Rebirth of the Star God Agent
Chapter 17 White Tiger and White Peacock, Kate's Little Princess
When Zhai Anle woke up, it was already past lunch time.
When he opened his eyes, Qi Ji was no longer by his side. The light computer on his wrist sensed that he had woken up and sent a notification tone, with two missed calls and a message.
Zhai Anle stretched, got up from the bed and went to wash and change clothes.
I sat at the dining table, ordered lunch from the menu, and opened the call log and messages on the computer while waiting for the food to be delivered.
The two calls were from Dean He and Qi Aiyuan, the Qi family's aunt. Zhai Anle planned to return the calls after lunch and then go to the Qi family company. He opened the message again.
The message was left to him by Qi Ji.
I told him not to rush to the company, as the situation at the company had eased a lot recently and there weren't as many urgent matters to deal with. I hoped he could get some rest. I also wanted him to go home early in the evening, so I could relax with him and relieve some stress.
Zhai Anle smiled and closed the message interface on the computer. He poured himself a glass of juice and looked through the news on the computer.
The food was quickly served on the table, and Zhai Anle ate lunch while listening to the latest news broadcast on the computer.
After dinner, the robot butler cleared away the dishes on the table. Zhai Anle turned off the news broadcast and connected the call with Dean He.
After a few seconds of prompting, the call was connected and Dean He's face appeared on the computer.
"An Le, the Bai family's project has indeed stalled. Just like yours, they're stuck with materials. They recently suggested that our research team contact Kate's development team for a three-way collaboration." Dean He's expression was somewhat serious. "Just as you expected last time, as soon as your family proposed seeking cooperation with Kate, a similar plan soon emerged here. Haven't the Bai family's assigned person to your family been found yet? It's too risky to keep following them step by step."
Zhai Anle smiled and shook his head. "Dean He, don't worry, there will be results soon. Brother Ji has already locked down people in three companies. They have made very detailed arrangements, including those in the upper management, logistics, and research institutes. Because Brother Ji wants to follow them to find the contact of the Bai family, he has only two days left. He must get evidence of the Bai family's economic crimes so that he can get back the project data of STAB they stole."
Dean He sighed and said, "Just keep yourselves informed. I'll pass on all the news here to Qi Ji later. Also, when are you planning to come for the exam?"
Zhai Anle blinked and said, "Once we get the evidence of the Bai family's crime, I will go to take the exam. It will be quick. I will have to rely on you at school then." Zhai Anle smiled.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at school. Don't get too tired, and make sure you get enough rest. You're so young, but you're under so much pressure." Dean He said with a smile, "Ever since Qi Ji graduated, he looks like an old man every time I see him."
Zhai Anle sighed inwardly, what else could he do? But he still said happily, "Don't worry, Dean He, I'll make sure Brother Ji gets some rest. I won't bother you today. See you at the academy."
Dean He nodded and hung up the call.
Zhai Anle sent a message to Qi Ji, saying that he would bring Tuanzi to the company in the afternoon. He got up and went upstairs to pick up Tuanzi, who was sleeping in the sun on the balcony. Zhai Anle stroked Tuanzi's fluffy hair a few times.
"Tuanzi, I'll take you to the company in the afternoon, so you should be smaller." Zhai Anle patted Tuanzi's head.
Tuanzi was a little unhappy, "I'm already so small!" The fluffy big tail slapped on the back of Zhai Anle's hand a little irritably.
Zhai Anle pinched its soft belly and said, "I'm sorry, dear. You can't attract too much attention now."
Tuanzi angrily swung Zhai Anle's hand a few times with his tail, and then jumped from Zhai Anle's arms to his shoulder nimbly. The strong adult ragdoll's body shook twice, and gradually shrank into the size of a ragdoll cub.
Zhai Anle rubbed the side of his cheek against Tuanzi's small body and comforted him, "Be good, I'll give you a snack in Qi Ji's office." Zhai Anle took out a coat from the closet and prepared to go downstairs to Qi's company.
Tuanzi sat firmly on Zhai Anle's shoulder, rolled his eyes at him, and complained in a small, childish voice: "My eyes finally opened yesterday. Usually, Qi Ji seems to be a very calm person. But he ran into your room in the middle of the night, hugged me and cried, and my fur was soaked."
