Although the underwater cruising speed of Droplet was very fast, it would still take about one week for the round trip. Ghost Agents in Europe moved Evelyn from Hungary to neighboring Serbia and were on their way to Albania.

The Ghost Agents would temporarily place him in Albania, waiting for Droplet to arrive before transferring him onto it. Once he boarded Droplet, it meant he would be free.

When he arrived in Xin, he would act as a bargaining chip between Jiang Chen and Russia.

The next day, Ayesha made breakfast for Jiang Chen then went to Coconut Island?s dock. As a private holiday harbor for Jiang Chen, it had been used as the storage place for Droplet.

After waking up and not seeing Ayesha, Jiang Chen knew she already left.

This also meant that in the next week, he had to be inside this empty mansion, all alone. The thought of it made him feel lonely.

After breakfast, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa and rested for a moment. He got up and turned off the TV and went to the kitchen with a plate. After putting the chopsticks and plates into the dishwasher, he took a shower in the bathroom, put on formal attire, and went straight to the garage.

Since there was nothing to do, he went to the office.

Driving the converted Lamborghini, Jiang Chen deliberately took a detour on the way to Future Building, heading on the expressway beside the beach.

On the glittering golden beach, familiar faces could be seen everywhere. Under the transformation of Future Group, Coro Island became Eastern Hawaii and the preferred tourist resort for Asian countries.

Of course, he deliberately took a detour not to look at women in bikinis, but rather, to look at the underwater expressway of the Victoria Construction Company.

In the middle of last month, after signing the contract, Victoria sent a construction team over. At the moment, several engineering vessels were parked at the southeastern end of Coro Island. They sunk the graphene pipes into the water and operated the machinery by underwater operators to complete the laying of the pipeline.

Watching the bustling sea region, he was filled with a pleasant joy.

By this time next year at the latest, the road connecting the nine islands would be open to traffic.

By then, the people of Xin would no longer have to travel by ship, and they would be able to travel across the island in just one vehicle. The previously depressed private car market could also recover with the completion of the subsea expressway. By then, it would be almost time to promote maglev vehicles.

At the office, he parked into the garage. When Jiang Chen walked through the doors of Future Building, the passing employees all looked at him like he was a rare guest.

They weren?t to be blamed for their reactions. After all, as the group?s president, Jiang Chen?s attendance had always been very spontaneous. Sometimes he was there every day one month, and sometimes, he would disappear for months.

The managers were already accustomed to this, but for employees, the whereabouts of the president could be described as mysterious.

With the expansion of the company, there were new faces at the building every day. Although it was only for a short period of one month, Jiang Chen felt like it was a brand new place when he stepped inside.

Coincidentally, when Jiang Chen entered the hall, there was just an elevator on the first floor. Seeing the arrival of the president, an employee quickly hit the door open button and waited until Jiang Chen entered.

Jiang Chen smiled and didn?t say anything. He pressed the button for the top floor of the building and closed the elevator door.

The elevator began to move upwards, and through the transparent walls, he was able to see the sandy beach of Coro Island.

Perhaps because of the gap in position, Jiang Chen felt that the atmosphere in the elevator was a bit weird because there were no sounds at all. Several employees standing near him didn?t even dare to breathe loudly. There were also several intern-looking employees who were peeking at him from time to time.

?Is there something dirty on my face?? Jiang Chen smiled and quipped at the female intern who had red permed hair.

She didn?t expect Jiang Chen to talk to her. The girl with the curls suddenly blushed and told the truth while stuttering.

?No, no, I?m just thinking the president is so young.?

The employee next to her immediately felt secondhand embarrassment for the new intern. She had just been there for a few days, yet she said the wrong thing in front of the boss. How could she still continue to work there??Saying that the president looked young, in an alternative perspective ? wasn?t that questioning the president?s abilities? She should?ve used the word ?mature?!

However, contrary to their experience in the workplace, Jiang Chen didn?t show the slightest discontent at all. On the contrary, he laughed.

?You don?t have to think that; I?m very young to start with, so I have to count on you guys for the group?s work!?

She wasn?t blamed but was encouraged instead. The new employee?s face was flushed with excitement, taking the opportunity to agree.

?Yes!?

Jiang Chen smiled, indicating that she didn?t have to be so nervous.

Soon, the elevator door opened, and the employees walked out one after another. When the woman with the ?curled hair? left the elevator, she blushed and bowed at Jiang Chen then quickly left.

Although it was only a small episode, news of the president being easy to get along with quickly spread throughout the company.

Jiang Chen was also pleased with the result.

If possible, he didn?t want to be a distant leader to the point where all who saw him felt they had to bow their heads. In contrast, he was more willing to be a leader loved by all employees, so that every person who saw him would say hello instead.

Before entering his office, Jiang Chen went to Xia Shiyu?s office.

When Xia Shiyu went into the office with a smile, she gave him a few extra glances.

?What?s the good news??

?Nothing, I?m just in a good mood today. Do you have anything to report to me? So you don?t have to make a trip in a bit.? Jiang Chen took a chair from the side and sat across from Xia Shiyu.

After seeing this scene, the female assistant who was holding some documents came in. After she laid down the documents, she consciously left the room. However, Xia Shiyu didn?t overthink it. She picked up the documents and glanced over them before pushing the pile aside.

?You came just in time. Future Heavy Industries once again signed a blockbuster deal.? Then Xia Shiyu placed a document in front of Jiang Chen.

?Blockbuster deal??

Jiang Chen picked up the document with great interest and looked at the title. Two keywords immediately caught his attention.

?Drone? and ?Express?.
