"Of course he knows!" Harry chimed in enthusiastically, typing something on his tablet. "Miss Thorne and I have already analyzed your purchasing patterns, Mr. Hendrik. And we gotta admit, your execution was absolutely brilliant!""B-Brilliant?" Hendrik parroted, his brain completely numb."Yes!" Elena pivoted to face Julian, gazing at the CEO with boundless admiration. "Julian purposely told you to use the black market broker route and that corrupt general, didn't he? If Julian had bought that land through official channels for two million dollars, the local government would've gotten suspicious right away! They'd have sent an appraisal team, detected the lithium content, and canceled the sale!""But by markin' up the price to fifty million dollars through 'dirty' transactions and disguised bribes..." Harry
Chapter 97: The Desert's Betrayal and Hendrik's Confession
That morning, Julian Vance sat limply with a blank stare in his cold office. On his desk lay a tube containing a glowing blue liquid sample from the Atacama Desert. The bright light from the liquid stung his eyes, as stinging as the despair he couldn't even cry over.His office door was thrown open roughly. Elena marched in swiftly and firmly, followed by Harry who carried a thick stack of documents. Behind them, Hendrik, the Head of Procurement, trailed limply with a pale face and cold sweat."Julian!" Elena exclaimed joyfully, slamming the documents onto the desk. "The geological analysis results are out! You know what our drill just spewed out in the Atacama?!"Julian rolled his eyes lazily. "Radioactive waste? Alien poison? Please give me some bad news.""Bad news?! Drop the act!" Elen
Chapter 96: The Blue Etherium Gusher in the Atacama Hell
The giant screen flickered, displaying Hendrik's figure. The Head of Procurement was seen wearing a bright yellow hazmat suit, complete with goggles fogged up with sweat. Behind him stretched an endless expanse of desert sand illuminated by the blinding, scorching sun. The air around him appeared to ripple from the extreme heat."B-Boss Julian..." Hendrik's voice sounded static-laced and breathless from behind his oxygen mask. "Reportin' from the Atacama Basecamp. This... this place is an absolute hellhole. The temperature out here is hitting forty-five degrees Celsius, and my Geiger counter hasn't stopped beepin' since I got off the chopper!""Perfect!" Julian immediately leaped to his feet, his enthusiasm exploding once again. He stared at the screen with sparkling eyes, completely ignoring the suspicious stares of Chloe and Elena behind him. "That
Chapter 95: The Main Headline and the Secret of the Desert Land
"Boss! Boss Julian! You gotta see this right now!"Harry rushed into Julian's office, nearly tripping over the Persian rug near the door. The Head of IT shoved a wide-screen tablet right into the face of Julian, who was peacefully enjoying a morning cup of coffee."What is it now, Harry?" Julian sighed, staring at the screen lazily. "Did our astronaut registration server crash 'cause nobody wants to sign up? Oh, please tell me yes. I'm really hopin' there ain't a single unemployed person stupid enough to hand their life over to me.""On the contrary, Boss!" Harry smiled so widely his upper gums showed. "Our server went down for ten minutes 'cause of an overload! And not only that, look at the main headline on the international news portal this mornin'!"Julian furrowed his brow. His eyes read the row of bold letters on the scree
Chapter 94: The Hellish Simulation Grounds and the Secret of the Atacama Desert
"Now," Julian turned his gaze to the pale man at the end of the table, "Hendrik. Stand up."Hendrik jolted from his chair as if he had just been electrocuted. "I-I didn't embezzle the funds for the office chairs last week, Boss! I swear! That... that was an unexpected administrative fee!""I don't care about the office chairs, Hendrik!" Julian waved his hand impatiently. "Before we can send people to Mars, we gotta train 'em in a simulated environment on Earth. I'm givin' you a highly crucial task. I want you to buy a plot of land to serve as the Tengda Mars Simulation Center.""L-Land, Boss? In Riverdale?""Not in the city!" Julian argued. "Find me the most arid, barren, useless piece of land on the face of the Earth. A place where no plant can survive, where the dry air is torturou
Chapter 93: Astronaut Requirement and Commander Benson
The main boardroom of Tengda Corp that morning felt more like the headquarters of a secret cult plotting a global coup than a startup company.Julian Vance stood tall in front of the giant glass whiteboard. With a blazing red marker, he wrote three words in massive capital letters: TENGDA MARS PIONEER PROJECT.Around the round, black marble table, Tengda Corp's core staff sat with a variety of expressions. Chloe Sterling gracefully held her gold-plated pen, Elena Thorne glared sharply like a warlord, Nadine Prescott had a dictionary-thick notebook at the ready, while Harry typed at the speed of light on his tablet.At the very end of the table, Hendrik, the Head of Procurement, looked pale and kept wiping away cold sweat. And right next to him, Benson, the General Field Operations Manager, was sound asleep with his head resting on the table, snoring with an inc
