Chapter 212: The joke at the party

Su Xiaocai guessed correctly, Mother Ji did go to Old Man Su for help.

Ji Li has always had a grudge against Ji's mother. Ji's mother dare not seek medical help from all directions and can only inquire about Ji Li's affairs indirectly through Old Man Su.

She just wanted to ask if Ji Li's genetic disease could really be completely cured by taking medicine.

As Su Xiaocai's good friend, his son will definitely receive some care.

Ji Heng hinted that Ji's mother Ji Li had received secret treatment and her condition had improved, but no further details were available.

Ji's mother also thought that Ji Li was actively dealing with his illness and was not giving up on himself.

After knowing that Su Xiaocai had such a medicine, I understood what the secret treatment was, so I came to ask in a hurry.

When Su Xiaocai heard what Old Man Su conveyed, she felt that Ji Li was indeed a tough guy and even her own mother was afraid of him.

"Ji Li is fine, he just may need to take medicine for a while. Take good care of my bamboo forest, I rely on it to produce medicine."

Father Su laughed heartily, "Good boy, you have done well not only on the battlefield, but also in agriculture. I will take care of your affairs for you, just don't cause trouble everywhere."

Su Xiaocai rubbed her nose. This was very difficult. It depended on what the enemy was thinking. If the enemy was determined to make things difficult for her, she couldn’t just not fight back.

Knowing that she was good at causing trouble, Su Xiaocai could only say to Old Man Su: "Okay, okay." I'll try my best.

When Old Man Su saw that Su Xiaocai hung up the phone first, he was angry and amused. Is it so difficult not to cause trouble?

But after getting the news that Mother Ji wanted, Father Su quickly told her, "Your son is almost well, don't worry."

"Really?" Ji's mother covered her mouth and cried, her voice hoarse, she couldn't believe it, "You didn't lie to me?"

Old Man Su: “…” He has no reason to lie. Even if he wanted to lie, he couldn’t make up a story on the spur of the moment.

Father Ji half hugged his wife and said speechlessly: "Brother Su is obviously not the kind of person who would lie."

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited." Mother Ji wiped her tears. Ji Li was her first child, so she naturally loved him very much.

She had been looking for a treatment method for so long but none of them worked. Ji Li didn't want to go to the Inhuman Research Institute, which made her very worried.

Later, she found a few more methods and wanted Ji Li to try them, even going so far as to turn against Ji Li, but still failed to fulfill Ji Li's wish of having a healthy body.

Now, the wish has come true.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, and thank you for your daughter's care for my son. I don't know how to repay you." Giving money is not appropriate either.

Changing the subject, Ji's mother asked, "Does your daughter have a fiancé? What do you think of my eldest son?"

Mother Ji, who is keen on finding a fiancée for her son, has another bad idea. It's time for Ji Li to find a wife.

Su Xiaocai is a very suitable person. Last time Ji Li brought her home, Ji's mother didn't have time to observe her more.

But at least they have met the parents. Isn't it perfect for a handsome man and a beautiful woman to be together?

In Ji's mother's heart, Ji Li has always been weak and pitiful.

Su Xiaocai is strong and can protect Ji Li very well. She is also cute and likable, so her son should like her too.

Decide on it early to avoid the good cabbage being taken away by other pigs.

Ji's father was shocked. How could such a matter be brought up in front of someone else's father? What if Old Man Su asked about it and Ji Li couldn't marry Su Xiaocai?

It was difficult for the stupid mother Ji to remain calm and elegant when talking about her son's marriage. She always felt that if she didn't intervene, her eldest son would be single for the rest of his life.

Father Su smiled stiffly, "I don't ask about the children's affairs, just let them do whatever they want."

"Yes, yes! Don't interfere anymore, otherwise you will end up like Ji Heng, where the engagement fails and you end up becoming enemies." Ji's father persuaded Ji's mother, who looked disappointed and said, "Alas, I was too hasty." She really wanted to have her grandchildren and liked cute chubby babies very much.

Father Ji wiped the cold water off his forehead.

If he really interferes with Ji Li's personal feelings and finds a fiancée, he will definitely bankrupt the company.

Forget it, I'd better go back early and find a way to set up an office space on a nearby planet. It's more convenient to do business in the new world now, and it also eliminates some messy drinking culture.

Ji's father chose to come back to manage the company, and Ji Li was in a good mood.

It is very annoying to deal with company affairs every day. His research is entering a critical period. If he spends more time on research, he should be able to get the desired results within a few weeks.

But he has to manage the company's affairs, which will distract a lot of his attention and energy.

It couldn't be better that Father Ji came back on his own initiative. Li Ji would never agree to Father Ji managing his company again because the people under him had too many ulterior motives.

