Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 414: Uncle is Still Very Useful
Although she was very careful to avoid letting anyone from the Mu and Wang families know about her existence, she felt that ever since she came to this world, her troubles had hardly ceased. It’s said that it’s better to be safe than sorry; she was really worried about running into Wang Fengsong early on. The items she had submitted earlier weren’t enough to keep her safe. Even if the higher-ups found out, they would only persuade both sides to shake hands and make peace, not let the Mu and Wang families take action against her. For that, she needed those who could show their fists.
"These things will take at least a month," Qin Kaize said, his brow furrowing tightly. Enrollment, applications, and the current experimental equipment—all of that was already pushing it to the limit. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Why don’t we hand over that blueprint to the higher-ups?" Su Yijia turned slightly and said seriously, "There’s too much detail in what they’ve asked for. We need detailed production methods for basic weapons, and relying on ourselves to figure it out will take too long. Not only can’t we wait, but can China afford to wait either? It’s better to say that Uncle secretly found someone to help us. After all, you already resigned from the team; just say it was given to you back then."
Qin Kaize thought seriously for a moment, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. "Good! This method you suggested is very feasible!"
"Really feasible?" Su Yijia didn’t expect him to agree so quickly and felt a bit strange. Tilting her head, she looked at him with curiosity, hugging her man.
"Are you sure you’re not just trying to flatter me with this?" Su Yijia asked.
"How could I joke about such a serious matter?" Qin Kaize lowered his head, biting her nose playfully, looking a bit helpless and amused.
"Ow." Su Yijia felt a slight sting and scratched at Qin Kaize’s waist. Once she felt his body tense up, she continued contentedly, "But what if they ask you to contact Uncle again, or if Uncle returns and the higher-ups ask him questions, and he doesn’t know anything?"
"I know where Uncle is," Qin Kaize said, startling Su Yijia.
She looked at him in disbelief. "You know where Uncle is? Why didn’t you say anything when Grandpa and Grandma were worried about him?"
"The situation with Uncle is neither good nor bad. If I tell them now, they will definitely worry all the time. If they don’t know anything, even if they are worried, they can easily put it aside," Qin Kaize explained helplessly. It’s like you care about something, but if you don’t know the situation, sometimes you might deliberately choose to let it go and not care. But if you know a bit about it, you will worry about every detail and end up unable to eat or sleep.
"Is that really the case?" Su Yijia felt that Qin Kaize was overthinking it. If it were her, she would want to know about the situation of someone she cared about, regardless of whether it was good or bad. But no matter what, it didn’t make much of a difference. So, she didn’t push Qin Kaize to explain Uncle’s life abroad to Grandpa Xia and Grandma Zhou.
"So what is your Uncle’s situation right now?" Su Yijia asked curiously.
"My Uncle went abroad to further his studies first. After graduation, he started doing business and later met his current wife. He probably thought about a strong alliance, but his wife is not easy to deal with. Moreover, Uncle is particularly good at making money; he has considerable assets. The woman’s family has some ulterior motives. But because they have two children, even though they know each other’s thoughts, they haven’t divorced all these years. It’s been a mess of calculations and quarrels. We can’t help at all in the country, and such matters abroad are very dangerous." Qin Kaize’s expression darkened as he thought about his so-called aunt.
Upon hearing this, Su Yijia finally understood why Qin Kaize didn’t talk about Uncle’s situation to Grandpa Xia and Grandma Zhou. If he did, it would only mean telling them that Uncle was being schemed against by his partner every day, which could lead to trouble at any moment. Anyone would find that hard to bear, let alone those two elderly folks.
"So, can you find someone to talk to Uncle in advance?" Su Yijia asked excitedly.
"No, I won’t say anything in advance. I’ll find someone on the third day of the new year to see if I can get messages to the outside world. Then on the seventh day of the new year, I’ll upload the news to the team. This will also speed up our access to the laboratory," Qin Kaize thought deeply. He needed to space the two events apart to avoid any potential issues.
Su Yijia nodded, "Alright, I’ll bring it to you then."
Once they confirmed this matter, both felt an immediate sense of relief. These items weren’t just ordinary things; they included detailed production structures for both ordinary and powered models, as well as dozens of types of basic equipment. Just this alone was enough for them to dominate in China. Perhaps Uncle wouldn’t even have to wait two years to return early.
The Mu family and the Wang family together were nothing at all.
"By the way, these things are the most advanced for decades to come. Right now, looking at the whole world, no one can reach this level. Have you thought about how to explain this?" Su Yijia asked.
"They will all have secrets that cannot be disclosed. We’re only responsible for handing them over; how long it takes to make them and whether they will be upgraded will be considered by the higher-ups," Qin Kaize was not worried about this at all. They were the most peace-loving, and these things were just for defending the country. If they could really produce them, they would feel confident standing on par with the rest of the world. If the people outside found these items too advanced, they would be fearful.
Moreover, once these items were produced, China’s top scientists would definitely continue to upgrade them. At that point, when they took them out for a demonstration, everyone would know which family was more advanced.
Listening to Qin Kaize, Su Yijia finally felt satisfied. She then hugged his waist, rolled around a bit, and prepared to sleep quickly. It didn’t matter if she stayed up late, but her little one absolutely needed to develop a good routine. Otherwise, if the baby cried every night, she was afraid she might suffer from postpartum depression.
But just as she found a comfortable position, Qin Kaize kissed her forehead and then took out two red envelopes from under the pillow.
"It’s the first day of the new year. Be good, Happy New Year." His husky voice was full of tenderness.
"I’m this old and still getting red envelopes?" Su Yijia was a bit surprised.
"You’re only twenty; how can you say you’re old?" Qin Kaize pinched her chubby earlobes. He hadn’t thought much of it before; after all, most people around him were getting married at this age.
