My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 370 Nighttime, the conversation with that gentleman!
“Ah Zhu,” Zhao Shao suddenly spoke, his fingers flying across the keyboard, “My company’s channels have received a lot of invitations… from private companies and state-owned enterprises!”

Zhao Shao glanced at Chu Zhu and calmly named many famous companies.

After a brief pause, he continued, "They hope that our company... or more precisely, you, can achieve some kind of collaboration with these companies... or they hope you'll give a speech! And the money they're offering... wow!"

Zhao Shao clicked his tongue in amazement; it was an astronomical sum. However, he didn't say it aloud... because he knew Chu Zhu definitely wouldn't care about the money.

"We'll talk about the specifics tomorrow." Chu Zhu rubbed his temples. These collaboration matters were best left to his good brothers. Whenever possible, Chu Zhu would choose to fast-forward.

“Then,” Chu Zhu turned her gaze back to Lin Xia, “let’s continue what we were doing before.”

Lin Xia did not deny it, and with a bitter face, she took out the pen again.

……

Eight o'clock at night.

Jinling University.

Chu Zhu stood outside the principal's office, his mind racing. His memory-detecting ability revealed a difference between this place and the ones he'd been before—seemingly ordinary, but in reality, it was definitely a place that was relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside!
"Mr. Chu, please!" A man dressed in a sharp suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with a gentle and refined demeanor, respectfully gestured for him to enter.

After giving him a deep look, Chu Zhu stepped inside without hesitation, glancing around the office.

There are a total of three people in the office.

Aside from Principal Li, there was an elderly man with black hair wearing a military uniform, though Chu Zhu immediately realized that the old man's hair was dyed black. Also, to his surprise, the old man's uniform did not display any rank insignia.

There was another one, an elderly man with white hair and a gentle smile on his face. Chu Zhu's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart stirred. He often saw this old man in newspapers more than a decade ago—although he didn't see him as often now.

“This is General Qian!” Principal Li stood up and first pointed to the black-haired old man. “You can call him Old Man Qian, or Grandpa Qian! You can call him either.”

Then, Principal Li pointed to the white-haired old man. At this moment, Principal Li's attitude changed, and he became somewhat respectful. He pursed his lips, opened his mouth several times, but in the end he could only smile wryly: "This one... I probably don't need to introduce him!"

"...Indeed, it's not necessary! It's just that I didn't expect it to happen." Chu Zhu frowned, a question creeping into his mind: why didn't my good brother record this...?

Oh, right, Chu Zhu suddenly realized. His good brother was in the future Star Sea, and the path he was taking was quite different from his current one.

Of course, Chu Zhu also suspected that... even if his good brother had seen it, it would be normal for him to deliberately hide it—after all, good brothers like to play tricks on him in these harmless situations!
"I'm just a retired old man now! It just so happens that I've settled down in this area of ​​Jiangnan, so I just come out for a stroll... You can call me the same as Old Qian! Call me Warm Old Man, or Grandpa Warm Man if you like!" The old gentleman waved his hand, his demeanor gentle and refined.

"I just didn't expect that I would be like this right from the start!" Chu Zhu took a deep breath and relaxed again. After all, he had experienced so much in the dream world and seen far too many big shots... He was just a little surprised, but as for being reserved or anything like that, he really wasn't!

"I wouldn't say that!" Mr. Nuan was wearing a thick Zhongshan suit and glasses, but his eyes didn't look cloudy. "I've actually been following you for quite a while... After all, my kids listen to your songs non-stop!"

"However, I learned a lot later... um!"

Mr. Nuan paused briefly, then glanced at Mr. Qian and Principal Li: "I'll presume to call you Xiao Chu, classmate."

"Mr. Nuan, please make yourself at home!" Chu Zhu shrugged.

Mr. Nuan paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Alright, alright! Let's call each other that then... Little Chu, would you be interested in taking a short stroll with this retired old man?"

"Please!" Chu Zhu gestured invitingly, watching them leave.

The office fell silent for a long time.

Mr. Qian frowned and paced back and forth in place.

"...Can't you just be quiet for a second?" Principal Li took a sip of tea, but couldn't suppress his anger. He immediately glared fiercely at Old Qian. This was the very person he had called earlier, hoping to get some help from Chu Zhu.

However, Principal Li never expected that... his first meeting with Chu Zhu would be under such circumstances.

"How can I stay quiet like this!" Unlike usual, Old Qian didn't argue with his close friend. He just gave a wry smile and said, "In a sense, this can be considered... a significant turning point for the future!"

"I just don't know what it is..."

Mr. Qian did not continue speaking.

Li Quanyuan fell silent. He took another sip of tea, closed his eyes for a moment, and then said slowly and deliberately, "I still believe in that child! He's a good child."

"Oh... I hope so!" Old Qian glanced at Principal Li, then sighed again, "But then again, even if he really is a good kid... we don't know what situation he's facing! Maybe he has no choice in the matter..."

"In history, some good people may have made what they thought was the most correct decision at the time... but in the end, it turned out to be wrong for posterity! That's the paradox of history... not to mention, can we be sure that the decision we made to communicate with him was correct?"

Principal Li didn't say anything more, his eyes filled with a faint worry.

……

The principal's office is located in the garden behind the office building.

"Today's a day off! The checks were a bit stricter... not many people are working overtime, and of course, not many students are taking extra classes." Mr. Nuan chuckled, implying, "So there's no need to be too reserved!"

Chu Zhu understood that the other side was indicating that there was no need to worry too much about information leaks when discussing information now.

Seeing that Chu Zhu remained silent... Mr. Nuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

"?"

"I've reviewed your file!" Mr. Nuan said slowly and deliberately. "You are a very typical example of a good kid educated in China. You have the passion of youth! You will be angry and criticize social injustices!"

Mr. Nuan recalled the intelligence he had obtained from the think tank analysis. To be honest, the final conclusions drawn were hard for Mr. Nuan, and even for the group of people he represented, to believe.

However unbelievable it may seem, the conclusion drawn from data, psychology, and various intelligence analyses... is exactly what it is!
Moreover, considering the strange commotion in that country across the ocean... well, it could be said that a significant reason for his personal intervention was the intense reaction from that country.

"Could it be... something similar to the Western societies, an organization inherited from ancient China... No, according to the think tank's assessment, the probability is the lowest! After all, we've already thoroughly cleaned them up in the past... If it really is, due to past historical reasons, the probability of them cooperating with us is also the lowest! And based on what they've shown in the past... they shouldn't have this level of power!"

"Or it could be the third type: contact with an extraterrestrial civilization! Some benevolent extraterrestrial civilization has provided extraordinary technology... but the probability of that is also quite low! Because it's inexplicable why this extraterrestrial civilization would choose an ordinary teenager—if they were to cooperate, it would be more reasonable to find a country or even a power! Moreover, why would aliens, with so much free time, deliberately feed this child a large amount of knowledge, allowing him to write such a book?"

"And the most likely scenario..."
