Walking on the business road so calmly and successfully, you can come into contact with the existence of the Seven Great Families. Who are the guests in the room who are not well-trained characters? Hearing the sound of Li Xiaotong coming from the courtyard, everyone looked back one after another, with many different expressions on their faces, some were shocked, some frowned, and some thought to themselves.
Underneath all the different expressions, there is a common regret - how many people dare to call the Seventh Young Master's name? Everyone understood that they had taken a look at the young officer in the courtyard earlier.
Li Xiaotong frowned slightly, walked out of the room, and came to the courtyard with bright sunshine and mottled shadows. He looked at the slightly fat middle-aged man beside Xu Le and tilted his head, thinking that he didn't seem to know this person.
One of his subordinates leaned into his ear and said a few words, and then he showed a realization-because he was worried that Xu Le would be difficult to adapt to the atmosphere of today's party, he asked his subordinates to randomly select two researchers who were looking for investment. Thinking that Xu Le is a talented engineer, naturally he has a common language with this kind of person - Li Qishao has great talent in money investment, but he did not expect that mechanical engineering is actually divided into many categories.
Seeing Xu Le standing next to the middle-aged man and flipping through a few pieces of paper, Li Xiaotong couldn't help but feel a little bit of interest. Could this middle-aged man successfully persuade him
"What's the matter?" Li Xiaotong came over.
"I think this project is very interesting and worth investing some money in." Xu Le looked at him and said, "Look at his materials first, but it's just a little messy."
"How dare you not believe your vision in this regard." Li Xiaotong said: "I can't understand it even if you show it to me. Since you say it's interesting, it's really interesting. How much do you need to vote?"
Xu Le smiled and turned to Cheng Fengshi and asked, "What's the research budget you do?"
Cheng Fengshi glanced at Li Xiaotong nervously, stretched out two fingers nervously and apologetically, and whispered, "In the early stage... two hundred million."
Li Xiaotong was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this investment would require so much from the beginning. Knowing that the fund he could fully use on his own initiative was less than one billion, he couldn't help but turn his consulting eyes to Xu Le.
Looking at Li Xiaotong's inquiring eyes, Cheng Fengshi's unreasonable confidence that he had just given birth to was completely lost. In the past few years, there have always been investors who could see the prospects of this project, but at the same time they could see that there was no way to start the business, and they refused indifferently. Is this the case today
Contrary to his expectations, after he reported the budget of 200 million with great difficulty, Xu Le lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "200 million is not enough, at least 300 million."
He learned a lot from Professor Shen at the Nutshell Research Institute. He also dabbled in materials science in the database index tree. Coupled with his experience in Gangdu Industrial Park last year, Xu Le has a lot of experience in a research and development project. Knowing the process and approximate budget, a project like this miniaturized turbo may seem inconspicuous, but to overcome those barriers in between, it is absolutely impossible to spend less money.
From 200 million to 300 million, Li Xiaotong, who was hesitant at first, did not hesitate any more. At least his face didn't show it at all. It was only 0.2 seconds before he smiled and said, "Okay."
This word is very simple, but the six guests who silently watched this scene from the stone steps of the courtyard have complex hearts. They watched calmly and calmly, and did not rush to do anything at this time, say anything, and do it secretly for later things. plan, such as how to make up for the previous neglect, how to smile at Yan Ran, and how to get to know each other without a trace.
Calling the Seventh Young Master's name directly, and a casual sentence can make the Seventh Young Master throw 300 million yuan... For them, 300 million yuan is really not much, let alone terrible, the scary thing is that the Seventh Young Master showed it through this matter. Attitude.
The three said something in a low voice. Cheng Fengshi looked excited and excited. As for the follow-up, whether to make directional investment in the Darcy Institute of Mechanical Engineering in the name of private funds, or to establish an independent R&D room, there are naturally professionals to discuss with him. .
"If there are any technical problems, I will introduce a person to you. I believe her practical experience in this area will also inspire you."
Xu Le thought for a while, wrote Shang Qiu's contact information on a piece of paper, and handed it over. Just as he was about to continue to say something, the mobile phone in the uniform vibrated.
When he took out the phone, his expression suddenly became a little weird. The fingers that pressed the call button were a little stiff, and when he heard the voice coming from the phone, he nodded again and again.
