Behind every successful man, there would always be a few extremely outstanding secretaries.
As the saying went, "You go to the sea of flowers, I go to the sea of fire. You go to the parliament mountain, I go to the mountain of knives. You go to the high and mighty, I will be the scapegoat, I will do the dirty things, I will be the one to pull those stupid fingers, I will be the one to kill those annoying people, and I can't let you know." This was the function of a secretary.
Today, Xu Le was still 420 light years away from success, but he already had a secretary by his side called Bai Yulan. She was submissive but extremely useful.
For a successful person like Li Xiuzhu, the young master of the Li family, the vice president of the Sanlin United Bank, he would naturally have many secretaries. Secretary Lu was the one with the highest rank and the most trusted.
Secretary Lu, who was not by Li Xiuzhu's side, was an important figure in the Federation's financial world. He was a high-ranking officer in the company and had an enviable life. Today was still the summer holiday. He was on vacation with his beautiful wife and obedient daughter in the demonstration ecological park in the outskirts of the capital.
With a clear pond in front and a happy family in the garden behind, Secretary Lu stole half a day of leisure. He covered his face with a straw hat to block the rays of sunlight that leaked in through the bamboo canopy. The fishing rod in front of him bobbed up and down quietly on the surface of the water. He didn't care at all about the fish stealing food.
A phone call disturbed his peace. Secretary Lu took off his straw hat and quietly listened to the report on the other end of the phone. His expression gradually became serious.
That technical supervisor called Xu Le had gone to Hong Kong. The two subordinates in charge of tracking and surveillance had suddenly lost contact. They didn't know where that fellow had gone.
Secretary Lu was silent for a moment. Then, he made a few more calls and arranged some things. Many days had passed since the incident at the Husk Institute's laboratory. Everyone believed that no one else would be able to know the data from the laboratory. The young master of the Li family had almost forgotten about Xu Le, but he hadn't. This was because he had discovered that Xu Le and the seventh young master had been getting closer recently.
It was said that the Nutshell Engineering Department was also speeding up the development of new mecha. Now that Xu Le was going to Harbor City, what did it mean? Secretary Lu's expression was somewhat dignified, but his heart was not as solemn as he appeared to be. In his opinion, Xu Le followed Professor Shen, and perhaps he had some knowledge in the field of quantum measurable dynamics, which was why he was valued by the Nutshell Engineering Department. However, this should not affect the overall situation.
The two subordinates who had lost contact with him were too far below Secretary Lu's level, so he was not worried about them. He was just wondering if this was a warning from the Tai family, the Ministry of National Defense, or the Nutshell Engineering Department?
After pondering for a moment, Secretary Lu decided to leave this matter to him. He was not an ordinary secretary. No matter how big or small the matter was, he had to leave it to Li Xiuzhu to handle. He had his own authority. Most importantly, he knew that Young Master Li had already boarded the family's private spaceship and was rushing to District S2 to comfort the innocent idol who had been affected by the terrorist attack.
Secretary Lu knew how much the Young Master valued the person who had been chosen by the family, so he did not want this kind of bad news to disturb the Young Master's extremely angry mood.
He made a phone call and gave some important instructions to his subordinates in Harbor City. Secretary Lu lay back on the bamboo chair and covered his straw hat. He listened to the laughter of his family behind him and listened to the faint sound of the fish stealing food in front of him. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Harbor City was a huge city. Its economy was extremely developed. Especially on the large plain towards the south of the city, there were countless factory buildings. These buildings were spread out neatly on the land, and they occupied a large area. Although the Federation's heavy manufacturing industry had been gradually moved to District S2 many years ago, the foundation of the high precision manufacturing industry was still in Jingzhou, in Harbor City.
An inconspicuous truck left the highway and drove directly towards an industrial park. The industrial park did not have a strict gate, and there was no eye-catching name. There was only a row of large words cast on a green hill in the distance.
The hill was very far away, and the row of large words was as high as a 20-story building. All of them were cast from high-strength alloys. The cold metallic luster revealed a sense of grandeur of a small world.
"Where there is metal, there will be fruit shells."
…
…
The truck followed the spacious passage and drove at high speed in the industrial park. A plane could be faintly seen landing in the distance. That was the industrial airport of the Shell Motor Company. From the airport to the Federation's largest spaceport – Harbor City Spaceport, there was a complete transportation network formed by a dedicated road and a double-track high-speed railway.
Countless resources and technical personnel from all over the Federation gathered in this huge industrial park in the southern suburbs of Harbor City through this convenient transportation.
Xu Le sat in the back of the truck. He lifted the dustproof cloth covering the window and silently looked at the huge factory building in front of him from time to time. The heavy and huge mechanical equipment in front of him could not help but be a little lost. He was one of the employees of the Shell Motor Company. It was just that in the past, he dealt with data in the research institute, and then he spent his days in the Whitewater Company. Today was actually the first time he had truly entered the manufacturing department of the Shell Motor Company. Only by seeing this industrial park with his own eyes could he truly feel the position of the Shell Motor Company in the Federation, and the huge power of this motor company.
