The feasibility report was written very rigorously, but the astronomical budget required made Shao Jun a little shocked, and Gu Lei was also surprised: "It's terrible, this fee, wait! What kind of expert consulting fee is this?" It’s too expensive! What kind of expert? Euler Ph.D supervisor? Who? I’ve never heard of it, so don’t invite me! All the theory can guide me and Daniel!”

Daniel on the side wrinkled the petals and nodded, "This consultation fee is really expensive."

Gu Lei continued to add: "It's still easy to leak secrets. Daniel and I can't solve the problem. To put it bluntly, few experts from the Alliance Empire can solve it. This theory is already very mature, and it doesn't involve other patents. I I also think that there is no need to hire experts, and the cost can be reduced by half of the budget.”

Shao Jun said: "Okay, I'll talk to the earl about cutting this item off."

Gu Lei and Daniel nodded, the older and the younger, and continued to point to the project feasibility report and project proposal and began to talk endlessly, almost completely incomprehensible, but it didn't matter, he was only responsible for memorizing the conclusions and passing them on to the outside Project Team.

After the discussion, Shao Jun asked Gu Lei: "Is Xia really planning to sell the goods?"

Gu Lei said: "Yes, I have snatched a lot of things from the Red Ghost, and I plan to sell them. It is not easy for the Huajian family to make a move. They have big goals, and they are easy to be targeted by others. When the time comes, they will follow us. No. It’s just that these things must be sold in a large sum, otherwise the shipping fee will not be enough, so we can only go back to Lorraine to find big customers through underground clubs, and ship the goods through anonymous channels. After converting them into money, we plan to Hiring interstellar mercenaries, taking advantage of the fact that the Red Ghost is now splitting, just in time to retake our base, but now the club in the main city of Lorraine is a bit far away, and it is a bit troublesome."

Shao Jun said: "There is a relatively hidden portal, you can go directly to Luolan."

Gu Lei was stunned: "How do you know?" Suddenly he reacted: "Yes, no wonder I said why you came here so fast."

Shao Jun took Gu Lei to find the door of the secret room behind the throne: "It's best not to let outsiders know about this door." Gu Lei nodded: "I know, we are a secret base, it's amazing, how did you find this door? of."

Shao Jun said: "I just walked around and found it when I was free."

Gu Lei sneered, but didn't ask in detail. After all, Xia's cousin was really fascinated too much. Because he forged a Skynet identity to get close to Xia, even Xia was kept in the dark. Of course, there are many mysteries about Xia—well, at least both of them are good people. Gu Lei finally gave up thinking and decided to rely on Trust them with intuition, after all, these star thieves and black households, who doesn't have some past that they want to cover up and can't bear to look back on?

The feasibility report finally submitted after Shao Jun's review was finally handed in. Anatoly repeatedly confirmed that no expert consultation was needed and passed the report, but he still smiled and said to him: "There is really no need to save this money, we are not short of money , I really don't want you to be too tired."

He speaks affectionately and is very considerate, which always gives people the illusion that he is especially cherished by him, but it is a pity that Shao Jun is not sensitive to sexual desire and love from men, so he just explained very frankly: "It is not only from In terms of saving money, there is also the factor of confidentiality, assuming that this expert does not know much about theoretical knowledge, he is very likely to discuss it with his teachers, colleagues, and even students, and even if he is cautious, it is easy to leak the secrets.”

Anatoly nodded: "You think right." Then he invited him: "You have been busy with work all day, today is my birthday, you can always attend my birthday party, right?"

Shao Jun was a little stunned: "Ah, is it today? Happy birthday to you, where is the dinner party?"

Anatole said: "It's in the main hall of the front yard of the villa we live in. I'm just worried that you are stuck in work and you even forgot my birthday. You are really too busy these days. I didn’t expect you to be a workaholic, and you read materials without leaving home when you go home, and you also read materials without leaving your home in the office, which is not good for your health.”

Shao Jun apologized: "Okay, I will definitely attend tonight. When the time comes, I will change my clothes and go to the lobby. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Anatoly said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are more distinguished guests from countries in the alliance tonight, so I might be a bit inept, please forgive me."

Shao Jun said: "Just don't mind my negligence. I have prepared a gift, but it may not be very suitable."

Anatoly narrowed his amber eyes and smiled: "There is still a gift? That is already a surprise, what is it?"

Shao Jun said: "Mr. Earl has good taste and he doesn't lack anything. I can only order a simple watch for you." He found a metal box from his handbag: "It was just finished and sent here. The watch has only made a small change, that is, a button is set on the side of the dial. After pressing it, it can prop up a small ion shield around the wearer for self-defense. Each time it lasts about 3 minutes, and it can only be used about three times. , but after replacing the energy stick, it can continue to be used.”

