Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu and Lin Shu both gave Lin Mo meaningful glances, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Who is Li Hongxiang?
As the chief of the Senate, Li Hongxiang could fully represent the Senate. Although major decisions were made by multiple elders, Li Hongxiang's words could influence the direction of the proceedings.
What conditions should be set for this existence?
You are so brave!
Lin Mo naturally noticed the subtle hints in his grandmother's and mother's eyes, and smiled calmly, "Grandma, Mom, you don't need to give me those looks. I developed the MY battery technology, and since it's going to be handed over, isn't it normal for me to make some demands?"
Li Hongxiang stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right, Madam Xu, Miss Lin, Lin Mo is absolutely right, he has the right to make demands."
He looked at the composed young man opposite him, his admiration undisguised. "Lin Mo, just name your conditions. As long as they aren't too unreasonable, I can agree to them on behalf of the Elders' Council."
"Of course it won't be too excessive."
Lin Mo gave Li Hongxiang a heads-up about his sincere attitude, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Lin Yi in the main seat.
"Chief Li, what do you think about my maternal grandfather joining the Elders' Council?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Whether it was Li Hongxiang, Lin Yi, or anyone else, upon hearing Lin Mo's condition, their eyes widened in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
Lin Yi was the first to come to his senses and said, "Xiao Mo, if you're going to make a condition, make it properly. Don't make such an outrageous one."
Lin Mo scratched his head. "Is it outrageous?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Hongxiang across from him, seemingly casually, and muttered to himself, "I don't think this condition is outrageous."
Li Hongxiang opened his mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He truly hadn't expected Lin Mo to propose such a condition, asking Lin Yi to join the Elders' Council.
This……
"Chief Li, what do you think of these terms?"
"cough!"
Li Hongxiang coughed lightly, "Lin Mo, your condition is a bit troublesome. I can't make the decision on my own. The addition of new members to the Elder Council has a very big impact. Such a major matter must be voted on by all the elders of the Elder Council. Only if the vote passes can your grandfather join the Elder Council."
“If you really want your grandfather to join the Senate, I can have an online video conference with the members of the Senate right now to discuss it. However, I must warn you that due to your grandfather’s special status, the success rate of this is not high.”
Despite Li Hongxiang's lengthy explanation, Lin Mo discerned a certain attitude in his words.
Not too possible!
Lin Mo was not surprised by this situation.
After all, this is the Elders' Council!
The three super-grade families already hold a rather extraordinary position in the Xia Kingdom. If the head of the Lin family, one of the three super-grade families, were to become a member of the Elders' Council, the Lin family's status and influence would be further amplified.
This is not a good thing for the Senate.
"Chief Li, is the offer not strong enough?"
Li Hongxiang was taken aback by the question, a look of confusion crossing his aged face. "Not enough weights?"
Lin Mo chuckled and explained, "MY's battery technology isn't enough to meet the conditions I want. Actually, I can add more."
Li Hongxiang's eyes gleamed. "Increase the stakes? How? Explain clearly."
Lin Mo smiled confidently, "Let's put it this way, Chief Li. I can sign a betting agreement with the Elders' Council. Within a year, I will develop three more patented technologies that are no less advanced than MY Battery Technology and donate them to the Elders' Council free of charge. If I can do that, I will let my grandfather join the Elders' Council."
Li Hongxiang looked astonished. "What if it can't be done?"
It's no exaggeration to say that MY's battery technology could completely influence the current global landscape.
To develop three patents within a year that are no less advanced than MY battery technology is such a fantastical thing that, frankly, Li Hongxiang thinks it is unlikely.
Lin Mo answered without hesitation, "If you can't do that, then my condition is null and void, how about that?"
Three patents that are no less advanced than MY battery technology—this is what he meant by "adding weight."
Li Hongxiang's face clearly showed that he was interested.
If he had some hesitation about exchanging MY battery technology for Lin Yi's membership in the Elders' Council, then Lin Mo's subsequent additional investment made his hesitation disappear instantly.
"Are you sure?"
Li Hongxiang looked at Lin Mo with complicated emotions in his eyes and said bluntly, "To be honest, I don't think you can do it. No matter how talented you are, you are still human. What you are talking about is completely beyond the scope of human ability."
Lin Mo pursed his thin lips. "Just do your best and leave the rest to fate."
"Hahaha!"
Li Hongxiang slapped his thigh and said, "Well said. Wait a moment, I'll go out for a bit. I can't make this decision on my own."
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Of course, Chief Li, please."
Li Hongxiang walked out of the restaurant without turning his head.
Lin Yi asked urgently, "Xiao Mo, what do you mean by this? Why do you want me to join the Elders' Council?"
Lin Mo smiled and asked in return, "Grandpa, you seem a little unwilling? In that case, I'll withdraw the conditions I just proposed when Chief Li returns."
Lin Yi quickly waved his hand, "No, that's not what I meant."
