Chapter 236: Hans Cat

Looking at the expressionless Ye Cang before him, Liu Chuang felt terrified to the core.

This meal, it seemed, was not something he absolutely had to eat.

But before Liu Chuang could refuse, Qing Long suddenly walked over.

"Eating?"

"Thanks to the Chief Engineer for the treat!"

After saying this, he dragged Liu Chuang away, drove the car, and entered the interior of the base.

After watching the two enter the base, Ye Cang turned and left; he now needed to find the old man to confirm some things.

Otherwise, there would be no way to handle the price issue.

A moment later, Ye Cang arrived at the old man's office.

He knocked on the door a few times gently.

The old man's voice came from inside the office.

"Please come in."

Immediately, Ye Cang pushed open the office door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, Ye Cang saw that the old man was busy.

If it were in the past, Ye Cang would certainly have waited patiently for the old man to finish his work.

But this time, Ye Cang went straight to the point.

"I have something to discuss with you, a very important matter; please stop for a moment."

Upon hearing Ye Cang's voice, the old man stopped what he was doing and looked up at Ye Cang.

"Hmm?"

"What important matter, Xiao Cang?"

"You rarely say you have something important."

Ye Cang nodded.

"Yes, that is indeed the case; this time the situation is different, it concerns Huaxia."

"Give me our procurement prices for minerals and such; I need to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the old man revealed a slightly helpless expression.

"Xiao Cang, didn't I tell you? You can just go look at these things yourself; there's no need to come find me."

As he spoke, he opened his computer.

Ye Cang did not speak, but instead sat in the chair opposite the old man.

A moment later, Ye Cang's brow furrowed.

After checking, he discovered.

Even the prices for internal purchases had risen quite a bit, though not to an exaggerated extent.

This discovery made Ye Cang's expression turn gloomy.

Very good, very good.

Someone actually dared to inflate prices, and their reach was so long.

How did they dare to do such a thing? They really took him for a fool!

After understanding what was going on, Ye Cang said to the old man: "I've finished looking."

"I have things to do on my side, so I'll be leaving first."

After saying this, he didn't even give the old man a chance to speak, and turned to leave.

Watching Ye Cang's back, the old man was somewhat puzzled.

But he didn't think much of it, because all his energy was focused on the matter of honoring the predecessors.

Furthermore, he trusted Ye Cang.

No matter what kind of problem arose, Ye Cang could handle it properly, otherwise he wouldn't have invested all his energy.

At this moment, in some corner of the world.

A meeting was quietly unfolding.

The scale of the meeting was not large, with only a dozen or so people.

And these dozen or so people were uniformly dressed in black clothes and wearing black hats.

"How are the prices?" said the person sitting in the main seat.

"Prices have already risen a lot, but they haven't reached the target goal yet; in about another month or so, the target goal can be reached."

The person sitting below replied.

"Very good, if we can reach the target goal ahead of schedule, we can raise the target again then."

"You must understand, sometimes force is not everything; the economy is also very important. Today, we are going to teach Huaxia an important lesson!"

Following these words from the person in the main seat.

The people below immediately began to applaud.

Immediately after, they discussed some other matters, and only then did this meeting conclude.

By this time, Ye Cang had already returned to his office and began using Zhizi to trace the source.

He wanted to find out who exactly was inflating the prices.

For others, the time for tracing might be extremely long, but for Zhizi, it was merely a matter of a few minutes.

After Zhizi completed the tracing, it also attached a video of the meeting for Ye Cang.

When Ye Cang finished watching, he finally understood what was going on.

However, Ye Cang did not take action.

Instead, he sat there quietly thinking until dawn, only then making a move.

The next second.

Hans Cat, who was sleeping, received a call request from Ye Cang.

This sudden call request startled Hans Cat so much he jumped three feet high.

He did not understand why Ye Cang would be looking for him.

Ever since surrendering, he had been keeping to himself and had done nothing; he hadn't missed a single daily ideology class, and his exam scores were all A's.

As for learning the Huaxia language... let's not talk about that... it really is too difficult...

In short, he really hadn't caused any trouble!

With a nervous heart, Hans Cat connected the communication.

"Chief Engineer Ye..." Hans Cat said in broken Huaxia, but before he could finish his sentence,

Ye Cang interrupted him directly.

"Come to Huaxia; Chixiao is already waiting for you outside."

This command to come to Huaxia made Hans Cat's heart sink into despair.

He was being told to go to Huaxia?

It seemed his life was truly coming to an end.

After tidying himself up briefly, Hans Cat boarded Chixiao with a sense of resignation to his fate.

One hour later, Hans Cat arrived in Ye Cang's office.

"Ch-Chief Engineer Ye, good morning," Hans Cat said tremblingly.

"May I ask, is there something you need me for?"

Ye Cang nodded.

"Mm, you could say there is something."

"Sit."

Ye Cang said, pointing to the chair opposite him.

"There is hot water over there; if you want to drink, go get it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Hans Cat hurriedly sat down, but as for the hot water...

Forget it, he really wasn't in the mood to drink.

"Chief Engineer Ye, please tell me what the matter is; the way you are acting, I am really very scared."

Ye Cang:...

Was he really that scary?

He didn't eat people!

But even though Hans Cat said this, Ye Cang still did not state the matter directly.

Instead, he started talking about other things as if making small talk.

"I treated someone to hot pot last night, you know? I spent 500,000 on this meal."

"I never imagined such a price in my dreams; it was truly exaggerated."

Hans Cat:???

Hot pot?

He didn't understand...

Looking at the confused Hans Cat, Ye Cang had no intention of explaining.

Instead, he continued: "I have discovered that besides hot pot, the prices of many things have begun to skyrocket."

"Why do you think that is?"

"Hans Cat."

"I don't know," Hans Cat shook his head subconsciously.

But Ye Cang denied it directly.

"No, you do know."

"So I am going to entrust this matter to you; I want to see global prices come down within a week. From now on, you have the authority to mobilize a squad of Super Soldiers."

Having said that, Ye Cang ignored Hans Cat's reaction, stood up, and left his office.

Leaving only a terrified and confused Hans Cat sitting there.

It took a full while before Hans Cat finally calmed down, and his brain could continue to think.

He tried hard to recall Ye Cang's words, attempting to understand Ye Cang's meaning.

Why entrust this matter to him?

He clearly...

Wait, he understood!
