The more she thought about Noah, the more unhappy she became. She pouted and looked at Lin Shangzhou unhappily, and when Lin Shangzhou saw her expression, he felt something was wrong.
She said with a straight face, "Fritts, you said you saved the maid named Noya, and then what? Didn't you do anything because she was injured?"
Letitia's question was very sharp. This was where she noticed something wrong. Lin Shangzhou was beaten for the maid. Logically, the maid should have done something to repay Lin Shangzhou, but what happened afterwards was skipped. Letitia had reason to believe that Lin Shangzhou was hiding something from her in this matter.
"Forehead…"
Lin Shangzhou hesitated whether to speak or not. He raised his eyes and glanced at Letitia secretly. His eyes met Letitia's. The girl glared at him in dissatisfaction, which made Lin Shangzhou quickly look away.
(Don’t forget that you intend to tell Letitia everything)
After repeating this sentence several times in his mind, Lin Shangzhou said to Letitia: "After I was injured, His Majesty gave Nuoya and me a few days off, and Nuoya stayed at my house to take care of me during the vacation."
"Humph!"
After hearing this, Letitia snorted in dissatisfaction, and this movement also made Lin Shangzhou shut his mouth.
Letitia was very unhappy. That girl actually lived with Lin Shangzhou for a few days. Although she was also living with Lin Shangzhou, the meaning was different. Berlin was Lin Shangzhou's home. The girl named Noya lived in Lin Shangzhou's home to take care of him, while she was just renting a house with him. How could this be compared?
She also knew that she was jealous now. It would be strange if she didn't feel jealous when she heard that the person she liked had lived with another girl.
While feeling sad, Letitia was also thinking about another thing, that is, what were Lin Shangzhou's feelings for the girl named Noya?
Do you like him? Or do you just see him as a friend?
She hoped that Lin Shangzhou viewed Noah as a friend, but when she thought about it, Letitia felt something was not right. If that was true, then Lin Shangzhou might also view her as a friend.
Letitia didn't know what Lin Shangzhou was thinking. She liked Lin Shangzhou, but did Lin Shangzhou like her?
Except for that awkward morning, Lin Shangzhou never mentioned "liking" once. Letitia now regretted why she didn't tell him directly that she liked him.
If he had told him at that time, maybe he wouldn't have to worry about the girl named Noah now.
She and Lin Shangzhou have been together longer than Nuoya has, and they have experienced more things. She has obvious advantages, but she has not made her feelings clear to Lin Shangzhou.
Letitia felt that Lin Shangzhou knew in his heart that she liked him, but after what happened that day, the interaction between the two of them was just like that of ordinary friends.
(If I had known, I would have confessed it then...sigh...)
Sighing softly in her heart, Letitia asked him, "Then why did you return to Berlin?"
"You said your enemy is the prime minister's nephew, and you can't deal with him, so why do you want to go back?"
Because of Letitia's performance just now, Lin Shangzhou said nervously: "My purpose of going back is to become the leader of the Social Democratic Party, and then to run for the general election next year and become the prime minister."
"When.... huh? Huh?!"
Letitia was confused. Lin Shangzhou said something that shocked her heart. He wanted to become the leader of the party and participate in the general election to become the prime minister?
This is fucking incredible, isn't it?!
Letitia doesn't care much about Noah's affairs now. Her attention is completely drawn to becoming the party leader and prime minister.
She said to Lin Shangzhou worriedly: "No, Fritz, are you serious? That's not an easy thing. I think it will be very difficult."
"It's okay, don't worry, I'm still very confident in the election."
Lin Shangzhou said to Letitia.
Letitia asked in confusion: "Why do you want to become the prime minister? Aren't you doing well in both life and work now? I know you are a government official and a member of the Social Democratic Party. It is normal for you to have ambitions for a high position, but isn't your pursuit too much?"
"Why do you want to become prime minister?"
Lin Shangzhou sneered at himself and said, "In the past, I just wanted to become the chancellor because I wanted to help His Majesty the Emperor, but now I am working towards the chancellor's position because I want to help the German people. You have seen in the past few months that there are still many people in Germany who are on the edge of poverty. If the government doesn't help them, no one will help them."
"If the Centre Party government doesn't help them, then the Social Democratic Party government will help them on their behalf."
Letitia looked at Lin Shangzhou with mixed feelings. His words combined with what Letitia had seen in the past, Lin Shangzhou's image instantly became taller in her heart.
This also greatly increased her love for Lin Shangzhou. She wanted to express her feelings to Lin Shangzhou immediately, but her mouth only opened slightly and then closed.
