She still remembered the rules of the manor. After the glass factory started operating, Qu Xiaodie set a rule that any guards outside who wanted to enter the manor had to work for more than a year and pass an assessment before they could come in.

So she didn't make any high demands.

As Qu Xiaodie's personal assistant, this was the first time she had asked her to ask for a position for her lover. How could Qu Xiaodie bear to refuse? So she agreed, but still gave her a word of advice.

"The three Chen brothers have only been here for a month or so. You don't know their identities, so don't jump in headfirst."

Since you're all staying at the resort anyway, there's plenty of time; we can get to know each other gradually.

But Hongmei, deeply in love, wouldn't listen to any of this. She nodded and went to tell the Chen brothers the good news.

Upon hearing this, the three Chen brothers immediately expressed their deepest gratitude.

Chen Da even went so far as to express his loyalty to Dongmei in front of her.

"Dongmei, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and try to pass the assessment to get into the mountain villa, so that I can be with you every day."

Dongmei was overjoyed and cheered him on, but after Dongmei left, Chen Da frowned.

A year from now, by then that mysterious weapon will probably be widely available in all the armies of the Great Qi. What chance will they have then?

The chance to break the deadlock lies in obtaining the blueprints for that mysterious weapon in a short period of time, or acquiring a physical copy, and quickly manufacturing a batch. Before the Great Qi and the surrounding countries can react, they can launch a surprise attack to seize territory. Once they have taken it, it will be difficult to take it back.

But so far, he hasn't even entered the villa. It seems we need to increase the stakes.
