Leader Qu and Dai Xueyi were both there, discussing important matters. These were matters that Dai Donglin shouldn't be listening to, but since Dai Donglin was also involved in these matters, they discussed them in Dai Donglin's office. Who knew that Chu Yu would overhear them?
Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious.
Leader Qu smiled and said, "The young couple has a very good relationship. Donglin only left for a short while, and they came to see you?"
Chu Yu knew that the leaders in the military region liked to tease people. "Sir, it's not like that. He forgot to bring his documents, and I was afraid he would need them urgently, so I brought them to him. Actually, I wish I didn't see him every day! It would be so peaceful!"
Leader Qu laughed, "Xueyi, your wife is something else! Most people would run away in fear at the sight of me, but she's not afraid at all!"
Chu Yu smiled. This was a very high-ranking leader. It wasn't that Chu Yu wasn't afraid, but she felt there was no need to treat leaders like monsters. Judging from their conversation, they seemed to be discussing expenses.
Chu Yu apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen, it was just a coincidence."
"What did you hear?" Leader Qu asked.
Dai Donglin was a little nervous. He didn't want to involve Chu Yu in work-related matters, as they all involved confidential information, and it wouldn't be good for Chu Yu, who was in business, to get involved.
He was also afraid that Chu Yu's answer would be inappropriate and upset the leader.
Chu Yu thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "We don't have enough money. If we don't have money to develop our military, we'll fall behind and be vulnerable to attack!"
Leader Qu glanced at Chu Yu. This girl was quite outspoken, having memorized everything. However, what kind of people hadn't the Party leaders seen? He didn't like her trying to be cunning, so it was better for her to tell him the truth.
"That's right, but these kinds of things have been reported in the news, it's not a big secret, so don't be nervous!"
Chu Yu wasn't nervous, but she hadn't expected the situation to be so serious.
"Are we really out of money? Are our expenses really that low?"
Dai Xueyi glanced at Chu Yu, feeling that Chu Yu had overstepped her bounds, but since Leader Qu hadn't spoken, Dai Xueyi could only stand by and watch silently. Dai Xueyi's rank was slightly lower than Leader Qu's, and besides, Leader Qu was in charge of this area, not in the same system as Dai Xueyi.
Leader Qu sighed, “Yes, young lady, our expenditures account for a very small percentage of our economy. Let me give you an example. Our neighboring island nation, how many people and how much land does that country have? Their military expenditures are five or six times ours, easily reaching tens of billions of US dollars! And us? We also have tens of billions, only the unit isn't US dollars, but Chinese yuan! We, such a large country, can't compare to that tiny island nation! Tell me, is our fist strong enough? Do we have a voice in the international arena? Sometimes it's not that you want to endure it, but that you have no choice but to endure it!”
Leader Qu's words deeply moved Chu Yu. Chu Yu had to admit that China was still in its early stages and many areas were lagging behind. Otherwise, Chu Yu would have been so ambitious to revitalize China!
Chu Yu has now established Hualai Film Company and entered Hollywood to make money, but she also wants to have a voice. She's had enough of being controlled by the United States and having to endure everything! She wants to become the world's richest woman and make the world listen to China!
Chu Yu snorted indignantly:
"Our country should spend more money on this."
“You’re right, I also want to spend more money, but young lady, we don’t have any. We’re currently developing missiles and warships, which cost tens of millions each time. Where are we going to get the money? If I could, I’d beg on the streets! I’d like to squeeze a dollar out of every Chinese person’s pocket, and that would amount to a billion! But I can’t!”
As Leader Qu spoke, he found it funny himself. He finished his tea and Dai Xueyi poured him more water. Chu Yu quickly took the cup from Dai Xueyi.
Dai Donglin, standing to the side, blinked so hard his eyes almost cramped, wishing Chu Yu would find an excuse to leave.
She, on the other hand, wasn't afraid of Boss Qu at all, and even fawned over him by pouring him water!
Dai Donglin was truly impressed!
Chu Yu was indeed quite at ease. She had nothing to be uncomfortable about, so why should she be afraid of her boss? Chu Yu had never been afraid of anyone in her life. Her boss was someone's family, someone's husband, someone's father, wasn't he? As long as Chu Yu treated Boss Qu as her own father, she wouldn't feel afraid at all.
Of course, it's not about treating him like your father, but just like a close friend.
Chu Yu poured tea for Boss Qu. Boss Qu was no ordinary person; everything he used had to be kept under surveillance. As a result, everyone in the office kept an eye on Chu Yu, fearing that she might poison Boss Qu!
Chu Yu was both amused and exasperated, but she could understand.
Chu Yu poured tea for Leader Qu. The water was a little hot, and she smiled and said, "Leader, please be careful not to burn your mouth!"
Leader Qu laughed and said, "Dai Xueyi, your daughter-in-law is quite interesting! I'd only heard you mention her before, but I didn't expect her to be so outstanding. She's beautiful, has a great temperament, and is a perfect match for Donglin. Most importantly, she's not afraid of people and acts with great confidence. I think she's wonderful!"
Chu Yu is the type to take advantage of any situation. Regardless of whether Leader Qu's praise for her is genuine or not, she takes it all as genuine.
Chu Yu, thinking about what Leader Qu had just said, became even more indignant. "Leader, it's one thing for our expenditures to be lower than those of the United States, but how can we fall behind these neighbors? If our expenditures are insufficient and our weapons are not advanced enough, our neighbors will cause trouble! Moreover, these neighbors are all on good terms with the United States, so our situation is really not good!"
"You're right, I also want to develop new missiles, but we're back to square one, I don't have the money..." the leader said with a smile, his face full of loving eyes.
