When everyone saw Chen Lin sitting on the stage and talking with the vice president with a smile, they couldn't help but shake their heads and so many people at the scene, Chen Lin was indeed the only one who had the privilege of going on stage.
At this time, Chen Lin also noticed that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit strange. He looked up and noticed that many people were looking at him. He immediately realized what was going on. He immediately said something to the vice president next to him and ran downstairs.
The vice president smiled and didn't care. He waved his hand to signal everyone not to stop. The detailed work content of the project team still needs the coordination of the heads of these bases to allocate resources and support various materials. Discussion is essential.
"In fact, we have never appointed a person in charge of the Northern Base in accordance with the conventional practice. It has always been a temporary position arranged by the association or managed directly by the association. This time, it seems that we need to create a position of the Northern Base Chief in this place."
"The space elevator is a high-end thing. It was a common feature in various science fiction works and movies. It is indeed impossible for us humans to build it with our previous technological level."
"But our technology has far surpassed the past, and this kind of thing can now be put on the table and discussed."
The vice president said to the people present: "The project team needs help from all bases. We can't always let the association pay for everything. We can simply discuss the next expenditures..."
It was several hours later when Chen Lin came out of the conference room. He ran to the cafeteria at the outpost base with a hungry stomach. A group of people were eating on the third floor. After all, they were the general managers of each base now. Even if Chen Lin wanted to eat on the first floor, the guards would not let him go alone.
In addition, this time the vice president personally asked to talk to Chen Lin, so Chen Lin had no chance to go to the first floor.
As expected, the vice president sat together with Chen Lin during the meal. In fact, this made Chen Lin feel quite disappointed, but he couldn't show it directly. So he had no choice but to sit face to face with the vice president and have dinner.
The vice president's meaning was actually very simple. He came specifically to ask Chen Lin about the matters at Anyun Base. As the person in charge of Anyun Base, Chen Lin of course had first-hand knowledge of such matters.
The two people started with a simple chat and soon got to the main topic. The vice president asked about the progress of the starship project at Anyun Base, which Chen Lin was in charge of.
"The infrastructure has already been completed. When I visited last month, the first starship was already halfway built. If we continue with our construction speed, the second ship should be almost under construction."
Chen Lin put down his chopsticks and said to the vice president in front of him: "If you need it, I can ask my assistant to provide you with a detailed document later."
The vice president nodded with a smile: "How is your work going? Are there any difficulties?"
"Vice President Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I, Chen Lin, am not the kind of person who is used to beating around the bush. Talking like this is very tiring for me."
Chen Lin spoke directly, but the vice president was not angry. He nodded with a smile: "I know, your temper and personality are well known to the senior members of the association... Then I will be frank. The discussion within the association these days is that seeing that your wife is pregnant, and you are going to get married in a few days, you may not be able to take care of the position of the person in charge of Anyun Base."
"I suggest you resign from this position. I will help you deal with this matter at the association. Didn't you say you wanted to resign many times before? This is a good opportunity."
After listening to this, Chen Lin picked up his chopsticks again, picked up some food and ate it while laughing and saying, "Is this what Vice President Wang meant, or what the association as a whole means?"
"Of course...it's my personal opinion."
Chen Lin suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He was too lazy to say anything more to the vice president in front of him. He said directly: "Before, I shouted that I wanted to resign because I had not worked in this position for a long time at that time and was not used to it. In addition, I was used to being free and easy at the beginning. I was a little uncomfortable with having a formal position, and such a big responsible position, all of a sudden."
"I have been working in this position for several years now. To be frank, I can even rotate normally if I work for a little more than a year. It's not appropriate for you and me to resign now, right?"
Vice President Wang wanted to say something, but Chen Lin smiled and continued, "I heard clearly what President Li meant at the beginning. As long as I don't make any mistakes and there are no major problems, this position will always be mine... Now the association has sent me a lot of capable helpers, and even if I'm not here at Anyun Base, they can handle it properly. I really don't want to withdraw now."
Vice President Wang sighed slightly and said, "In that case, I won't say any more. You have been the head of Anyun Base for quite some time, and you have done a good job. President Li also appreciates you for this."
……
The communication between the two sides ended quickly. Chen Lin was eating with chopsticks. Vice President Wang had already left early, but Chen Lin was still pondering the true meaning of the words this guy had just said.
This guy seems to be not very satisfied with continuing to be the person in charge of Anyun Base?
However, Chen Lin really couldn't think of any conflict between him and the vice president. Maybe he was just testing him. If he let go, the other party would immediately express his willingness to help him deal with it. Then Chen Lin would not be able to continue even if he wanted to.
Chen Lin shook his head and glanced at the time. There were still two weeks until the wedding date he and Lin Yun had scheduled, so it was almost time to start preparing for the wedding.
Chen Lin and Lin Yun’s wedding is approaching. This important moment not only marks the sublimation of their love, but is also something that the association attaches great importance to.
Chen Lin first returned to the Dalad Continent and took his parents to the Anyun Base on the Taka Continent. Many things at the wedding needed to be taken care of by the two elders. Chen Lin himself seemed very lazy and didn't even intend to do these things himself.
Chen Lin's parents are also extremely excited about the upcoming wedding. They have watched their son grow up and now enter a new stage in his life, and their hearts are filled with emotion.
The scheduled wedding time is mid-November, so they still have some time to prepare for related matters. Lin Yun is also busy preparing for wedding-related matters at Anyun Base in Taka Continent. Anyun Base has almost given the green light all the way, and they get whatever they want.
