The negotiations were going quite well.

After Shen Feixian subtly expressed that he was hungry, a staff member brought the two of them to the cafeteria of the operations group, which was a makeshift kitchen set up in the former conference room.

Once Shen Feixian and Song Jixing were seated, dishes started flowing out like running water.

After researching Song Jixing's enormous appetite, the research lab personnel speculated that Shen Feixian's appetite was about the same, so they prepared enough food for twenty people.

The dishes were takeout orders from nearby Michelin-starred restaurants, then reheated by the chefs in the makeshift kitchen.

Considering that the portion sizes at Michelin-starred restaurants were likely much smaller than home-cooked meals, the chefs combined two portions together for each dish they plated and sent out.

In total there were fourteen hot dishes, four cold dishes, a bowl of soup, and a plate of chicken legs.

As Shen Feixian ate, he expressed his thoughts, "I think this could work. After all, they've prepared so much food for us. If they provide food and lodging in the future, life wouldn't be too bad..."

Song Jixing remained silent and didn't share her opinion yet.

Logically speaking, if they really worked for their superiors, with only food and lodging provided, it would be quite exploitative.

Song Jixing wasn't sure if Shen Feixian was trying to numb their willpower with those words, or if those were his true feelings.

She quietly ate her food, planning to enter the interrogation room afterward.

Even if it was a makeshift cafeteria, there were still cameras and recording devices present. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com

Or rather, they didn't even need those things - someone sitting in the next room could hear everything clearly.

At that moment, Wu Xiao was sitting in the adjacent room, responsible for security and listening in on Shen Feixian's words.

According to protocol, he had to record those words and relay them verbatim to his superiors, without any embellishment.

That was his duty.

As for whether they were true or false, professionals would come to process and judge that.

After the two finished eating dinner, Wu Xiao invited them to the lounge to watch TV.

The lounge was also makeshift, with a large flatscreen TV brought in and connected. Some cucumber and orange slices were taken from the kitchen and placed in a plate on the table.

Mainly because the special operations team didn't really have any place for leisure and entertainment, so they had to temporarily set up a TV watching area for the two.

"The senior leadership is in a meeting right now, please wait a moment, the meeting will end soon," Wu Xiao said.

Although their superiors didn't explicitly state how to handle this matter, they only said to treat the two well.

Just based on that, Wu Xiao could infer many things.

If the cooperative relationship was established, the two would not only be honored guests of their research institute, but also a beacon of hope for this land's future.
