Chapter 291 Negotiating Terms
Lin Youqian said with a calm expression and nonchalantly.
"During this operation, they blended in with the military combat and remained unexposed. In the future, unless there are major incidents, they will be ordinary civilians and will be even less likely to be exposed."
"You can rest assured about my character. I will never do anything that harms the motherland, society, or the people."
"I support people to protect the Shanglin Group and the Lin family's ancestral heritage. I have no other intentions."
Old man Li has been dealing with Lin Youqian for so many years, so he is naturally confident in his character.
But I am really worried about his bad temper.
This guy is first-rate in military research, but he's also first-rate in getting into trouble.
On weekdays, it was easy to clean up his mess when he had a small fight, but now it was such a big deal, it was really overwhelming.
But if I don't help, this kid will probably use this incident with Qi Xu to completely let go, leave the army, and abandon all his skills.
"Okay, I'll find a way for you!"
"But you have to continue going to the laboratory and complete the task."
Although Lin Youqian is unruly, he has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else when it comes to scientific research.
Even if Old Man Li doesn't agree, he will complete this last experimental project before leaving.
"Yes! This project will probably be completed in about five months. By then, I will hand over the work on hand and then transfer to another job."
After spending all this time trying to solve such a big problem for him, he actually wants to change his career.
Then it would be a waste to agree to this condition.
"You kid, why are you so stubborn? I helped you so much, and you're just using me as an experiment?"
Lin Youqian asked him back. "If you hadn't plotted against my wife, got her kidnapped, and forced me to expose my power, where would all these problems come from?"
"Originally, my people are working hard in their own positions and living a peaceful and happy life. Do they need your help?"
"You stabbed me in the back, then came back to mend it for me, and you think you're doing me a favor? Do I owe you a huge favor?"
After all, it was really them who caused this incident.
"Since you like researching weapons so much, can't you continue to stay in the team?"
Lin Youqian's dream is indeed to become a world-class weapons scientist. But now that he has a family, he can't just focus on his dream; he also has to take care of his wife and family.
"What will happen to my wife if I stay on the team? What will happen to Shanglin Group? I can't just stay in the lab every day and let her live a life of widowhood, right?"
This is indeed a difficult problem.
Military experimental bases are a national security secret. During the experiment, soldiers inside are not allowed to leave, and family members outside are not allowed to enter. Not even phone calls or video calls are allowed. Once a project is launched, it can take at least six months, and at most two to three years.
With the couple separated by distance, the military wife is really no different from a widow.
"I'll arrange a special military doctor position for your wife and have her stay at the base with you. Is that okay?"
Lin Youqian felt satisfied, but he still had to ask Qi Xu whether he was willing.
"You'll have to ask my wife about this and see what she thinks."
"She wants to have a child, so she'll stay for two more years at most. The lab is exposed to radiation and isn't suitable for conceiving a baby. The commander should be well aware of this."
It was precisely because Lin Youqian had just come out of the laboratory and was afraid that the tadpole index in his body would not meet the standard, so he had been taking medicine these days and not letting Qi Xuhuai.
If an unhealthy baby is born, that would be the biggest disaster.
The physical examination doctor said that soldiers who come out of the laboratory need to rest for at least three months before they can prepare for pregnancy.
Old man Li sighed bitterly. There was really no solution to this problem.
It's natural for a couple to want a child. Soldiers are human beings too, so who doesn't want a happy family with children?
What's more, Lin Youqian is an only child, and his family has such a huge business empire to inherit. The elders are eager for a grandson, and they must have been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Once you finish this project, come back. I'll find a suitable successor to lead the field experiments in the future."
"You stay at the institute and focus on the research project. As for the implementation, I'll go to the Military Engineering College and pick out a few top talents to be your apprentices."
"By then, you just need to control the core technology well."
As long as he wasn't confined to the lab year-round, Lin Youqian would definitely stay. Contributing to the nation's scientific research was his lifelong dream.
In fact, the army has humane considerations for the personal marriage and physical health issues of military scientific research officers.
Generally, unmarried and childless military officers over the age of 30 will not be assigned experimental projects all year round.
They are either young men who have just graduated, or older cadres who are over 40 years old and have families and children.
It is because Lin Youqian is too outstanding, and those projects were all innovatively developed by him, so he is the only one who can do it, so old man Li is reluctant to let him go.
"Okay. If that's the case, I'll do some more ideological work on my wife. She's a person who cares about the overall situation, understands the big picture, and has ideological and political awareness. She should support me."
After the terms were agreed upon, Old Man Li told us about his violation of military regulations and discipline.
"This time, you broke out of the laboratory, causing significant damage to the troops and extremely negative impact. You must be severely punished to convince the public."
"It just so happens that your wife discovered the enemy's biological and chemical weapons base and made a special contribution. The country will definitely give her an honor when the time comes."
"I'll negotiate for you, and we'll offset your merits and demerits. I'll see if I can get your punishment erased."
Lin Youqian didn't care about the punishment or demotion. What he feared was that he would be put in solitary confinement for a year or two and unable to see his wife. That would be the worst.
"Thanks a lot, old man!"
It was rare for Old Man Li to finally hear him say thank you.
"I don't deserve your gratitude, kid. I'll be thankful if you don't suck the blood out of my old bones!"
Lin Youqian snorted arrogantly. "Tsk, who sucked your blood? If I had to, I'd suck my wife's blood!"
This guy keeps talking about wife, wife, wife, which gives old man Li goosebumps.
"Okay, I won't disturb you from being intimate with your wife anymore! You have until 8 o'clock tomorrow to return to the team!"
Lin Youqian raised his hand and saluted with a standard military salute. "Got it!"
In order to prevent this petty-minded Bullet Head from thinking too much, Old Man Li added another explanation.
"Because it's difficult to deal with your unauthorized departure from the laboratory, I'll credit Lu Shixu with all the credit for this battle. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Youqian naturally had no objection. In fact, he had already discussed everything with Lu Shixu.
But he couldn't let others know that he and Lu Shixu had a close relationship because their identities were both very important and would easily arouse the fear of their superiors and be misunderstood as a threat.
So he pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Humph! That kid got a good deal!"