The quiet and beautiful courtyard was quiet.
Li Xiaotong frowned slightly. He knew very well that although Xu Le was a pure-hearted person, he was by no means docile. Someone on the other end of the phone could turn him into a nodding worm.
Seeing Xu Le walking out of the hospital with the phone in hand, the guests in the hospital were all guessing the identity of the officer. Occasionally, some people thought of a certain character that the federal military had deliberately cultivated recently, but because that person has never been close to the Li family. Wind, so I never dare to confirm.
Only Cheng Fengshi's attention was focused on that piece of paper, and he didn't notice Xu Le's departure at all. He stared blankly at the words Shang Qiu and the very specific personal contact information on it, some couldn't believe himself eyes - Shang Qiu? The first-level technical director of the Nutshell Engineering Department, the genius who designed the MX mecha? Is that officer the other person? As soon as he thought of this, he was more shocked than he was, but he was already awe-inspiring.
The air in the courtyard was filled with an undercurrent of speculation and shock. The Seventh Young Master of the Li Family smiled slightly, his gloomy aura lightened slightly, looked at the guests and said, "Don't wonder why I value his opinion so much, the standard of MX mecha He can be sure that there are probably not many people in the Federation who don't believe his vision."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Wei, they are good friends." Li Xiaotong added lightly at the end.
His words confirmed Cheng Fengshi's shock and the speculation that everyone couldn't believe. Li Wei, who had been standing silently outside the circle, glanced at Li Xiaotong with an embarrassed smile, knowing that the other party was helping him, but until this time, he hadn't adapted to Xu Le, and he had become something that could be borrowed. where the power lies.
outside the courtyard.
"Some things always need to be done more professionally. You are a person who keeps your promises. To implement your promises, you need to be careful and persistent." On the other end of the phone came the indifferent voice of Federal Defense Minister Zou Yingxing. There is no deliberate so-called power in it, and he just talks soothingly like a scholar.
Xu Le bowed his head and thought that although his relationship with the Zou family had become extremely close, it was rare to receive a call from Minister Zou. What Minister Zou said on the phone was indifferent and obscure, but he understood that the so-called concentration and prudence meant... everything related to taking the blame.
Because of a certain tacit understanding established in the rain at the Galaxy Cemetery, the boss of Xishan Courtyard has taken a lot of blame for Xu Le in private. In the scene at the Peace Reconstruction Charity Reception in the Four Prefectures Around the Mountains, although the former couple met on the terrace, since Xu Le already had a black cauldron on his back, his appearance like that always made the defense minister's family lose a lot of face. , after all, he is nominally Zou Liuhuo's father...
At this time, the sun is moving westward, but it is far from dusk. Zou Yingxing's phone call is not about asking for guilt, but it is a very serious reminder to Xu Le. In this case, he can only nod his head. .
After the phone call, Xu Le let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the previous shout in the courtyard, and suddenly fell silent in the woods. The subconscious shout was to help Li Xiaotong pull up the banner, but why was he a little intoxicated with the feeling of being a big man with the Li family behind his back? It's the same at the reception, and it's the same at Wood Valley today, and this seems to be a very bad tendency...
In the silence, in the autumn forest burning in the sun, a girl appeared silently. The girl had thick black hair and curled up the ends of her hair that were past her ears, lining it. With those quiet and gentle eyes, very beautiful.
Xu Le was slightly startled and bowed his head to greet the other party. The children of the Seven Great Families, who had always been mysterious, seemed to appear in front of him so easily. On second thought, the Nanxiang family had a close relationship with the Lin family, and Mugu Manor itself was a place for these families to communicate, so I felt relieved.
Nan Xiangmei looked at Xu Le with a gentle smile, hiding the surprise and shyness in her eyes, walked up to him, and said quietly, "Hello, should I call you Xu Gong, or Lieutenant Colonel Xu?"
Xu Le replied with a smile, "Just call Xu Le."
He met by chance on the high-speed train to the capital, and talked for a few words at a cocktail party. He was still unfamiliar with this beautiful girl, but he had a very mellow feeling in his heart, even in his dreams. A glimmer of beauty wafts through...
