The Nutshell Engineering Department was under the secret influence of the Tai family. The successful development of the MX mecha named Xiaobaihua was originally the product of the "cooperation" between the Tai family and Xu Le. Mrs. Tai never doubted the performance of the MX of the Nutshell Engineering Department, because she was the only person in the federation who knew Xu Le's true origin, and she had great confidence in that person.
The Federal Academy of Sciences recruited Li Feng, and Mrs. Tai began to worry a little, but when she learned from secret channels that Xu Le personally controlled the mecha, this worry was lessened. After all, she has lived with that person for so many years. , Xu Le's final victory, in this lady's opinion, is a matter of course.
Everything, or because of the unspeakable absolute trust in the strength of the old man back then
White bubbles like pearls appear evenly in the ginkgo porridge, the color of the porridge is slightly blue, the appetite is wide open, and the heat is just right. Mrs. Tai filled two bowls, took one for herself, and started tasting it in the large, gallery-like kitchen.
She also knew about the bet between Xu Le and Madman Li in the final assembly base. While playing with the porridge, Mrs. Tai thought, if it was based on the person's seniority, Li Feng's little overlord called Xu Le uncle, it was really true It should be.
"Madam, Young Master Lin Douhai called just now. He happened to be in the capital recently and wanted to visit you on behalf of his family."
Butler Jin said respectfully at the door, most people in the federation want to contact the wife of the head of the Tai family, they usually have to go through the secretary of Shen Da.
"I'm in a bad mood recently, and I don't want to see guests." Mrs. Tai gently blew the hot porridge in the bowl and said with a smile, "If those old guys from the Lin family will be able to figure out when they're the only one in the Lin Banshan family. Guys are worth relying on, and I'd really like to meet Lin Banshan."
Butler Jin understood the meaning of his wife's words, and naturally knew how to reply on the phone later.
Mrs. Tai has been in a really bad mood these two days. Regarding the presidential campaign and the new mecha standards, her mood should not be too fluctuating. In the past ten years, she has maintained a good personal friendship with every president. , this alone is enough to make her qualified to take everything in the Federation lightly.
What made her feel a little unpleasant was the plagiarism accusation made by the Nutshell Engineering Department against the Federal Academy of Sciences in the ground command hall.
The plagiarism scandal made many people in the government and the management committee feel dissatisfied, thinking that the federation could not explain to the people. These people all believed that there was Mrs. Tai's shadow behind the incident, and finally these emotions were projected on the Tai family.
Mrs. Tai didn't care about the complaints of those politicians, because no one dared to complain in person, but Xu Le and Shang Qiu did this without reporting to Jose, making the whole thing too passive. No matter how good this matter is for the Tai family's interests, the first thing she thought about was that the young man didn't respect herself enough.
Although Lin Yuanhu has always been independent from the Lin family, but after all, it is the Lin family who has few big people who can stand in the front desk over the years, so it was destroyed in Xu Le's hands. Before Lin Douhai wanted to visit her, it was naturally the Lin family who was careful. Attitude test.
"Madam, what are your orders?" Secretary Shen walked in from the door and was slightly startled when he saw his wife and housekeeper Jin who were eating porridge in the kitchen. After entering this manor for some time, he probably understood that he was still a long way from being able to eat the porridge cooked by his wife.
"Call Brin."
Mrs. Tai wiped her hands on the apron, and ordered casually. The plagiarism incident of the Academy of Sciences is not a scandal that the upper class of the federal society is willing to see, but it is wonderful that President Seagal himself has never meant to suppress it. She was very curious about this, so she asked Shen Li to contact the deputy director of the President's Residence Office.
"Yes." Secretary Shen continued: "Six days later, the election debate will be broadcast live on TV. I have made some arrangements for the news channel."
Mrs. Tai waved her hand, stopped him from reporting, and said, "I don't worry about your work."
Since that little guy Xu Le has arrogantly and insidiously overturned Lin Yuanhu to the ground, Mrs. Tai can only take advantage of the situation to seek greater benefits. Congressman Pabble's campaign office has remained silent on the incident, but the media power that the Tai family can influence has been highlighted.
