Luke smiled and nodded, putting a large bag of snacks in his hand into her car: "I understand. If you are really that worried, just assign me some simple cases."
Elsa actually nodded slightly, as if she was seriously considering this: "That's right, I'll go back and see if there is a suitable case to get you out of this for a while."
Luke was speechless for a moment, then said, "No need to rush. The higher-ups have spoken. I have to go around for a few days just to go through the motions, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the director."
Elsa thought about it and finally nodded and got in the car: "Okay, tomorrow morning... I'll go to work later."
Luke waved goodbye and watched her leave.
He didn't go into the house until the car disappeared around the corner of the street, shaking his head.
This incident was bound to cause a big stir. Given Elsa's strong character, she repeatedly warned him not to get involved.
He will not take further action until he is sure of the situation and has considered the pros and cons.
After seeing Elsa off and instructing Selina to complete the training plan, he drove out.
He also has to meet Miss Ginny tonight to discuss the new business of the Cosmic Cube Company.
Elsa's unexpected arrival delayed him a little, but he had an appointment with Ginny after dinner, so he still made it in time.
When he met Ginny, he told her about entertaining Chris and asked her to finalize the specific details of the mining cooperation with Chris.
The most Luke could do is find a lawyer to study the contract before signing it, and then use a small program to analyze it again, and that would be the end of the matter.
Ginny also mentioned the navigation map issue, saying that she had been in contact with several companies that made search engines and navigation maps, but the progress was slow.
Luke didn't care. If he couldn't sell it, he would make it into his own mobile phone software. He had already made a web version.
In order to circumvent the Keyhole Company's patented technology, he also created a simple and practical mapping technology and registered a patent.
Anyway, with Tony's skills, this is just a matter of working overtime for a few hours every day, and Luke just happens to have a few more hours than others every night.
In addition, he had mentioned before that he was making a mobile phone, and Ginny went to ask about it. There were many companies interested, but the prices they offered were outrageous, and many wanted to buy out Luke's patents for hundreds of thousands.
Luke chuckled: "Did you buy the company I asked you to acquire?"
Ginny: "I bought it. However, the company's technology is several years outdated, and all the valuable things have been sold to pay off debts. It's almost just a shell."
Luke shrugged. "But it's cheap, and it has patents for mobile phone technology."
Ginny: "That's because the chairman of the company died of illness. None of his children wanted to take over the poorly managed mobile phone company, so they are desperately trying to sell off its assets."
Luke: "It's not necessary to spend money, just buy this case to save trouble. After a while, I will make the phone, and you can change your career and become the president of that company... and sell phones."
Ginny: "... Could you please stop talking about selling cell phones as if they were a sale of outdated clothing at the entrance of a shopping mall?"
Luke: "Well, we're going to start a new era of mobile phones and draw a circle for the new world. How about that?"
Ginny: "Well, this sounds much more grand."
Luke: “Hehe.”
After talking about these little things, he finally had the time to talk to Secretary Ginny about the main business of the night.
It is very important that the chairman and the secretary must communicate closely and frequently and maintain a high degree of ideological consistency so as not to affect the company's development strategy.
At half past ten the next day, Luke, who had just driven to the doorstep of his home, called Selina to ask her to go out.
Selina was not surprised to see that she was eating the dessert that Luke had packed from a dessert shop, and asked, "What are we going to do today?"
She also heard what Elsa said yesterday, and it seemed a little early for the two of them to go to work at this time.
Luke drove, turned the steering wheel, and headed towards the west coast.
"Let's go visit Mr. Dylan Esworth first." He said.
Selina stopped eating the cake and looked at him in surprise: "But didn't Elsa say..."
Luke smiled and nodded: "It's just a formality. If we don't visit this person openly, how will those big shots who are waiting for our actions know that we are just going through the motions?"
Selina said, "Then where should we go to find this young master?"
Luke: "The eldest master's carnival palace."
They got on Highway 1 in Santa Monica and headed west.
Selina was suspicious: "This young master... doesn't live in Malibu Beach, does he?"
Luke laughed hard, "How is that possible? He is not his grandparents, and he is not old enough to learn to enjoy the natural scenery."
After driving for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at a beach villa.
But before the two reached the door, Luke drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. He checked the surveillance camera in the car for a moment and checked some more information.
He rolled his eyes, pushed the door and got out of the car: "Let's go, the young master is on the beach."
Selena got out of the car and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, the waves and the beach, the bikinis and shorts in the distance. She exclaimed in amazement: "The life of the rich. It's only morning now, right?"
Luke laughed and said, "Why are you afraid? We'll just have lunch on the beach next door, right?"
Selina nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good idea, dear. You should come up with such groundbreaking proposals more often in the future."
"As you wish." Luke smiled.
When he got close to the beach, he noticed that there was no sign saying "Private Beach No Entry": "This beach should not belong to the young master's villa. You can keep an eye out for the lunch location."
At a glance on the beach, there were more than thirty men and women playing around.
Among them, young and beautiful women account for the majority, while men only account for a quarter, and each man is accompanied by at least two women.
Selina lowered her voice and said, "Is this what I think it is?"
"Money is the root of all evil." Luke nodded slightly.
The two have been working on cases for so long that they have long understood the reality: everything that happens for money is justified.
In Los Angeles, the City of Angels, girls who dream of becoming famous overnight flock here every day to indulge in the life of debauchery and extravagance.
The successful ones among them will become role models and goals for those who come after them, while the unsuccessful ones will be like raindrops falling from the sky.
Some enter the sewer and become filthy and dirty.
Some returned to the Haihe River to find themselves again.
Others are processed and packaged into commodities to be sold at a price.
Apparently, the girl on the beach has wandered between the sewers and processed goods.
Unfortunately, the girls who hang around in this big city have a much higher chance of ending up in the sewers than becoming stars and successful people.