Letitia held back, because according to Lin Shangzhou, he would have to continue to work hard in the future. If she expressed her feelings to him now, it might cause trouble for him. She didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Shangzhou. She thought that Lin Shangzhou should concentrate on his career now instead of being disturbed by the relationship between men and women.
Lin Shangzhou didn't notice her hesitation. He was hesitating whether to tell Letitia about himself and Cecilia.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he overcame his fear of the "Asura Field" and decided to tell Letitia the truth. He believed that he should not deceive the girl who loved him and she had the right to know everything.
"Letitia, is there another thing I didn't tell you?"
"Hmm? What's going on?"
The corners of Letitia's mouth curled up, and she felt much happier because the person she liked was a person with lofty ideals, and she was very happy about it.
"Forehead…"
Lin Shangzhou hesitated again when the words came to his lips. He closed his mouth and bit his back teeth for a few seconds to firm up his mind. Then he said to Letitia: "Lady Cecilia and I have reached an agreement."
"Well, then, what did you agree with the princess?"
Letitia couldn't help but feel curious. She was curious about what her lover had agreed with the princess of the German Empire.
"She and I agreed that if I lost the election, I would give up everything in Germany and return to China."
Hearing this, Letitia was very dissatisfied with Cecilia, the princess she had never met. Why did she make such an agreement with Lin Shangzhou? What bargaining chips did she use to make the agreement with Lin Shangzhou? Letitia did not speak, but waited quietly for Lin Shangzhou to say the next words.
"If I win the election and become Prime Minister..."
"Then she'll be devoted to me."
After the words fell, Letitia was stunned. The words like a bolt from the blue kept echoing in her ears. The meaning of these words was very clear. Cecilia would fall in love with Lin Shangzhou after he became prime minister. This was equivalent to saying: she would marry Lin Shangzhou.
She didn't understand why the princess made such an agreement with Lin Shangzhou, because this way she would have no chance to be with Lin Shangzhou.
Letitia remembered that in the past October, Lin Shangzhou had told her that politicians were profit-driven creatures. She certainly did not think that her ideal man was a political animal, but she knew that marrying a princess would bring much more benefits than marrying a commoner like her or the maid.
She took a deep breath with a trembling body. Lin Shangzhou looked at her nervously. He felt that Letitia was very angry now and did not dare to say a word.
After taking a deep breath, Letitia pretended to be unhappy, then sighed and changed her attitude and said happily: "What? Isn't this a good thing?"
"Eh?"
Lin Shangzhou was stunned. Why did Letitia look so happy?
"If you become the prime minister in the future, you will be a good match for that princess."
Letitia closed the novel in her hand and said to him with a smile.
"I was just drunk that night. I just said 'I like you' when I was drunk. Don't take it too seriously."
Lin Shangzhou looked at Letitia in surprise. He felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He wanted to say something to Letitia, but Letitia pouted and said unhappily, "Go cook quickly. I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
At Letitia's urging, Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Letitia sat on the sofa, taking deep breaths to calm herself. She really wanted to tell Lin Shangzhou how she felt, but she knew that if she said it now, it would cause Lin Shangzhou considerable trouble both now and in the future.
She didn't want to see Lin Shangzhou trapped in emotional problems.
So Leticia ignored her feelings for him and said things against her will. At the same time, she silently made a decision in her heart - to keep her distance from Lin Shangzhou in the future.
After lunch, Letitia returned to her room to take a nap. Although Lin Shangzhou found it very strange, he did not ask too many questions.
After returning to her room, Letitia sat on the edge of the bed, then slowly lay down on the bed, buried her head in the pillow and cried softly. She didn't dare to cry too loudly, as her crying would attract Lin Shangzhou's attention.
In the following days, Letitia had to act normal in front of Lin Shangzhou. She went through the first most difficult time of her life with two faces.
It wasn't until half a month later that she fully recovered from her depression.

Chapter 107 Equipment for Success
Twenty days later, on the afternoon of November 23rd, Lin Shangzhou drove to the international students' apartment. He came today as a routine to see how Harvot's research was going and whether there had been any breakthroughs.
There is only one week left until December. Lin Shangzhou hopes to get good news from Havot today. However, it doesn’t matter if there is no breakthrough. There is still a lot of time. He just needs to ask Louis for help and let him invest in Havot’s research.
After all, he only had a few hundred thousand marks, all of which he had saved. It wouldn't matter if he spent more than half of it, but he couldn't spend it all.
When he arrived at the apartment door, Lin Shangzhou took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. This key was given to him by Wang Shunyu. Because he came to the apartment frequently in the past, Wang Shunyu simply gave him a key to the apartment door. They also had unconditional trust in Lin Shangzhou.
