Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 851 - 545 Emergency Cancellation_2

After using the equipment, they also needed to store it in their own warehouse, away from unauthorized hands.

That’s why Feng Yi had made it clear from the start that he intended to buy the devices, not rent them.

Only what belonged to him could be dealt with without limitations.

However, Andrei didn’t take any payment for these items; he gifted them to Feng Yi.

And now, this act of giving deepened everyone’s suspicions about Andrei.

Hmm, I wonder if Andrei regrets it.

After Feng Yi finished his business, he specifically went to have afternoon tea with Andrei.

Andrei’s current state of health meant he couldn’t drink alcohol, so to accommodate him, they drank a type of health tea.

But evidently, the health tea didn’t help Andrei stabilize his emotions.

He felt wronged carrying this black mark, and yet not quite wronged.

After all, his intentions hadn’t been entirely noble.

But on the surface, Andrei still appeared quite aggrieved and indignant.

In his wheelchair with a frail and wasted body, he took oxygen and vehemently berated Feng Yi for the trouble his visit had caused, exclaiming, "People misunderstand me too deeply, I didn’t encourage you to risk your life, I’m not that kind of a villain!"

Feng Yi was quite helpless and sincerely apologetic, promising to include an extra, latest-type medicine when Andrei made a purchase.

Andrei was quite satisfied with the promise of a buy one, get one deal. Having purchased medicine for many years, Andrei had more interactions with Yue Gongyang and knew well his stinginess. He also knew that the top-grade medicines from Ancestral Factory were indeed very difficult to produce, and the quantities were limited.

Now, Feng Yi promised to add an extra dose as compensation and in gratitude for the gifted equipment from Andrei.

Andrei couldn’t say he was completely satisfied with the transaction, but he thought it was acceptable.

He had a nagging feeling that the people of Ancestral Factory, especially Yue Gongyang, were upto something. Not necessarily against him.

So Andrei thought, it’s best to take whatever benefits were available first. At least Feng Yi’s promise had calmed his resentment. As for everything else, that would be dealt with later.

After Feng Yi left, Andrei sat in his wheelchair, took a few breaths of oxygen, and slowly picked up a cup of health tea, sipping it gently. His gaze was unfocused, slightly lost in thought.

A moment later, he said to his assistant, "What do you think of Feng Yi as a person?"

The assistant beside him respectfully took the tea cup, but didn’t respond, knowing Andrei did not actually seek an answer.

Andrei continued, "I always feel he’s a contradiction. Sometimes I think he’s simple-minded, at other times I find him deeply unsettling and terrifying."

He initially thought Feng Yi would be easier to handle than Yue Gongyang, but he increasingly felt the young man was much more difficult to deal with than Yue Gongyang!

Thinking of Feng Yi’s recent promise, Andrei tapped the arm of his wheelchair lightly, "Was the kid just putting on an act?"

Andrei suspected Feng Yi was playing him.

Feng Yi...was indeed acting.

The promise Feng Yi made to Andrei had been arranged with Yue Gongyang in advance.

In some ways, Andrei was indeed a good collaborator, and his space exploration plan might prove useful to Feng Yi in the future, as well as beneficial to the development of Ancestral Factory.

During their discussions, Yue Gongyang fully demonstrated his ruthless side as a businessman:

"Andrei is easy to get along with once you figure out his temperament, and collaboration is smooth. It’s a pity he’s so bent on courting death, ruining his own health, yet he doesn’t stop there. Not even the most advanced medicine can halt his march towards self-destruction.

"Eventually, one day not too far in the future, he will leave this world, leaving behind astonishing engineering projects, completed or in progress. His offspring are mediocre and won’t be able to shoulder his vast enterprises. By then..."

Yue Gongyang: As for us at Ancestral Factory, our focus is on medical business for now. But who knows about the future; space engineering might be a good choice.

Multiple medical experiments in space have already made astounding breakthroughs. Many of our peers are looking to the skies, and of course, we at Ancestral Factory would not give up on that frontier.

For now, we just have to keep a low profile, as Ancestral Factory is drawing too much attention.

Once the equipment retrieval was complete and all the affairs were settled, Feng Yi was ready to head back home.

During this time, he had also been keeping a close watch on the meteorological developments back home.

A new round of typhoons was soon to reach the southeast of our country.

Project Butterfly’s large scale model had already predicted it. Without intervention, it would develop into a strong typhoon and make landfall in somewhere in the southeast of our country.

However, it was selected as an offshore experimental target.

Now, discussions about Feng Yi on the internet within the country had greatly diminished. Everyone was talking about the upcoming spectacle!

The predicted landing sites, several cities or small towns, had hotels booked out instantaneously by people heading there to witness the spectacle.

Having longed for it on video streams, the sensory experience of watching live was naturally different!

Many young people had already listed it as "a must-see phenomenon in their lifetime."

Those who earned through traffic were certainly not going to miss out on this fresh and hot "feast."

Airports, train stations, highways, the movement was in progress.

People from all over were flocking to the same location.

Scrambling for tickets, booking hotels, shooting videos, live streaming, a new wave of excitement was rising.

But based on the latest news Feng Yi had heard, whether the experiment would proceed was not yet finally decided.
