Chapter 283 Is it worthy?

World Tree Technologies.

Aini knocked gently on the office door, and soon a calm voice came: "Come in."

That was the tone An Ming often used, calm yet serious. She couldn't help but become nervous in front of him... Annie took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

The layout of the office was a little too simple. There was only a table with its back to the floor-to-ceiling window and a virtual screen projected on it. An Ming leaned back in the soft leather chair and nodded gently to Annie.

"It's rare for you to come to me alone. What happened?"

"It has nothing to do with work, it's something else," Annie said without hesitation, "Boss An, you actually like Ms. Fireworks very much, so why do you want to maintain the current status instead of taking it a step further?"

She knew this was a bit presumptuous, but during the time since joining World Tree Technology, Annie could deeply feel the tenderness and kindness in everyone's hearts. Even though the Grim Reaper looked a little scary, he was actually a warm-hearted person.

When he was assassinated on his way to work before, it was Brother Death who smashed the assassin into a pulp with a hammer. He is really reliable.

Although Hanabi's words are always confusing, she is essentially just a little girl who lacks love, and is not at all the old thing that people imagine.

As for An Ming... Annie was very confused. She had an almost inexplicable trust in An Ming and she didn't even know where such trust came from. Sometimes she would wonder if she had been hypnotized to the maximum level of favorability, which was why she had such trust in An Ming.

An Ming and Hua Huo are a perfect couple. Annie doesn't want to see these two people fighting each other anymore. If you love each other, just get married!

Life is so short, if you like someone, you should love boldly, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"......" An Ming didn't expect Annie to ask such a question. After pouring her a cup of tea, he pressed the button on the side of the table. The illusory curtain that originally blocked the floor-to-ceiling window behind him disappeared in a flash, revealing the night scene of Tavi City behind him.

"It took us 112 years to get from Tavi Town to Tavi City. During this time, we used mental medicine to accumulate the initial capital, which led to the prototype of World Tree Technology today." An Ming pushed the teacup forward and said calmly: "Hanabi helped me a lot here. In the end, I am just a low-level liar."

"Excuse me, Mr. An, but you don't look like a liar."

Annie spoke the truth sincerely. At least An Ming had never lied to her.

An Ming shook his head, "If even I am not the real me, how can it be considered real?" He stood up and looked at the night under the Edo stars.

"In the next hundred years, I will use the company as the core to create a real new Tavi," An Ming said in a somewhat cold voice. "Before that, I need your help, Aini."

At this time, he was more like a cold dictator who would do anything to achieve a certain goal.

Whether it is people or objects, they will become the foundation for building the new Tavi and become part of Edo Star.

"What exactly do you want to do by collecting such a huge amount of spirits?" Annie felt her lips getting a little dry, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

She had thought that all the great successful people in history were crazy, and those people were always different from ordinary people, but she never thought that An Ming would be so crazy.

It would be better to say that what is keeping him calm and rational now is an almost instinctive desire, pushing the man in front of him to keep moving forward without resting for even a second.

"Have you ever thought about why this planet can attract so many people to explore it?" An Ming had a mysterious smile on his face. That is the real secret of Edo Planet.

"Isn't it Soul Cherry?" There was some doubt in Annie's eyes. After hundreds of years of mining, people's knowledge of Soul Cherry is no longer the unknown it was back then. This product that requires a lot of spiritual resonance to grow is no longer a secret.

But even if she knew, it wouldn't change anything. After all, Hanabi was the only one in the entire Edo planet who could achieve large-scale mental resonance.

Therefore, only World Tree Technology can make huge profits by using Soul Cherry.

"Edo Star has 'roots' that have not yet grown, and only a huge amount of mental power can awaken them," An Ming did not hide anything more from Annie. After all, she was also an indispensable part of the plan.

"So, you plan to sacrifice the spirits of ordinary people on the entire Edo planet to awaken the so-called root?"

Annie's tone was a little shocked. Although she had already guessed it, she still felt surprised when it was confirmed.

"Sacrifice? No... it's exploitation," An Ming said softly, "This is the only purpose of Tavi's existence, and the reason why 'they' can live in this city."

An Ming is not a philanthropist, nor is he a good person. His kindness is very limited...or it has been exhausted long ago.

Kindness may not be rewarded. An Ming has witnessed too many realities and no longer shows so-called kindness to strangers.

Hanabi is an exception, she gives back far more than Anming has given.

Hanabi always says harsh words, but she never leaves him and takes care of him. No matter how tired or hard it is, she will try her best not to miss any performance, just to get more soul cherry blossoms and help Anming earn more credit points.

"As long as we have that many credit points, we can buy a big house, stick together every day and never be apart!" At that time, Huahuo always looked at him with hopeful eyes, as bright as the sun.

"You want to ask why," An Ming said with a bitter smile, "How can I be worthy of Hua Huo now?"

"Snapped!"

Crisp applause rang out. Annie gasped violently and slapped An Ming, sending him back several steps. The Grim Reaper outside the door rushed in with a hammer almost instantly, but was interrupted by An Ming's gesture.

"You are such an idiot!"

Annie's eyes were filled with anger. "What's the question of whether it's worthy or not? It's just about love or not!"

"If you still love her, don't ignore her like this! Go kiss her!" Annie didn't understand and didn't want to understand. It was so strange. Why did she feel so sad in her heart?

Yeah, why?

"...Thanks."

An Ming silently stared at his own reflection in the window and suddenly felt a little strange. Who was that?

Annie bit her lower lip and said seriously, "Maybe one day you and I will become rivals, but not today... Don't let me down."

An Ming also figured out a lot of things. He took a deep breath, left the office, and walked towards the "home" he had not returned to for a long time.

The house is located in the bustling downtown area and is much larger than the original small house, but it lacks the people who make up the family.