Just like now, when it's time to get off work, two people block my way, asking me all kinds of questions and trying to flatter me.

Ji Li frowned, "You can't even do your job? Instead of saying nice things in front of me, you might as well do your job well."

At this moment, another beautiful and capable woman passed by and said with red lips: "It's time to get off work. You are stopping Mr. Ji here. Do you want to eat with Mr. Ji?"

"Manager, no, we have questions that we would like to ask you." The two flatterers were not very convinced by Ji Li. Which president would come to work and leave work on time, more punctual than an ordinary worker?

So I just wanted to embarrass Ji Li a little. This kind of moderate flattery will not be offensive or blamed.

Maybe this rich second generation likes it.

Who knows, Ji Li doesn't buy it at all. He has no intention of inheriting the company. No matter what you think, he just needs to do his job well.

The pretty female manager said a few words that hit their weak spots and they were sent away.

The female manager lifted her hair and turned to chat with the young and handsome president. Everyone was interested in the temporary president. Just like the actions of the two people just now, they were also trying to test Ji Li's temperament and whether he was worth following.

Of course she was also interested. She heard that the temporary president was a bachelor with no bad record and no bad habits, but he was a little weak.

If you catch it, you won’t have to struggle for the rest of your life.

She showed the perfect smile that she had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, but Ji Li was not there.

Where did he go? He looked around and saw that he had already gone to the front door.

"Xiao Cai, why are you here?"

"Aunt Ji and Uncle Ji came to see my dad today and told him some interesting things. It just so happened that I wanted to go to the manor, so I took a detour to pick you up from get off work." Su Xiaocai held up two snacks that she bought on the road. They were so delicious. The old lady who made the hot pancakes had great craftsmanship.

Ji Li put his arm naturally on Su Xiaocai's shoulder in an intimate posture, and his serious face was filled with overflowing happiness.

"Why are you taking advantage of me right away today? You wouldn't do that before. You've changed." Outsiders thought that Su Xiaocai and Ji Li were affectionate, but in fact they just kept bickering on a daily basis.

"I thought you always wanted me to take advantage of you." Ji Li didn't believe that Su Xiaocai couldn't see it. She could even see other people's secret crushes, so how could she not see the intentions of the red-lipped girl behind her.

"Okay. I really want you to be my girlfriend. Do you want a kiss, a hug and a lift up high?"

Shameless, Su Xiaocai is very familiar with this. She pointed at her cheek and asked him to kiss her. Did he dare to kiss her?
Ji Li blushed at what she said and surrendered completely. Why on earth did he like this unruly guy? It was so annoying.

Maybe men won’t love women unless they are bad?
The red-lipped manager at the back stared at Su Xiaocai, trying to figure out if she had recognized the wrong person.

After confirming that it was Su Xiaocai, her heart was beating like a drum and she wanted to scream, Oh my God, why is her goddess here?
Later, she realized one thing: Xiao Ji had quietly hooked up with Su Shen, no wonder he was so cold to a beauty like her. If Su Xiaocai was a man, she would not be interested in any other man even if she hooked up with Su Xiaocai.

With a turn of the toe of her high heels, she wanted to announce the news to the world.

Xiao Ji is really capable! He now has an impeccable excuse to leave work on time.

Recruit the strongest backer for the Ji family.

Doing what ordinary people dare not do is so admirable.

When Mr. Ji came back to work, the news spread throughout the company.

His eldest son is a man of great strategy and vision, and he has hooked up with General Su. This gigolo is so secure in his life that General Su has even taken the initiative to take over his job.

With Ji's father's fortune of a few hundred million, being a gigolo is definitely more promising than being Su Xiaocai's gigolo.

Ji's father regretted: If I had known that my son had succeeded, I would not have come back.

But he couldn't throw the job to his son anymore. Ji Li was busy with work. If he succeeded, he would become a key protected talent like Su Xiaocai.

……

Before the gene-repairing drug was officially put on sale, the Harvest Festival party was held as usual. Without the presence of such a heavyweight as Su Xiaocai, many researchers who came to attend the party were a little bored.

Having said that, this interpersonal communication still needs to take place.

The stars on the stage were singing and dancing, while the people below were holding glasses of wine, clinking glasses and making new connections.

"It's such a pity that she didn't come. She seemed to dislike this lively scene."

"There are new drugs coming out. I guess she is too busy."

"Is the gene repair drug real? If so, our pharmaceutical company would like to ask for advice."

"Why should I ask you for advice? If it were you, you would want to go into seclusion."

"She solved the problem that the Inhuman Research Institute couldn't solve. No wonder she is so arrogant."