Zhai Anle paused as he was walking down the stairs. He didn't expect that he would learn from Tuanzi about Qi Ji's condition before he came back last night.
Zhai Anle took a deep breath and continued walking towards the gate. He asked Tuanzi nonchalantly, "He just hugged you and cried?"
Tuanzi curled his lips in disdain, "Emma, you don't know, as soon as he came in, he asked me if I didn't want him anymore, and said he envied me so much that he insisted on hugging me and crying. Oh, I've never seen such a scene." Tuanzi's tail wagged even more happily.
Qi Ji usually acted like the head of the family and never gave it much attention. But last night, Qi Ji's behavior really shocked Tuanzi.
Zhai Anle didn't know what he felt.
Last night he already knew how important he was to Qi Ji, and today when he heard Tuanzi's description which was obviously exaggerated, he felt even more guilty.
Zhai Anle didn't pay attention to what Tuanzi said and started the aircraft.
Tuanzi swung his fluffy tail and rubbed Zhai Anle's cheek.
"Anle, I felt Qi Ji was so pitiful yesterday, so I gave in to him." Tuanzi's big round eyes rolled around. "He doesn't think I'm weak, does he? I see he relies on you a lot, he doesn't think we're a bad match, does he?" Tuanzi began to wonder if he had been too gentle with Qi Ji last night, and if that might have made Zhai Anle unhappy. He had been talking for a long time, but Zhai Anle didn't reply.
Zhai Anle was still lost in thought, not reacting to Tuanzi's chatter. Tuanzi regretted it even more, stretching out his soft little paw pad and gently nudging Zhai Anle's cheek.
Zhai Anle came back to his senses and turned to meet Tuanzi's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and asked Tuanzi, "What's wrong?"
Tuanzi then realized that Zhai Anle was not angry with him, but was distracted.
"Well, it's good that you don't mind." Tuanzi's big tail stopped wagging back and forth, and he was a little disappointed. "I thought I was too nice to him and you would mind."
Tuanzi's voice was no longer arrogant, but rather a little depressed.
Zhai Anle smiled and took Tuanzi from his shoulders into his arms. He rubbed its little head and said, "How could that be? Aren't we here to help him?"
Zhai Anle scratched Tuanzi's chin out of habit. "I don't mind. I sympathize with him. You did a good job last night. You took good care of him when I was away."
Tuanzi tilted his little head back and snored with a look of enjoyment. He knew that Anle would not be angry with him, and he even praised him!
The aircraft quickly brought the man and the cat to the downstairs of Qi's building.
Zhai Anle appeared in Qi Ji's office holding the beautiful little girl. Not only Qi Ji was in the office, but also Qi Ji's third uncle Qi Renyuan.
Two people were at their desks, flipping through the screens in front of them, highlighting the key points in the columns of data, discussing something. Zhai Anle took one look and knew it was STAB data.
The two men also noticed Zhai Anle entering the office, and they stopped and greeted Zhai Anle.
Zhai Anle greeted the two and placed Tuanzi in a corner of the office, where Qi Ji had prepared an activity area for Tuanzi and his own white-feathered peacock, Yinque. Yinque was already seated on a fixed sycamore log, quietly preening his feathers.
Zhai Anle placed Tuanzi on the soft cushion prepared for it, and used the light brain to contact Qi Ji's assistant Song Mo to prepare various snacks for it. Then he turned around and went back to his desk to discuss business with the two of them.
Tuanzi did not stay quietly on the mat all the time. When Zhai Anle went back to work, it stared at Yinque sitting on the paulownia wood with interest.
Tuanzi has seen Yinque twice, and each meeting was not long. Although it is a little curious about Yinque, as a white tiger cub with the blood of a divine beast, no matter how curious it is, it will not take the initiative to get close to Yinque.
But Yinque's pure white phantom feathers really attracted it.
Tuanzi raised his little head and looked at Yinque with a proud look. Yinque was subconsciously a little afraid of Tuanzi, but he also glanced at it proudly and continued to quietly comb his beautiful white feathers.
