Chapter 683 - 208: Questions and Answers_3
After the injection, Admiral Bai felt a surge of energy ready to breach the barriers, but after a while, it subsided again.It seems more time is needed to settle.
Their conversation was like a series of gaps, stopping just before going too deep.
Smart people know that further discussion won’t yield results and it’s better to wait for a while to revisit it.
"I heard you’re joining a Military Training laboratory," Admiral Bai asked, "Why don’t you form your own team to do this project? That’s what I was told to ask."
"They prefer me to lead the project?" Su Xiaocai doubted the higher-ups’ willingness, as building a new team would require huge investments.
"They think forming your own team would be much more efficient."
"Tch." Not a single word she liked, "I have no time. Mecha, mechanical limbs, games, and New World are all derived from years of my hard work. Forming this project, where would I find people, find a location? Don’t even mention it."
Admiral Bai felt somewhat wronged; he didn’t understand this, "Will you have time when you join the lab?"
"Because I understand the technology, and with me joining, when you don’t understand the technology, I can make up for it." Make up for what? Funding.
One word to the point.
The lab team is also smart, looking for a backdoor.
They have invested a lot, and the development time is not short either. The funding is given initially, and more when there is progress, then even more when there is hope.
Their research is stuck at the most difficult part.
The sunk cost is too high.
It’s hard to move forward, and they can’t retreat either, stuck in an impasse. Bringing her into the loop is naturally the best choice, ensuring that the patents remain with the project team and not in the hands of other capital.
Admiral Bai stopped asking, and as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw a mecha model, remembering something, "Have you developed the detachable star-destroying weapon?"
Seeing Su Xiaocai’s speechless look, Admiral Bai realized he asked a stupid question again, "If only your brain were a bit smarter."
"If your imagination were a bit richer, that would work too." Daydreaming, weapon development needs to be very cautious, and Su Xiaocai doesn’t want to end up blowing herself up.
"Oh, and that party, you’re not going, right?"
"Yeah, not going."
"Not going is right. Let me wish you happy holidays in advance." Admiral Bai outright stated that the party is nothing good.
He is on vacation and still in the military, which necessitates some face-saving, but Su Xiaocai has no such concerns.
"Can you leak a little gossip?" Su Xiaocai pursued further.
Besides the charitable parts that Su Xiaocai dislikes, such formal parties don’t surface the interest transactions, so even attending wouldn’t be a problem, right?
Admiral Bai: "Same old routine, boring."
One word sums up the nature of the party.
The party is filled with all sorts of performances, silent power matches, celebrities flaunting their glamour, businessmen making toasts and exchanges, while small people squeeze by in the crevices.
It’s not suitable for a deliberately slack monkey like Su Xiaocai.
Su Xiaocai: "I’ll be good."
"As for the painting, I’ll take care of it for you, and in the future, if anyone from the Lu Family comes looking for you, just avoid them. Admiral Lu is just like that, and his family, well, it’s hard to put into words."
Su Xiaocai propped her chin with both hands, "Doesn’t Admiral Lu care about the way the Lu Family acts?"
"Probably can’t control them. Admiral Lu only secured his position with the support of his current wife, but he insists on promoting his ex-wife’s son. So in this regard, he gives in a bit."
"Hmm?" Su Xiaocai didn’t understand the connection. Does the current wife have a good relationship with the Lu Family?
Isn’t the Lu Family doing things themselves? What’s it got to do with the current wife?
Admiral Bai naturally couldn’t reveal Admiral Lu’s affairs, so he just offered a hint, "If you’re not going, just don’t go out that day. Just hang around your own place."
Su Xiaocai once again stated she wouldn’t go and would stay home.
After Admiral Bai left, she immediately searched for Admiral Lu’s gossip, and even asked the investigative department for some intel without a care whether they’d report back to Admiral Lu.
Once uncovered, she realized that not only is the Admiral powerful, he also has a rich romantic history.
Tut-tut, war honors don’t equate to character.
This Lu Family head, if an admiral were to be taken down, would be the first in line.
Admiral Lu has had five wives, married at twenty-five. The first wife was introduced via arranged family matchmaking and died early due to genetic issues.
The second was also arranged by the family, and her dowry was relatively decent. At this time, Admiral Lu was just a young soldier with a few medals, but the couple didn’t get along well, so they divorced.
The third one he met himself, and they were together for quite a while, ten years, with a son. Ultimately, they couldn’t withstand the bizarre in-law and divorced again.
The fourth succumbed to boredom and had an affair. Real man Admiral Lu couldn’t wear such a green hat, so they divorced.
The fifth is the current one, a strong-willed woman who supported Admiral Lu’s rise to his current position, with her resources, mechas, all funded by her.
