Director, you wanted to see me?”
He Yun cautiously asked as she entered the director’s office, wondering if there might have been some mistake.
As a newly employed junior reporter, being summoned by the director was completely unexpected.
“Ah, Xiao He is here, take a seat.”
“Thank you, Director.”
The director looked over the recently regularized junior reporter and nodded in satisfaction.
She had a decent appearance, conducted herself well, and was a graduate of a media university.
Her basic skills were solid.
With two years of training, she could become a key player.
“Xiao He, the station has a task for you, the specifics weren’t clearly stated by the other party, so you’ll need to adapt as necessary.”
The director spoke plainly, without any formalities, briefly explaining the situation.
After all, it was a message from higher up.
They wanted CCTV to send a reporter to cooperate with the Crimson Corporation.
But how exactly to cooperate, how long it would take, and what the work entailed was unknown.
The higher-ups didn’t say.
Or maybe they weren’t clear either.
After receiving the task, the director thought it over and decided to send a promising newcomer.
Director, is this task an interview or something else?” He Yun was confused after hearing the details.
What did it mean to adapt as necessary?
“The specific task will be determined by the arrangements of the Crimson Corporation.”
“Okay, when do I leave?”
“You should go back and prepare now. Soon, someone from the military will
take you to the airport and discuss confidentiality issues with you.”
“I understand, Director, I’ll go prepare.”
Good, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s no trouble at all, Director. I’ll be going now.”
Alright, call the station if you need anything.”
“Understood.”
After leaving the director’s office, He Yun went back to hand over her work. Being a new regular staff member, she didn’t have much to do and quickly finished up.
Then she went back to her dormitory to pack her things, including a change of clothes and her work laptop, and waited for the military personnel.
In less than half an hour, the military personnel arrived, discussed the confidentiality issues with her, and then took her to the military airport. At the airport, she saw a large, sci-fi-styled airplane.
Painted with the Crimson Corporation’s logo, she recognized it as the widely-discussed plane online.
It was said to be President Tang’s private plane, the head of Crimson.
“Major Gao, hello. The target has been delivered, the confidentiality agreement is signed, and the background check is clear.”
“Okay, thank you for your assistance.”
After speaking with the military personnel, Gao Yang said to He Yun, “Reporter He, please follow me.”
“Okay.”
He Yun nodded and followed Gao Yang onto the plane.
After boarding the private plane, she realized just how luxurious and sci-fi looking the interior was.
However, the military personnel had warned her.
During the mission, act as if you haven’t seen anything, don’t ask questions, don t take pictures, and don’t touch any equipment or facilities.
So, after boarding the plane, she just sat in her seat, buckled her seatbelt, and sat quietly.
After Gao Yang stored her luggage, he returned to the living room and casually sat on the sofa.
“Red Lotus, we can take off now.”
“Acknowledged.”
The next second, the private plane slowly took off.
Without any gliding, it lifted off vertically.
He Yun, sitting quietly in her seat, was a bit bewildered by the view outside the window.
She glanced at Gao Yang, who was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, not wearing a seatbelt, and playing with his phone. She moved her mouth to ’ speak but said nothing.
When the private plane reached high altitude and started to accelerate, she finally felt the sensation of being pushed back.
But the feeling wasn’t strong, similar to a car accelerating, and didn’t affect much.
After a while, the private plane began to fly smoothly.
At that time, Gao Yang got up, took a bottle of drink from the fridge, opened it, and began to drink.
“Uh… Reporter He, would you like something to drink?”
“No, thank you,” He Yun shook her head in response.
Gao Yang nodded and continued to sit on the sofa playing with his phone, occasionally taking a sip of his drink.
This behavior made He Yun uncomfortable.
She was just being polite.
Why was he so straightforward?
He Yun took a deep breath, then asked, “Um… may I unbuckle my seatbelt now?”
“YOU can, you didn’t need to wear it in the first place,” Gao Yang replied without looking up.
“Can I use my phone?”
“Yes, but no photos.”
“Okay.”
After unbuckling her seatbelt, He Yun took out her phone, connected to the plane’s network, and messaged her parents on WeChat, informing them she would be on a business trip for the next few days.
Half an hour later, He Yun was still chatting on WeChat, unaware that the plane had already landed.
“Reporter He, we’ve arrived, let’s disembark.”
“Oh… okay, sorry.”
He Yun looked out the window, not immediately processing the situation.
When did they land?
She didn’t even feel it.
Following Gao Yang off the plane, they arrived at the entrance to a mountain base.
“Once inside, don’t wander around alone, and don’t touch anything. Remember this.”
Gao Yang turned and spoke seriously to He Yun.
“Okay, I understand,” He Yun nodded.
Buzz!
The door to the mountain base opened.
The two walked into the laser corridor, and at that moment, Red Lotus’s voice resounded..
