Chapter 459: Restarting the Modern Times 12

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, why don't we go sit in the rest area first. The environment there is quiet and we can discuss this cooperation plan while drinking tea."

Liu Xiangyu nodded slightly in agreement.

Chao Yao stood up gracefully, made a "please" gesture, and then led Liu Xiangyu to the rest area with light steps.

There are exquisite tables and chairs here, surrounded by various blooming flowers, the air is filled with fragrance.

Chao Yao gestured to Liu Xiangyou to sit down, and he slightly turned sideways and reached out to gently arrange the tea set on the table.

Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she was treating a precious work of art.

Chao Yao personally brewed a pot of special scented tea for Liu Xiangyu.

Her movements were gentle and skillful. Hot water was poured into the teapot, and the tea leaves rolled in the water, emitting bursts of fragrance.

"Mr. Liu, this is the unique scented tea of ​​our B&B, please try it."

Chao Yao handed a cup of scented tea to Liu Xiangyu with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

Liu Xiangyu picked up the teacup, sniffed it gently, and nodded slightly to show his appreciation.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he was obviously quite satisfied with the aroma of the scented tea.

Then, he took a sip and savored it carefully, then put down the teacup, looked at Chao Yao and said, "Ms. Chao Yao, this floral tea tastes very good."

Then, Chao Yao leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on the table, and began to systematically explain his views and questions about the cooperation:

"Mr. Liu, I have some doubts about the research direction and time arrangement of this cooperation plan. I would like to know from which specific aspects the Special Affairs Bureau intends to study these flowers? In addition, how to ensure the safety and integrity of the flowers during the research process?" Her eyes revealed a hint of worry and caution.

Liu Xiangyu put down the teacup, leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and crossed his hands on his chest.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Ms. Chaoyao, I think we all know why these plants have such effects. I came here today just to confirm it."

Chao Yao raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of calmness and composure.

"Mr. Liu, I think some things may not need to be explained so clearly. I only discovered the uniqueness of these flowers by chance, and I am still exploring the reasons behind it. But what I can be clear about is that my flower sea homestay has its unique value, and this value cannot be easily copied."

She gently picked up her teacup, took a sip of the tea gracefully, and continued, "Regarding cooperation, I hope the Special Affairs Bureau can fully respect my position and rights. After all, these flowers are the result of my careful cultivation and care. I hope to have more say in the research direction and time arrangement."

"As for the safety and integrity of the flowers, I believe the Special Affairs Bureau has sufficient capabilities and professionalism to ensure it, but I will also pay close attention to the entire research process."

Chao Yao fixed his gaze firmly on Liu Xiangyu and continued, "Mr. Liu, I am willing to cooperate with the Special Affairs Bureau because I see the positive impact that cooperation can bring. But this does not mean that I will cooperate unconditionally. I hope that we can explore these flowers together on the basis of equality, respect and mutual benefit."

Liu Xiangyu originally wanted to point it out clearly and then start negotiating the terms directly, but he didn't expect Chao Yao to look so gentle and his attitude was not one to give in.

He sat up slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He raised his hand gently, straightened the cuffs of his straight suit, then crossed his fingers in front of him and said:

"Ms. Chaoyao, the Special Affairs Bureau has always been committed to exploring and protecting those special beings. Your Flower Sea B&B and these magical flowers are undoubtedly the focus of our attention. I think maybe you can consider joining the Special Affairs Bureau."

He paused, his eyes slowly swept across the blooming flowers around him, and continued:

"Look, every flower here seems to contain endless mysteries. The Special Affairs Bureau is like a huge treasure house, with advanced research equipment, professional research teams and rich resources."

“By joining us, you will not only have more resources and support in studying these flowers, but also be exposed to more unknown and mysterious things. We can provide you with a broader platform to better display your talents and development.”

Liu Xiangyu raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing sincerity and expectation. He continued, "Moreover, the Special Affairs Bureau has strict rules and regulations and safeguards. Our security system is like an airtight fortress that can ensure your safety and rights."

"You don't have to worry about any unnecessary risks. I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will be able to play an important role in the Special Affairs Bureau."

Chao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze stayed on Liu Xiangyu for a moment, then he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the scented tea.

Her expression was calm, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.

After putting down the teacup, Chao Yao said softly: "Mr. Liu, the Special Affairs Bureau does sound very attractive. But I run this flower sea B&B, and I also have my own responsibilities and concerns. Joining the Special Affairs Bureau is a major decision for me, and I need time to think about it carefully."

She paused slightly, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, and then continued: "Besides, I still know very little about the Special Affairs Bureau. Before I make a decision, I hope to have a deeper understanding of you, including how you operate, your goals, and what I can really gain from the cooperation."

Chao Yao's tone was firm but polite. He neither completely rejected Liu Xiangyu's proposal nor was he easily moved by his words.

Liu Xiangyu nodded slightly, with understanding in his eyes.

He adjusted his sitting posture again, leaning forward slightly, with his hands naturally placed on his knees, and said in an increasingly sincere tone:

"Ms. Zhao Yao, I understand your concerns. The Special Affairs Bureau is indeed full of mystery in the eyes of the public, but please believe that our mission is pure and noble, and it is to protect the safety of the country and the people."

"We recruit talented people from all over the country not for any other improper purpose, but to enable them to bring into play their special talents at critical moments to cope with various unknown challenges."

His eyes slowly swept across the colorful flowers around him, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"Just like these magical flowers in your Flower Sea B&B, their presence is likely to have a positive and profound impact on people's lives."

“The Special Affairs Bureau can provide you with a more stable and secure environment, allowing you to continue exploring the mysteries of these flowers without worries.”

"At the same time, you can also communicate and cooperate with other people with special talents to contribute to the country and the people. This kind of cooperation is not only a responsibility, but also an honor."

Liu Xiangyu paused for a moment, as if giving Chao Yao some time to think about his words.

Then, he continued, "Our team is made up of professional scientists, scholars, and agents, all of whom have extensive experience and expertise. In the Special Affairs Bureau, you will have the opportunity to access the most advanced technology and research results, and explore unknown areas with them."

“We will also provide you with generous treatment and benefits to ensure that your life and work are fully protected. Whether it is a comfortable living environment or sufficient research resources, we will do our best to meet your needs.”

Liu Xiangyu's eyes were full of anticipation. He stared at Chao Yao closely, hoping to catch a hint of relaxation from her expression.

"Ms. Zhao Yao, by joining the Special Affairs Bureau, you will start a new journey in life. Here, you can give full play to your talents, realize your own value, and make indelible contributions to the country and the people. I sincerely hope that you can seriously consider my proposal."
