Chapter 691 - 211: Gene Drug (2)
"Thank you for your hard work."The two gift boxes were somewhat heavy. Fei’er asked, "Can we open them now?"
"As you please."
Removing the lids, inside lay a set of gemstone jewelry. Luo Min’s set was themed around the deep sea, with blue gemstones as the focus.
Fei’er’s set was designed with the theme of blazing sun, the jewelry an intense red.
They were lustrous yet dazzling, almost blinding. These gemstones are rare in supply and cannot be artificially synthesized for now.
"This is too precious." Luo Min found it overwhelming, reluctantly touching the jewels, she returned them with some regret, "You’ve helped us a lot, I can’t accept this."
Seeing Luo Min do so, Fei’er gritted her teeth and handed them over with pained reluctance.
"I don’t deal in gemstones; to me, they’re just rocks. Take them," Su Xiaocai said casually. The gems were beautiful, but she rarely had the chance to wear them. Three to four sets were already enough.
When Daddy Su first gifted them, she showed her appreciation, so afterward, Daddy Su not only sent fresh fruit but also had Aunt Xing design them into jewelry to send over.
The gifts kept coming, and Su Xiaocai didn’t want to extinguish Daddy Su’s rare display of fatherly love.
Giving two sets to them just right, not wasting them.
"Don’t pass them on or sell them, or they’ll forever be worthless."
Fei’er and Luo Min: "..."
Can it be understood this way?
This maneuver was purely a futile effort.
"Then, we won’t hold back." Luo Min tremblingly accepted it back, too thrilled to price the jewelry, meeting a favored buyer could price it over a hundred million.
In the future, it would belong to her. Fei’er couldn’t contain her excitement, loudly proclaiming to Su Xiaocai, "Daddy benefactor, I love you. I am willing to go through fire and water for you anytime, just say the word."
Caught off guard by the confession, Su Xiaocai was momentarily stunned, then chuckled knowingly: "Keep up the good work, yeah, just do what you can."
Once out of the manor, word quickly spread that Su Xiaocai had encouraged two actresses by gifting two sets of valuable jewelry.
The two sets were photographed separately and posted on their account, with the same post content, all thanking the gift from a gal pal.
Once the post and photo were on the platform, netizens’ anticipation for their gal pals to get rich reached its peak, tagging their own friends to ask when they would strike it rich.
Peers were all envious and wanted Luo Min and Fei’er, from the same company, to show the real thing for everyone to admire.
Luo Min and Fei’er dreaded such situations and, fearing theft, had already put the jewelry in the bank early on.
For peers who wanted to see, only videos and photos were provided.
"Why are you so stingy?"
"Exactly, with Su Xiaocai as a friend, isn’t a second set assured?"
"Hiding it away, don’t want to lend it out!"
There were many envious and jealous people, inevitably leading to questions about how two actresses with not-so-high educational backgrounds became friends with Su Xiaocai.
Luo Min and Fei’er consistently replied, "Su Xiaocai is very kind, friendly, and especially chatty. We knew her before she became famous."
Kind? Friendly? She’s indeed pretty great to friends, but to enemies...
Take Xue Huiyi, who has already been sent to Bifeng Prison to serve twenty years.
Or Yi Wenling, who wants a promotion, but unless he makes a more outstanding contribution, he is destined to stay in his current position. Even Admiral Yi secretly trying to help him was of no use; Su Xiaocai was very dissatisfied with Yi Wenling for releasing Yi Suilu.
So dissatisfied that, some technological inventions, when sold to the military, came with conditional clauses targeting her with retribution.
Su Xiaocai does not prevent Yi Wenling from achieving great merit to get promoted, but if the Yi family dares to use influence to give him convenience, they can’t blame her for being ruthless.
The brat’s misdeeds are backed by lousy parenting; Yi Wenling must pay the price for his past indulgence.
Yi Wenling indeed suffered substantial setbacks. Clearly, he could have been promoted, but because of a word from Su Xiaocai, he was left grudgingly in place, only able to get lateral transfers or remain, if not demoted.
And staying in his current position, there are hardly any opportunities for great achievements.
He wanted to get a lateral transfer to the battlefield, but the Yi family elders wouldn’t allow it; the battlefield was too chaotic, with daily deaths, and for a purely technical soldier meeting Insect Men, a fatal outcome was certain.
Since the Empire’s resplendent derelict ship was placed at the border, the Empire’s Insect Men seemed to have a guide, continuously trying to move in this direction.
They were not confined to a single direction; wherever there was a border area, they appeared ceaselessly.
Therefore, the much-anticipated Yi Wenling could only endure temporarily, enduring until the prisoner problem was resolved before considering further.
As for the Insect Man issue, the Ten Stars Republic naturally planned to account for it with the Empire, shifting all problems onto the Empire. Regardless of whether they ransomed their people back, compensation was a must.
