Chapter 333: Chapter 331 Transaction Successful_1 Chapter 333: Chapter 331 Transaction Successful_1 “What’s wrong?” Colin was a bit puzzled.
As he spoke, a mber of the logistics team, with a flashing red light under his helt, trembled as he stretched out his hand, pointing at him with a quivering finger as if he wanted to say sothing, but no sound ca out.
It was clear that his emotions were very agitated at the mont.
However, Colin wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion, but he faintly felt that these emotions were complex, including a sense of grievance, anger, and sorrow.
“Speak up. Is there a problem?”
Colin didn’t understand the reason for the other’s resentnt.
But at that mont, a fist stretched out from the train and heavily struck the back of the head of the logistics mber.
With a “bang.”
The logistics team leader dragged him back into the train and then, towards Colin, gestured with his hands as if to apologize.
“Click.”
The train doors closed, and amidst a chiming bell, it slowly moved away into the distance.
The surrounding mist gradually dissipated…
Colin also extinguished the fla.
But he was still puzzled about the distressed emotions of that mber.
He couldn’t understand how soone could harbor such resentnt towards him, especially since he always acted kindly and didn’t make enemies with anyone.
Especially soone from the Corps…
As he pondered, he suddenly realized sothing, and turned to look at the high-ranking guard nad Chang Wei, “Did you offend soone from a company?”
After speaking, Colin frowned as he saw the guy behind him stare blankly ahead, clenched his lips tightly, as if enduring sothing…
It wasn’t until Colin turned around that he rembered what had just been said, but before he could speak…
“Vomiting”…
He suddenly bent over and vomited a “rainbow,” the sour sll of viscous stomach acid mixed with fernted food wafting through the air.
Colin stepped back unchanged, letting the fla cloak his body to avoid getting splattered by the vomit.
“Was this due to a direct gaze at the train or sothing that caused the status to beco chaotic?”
With a quick glance, Colin could guess the reason, and he estimated that the other party had been enduring it during the business transaction, which is why there had been no movent until now.
And now, as he had lifted the containnt of fla, people outside seed to have sensed sothing and reopened the door…
As soon as they ca in, Xu Duojin and others saw Chang Wei lying on the ground vomiting incessantly, as if trying to bring up last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, everyone present could determine that his problem wasn’t serious.
Xu Duojin looked around and noticed that the various containnt units hadn’t disappeared, but everything inside them was gone…
“Mr. Colin, regarding the transaction…”
“The transaction went smoothly,” Colin waved his hand. “As for when the items produced will be returned, I’m not sure. If it’s fast, maybe one or two weeks, if it’s slow, it might take over a month.”
The “Humility Knight” legacy had taken about half a month to arrive previously.
Upon hearing this, Xu Duojin’s face showed a hint of a smile, “That’s fine, that’s fine… As for the items, there’s no rush.”
To them, the “items” were nice to have, but it was no big deal if they didn’t have them…
Leveraging the company to deal with problems that were difficult to resolve was the real core of their business deal.
‘How co it feels like they’re slacking off? With this attitude, how can I urge the company to speed up production…’ Colin pondered, pursing his lips; he was eager to get a hold of so good deals and profits.
After thinking it over, he reminded them, “You all can start preparing the equipnt list for the next phase of the transaction. If there’s nothing else, I should be going. Also, if you aren’t satisfied with the progress of the item crafting, you can give feedback.”
He slightly slowed down his speech for the last part.
“Okay, okay…” Xu Duojin nodded his head and said no more.
‘Why do I feel uneasy about this?’
Shaking his head, Colin didn’t continue to remind him and, accompanied by a staff mber, he turned and left the place.
Outside, Hu Zheng and the others had been waiting for a long ti.
Previously, the transactions made inside were all at least of the Sixth Level, so they didn’t have the credentials to enter and could only wait outside.
Colin didn’t say much and led them towards the exit, but halfway through, he suddenly paused, sniffed the air, and frowned.
“What’s wrong?” Hu Zheng asked from one side.
“I thought I slled sothing, but I must be overthinking it.”
Colin pondered the mont prior, feeling like he had detected a scent but then again it seed like nothing.
After thinking it over, he asked Hu Zheng to remind Xu Duojin and the others to check inside later on, and then without further delay, he turned and continued to leave…
This ti, after leaving the trade site, Colin didn’t choose to go directly ho, but instead went to the New Blue Sky Welfare Institute, a place he hadn’t visited in a long ti.
Two hours later, a helicopter gently landed on the helipad atop a large building.
Colin walked down from it and then left the building, casually purchasing so gifts before taking a car for another fifteen minutes and arriving at the newly renovated New Blue Sky Welfare Institute.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been back…”
Even with all his experiences, Colin couldn’t help but feel a surge of nervous emotions as he stood at the entrance.
Taking a deep breath, he walked in.
Perhaps it was the timing, but the children were in classes inside the institute, so he didn’t see anyone.
However, after walking a bit further, Colin saw a familiar old man, looking robust but, in reality, in his eighties and nearing ninety—an authentically old man, unlike the cases of “Old Master Wu.”
At that mont, the old man sat in a grandmaster’s chair, engrossed in sothing on his phone.
A naless emotion welled up inside him…
“Grandpa Chen.”
Colin called out, but the old man did not respond.
After a mont of silence, he didn’t continue speaking and instead walked up to the old man to find him watching a piano tutorial video, absorbed in learning…
The piano teacher’s instrunt was grand and white, captivating the old man completely.
After quite a while, the video finally ended, and the old man smacked his lips as if wanting to savor the experience. However, he abruptly noticed soone by his side and was so startled that he sat up straight in his grandmaster’s chair.
“Holy moly, who’s that? You gave a start… Wait, Colin? Little Colin?”
The old man held his phone, squinting and looking uncertain.
“Yes, it’s .” Colin smiled and nodded, setting down the milk and other items he had bought.
“Tsk tsk, a rare visitor indeed. It’s been so long, I thought you’d only co back after I’d died,” the old man said in jest, unceremoniously accepting the gifts.
Speaking of which, who would pass first was really uncertain… Colin didn’t explain his condition of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and simply smiled as he said:
“I just happened to have so free ti, so I thought I’d co back and have a look.”
“All right, all right. First, go and visit your parents at the cetery in the back hill. There’s beer in the fridge; bring one with you.”
“Okay.”
Colin nodded, took a bottle of beer, and after passing through the institute, he went out the back door into the hills. After a while, he arrived at a very well-maintained graveyard.
Walking a few steps among the graves, he then found his parents’ tombstones.
