The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 210 Negotiations
Immediately in Jiang Yu's mind was that tall, thick-faced, flesh-faced figure, wearing a dirty leather jacket, smelling of cigarettes, and speaking in a rough voice.

Shi Qiang has been in hibernation for more than ten years!

Jiang Yu recalled this reliable comrade-in-arms, and a smile appeared on his face: "Call him in quickly."

Soon, No. 30 came in with Shi Xiaoming, who was in his thirties.

Shi Xiaoming's eyebrows and eyes are more or less like Shi Qiang, but he is not as thick as Shi Qiang, and he looks much more delicate than Shi Qiang.

He said politely: "Mr. Jiang Yu, hello, sorry to bother you."

"Sit." Jiang Yu said to No. [-] again: "Go make a pot of good tea."

Jiang Yu smiled and said to Shi Xiaoming: "Don't be so restrained, I'm old friends with your father, and I went to see him off before hibernation."

Jiang Yu, who is in his 20s, and Shi Xiaoming, who is in his teens, are somewhat strange to say these words, but after the emergence of hibernation technology, such situations will only increase.

Shi Xiaoming agreed with a "hey", but his sitting posture was still a little stiff.

Jiang Yu asked: "When did you come out?"

"Last year." Shi Xiaoming scratched his head embarrassingly: "When I was young, I did many foolish things."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Who hasn't been young yet."

The two of them chatted for a while before Shi Xiaoming explained the purpose of his visit.

He has just established a funeral company called "Gaoshen", mainly engaged in "mine burial" and "space burial".

In order to avoid being exhumed by the Trisolarans, many wealthy people are preparing for their own death, so the business of Shi Xiaoming's new company is very hot.

What he didn't expect was that in order to avoid microorganisms on the earth, the PDC mutated or lost control in the environment of the space station, resulting in an imbalance in the ecological environment of the space station or the moon city, or the emergence of new infectious diseases.

Therefore, the Ministry of Star Defense in China forbids Shi Xiaoming to launch the remains of the dead on the earth with a space elevator, and even the ashes are not allowed to be transported by Shi Xiaoming.

The reason given by the Star Defense Department is very grounded, saying that it is too frustrating to use a space elevator to transport ashes.

Shi Xiaoming wondered: "I don't know which level I got stuck, or because I didn't worship a Bodhisattva, I asked my dad and several colleagues, and they all said they couldn't help, so I came to you."

Jiang Yu thought about it for a while, and then said to No. [-] on the side: "You go to the Star Defense Department and ask Minister Cheng.

"The Star Defense Department is so short of funds, how can it refuse this kind of private project?"

Jiang Yu asked No. [-] to go this trip, and the matter can basically be settled. A few days ago, Jiang Yu told Minister Cheng about Rey Diaz's situation, and Minister Cheng just owed Jiang Yu a favor.

He should be very happy to repay the favor with such a trivial matter.

Jiang Yu stayed with Shi Xiaoming for lunch, and Shi Xiaoming also wanted to make friends, so he agreed.

What Shi Xiaoming didn't expect was that the dignified Wallfacer would change into an apron and go to the kitchen to help a young man named 36.

36 is quite talented in culinary arts, and he cooks four dishes and one soup with all kinds of color, flavor and taste.

Just when the three of Jiang Yu were about to eat, No. [-] had already rushed back: "It's done."

He said to Shi Xiaoming: "Tomorrow, you can go to the star defense department to go through the formalities with your business license and ID card."

Shi Xiaoming thanked them again and again, and made a toast to Jiang Yu and the other three at the table.

Jiang Yu asked Shi Xiaoming what plan he had?
Shi Xiaoming told Jiang Yu that he promised his father to pay back the money he cheated, and now he has started to pay back.

In the future, he wants to hibernate to meet his father in the future, but now that his mother is still there, he cannot go to hibernation for the time being.

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "I will also hibernate after a while, maybe we will see each other in the future."

After sending Shi Xiaoming away, Jiang Yu went home to live in the afternoon.

His parents are getting old too, so before hibernating this time, he planned to live at home for a year and a half.

After staying at home for a few days, Jiang Yu's sister and brother-in-law came to see him.

Jiang Yu's nephew is 27 this year. In terms of age, he is the same age as Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu sighed with emotion, he dared not recognize his nephew when he met outside.

During the meal, Jiang Ying asked Jiang Yu to arrange a job for Lele.

Lele was unwilling: "Mom, I'm in my twenties, don't call me by my nickname, my name is Tao Jingxing!"

Jiang Ying glanced at him: "No matter how old you are, you are still a junior!"

Lele curled her lips, out of all displeasure.

Jiang Yu said: "The old lady has spoken, there is no problem with this matter! I will arrange for Lele to go to Guanghan City tomorrow."

Jiang Ying was a little worried: "Will the moon be unsafe?"

The old man Jiang Wenhuan was not happy: "If you want me to say, it's time for Lele to go out and practice by himself, you are too spoiled for him!"

Jiang Yu also said: "In the future, human life in space will get better and better, while life on earth will get worse and worse.

"The most important thing is that there will be many good opportunities in Guanghan City."

Jiang Ying exchanged glances with her husband before saying, "Okay, since you all say that, we won't stop you."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Where you want to go depends on Lele's choice."

Tao Jingxing, who was not called by his own name, sighed: "I listen to uncle!"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "You're still so good at talking."

……

Jiang Yu stayed at home for more than a month, feeling a bit restless. The last time he was so idle was when he and Yang Dong were on their honeymoon in Europe.

At that time, there was someone to accompany me and the beautiful scenery, so I didn’t feel bored.

But it's different at home. I get tired of playing games on the computer once or twice, and I don't want to play new games.

I don’t have much to talk to my parents about. Those high school and university classmates are all around [-] this year, and there is already a clear generation gap, so they can’t play together anymore.

The only thing Jiang Yu can do for his family, which is also his only pleasure, is to go out to the supermarket every day.

Just wandering aimlessly, in addition to the must-buy things that his mother told him, he would also buy some snacks and gadgets during the stroll.

On this day, Jiang Yu strolled to the supermarket with his mother's cloth bag for grocery shopping as usual.

As soon as I left the gate of the community, a foreigner walked towards me.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at foreigners a few more times. His hometown is not Beijing, where foreigners are everywhere, and foreigners are rarely seen.

After two glances, Jiang Yu realized that this foreigner seemed familiar.

The other party walked up to Jiang Yu: "Hi, Jiang Yu, Wallfacer."

Jiang Yu finally remembered: "You are Taylor's wall-breaker!"

The other party smiled: "Yes, you can call me Anthony."

Jiang Yu asked him to sit down on the wooden chair by the side of the road: "So, it's not enough for you to break Taylor's wall, you also want to be my wall breaker?"

He shook his head with a smile: "Since it is here to give away the head, I will take it as it is."

Anthony said politely: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to negotiate with you on behalf of ETO."

"What's there to talk about? ETO can't recruit people, do you want to ask the Star Defense Department to help? Or are you going to surrender to the Star Defense Department?"

Anthony didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Jiang Yu's words, and still smiled and said, "I'm not talking to you as a wallfacer, but to you as a 'black square'."

It was time to go to work at this time, and there were no people on the road, so they could talk freely.

Jiang Yu froze for a moment, then remembered that he was still a "black person": "It's not ETO, it's a Trisolaran. Want to talk to me?"

　Thanks to [Hecateia Rabislazuli] for the 100-point reward.
