"Yo? Don’t have to go to the State Council meeting today?"
"I said I had something to do and took the day off. I took my annual leave."
Watching the person opposite, who seems to be getting more addicted to the play, really wanting to bring Lu Ping’an, this easy-to-deal-with high-order combat power, into the system to join their bureaucratic games.
So Lu Ping’an followed the procedure, filed a leave note, indicating that he "needed to work out for a year"...
"A year’s holiday, that’s also considered annual leave... well, it’s the same."
But now, with most of the trivial matters out of the way, Lu Ping’an had no mood to continue playing along with them.
He had expressed everything that needed to be said, and left all contact methods. Now, he should come back and do some real work.
"Chris, how about it? Is it possible to achieve..."
After determining the "research direction," Lu Ping’an handed it over to Big Cat to conduct a feasibility study.
In some sense, high-level life series have all dabbled in research. Once they determine their research direction, they too must consider whether it can be actualized.
The feeling Lu Ping’an had at the moment was like a grad student handing over his thesis proposal for his mentor to review, feeling some anticipation, some bumps, but most afraid of it being thrown back at him for another round...
"Fantasy, utter nonsense..."
Okay, Big Cat was still pretty straightforward.
"...If it were someone else, I would say that. But for you, it seems like you’ve already gathered quite a few components, it might be possible..."
This time, Lu Ping’an finally let out a sigh of relief.
The "Decree" he chose this time... no, the "rule archetype" was too outrageous. Even he had no certainty it could be realized, he could only hope Big Cat would help oversee.
"...But the materials needed are too many, and the tier too high. You might not be able to obtain a complete Profession module at fifth-tier, but at sixth-tier, it is probably achievable."
In Big Cat’s voice, there was actually a rare hint of anticipation and envy.
"And the most core ’module’ is actually right in front of you..."
That was precisely the reason why Lu Ping’an had hurried back.
"Fei’er... where’s Qian Xiaomu?"
"She’s over there in the hospital. We’ve arranged a long-term care ward for her grandfather, and she’s been living there during this period."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an was stunned, wondering why the little girl went to live in a hospital.
But after some thought, it seemed natural, if she didn’t want to stay with Big Cat, she’d likely be out and about, naturally staying with her family.
"I’ll go find her... no, it’s not urgent."
Some things can’t be done overnight, and what Lu Ping’an is missing isn’t just a Fei’er.
Lu Ping’an knew that Fei’er probably wouldn’t come back before he left...
"Rebellious period..."
"Say that again, and I won’t help you with the analysis."
Okay, seeing as he needed something from Big Cat, Lu Ping’an promptly shut up.
Having determined the direction and goal, what followed was "stuffing the materials."
But the most crucial "material" still wasn’t in Lu Ping’an’s hands.
"Notify them, getting ready to make a trip to Lin Nu’s Church..."
Actually, Wang Xier had already urged him several times to pay more attention to this matter.
She was really worried that when the time came, Lu Ping’an would escape again, and worst case, it might take another half a year before returning... God knows what the situation would be like by then.
"...All right, we will set off tomorrow."
Lu Ping’an made a phone call, and the person on the other end was even more urgent than him.
"The transformation plan is only half done, right?"
"No problem, if the deal is really settled, we can invite them to see the site, and we can also use video here..... Businessmen can’t bring the actual items anyway, just get the ppt, models, and video materials ready. It’s very likely that the bidding will be done in several rounds, we can bring out the actual items later."
"Hold on, do you mean to say you’re planning to go yourself?"
"Of course, don’t I know you well..... I can’t be at ease leaving everything to you."
"Hey, hey, hey, we’re comrades, I’m very reliable, careful or I’ll sue you for defamation..... I told you, I will seriously strive for it this time."
"I’m not worried about you slacking off, I’m worried that you’ll start something with Lin Nu’s Church again, and then the order will be written off on the spot."
Wang Xier’s words made Lu Ping’an pause, and after thinking about it, he indeed didn’t know how to respond.... If provoked or something unexpected happened, of course, he wouldn’t hold back.
".....don’t hang up on me, I’ll bring the documents right now, let’s check them together first."
It seemed like Wang Xier was really put through the wringer by Lu Ping’an.

She was really in a hurry here, and the fact that Lu Ping’an hadn’t made a move put a lot of pressure on her.
Going over now would most likely mean babysitting in front of a moving car, to keep Lu from impulsively stirring up trouble in a moment’s time.
Hearing this, Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly; it seemed Miss Wang still had some misunderstandings about him.
Back then, the reason he acted so "Battle Wolf" was because he was cornered and had to take the lead and set the rhythm; he was actually quite patient...
"How many are still alive who have openly challenged you?"
"1.....uh, that was an accident."
Having done the mental calculation, Lu Ping’an helplessly conceded.
If really provoked and attacked, how could one not fight back?
In less than half an hour, Wang Xier rushed in, hurriedly bringing along two secretaries and a pile of briefcases.
It looked like they had indeed been waiting for this day for a long time.
"The formal bidding meeting is two months later...but we all understand, it’s actually just a formality. We’re going now to their headquarters, to talk directly to the person in charge there."
Wang Xier, with her hair tied back and light makeup, wore a sharp, tailored business suit but still carried her familiar exotic aura, making Lu Ping’an pause for a moment.
"You probably aren’t prepared with business suits for the meeting, I’ve prepared two sets for you here.....but maybe don’t wear them just yet, being too friendly isn’t good either, we need to put some pressure on them."
And this strong woman, as soon as she arrived, dragged Lu Ping’an straight to work, leaving him exasperated.
He didn’t say another word, just picked up the project tender...
"Uh, you grabbed the wrong one, that’s the project manager’s documents, and there’s also a list of the high-level personnel from the Church and a brief on their personalities."
But Lu Ping’an shook his head; he had looked at the "blueprints" in the tender and then rubbed his chin, thinking for a moment.
"The seventh edition and its improved version, huh? They do indeed offer a better cost-performance ratio..."
The "waterborne model" of the Land Boat was still under intense development and hadn’t reached a final version yet.
As soon as Lu Ping’an spoke up, Wang Xier was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Lu Ping’an to actually understand, and what was more important...
"Did you really go through them?"
"Don’t underestimate me, I am still a third-tier craftsman.... I’ve even dismantled several, remember to reimburse me."
With that, he thought for a moment but then dismissed Wang Xier’s suggestion.
"The transformation plans for the seventh, eighth, and ninth editions were all about cost-effective practicality, but you haven’t considered that they don’t care about money... I think the excessively wasteful plan of the fourth edition is actually pretty good."
"But its stability is unreliable. It would collapse after not too long."
"As long as the data looks good, that’s enough, let’s secure the order first, and then we can change the plan."
"Can it be changed? Can a complete plan be made?"
"Does that matter? We’ll already have the order by then.....if not, let them come and settle scores with me."
