996 quickly put down the Animal World documentary he hadn't finished watching and came out to reply:

[Host, please wait a moment. I'm watching. I'll definitely remind you when the opportunity arises.]

Recently, the Qi family patriarch suffered another setback and was forced to retire, causing a great shock to the entire family. Qi Shenyuan has been busy cleaning up the mess in the laboratory and has hardly slept a full night.

With Grandpa Qi retiring, things aren't going to be so easy for the other Qi family members who are still in office.

Without their biggest backer, their political enemies have no qualms about targeting them.

In addition, they had become too arrogant and offended many people, and now they are suffering the consequences.

"Okay, then remember that."

Xi Yao didn't pay much attention, said a few words, and then pushed the door open and went out.

During this time, she took the opportunity to acquire two good items, intending to try them on Qi Shenyuan.

"Yaoyao, you've come down just in time. I've already cooked the noodles."

Rong Yu, wearing an apron, looked at her gently as she approached.

"It smells so good!" Xi Yao quickly walked over and sat down at the table, then leaned down to smell it. "Rong Yu, did you make chili oil?"

"Yes, Yao Yao." Rong Yu handed her chopsticks and sat down himself. "I learned this online. Mix finely ground chili powder with minced garlic, a little Sichuan peppercorns, and salt, then pour hot oil over it. It will make the noodles very fragrant."

After taking a bite, Xi Yao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Your cooking is getting better and better."

According to Tong Dahai, he has also made rapid progress in the company and has already become the general manager.

What a genius mermaid!

Rong Yu's smile was clean and beautiful. "Yao Yao, would you like another fried egg?"

He took the fried egg from his bowl and passed it to him.

Xi Yao refused, "No need, I've already eaten two, you can eat them yourself."

"Okay, Yao Yao."

Rong Yu ate the fried egg himself.

Now the eggs he frys are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside, instead of being burnt black.

Xi Yao looked up at the man who was slowly biting into an egg with his eyes lowered.

His brows were still so clean, and he looked so well-behaved that you wanted to bully him.

Unfortunately, he's not so easy to fool in bed anymore.

I don't know if he's learned a lot in private, but now he has so many tricks up his sleeve.

"Little Rongrong."

"Um?"

Rong Yu swallowed the egg, then looked up at Xi Yao with a puzzled expression.

"How about we go to the island tonight and stay for two or three days before coming back?"

A while ago, Xiyao bought a small island. It was far away and remote, but the environment was really good.

That's a private area where no one else comes, perfect for mermaids to frolic in the sea.

It's also suitable for retirement.

So Xiyao bought it, and it will become her and her golden mermaid's secret base.

"it is good."

Rong Yu nodded.

He never asked Xi Yao why she could teleport.

He trusted her.

As long as the two of them can be together, nothing else matters.

After finishing the meal, Rong Yu cleaned up and washed the dishes.

The two were preparing to watch a movie in the afternoon when Cao Ruisheng received a phone call.

Xi Yao had no choice but to rush back to the lab.

"Be good and wait for me at home. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

She hugged Rong Yu's face, kissed him hard on the lips twice, and then reluctantly left.

After seeing the person off, Rong Yu went out to the supermarket.

He likes to pick out things himself and buy them to take to the island.

Dressed casually, Rong Yu was carefully selecting vegetables in the supermarket, looking like a respectable family man.

the other side.

Xi Yao was called to Cao Ruisheng's office for a talk.

"Xiao Xi, your contributions are too great. The things you created, whether it is the mecha or the materials used in the mecha, are now treasures of Xia Country and even the world. They completely break through the existing technological constraints, but the country cannot give you honors in public."

Cao Ruisheng's eyes were bright, and the excitement on his face had not yet subsided.

"To protect your safety, all your information has been erased so that no one will discover that you created those things. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Xi Yao nodded. "I don't care about reputation. I just want to make one small request."

"You said that apart from monetary rewards, anything else within a reasonable range would be agreed to by the higher-ups."

Cao Ruisheng received instructions from above to bring the person in for a talk today.

In any case, such top talents should be treated well in order to retain them and allow them to continue to contribute to the country.

The prize money of 500 million has already been transferred.

Those things cannot be measured by money; money is merely an attitude.

Another example is the Tong Group, which has been included in the list of key enterprises supported by the state.

As long as the Tong family doesn't break the law or violate regulations, they will be protected by the state from now on, and no one can touch them. They will also receive so many projects that they won't know what to do with them.

"I want the Xia Kingdom to legislate that from now on no longer capture mermaids, and no longer use mermaids for experiments."

Seeing Cao Ruisheng's astonished expression, Xi Yao continued calmly, "I also hope that Xia Kingdom will step forward and propose that this law be followed globally at the World Alliance Conference."

"You…" Cao Ruisheng stammered for a moment before finding the words, "Why is your request so strange?"

Don't normal people seek benefits for themselves and their families?

She actually made a completely unrelated request.

but……

Cao Ruisheng frowned slightly. "Leaving aside whether Xia Country will agree, if you want a global ban, that would require a global alliance to enact a global law, which is too difficult."

There are so many countries in the world, and many countries have been deliberately going against Xia Kingdom for a long time, with the aim of suppressing Xia Kingdom.

It's simply impossible for this law to pass.

Mermaid research was also discussed at the World Alliance Conference.

Too many interests are involved, and everyone has their own ulterior motives, so in the end everyone turns a blind eye and goes about their own research.

"The reason it's difficult to pass is definitely because the benefits aren't enough."

Xi Yao relaxed slightly and leaned back on the sofa, her face radiating confidence and composure.

"The reason why Xia Kingdom allowed these groups, represented by Tianqiong, to conduct mermaid experiments was simply because they used mermaids to create so-called organ regeneration and repair agents."

Although this thing isn't widespread among the general public, it has indeed brought benefits to the powerful and influential, which is why it's allowed to exist. If…”

Xi Yao's lips suddenly curled up. "What if I could create something better than organ regeneration and repair agents, something cheap and effective that everyone could afford, something that would extend lifespan not just a little bit, but much more?"

"What did you say?" Cao Ruisheng could hardly believe his ears. He sat up abruptly and stared intently at Xi Yao. "You can't joke about something like this."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xi Yao raised an eyebrow. "It's not just things like that. I can also research drugs to treat cancer, making certain cancers no longer insurmountable fortresses for the world. Do you think that would prompt the upper echelons of Xia Kingdom to legislate against it?"

Isn't the reason for using mermaids in experiments precisely for these purposes?

Longevity and healing.

"Clatter—"

Cao Ruisheng suddenly stood up, knocking over the pear wood chair in the process.

He didn't bother to help himself up, but instead braced his hands on the desk, leaning forward with his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Xiao Xi, say it again? What did you just say?"
