My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Be careful!"

Chapter 810 The food isn't important, the attitude is.

"Be careful!"

Zhuang Su smiled bitterly, “Chief, these are established facts. According to the intelligence held by the Elders’ Council, the Lin family’s current strength is almost equivalent to the combined strength of the two super-grade families, the Shen family and the Leng family. In terms of strength alone, even the Elders’ Council’s Dragon Guards are no match for the Lin family’s level 10 martial artists.”

"so what?"

Li Hongxiang looked at Zhuang Su across from him with a half-smile.

This question left Zhuang Su somewhat bewildered, and it took him a while to speak, "Chief, what do you mean by 'So what'?"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke his mind: "The Lin family's control of such great power is a threat to the Elder Council."

"so what?"

Li Hongxiang repeated the same statement.

Zhuang Su was now a little confused about what Li Hongxiang was thinking. His tone was somewhat probing as he asked, "Chief, what kind of attitude is this?"

Li Hongxiang retorted, "Old Zhuang, what attitude do you want me to have?"

"This one……"

Zhuang Su shook his head. "Chief, you flatter me. I would never dare to overstep my bounds."

Li Hongxiang waved his hand, "Alright, there's no one else here, no need to hide anything. Just say what's on your mind, don't keep it bottled up for too long or you'll hurt yourself."

Zhuang Su chuckled and pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the chief is so eloquent, then I may speak freely."

Li Hongxiang nodded slightly, picked up the teapot and poured Zhuang Su a cup of tea, "Just tell me."

Zhuang Su took a deep breath, his expression extremely serious. "Chief, the Lin family's development in recent years has been too rapid, especially in the ancient martial arts group. There are a terrifying number of level 10 experts. Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Shu, is on good terms with the two sword gods, Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen. This is an extremely terrifying force."

“If we allow the Lin family to continue developing so recklessly, I worry that it will soon shake the position of the Elders’ Council. It would be best to curb it.”

Li Hongxiang picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Has the Lin family done anything outrageous?"

"Not really."

"Why are you so nervous if it's not you?"

"I……"

Zhuang Su clicked his tongue, somewhat speechless. After considering his words for a moment, he continued, "Chief, although the Lin family hasn't done anything outrageous yet, no one can guarantee they won't in the future. If we don't curb the Lin family's development, they'll be difficult to control later."

Why do we need to control it?

Li Hongxiang glanced at Zhuang Su, his tone calm but with a hint of reminder, "Old Zhuang, don't forget the Elders' instructions. The purpose of establishing the Elders' Council was not to seize power. If someone can lead Xia Kingdom to a higher position, the Elders' Council should do its best to help, instead of obstructing it in every way for the sake of so-called power."

Zhuang Su's heart tightened. "But... Xia Kingdom is doing quite well under the management of the Senate."

"fine?"

Li Hongxiang laughed, a self-deprecating smile on his face. "Old Zhuang, do you really believe such nonsense? As a member of the Elders' Council, don't you know what the Xia Kingdom is like now?"

"This one……"

"Internal and external troubles!"

Before Zhuang Su could speak, Li Hongxiang delivered his verdict. At that moment, a complex expression appeared on his face, which bore the marks of time. "The entertainment era has swept the globe, but our Xia Kingdom is the one most deeply poisoned by it."

"With the current talent pool of our Xia Kingdom, it is almost impossible to restore the technological level of the pre-Xia era. The only way at present is to develop and strengthen the only martial arts path. Even if we only have one card to play as a deterrent, our Xia Kingdom's situation will be much better."

"Use martial arts as a tool to get through the immediate crisis, then gradually move away from entertainment and vigorously develop technology. This is the only solution I can think of right now."

"Old Zhuang, I have a piece of advice for you: don't be too attached to power. Power was given to you by the people of Xia, so you must lead the people to a better life."

Zhuangsu has completely shut down.

Li Hongxiang's words were reasonable and well-founded. Recalling the instructions from the Senate, he sighed bitterly, stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your admonition, Your Majesty. I was too attached to appearances."

Li Hongxiang glanced at Zhuang Su and said, "You'll be in charge of the Ancient Martial Arts Competition next month. You must be extremely careful in selecting the ten masters. Remember, I don't want to see any conflicts of interest in this matter. I only want absolute strength!"

Zhuang Su nodded respectfully, "Yes!"

…………

As soon as Lin Mo stepped out of the government building, he saw He Qiqi and Xu Huang chatting and laughing by the car window from a distance.

This scene made Lin Mo chuckle to himself.

He Qiqi is usually very gentle, but there is a sense of aloofness about her. People who know her well don't notice it, but strangers can clearly feel it.

But now He Qiqi no longer has that sense of aloofness; all that can be felt is her gentleness.

This change made Lin Mo sigh inwardly.

Love really can change a person!

