Chapter 154 Heard.
Recently, the second generation of hair growth liquid and beauty cream developed by the No. 1 Courtyard is nearing completion. The publicity department has begun to make efforts. Everyone has high expectations for the second generation of hair growth liquid and beauty cream.
With the 300 million funds given by the Dafelno family, it is enough for them to carry out subsequent research and development and publicity.
The No. 2 Courtyard has never stopped researching gene fusion preparations. Although it cannot be officially sold, it is still increasing the probability of gene fusion preparations. So far, the probability has increased from 50% to 65%. Of course, Lu Xia is not going to make this news public.
But most of the volunteers have successfully activated the animal genes in their bodies and become gene fusionists.
This news still spread quietly among the people, but most people regarded this news as a rumor and did not believe it.
After all, in the minds of many people, it is very difficult to become a gene fusionist. Otherwise, there would not be so many defective males in the empire.
Deep-rooted ideas cannot be changed and eliminated overnight.
Maybe one day, we will need to officially tell everyone that the gene fusion preparation can 100% activate the beast gene in males to change all this, but it is definitely not now.
As for the research on the ice spirit gene, it is faster than Lu Xia imagined. In essence, it is similar to the fire spirit gene. With the fire spirit gene as a foundation, the research and development speed of the ice spirit gene is very rapid, and the acceptance of the experimental subjects is also very high. However, for safety reasons, Lu Xia asked the researchers to increase the number of experimental subjects and make sure to test the ice spirit gene more safely. When it
was almost time to get off work, Lu Xia suddenly received a voice invitation from Mrs. Dana: "Xia Xia, do you have time to come out for a drink together?"
Faced with the sudden invitation, Lu Xia was a little surprised, but she did not refuse. After asking for the address, Lu Xia sent a message to the old housekeeper and Smelian, informing them that she would be home later today and they didn't need to prepare her dinner. She wanted to have dinner with Mrs. Dana.
When she arrived at the place, it was a very stylish restaurant. Mrs. Dana was already waiting for her in the box. Under the guidance of the waiter, Lu Xia entered the box. Mrs. Dana saw her and smiled and waved.
Lu Xia approached and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I just arrived too. I was afraid you were not familiar with this place, so I came a little early. Please sit down. I just ordered some specialties here. See if you have anything to add." Mrs. Dana handed her the menu, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Lu Xia took it with a smile, opened it and took a look, ordered another fruit salad, and then returned the menu to the waiter.
She looked at the decoration of the box. The decoration here was somewhat classical and looked very distinctive. Through the French windows next to it, she could clearly see the musical being performed outside.
Most of the people who came here to eat and watch were females.
Mrs. Dana noticed her gaze on the musical and explained with a smile: "I often come here to sit. The musicals here are pretty good, and the atmosphere is great. I came here today thinking you might have time, so I invited you. Didn't it interfere with your work?"
Lu Xia smiled and replied: "How could it be? It's time to get off work now. I haven't relaxed for a long time. I have to thank Mrs. Dana for inviting me, otherwise I wouldn't know there is such a good place."
The two ate and talked, and time passed quickly. The soft music in the room made people relax. Lu Xia really had no interest in musicals. He glanced at it and left. Attention shifted away, at most she just thought their clothes were gorgeous. Lady Dana seemed to notice this, but she didn't say much, just asked: "What is your impression of Cecil, Xia Xia, I hope to hear the truth from you."
Lu Xia knew that Lady Dana must have other things to invite her, but she didn't expect it to be about Cecil. She was slightly stunned, and after a moment of silence, she said: "I don't know much about Cecil, but he should be a good male."
After all, Lady Dana is a female with principles and bottom line, and the males she raises should not be too bad. "
Madam Dana knew that Cecil had only been a person of interest to Duke Luxia for the past few months.
She thought Cecil was smart, but he turned out to be a fool.
She heard that Smellian had already moved into Duke Luxia's master bedroom, but Cecil had made no progress. It would be a lie to say that she was not anxious, otherwise she would not have invited Luxia today.
"Cecil may not be flexible in terms of feelings, please understand, Your Excellency the Duke."
Realizing what Lady Dana meant, Lu Xia smiled faintly: "In fact, I think that matters of love still depend on fate. Forcing things is always inharmonious. Besides, Cecil is still young, so there is no need to arrange a marriage so early. When he is older, he can meet a female he likes. If that female also likes him, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Lady Dana was not sure what Lu Xia meant by this, so she asked directly: "Will you help Cecil?"
"If Cecil really meets someone, of course I am willing. Lady Dana, don't you think it is a very lucky thing to meet the person you love?"
Lady Dana understood that Lu Xia might not really have that intention towards Cecil, but simply kept him in the Duke's Mansion and did not dissolve the relationship with him. Maybe it was just not appropriate now, or maybe he was worried that dissolving the relationship with Cecil would have a bad impact on Cecil, and he didn't go that far for her sake.
She had never met a female who could consider so much for a male.
She felt that if Cecil could not be liked by Duke Luxia, it would be a loss for Cecil.
She suddenly changed her mind and felt that Cecil might still have a chance if he stayed with Duke Luxia. After all, Smelian was the best example, wasn't he?
Lady Dana smiled and did not continue the topic. When the performance ended, the party between Luxia and Lady Dana also ended. The two separated outside the restaurant. Luxia thanked Lady Dana for the invitation again: "It was a pleasant day today. I will treat you to dinner another day."
Lady Dana did not refuse and smiled and said: "Okay."
After watching Luxia leave, Lady Dana looked at Cecil who walked out of the shadows.
"Did you hear everything?"
Cecil leaned against the wall and nodded with a lonely look.
Seeing his expression, Lady Dana was a little disgusted: "It's too early for you to give up now. If Smellian can do it, why can't you?"
Cecil retorted: "I'm not ready to give up. If Smellian can do it, I can do it too. Mother doesn't have to worry about my affairs anymore. I know what I should do."
In the past, his thinking was too shallow and he missed many opportunities, but now he has figured it out, and he won't do that again.
Hearing this, Lady Dana stared at him for a while, as if to make sure whether what he said was true: "You'd better think it through and do what you say, otherwise I will look down on you."
