Chapter 3 Shock.
Lu Xia's words made the air freeze. No one expected that she would say such a thing.
In the end, it was the pig-trotter hand of the male management agency who came to his senses first: "Lord Lu Xia, this is against the rules. We don't..."
"I don't care whether you have any rules or not. Anyway, you can't touch or look at the body of my husband. So you can check it if you can, and go back if you can't. I have other things to do and don't have time to waste on such things." Lu Xia looked like her good mood was about to run out.
The faces of several people in the male management agency were a little ugly, but they didn't dare to get angry and say anything. After all, the female master standing in front of them was none other than the notorious Duke Lu Xia.
"Okay, since Lord Lu Xia doesn't want to, then we won't force it. We will give your husband a qualified standard. What do you think?"
"My husband is only worthy of a qualified standard?" Although I don't know what this qualified standard is based on, it is certain that the higher the standard, the better. Inexplicably, Lu Xia's desire to win came.
"Excellent, worthy of an excellent." Pig's trotter immediately changed his words, and was relieved to see Lu Xia satisfied. Sure enough, Duke
Lu Xia was as moody as the rumors said. "Since it's all right, then the housekeeper will see us off!" Lu Xia waved his hand and turned back to the dining table. He ate his breakfast in pieces.
Grace looked at the little female walking in front of him, and the shock in his eyes had not faded.
At that moment, he even suspected that he had hallucinations, otherwise how could he hear that Lu Xia actually refused this embarrassing and humiliating physical examination for him.
Even if this is the treatment that every male who is a husband's servant has to suffer.
He couldn't understand why it was like this.
But the people from the male management agency just left obediently and gave him an excellent score.
"Hurry up and eat, it will be cold later, don't you have to go to work later?"
The man's gaze on her was like a substance, she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to, and even felt that if she didn't say something, Grace would be able to stare holes in her.
She had no intention to think about what Grace was thinking. She just didn't expect that she would refuse
the physical examination of him by the male management agency.
She didn't do it all for Grace. The main reason was that she really couldn't accept it. To put humiliation in public was immoral in her opinion.
"Can I go to work?" Grace said, her voice was a little hoarse and a little tense, as if she hadn't recovered from the original surprise, and she had another surprise. She couldn't bear the multiple shocks, so she looked helpless and nervous.
"Well, if you don't go to work, how can you make money to support the family? Do you still want to eat for free? Work hard. You are only a colonel now. Even my husband must be at the level of an admiral. Work hard!" It's better to focus all your attention on your career, and don't think about how to get favor from her. She really can't use her favor!
Although Lu Xia's words seemed to be disdainful of his low position at first, to Grace's ears, it sounded like the female master allowed him to continue working!
"Thank you, I will definitely work hard and will never tarnish your reputation."
Facing Grace's sudden bow of thanks, Lu Xia nodded pretentiously, finally solving a difficult problem.
After breakfast, Grace went out, and Lu Xia called the housekeeper. In the original owner's memory, she owned three pharmaceutical research companies, but because of poor management, they are now living off their old capital.
As a scientific researcher in charge of the entire pharmaceutical research and development and production chain in the apocalypse, how could Lu Xia allow such a thing to happen!
What's more, as early as when she woke up, she felt that the spiritual spring with healing and purification powers came with her.
Can't the business that was not completed in the apocalypse be carried out in this world?
So Lu Xia asked the housekeeper for detailed information on the three research companies. At present, two of the three research companies have closed down, and only one is barely maintained, but it is also in a state of bankruptcy at any time.
Because the original owner had never managed the institute since she took over from the previous duke, she was not good at this kind of thing. Anyway, for her, even if everything went bankrupt, the family assets were enough for her to live.
So why should she endure the hardship? Isn't it better to enjoy
it? Then she enjoyed herself to death.
The old housekeeper didn't understand why Lu Xia suddenly had the urge to ask about the research institute, but still answered Lu Xia's questions truthfully. He thought Lu Xia would be disappointed, or that he would be too troublesome to directly order someone to take care of it, just like being a hands-off boss as usual. As a result, Lu Xia said: "Prepare the car, go to Institute No. 1."
The old housekeeper was stunned, met Lu Xia's eyes, and quickly came back to his senses and trotted out. It was strange, why did
their !
Just as Lu Xia was on his way to Institute No. 1, Grace had already arrived at the First Military Region.
He just got off the hovercraft and saw his adjutant running over from a long distance: "Colonel, are you okay?"
Everyone in their military region knew about Grace's experience, but they were powerless.
After all, it was his dam, Duke Leslie, who sent Colonel Grace to Duke Luxia.
Under the imperial law, it is permitted for a dam to send an unmarried male cub to someone else, so even if everyone in the military zone feels that it is unfair, there is no way to change it.
They were all prepared to never see Colonel Grace again, but they didn't expect him to appear in the military zone again.
He looked mentally well and didn't seem to be injured. Could it be that the scars were all under his clothes?
Thinking of the rumors about Duke Luxia, the adjutant couldn't hide his worried look.
Grace naturally felt the other party's concern and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"I know." The adjutant forced a smile. How could he not know? They have worked together for so long, and he has long known that Grace is a person who only reports good news and not bad news. Since the colonel doesn't want him to know, he will just pretend that he doesn't know. "Are you coming back this time to handle the resignation procedures?"
Although he was reluctant in his heart, the adjutant knew very well that most males who serve others will lose their freedom, not to mention Colonel Grace, who is still a "defective product".
It would be even more difficult to make a living with Duke Lu Xia.
Grace knew what the other party had misunderstood: "No, I came back to work normally."
"Yeah, I can understand that. Your Excellency, don't be too...what?" The adjutant realized what he had heard belatedly, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide, looking at Grace in disbelief, his voice trembling, but his tone was cautious, "Did you just say that you came back to work? Is your mistress willing to let you come out and continue to work?"
"Yes, she is willing." Grace thought of what Lu Xia said in the morning, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, "Well, she also encouraged me to work hard."
Strive to become an admiral as soon as possible. Of course, he quietly buried this sentence in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
