Chapter 375 Unexpected Wages
"Here you go, that's your salary for being my assistant. I was going to give it to you earlier, but I forgot."
Dr. Zhou wasn't embarrassed at all.
Xi Yu paused for a moment, then opened the terminal's scanning function and scanned the bank card. The total amount on the bank card was immediately displayed.
Looking at that string of zeros, Xi Yu couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
"How can there be so much?" This was so much that Xi Yu was suspicious. It was impossible for researchers in the research institute to have such a high salary, otherwise the legion would go bankrupt.
"How could that be too much! That's your stipend for developing new drugs, equivalent to research expenses. This is already too little!" Dr. Zhou grinned. "Not only me, but Lao Qi should also have a salary prepared for you. Go ask him for it."
"I see... This is a great help, thank you Dr. Zhou." Xi Yu nodded knowingly. She hadn't expected anything in return for her initial research contributions, but she never thought she would receive such an unexpected windfall.
"Although these are my and Lao Qi's ideas, it was Commander Yan who actually approved the subsidies. If you want to express your gratitude, go and talk to him." Before Dr. Zhou could finish speaking, he lowered his head again to focus on his research.
Xi Yu was stunned. The bank card in her hand suddenly felt a little hot. She coughed and slipped out while Dr. Zhou wasn't paying attention.
……
In the First Army Corps' headquarters, Fu Baili was dealing with affairs with a frustrated expression.
"What did Princess Xin say to you?" Yan San was also dealing with government affairs. He lowered his head and flipped through the latest report submitted by his subordinates, asking without looking up.
Fu Baili paused for a moment before sighing and saying, "Two weeks from now, she will be giving a speech on behalf of the royal family at Donglai Square. She hopes that the First Legion can serve as her bodyguard."
Yan San finally raised his head and looked directly at Fu Baili: "What do you say?"
“I… agree.” Fu Baili rubbed his forehead, then assured him, “Don’t worry, I will only mobilize my direct troops, it won’t affect the legion’s operations. In addition to the First Legion, the Fourth Legion will also be deployed at the same time.”
Yan San didn't reply, and the quiet atmosphere made Fu Baili a little timid.
After a long silence, Yan Sancai asked calmly, "So, you plan to send Qinglan over?"
Fu Baili's throat tightened, and he awkwardly looked away: "If she's unwilling, then let the second deputy lead the team."
Yan San tapped his fingers and asked again, "What reason did she give you for asking for your help this time? Let me guess... Is it because Prince Di Han... was assigned to the Fourth Army Corps, and she came to interrogate him?"
Fu Baili closed his eyes again, his head throbbing, and leaned back sharply, his tone harsh: "You already know, so why are you asking?!"
"Didn't you tell her it was my decision?" Yan San raised an eyebrow in displeasure.
Fu Baili remained silent, his mind still replaying the scene of Yue Zhengxin scolding him.
Back when Le Zheng Han entered the military academy under an assumed name, Le Zheng Xin had already come once for her younger brother. At that time, she asked Fu Baili to enroll Le Zheng Han, who was using the alias Di Han, into the First Army Corps.
But let alone Yan San, even Fu Baili himself would not agree to such a thing! No matter how outstanding Di Han is, they would not put an uncertain factor into the legion.
Fu Baili had already refused once, but Le Zhengxin still made a scene about it, so he had no choice but to agree to the guard mission.
Yan San closed the report in his hand and said to him seriously, "Baili... even if you feel that you owe her, seven whole years have passed. Isn't it enough for you to repay her time and time again?"
