Chapter 706

"Lin Yu~ This is a business negotiation." Topa tilted her head, her hair brushing across his shoulders. "You need technology, we need benefits, it's just an equal exchange." She suddenly leaned in and whispered in his ear, "If you ask me in person, maybe I can give you a discount?"

Xier stood up and said, "The residents of the Lower Town have trouble even living their basic needs. This is not the time to negotiate terms!"

Topa raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Yu, tapping the document with her finger: "Listen, your guardian is so courageous, but..." Her fingertips slid down his arm, finally stopped at his palm and gently hooked it, "I remember someone said that he was willing to give everything for Yalilo?"

Lin Yu held her hand with his backhand, not too hard or too soft, "You can't give too much but you can be bullied. The geological structure of the Lower City is special. The slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophe. Does the Chamber of Commerce want us to risk the entire city?" He briefly explained the rock crisis that Natasha had described, and Topa's expression gradually changed from joking to solemn.

"I see." She pulled her hand back, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the brooch, "Conventional technology is simply not feasible for this level of geological engineering..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled slyly, "However, Interstellar Peace Company does have a set of "anchoring technology" that can reinforce the rock layer without destroying the structure. Of course, the price..."

"What do you want?" Lin Yu looked straight into her eyes.

Topa suddenly leaned close, her warm breath brushing his cheek, "Accompany me to the highest observation tower tonight to see the lights, and don't bring anyone else." She bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's a deal, the technology is free."

Bronya and Seele were stunned at the same time, but Lin Yu smiled and pinched her face with his hand, "Swindler."

"Only you." Topa grabbed his hand and kissed it gently, with a gleam of success in his eyes. "Remember to dress nicely. I don't like to lose face."

Lin Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Topa to be so proactive.

Is it because we haven’t seen each other for a long time?

She turned around, grabbed the documents and stuffed them back into her bag. "We'll discuss the details of the cooperation tomorrow. Now, I'm going to go prepare my dress for the date."

As the door was closed, the room fell into a brief silence. Bronya looked at Lin Yu, "So, this is your way of negotiating?"

"Sometimes, feelings are the best bargaining chip." Lin Yu rubbed his eyebrows, thinking of the crumbling downtown area described by Natasha, and the tenderness hidden in Topa's eyes, "But don't worry, I won't let Yalilo suffer."

...

As night fell, at the top of the highest observation tower, Lin Yu was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with the Interstellar Peace Company badge given to him by Feicui pinned on his collar.

The cold wind swept across the top of the tower. He wrapped his coat tightly and saw in the distance a crimson figure walking towards him in high heels.

Topa wore a strapless burgundy dress today. The dark patterns on the hem of her dress flowed like nebulae, and the diamond accessories in her hair swayed gently with her steps.

She raised her hand to tidy up the hair behind her ears, her eyes moving: "Let me see, is my little hero dressed up carefully?" As she said that, she walked around Lin Yu, her fingertips tracing the shoulder line of his straight suit.

Lin Yu reached out and held her in his arms, smelling the familiar cedar scent mixed with perfume on her body. This was also the first time that Lin Yu felt a different Topa.

"But you, aren't you afraid of catching a cold dressed like this?"

"With you here, what should I be afraid of?" Topa raised her face, her lips close to him, "The last time we parted was in the Immortal Boat, it's been so long..." Her voice gradually lowered, her fingers hooked on Lin Yu's tie, and gently pulled it.

Outside the observation tower, the aurora suddenly broke out. This was unexpected. I didn't see it the last time I went out with Hua Huo, but I saw it today.

Green bands of light rolled in the night sky, dyeing the figures of the two people into a dreamy color.

The flowing aurora was reflected in Topa's pupils, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Lin Yu..."

Before she could finish, Lin Yu lowered his head and kissed her.

Topa was slightly startled at first, then responded enthusiastically, and his bracelet glowed faintly.

The kiss between the two was hot as if they were reunited after a long separation. Lin Yu's hands unconsciously tightened around her waist, while Topa inserted his fingers into his hair, applying a little force.

As the kiss became deeper and deeper, Topa's high heels kicked aside at some point, and she almost hung on Lin Yu.

Lin Yu pushed her against the glass wall of the observation tower, with the aurora flowing behind him, as if the entire universe had become their background.

It was unknown how long it was before the two separated, panting.

Topa's lips were slightly swollen, his eyes were blurred, and his fingertips brushed across Lin Yu's hot cheeks. "You still say I took the initiative? Someone's hands are not honest either."

Lin Yu chuckled and tucked the hair that was scattered on her cheeks behind her ears.

"Who made someone so attractive?" He paused, his eyes became serious, "Topa, about the downtown area..."

"Shh..." Topa pressed his lips with his fingers, "Tonight we're only talking about romance, not business."

She pressed her lips against Lin Yu's again and whispered softly in his ear, "I will find a way to fix the anchoring technology... but you have to compensate me first..."

