After a moment of thought, Su Chen looked up and asked, "Elder Xiao, can I hold on to this request for now? I can’t think of what to ask for on the spot."
"Of course. Just let me know whenever you’ve thought of something!" This was within Elder Xiao’s expectations, as a request like this was far too valuable to be made lightly.
"GROWL~" Just then, a sound came from nearby. Su Chen followed it with his eyes and saw Xiao Chen rubbing his stomach, a little embarrassed as he chuckled.
"We got here after nine last night and still haven’t eaten," Xiao Chen hurriedly explained.
They had left in too much of a hurry yesterday to bring any food. On top of that, their visit was secret, so they hadn’t asked the cafeteria to arrange for meals.
Su Chen glanced at the time; it was already 6:45 a.m. ’The cafeteria should have breakfast ready by now,’ he thought.
"Elder Xiao, Brother Cheen, it’s not early anymore. Let’s go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. We can also arrange for someone to send some food over."
Neither Xiao Chen’s men nor Old Chen and his team of researchers had eaten yet. Besides, with the current lockdown, having food delivered was the only option.
He couldn’t just let all these people starve, after all.
Having rushed around all night, now that he had confirmed the truth about the controllable nuclear fusion, the tension Elder Xiao felt finally eased. He felt physically exhausted and just wanted to eat something and get a good sleep.
Su Chen promptly got behind the wheel of an electric cart and drove the two toward the main campus area. As they went, Elder Xiao began to take in the layout of the entire research base.
Beyond the research institutes, he could see several large factory buildings further back. He couldn’t make out the details, but he was surprised to see that the lights in those factories were still on.
He made a mental note of this.
As they arrived back at the main campus building, Su Chen saw Chen Fei and Xiao Peng standing by the entrance, smoking and chatting.
Seeing Su Chen’s party of three appear, the two immediately extinguished their cigarettes.
"Elder Xiao, Sir, Boss!"
As the electric cart came to a halt at the entrance, Chen Fei and Xiao Peng hurried forward to greet them.
