Thereâs a difference from what Daddy Su sent; what he sent over indicated there was no way back to the battlefield.
What Admiral Bai sent didnât mean an official withdrawal from the military; they could be considered temporary employees, doing part-time work while exploring different planets.
If they could recover during this time, they would return to the team.
If not, they could continue working in this position and become a part of Extraordinary Islandâs personnel.
Their mental state could be distinguished from ordinary interviewees; they were disciplined and didnât look around aimlessly.
Compared to fresh graduates just entering society, Su Xiaocai preferred hiring such employees.
Some minor defects were negligible.
What Yu Haoming brought back wasnât bad either: diligent and hardworking, though unclear whether they could hold the job long-term.
Daddy Su also helped her resolve many staffing issues; now, it was up to when the organizing committee would arrive.
Really looking forward to the launch day of her virtual world, when both Xiao Wanzi and Wisdom 01 could go online simultaneously, without burdening the system.
At this time, Xiao Wanzi was picking onions in the backyard; tonight they were making minced onion and ginger dumplings, a favorite of Su Xiaocai.
Huahua also liked it, but it only liked the minced meat.
Huahua was pouncing at butterflies nearby, leaping up suddenly, catching the butterfly, and pinning it to the ground.
It played, but didnât eat.
Bits of meat, not even enough to stuff between its teeth, very fastidious.
Extraordinary Island was working overtime day and night, and other companies involved in bidding were not lagging behind.
Xue Huiyiâs company also placed a bid; the manager of her company had great foresight, knowing that the military had lost a lot of personnel and would inevitably need replenishment.
So they put some effort into developing multiplayer competitive games.
Indeed, the opportunity had come.
Xue Huiyi also praised this managerâs vision and smiled with satisfaction when she saw that Extraordinary Island was also competing for the bid.
No matter how formidable Extraordinary Island was, it couldnât surpass the Xue Family.
Xue Huiyi was full of confidence, although she encountered setbacks with Ji Li and Wu Feiyang when the coach couldnât call people back. As expected, she wasnât angry.
She dialed Xue Feiqunâs number, not hiding her intentions.
She wanted him to help increase the likelihood of their bidâs success, "Uncle, can you contact the organizing committee of the Ten Stars Competition and have them give our product a higher score?"
Xue Feiqun calmly replied, "No."
Xue Huiyi protested, "Why not? Itâs a competitive bidding, you have connections, why not use them? I can guarantee the product from our company completely meets the project requirements."
Facing similar products, Xue Huiyi believed her company had an advantage; starting early could mean finishing early.
By then, any bugs would also be easier to fix.
It was a win-win situation; Xue Feiqun had no reason not to help.
Xue Feiqun decided to be upfront, lest she kept pestering him.
"The organizing committee has military personnel overseeing this year. Even my company has to wait for the competition rules to be released to know the details. I canât even find any connections; what do you think I can do for you?"
"If you really create a product, compete honestly. If it doesnât win this time, thereâs always next year. Or release it to earn money." Xue Feiqun wasnât about to get in trouble helping Xue Huiyi.
Currently, his big brother always looked down on him, thinking he spoiled Xue Huiyi too much, making her unaware of her limitations.
Even if he wanted to spoil her now, he needed to avoid drawing attention, to even have a chance to help her regain face.
"Is there no other way? Just passing one word along would do. There are only a few bids, and the fact our company passed the initial screening proves our competence. Just one word, please help me." Xue Huiyi pleaded coquettishly, as she often did.
But this time, she was destined to return empty-handed.
Xue Feiqun toughened his heart and hung up the phone.
What one word, knowing that single word required an enormous amount of effort and money.
The easy-sounding phrase had a huge price, something Xue Huiyi did not understand.
She thought the combined power of the Xue and Yi Families could control everything.
The Xue Family didnât reach its current status smoothly; it was through blood, sweat, and even sacrificing dignity.
How could Xue Huiyi understand?
Afterwards, Xue Feiqun still sent her a message, warning her not to resort to bribery as the committee was monitoring very closely.
"If you get caught, neither my brother nor I will save you; youâre on your own."
Xue Huiyi was furious, feeling abandoned as everyone stopped supporting her after the Ji Family was gone.
She knew there were many Xue Family members within the committee.
Yet they werenât willing to help; Xue Feiqun was also biased against her. She stubbornly thought that once she found a powerful fiancĂ©, no one would dare look down on her.
