Chapter 532: Depression (1/2)
Su Jing did not rush to sort out the trash and he unearthed a lot of gold and silver treasures and other previous things one after another. In the “Wall-E” Universe, the whole earth has become a garbage dump, and the gold and silver treasures have lost their value so it’s normal for them to be thrown away as garbage.
Since the dumping of the garbage, Su Jing has cleaned up about a quarter of it. There are four sacks of valuable things that have been sorted out, and their combined value is absolutely not cheap.
In addition, he had also recovered Six or Seven Wall-Es, but none of them could be activated. They looked like scraps of copper and iron. Of course, Su Jing did not give up hope and prepared to wait for dawn to take them out.
“What is this?” Su Jing picked up a piece of “Glass” of about half a meter long. It was dark black and translucent, surrounded by borders, and one side was connected to a stretchable branch. Su Jing flipped it around for a moment and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He took out his phone and turned on a video screen. Then, he put the “Glass” on top of the phone, and the video of the phone suddenly appeared on the “Glass”, and it was also directly enlarged to the size of the “Glass”, like a computer screen.
“It’s really a magnifying screen. Wali liked to use it to watch videos, but it doesn’t seem to be very useful. If someone wants to zoom in, they can just use a mobile phone or a computer to see it. However, it is good for the collection.” Su Jing feels that this magnified screen does not have much practical value and has no value in R&D and production, but after all, it is a technology that is not available in modern times, and it looks very novel and interesting so he decided to collect it first.
He continued to sort out the garbage, he found a lot of electrical appliances, many of which are not available in modern times. Unfortunately, most of them are tattered and some are even rotten. They have become a pair of scrap copper and rotten iron.
In a blink of an eye, the sun rose and Su Jing put the newly discovered Wall-E’s in the sun, but they still did not start, which made Su Jing quite disappointed. After he had breakfast, he went to see Zheng Xiaoyun.
In an office, Zheng Xiaoyun meets Su Jing and he calls Tao Zhong. Tao Zhong is an honest looking 30-something middle-aged man with a lot of beard and hair in a disordered state. Zheng Xiaoyun had apparently discussed the things with him and he successfully terminated the contract between them and Tao Zhong signed a confidentiality agreement with Su Jing.
“Mr. Tao, I would like to invite you for a cup of coffee. Would you do me this favor?” Su Jing said.
“Mr. Su is polite. There is a good coffee shop nearby. Shall we go there?” Tao Zhong.
“All right.” Su Jing nodded and said to Zheng Xiaoyun, “I will talk to Mr. Tao and see you another day.”
“You guys talk, call me if you have any questions.” Zheng Xiaoyun said. Of course, he knew why Su Jing asked Tao Zhong for coffee, they are going to have a conversation between them.
To be honest, he was originally worried that the termination of the contract would arouse Tao Zhong’s disgust towards him, but after seeing Tao Zhong’s reaction, he felt relieved. Tao Zhong reacted better than he expected and is still extremely loyal to Zheng Family. So, even if Su Jing wants to convince Tao Zhong, he is not afraid.
“Hmph hmph, I lost the bet and I have fulfilled my promise, but I have already hinted tot Tao Zhong that he doesn’t have to work so hard in Su JIng’s Research Institute. He will come back in ten and a half days. I have nothing to lose.” Zheng Xiaoyun watched as Su Jing and Tao Zhong leave his office and he smiled.
In a deserted cafe, Su Jing and Tao Zhong sat facing each other by the window.
“Mr. Su, I probably guessed your intentions, but let me tell you the truth, Zheng Family is kind to me and I will not waste too much time in your Research Institute.” Tao Zhong is obviously a loyal and honest type of person. He doesn’t want to deceive Su Jing so he explained his thoughts straight to the point.
To Tao Zhong’s surprise, Su Jing seemed to have expected him to be like this. He chuckled and said, “It’s okay. There is no time limit in the Confidentiality Agreement. When you want to return to the Zheng Family, it’s your freedom to do so. I have heard that many big companies are poaching you at high prices, but you rejected them every time. I am curious about what kind of kindness Zheng Family did to you to make you so loyal to them.”
“Hehe, Zheng Family is very kind to me. If you are not in any hurry then I would tell you.” Tao Zhong said.
