Chapter 223 Being Pulled to a Meeting
Oh no, she was actually called for such an important matter. There must be something fishy going on. "When?"
"Three days later."
"How many days will you stay?"
"One...two weeks?"
No fixed time? Su Xiaocai calculated the time and said, "I can't go back to Dazhi Star anymore."
Fanli cannot guarantee it.
Since Su Xiaocai's scrutiny was too blunt, Fan Li had no choice but to tell the truth, "Admiral Bai said that the nobles in the empire are afraid of you. Now that the empire's people are here, they want you to calm the situation, at least until the negotiations are over."
Diplomats will go to nearby planets for negotiations. After all, all the nobles have been moved here to do hard labor.
"That's not necessary." Su Xiaocai became even more suspicious.
"Yes, because the people from the Empire have found out that you have no intention of joining the army, so you are not a big threat to them. If you are willing to participate in this negotiation, it means that you are ready to go to the battlefield at any time." This was Fan Li's guess, and it was not clear whether there was any other deeper meaning.
Su Xiaocai felt that this formula was very familiar. It was somewhat similar to the rhetoric she used to trick new recruits into the army when she was a general.
First give the other party a sense of unshirkable responsibility. If the other party is willing to take this responsibility, then it will be easy. Just transfer him to her subordinate team immediately.
Once it's in her hands, you can't retreat.
This also indirectly proves that those who can become generals are all good at deceiving people.
General Bai would not fool her into becoming an admiral. She would have a greater role to play in the scientific research community. So, was she really a deterrent in the past? The other party would not do that.
“Are the people in the empire so afraid of me? I don’t eat people.” Su Xiaocai felt that it was not that simple.
But this is the case.
"The people of the Empire tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. Really, I'm not lying to you. I've observed it myself. From top to bottom, everyone is afraid of the strong. If you are strong enough, they will be willing to submit to you."
I have to say that Fan Li's honest face and kind style are convincing.
"Let me think about it. We still have a few days. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Fan Li nodded immediately. Even before he saw the food, his mouth was already secreting a lot of saliva.
The aroma was already filling the air. He knew that Su Xiaocai's food was definitely better than any other food on Dazhi Star.
"Then I'm welcome."
After Chibi Maruko brought the dishes to the table, Su Xiaocai enjoyed dinner quietly. Fan Li sat with the bodyguards and talked about the past and present, then talked about the situation, weapons, policies, and finally returned to ways and methods of increasing their own strength.
The bodyguards are also active military personnel. They have all trained behind Su Xiaocai for some time and have no problem chatting with Fan Li.
The bodyguard whispered to Fan Li that Su Xiaocai's training was extremely strict, and if the training standards were not met, a robot would come over to "chant scriptures". That kind of torture was more terrible than the punishment of physical training.
Of course, many times plans cannot keep up with changes. If there are changes, you have to find ways to achieve your goals yourself.
Life is hard. The simulated combat in the simulation cabin is no different from real combat, which allows me to remember the feeling of being on the battlefield at all times.
Moreover, Su Xiaocai will provide the most complete medical system and food care, and Emperor Wu can eat as much bamboo shoots as he wants.
There is nothing wrong with being her subordinate, except that it is difficult to achieve military merit.
When they return to the battlefield, they will shine again.
Fan Li picked up a piece of lemon and put it in his mouth. He listened to them talking. He didn't feel sour, but bitter. "By the way, when are you going to change positions? I'll sign up for next time, too."
"We will probably stay with Admiral Su for another year, just wait."
Fan Li felt that the smug smiles on their faces were really asking for a beating. A year later, there would probably be dozens more military kings on the battlefield.
The progress of Ji Heng and his people was obvious to all. He had been their instructor and knew their previous strengths.
From being able to kill the Greedy only through cooperation to being able to fight against the Zerg Mother, the gap in between is like a recruit speeding up the process of becoming a major general.
Anyone who undergoes Su Xiaocai's training will benefit greatly. Su Xiaocai may not be as dedicated as she is to Wu Qingqing and others, but she sincerely hopes that the people around her will get better and better.
It doesn't stop them from flying high, so she is willing to accept a rotation of bodyguards instead of a fixed group of people.
"Admiral Su is really good. After leaving her, I may not be able to adapt for a long time."
“I’m very grateful for her efforts.”
"..."
After Su Xiaocai finished eating, she sat on a chair not far from them to work. She leaned her head out and said, "You are being sentimental in front of me, don't you consider my embarrassment?"