Mrs. Tai couldn't help frowning when she thought of Senator Pable's strong voice and very direct refusal on the phone today. She never expected to be able to control a Mr. President, but she always felt that Congressman Pabble seemed too independent.
However, Mrs. Tai will give enough respect to Pabble who is going to be the president in the future, but like Xu Le, she will not treat it that way.
"What an unruly guy." Mrs. Tai said in her heart.
The most important thing in the federation is the rules. Xu Le is too unruly in this matter. Mrs. Tai thought silently, playing with the green porridge, and decided to give this young man another chance for the time being, and there will be no next time. .
Confidentiality, silence, no one cared about, and the invisible pressure in the air from all sides, the battle at the top of Kaqi Peak did not bring any substantial benefits to Xu Le. He didn't know that Mrs. Tai did this to protect his safety on the one hand, and to warn him on the other hand, because he didn't think about these two aspects at all.
Will fighting with a realistic system reveal my fugitive identity? At the moment when his brain was flooded with emotions, Xu Le would not think about it at all. As for the warning... He had already obtained what he wanted most from the battle for the mecha standard - a moral and spiritual victory, and that was enough. What's more, there are friends.
Loneliness is a disease, Xu Le has always believed that, but he is often plagued by this kind of pain. For some reason, the best relatives and friends have disappeared into the vast universe, a crowd of people more generous than the universe.
Therefore, when he received a call from Shang Qiu at the gate of Xishan compound, he agreed without any hesitation. This female engineer with both a genius mind and a plump chest has become one of his most trusted partners after these days.
The unmarked black car arrived at the bar at Nanshikou of the Capital Territory at ten o'clock at night. Capital University is located around Nanshikou. It is a rare social university that does not need to be established in Linhai Prefecture. The streets around the bar are full of beautiful girls in short trench coats.
The decoration of the bar is extremely high-end, and Xu Le can't understand it, but he probably understands that it is at least much more advanced than those nightclubs in Donglin. The soft dance music is mixed with obscure rhythms. Although there are many people in the bar, it is not crowded due to the large area. The young men and women gently shake their bodies following the dance music, and the dazzling geometric light sweeps across the bar. The entire scene, occasionally mixed with images, turned into a three-dimensional star pattern full of space, imprinted on those youthful and turbulent bodies.
"Cheers!" Several round cups filled with spirits were lifted up and bumped gently, unable to suppress the happy shouts of everyone.
In addition to Shang Qiu, several members of the technical team who stayed in the capital also attended the meeting. These engineers who seemed to be silent on weekdays, because of the complete success of the development of the MX mecha, are more demanding than usual. It seemed to be a lot more relaxed, but within half an hour, several bottles of fine wine had been eaten, and the articulation began to become unclear.
When he was in the Gangdu Industrial Park, Xu Le and his colleagues in the engineering department only communicated through the internal network, but after a series of meetings, they quickly became familiar with each other, and everyone was comfortable sitting together, just listening to those engineers. Xu Le couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he praised his words.
The engineers took advantage of the wine and walked towards the dance floor, ready to get close to the girls who were writhing their youthful bodies. Xu Le looked at them with a glass of wine, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "I remember a few people seem to be married."
"It's the same as getting married without a knot. After the experiment failed last year, everyone basically lived in the engineering department and rarely had time to go home." Shang Qiu replied lazily on the densely woven sofa.
Maybe it was because of drinking some wine, Shang Qiu didn't wear those square glasses, with her legs under her body and her body leaning on the sofa, the plumpness on her chest was more conspicuous. She was wearing a very casual shirt today, with a small light blue tube top inside the shirt, and the snow-white skin peeked out from the opening of the shirt, which was so dazzling in the dim bar.
Xu Le turned his head and saw the moving scenery in front of Shang Qiu's chest. He was stunned for a while. He remembered the moment when he opened the video head for the first time in the basement of the engineering department, and then thought of Lan Xiaolong and Zhou Yu standing behind him. , with a stunned expression.
"This is too big." He sighed in his heart.
Under the influence of Uncle Feng Yu, Xu Le is definitely not a decent gentleman who does not look sideways, but after all, he has never experienced too much tempering between men and women. eye.
He called Magnolia, and after confirming that the Charter Bureau was not embarrassing him, he felt much more relaxed, and after asking Shang Qiu, he informed him to come to this bar for a drink.