"The automobile manufacturing business was all moved to District S2 13 constitutional calendars ago. But later, because of the increase in the cost of interplanetary travel, a part of the automobile manufacturing business was moved back to District S1."
"In the southwest corner is the Shell Aerospace Manufacturing Group, also known as the First Flight Bureau of the Federation. It is mainly used to manufacture aircrafts in the atmosphere."
"The spaceship manufacturing factory is not in Harbor City, but in Nevada. If you include the assembly base on Moon 1, the total area is slightly larger than the industrial park here in Harbor City."
"The civilian goods manufacturing company, which is often referred to as the Shell Motor Company, is concentrated in South Dakota. The direction of business in Harbor City is mainly cars and airplanes. About 30% of the Federation's self-made equipment is assembled in this industrial park. "
"Jingzhou's GDP last year exceeded 5 trillion Federation dollars, ranking first among all the state-level administrative regions in the Federation, and Harbor City accounted for a share of 3.4 trillion. Of this 3.4 trillion, the Shell Motor Company provided 27% of it, which is the industrial park you see now. "
Bai Yulan softly played the role of a secretary. To be precise, she was originally Xu Le's secretary.
"The mecha manufacturing department is a top secret of the Federation. No one knows that it is also hidden in this industrial park." Bai Yulan softly said, "But in fact, the Federation's secrecy measures have always been a bit of self-deception. Since the Shell Motor Company is here, the mecha will naturally be here as well."
"Understood." Xu Le nodded, expressing his gratitude to Bai Yulan for her explanation.
During their tour, the truck drove away from the main area of the industrial park and drove inconspicuously towards an ordinary warehouse. When the truck drove into the warehouse, the rusty door immediately closed.
A building that looked like an underground parking lot appeared in front of them, but the further down they went, the more unusual it felt. This underground parking lot had too many parking spaces and was too deep, but there were too few parked cars.
The truck stopped, and Xu Le and Bai Yulan walked out, dragging a heavy black leather case. Xue Naiyin, who was disguised as the truck driver, said to the two, "This is as far as I can go. Inside is a top secret of the Federation. I can't go in."
Xu Le nodded and watched the truck leave. Entering the industrial park from the port city and arriving at the periphery of the engineering department seemed simple, but if it weren't for Xue Naiyin's arrangements, he and Bai Yulan would have been stopped in the middle of the industrial park or shot to death by automatic firearms.
There was no one in the dark underground parking lot. Xu Le and Bai Yulan were like two tourists who had been dropped off on a desert road. In this empty underground space, they looked lonely and helpless.
Right at this moment, the sound of a freight elevator rang out beside them. After the elevator door opened, two people appeared.
Xu Le walked in and extended his hand to shake Zhou Yu's hand. Then, he noticed the person behind Zhou Yu who looked like an official. He looked familiar, but it was fine as long as he wasn't that insincere Severed Finger, Supervisor Hao.
"I'm Jose. We met during the spring recruitment."
The freight elevator started to descend at high speed. The official in the elevator silently looked at Xu Le for a long time before he opened his mouth and said,
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances. Your authority in the research institute has been stripped. As a third-level technical supervisor of the Whitewater Company, you can't enter the core area of the engineering department. Your request not only violated the internal regulations of the Shell Motor Company, but also violated the laws of the Federation. "
Xu Le recognized this senior supervisor of the Shell Motor Company. During the spring recruitment exam, it was this official who had interviewed him. Although the two didn't say much, Xu Le knew that the other party had always been kind to him. Therefore, he didn't mind the tone of the other party, but he didn't want to let the other party continue.
"I don't want temporary authority. I want long-term authority." He looked into Jose's eyes and said seriously.
"Impossible. Although the core data you provided is important, it's not enough for an important place like the engineering department to open its doors for you, "said Jose.
"No one knows how far the Empire's new mecha research has progressed, so the Federation needs time," said Xu Le calmly with his head lowered.
"The Federal Academy of Science is already ahead of the engineering department, so you also need time."
"I can assure you that the Federal Academy of Science has no way to solve the problem of the electron jets."
"I can help you solve this problem in the shortest amount of time."
"So the Federation needs me …"
"And you need me even more."
The high-speed descent of the elevator gave first-timers a sense of dizziness. However, Xu Le's calm speech was so clear and direct that it made José and Zhou Yu, the HR manager of the engineering department, feel slightly dizzy.
Xu Le finally said, "My conditions remain the same. Other than what I said before, I want long-term authority to enter the engineering department and full control of the MX mecha."
The elevator doors opened.
