Chapter 81 075 Heixue

Stuck on the road of the Imperial Capital's third ring, Liu Zhe, who started his own business but was not much different from office workers, covered his mouth and coughed twice. The girl sitting in his passenger seat, speaking fluent Chinese yet slightly accented, expressed her concern, "Oppa, the air is still so bad today, maybe you shouldn't go to work."

Liu Zhe looked at his Korean girlfriend, who was very pretty, especially with her very fair skin, and said, "This is a critical time for the company. If we can't secure this round of VC funding, the company will fall into financial trouble. But if we can just get through this, your boyfriend could be worth hundreds of millions."

His girlfriend, Liu Xiuzhen, furrowed her brows and said, "But Oppa, you already have a chronic respiratory condition and the poor air quality here in the Imperial Capital will only worsen your condition. I don't care about how much money you make; I just want you to be healthy."

Hearing this, Liu Zhe felt quite moved. Liu Xiuzhen was a South Rod student who hadn't been in Country C for long when she met Liu Zhe, who was still in school at the time. Unlike the South Rod men Liu Xiuzhen knew, Liu Zhe was a real man of the Imperial Capital, sometimes his jokes were poor, but he was righteous and especially good to his girlfriend.

Liu Zhe was quite satisfied with his girlfriend from a neighboring country; he liked girls with fair skin, and Liu Xiuzhen was exactly his type. Plus, she was a refreshing presence in South Rod, where plastic surgery was as common as eating; she hadn't had any surgery and was naturally quite pretty.

However, the next statement from Liu Xiuzhen greatly displeased Liu Zhe. She said, "Oppa, let's settle down in Korea instead. The environment and air quality are much better there, unlike in Country C where it's especially dirty everywhere. And your project, my father would definitely be willing to fund it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhe's face immediately fell. Liu Xiuzhen came from a well-off family, her father was somewhat of an entrepreneur in South Rod, part of the Samsons Corporation supply chain, and thus had some financial clout.

Their family's primary business over the years had been dealing with Country C, which was why they sent Liu Xiuzhen, who was also fond of Country C culture, to study in the Imperial Capital.

Liu Zhe felt his girlfriend was pretty and had a gentle disposition, but the only bad thing about her was that she would occasionally show a sense of superiority he found ridiculous.

Clutching the steering wheel and not even glancing at her, he responded, "Forget it, I do not think living in your country would be any good. Just the food alone; every meal is kimchi, it seems varied, but it's all the same thing, I'm not used to it, not used to it at all."

As he spoke, his girlfriend became upset, and as she spoke, tears began to form, "Oppa, this makes me very sad. I'm willing to compromise on anything for you, but can't you compromise for me?"

Liu Zhe was quite astonished, but like most people, he wasn't scared. Yesterday, the Iridium Star Chancellor visited the Imperial Capital, and the news was full of his fancy spaceship. The news had announced that China had officially established diplomatic relations with the United Empire.

Although people still didn't understand much about Iridium Star, everyone naively believed that since the two nations had established relations, and the Chancellor was actually our compatriot, there shouldn't be any risk of conflict. Many were actually assessing the impact of the diplomatic relations and that Star Alliance concept on China.

At the moment, Liu Zhe hadn't thought about these issues; his mind was mainly on the first round of financing for his internet company. To many, even if aliens appeared, it would be just a topic for casual chat if they didn't invade us and wouldn't significantly impact our lives.

However, Liu Zhe now knew that such an assumption was hugely mistaken.

The gigantic spaceship floated in the sky, continuously emitting fine blue electric lights from its hull. Large tubes extended from the body, visibly sucking black dust particles into the massive spaceship.

More numerous smaller vessels also joyously flew through the skies of the Imperial Capital, and people were astonished to find that these ships left behind black "snowflakes" wherever they passed. Some of the black snowflakes were sucked up by the massive spaceship, while others created a bizarre spectacle of black snow falling over the city.

Liu Xiuzhen also held her phone, pulling her boyfriend excitedly, "Friends' circles are full of little videos shooting this—the Imperial Capital is experiencing black snow."

Seeing this, Liu Zhe laughed mischievously, pulling his head back in from the window but not closing it, "This isn't black snow; it's the dirty stuff in the air, capturing everything from PM2.5 to PM10 all at once."

Liu Xiuzhen was also incredibly shocked, watching the flying spaceships, she asked, "Are the aliens helping the Chinese government control air pollution?"

Liu Zhe, holding his girlfriend's face with one hand and grinning mischievously, replied, "Exactly, that's it. I'm not worried anymore. I'm not going anywhere; I'll stay in the Imperial Capital."

As he spoke these words of relief, his mind was racing. It seemed that the arrival of the Iridium Star people on Earth was going to greatly impact people's lives. They were even tackling air pollution; this would not only endear the Iridium Star people to the ordinary folks of China, but it would also raise more expectations towards Iridium Star.

Who knows what kind of thrilling scene it would be when more of Iridium Star's advanced technology entered people's lives.