After entering the apartment, Lin Shangzhou went to the top floor and knocked on the attic door. After a few seconds, the door was opened by Harvot.
"Good afternoon, Harvot."
Lin Shangzhou greeted Harvotte with a smile and walked into the room.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fritz."
After entering the room, Lin Shangzhou sat on a chair with a backrest. This chair was prepared by Harvot for Lin Shangzhou so that he could talk to himself in his room.
"Havot, how is the research on the communicator going? Have you achieved any breakthrough?"
Lin Shangzhou asked as he looked at the instruments on the table. There were two ether communicators on the table, one was disassembled and the other was half disassembled, but it was possible that they were being assembled.
Harvot walked to the table excitedly and said to him, "I was just about to tell you this good news. The performance of the communicator is much better than before. We no longer need to rely on luck to make contact. We can make calls after debugging is completed."
This good news made Lin Shangzhou feel happy immediately. He smiled and said to Harvot, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Please assemble them first. I want to use them now."
"Okay, I'll assemble it right away."
Before he finished speaking, Harvot picked up the parts and began to assemble the communicator.
Lin Shangzhou sat on the chair with his legs crossed and watched him assemble the communicator. The assembly of precision instruments was very time-consuming. More than ten minutes passed before Havot finally completed the half-assembled communicator.
After assembling the communicator, Harvot picked up the communicator and brought it in front of Lin Shangzhou.
"Mr. Fritz, you can take a look at it first."
"Ah."
Reaching out to take the communicator, Lin Shangzhou began to play with the Ethernet communicator in his hand, which was somewhat similar to a satellite phone. The current communicator has not changed much compared to the last time he got it. There is an interface for calls, a red start button, and a red rotary regulator on the front.
Lin Shangzhou put the communicator to his ear. All he heard was the sound of Harvot assembling the communicator, and nothing else. He took the communicator and pressed the red button on it. After a small but crisp sound, Lin Shangzhou put the communicator to his ear again.
This time he heard a noisy sound like radio noise, but the sound he heard this time was clearer than last time. In other words, the sound quality was better.
(A good kernel is indeed different... but it's a bit too expensive...)
Lin Shangzhou thought to himself.
If even the noise is so clear, then the voice must be clearer as well. Clear sound is a good thing, as clear sound can convey information more effectively.
He held the communicator in one hand and pinched the rotary regulator with the index finger and thumb of the other hand. While twisting the regulator, Lin Shangzhou listened carefully to the sound coming from the communicator.
Lin Shangzhou's behavior was just out of curiosity. He wanted to try to see if he could hear something other than the noise. But unfortunately, after turning the regulator round and round, all he heard was meaningless noise.
(How could I possibly hear other sounds? It would be strange if I could hear other sounds.)
He put it down and turned off the communicator.
Lin Shangzhou remembered that there were radio enthusiasts in OTL who communicated with others after adjusting the parameters. Since the Ethernet communicator needs to be adjusted with knobs, it should be possible to communicate with other strangers like a radio. However, after some attempts, he got nothing.
He even felt that hearing some strange sounds was better than just noise, as the former could make the world more interesting.
Lin Shangzhou looked down at the communicator in his hand and thought of a question - what are other countries' research on ether communicators like?
Judging from Havot's experience, various countries should not attach importance to this aspect, but the existence of scientists like Havot who study "ether communicators" can be used by the public. Lin Shangzhou does not believe that the governments of countries such as Britain, France and Germany have not conducted similar research.
If the research progress in each country is smooth, then Havot should not run into obstacles in the four countries. But if the progress is not smooth, then he should not run into obstacles everywhere. Scientists like Havot should be absorbed into the official scientific research team to conduct research.
After thinking about it, Lin Shangzhou felt that the best explanation was that Havot was very unlucky. When he demonstrated the communicator to investors from four countries, he never successfully made a call. In addition, research in this area was not taken seriously, so he ran into obstacles everywhere and finally came to Germany to meet him.
Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou suddenly felt very fortunate. If Havot had been luckier, he would not be able to see Havot now, and would not be able to get such a good thing as the Ether Communicator.
He looked up at Harvot, and a smile appeared on his face.
More than ten minutes later, Havot finally finished assembling another communicator. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, stood up, stretched, and let out a breath.
"Is it assembled?"
Lin Shangzhou stood up from his chair, walked over to him and asked.
"Well, we just need to debug them before we can talk. Please give me your communicator so I can debug them."
Harvot was delighted and turned to Lin Shangzhou.
Lin Shangzhou nodded and returned the communicator in his hand to Havot. After taking the communicator, Havot began to turn the regulators on it respectively. After turning the regulators of both communicators, he pressed the power button on the communicator and handed one communicator to Lin Shangzhou.
