Chapter 345: Consideration

"You never taught Su Yu?"

The two really are like master and disciple, both thinking about wasting money! Lan Wei was stunned by Su Xi's question.

"I taught her, but not completely; I didn't teach her to hack the whole school's computers."

His stamina is poor; he can't lift the pot.

"You two are quite alike!"

"Is that so? I don't think so."

Lan Wei persisted, "Why not let her work on strengthening your company's firewall, or have her study more, develop a few more apps for your company, create more value! If all those apps of yours were replaced with ones she makes, the performance should jump a level!"

A natural alliance, an unbetrayable workforce, and you don't even use them? The life teacher lightly stepped on Lan Wei's foot.

"Aaa!"

Lan Wei hopped on one foot, sat on the sofa, hugging one leg, eyes watery, looking at the colleague in accusation.

"What are you doing?!"

How did he offend her? He just asked a question. Why does it seem like he shouldn't have asked! Guarding Baoshan and not using it—how foolish is that?

The school representative was more emotionally intelligent than Lan Wei; Su Xi's attitude showed he didn't want to expose Su Yu's abilities. Why it wasn't exposed before? Because it was a private matter of the Su Family.

Now, they are discussing Su Yu's affiliation.

Just now, the higher-ups had roughly investigated Su Yu's life over the past ten-plus years.

When she was three, she inexplicably discovered she wasn't biological, caused a scene at the police station, and returned to her birth mother. Looking at it, it might be a coincidence.

But when Ji Yan didn't even know, Su Yu could know that Su Xi is her relative and even found the company—does that make sense?

She could even say that while riding the subway, she was peeking at the phones of the neighborhood elders, watching what people online did, and doing exactly that.

But the kinship is absurd; she seems, without Su Xi and Ji Yan knowing, firmly believes that Su Xi, who looks very similar to her, is her relative, not her father.

Aside from the three-year-old period, everything else about her was tightly concealed by Su Xi; online there are only normal bits of information, and on the surface they can't find any issue.

So could one reasonably infer that Su Yu understood how to use this technology at three and was highly gifted? Su Xi knows, helping to cover it up?

Not using her ability is simply because there's no legitimate reason to explain the source of those techniques. Su Xi's family is very humane and doesn't want to treat the child as a tool.

The higher-ups filled in the gaps, and the logic is self-consistent.

Now Su Yu has exposed herself; the higher-ups can't stand talent being wasted, and want to cultivate her properly to contribute to the country.

The school representative politely conveyed the higher-ups' meaning: "Student Su Yu has outstanding potential and can be sent to the base for individual training for a period."

She can fight and she has brains; not sending someone like that into the ranks would be their loss! "We will guarantee Su Yu's safety, won't force her to do anything she doesn't want, and parents can rest assured!"

They don't lack fighters, they lack brains. If the base doesn't like her, she can be transferred; if a position doesn't suit, it can be adjusted.

Su Xi and the others gave no answer, remaining silent.

Su Yu's eyes darted around, she said nothing.

【Host, does this mean you want closed training?】

【Probably.】

【Then how do you earn money?】

【Our business could be handed over to Mom, but Mom's burden is heavy. I heard from Grandpa that the company authority is being transferred to her; I wonder if Dad can share some of it?】

Wulongcha swayed up and down, 【No, no, can't give it to your dad! He runs a company, three days hungry nine meals! If your mom doesn't take it, give it to your grandpa or your uncle; it just can't be your dad!】

【Three days hungry nine meals, that's extreme; my dad isn't that useless, right?】

【Anyway I'm not very willing; making money isn't easy!】

Wulongcha looked dejected. The school representative was made a bit awkward by the silence, wondering whether to go or not, asking for a hint, any requests can be raised! "We'll take her back and consider it for a day."

"Of course we can!"

The school representative breathed a sigh of relief; not refusing meant they wanted to agree.

"Here's the person in charge's WeChat; you can discuss any needs with him."

The school representative displayed the other party's QR code; Su Xi scanned it, clicked to add, and the request was approved instantly.

The school representative left happily, and Lan Wei, who had been to the base, patted Su Yu's shoulder, "Good luck!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

The group returned home, and Su Xi got straight to the point, "What are you really thinking?"

Su Yu would get angry, Su Xi could understand, but losing rationality and using this method directly, Su Xi didn't understand.

Su Yu pinched the hem of her clothes and twisted, "Uncle, our family doesn't have stable official connections."

Xu Mingyue frowned, "Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother can help you anytime; the elders of the Xu family also like you a lot."

If Su Yu has any difficulty, she can speak up; the Xu family is always united and won't refuse to help.

Su Yu shook her head, "That's different."

【This kind of relationship is too fragile!】

"When did you get this idea?"

"After Ye Shu's child returned."

【His family can also be considered part of the Ye family, but his child—just hearing the description makes one's eyes go black. If one day we are seen by others in that same light, we will try to politely decline Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi; wouldn't others also try to politely decline us?】

The Xu family's bond is the grandmother. Once the great-grandfather and great-grandmother who love the grandmother leave, will I still be the cherished pet of the Xu family?

Su Yu didn't know, but she was scared. Scared that one day her mother would fall into helplessness again. Scared that one day the great-grandmother would watch the Su family she propped up collapse. Scared that one day Uncle's hard‑won efforts would turn to nothing.

She can't add more leverage for the family? She can! "You could try a different approach; today you were too impulsive."

"A child with emotions is a good child."

【Others think I have a weakness that's easy to control; they'd rather like a genius who shows all seven emotions and six desires, whose emotions are exposed, rather than a genius who only displays ability for profit.】

【I gave them a lever; they'll only think of ways to make me work for them.】

【Besides, I really hate that scumbag Jiang Jizhou! Tearing his fake face open with this method feels so good!】

The whole school won't think he's a good person!

"Uncle, can you quietly release some information? I'm afraid they'll whitewash it and turn the tables! I can check the data right away."

【I don't release his damning info because I'm afraid he'll sue me, but he'll definitely use my withholding it to whitewash himself.】

Lan Wei wasn't wrong; Su Yu studies law precisely because she wants to spread her wings like a great roc on the edge of what the law permits. She must know this world, what is illegal.

"We've already found the victims and got them to speak out."

"Mm-hmm, Uncle, whatever assistance you need, just go negotiate."

【Wulongcha, can we smear another country's security?】

Earlier Wulongcha said anything goes; Su Yu wants to double-check, so Uncle will have more confidence when negotiating with others.

No supplemental update today, sweeties, good night~
