Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Throughout Earths history, many men have met their end in such ways, warranting caution.

Commander, the ribbon-cutting event isnt crucial for us. Even though we arent sure of their intentions, we could avoid some manipulation by going against the expected

So, my suggestion is to have a robot take your place in the ribbon-cutting. Secretly observe the scene, and we might uncover something!

Zhao Yu understood Uncle Das implication he feared Earthlings might manipulate the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Although the likelihood was slim, it was still possible.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu nodded and replied, Then lets have the robot cut the ribbon

Is there anything else?!

..

Yes, the resources worth two hundred and thirty million Blue Moon dollars that you sent back are in place. The five hundred transport s.h.i.+ps will be ready in another day. I will ensure theyre delivered as soon as theyre completed

Alright, thats a minor issue. Handle it as you deem fit

Having finished the discussion, Zhao Yu began his morning routine. After freshening up and checking Earths time, he noted there were still two hours before the ribbon-cutting. He didnt linger and promptly boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to make his way.

Youre not partic.i.p.ating in the ribbon-cutting? Colonel Chu was taken aback and quickly questioned, Didnt we previously agree on this?

Zhao Yu deliberately brought this up when Colonel Chu was preoccupied, intending to gauge his reaction.

In such instances, the first response usually best revealed ones innermost thoughts.

From his reaction, it seemed Councilman Chu indeed had something up his sleeve. Perhaps there was a trick brewing post ribbon-cutting.

Colonel Chu, realizing his over reaction, coughed and added, Weve made certain arrangements and rehearsals for your ribbon-cutting ceremony. If youre not partic.i.p.ating, we might need to reorganize

This is Blue Moon Technologys debut on the global stage. I was hoping for a flawless execution, hence my nervousness. My apologies for the abruptness earlier

Zhao Yu smiled and dismissed the concern, Its fine, it just means youll need to adjust the plans

Colonel Chu tread lightly, Its no trouble. You are free to not partic.i.p.ate, but, if I may ask, is there a particular reason?

Zhao Yu shrugged, casting a glance at the sky, and offhandedly commented, I thought having a robot cut the ribbon could be a good way to advertise the product

Understanding dawned on Colonel Chu. Likely the aliens from the moon didnt approve, leading to the sudden change of plans.

Alright, rest a.s.sured. Well handle it. But, will you be attending in person? Weve arranged seats for you

He verbally questioned about the ribbon-cutting, but deep down he was pondering why the aliens objected to Zhao Yus ribbon-cutting appearance.

This seemed to be critical information, potentially indicative of the aliens stance!

How are the seats arranged?

Instead of immediately responding, Zhao Yu asked back. He hadnt forgotten his role he was representing the aliens in negotiations with Earth.

The seats arc divided into the main seat and the guest seat. The main seat is a row of seats for your side, our side, and the local side. Your seat is at the center, and there might be a speech segment

After briefly pondering, Zhao Yu responded, No need for a speech. Leave the center seat vacant, Ill sit on the side!

Understood!

Colonel Chu nodded, then continued, Post ribbon-cutting, its customary to tour the guests around, showcasing our facilities to the world. Your thoughts?

They can take a look around, as they please! Zhao Yu wasnt worried about people visiting the factory was on Earth, after all.

Colonel Chu intended to suggest that the host should accompany the guests, but since Zhao Yu didnt seem interested, he let it slide.

Worst case scenario, he could act as the host and guide the guests himself.

Once everything was agreed upon, Zhao Yu went off to rest. Unlike others bustling around, he, the host, enjoyed leisure.

Munching on melon seeds, he contemplated what Colonel Chu might be planning behind his reactions.

Elsewhere, after Colonel Chu briefly communicated about the ribbon-cutting adjustments, he promptly called Xia Du to relay that Zhao Yu wouldnt partic.i.p.ate in the ceremony.

I hope you can quickly figure out why they didnt want Zhao Yu to be the one cutting the ribbon and appearing in the spotlight
