Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

Ever since he saw Cronin for the first time, Li Ke didn't have a good impression of this guy. He felt that he was the kind of person who would betray his companions without hesitation for profit.

Because of Cronin's words, Ceylon was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't say anything at all.

She was still a little too young, and she was no match for a veteran like Cronin who had been in the workplace for many years.

After a few words made Ceylon speechless with anger, Cronin pointed at Li Ke who was on the side again. He smiled and stretched out a hand, and said, "I don't know what to call this Sakota friend?"

This is the main purpose of his rushing back this time. For his future, any unstable factors must be in his own hands this time.

"...Li Ke."

Hitting people doesn't hit people in the face, since Cronin has put on such an attitude, Li Ke was silent for a moment, then held the hand that the other party extended.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li. This name is really rare for Sakota people."

After casually sighing, Cronin continued, "Then, what is the relationship between Mr. Li and Miss Ceylon?"

Before Li Ke could answer, Ceylon said extremely angrily, "Li Ke is...he is my friend, what does this have to do with you?"

"Didn't I just say that it was for your safety, Missy?" Cronin said very naturally, "Missy, you probably don't know that just last night, someone died in Siesta Oh, more than one person died, Miss Hei is investigating this matter now, and everyone in Siesta is now suspected of committing the crime."

"So when I heard that a stranger entered your residence, miss, of course I would feel worried."

Although he didn't mention his name, Cronin almost had doubts about Li Ke written all over his face, but there was nothing wrong with his logic, and Li Ke couldn't refute it at all.

"Yes, is that so?" Hearing what Cronin said, Ceylon showed a very shaken look.

This can't help but make Li Ke on the side feel a little helpless. This guy Ceylon... really believes what others say. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cronin's purpose is not like this at all. He just made up a random reason.

"I want to ask Miss Ceylon for something. I have a business and I want to talk to her father, but Mayor Herman is not here because of the delay in contact." Li Ke felt a little regretful. said.

Although this guy named Cronin does not seem like a good person, since he can sit in the second-in-command position, he must have the basic abilities he should have. Li Ke's idea of ​​cooperating will definitely be known by this person. So he just said it.

"Business?" When Cronin heard this, he immediately showed an expression of interest.

Out of various considerations, Cronin said, "If it's about cooperation, Mr. Herman can come and talk with me if he's not around. If it's not a particularly important matter, I have the right to make a decision."

After finishing speaking, as if to prove what he just said, Cronin turned to Ceylon and said, "I'm right, Miss."

Ceylon remained silent and did not respond to Cronin's question just now.

However, her silent attitude itself showed one thing. Cronin hadn't lied just now, and lying about this kind of thing didn't make any sense.

However, should we talk about this now...

After pondering for a moment, Li Ke finally decided to speak, "It's about ore disease. I think we should be able to cooperate in the treatment of ore disease."

Or because of the previous reason, if Cronin can sit in this position, then he must be someone trusted by Mayor Herman. The time for Mayor Herman's return has not yet been determined, and it is impossible for Li Ke to stay for this matter. Waiting for the other party to come back in Xista.

Therefore, it is the best choice to talk about this matter with Zista's second-in-command here. Although Li Ke doesn't like this guy a little bit, he won't let his little emotions affect his business.

It would be outrageous for Herman to leave Kiesta at such a time, and he would completely let go of such an important event?I don't know whether to say he is confident or arrogant.

"Ore disease..."

Sure enough, after hearing what Li Ke said, Cronin's expression immediately became serious. He pointed to the table beside him, motioning for them to sit there and discuss in detail, so the three of them went back to the table and sat down again. down.

Cronin brought another tea set, filled the cups on the table with tea, and said after making a gesture of invitation, "I don't know what you represent, Mr. Li, to treat ore disease... If this is If it's a joke, it's not funny at all."

"I represent Longmen." Li Ke said, "The research institute to which Longmen belongs has developed the latest solution for the treatment of ore disease. We are currently looking for partners to cooperate with."

"It's actually a dragon gate?" Cronin was suddenly surprised.

A Sakota man is actually a representative of Longmen?However, if it is Longmen, it is indeed quite convincing.

"So why is Zista, why did you come to us? If it's Longmen, there should be many partners who can cooperate?"

"I heard that Kiesta is also trying to improve the living conditions of the infected. Only the city-states that are willing in this regard are the objects of our limited consideration. Not everyone is willing to help the infected."

"Understandable."

Cronin understood it all too well, because he was the one who took the lead in opposing the preferential treatment of infected people, but the mayor had already made a decision, and it was useless no matter how much he opposed it.

He has always considered it from the perspective of utilitarianism. In his opinion, Mayor Herman is doing a thankless thing by helping the infected for free. Even if he helps those infected, apart from some lackluster thanks Besides, what else can they get?

Not to mention that Xista would have to pay a large sum of money for this.

"So, what is the cost of this treatment? If the cost is too high, we can't accept it."

Ceylon became anxious when she heard this. In her opinion, no matter how high the cost of this treatment plan is, she should accept it. However, Cronin showed a clear intention of refusing it just now. She is not willing to let this kind of thing happens.

"why would……"

As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Cronin.

"I see what you mean, Miss Ceylon."

"When Mr. Herman showed his willingness to help those infected before, I clearly opposed it. No matter how high the fiscal revenue of Kiesta City is, helping the infected is a bottomless pit, let alone Xi Star's financial situation is not that optimistic yet."

"Except for the Obsidian Music Festival and some cooperation projects brought by the music festival, Zista has almost no other income sources. Zista is likely to be dragged down by these infected people, do you understand? My Missy."

Ceylon was speechless.

"So, can you answer the question just now for me?" After finishing Ceylon, Cronin turned his head and continued to look at Li Ke.

"You can rest assured that we have considered this issue from the very beginning. Now the cost of this treatment plan has dropped to a level acceptable to most people."

"Counting the total cost of surgery and follow-up medicine, it will not exceed this amount at most." Li Ke opened his left hand.