Anatoly was really surprised: "This is made by new energy? Jinxi Energy needs a large core to support the ion shield, and it can't be portable." He took it and opened it, The design of the watch is quite gorgeous and complicated, with the sun, moon and stars inlaid with sapphire and pure gold, and it doesn't look too ordinary when worn on his hand.

Shao Jun nodded: "Yes, the new energy is used. Other energy sources can't be carried around in such a small size. It can be regarded as a new product development direction in the future. The shape of the watch is designed and customized by Fengshao. I'm not very good at this. , The watch provided before is too simple, Feng Shao said it doesn’t match your style.” He also customized a watch with a silver rose pattern on the back, and let Hua Jianxue take it to Ke Xia on the next spaceship, Hua Jian Feng unceremoniously made two for their own use.

Anatoly put it on cherishingly: "I will like whatever you give me." He stroked the surface and said with emotion: "When this defense device is launched on the market, all dignitaries will definitely flock to it—at least I am now I just want to order one for my daughter.”

Shao Jun smiled: "I already asked Daniel to give it to Miss Irina in the morning." Anatoly looked at his smiling side face and felt a little itchy, but still suppressed the idea of ​​forcing him to stay immediately. The impulse to come down: "I have accepted such a generous gift, please also tell me your birthday so that I can return the gift."

Shao Jun shook his head: "You are too polite."

The two walked all the way, boarded the shuttle together, and returned to the villa where they lived.

The villa has been completely redecorated, and the small shuttles at the entrance have been filled up one after another. Shao Jun went back to the small building where he lived, tidied up his appearance, changed into formal clothes, and chatted with Daniel about the progress of the project. , Seeing that the time was coming, I also went to the lobby of the front yard. There were already many guests in the lobby. They stood or sat in small groups and talked at the long buffet table. On one side of the dance floor, there was a band playing softly. Shao Jun casually took a glass of wine, then found a corner and stood there, planning to meet Anatole later, and then he could leave.

The number of guests began to increase gradually. The concierge at the door arranged three or four butlers, still trotting back and forth, suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and then Anatole was hurriedly led to the door by a butler, presumably it was important. guest.

The surrounding guests also whispered: "Which VIP has arrived? The Grand Duke?"

After a while, Anatoly walked in accompanied by several guests, smiling broadly. The one in the center was wearing a dark black Union military uniform, with deep eyes and a hooked nose. The beautiful young female guest, with red hair and green eyes, with a slightly blank face, is the marshal's daughter, Ruth.

The guests were discussing one after another: "It turned out that Marshal Bruce came in person. No wonder the Grand Duke arrived so late. It turned out that he was going to accompany the Marshal."

"Who is that female guest on the arm of the marshal?"

"The marshal's daughter, I heard that she works in the mecha team of the First Legion, she is very good - I heard that Earl Onegin seems to intend to develop in the political arena, is the next step going to marry the marshal's daughter?"

"It's unlikely, but the marshal wants to make friends with him for sure. I heard that the president also has a good personal relationship with the earl."

"Count Onegin really has face."

"Does it need to be said? He has a wide range of faces. I just saw that several dukes of the empire have also sent people to give gifts."

"For energy business, naturally we have to make good deals with the empire, not to mention that we have signed the contract now."

Shao Jun looked at the marshal father and daughter indifferently, and suddenly someone patted his shoulder. He turned his head and saw a beautiful girl in a dark green velvet dress smiling at him, a little pleasantly surprised: "Ling Laner, why are you here?" here?"

Ling Lan'er smiled softly: "I was surprised when I saw you. Although Tingfeng said that you are working here, I didn't expect to meet you tonight. I happen to have a concert in the Principality of Hawke. Yes, I also received the invitation, how are you? And Xia, how is it?"

Shao Jun said: "We are all fine, how about you? And Bruce?"

Ling Lan'er said: "Bru is very good. He has already passed the Union Military Academy. It's free, and he even got a scholarship."

Shao Jun couldn't help but feel relieved: "The child has grown up."

Ling Lan'er smiled sweetly: "It sounds like you are getting old. I don't think you have changed at all, and you are still in full bloom."

Shao Jun smiled and didn't say anything, but changed the subject to discuss some recent developments with her.

However, in the eyes of Anatoly, who was talking with the marshal above, this scene fell on the young man who was originally taciturn and almost dull, but now he was laughing at Yan Yan with a beautiful woman, talking very speculatively, the woman looked familiar , I think it is a popular movie star somewhere, but it should not be important, but when I talk to him, I am very close, and I don't even shy away from physical contact, as if I hit it off.

This made Anatoly, who couldn't find a breakthrough these days, feel melancholy.
