The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

"General Fu, it is truly presumptuous of me to come and disturb you," Sun Chengxiao's voice came from the other end of the terminal. "I am already aware of Sun Qian's offense, and I would like to express my sincere apologies to you, Miss Lu Yao, and President Zhou. It is our fault for failing to discipline him properly."

"I have ordered Sun Qian to go to the mining planet immediately for three years, and he is not to return to the main planet without a summons. Is General Fu satisfied with this arrangement?"

Fu Ciyan then spoke, his tone indifferent: "This is a family matter for Patriarch Sun. If you think it's good, that's fine. I, as an outsider, have no right to interfere."

Sun Chengxiao chuckled dryly, inwardly cursing Fu Ciyan for being so cunning.

However, he dared not show it on his face, and only smiled and said, "General Fu is joking. The Sun family has always acted fairly. Sun Qian made a mistake and should naturally bear the consequences. This time, it was indeed because the Sun family did not discipline him properly. I will personally apologize to Miss Lu Yao another day."

"No need for apologies," Fu Ciyan said calmly. "Yaoyao prefers quiet, and it's good that Patriarch Sun is so kind. Is there anything else? If not, we'd like to have our meal."

Sun Chengxiao was taken aback, but dared not say more. He simply replied, "Okay, okay, it was my oversight. I won't disturb your meal any longer. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

The communication was disconnected.

Sun Chengxiao looked at Sun Qian, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state, clearly having just been disciplined by his family.

"Just because you drank some cat pee doesn't mean you know who you are. You're just looking for trouble. Pack your things and get back to the mining planet."

Sun Qian knelt on the ground, blood still seeping from the wound on his back, but dared not utter a single complaint.

"Yes, Master." He lowered his head, his voice hoarse, but his eyes were full of resentment.

Seeing his appearance, Sun Chengxiao's anger flared even more, and she kicked him.

"You piece of trash! I finally managed to get in touch with the military, and if you ruin it, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Sun Qian staggered from the kick and fell to the ground, too afraid to fight back.

"Get out!" Sun Chengxiao shouted angrily, and Sun Qian limped away.

After everyone disappeared, Sun Chengxiao took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. If he had known that Fu Ciyan could achieve such a position in the military region, he should have been more ruthless and sent his son to gain experience. Maybe he could have gotten a position too, instead of being suppressed so much.

The Sun family mainly deals in energy. The ore they mine must be inspected by the military before it can be transported back to the capital planet. Fu Ciyan happens to be in charge of this part.

Fortunately, Fu Ciyan is upright and honest, and he does things openly. If this matter is handled to his satisfaction, he will not make things difficult for them.

After Fu Ciyan finished his call with Sun Chengxiao, he returned to his seat, where the food had already been served.

Zhou Jinlu looked up at him: "Sun Chengxiao reacted quite quickly. The main reason is that the Sun family recently had a batch of freshly mined ore to transport back, and they were afraid you would obstruct them."

This was the first time Lu Yao had heard anyone talk about Fu Ciyan's job, and she looked at the man with some curiosity.

Fu Ciyan smiled at her: "There's no problem with this batch of ore, I won't do anything to him, but if there is, it won't end well because of this. Besides, he's been in contact with Marshal Xu recently, wanting to take over the military's energy allocation."

Zhou Jinlu scoffed, "He's got quite the nerve, not even asking if our Zhou family agrees."

The Zhou family has always cooperated with the military in the energy sector. Now that the Sun family wants to join forces with Marshal Xu to get a share of the profits, Zhou Jinlu will naturally not agree.

Fu Ciyan said all he had to say, and Zhou Jinlu naturally didn't say anything more either.

Lu Yao blinked, knowing there was something more to the conversation between the two men, but she didn't understand and didn't ask any further questions.

The private restaurant Zhou Jinlu found was delicious, and she ate a bit too much and felt a little full. Seeing that the two seemed to still have something to say, Lu Yao stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk in the courtyard. You two chat, don't worry about me."

"Be careful." Since it was right outside the window in the bamboo grove, Fu Ciyan didn't stop him.

After Lu Yao left, Zhou Jinlu asked, "How long until General Fu gets another promotion?"

"Is Marshal He Qing about to retire?" Fu Ciyan didn't answer, but asked this question instead.

Zhou Jinlu nodded, making no attempt to hide anything. Marshal He Qing was the Zhou family's biggest connection in the military: "Yes, there are still more than half a year left. Otherwise, how could Marshal Xu and the Sun family dare to do that!"

"General Fu, if possible, I hope you can climb the ranks further, not only for your own sake but also for Miss Lu Yao's. If needed, I am willing to lend a helping hand, but of course, my conditions remain the same."

Fu Ciyan knew that his condition was Lu Yao.

But Lu Yao was not his possession.

"I'll say it again: it depends on Yaoyao's wishes. If she accepts you, I won't object. As for what you said, I'll consider it. Right now, I only need one more military merit."

"I see."

Zhou Jinlu picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and looked through the carved wooden window at the slender figure in the courtyard.

Lu Yao was standing by the bamboo grove, her head tilted slightly back. Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves and fell on her, casting dappled shadows that made her appear exceptionally gentle.

"By the way, does General Fu have time to go to the Ocean Flower Star reality show next month?" Zhou Jinlu suddenly remembered this and asked.

"I've already talked to Yaoyao, and I'll adjust my vacation schedule, but I won't be appearing on camera. Let her and Xie Linyu appear together."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinlu smiled and said, "Your magnanimity sometimes truly impresses me."

Fu Ciyan glanced at him but didn't explain anything. If given the chance, he wouldn't mind letting Zhou Jinlu experience his 'magnanimity'.

Lu Yao stood in the bamboo forest for a while, enjoying the breeze.

Seeing Fu Ciyan and Zhou Jinlu come out, she walked over with a smile: "Finished chatting?"

Fu Ciyan nodded and took her hand: "Let's go home. Thank you for your hospitality, President Zhou."

"Of course." Zhou Jinlu saw the two of them onto the hovercar before turning around and getting into his own car.

Back in the car, Zhou Jinlu opened his terminal and sent information about Marshal Xu and the Sun family to an account via an encrypted channel.

After finishing this task, he rubbed his temples, thinking about how Lu Yao had taken the initiative to hug him in the treatment room earlier that day.

Even now, he is still overjoyed by it.

Does this mean that he has already secured a place in Lu Yao's heart?
