My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo coughed lightly and whispered a reminder, "Chief Li, could you please wait until I leave before picking up the goods? Calling my grandfather like that in front of me... that's not quite appropriate, don't you think?"

Li Hongxiang laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll restrain myself then. Of course, I'm not disrespecting your grandfather. You know I have a good relationship with him, and we're used to joking around like that. It's really hard to change that now."

Lin Mo nodded with a smile. In any case, the verification process for a core patent like MY battery technology would definitely take a long time.

So he wasn't in a hurry and just chatted with the two big shots casually.

Both Li Hongxiang and Zhuang Su secretly admired his humble yet assertive attitude.

The future successor of the Lin family...

Excellent!

Suddenly, Lin Mo raised his voice a little, "Chief Li, there's something I need to trouble you with."

Li Hongxiang was in a very good mood at the moment, and waved his hand generously, "As long as it's not excessive, everything is negotiable."

"It's not too excessive."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "You should know my mother, Lin Shu, right?"

Li Hongxiang nodded with a smile, "Of course I know her. Your mother is one of the four great masters of ancient artifact restoration. It is said that her restoration skills far surpass the other three, and she has a very deep understanding of the pre-Xia calendar era. If I remember correctly, she is currently in charge of the excavation of a pre-Xia calendar era site."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's brows furrowed subtly.

He knew that An Youyu couldn't touch anything or anything from the pre-Xia calendar era, and that even hearing those words would make her heart race.

But now this little thing has gone with its mother to excavate pre-Xia calendar era ruins.

My mother knows about this taboo!

But she clearly knew that the excavation was of a pre-Xia calendar era site, so why did she agree to let An Youyu participate?

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, Li Hongxiang was somewhat puzzled and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with your mother?"

Lin Mo collected his thoughts. "Chief Li, actually, my matter is related to the archaeological project my mother is in charge of. It's like this..."

A few minutes later, after Lin Mo explained, Li Hongxiang and Zhuang Su exchanged a strange look, and neither of them said a word.

This reaction made Lin Mo a little unsure, so he tentatively asked, "Is it not okay? If it's inconvenient, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"It's not impossible."

Li Hongxiang first shook his head, then smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that what you asked for would be so simple. Don't blame me for not reminding you, you can make even more outrageous demands now. If you miss this opportunity, you can only make demands when you have to contribute to the country in the future."

These words were, in a subtle way, a hint.

This implies that Lin Mo can make some unreasonable requests, as long as they are not too excessive, he can fulfill them.

Lin Mo wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the underlying meaning in Li Hongxiang's words.

Under their watchful eyes, he didn't hesitate for a moment and said with a smile, "Kid, I don't have any more unreasonable demands. All I want now is a permit to excavate the ruins."

"Tsk..."

Zhuang Su found it quite novel, "Are young people these days so willing to spend so much on dating?"

For people like them, most things can be measured by profit, but Lin Mo is clearly going against the grain. He could have chosen real benefits, but he chose a worthless pass instead.

This approach was something that Li Hongxiang and Zhuang Su could not understand.

Perhaps this is what distinguishes them from young people!

"Are you willing to invest?"

Lin Mo muttered those four words, then suddenly laughed, "Elder Zhuang, you may have misunderstood. Everyone likes different things and thinks things are important differently."

"Perhaps for many people, money and profit are the most important things, but for me, these are just external things. Companionship is more important than anything else."

"well said!"

Li Hongxiang grew increasingly appreciative of Lin Mo, praising him: "Although you are young, you have a composure that your peers don't have. In many things, you are even more insightful than us old guys. You are remarkable."

"You're joking, Chief. You're the one who's truly remarkable."

"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary old man. You're a prodigy of our time. I wouldn't dare to try and extort you."

"Chief, I'm not some chosen one, I'm just an ordinary person with good luck."

Zhuang Su: "..."

What are those two doing here?

How about a mutual compliment?

"Ahem... I'll say something."

For a moment, both Lin Mo and Li Hongxiang looked at Zhuang Su.

Under their gazes, Zhuang Su cleared his throat and said, "You two are both remarkable. I'm just an ordinary person."

Lin Mo found it amusing.

Before meeting these big shots, he thought they would be difficult to get along with, but after meeting them, he found that they were actually very kind.

Of course, this must be related to his identity.

But this also shows that these big shots are not as unapproachable as people think. They are just ordinary people, but the jobs they do are different from ordinary people.

After chatting for more than an hour, Li Hongxiang asked his secretary to bring some food. Before they had finished eating, the pass was in Lin Mo's hands.

The so-called pass is a silver-white metal card, slightly smaller than a playing card.

After looking it over carefully, Lin Mo put the pass into his pocket and thanked Li Hongxiang again, saying, "Thank you, Chief Li, for granting my wish."

