“I will assure her that even if she’s the only one on that flight to the Moon, I will still launch as scheduled; even if it means by the time she wakes up from the Hibernation Pod and her illness is cured, I am no longer here, our Space-T company will always honor that ticket.”
“Wow.”
The female secretary exclaimed, nodding slightly and took a pen to write down on the folder before saying:
“What about the second consideration?”
“The second point...
is a bit more pessimistic.”
Jask turned his head, looking at the female secretary:
“I’m afraid that Zheng Xiangyue’s heart might not hold up and she could die before having the chance to enter a Hibernation Pod...
In that case, there’s really nothing we can do.
She wouldn’t have lived to see our spacecraft land on the Moon, nor the Hibernation Pods enter mass production and be put to use.”
“That’s the saddest scenario and the one I least want to see...
But what if we consider the worst-case scenario and it actually happens?”
“Although I’ll be helpless, I believe that if that really happens, I’ll be consumed with regret for not having personally delivered that ticket to the Moon to Zheng Xiangyue’s hands.
So, just in case, during this trip to China, I intend to personally meet with Zheng Xiangyue.”
“After all, I want to encourage her, give her the motivation to believe that as long as she fights her illness, she can one day go to the Moon and fulfill her wish.
Just like her name, Zheng Xiangyue...
...
What a simple, beautiful, and unforgettable name that is...
Don’t you think?”
The female secretary swiftly noted down this itinerary on the folder, then looked up:
“I’ve got that noted.
I’ll arrange it.
Is there anything else?”
“It can’t be...
you sent me a message so far in advance, asking me to come to such a high Scenic Iron Tower, just for this trivial matter, can it?”
Hehehe...
Jask began to smile, shaking his head with a smug look:
“Of course, it’s not just this little matter; there’s something more important.
But before that...”
Jask stretched out his finger, pointing at the female secretary’s left shin:
“Your stocking is torn.”@@@@
“Ah?”
The female secretary gasped, hastily looked down at her left shin:
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Goodbye.”
He was just about to squeeze the trigger—
Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling!
A cell phone in the pocket of the female secretary rang at the most inopportune time, interrupting Jask’s execution.
Angelica, the one impersonating the female secretary, didn’t dare to move...
She didn’t even dare to lower her head to look at the ringing phone in her pocket.
Jask pursed his lips:
“Take it out.”
He said tersely.
Angelica obediently took out two cell phones from her pocket.
One was the real female secretary’s phone.
The other, the one that was ringing, was her own phone.
She took the opportunity to glance at the phone screen to see the calling number.
It was a completely unknown number.
Not Lin Xian, nor anyone else she knew.
Jask took the phone, pressed the answer button, and held it to his ear.
“Jask...”
He hadn’t expected it!
An old man’s voice came through, addressing him by his name!
Jask narrowed his eyes, retreating half a step into the Scenic Iron Tower:
“Who are you?”
The man on the phone cleared his throat:
“Let her go...
Jask, do me a favor.”
“Hahahaha!”
Jask laughed:
“It seems no one has that much influence.
Tell me your name, so I can see if your face carries enough weight.”
On the phone, the old man chuckled dryly, his voice hoarse:
“I am...
[Copernicus]!”
