Chapter 183 -183: Meeting with Secretary Chen
Qin Jun escorted his wife and daughter to see off Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, saying he would get back to them with news tomorrow.
After saying their goodbyes again, Gu Pan, Lu Ruisheng, and Chen Fengzhou returned to their apartment building together.
On the way, Chen Fengzhou was elated, “I knew you guys would hit it off. My uncle is really a great person. I stayed at his place until high school because my parents were busy with work and often went on business trips for months. So, I stayed at my uncle’s house. Whatever my cousin had, I had too. I really like my uncle.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “I also admire Uncle Qin’s character. Thanks, Fengzhou, for introducing us to Uncle Qin.”
Chen Fengzhou laughed, “Because I introduced you, my uncle even praised me. I’ve got it good on both sides.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also smiled upon hearing this. Chen Fengzhou was indeed good at speaking and a nice guy too.
They had just reached the entrance when Yang Jia opened the door, “How did it go?” She didn’t say much, afraid someone might overhear, but she also wanted to hear some good news.
Gu Pan nodded, “It went smoothly. Let Fengzhou go back and tell you about it.”
Yang Jia nodded repeatedly, “Good, good. As long as it went well.”
After saying goodnight to Chen Fengzhou and Yang Jia, they went home too.
Once home, the two truly relaxed, now just waiting for the talk with Secretary Li. Such energy resources, no one could refuse.
They had plenty of solar panels, so they planned to take out half. This kind of thing couldn’t be completely taken out; what if they needed it later? Anyway, they had enough space in the Space now, so store half and use the other half for negotiation was already sufficient.
The most important thing was they had all the necessary accessories, something ordinary people couldn’t achieve.
In the evening, the two went into the Space again. The luxury cruise was practically cleaned up by now, and Gu Pan used her thoughts to move the materials into the cruise ship, emptying out the Space, leaving only the solar panels.
Gu Pan then stacked up the solar panels, and the Space instantly became spacious again.
They found the cruise’s brochure on the ship: The ship is 223 meters in length, with a beam of 28 meters and a maximum width of 31 meters. Its gross tonnage is 47,000 tons, with a maximum cruising speed of 19 knots per hour. It has 739 guest rooms, accommodating up to 1,965 guests. There are 432 ocean-view cabins with windows and 298 inside cabins with decorative windows but no ocean view.
The cruise ship’s public facilities are quite comprehensive, including 1 theater, 1 SPA center, 2 banquet halls, 4 restaurants, 7 bars, 1 multifunctional conference room, 1 card room, 1 children’s nursery, 2 duty-free shops, 1 gym, 1 club, and 2 swimming pools, meeting the living and entertainment needs of passengers onboard.
Previously, while wandering around the cruise ship, Gu Pan had discovered there were 7 bars. She and Lu Ruisheng had thought they got lost and ended up in the same place again.
A cruise ship, with 7 bars?
But after seeing the brochure, they realized there were indeed 7 bars. It seems the guests who came onboard played with a sense of abandon.
However, the liquor was mostly frozen and damaged. Gu Pan used her thoughts to pile up the broken bottles and trash; whatever was not needed was piled up together, to be disposed of when they went out, which was not troublesome.
With the liquor dried out, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng cleaned it up leisurely when they had free time.
For now, the biggest use of the cruise ship was to store materials, saving space. It was uncertain when it could be put into use, but having it was reassuring. After all, few cruise ships were intact after the acid rain. Theirs was genuinely a rare sight.
Although the materials on the cruise had been taken, the ship’s own public facilities were plentiful, so there was a lot to use.
For example, the suites had all sorts of appliances; if they were lacking any household items, they could also go in and take them.
That night, the two slept very well. The next morning, after waking up, they went out for morning exercises to maintain their physical functions, which was essential for them.

After exercising and having breakfast, they returned home and didn’t plan to go out again. Today, they would wait at home for news from Qin Jun’s side. Although they couldn’t rush, it was comforting to be at home.
In the afternoon, Chen Fengzhou knocked on their door and said his uncle’s secretary had come to summon them.
Previously, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had wondered whether they would be asked to go to the work unit, to someone’s house, or to meet somewhere outside.
Now they knew it was the work unit, so the gifts they had prepared couldn’t be taken with them just yet. After they became better acquainted, they would find an opportunity to give them. Taking them now would be blatant bribery, unlike the favor they asked of Sister Wang.
They were already dressed and ready, so they didn’t need to prepare. They just locked the door, greeted the person who came, said goodbye to Chen Fengzhou and Yang Jia, and went to Secretary Li’s.
Since Qin Jun’s Uncle, Chen Fengzhou, knew their address, it was easier for his secretary to find them. The building numbers where they lived were particularly clear and easy to locate.
On the way, Qin Jun’s secretary introduced himself. He was Meng Yuanqi and had been Chief Qin’s secretary since he joined the base.
Since Meng Yuanqi was older than them, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng politely called him Brother Meng.
They didn’t say much more after that, as some topics weren’t appropriate for them to discuss. Chatting too casually might appear strange, so no one deliberately tried to start a conversation.
It wasn’t a far walk. Their residence was close to the government district, so Meng Yuanqi didn’t need to drive; a five to eight-minute walk was all it took.
Meng Yuanqi led them directly to Secretary Li’s third-floor office and knocked on the door.
A voice quickly came from inside, “Come in.”
Meng Yuanqi pushed the door open, let Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng enter first, and then followed.
Qin Jun was also there. He had been sitting on the sofa talking to Secretary Li but stood up and said to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “Xiao Gu, Xiao Lu, this is Secretary Li.”
Gu Pan greeted the neat and tidy middle-aged man rising from the sofa, “Secretary Li.”
Secretary Li was Li Shukang, forty-six or forty-seven years old, not tall, but with a kind-looking face, “Xiao Gu, Xiao Lu, please sit and talk.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat down on the sofa opposite them.
The office was not small; a desk was placed by the window, a bookcase behind it, and the sofa was against the eastern wall. Li Shukang and Qin Jun sat on a three-seater sofa on that side, a coffee table in the middle, and single-seat sofas to the north and south where Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat.
After sitting down, Li Shukang’s secretary poured them tea, and then he and Meng Yuanqi left, closing the door on their way out.
When only the four of them remained, Li Shukang started slowly, “Qin Jun and I were in the same system before, and it’s fate that we were assigned to the same base. He wouldn’t bring you to see me if he didn’t trust me, and I won’t let you suffer any loss.”
