Chapter 977: Smoking Is Bad for Health

What Feng Qing didn’t know was that after hearing her name, the shock in Du Yu’s heart was simply indescribable. He had just told Xian Cheng about bringing the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Qing, to the Seven Stars Continent to treat the Prime Minister, and in the end, Feng Qing herself came looking for him.

Du Yu’s eyes kept sizing Feng Qing up. He never expected that the First Madam of the Xie Corporation was actually the maternal relative of the Prime Minister’s wife. This cute, beautiful, petite, and elegant girl in front of him was the person Xian Cheng was prepared to bring back from the Capital?

When Du Yu was chatting with Xian Cheng just now, he had also dropped a lot of gossip about the relationship between the head of the Xing family in the Seven Stars Continent, Xing Wudi, and the First Madam of the Xie family. It was just that they didn’t know that the First Madam of the Xie family was called Feng Qing.

Thinking of this, Du Yu rubbed his eyes and sized Feng Qing up seriously again. He wanted to take a good look at this woman who could mesmerize Xing Wudi to the extreme. However, when he looked at her like this, he finally realized how good-looking Feng Qing was. She was exquisite and cute. She had the sexy beauty of a woman, as well as the immaturity and youth of a young girl. These two completely different temperaments perfectly combined on her body without any sense of incongruity. Especially the white dress on her body, it simply complemented her beauty to the extreme. She was like a lotus that was not tainted by mud, but also like a lily blooming in a hundred flowers. That kind of slender beauty made people feel close from the bottom of their hearts.

After staring at Feng Qing for a while, Du Yu finally came back to his senses. Since Feng Qing was the Prime Minister’s niece, he immediately changed into a polite expression and said, “Madam Xie, there’s something I want to tell you. Please spare me some time.”

Hearing him say this, Feng Qing did not think much of it. She nodded and followed Du Yu to the study room. In the entire hall, the only place that was more formal was the study room. Du Yu bringing her in to talk meant that he was communicating with Feng Qing as if they were discussing business. This situation made Xie Ruoyun very surprised.

The people of the Seven Stars Continent had always thought highly of themselves, let alone a weapons master like Du Yu. All these years, many country’s politicians had offered him a huge annual salary to be their consultant, but he had rejected them with the excuse that he didn’t have time. Moreover, from the way Du Yu had asked the security personnel to reject Feng Qing’s meeting just now, he didn’t take the Xie Corporation seriously at all. Now, he was so polite to Feng Qing. Du Yu was shocked the moment he saw Feng Qing. Although Du Yu was already very restrained, one could still see his excitement.

The corners of Xie Ruoyun’s mouth curled up. Did Du Yu fall for Feng Qing? He didn’t think highly of Madam Xie, but was trying to curry favor with her. Xie Ruoyun and the rest accompanied Feng Qing to sit at the conference table.

Du Yu sat in the middle of the two women. Feng Qing went straight to the point and said, “Mr. Du, your time is precious, so I’ll be frank. I took the liberty to visit this time because I want to ask you to help the Xie Corporation develop controllable nuclear fusion technology. I believe you’ve also heard of the deal between the Xie Corporation and the Xing family. You should know what it means, right? Of course, the Xie Corporation will definitely not let you work for nothing. Just say the conditions.”

Du Yu decisively rejected, “I’m sorry, Madam Xie. Forgive me for not being able to help the Xie Corporation develop it. You also know the current situation. The Seven Stars Continent is conducting a business war with the Xie Corporation. Although I don’t intend to continue staying in the Seven Stars Continent, I won’t go against the Seven Stars Continent for the Xie Corporation. I hope you understand my difficulties.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ruoyun couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Du, I think you’ve misunderstood Young Madam. We mean to invite you to join the Xia Academy of Science, not the Xie Corporation. If you join the Xia Academy of Science, your talent will be maximized there. Moreover, you only need to be responsible for the development of controllable nuclear fusion weapons.”

Speaking up to this point, Xie Ruoyun lit a cigarette for Du Yu and continued, “As everyone knows, although the Seven Stars Continent is at the top of the world, it is originally a part of Xia country and is considered to have the same roots as Xia country. If you’re willing to help Xia country, joining the Xia Academy of Science is undoubtedly the best choice. Moreover, helping Xia country doesn’t violate your loyalty to the Seven Stars Continent.”

As Xie Ruoyun spoke, she lit a cigarette for Du Yu. Feng Qing’s gaze swept across the cigarette expressionlessly. A strange glow flashed across her large eyes. Du Yu held the cigarette in one hand and was about to put it in his mouth when Feng Qing snatched it away. “I’m sorry, Mr. Du. Smoking is harmful to health. It’s best not to smoke.”
