Any device in the car that needed GPS coordinates could directly tap into this data int

    Charlie then remembered. "That reminds me. When will personnel from the research base come back?"Heiji thought about it. "There is a fuel transport team that comes and goes, maybe a couple of days to move fuel. They should arrive in another two or three hours."The research station's fuel consumption was enormous. Even during the Antarctic summer, their research station had burned through their reserves to this degree. In fact, despite having such a big crew, the research team members were never this busy either.Currently, almost all vehicles and helicopters were operating continuously outdoors. Radar scanning required a large amount of electricity, so the internal combustion engines on these vehicles and aircraft consumed an additional amount of fuel for power.In the Antarctic winter, the Japanese research helicopters were equipped with ice radar and consumed approximately two tons of fuel per hour—truly fuel guzzlers.And to ensure operations continued without interruption, t

    To Charlie's knowledge, the only benefit the South Pole had for cultivators was to stay away from the hustle and bustle of modern society—nothing else.Moreover, even if it kept them free from the mundane, there were no rare herbs or natural treasures to help, be it for cultivation or for making pills.In fact, Charlie himself wouldn't be here if he weren't chasing after the aurora hand seals.However, since the elder of the Qing Eliminating Society had come in person and taken the entire Japanese expedition team as his slaves, he must be searching for some valuable treasure unknown to Charlie. For a moment, Charlie instinctively felt a surge of excitement. If there were truly something valuable in Antarctica, wouldn't it be a huge windfall if he could find it before the Qing Eliminating Society elder? But Charlie stopped himself, as he knew his limits. Even with Ruby and Penny combined, the three of them were no match for the elder of the Qing Eliminating Society. In fact,

    Shawn instantly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Charlie’s last request.At this time, he truly felt what it meant to survive a catastrophe.Since that was already the last thing that Charlie would be asking him to do, it meant that he had not only managed to keep his life, but he had also managed

    Marianne held back the tears in her pair of big eyes, and she looked at Charlie angrily. It seemed as if she wanted to say something, but she said nothing in the end. Shawn hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, “Marianne! Mr. Wade is talking to you! Why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up an

    Jenna, who was aside, smiled and said, “Oh, Shawn, your idea is really good. Mr. Wade must usually have his own businesses to attend to in Oskia, but he can definitely rest on weekends. Why don’t you buy the Halbert Mansion next door, renovate it, and give it to Mr. Wade? You can send a plane to pic

    Marianne felt a little exasperated as she said, “Kori, if you’re going to always be so immodest, it would be better for me to stay away from you in the future, then!” Kori pouted and asked her, “Marianne, why don’t you ask him to come out for a meal together when it’s convenient? I don’t have any ot
