Chapter 24 Big Shot.
Grace has been quite busy these past few days. If he hadn't had an emergency meeting this morning, he would have waited for Lu Xia to wake up and personally greeted her before leaving.
When they arrived at the conference room, Admiral Snoop hadn't arrived yet. Several people in the conference room were chatting: "Yesterday, the female master and I went to the Fertility Research Institute to submit an application for a cub."
"Really? Your female master is willing to raise a cub so early? That's great. Aren't you going to be a male father soon?"
"Haha, not soon at all? It's still early. My female master wants two female cubs, but you know that even with artificial breeding, the probability of raising female cubs is not high, which is also a worry." "
That's true. Otherwise, the birth rate of female cubs wouldn't be that much lower, but it would be great for us to have a cub."
"That must be." After saying this, the voice settled down. The two of them couldn't help but glance at Grace, who was sitting beside them in silence. Thinking of each other's identity, they looked at each other and didn't continue the topic.
After all, Grace is a "defective" male and because of his status as a husband's servant, he will never be called a male father in this life.
They should not poke his heart here.
However, after listening to their conversation, Grace couldn't help but wonder whether Lu Xia would like a female cub or a male cub. If this happened to an ordinary female, Grace probably wouldn't have such doubts. The empire respects females, and there is no female who doesn't want female cubs.
But when it comes to Lu Xia, he is not so sure. Lu Xia can accept a "defective" like him, so how can she care about the gender of the cub?
He thinks that if he thinks of Lu Xia in that way, he is underestimating the vision of the little female.
"By the way, Kofei has been away for many days, and no one knows where he has gone!"
"Yeah, actually I didn't expect this guy to really resign like this, he's quite courageous."
"You didn't see the look in Admiral Snoop's eyes when he proposed his resignation to him that day. At that time, I thought the Admiral would say something to keep him, but he actually let him go without saying anything."
"Probably I didn't expect that he would be so good at courting death, and he was simply looking for trouble. Grace, are you still in touch with Kofei?"
This last question was asked with the intention of watching a good show.
Grace raised her eyes and glanced at the other party coldly: "If you want, you can contact him yourself."
"Oh, I'm just asking. I thought he would at least tell you when he left. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you can beat him."
Grace didn't respond to him again, but just stared at him coldly. After a while, the other party couldn't stand it anymore and shut up consciously.
It was strange. Grace was just a "defective" male. Where did this oppressive aura come from? He, a gene fusionist, felt a huge pressure, even though he didn't want to admit it.
The inexplicably tense atmosphere in the conference room was broken by the arrival of Admiral Snoop.

Everyone in the institute saw that Lu Xia was carried away by Grace in Courtyard No. 1 that day, so when they saw Lu Xia coming, they all came forward to ask about her health.
"I'm fine now, don't worry."
"I'm glad you're fine. Don't work too hard. Take care of yourself." In their opinion, Duke Lu Xia was really dedicated. There were very few females like her who were so keen on their careers in the empire. At least so far, they had only seen one.
Lu Xia smiled and said, "I know. Thank you for your concern. Okay, everyone go and get busy. I have an appointment today. I won't say much to you. If you have anything, just come to me later."
After that, Lu Xia brought the old housekeeper to the conference room.
At this time, a female with exquisite makeup, Miss Manna, was already sitting inside.
As a rising star in the entertainment industry, Miss Manna is currently a hot topic.
Miss Manna, 23 years old this year, although she was born in a humble family, has a good temperament. Sitting here, she looks elegant and luxurious.
When she saw Lu Xia, she looked at her directly, but did not stand up, and raised her chin slightly: "I didn't expect that the boss of No. 1 Courtyard
is really a female."
When the agency asked her to come over, they mentioned this aspect, otherwise she would not know.
"I'm sorry Miss Manna kept you waiting for a long time." Lu Xia said, sitting down on the chair pulled out by the old housekeeper.
"It didn't take too long." Manna said, picking up the coffee cup in front of her and taking a sip, "I have something to do later, tell me what you want to say."
In fact, she felt that this kind of contract could obviously be negotiated with the agency, but it was unnecessary to ask her to come.
If the other party was not also a female, she would not agree.
"Ms. Manna, how much do you know about our product?" Lu Xia did not take the contempt in her eyes to heart. After all, the females in this world are all the kind of people who look down on others, and there are few smart people.
"Isn't your product just an ordinary skin care product? What else do you need to know?" She has endorsed several such beauty products, and they are all pretty much the same. What's new about them? Why do you need to know more about them? They are not big brands.
"That means you don't know anything. Our beauty cream has the main effect of scar removal and whitening. It has significant efficacy and a wide range of target groups. We asked Miss Manna to endorse it because we value Miss Manna's own traffic, youth and vitality, and can provide us with some young customer groups..." Lu Xia stopped here because he noticed that Manna was distracted and didn't know what she was thinking. He tapped the table lightly and called, "Ms. Manna, are you listening?"
"Ah, what?" Manna came back to her senses when her name was suddenly called, and looked at Lu Xia with a puzzled look, obviously not hearing what Lu Xia said just now.
The old housekeeper standing beside Lu Xia frowned unconsciously.
It seems that the fast-growing traffic star has not yet settled down her mentality.
Seeing this, Lu Xia leaned back in his chair: "It seems that Miss Manna is not very concerned about the endorsement of our No. 1 Courtyard, so we won't force her. I'm bothering you to make this trip today, housekeeper, send her out."
Hearing this, Manna's face finally showed a little panic: "What do you mean, you tossed me all the way here, and now you say you don't need it?"
"Miss Manna, we will contact your agency for the rest of the matter. Now I'll send you away." The old housekeeper bowed slightly respectfully and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture towards the door. The meaning is self-evident. At this time, Lu Xia had turned around and returned to the office next door, and didn't even think about explaining anything to Manna.
There are many artists in the entertainment industry, and she really doesn't lack this one.