Xu Le was about to ask her if she came with Lin Douhai when suddenly there was a hurried voice from the queen of Lin, which seemed to be a middle-aged woman. Xu Le was slightly startled, and Nan Xiangmei said apologetically, "The mother at home is shouting, maybe the elders are bored playing cards and want to take me to talk with you."
The daughter of the Seven Great Families said this to an unfamiliar person of the opposite sex, which seemed a little too cordial. Xu Le was slightly startled and said, "That won't bother you."
When Nan Xiangmei was about to leave, she suddenly clenched her hands beside her dark blue overalls, lowered her head and asked with a trembling voice, "I heard that the military is sending more troops to Xilin, do you want to go too?"
"Maybe, but I'm still not sure what it means to see the ministry." Xu Le did not explain in detail, because there were some accidents, why this young lady would care about her own affairs.
There was a trace of panic and a trace of complicated emotions in Nan Xiangmei's quiet eyes, and suddenly she lowered her voice and said, "Xilin is very dangerous, you have to... take care."
"Thank you." Xu Le was still puzzled, but also felt a warmth in his heart, and answered seriously.
Nan Xiangmei took a deep breath, raised her head suddenly, looked at him bravely, smiled as calmly as possible, and said, "Maybe you think it's absurd, but I have to tell you something."
"what?"
"I like you."
After saying these words neatly, Nam Sang-mi with blushing cheeks lowered her head like a frightened deer and ran away, leaving Xu Leyu in the woods so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
More than absurd, more than absurd, it was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. Although Xu Le never really killed Xu Le, he was shocked and speechless. His ability to think logically made him firmly refuse to believe that those four words were spoken to him.
He has experienced many thrilling events in his life, great joy and great sorrow, great sorrow and great joy mixed with vicissitudes, those things are more terrifying and shocking than what he heard today in the woods and autumn forests, but it is extremely difficult to be like today. It moved him, because he didn't understand why this quiet and beautiful daughter of a noble family...why would he use such simple but extremely lethal words to hack himself for no reason and no brains.
I like you
It’s like going to the distribution station to buy protein meat, but the official outside the Charter Bureau tells you that the supply of bison beef is out today. The computer suddenly turns into a beauty without an inch of hair, dancing an S3-style twerk in front of you...
For Xu Le, who often chats with old things, now even if the latter thing does happen, he may have enough psychological capacity, but Nam Sang-mi's sudden confession made him extremely easily out of focus and tender, confused. The shocked hair stood up, and the general's hat was about to go up.
He didn't know that Nam Sang-mi, who broke away from the marriage contract after leaving Hong Kong, started the girl's initial sprouting... So innocent, and thus a little unreasonable affection, tied to the ordinary engineer who occasionally met in the carriage and unexpectedly reunited in Hong Kong. on the body.
He didn't know that Nam Sang-mi had been quietly inquiring about him for more than a year, silently and nervously following him from a nutshell engineer to a guy who shocked many people in the Federation...
The beautiful lady from the family even got his contact information through Li Xiaotong, but she didn't have the courage to contact him, but taking advantage of the opportunity to know Li Xiaotong's invitation, she encouraged her family to come to Mugu Manor to celebrate the autumn festival.
I have stopped in the forest for a long time, just for a chance encounter.
However, even if he knew this, Xu Le would still transform into an ice sculpture, staring stiffly at the back of the girl who disappeared in the forest, unable to say a word.
love at first sight? He admits that he does not have the peerless appearance of young and young like Shi Gongzi and Li Xiuzhu, he does not have Zhou Yu's warm and jade-like temperament, and he doesn't even have the maiden and quiet strange temperament of Bai Yulan. What is he like? An ordinary person, how could He Dehe make a girl like him, and that girl is... the miss of Nan Xiang's family!
who I am? I'm Xu Le. I'm not good-looking. The interesting part of my personality has long been hidden by the boring stone appearance. I have looked up at the starless starry sky and the TV in the tavern since I was a child. I don't know how many light-years away, and then I liked a girl with black-rimmed glasses, but the ending was not beautiful.
In the matter of men and women, this Donglin stone will only look up, be silent, give, sacrifice, be abandoned, and it is difficult to go along. That is: there is no sense in the universe at all.