Under the watchtower, Zhao Zhao was lying in the snow, patting the ground impatiently.

It raised its head, staring at the two entangled shadows at the top, grunting in dissatisfaction, and scratching the snow pile with its claws, smashing a snowball into pieces.

...

The next morning, a cold mist still lingered in the meeting room at Klippeburg.

Bronya was looking through the latest geological exploration report, and Seele was debugging the holographic projection equipment. Suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open startled a gust of air flow.

Topa spun in on her high heels.

She changed into a silver-gray suit today. The star-shaped brooch on her chest flashed coldly with every step she took. The accountant following behind her was carrying a file box that was bigger than herself.

"Such a serious expression?" Topa threw the black briefcase on the conference table, and the metal buckle made a crisp sound. "It seems that my good news comes at the right time." She tapped her fingertips, and the holographic screen suddenly lit up with a dark blue data stream. Hundreds of anchor points swam among the rock models like silver fish. "Interstellar Peace Company has decided to provide the core solution of "anchoring technology" for free."

"Ms. Topa, yesterday's draft required Yalilo to give up 70% of the mining rights, but today it suddenly..." Bronya was surprised. Could it be that Lin Yu...

"Isn't business negotiation a game of turning things upside down?" Topa leaned on the edge of the table, crossed her legs, revealing her slender ankles, and ran her fingers across the holographic projection, with anchor points blooming into starlight at her fingertips.

"Besides, some things are more precious than minerals..." She suddenly chuckled, her eyes looking across the conference table and directly into the eyes of Lin Yu who had just entered the room, "For example, some people are willing to exchange their sincerity for a whole night of aurora?"

Lin Yu's windbreaker was still stained with frost and snow, and his Adam's apple moved slightly when he heard this.

The warm touch of Topa biting his earlobe and whispering "Thank you for trying so hard to make it up to me" last night now crawled up his spine again.

He calmly opened his collar, revealing a faint red mark, "So what are the technical details?"

"Smart people are the ones who worry less." Topa snapped his fingers, and Zhang Zhang immediately spit out the USB flash drive.

The blue light projected a three-dimensional diagram, and the anchor points were like roots embedded in the rock. "These anchor points can monitor stress changes and automatically adjust the support strength, but..." She deliberately dragged out the last word and raised her eyebrows at Bronya's vigilant gaze. "Installation requires a professional team... For example, my exclusive engineering team?"

"Exclusive engineering team? Aren't you the Strategic Investment Department? How come there is such a thing as an engineering team?" Lin Yu asked in confusion.

He recalled his previous visit to the company headquarters. Feicui had taken him to visit the core departments, but he had never heard of the engineering team under the Strategic Investment Department.

And Silver Wolf also hacked into the company system and exported the floor plan.

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Topa's mouth. He reached out and pinched Zhangzhang's head. The little guy squinted his eyes comfortably, and his tail made a rustling sound on the ground.

"My dear, the business scope of Interstellar Peace Corporation is more complicated than you think. This engineering team was originally responsible for dismantling the collapsed space station. It just so happens that the crumbling buildings in the downtown area have something in common with the structure of the space capsule that is about to disintegrate..."

She suddenly leaned closer, and the scent of perfume mixed with cedar hit my face. "Or would you rather believe that I mobilized all the resources just to see you?"

Zhang Zhang suddenly rolled out from under the table, his round body bumped into Topaz's high heels, and he made an unhappy "grunt" sound.

Topa bent down and picked it up. Zhangzhang immediately patted the briefcase in her arms with her paws and rubbed her chin with her head.

"Okay, okay. I know you're the most anxious." Topa scratched the tip of Zhang Zhang's nose, turned around and threw the document on the table. The words on the terms flashed a friendly green light.

All operations of the engineering team are fully supervised by Yalilo, and the technical service fee is one hundred handmade products per year.

Xier's pen fell to the ground with a "clack". "These conditions...are just like charity!"

Topa shook Zhang Zhang, and the little guy twisted into a ball in her arms. "For some people, seeing their loved one's brows relax is more pleasing than the profits from interstellar investment..." She suddenly leaned close to Lin Yu's ear, and her voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it. "After all, Zhang Zhang peeked at our date last night, rolled on the way back and made a fuss, and insisted that I give you the technology as a gift."

Lin Yu lowered his head to look at Zhang Zhang who was pretending to be innocent in Topa's arms. The ball was secretly looking at him with one eye.

As the sun set, Topa held Zhang Zhang and leaned against the French window of the watchtower. He took out his communicator and called up the photos he had secretly taken last night.

In the picture, when Lin Yu bent down to kiss her, the light signs behind him happened to form a heart shape.

Zhang Zhang suddenly nudged her hand with her head and made a coquettish sound of "hum hum". Topa smiled and shook her head, setting the photo as the lock screen.
