Chapter 1000: 1000
The 2019 Celestial Trade Outer Space Resource Development Plan was like a giant rock tossed into the middle of a quiet lake .
Investors from different countries flocked in along with the immigrants . Xin welcomed its third immigration wave, and the scale was far greater than the previous two waves, even surpassing the sum of the previous two .
More houses were being built in Celestial City, but the city still couldn’t catch up to the population growth .
With the increase in the development of space resources, new industries were born and new gadgets appeared in the market in this city floating around the synchronous orbit every day . Those who originally held a pessimistic view of the commercial value of the space elevator put down their dignity and poured into Xin .
Anyone could see the business opportunities and broad prospects .
If Xin was only an ideal immigrant country a year ago, it was now a paradise for immigrants .
Talents from all walks of life could find a suitable job in Celestial City, even if they didn’t know how to do anything before . After half a year of training in the Astronaut Training Center on Ange Island, they could even pilot a spacecraft on the geosynchronous orbit .
These immigrants were not only from Hua but also from the other side of the globe such as Canada, the United Kingdom, nearby Southeast Asia and distant Russia . Police drones helped to maintain order . These immigrants from all over the world didn’t ruin the security of Xin . Instead, they brought their culture to the new country and contributed to the diversification and compatibility of the country’s diverse culture .
It wasn’t just grassroots movement but also international capital .
After the development forum, private companies already had a taste of the opportunities available . With approval from their government, public institutions linked to the aerospace sector also joined in . They had begun to develop their own space technology with the help of the space elevator platform .
Everyone wanted to participate, and no one wanted to lag behind in the undeveloped space .
Zhang Yaping didn’t have time to feel bothered by election campaigns . Actions were always stronger than words . Celestial Trade took control of his election work and instead, he spent all day with the diplomats of different countries to obtain more benefits for Celestial Trade .
While he was busy, his days were quite enjoyable . He just attended the banquet of the Russian Embassy the day before . Today, he was chatting with the UA ambassador in a private hall .
On the evening of April 20th, a private jet landed at Moscow International Airport under the mask of night .
There was no grand ceremony and there were no crowded reporters, but the Kremlin welcomed this special and distinguished visitor with the highest diplomatic etiquette .
Surrounded by several burly and hairy men, Jiang Chen sat in a black long limousine . He couldn’t tell the name of the vehicle from the outside, but the lavishness inside made him think about purchasing one for himself . While pondering it, a security department agent had already respectfully opened the door for him .
Other than the Russian Foreign Minister, Jiang Chen also saw an unexpected person .
“Oh? You came to pick me up . I thought you were doing damage on the Russian border . ”
It was Natasha . She was wearing a lady’s suit, her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail and she looked quite formal . The only thing that wasn’t too “formal” was probably her bulging chest . Jiang Chen had only not seen her for half a month, yet he felt it already got bigger . The buttons on the white shirt seemed to be crying in agony, ready to explode at any second . But for some odd reason, her waist still looked so thin .
Eastern Europeans’ body proportions always amazed him .
Natasha didn’t care about Jiang Chen staring at her chest, but she expressed a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with his first sentence, and she retorted back, “Let me correct one point-intelligence gathering and causing destruction are two different things . Please don’t take the nature of my work and…”
“Ahem . ”
The Russian who was sitting directly across from him coughed, and Natasha quickly closed her mouth .
Jiang Chen sat next to Natasha and examined the man across from him . Of course, he knew the identity of the Foreign Minister . But what alerted him was that from his attitude, Natasha’s identity didn’t seem so simple either .
At least, unlike ordinary intelligence agents .
“Welcome to Moscow, Mr . Jiang . My full name is very long . According to the language habits of the Han people, you can call me Sminov . ” Unlike his burly appearance, the voice of Mr . Sminov was courteous, and his standard Mandarin was good enough for him to be an announcer . He seemed to be a natural at diplomacy .
“I am Jiang Chen . ”
Jiang Chen smiled, shook his hand, and began to chat .
The two didn’t discuss any work in the car and just chatted about all things . Sminov was an interesting person . While he didn’t talk much, he could talk about many topics . They discussed football, gold, then went on about fishing . Even if Sminov didn’t know some of the things, he could use clever language techniques to not make Jiang Chen feel bored .
And Natasha, sitting next to Jiang Chen, just felt invisible . Maybe it was because of her identity, but aside from her first sentence, she didn’t speak anymore .
It wasn’t until the car was parked at the door of a five-star hotel that Sminov mentioned the important affair .
“… In addition to the special security team of the Russian Security Service responsible for the peripheral work, on this trip in Moscow, Miss Natasha will be your security consultant . Whether it’s in life or work, if you encounter any inconveniences, you can consult her . ”
“Don’t be polite; this is my job . ” Natasha squeezed her eyebrows at Jiang Chen . It was the second sentence she said .
“Don’t worry . I won’t be polite with you . ”
You’ve been drinking and eating at my house for so long . If I don’t bother you, I’ll be missing out on an opportunity big time!
Natasha grinned . Jiang Chen then looked at Sminov again . “I don’t know when you’re going to start the official discussion with us; I’m free any time, but I hope it’s not too late . ”
“In three days at the latest . We will arrange for you to meet with an important person as soon as possible . It’s because he’s currently on the front lines and can’t come back immediately; I hope you can understand,” Sminov replied .
“No hurry . I will stay here for a while; I’m always free . ”
After a few words, Sminov said goodbye to Jiang Chen .
Accompanied by Natasha and security personnel, Jiang Chen stepped into this five-star hotel . However, at the door of the presidential suite where he was staying, only Natasha followed behind him .
Jiang Chen took off his suit and tossed the tie aside . He then languidly took some champagne from the fridge and nonchalantly asked Natasha, “Can you tell me what you’re planning to discuss with me?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know the exact details . This is top secret… I can only reveal one point and it’s related to the situation in Europe . ”
Jiang Chen nodded and didn’t make it difficult for Natasha .
He then headed to the bathroom door . As he was about to take off his clothes to take a shower, he suddenly stopped and looked at Natasha on the sofa .
“I’m going to rest soon . You’re not going back to your room?”
She was amused by Jiang Chen and her bright red lips grinned . Natasha was leaning on the sofa drinking and didn’t have intentions to move at all . She gracefully crossed her legs .
“My room? It’s here . ”
