Chapter 77: Huh?!

Du Kaao, who had just let out a sigh of relief, felt his heart jump back into his throat after hearing these words from the old man.

Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and the Dark Matter Computing Cloud were his lifelines; to just hand them over like this was truly unacceptable to him.

After thinking it over, Du Kaao decided to try and bargain.

"Chief, you wouldn't have any use for this Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and Dark Matter Computing Cloud even if you took them. How about you choose something else instead, perhaps the Dark Titanium Alloy?"

"Or perhaps..."

Before Du Kaao could finish his sentence, the old man coldly interrupted him.

"Little Du, do you think I am here to negotiate with you?"

"Whether I have a use for them or not is my business, but if I want them, you must give them to me! Otherwise, I will strip you of your control over the Super Soldier Company!"

After hearing these words, Du Kaao had made his decision.

He would give up the Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and the Dark Matter Computing Cloud; it was no big deal, as even if he gave them away, no one in all of Huaxia could use them except for him!

Even Ye Cang couldn't!

Although Ye Cang was a genius, he couldn't build something like a Dark Matter Computer.

As for how he was able to shield Deno III, he had merely used some clever tricks; in the end, he had no real strength.

But the Super Soldier Company was different.

That was something he had poured his heart and soul into. If he handed over the Super Soldier Company, as he said before, he would be finished.

"Understood, Chief. I will hand these two things over to you in a moment."

"Do you have any other matters, Chief?"

The old man shook his head.

"Nothing else."

"However, Little Du, I still must say a few words to you. In the future, you must strengthen the tactical literacy of the Super Soldier Company. Every soldier's life is precious, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Du Kaao immediately nodded.

"You are right; it was my negligence before."

"Rest assured, I will definitely strengthen the tactical literacy of the Super Soldier Company in the future. Just as you said, I will have them take exams, and those who don't pass will have to study! We won't discuss anything else until they pass."

Listening to Du Kaao's resolute reply, the old man said nothing more, but waved his hand, signaling him to go and retrieve the items.

Without another word, Du Kaao turned and left the conference room.

At this moment, only Ye Cang, the old man, and the members of the Super Soldier Company remained in the conference room.

The old man and Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction; the two sat side by side, holding their cups and drinking water.

The members of the Super Soldier Company, however, were in a strange state.

Oh, and as mentioned before, Di Leina was the exception.

The group, led by Ge Xiaolun, sat in their chairs feeling incredibly uncomfortable, each one more nervous than the last.

Especially Du Qiangwei; after calming down, she had realized a few things, and as a result, she became nervous.

Thinking about how brave she had been in front of that person just moments ago, she wanted to leave immediately, but she dared not speak up.

The members of the Super Soldier Company looked at one another.

Finally, Liu Chuang stood up.

"U-um, two Chiefs!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Cang and the old man looked at Liu Chuang in unison, breaking Liu Chuang out in a cold sweat.

But he still bit the bullet and said, "It's just, um, you see, the meeting is over, so we can leave now... it doesn't seem appropriate to stay here any longer."

Hearing this from Liu Chuang, the old man realized.

"Oh my, look at my memory, how could I have forgotten about you all." As he spoke, the old man patted his forehead.

"Since there is nothing else, then go."

"By the way, Qi Lin and Rui Mengmeng, stay behind."

After saying this, the old man thought for a moment, "Leina, if you are willing to stay, you may stay as well."

Upon hearing the old man's words, the others rose and left as if granted amnesty.

But just as Du Qiangwei passed by the old man, the old man suddenly spoke.

"Qiangwei, you are still young. In the future, don't be too impulsive; you must use your brain for everything, otherwise, you will only be the one to suffer."

"Go on!"

Du Qiangwei didn't dare to speak; she nodded and left.

Di Leina had originally wanted to leave, but she was curious about why the old man had asked her to stay, so she did not leave.

At this moment, Ye Cang looked at the three girls in front of him, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Why were these three left behind alone?

Could it be that the old man was still thinking about having him find a girlfriend and get married?

That couldn't be!

He had already clearly refused, and besides, it was impossible for the old man to ask them directly about such a thing!

If he asked, wouldn't his old face be completely lost? The old man would always leave him some face.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang felt much more at ease.

Yes, keeping them behind was most likely for something else.

Picking up his cup, Ye Cang took a gentle sip.

But before he could swallow this mouthful of water, the old man's words shocked him so much that he spat it right out.

"I won't ask Leina, she definitely doesn't have one."

"What about you two, Mengmeng and Qi Lin, do you have boyfriends?"

This sudden question caught both Rui Mengmeng and Qi Lin off guard.

After being stunned for a full few seconds, the two of them shook their heads in unison.

"No." ×2

Seeing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

"It's good that you don't have boyfriends. Then look at this, Ye..."

Before the character 'Cang' could be spoken, Ye Cang hurriedly interrupted the old man.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"That's enough, that's enough! Didn't we say we were skipping this topic!"

"Alright, that's it. Rui Mengmeng, Qi Lin, and Di Leina, you three can go now. Okay, okay, that's it!"

Rui Mengmeng was naturally very obedient and left the conference room, while Qi Lin took a deep look at Ye Cang before leaving.

Di Leina held back her laughter, walked over to Ye Cang, patted his shoulder, and then left.

However, as soon as Di Leina left the conference room, she burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

She laughed so happily that Ye Cang covered his ears.

Meanwhile, Rui Mengmeng and Qi Lin began to whisper to each other.

"Sister Qi Lin, what did that person mean? Why did he ask if we have boyfriends, and why didn't Chief Engineer Ye let him continue speaking?"

Looking at Rui Mengmeng's curious-baby expression, Qi Lin shook her head helplessly.

This child Rui Mengmeng is good at everything, but she is just so adorably dense; sometimes her brain just doesn't react.

"You, Mengmeng, why are you so silly?" Qi Lin said, "That person meant that he wants to find a girlfriend for Chief Engineer Ye."

"Do you understand now?"

"So that's it!" Rui Mengmeng suddenly realized.

"Chief Engineer Ye is actually still single; I thought Chief Engineer Ye already had a girlfriend."

"By the way, Sister Qi Lin, what do you think of Chief Engineer Ye? Is he suitable to be your boyfriend?"

Rui Mengmeng's question caught Qi Lin off guard.