"She is young, so it is inevitable that she is arrogant. Maybe we didn't give her enough conditions when we invited her." The most promising and powerful figure of the year didn't even give face to Admiral Yi and Admiral Lu. How could she not be arrogant?

"Don't be ridiculous. Big shots like you have to give face to this party. No matter how strong she is, she is not much stronger than Lieutenant General Bai and others."

Around Lieutenant General Bai, except for two generals who were on vacation and came close to talk to him, the one-meter radius was a vacuum zone.

The momentum is too strong, and those who come here all think they have some status. It would be embarrassing if they approached and were driven away before saying a few words.

"If she hadn't come, I don't know if she would have donated any supplies or money."

"Yes, if the people are not here but the money is there, it will be justified."

We just don’t know how much money will be donated. The donation list and donation amounts will be announced in the end, so no one knows how much each other has donated.

But there is a tacit understanding among people to donate, but the amount is no more than one or two million.

Secretly, everyone completes a lot of verbal transactions at the party. Not only money and power, but also resources and beauty can be the targets of transactions.

Fei'er and Luo Min were also invited because of Su Xiaocai, but they stayed near Lieutenant General Bai to avoid the eyes of many unscrupulous people.

When the evening party is almost over, the list of donors will be announced, and usually the person who donated the most will be ranked first.

This year, everyone seems to have a tacit understanding not to compete for the first place.

Even the Xue family, which had donated the most in the past, only donated three million this year.

The first spot was reserved by default for the nouveau riche Su Xiaocai, but in the end, she didn't even have her name on the list.

"Huh? No way, the donations this year are so high?"

"What about Su Xiaocai? She's not donating?"

"Where's Lieutenant General Bai? I went and he donated a hundred."

Not ten thousand, just three digits, one hundred yuan.

He is very stingy and doesn't care what others think of him. He is even more dazzling than Su Xiaocai who doesn't donate money.

Su Xiaocai, who was watching the live broadcast of the evening party with Feiyi, was about to die of laughter. She held the black and white doll, pointed at the donation list, and said mischievously: "As expected of a military ruffian, I still lose in a shameless competition. Hahahaha, no, when he comes back, I will give him a red envelope of fifty yuan to thank him for attracting everyone's attention and attracting firepower."

Lieutenant General Bai rubbed his head and pretended to be honest: "Hiss, are you all donating so much? Aren't donations usually one or two hundred? That's what the person who invited me said."

The two generals who were chatting next to him said helplessly, "You are a lieutenant general after all, so we will all donate one thousand."

"You can't say that. How would I have known that the Lu family had so many schemes? It turns out he wanted to embarrass me." Lieutenant General Bai turned the tables. That was what they had told him in the beginning.

Lieutenant General Bai's voice was quite loud and many people heard it. They felt that the Lu and Yi families seemed unreliable in doing things, which was not usually the case.

Even Lieutenant General Bai was a fool.

The Lu family's smiles fell: "..." When they said one or two hundred, they naturally meant one or two million. Lieutenant General Bai didn't understand, so couldn't he check the donation amounts in previous years?
It would have been fine if Su Xiaocai ignored the party, but Lieutenant General Bai didn't take it seriously either.

Last year, because of the insect-man disguise incident, everyone was worried and no action was taken.

This year, it has been directly lowered to a lower level.

The sudden and drastic drop in the amount of donations means that this gala has also entered the countdown and it is estimated that it will not be held for several years.

When Admiral Yi and Admiral Lu learned about this, they were a little angry.

He immediately sent a message to Mrs. Lu, accusing her of not doing her job properly.

Mrs. Lu, who had known for a long time that she would be blamed, threw out a divorce agreement and wanted to divorce Admiral Lu.

She didn't intend to do anything extreme, but she handed the matter of the party back to the Lu family and the Yi family according to their wishes.

They can't stand up on their own, and they blame her instead. So there's no need for her to talk about their friendship.

Mrs. Lu's strong demand for a divorce made the other four admirals sympathize with Admiral Lu. If the divorce was successful, Admiral Lu would have to leave his position as admiral.

The four of them and the one at the top would not allow a general to be followed by a large group of burdens.

Everyone knows that General Lu cannot control the Lu family.

Even if there are a few useless people in the Yi family, it does not prevent the majority of the others from working in various institutions.

The Lu family is different. They can’t start a business, only a few join the army, and none can pass the civil service exam. Their elders are unkind and their younger generations are incompetent.

The only one who is somewhat outstanding is General Lu’s son, but this son is not down-to-earth and has brought disaster to his father.

In a workplace where promotion is based on military achievements, relying on one's father is equivalent to giving up the path to the highest position.

Without General Lu, and if he doesn't climb high enough, he might just be stepped on by someone.