"No, you won't be embarrassed." Fan Li laughed and said, "Isn't it good for us to praise you?"
"I'd rather hear what you guys say about me in private. Just go ahead and I won't get mad."
Fan Li: "Do you think we are fools?"
They believed that she would not be angry, but they didn't know whether they would increase the training afterwards.
There will be people praising her, but there will also definitely be some complaints behind her. She is not money, so she cannot be loved by everyone.
The little girl lay on the desk, looking at them with interest with her big eyes, like a harmless rabbit that could only kick its legs when anxious.
Who dares to complain?
People who know her well know how deceptive her rabbit skin is. If they say bad things to her face, it will be their turn to be embarrassed.
Seeing that they didn't plant any, Su Xiaocai chuckled twice and went back to her computer screen to organize the plant data she had collected recently.
The theory of Qi sensation empiricism is useful, but we cannot abandon scientific theory. We need to understand the principles clearly so that we can carry out scientific training.
The so-called scientific training is actually suitable for the general public. If you want to make faster progress, you should customize the method according to your actual situation and personal physical fitness.
When Su Xiaocai was working, she blocked out other people's voices and used her brain to think except for drinking water.
No one knew when Fan Li left, so Xiaowanzi told her on his behalf, "If you want to leave together, reply to him the day after tomorrow night."
"Ah."
The current situation is favorable to the Ten Stars, but the Empire's ambitions are too big. Its own cake is so big, but it wants to eat other people's first.
As for the Ten Stars, compared to the Empire, they are already at the forefront of technology, and this advantage will only grow.
So Su Xiaocai was a little hesitant.
Peace is relative. Only by maintaining a balance can it last forever.
Su Xiaocai turned around in her chair. "General Bai, that old fellow must be guilty. Sigh, why am I so mean?"
Chibi Maruko: "Humans are contradictory, Nana, you can't belittle yourself."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Tell Fan Li that I need a lot of plant samples, and ask him to help pick them. We can set off once they're done." "Okay!" Xiaowanzi told Su Xiaocai another thing, "Xiaozhi from the Law Enforcement Department has a new container. It's now more intelligent. Be careful when you're on the Capital Planet."
After the idiot upgraded the equipment, he immediately sent a notification to Su Xiaocai, asking her to be careful.
"It's okay. I won't stay in the capital planet after I graduate. As long as you don't make a big mistake, the police won't care."
There are not so many places in the detention house, and the little mentally retarded person is in charge of traffic. He can only be used to investigate when a case occurs.
In order to catch the person who modified the video, Xiaozhi now has a secret box, and the real-time image produced will be recorded in a one-way instrument like a photo.
Xiaozhi cannot extract the information, and outsiders don't know where the box is.
It can only be taken out and used when you need to compare the videos.
Xiaozhi's upgrade also means that the capture operation is about to begin.
But the other party should also notice it. Will he run away?
At that time, Fan Li saw the message sent by Su Xiaocai and smiled. He knew that Su Xiaocai was really interested in the fun. How could Su Xiaocai miss it when the imperial diplomat came to discuss the redemption?
Three days later, Su Xiaocai picked enough plants and turned to the military camp.
Wenwen was so resentful. She went there for a free meal yesterday and was planning to get a few more meals, but who knew that Su Xiaocai was going to move again.
The temporary housing was built up quickly and dismantled quickly. The military bodyguards were very mobile and they took down and packed up everything with a bang.
Su Xiaocai went to Professor Li to say goodbye and thank him for his help.
Although before she came, her superiors still arranged the land for her, so she didn't really need the school to act as a middleman.
"I didn't do anything. Remember not to give up on your study of agriculture. Now many people like to grow vegetables and pay attention to farming. You have contributed to this."
Professor Li likes this student Su Xiaocai very much. She grows so fast that he hardly has enough fun being her mentor before she grows into a towering tree.
After happily seeing off Su Xiaocai, Professor Li turned around and looked at the first wave of senior disciples who were standing crookedly and having fun playing with the drones given by Su Xiaocai.
The little girls have grown up, but the eldest sons and daughters are still playing in the mud and sand.
When Professor Li looked at them, he felt that it would be useless to have another brain.
Su Xiaocai left Dazhi Star reluctantly and looked back to admire the beautiful scenery of the planet. She was afraid that it would take a long time for her to come back.
No matter how many plants there are on the Dazhi Star, for her, she can only see them again by chance.
After all, growing vegetables is her main job.
Su Xiaocai stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier, looking at the starry sky that was so close, getting closer and closer to another planet.