Tuanzi narrowed his eyes, displeased with Yinque's arrogance. Why should he be so arrogant? He was just prettier than Yinque! He was a mythical beast, and among mythical beasts there was Suzaku, who was much prettier than Yinque!
"Hmph." Tuanzi snorted coldly and no longer looked at Yinque.
Yinque heard it and glanced at Tuanzi again. He himself didn't understand why he was afraid of a kitten. It couldn't see through the illusion of divine beast bloodline; it was simply his natural fear of them.
Yinque knew Tuanzi. It had seen Zhai Anle quite often, but Tuanzi did not often appear around Zhai Anle.
It was impossible for it not to notice the look Tuanzi gave it. It was just that Qi Ji was too dependent on Zhai Anle, and it was the first to see it. Therefore, Zhai Anle was too important to Qi Ji. Naturally, it would also give Zhai Anle and Tuanzi the greatest tolerance.
However, it always felt that Tuanzi gave it a very dangerous feeling. It could only accept it quietly, but was afraid of it by nature. They could live under the same roof, but they were unwilling to have too much contact with Tuanzi.
Yinque didn't want to admit it, but he was really scared.
At the desk, Qi Renyuan summarized the latest progress of STAB with Zhai Anle and Qi Ji, and then said, "Dean He has almost the same information as us. The Bai family is trying to contact the head of the Kate family. They want to get the Kate family to develop STAB together."
Qi Ji looked through the list of STAB project team members and asked, "What's Lance's attitude?"
Qi Renyuan's expression was not very good. "Lance has already contacted the Bai family, but has not given a definite answer. However, they have asked to see some of the STAB's information. The Bai family is currently discussing how much information to give them."
Qi Ji sighed, "We were a step slow."
He glanced at STAB's progress data again and asked, "Can you confirm the sample data sent from Kate's mining planet? How well does it match STAB's core material requirements?"
Qi Renyuan pulled up a file from his computer and opened it. "The Kate family's mining planet has sent the latest material samples. Their energy research team is currently analyzing and studying them. The information they've passed on is somewhat close to the core material we need, but there's no clear data yet. Furthermore, it's impossible for us to get the information immediately."
Qi Ji frowned, he was a little hesitant.
Zhai Anle carefully flipped through the documents on the screen. He glanced at Qi Ji's furrowed brow and pursed his lips.
"I'll go contact Lance Kate." Zhai Anle pointed out a key point in the sample data to Qi Ji and Qi Renyuan. "Even without clear data, the compatibility with the core materials we need is already very high. Since the Kate family specializes in energy development, the Bai family's choice is actually correct, and we should acknowledge it."
Qi Renyuan said, "We are already one step behind the Bai family. If we approach the Kate family now and bring out the STAB materials, will it cause resentment in the Kate family?"
Zhai Anle smiled and said, "We are talking about cooperation and business. If we don't fight for it, we will admit defeat."
"Although the Bai family was the first to think of collaborating with the Kate family, they chose a three-party partnership, which also includes the Federal Military Academy's research institute." Zhai Anle pointed at the Qi family's STAB information on the screen. "We only have our own R&D, which is an advantage. It also indirectly shows that our research capabilities and progress are actually stronger than the Bai family's."
Qi Ji smiled. Yes, a three-party partnership is indeed not as advantageous as a two-party partnership, both in terms of profit distribution and strength.
Qi Renyuan also laughed. "Anle, what are you going to do?"
Zhai Anle glanced at Qi Ji, who was smiling, and asked, "Let's talk about Kate's family situation?"
"Okay." Qi Ji responded calmly and opened another file in his computer. He pointed to the first name on the screen, "Lance Kate. 29 years old, head of the family...."
Qi Ji introduced the main members of Kate's family, and also introduced two elders and several senior members of Kate's family.
Zhai Anle asked several questions such as personal hobbies, and Qi Ji and Qi Renyuan gave answers and supplements.
Finally, Zhai Anle swiped to a photo, clicked it, and confirmed the person he wanted to contact.
"she."
Qi Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why her? She is the youngest in the family."
Zhai Anle smiled even brighter, "I saw her last night."
Qi Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and he bit his lower lip lightly, but said nothing more.
Qi Renyuan glanced at the two of them as if he had realized something, then reached out and circled the name.
"Jane Kate."