"Why are you being so polite?"

Li Hongxiang put down his chopsticks and explained with a smile, "The pass I gave you is the highest level. Out of the more than one hundred people in the entire team that was admitted, only your mother has this kind of pass."

After saying that, he added with concern, "Lin Mo, I've given you the pass, but don't cause any trouble once you get there, or I'll take it back."

Lin Mo asked with a sincere expression, "Chief, what counts as causing trouble?"

"This one……"

Li Hongxiang was stumped by the question.

Zhuang Su smiled and replied, "Hindering the archaeological process is considered disrupting the work, destroying artifacts at the site is considered disrupting the work, and not following the rules of the archaeological team is considered disrupting the work. That's pretty much it."

"cough--"

After hearing Zhuang Su's three criteria, Lin Mo began to argue his point, "Elder Zhuang, I do not agree with your statement. You also know what my purpose was in going to the archaeological site."

“An Youyu is my girlfriend, but she is also a member of the team. After I join, I will definitely be around her often, for example, chatting or joking during the excavation process. This will more or less affect her work efficiency.”

"As for the point about damaging artifacts in the ruins, I don't agree with that either. What if An Youyu accidentally damages an artifact while I'm chatting with her? But such things are very easy to happen during the excavation process, aren't they? What if an artifact is damaged? How will that be handled?"

"As for the last point, I still don't quite agree. After all, I'm not going there for archaeology; I'm going to accompany my partner. What do the archaeological team's rules have to do with me?"

Zhuang Su: "..."

So after all that, Lin Mo rejected all three of his rules?

He is indeed a young man!

Seeing Zhuang Su's embarrassed expression, Li Hongxiang burst into laughter, "Old Zhuang, what do you have to say now?"

Zhuang Su looked sullen. "Chief, don't forget, I was speaking up for you. How come you're laughing at me in the end?"

Li Hongxiang didn't go too far. After stopping his laughter, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. "How about this, Lin Mo, I won't make any rules for you. Just be a little more restrained when you go to the excavation site. Otherwise, do whatever you want."

"The chief is mighty, the chief is magnanimous."

Lin Mo grasped Li Hongxiang's hand tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down his face, and said, "Chief, I have long admired you. I grew up hearing about your deeds. You are the person I respect and worship the most, without exception!"

Li Hongxiang's lips twitched. "Lin Mo, aren't you overacting a bit?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said righteously, "What I just said came from the bottom of my heart, and there was absolutely no falsehood in it."

Li Hongxiang sized up Lin Mo, as if trying to confirm something, and after a while shook his head, "At such a young age, he's already learning bad habits, and he never tells the truth."

"cough!"

Although Lin Mo didn't know how Li Hongxiang had seen through his lie, he didn't show it at all and reiterated, "Chief, I have truly admired you since I was a child. Don't we even have the most basic trust between us?"

Zhuang Su: "..."

Lin Mo from the Lin family is not old, doesn't talk much, and is a difficult character to deal with.

This is the label he gave Lin Mo.

Just then, a man in military uniform arrived. After saluting, his deep, iron-blooded voice rang out, "Chief, the core data of MY Battery Technology has been verified and there are no problems. Shall we put it into the Dragon Vault?"

"Put it in!"

"Yes!"

After the soldier left, Li Hongxiang laughed heartily and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder earnestly, "Kid, work hard in the future and try to develop another groundbreaking patent on par with MY battery technology."

"Is there any reward?"

"Haha... Of course there is. If you can develop a patented technology on par with MY's battery technology, whatever reward you want, I will give you."

"Really?"

"I never joke."

After receiving Li Hongxiang's affirmative reply, Lin Mo chuckled, "Chief, what I'm lacking now is a decent research lab... um, that's it."

Li Hongxiang was amused. "Lin Mo, do you young people always give such obvious hints?"

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

Li Hongxiang readily agreed, "That's easy, Lao Zhuang. I'll leave this matter to you. Follow up on it. As the old saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice. We can't let our great scientist not even have a decent research lab."

Zhuang Su's expression was serious. "Don't worry, Chief, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhuang Su finished speaking, Lin Mo, who had finished eating and drinking, stood up and bowed to the two men. "Chief, Elder Zhuang, now that the matter has been settled, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Li Hongxiang watched Lin Mo's retreating figure and clicked his tongue, "I have to say, this kid is really smart and outstanding."

Zhuang Su nodded in agreement, “Indeed, at least in my memory, no young person has ever been as nonchalant as Lin Mo when facing me.”

"He's so composed, it's hard to believe he's his age. I wonder how the Lin family head raised such an outstanding grandson. Now the Lin family's ambitions finally have a stage to unfold."

Li Hongxiang's expression changed slightly, and his tone carried a clear warning.