The place she was going to looked like a mechanical planet, but it was transformed from a small planet and was filled with planting greenhouses, which was equivalent to the experimental planting base behind the big plant planet.
It can be both self-sufficient and contribute scientific strength.
When Su Xiaocai arrived, General Bai came to greet her in person. As soon as he came up, he said with a smile, "I heard from my nephew that his Qi sense has been upgraded. I have to thank you for coming to my territory. You can play as you like. If you need my cooperation, just tell me."
"Wait until the day you need me, and then let me out to bite people?"
"Don't be so straightforward." Admiral Bai smiled. His nephew's strength would improve and he would soon be promoted to the position of admiral.
The last time I dealt with so many Zerg Mothers and Zerg Warriors, I received an injection that helped with the explosion, so my body functions will inevitably show signs of gradual decline.
This is the price, and it is also the best option to resign from this position with dignity.
There are gains and losses. According to his age, even if his peak period has passed, he can still be on the front line. When he is older, he will retreat to the backstage.
This negotiation is crucial. The more he gets from the negotiation, the more resources he will get, which will be beneficial to his nephew's subsequent development.
The meeting was held in a hurry and Su Xiaocai was not given too much rest. He took Su Xiaocai to the meeting room to negotiate the terms first. Otherwise, if the little ancestor did not cooperate in the end, he would lose both the wife and the army.
Of course he is not the only one in the meeting room. After all, it would be useless to just talk to him.
So there are many big shots in the conference room, and the conditions for claims have been discussed many times, and only recently have a few plans been confirmed.
Confirmation does not mean it is finalized. Now that Su Xiaocai is here, we have to talk again.
In all their plans, Su Xiaocai is a very important part.
Standing outside, it becomes a facade, with its own power, and the intimidation effect is doubled.
Since she came to Dazhi Star and they happened to be nearby, she should not leave.
Su Xiaocai was very confused. She knew nothing, so she came to the meeting room and watched the big shots express their opinions. She could only remain silent.
After chatting for nearly three hours, Su Xiaocai drank three cups of tea leisurely and finally understood what they were talking about.
Everyone else's throats were almost smoking, but she hadn't said a word.
Just by listening to what they talked about, she could imagine how much loss the empire would suffer.
During the break, Su Xiaocai was not afraid of making a fool of herself and asked General Bai a silly question, "Have you found the clues they hide in the ten stars? How dare you put forward so many conditions? Those stupid nobles are not worth anything at all."
The people at the meeting couldn't help but laugh at her. "Nobles are worthless, but if the Empire doesn't redeem them, who would dare to come a second time? Those who charged in have all died, so there must be a second batch."
Moreover, before those nobles came, they probably had made preparations, hiding a large amount of property, or holding cutting-edge technological blueprints, or having relatives or heirs to take the initiative.
"Tsk tsk, they are very rich. Just look at how their people live and you will know how rich they are. So there is no need to worry that they can't afford it."
We talked for another two hours before we finished discussing the process.
Su Xiaocai's eyes are dull. She might as well grow vegetables. Engaging in schemes and intrigues is even more brain-consuming than doing scientific research.
The situation is turbulent and everyone is fighting hard for their own interests.
And at the negotiating table with so many big shots, they also saw that Su Xiaocai was a non-confrontational person. She was not really interested in power, but she was not a soft persimmon either.
What belongs to her should not be less than a cent.
As long as it concerns her interests, she will be very good at talking, chattering even more than a duck. If anyone shows a stern look at her, she will go to the table and point at him and scold him.
She was justified in scolding them. She didn't fight for power or profit, and she provided them with technical support. She was a promising young person with positive energy. Why were the arrows pointed at her?
They were arguing about what was going on with her, as if she had come here on her own initiative.
She kept on talking for ten minutes, until several politicians couldn't help laughing. Only then did she stop.
After that, she sat down obediently and no one dared to argue with her anymore. She was barefoot and not afraid of those who wore shoes.
If you really make her angry, it's easy to bring someone down. Although the honorary general is just a decoration, she is the general after all, and everyone must give her some face.
Knowing that she was not someone who would suffer any loss, his desire to take advantage of her naturally faded.
After five hours, everything was discussed and Admiral Bai was very happy. It was because he was too busy with the facade.
After Su Xiaocai scolded them, she felt annoyed when she heard them continue to talk about irrelevant things.
She spoke very directly, saying that if they couldn't reach an agreement today, they shouldn't talk about it in the future.
