Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 26 - 12: Envious

"What do you mean?" With colleagues around, Fei Yi didn’t want others to know, "We’re not working overtime today; let’s finish work now. I’ll tell you something first, and we can report to the boss when he’s back tomorrow."

Fei Yi was all mysterious, and she couldn’t contain the joy in her eyes. Wu Xiao immediately chose to leave work together, and they found a private restaurant to have dinner.

After they ordered and made sure no waitstaff would come in, Fei Yi told her best friend about her communication with Su Xiaocai today.

"What? Three thousand specs..." Wu Xiao’s mouth was covered by Fei Yi.

"Don’t say it so loudly."

Wu Xiao whispered, "Was the surprise really that sudden? Could it be that the adults... pfft, pfft, if I achieved something this big, I wouldn’t dare hand it to a kid. Without enough knowledge, it’s just a joke."

"Yeah, who would’ve thought. We’re adults and even a regular position gives us headaches, yet her career has just started and she’s soaring," Fei Yi sighed.

"Kids these days are amazing," Wu Xiao sincerely praised, happy for Fei Yi, as life is full of twists and turns. If this deal is closed, Fei Yi will surely become an officially practicing lawyer.

Fei Yi glared at her, "I don’t allow you to speak like that about our bread and butter." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Our?" Wu Xiao eagerly said, "So, are you planning to bring me in on this?"

"Yes, when the boss calls for help, since from the start they found me as the assistant, the helpers can’t be other lawyers. Else, it would mean bypassing me for the task, and the boss isn’t that unreasonable."

Wu Xiao excitedly hugged Fei Yi, "Sister, thank you. In wealth and honor, never forget each other. From now on, you’re my goddess."

Fei Yi: "..."

Wu Xiao: "It’s your decisiveness that led to such a big deal. Here’s to the future big lawyer. Should I order a bottle of beer to celebrate?"

"No, the alcohol here is so expensive. Let’s buy a couple of cans from the convenience store and drink at my place."

"You’re savvy with money."

"Please call me practical, thank you."

After sharing with her best friend, the slightly floating Fei Yi felt grounded.

They didn’t drink much at night, just talked and dreamed of the future.

In the end, Wu Xiao stayed over, and the two headed to work together.

The next day, Fei Yi calmly reported to Zhang Rui Kai.

Zhang Rui Kai was stunned halfway through hearing it, feeling not much calmer than Fei Yi did when she first found out.

After Fei Yi finished reporting, he instructed, "Do your best, and remember to arrange a meeting with Miss Su. Let’s have our expert team evaluate and submit to the patent office as soon as possible."

"Understood, thank you for your support, boss."

Zhang Rui Kai nodded, and Fei Yi left his office.

After the door closed, Zhang Rui Kai looked at some of Su Xiaocai’s briefing materials again, and decided to call an old friend to ask about the situation.

So secretive, didn’t reveal a thing—want to see his shocked reaction, perhaps.

Hardly had Zhang Rui Kai made the call when the other side answered.

In the temperature-controlled room repotting rare plants, Daddy Su quickly put down the pot, adjusted his voice to sound calm, "Busy man, how do you have time to call me?"

"Tsk, nowhere near as busy as you, the great farmer. We all said you’d spoil your daughter and might end up with an ungrateful child. We were all wrong. Be honest with me, how’s that mechanical arm working?"

"Hahaha," his old friend praised, and Daddy Su grinned from ear to ear, proudly saying, "It works great, feels like I actually regrew an arm. Not only durable but also very stable, now I can repair mechas by myself again."

Since being able to repair mechas alone, Daddy Su’s mental and physical state improved significantly; he looked years younger.

"Let me tell you, my daughter researched this specially for me; for this arm, I could’ve raised her forever."

Showing off to the point where Zhang Rui Kai felt his teeth ache, "Your girl cherishes you, you should be proud. You spoiled her, bought her anything, no problem. If I had such a smart daughter, I’d do the same."

"I didn’t spoil her, you just haven’t seen how naughty she is..." chattered Daddy Su, and Zhang Rui Kai heitui’d and hung up the phone.

As if he doesn’t have a daughter.

Thinking of his ten-year-old daughter at home, the comparison made her seem so ordinary.

As a father who dotes on his daughter, Zhang Rui Kai felt even more bittersweet; others’ daughters already cherish their dads, while his is still obsessed with cartoons. The difference was distinct.

So sour, even a lemon isn’t this sour!

All he could do was earn more money to help his daughter succeed among ordinary people.