The preparations for the wedding were proceeding intensely and orderly. The final venue for the wedding was decided to be the auditorium of Anyun Base. Now it has become the venue for the wedding, and the entire auditorium is filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
The interior was decorated like a fairyland, with flowers, ribbons and exquisite decorations everywhere. Chefs from two continents began to carefully prepare the food for the wedding two weeks in advance, hoping to add more beautiful memories to the wedding with their own skills.
During the preparations, the dark elf tribes of the Taka continent also joined in the celebration.
These usually secretive and mysterious creatures were previously placed in the Elf Valley on the Taka continent. Chen Lin actually had a pretty good relationship with this group of dark elves. It was unknown through what channel the news of his marriage reached there, but in the end the dark elves even chose to come out of their hiding place at this special moment and participate in this grand wedding.
The arrival of this group of dark elves really added a touch of mystery and surprise to the wedding. The dark elves brought their unique music and dance to Chen Lin's wedding. These exotic performances made the wedding preparations more enriched. Chen Lin personally came forward to settle this dark elf team, and he even met Naya among them!
However, Naya acted quite naturally. She didn't mention anything during the whole process. She just smiled and mixed in the crowd, occasionally throwing a wink to Chen Lin...
Now Chen Lin has a rough idea of who leaked the information.
The Red Dragon Association also sent a large orchestra. These musicians not only added a joyful atmosphere to the wedding, but also demonstrated the Red Dragon Association's emphasis on this wedding. The orchestra of course also needed accommodation, but Chen Lin did not show up in person. There were people on site who were specifically responsible for this kind of work.
A large number of people also came from the outpost base and the Earth. Some of them were once relatives and friends of Chen Lin and Lin Yun, and some were comrades and colleagues. After hearing that Chen Lin and Lin Yun were going to get married, these people naturally took time out to come and participate...
Their arrival also made Anyun base more lively. Chen Lin kept them all and did not worry about the expenses at all.
The day before the wedding, Chen Lin held a small welcome banquet in the auditorium of Anyun Base. Thousands of people came. Chen Lin and Lin Yun gave speeches at the banquet. They expressed their gratitude to all the people who came to the wedding, and also expressed their gratitude to the Red Dragon Association.
Chen Lin raised his glass and said directly: "If it weren't for the help of the Red Dragon Association, I would never have been able to achieve the scale I have today. The Red Dragon Association is the country of all of us, our roots, and everything to us. Let's all raise our glasses!"
Thousands of people at the scene immediately raised their glasses and drank them all. The dinner Chen Lin had arranged a day in advance was both a rehearsal and a simple invitation.
Those who could arrive at the scene were those with the best relationships, and he even invited the soldiers who had been on the mission with him!
At that time, he was on a patrol mission with these soldiers, and finally met Irina, the princess of the Koman Empire, who was being chased on the other side of the mountains. At that time, Irina was just a princess. Every time Chen Lin thought of it, he just found it very interesting.
Chen Lin came up to a few young men in casual clothes holding a cup. When they saw Chen Lin, they all seemed a little restrained. Although Chen Lin had trained with them for several months, anyone with a discerning eye knew what that meant.
That's the association gilding Chen Lin's reputation!
Now Chen Lin has the rank of colonel, and it is almost unthinkable for him to be promoted any further. Several soldiers are now just about to stand at attention and salute.
Fortunately, Chen Lin smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was just an ordinary time and there was no need to be so serious.
"I'm really glad you guys are here. Although we haven't been comrades for long, I still remember it vividly, especially when we were patrolling together and encountered those green-skinned orcs and saved the princess..."
Chen Lin's words actually relaxed the atmosphere at the scene a lot. After a few people drank some wine, they started talking and they were all very happy chatting.
"...I just wonder if Princess Irina will come this time?"
"She's still a princess. How long has she been the empress? Our people started supporting her not long after we entered here, and helped her to become the empress. The Koman Empire is the largest and most stable indigenous empire on the entire Origin Star, right? She has made endless money and enjoyed endless happiness just by cooperating with us..."
Several people sighed, but Chen Lin said mysteriously, "But I guess she might come here tomorrow."
The people in front of them looked at each other and then started laughing.
"What Colonel Chen said must have a point."
"I also think she will come. We saved her life back then. Now that the most important soldier is getting married, she will at least come in person, right?"
Chen Lin laughed heartily, raised his glass and motioned for everyone to drink, then he found an excuse to slip out of the crowd.
He saw Lin Yun standing not far away and waving at him.
"what happened?"
Chen Lin put down his wine glass and quickly went to his wife. Lin Yun was wearing a black evening dress tonight, which was so stunning that even Chen Lin was surprised. He never expected that Lin Yun would be so beautiful after a little dressing up.
"My father will be here tomorrow morning. He asked me to tell you something. I hope you won't pick on this..."
"Does our dad care about this? As long as he can arrive tomorrow, everything else is trivial."
Chen Lin waved his hand casually and asked, "Have you finished everything that needs to be done?"
"With the help of the association, there is basically nothing to worry about. The association not only supports us with an entire orchestra, but also sets up a large wedding planning group. But it looks to me like that person is your relative..."
Chen Lin burst out laughing immediately. Lin Yun was really forgetful. He had actually appeared many times before when his second brother was helping them process photos. However, to Lin Yun, these people were just passers-by, NPCs, and he basically forgot them as soon as he saw them.
"The success of this wedding is inseparable from the support and help of everyone."
Chen Lin put away his smile and said to Lin Yun: "After the official wedding starts tomorrow, you must say this no matter what!" (End of this chapter)