"cough……"

Hearing the cough behind her, He Qiqi quickly stood up straight and turned around to meet the young master's ambiguous smile. Her face unconsciously flushed slightly. "Young master, I heard that Brother Xu brought you here. You know that you can't buy food here, so I thought I'd come and bring him some food."

Xu Huang leaned out of the car window, swallowed the food in his mouth, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right."

Lin Mo didn't say a word, walked up and looked at the pink lunchbox in Xu Huang's hand, then turned to He Qiqi and asked, "Where's my lunch?"

"what?"

He Qiqi was dumbfounded.

Lin Mo nodded matter-of-factly. "Sister Qiqi, you know to bring food to Uncle Xu, but you don't know to bring it to me? Or is it that after you started dating Uncle Xu, you can't see anyone else but him?"

"I……"

He Qiqi was stunned on the spot.

Xu Huang coughed lightly, speaking up to help him out, "Young Master, you've been inside for so long, past mealtime. Didn't you eat inside?"

"No."

Lin Mo smiled at He Qiqi, who lowered her head shyly. "Young Master, I thought you had already eaten, so I didn't prepare anything for you. How about we go back to the manor now and I'll make something for you?"

Lin Mo's eyes were full of teasing, "Sister Qiqi, what should I do if I want to eat right now? Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have tried to match you up with Uncle Xu. Now look what's happened, all your attention is on Uncle Xu, and you don't care about your younger brother at all, tsk tsk."

He Qiqi's face turned bright red. "I was wrong."

"you are right."

Xu Huang quickly got out of the car and gave Lin Mo an apologetic smile. "Young Master, this matter is ultimately my fault. I should have stopped Qi Qi when she came to deliver the food."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Xu, isn't that a bit off? Shouldn't you have asked Sister Qiqi to prepare an extra portion of my meal?"

Xu Huang: "..."

The two exchanged a silent glance, realizing they were both in the wrong.

Lin Mo clutched her chest, looking at the two of them with deep sorrow, "You two...sigh, I really don't know what to say about you."

He Qiqi opened her mouth, "Young Master, this will definitely not happen again in the future, so please don't hold it against me this time."

Seeing her pleading look, Lin Mo could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

He Qiqi was incredibly clever, and in an instant she understood that Lin Mo's behavior was just to tease her. She felt both helpless and amused, and softly complained, "Young Master, you can't joke like that. It's not funny at all. I was almost scared to death."

Xu Huang belatedly realized what was happening and echoed, "That's right, young master, you've gone too far!"

Lin Mo stopped laughing and looked at Xu Huang's face. "I'm being unreasonable? Uncle Xu, don't you think you're being unreasonable? I went to great lengths to bring you and Sister Qiqi together, and now that you and Sister Qiqi are together, you've forgotten about me, your number one contributor. When Sister Qiqi brings you food, you don't even know to ask her to bring me a portion. Do you have any conscience?"

Xu Huang asked, puzzled, "Young Master, doesn't the government center provide meals?"

"Yes, manage it."

"That's still..."

"What's wrong with providing meals?"

Lin Mo didn't give Xu Huang a chance to speak, interrupting, "Since I've already eaten inside, can't Sister Qiqi bring me some food?"

"This……"

"The food isn't important; what matters is the attitude."

"..."

Xu Huang was completely trapped.

Seeing this, Lin Mo winked at He Qiqi, "Sis, did you see that? Uncle Xu can't even handle this much. How will he appease you when you two argue in the future? Listen to me, break up with him!"

Xu Huang: "..."

Chapter 811 Dragon and Phoenix in Splendor!

"Young Master, please stop causing trouble."

He Qiqi was extremely helpless, but after seeing Xu Huang's blank expression, she burst out laughing.

Xu Huang hurriedly said, "Qiqi, um... I won't argue with you anymore, don't listen to the young master's nonsense."

Seeing Xu Huang's clueless reaction, He Qiqi forced back a laugh and asked, "Well, and then?"

Xu Huang cautiously pleaded, "Then... can we not break up?"

"Hahaha……"

Before He Qiqi could respond, Lin Mo could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

He Qiqi laughed along, "Brother Xu, can't you tell that the young master was just joking?"

Xu Huang was surprised and doubtful. "A joke?"

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, "Otherwise what? I just brought you and Sister Qiqi together, and then I'd break you two up again? What would I gain from that!"

Xu Huang chuckled dryly, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say, so he simply said nothing and opened the passenger door. "Young Master, get in the car."

Lin Mo glanced at the passenger seat, then turned around, opened the back door, and got in.

He Qiqi smiled, sat in the passenger seat, and winked at Lin Mo, "Thank you for giving up your seat, young master."

"Give me your seat?"

Lin Mo scoffed, "Sister Qiqi, I didn't offer you my seat. I just prefer to sit in the back. Don't overthink it."
