Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 53 NO.0035: Reasonable

Jiang Zhou accepted the proposal almost without thinking.

There is nothing to say about this, I am busy now, for only one thing - to escape from the prison of Tartarus.

And the other party directly took this as a condition, so he had no reason not to agree.

Fanny's condition also caused everyone in the meeting room to fall silent.

There may be some surprise emotions, but more of them are dignified.

After all, her "sincerity", if you put it another way, it is not bad for the hostages in her hands.

It was Booker who broke the silence first:

"I remember your company's publicity at the time was that all captured Icarus members were executed."

"The former person in charge had this plan at the beginning, but I stopped him. All the pictures released were technically synthesized."

Fanny answered.

"Then how many captives are in your hands now?"

The leader of the intelligence team asked.

"I have a list here, a total of forty-two people."

During the conversation, everyone received a message in the communication channel.

Jiang Zhou flipped through the list impatiently, and at the end of the list, he found...

"Who is the last 'unknown native'?"

Someone asked at the conference table.

it's me……

Jiang Zhou replied silently in his heart.

"A native who was also captured in the Theseus warehouse, his identity cannot be found in the database in the Nord resettlement area, and the people I asked you don't know who he is."

Fanny answered, and then she paused, and went on:

"Of course, if you want to be able to cross him off the list, there is no problem."

Damn it, don't!

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Zhou almost didn't shout out.

Booker shook his head and said:

"If it's the innocent people involved, they should be released together. But these are not the point, the point is..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people in the meeting room. He didn't speak until he confirmed that the control of the venue was now in his hands:

"In addition to this list, we also need to know your specific plan to release the prisoners."

To this, Fanny replied as if she had been prepared for a long time:

"The plan does not depend on me, but on you... At that time, I will send a studio to the resettlement area to check the progress of your work at all times. As long as the expected goals are achieved, I will release a batch of prisoners.

"In addition, that studio will also provide corresponding assistance for this project and for you. As I said, my handling style is different from that of the previous managers, and I also have some sympathy for your cause. If possible , I'd prefer to be able to resolve the issue in a way that doesn't conflict.

"Of course, on the other hand, it needs to be explained that this does not mean that I am a complete pacifist. Once this cooperation is confirmed, I do not want any unpleasantness. If the employees of the studio I dispatched, If something unexpected happens here, or if your work progress cannot meet the requirements of the company's plan, then this cooperation will be terminated immediately."

At that time, the Pluto Deep Diving Company will resume the war with Icarus.

Or, to put it more realistically, the corporate carnage of organizations will start all over again.

Even the most radical in the organization, after the end of the "Siege of Theseus", can clearly recognize the huge gap between the two sides.

This is not something that can be overcome by gritting your teeth with courage and will.

But right now, since the other party has pointed out a path that will not violate the organizational principles and can survive, it is self-evident how to choose in the end.

In the second half of the meeting, they had a full discussion on the specific matters of cooperation.

…………

The captives were released according to the progress of the cooperation. As expected, Jiang Zhou's body was arranged in the group that was released last.

According to Perse Fanny, Icarus, who is currently short of manpower, should prioritize the return of those veteran members. Like such a native who was innocently involved, it doesn't matter if he is released later.

During the period, Jiang Zhou also tried to get himself released among the first batch. But they were all hit by Tai Chi by the opponent, and they were pushed back lightly.

Therefore, Jiang Zhou, who did not give up, tried to start with Black Falcon-136 and Qian Xia Ying, hoping to let them be the first batch to be released.

But this time, the other party finally couldn't admit it, and there were a few people on the list who had formalities problems, so they had to be released later. Of course, she also promised that the procedure is only a matter of time, as long as Icarus can complete the work on schedule, everyone will be released safely in the end.

In other words, the people who were pulled over to the abyss and dark net for deep dive salvage along with me must wait until the last batch.

"..."

For a while, Jiang Zhou didn't know what to say. After all, he asked to go to the third deep diving chamber to save his life.

But on the other hand, if he hadn't taken such a risk back then, and hadn't activated the Janus system to obtain Liao Qi's identity. Then Icarus will inevitably lose the universal printer in the future, and this cooperation will be out of the question.

It can only be said that the world is unpredictable...

"...Then the general framework of the cooperation has been decided in this way. I will let the comrades in the liaison room draw up the rest of the details."

Booker stood up.

"I sincerely hope that this will be a new beginning, both for our company and for the Nord settlement."

Fanny also stood up while speaking, and the two zombie bodyguards behind her moved the chair for her in unison again.

Her words caused a few snorts of disdain in the conference room, but no one continued to say anything.

After all, if you don't look at it emotionally, the conditions given by the other party are already very generous.

Originally, Pluto Deep Dive Company came to build a smart car factory at the bottom of the resettlement area. If it wasn't for dismantling the sewage purification plant, it would be a good thing to provide a lot of employment for the bottom.

Even though everyone present couldn't accept her arrogant attitude, what she proposed was indeed a solution that could resolve the originally irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a win-win situation.

But if you treat it rationally, you should treat it rationally, but most people still cannot accept emotionally to cooperate with a person who almost killed your whole family before.

From Jiang Zhou's point of view, the future cooperation between the company and the organization will definitely be full of difficulties.

Especially after the arrival of the office sent by the other party to monitor their work progress, it is foreseeable that a lot of friction will definitely break out.

"Liao Qi, it's up to you to escort Ms. Fanny away."

After shaking hands with Fanny, Booker turned to look at Jiang Zhoudao.

He asked Liao Qi to escort the other party away, and the gesture he wanted to show was also obvious - Liao Qi was the person who had the most reason to hate Pluto Deep Dive Company among all the people present.

If even Liao Qi could let go of his hatred and embrace the possibility of the future, not only would he be able to win the trust of the company, but he would also be able to suppress dissatisfaction within the organization as much as possible.

However, Booker was also very disturbed.

Although Liao Qi stated very rationally before that he was willing to accept the conditions proposed by the other party.

But right now, will the other party continue to be willing to let go of their hatred and show a cooperative attitude?

On this point, Booker himself is not sure.

But in order to reduce the grievances between the two parties as much as possible, he still took the risk.

To be honest, he didn't realize that he didn't know him at all until he experienced so many things with that young man.

The thought and potential of this young man from the bottom of the street far exceeded his expectations.

Booker suppressed his nervousness, looked at Liao Qi, and waited for his answer.

Liao Qi stood up silently as he spoke, and walked to Perse Fanny's side, with neither sad nor happy expression on his face.

It could be seen that he was suppressing his emotions as much as possible.

Booker clenched his fists.

"Please, ma'am."

Liao Qi controlled the corners of her trembling mouth and said very politely.

Seeing this, Booker almost wanted to rush up and give him a big hug.

This kid is indeed a sensible person! I really didn't see the wrong person!
