Chapter 538 Undercurrents at the Dinner Table
Lin Duo not only thought so, but also whispered that he should drag Alex into the water as well.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Alex was about to speak out a rebuttal, but when he turned his head and met Sheng Jiu's expectant and shining eyes, he silently lowered his head again, his ears slightly red, and replied awkwardly: "...I can do it too."
Alex told himself: He just wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, and any way he did was right.
Without Sheng Jiu, he wouldn't be where he is today.
In order to repay the favor, it is reasonable to work harder.
He really had no other thoughts.
…
Looking at Alex's slightly red ears, Lin Duo's expression became a little colder.
He just knew it!
No one can resist the charm of a small boss.
Sheng Jiu:.
Don't do this!
I'm embarrassed!
Ares also noticed that Alex's emotions, or rather his reactions, were not right.
Could it be that he also has feelings for Xiaojiu...?
Although Ares thought this was normal.
Whether it is because of the fledgling effect or the personal charm gained from daily interactions.
It is normal that the other party would be attracted to Sheng Jiu.
But why should you, a young man who needs someone to take care of your daily eating and drinking, have the right?
Noticing Ares's unfriendly gaze, Alex looked up in confusion, with a slightly provocative look.
The corners of Ares' lips that were raised slightly dropped.
I silently commented in my heart: What an impatient young man.
Little did he know that Alex, whose five senses were equally sharp, had already sensed his hostility, and even silently commented in his heart: An old man over fifty years old might even have the air of an old man.
Ares: ???
There were undercurrents at the dinner table, and Sheng Jiu was no fool, so it was impossible for him not to notice anything.
Lin Duo also reacted, but he didn't want to make things difficult for Sheng Jiu.
How they pursue, how they fight or compete internally is their business.
We can’t cause Sheng Jiu any more trouble because of these things.
Therefore, Lin Duo quickly suggested: "I will give it a try tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we can find someone else. After all, it's an ownerless creature in the wild, so we should take the initiative."
"I think the quality of the mineral should be good."
…
In the following time, Lin Duo talked in detail about the process of his discovery of the mineral and his investigation of the mineral.
His words attracted Sheng Jiu's full attention.
Ares and Alex exchanged glances for a long time before finally reacting and looking back...
Lin Duo overtook on the curve and stole all the limelight.
Two people:...!
Scheming man!
The two people who lost the initiative did not lose their composure, so they stopped talking nonsense and just ate their food honestly.
After dinner, Ares discussed the next tactical arrangements with the Necromancer and General Lin.
Recently, foreign countries have been defeated one after another, and Xiacheng is in a good momentum.
The guards of Xiacheng are now extremely ambitious, and they are no longer just thinking about defending the city.
They even wanted to drive each other out and drive them to a farther place!
Ares agreed with General Lin's proposal.
However, he had another suggestion: "My personal opinion is that you can try to capture one or two leaders of small tribes. No one knows the situation inside the foreign countries better than them. This is the kind of intelligence we need most."
"It's not enough to just rush to further places. We also need to know where they hide on a daily basis, where we can't see them."
"We must also clear these places so that they no longer have the opportunity to hide in these places and can only migrate to further places."
"In fact, destroying the country is the best method, but now our military strength is limited, so we can only settle for the next best thing."
"We can recruit them, but you also said that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Even if we subdue them temporarily, it will be very troublesome to manage them afterwards. We also need to be on guard against their rebellion at any time."
…
Sheng Jiu listened for a while, and he understood some of it but not some of it.
She no longer made things difficult for herself, pulled Lin Duo over, and began to study the diamond mineral resources.
Sheng Jiu himself has a general opinion of diamonds and has no interest in collecting them.
However, valuable things are still worth her effort.
So, dig it back and let the system watch it sell.
Although in Sheng Jiu's eyes, diamonds are just expensive stones.
However, it also has its own unique advantages and uses in fields such as quantum computing and electronic devices.
Therefore, it cannot be treated as a collectible and sold abroad like Melo Pearls.
These still have to stay in the country.
After figuring out the subsequent uses of diamonds, Sheng Jiu began to look for information with Lin Duo, wanting to see what matters needing attention in diamond mining, as well as the subsequent extraction and processing of diamonds.
Alex wanted to join in many times, but never found the opportunity, and finally could only step aside in frustration.
Boll came over quietly and gently bumped him with his arm: "You kid, I didn't see that you were hiding such thoughts."
Alex didn't get angry when he was bumped by Bol, but said a little dejectedly: "The young boss is very good, it's normal to like her."
After that, Alex was a little curious: "Do you like the boss?"
He felt that Boll was a real character as he could resist temptation!
Bol rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Don't worship me, I'm just a legend."
Alex, who's also been surfing like crazy lately, rolled his eyes and imitated him: "Pah, such an old joke! You can't even find it online, right?"
Paul was amused by him. After Alex finished complaining, he came closer and said, "You really don't like the boss?"
Bol looked at him speechlessly: "There are many kinds of love, don't be so superficial, okay?"
Sometimes, Boll also felt that he was too rational.
Are you saying that you don’t like Sheng Jiu or don’t appreciate Sheng Jiu?
That's impossible.
But Boll rationally knew that the possibility of success between them was almost zero.
Therefore, he controlled his reason and behavior very well and did not let this appreciation change its meaning or lose its sense of proportion.
Boll feels that this kind of relationship is very good now.
Many times, many relationships will not get closer just because you want them to.
If we think about it pessimistically, what if we can't get closer to this step and instead we retreat?
So, it's good like this now.
At least Boll was satisfied.
Boll didn't go into detail, just mentioned it vaguely.
After listening to this, Alex was thoughtful.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Boer bumped him again: "What are you thinking about?"
Alex replied bluntly: "I think you're stupid. If you like her, just go after her. Don't you want to be a gigolo?"
Bol was shocked by his bold remarks and looked at him in horror, fearing that this fool would do something out of control. Bol hurriedly brought up the example of being exiled three thousand miles before and tried to persuade Alex.
Don’t climb into bed just because you want to be a gigolo!
