Chapter 907: Chapter 858: The Company

At 6:30 in the morning, Song Lan received a message from Qi He. The subject of the message was an invitation to attend an internal meeting, with attendees including Qi He, Gustav, and Monica.

"What’s up?"

Lu Xiang glanced at Song Lan, who was staring at his phone screen and had fallen into a daze. Clearly, this Dumb Bird was still not awake, with a tuft of hair sticking up on his forehead. By his regular sleep schedule, he needed to sleep until 8 A.M. to meet his definition of a good night’s sleep.

According to her observation, waking up early might be the time when Song Lan was at his weakest.

His consciousness was blurry, and even his thoughts were incoherent.

However, for Lu Xiang, this was not necessarily a bad thing, as she often took advantage of Song Lan’s state of grogginess to have her way.

"Damn, do these people never sleep? I worked until after 10 last night!"

That day, Song Lan finally remembered the horror of being a public servant.

Even during rest periods, one had to keep an eye on the phone at all times, as superiors might send work-related messages out of the blue. In this field, they were comparable to Assassins, always catching you off guard.

Although he had never worked with Qi He, Song Lan had already mentally categorized him as a "ruthless superior" and sincerely sympathized with Qi He’s subordinates.

"Hm? Didn’t you spend the entire day wandering around the food and commercial streets, only to check in with the show crew at 10 P.M.?"

Lu Xiang immediately exposed Song Lan’s lie.

With such a work ethic, the "Master of Rescuers" crew really hit the jackpot.

Considering the Dumb Bird had behaved himself while shopping yesterday, not gazing at beautiful women dancing in the streets like last time, Lu Xiang decided not to criticize him.

"That was also work."

Song Lan insisted confidently, "It’s like when your PE teacher lets you have free time during class, doesn’t it still count as a class?"

As a good teacher, he took the students’ interests into account and gave them an entire day off, a privilege he himself had never enjoyed during his school days.

"Morning Star doesn’t have PE classes, and as far as I know, there are usually some teaching activities scheduled before free time."

"I did schedule something."

"What did you schedule?"

"I treated them to ramen. It strengthened the team’s camaraderie."

History had proven countless times that combat skills were just for fun. In times of crisis, only friendship and bonds could turn the tide of battle.

This fully demonstrated his foresight as a mentor. While other contestants were still engaged in open and secret struggles, he had already begun to cultivate the bond between Veronica and Valerian.

"You—"

Lu Xiang was momentarily at a loss for words. She couldn’t help feeling that Song Lan was becoming increasingly brazen before her. She remembered when they first met, he would stealthily slack off, but now the Dumb Bird was not only shameless but had even concocted a set of absurd theories!

"Get up quickly, any more dawdling and you’ll be late!"

Unable to defeat Song Lan in the realm of absurd logic, she immediately changed strategy and urged him to get out of bed, "What? Do you want me to carry you down?"

"I’m up, I’m up!"

Song Lan got a fright and quickly suppressed any thoughts of "five more minutes."

From his understanding of Lu Xiang, mornings were often her weakest time as well, to the point of barely being able to stand. Attempts to help him out of bed often ended in failure, and he had a high chance of "slipping" and falling back onto the bed.

He had to avoid such accidents, or else he would indeed be late.

After getting up, freshening up, and enjoying the decent breakfast provided by the hotel, the hovercar sent by Qi He was already docked at the rooftop terrace of the Eden Hotel.

The arrival of Song Lan and Lu Xiang considerably lightened the somewhat somber atmosphere in the meeting room.

Gustav, Song Lan’s "nemesis," took the initiative to wave his hand in greeting.

This was a safe house Qi He had set up in District Four, unknown even to the Ragus Foundation. No wonder Vadim had nearly turned District Four upside down and still couldn’t find his target. Monica had been staying here all these days.

The safe house was well-stocked with essentials, even boasting a kitchen with a fridge filled with ready-made meals, which to the people of 2167, were considered quite a delicacy. There was an ample supply of various drinks, and there was even a dedicated recreation room. It looked as if it were built to withstand an "end-of-days calamity."

Song Lan thought the best outcome for Monica would be to rest in the safe house for a few more days until Vadim exceeded the company’s time limit and was automatically dealt with by the company.

But without this fellow from District Seventeen, this season of "Master of Rescuers" would significantly lose its appeal.

"I’m very sorry, there was a little mishap with the Foundation’s ’external’ business, so I had to leave District Four earlier than planned. That’s why today’s meeting was moved up,"

Qi He said with a smile, expressing his apologies. After getting to know Song Lan, they realized he was an easy person to deal with. He added, "You are the experts I have specially invited. The consulting fees will be transferred to your accounts in a while."

"Experts?"

At his words, Monica carefully sized up the two for a while, then suddenly raised her right hand, pointing at Song Lan in surprise, "I recognize you, the Chief Executor of CP0! You mean you had planned this from the beginning!"
