Zhou Qingru rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Is this the kind of thing you can just ask?"

"What if it involves any confidentiality issues? Do you want to get Yongchang killed?"

Lu Guoqing's face stiffened, and he slowly withdrew his hand: "Then... are we just going to wait like this?"

Just as the two were struggling with their decision, a phone rang.

It's Zhou Qingru's phone.

Zhou Qingru's expression shifted slightly, and she quickly bent down to grab her phone from the coffee table.

The moment Zhou Qingru saw the caller ID, an excited smile spread across her face: "It's Yongchang calling!"

Lu Guoqing's eyes flickered, and he immediately urged in a low voice, "Answer it! Hurry up and answer it!"

Zhou Qingru nodded repeatedly and hurriedly answered the phone.

"mom?"

As soon as I turned on speakerphone, I heard Lü Yongchang's voice on the phone.

"Yongchang, what's that thing on the news in Xia Country? What kind of nuclear fusion are you working on now?!"

Before Zhou Qingru could speak, Lü Guoqing, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to ask.

"Forehead……"

There was a hint of hesitation in Lü Yongchang's voice.

Zhou Qingru glared at Lü Guoqing and quickly added, "Yongchang, don't listen to your dad! If it involves any confidentiality regulations, you don't need to tell us!"

A soft chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "It's not about keeping it a secret, it's just that I didn't expect this to make the news in China..."

"Yes, I am indeed researching controlled nuclear fusion technology."

"So you're now the chief engineer of China's controlled nuclear fusion project?!"

Lu Guoqing's question once again startled Lu Yongchang.

Unexpectedly, the news outlets in Xia State leaked this information!

However, this was nothing to be ashamed of, and Lü Yongchang readily admitted it.

Lu Guoqing and Zhou Qingru looked at each other for a long time before Zhou Qingru slowly said, "Yongchang... remember to take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang, on the other end of the phone, felt a lump in his throat and choked up for a moment.

"Um."