Don't want to join the Elders' Council?
What an international joke!
If one could join the Elders' Council, who wouldn't want to?
The Elders' Council represents the highest center of power in the Xia Kingdom. Even though the three super-grade families have a great influence, they are still under the leadership of the Elders' Council.
If Lin Yi, as the head of the Lin family, were to join the Elders' Council, it would undoubtedly bring unimaginable benefits to the future development of the Lin family.
Lin Shu forced a smile, her gaze towards her son filled with an extremely complex mix of emotions. She murmured, "Is this even possible? This kid..."
Before her son and Li Hongxiang made their demands, she had considered many possibilities, but she never expected her son to make such a demand.
In terms of vision, she was completely outclassed by her son.
Is this still her eldest son?
so amazing!
Xu Yanshu gasped, only now regaining her senses. "Xiao Mo, are you really only eighteen?"
"Grandma, it's the real deal."
Lin Mo winked half-jokingly, "My grandson just turned eighteen this year, he's still just a child."
Lin Xue spat lightly, "Child? How shameless! Your behavior is that of a cunning old fox. How dare you make such a demanding condition? You must have a death wish."
Hearing Lin Xue's complaints, Lin Mo didn't take them to heart and said with a smile, "Since Chief Li asked me to set conditions, I naturally have to broaden my horizons."
Lin Yi sighed deeply, "Xiao Mo, aren't you afraid that Chief Li will reject you?"
"Grandpa, Chief Li can't refuse."
"why?"
"Because I offered enough incentives."
Lin Mo's smile exuded a faint confidence. "Put yourself in Chief Li's shoes. If I were Chief Li, I would have no way to refuse such a condition, and there would be no reason for me to refuse."
He raised his right hand slightly, extending four fingers. "MY battery technology, plus three other patented technologies of the same level, these four technologies can make Xia Guo the most powerful country in the world in a very short time. No one could refuse such a good thing."
Xu Yanshu said worriedly, "But scientific research is never that easy. Although you have developed the MY battery technology, this kind of thing involves a lot of luck..."
Before Grandma could finish speaking, Lin Mo laughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry. Have some faith in me. The worst outcome is that Grandpa doesn't join the Elders' Council, isn't it?"
Xu Yanshu was taken aback, then laughed, "You child...you're so insightful!"
After praising her grandson, she couldn't help but look at her eldest daughter beside her, "Xiao Shu, you really raised a good son!"
Lin Shu felt ashamed of her mother's praise and her face flushed. She turned her head away, looking a little awkward. "Um... Mom, Xiao Mo's growth to where he is today is mostly due to his own efforts. I only played a supporting role at most."
Lin Xue chuckled softly, "Sister Shu, why didn't you take all the credit this time?"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at Lin Xue, annoyed. "I have a sense of shame."
Those three words brought smiles to the faces of the people at the table.
Seeing that An Youyu hadn't participated in the conversation at all, Lin Mo took her small hand under the table and asked, "Little Yu'er, why aren't you saying anything?"
An Youyu tilted her head, "What did you say?"
Her adorable demeanor brought a smile to Lin Mo's face. "Regarding the conditions I just discussed with Chief Li, don't you have anything to say?"
An Youyu shook her head. "No, you always have your own considerations when you do things. Since you and Chief Li made this request, you must have some ideas that others can't guess."
Hearing her say that, Lin Mo's smile widened. "Then do you think I can develop three more patented technologies that are no less advanced than MY's battery technology within a year?"
An Youyu's clear eyes flickered slightly, "Do you think you can do it?"
"Of course!"
Lin Mo nodded decisively, his brows furrowed with an indescribable calmness and confidence. "Since I dare to say this, it means I have absolute confidence."
Seeing Lin Mo's spirited appearance, An Youyu's eyes gleamed with admiration. "I have never doubted you. I have said that you are smarter than me."
The soft words reached Lin Mo's ears, making him involuntarily cup the girl's cheeks and rub them gently. "Trust me, but don't say I'm smarter than you. That's too much praise for me."
In front of so many elders, such intimate behavior made An Youyu's pretty face instantly turn red with embarrassment. She gently pushed away Lin Mo's mischievous hands, "Just say it, don't touch me."
Lin Mo shamelessly moved the chair and grabbed the girl's slender waist, saying, "You're my girlfriend now, and you'll be my wife in the future. What's wrong with being a little intimate?"
"release……"
"I reject."
"..."
An Youyu lowered her head, feeling both helpless and sweet.
Actually, she doesn't object to doing intimate things with Lin Mo now, but the key is that there are other people here, and not just one.
Fortunately, the bad guy didn't go too far, so we could only let him be.
More than half an hour later, Li Hongxiang returned, and his first words were the answer: "Lin Mo, the Elders' Pavilion has accepted your betting agreement."
This result was within Lin Mo's expectations. He stood up, smiled, and nodded, "Thank you, Chief Li."
