CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 16: EXCHANGE

"Can the new technology compare with my family?" Xue Huiyi scoffed, thinking these people are too eager, believing that a little technology can catch up with the Xue Family.

Xue Huiyi’s cousin patted her shoulder, "We all know that Uncle’s mecha manufacturing technology is number one, but since Uncle doesn’t allow us to say it, let’s not say it. Anyway, the government and the Military Department can’t do without you."

The Xue Family has led in mecha technology for over a hundred years into the future.

Xue Huiyi pondered that her family should reveal new technology soon, and she could illustrate her past life’s award-winning work, striving to achieve this honor first.

Kite Law Firm sent two lawyers and two assistants.

The lawyers were surrounded by people, while the assistants leisurely ate on the balcony.

Wu Qingqing followed her mother, wearing the pantsuit she insisted on, cheerfully greeting all the uncles and aunties.

Mrs. Wu gave her a hard pat on the back, "Be serious."

Being serious meant acting ladylike.

The aristocratic woman opposite Mrs. Wu covered half her mouth, "Oh, I heard Miss Wu went to the military school to learn mecha driving. Maybe she became so bold because that job is mostly handled by the rough army folks."

Wu Qingqing quickly changed her smile, gracefully and theatrically staring at the aristocratic women with eyes almost up in the air and said, "Hello Auntie, you’ve become prettier recently. Did you go to a beauty salon? You’ve puffed up like a steamed bun. Tell us which hospital did it, so we can all avoid it."

Not seen for nearly a month, Wu Qingqing was influenced by negotiation, her martial arts didn’t improve much, but she almost mastered Su Xiaocai’s sarcastic essence.

The aristocratic woman who mocked Wu Qingqing’s roughness blushed instantly. Of course, her face recently underwent a procedure, but the recovery wasn’t quick. The servants told her there wasn’t a trace of plastic surgery, so she came to the party.

She would fire the servants immediately when she returned.

The current cosmetic surgery is very advanced, but it’s still surgery and needs time to recover.

In battlefields, Healing Chambers are often used to accelerate injury recovery, but they have side effects, with a significant chance of causing gene collapse.

In wealthy families, who wants a short life, they opt for slow recovery unless near death and have no choice.

Mrs. Wu didn’t scold her daughter, the other side mocked her daughter, and her daughter retaliated, no problem.

But she feared her daughter would disrupt her social circle, so she quickly took her away.

She couldn’t squeeze into the Kite lawyers’ side.

Noticing on the balcony were Lawyer Zhang’s assistants, Mrs. Wu turned her feet and led Wu Qingqing in front of Fei Yi, "Assistant Fei, hello, I’m Luo Li, Wu Peijun’s wife, we make mecha parts. This is my daughter, Wu Qingqing."

Fei Yi had seen Wu Qingqing, her guarded heart slightly relaxed, "Hello, Mrs. Wu. Do you have something to discuss?"

Wu Qingqing curiously stared at Fei Yi, Mrs. Wu hadn’t opened her mouth, Wu Qingqing said, "I recognize you, you are Caicai’s lawyer assistant, aren’t you?"

Fei Yi secretly considered whether Wu Qingqing knew about Su Xiaocai’s affairs or not.

Recalling Su Xiaocai’s character, low-key, lacking youthful fervor, clearly expressing a love for farming and not wanting to stand out, even as a roommate, she might have hidden some things.

Fei Yi said, "Yes, her father has known Lawyer Zhang for many years, so he entrusted things to us."

Mrs. Wu asked, "Did your classmate have some issue?"

Wu Qingqing replied, "Applying for a patent."

Su Xiaocai’s project is still in the confidentiality stage, and Fei Yi worried that Mrs. Wu might associate Su Xiaocai as the topic’s main figure tonight.

The more evasive, the easier to arouse suspicion, Fei Yi candidly said, "Yes, Miss Su is very capable, already starting the patent application process at such a young age."

"Your roommate is all freshmen, right?" Mrs. Wu praised, "Then Qingqing’s roommate must have a bright future."

Mrs. Wu turned and gently stroked her daughter’s hand, "What is she studying? You should learn more from her, instead of just fighting all the time."

Wu Qingqing replied, "Agricultural Research Institute."

Mrs. Wu, being a heiress, had previously attended an Art Academy, didn’t know much about technology, and was unclear about the military school’s majors, thinking they were entirely related to military positions.

"Your school has an Agricultural Institute?"

Wu Qingqing used Su Xiaocai’s words, "Even soldiers need to eat."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Wu turned to ask Fei Yi, "Has that classmate already cultivated a new variety so quickly?"

"Mom, applying for a patent at the Agricultural Institute doesn’t necessarily mean cultivating a new variety. If you don’t understand, don’t inquire too much."

Fei Yi had signed a confidential agreement and dared not let anything slip. At first, she also found it hard to believe an Agricultural Institute student would cross fields to apply for a patent. After interacting with Su Xiaocai for a while, she realized how extraordinary she was.