"Of course I don't have any opinion." Shang Qiu said, "Your secretary Bai has actually done a lot for MX. You and I both know it."
After a pause, she suddenly raised the wine glass in her hand seriously and said, "Xu Le, thank you."
"What's there to thank?" Xu Le spoke the truth, touched her lightly, and said, "I just want to get back what belongs to me. Speaking of which, I really want to take care of Elder Shen. Professor and myself, thank you for what you said in the command hall."
The two sat next to each other, Xu Le looked at Shang Qiu's black and scattered hair, only to realize that she looked more beautiful and softer than usual without glasses, but he always felt that his eyes were falling a little. Embarrassed, I tapped my finger in the air.
Shang Qiu looked down along his fingers and laughed. In fact, she usually pays attention to what she wears. If it weren't for a relaxed occasion like a bar, and it was a semi-closed private booth space, she would never unbutton the shirt outside to breathe, but she didn't expect that Xu Le would behave like this. disturbed.
"You're not still a virgin, are you?" Shang Qiu asked, instead of re-buttoning his shirt, blinking his eyes with great interest.
The lights were blurry, and there was a lingering fragrance in the cup. Xu Le felt that his face was a little hot, he picked up the wine glass, and did not answer.
In the quiet bar, there were occasional small disturbances, but they soon subsided.
"Why did you choose this bar? It's all young people playing. Under the influence of alcohol, it's easy to have problems."
Xu Le looked at the small stage in the depths of the bar. On the stage, there was a girl in a light blue tights, who was singing and dancing, exuding a faint and blurry smell. The bar is decorated to a very good standard, the modern design is very charming, but it always looks like a place for young people to stay.
"Aren't you a young man?" Shang Qiu looked at him curiously, not understanding how he could hear such old-fashioned words from his mouth.
Xu Le was slightly startled, only to realize that he probably had a problem with his mentality, and smiled to cover up the past.
It didn't take long before Magnolia walked into the bar and found everyone's booth.
When the two met, they didn't say much, took a glass of wine and drank it first. With black hair draped between Bai Yulan's eyebrows, he lowered his head habitually, filled Xu Le's glass with wine, then raised his head, thinking about the scene he saw at the Old Moon Base that day, and said softly: "Boss, I've been thinking about it for the past two days. It seems that you gave me 20 million yuan at a loss. Would you like to refund some money to you?"
Xu Le didn't want to buy a horse with a lot of money when he gave Magnolia the bank card, because he never thought about organizing any anti-government organization in the social environment of the Federation, he just needed a reliable and reliable helper by his side. In the original plan, Magnolia, as the pilot who is most familiar with MX in the Federation, can help him develop smoothly and participate in mecha battles. However, the mecha played against Xu Le in person. In daily work and life, it seems that there are not many places where Magnolia can be used, which is why Magnolia has such a speech.
"What's wrong?" Xu Le didn't think of this, and asked in surprise.
In the bar, there was a gentle rhythm, but the sound was not low, which covered the conversation between the two. Magnolia chuckled and said, "Apart from making a bed and being poured tea to kill someone, I seem to be by your side, boss, and I don't have much effect."
Shang Qiu was so drunk that he didn't notice what they were saying at all, he buttoned his shirt indiscriminately, and walked out of the booth, ready to go to the bathroom.
Xu Le glanced at her and couldn't help laughing. The buttons on Shang Qiubai's shirt were wrong, which made her chest extravagant. Only then did she understand that a woman with a wonderful figure, no matter how she wore it, would cause a the attention of others.
Sometimes being noticed is not a good thing. Shang Qiu swayed as he walked by, all the drinkers noticed this woman with a peculiar temperament and attractive breasts. Fortunately, the water in the Capital District was too muddy and deep. The bar next to Capital University was also a famous place specially chosen by Shang Qiu. Although it attracted countless scorching gazes, no one would come forward to chat up.
After working together for so long, Xu Le knew that Shang Qiu had a very difficult temperament, and with so many companions in the bar, he was not worried about her safety, but worried about whether she would walk to the bathroom door and get drunk. on the ground. He glanced over there worriedly, and after talking to Magnolia, he followed.
