Chapter 615: Important Decisions at the Breakfast Meeting Regarding Selvie's Emotional Issues
The next morning, Xu Weiwei woke up and fell into a panic of losing her sense of time. She sat up suddenly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the time on the clock. She lay back down and stretched.
Eight o'clock, still early—actually not too early.
The research center starts work at nine o'clock, and an hour to wash up and have breakfast is just right.
But she's the boss, so no one would say anything if she had more flexibility during work hours, right? Tsk...it doesn't seem possible today.
Xu Weiwei suddenly remembered that today was the day for new members to "report" and it would not be good to be late.
She had sifted through all the applications for the "Professor Class," taking into account Zhang Peter's suggestions, and ultimately selected five people. This, combined with the three existing experts at the research center, would allow each person to lead a small group.
But it is not an easy task to attract people of this level.
They have an employment relationship with the school, so it is difficult to decide what kind of contract the research center should sign, how long it should last, and the issues of authorship of results and distribution of benefits, which are the most likely to cause disputes in the future.
Deciding to take it seriously, Xu Weiwei didn't waste any more time getting up and getting ready. She chose a slightly more formal outfit, braided her hair, and tied it up at the back of her head, adorning it with a bow. It looked sophisticated without being too mature.
Beta turned around, looked at her with bright eyes, then suddenly jumped up and licked her chin.
Xu Weiwei patted its head, got up and went downstairs to have breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom and Dad, good morning, brother."
"Are you awake? I saw you go to bed so early yesterday, and I thought you must be tired, so I told Meilin not to wake you today." Mrs. Sivers said with a smile.
Kane had finished eating and leisurely drank a sip of hot tea to clear his mouth before asking, "Are you busy at work today?"
"Busy." Xu Weiwei answered directly.
While eating, she turned on her computer to see if there were any important notifications from Star News.
Because there were too many people joining, including patients, patients' families, colleagues, classmates, etc., there were more than ten groups alone. Xu Weiwei, who originally could not stand the sight of red dots, could now endure it.
Among the many unread reminders, the letter from "sister-in-law" was locked first.
After reading it, she immediately invited a call. Without waiting, the other party quickly picked up and switched the call to a video call.
Xu Weiwei clicked to agree, and Finn's image appeared on the 45-inch light screen in the void, and he happened to be sitting in front of the dining table.
"I checked the time and figured you must be awake."
Xu Weiwei didn't stop eating while talking. She ate one mouthful after another, her cheeks stuffed with food, and she didn't care about her image at all.
Kane looked over curiously, but due to privacy protection, he could only see a snowflake.
"I went to bed early yesterday and just saw your message. What do you mean by stretching your muscles?"
The voice of the good brother sounded——
"Some of the First Army's equipment and locations are quite interesting. I thought since you haven't been here yet, you might be interested."
Xu Weiwei showed some interest: "What are they? Bio-type mechas and 'Dark Warriors'?"
Finn was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised. These two things had never been made public, not even to the people of the Empire, let alone the Federal Republic. When asked, they were simply described as "under development," yet the technology was already very mature.
But if "General Wolfhard's son" can be contacted, then "General Sievers' daughter" can certainly be too.
"Have you seen them all?" Finn said helplessly.
"Not only have I seen it, Wei'er has also played with it." Kane stood up, walked around the table to the opposite side, and put his arm on the back of the chair behind his sister.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but do you look down on our family or something?" Kane said pretending to be dissatisfied.
Xu Weiwei quickly brought the topic back on track: "I haven't played it often, and my skills are very poor. I've always wanted to learn it again when I have the chance. But I'm not sure if I have the time today."
"I have time, why don't you call me? It just so happens that you still have an opponent, right?" Kane stood in front of his sister and got so close to the screen that he almost got into it.
Xu Weiwei pushed him away: "Brother! You're blocking my way while I eat!"
"Alright, then I'll go with Kane. You go ahead and get busy. If you get off work early, send me a message and I'll have someone pick you up."
"Yeah." Xu nodded slightly.
After the video call ended, Kane finally stood up straight, his face sour, and he said dissatisfiedly, "It sounds so reluctant. Who begged him? And he still said 'okay'."
It's illogical for a good friend to ask his sister out alone. Is asking someone of the opposite sex out for the sole purpose of entertainment and recreation truly friendship? Does what he said before still hold true?
Kane was upset, but Xu Weiwei interpreted his reactions as jealousy.
"Don't be angry, brother. Finn must trust you to do this. He knows that with your relationship, he will definitely go if he asks you to. I am just a bystander."
Kane swallowed his words with a complicated expression. His sister clearly hadn't realized it yet, so he couldn't point it out.
"You're right. Eat slowly and don't rush." He brought the soup to Xu Weiwei and changed the subject.
"No, talking for a while will delay my work. I can't let the elders wait for me."
Xu Weiwei glanced at the time, quickly drank two mouthfuls of soup, swallowed the food in her mouth, took out a steamed dumpling with fresh meat and water chestnut filling, stuffed it into her mouth, and then hurried out.
Kane watched her disappear completely, then turned around and glanced at the rest of the people at the table. He hesitated and said, "Do you feel...that is..."
"Do you think Finn has a crush on Ver?" Mrs. Sivers asked directly.
Kane clapped his hands: "Yes! That's what I mean! It seems I'm not the only one, it's not my illusion!"
"What?! Finn likes Vera?!" Ryan almost choked.
"I asked him clearly once before, I think it was when Wei'er just came back, but he didn't admit it. Now it's becoming increasingly difficult to hide the fox's tail." Kane said angrily.
"It's not necessarily that he lied to you. Maybe what he said was true. He didn't feel anything at the time, but he slowly fell in love with her later. If you don't believe me, ask him again now, and the answer might be different."
Mrs. Seaforth smiled, showing no sign of objection.
"Mom?! Y-you don't object?"
"I object!" Ryan stood up and raised his hands high.
"Weier is so outstanding, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone fell in love with her. Besides, she's getting older, so it's only a matter of time before she meets love. I really can't find any fault with Finn's words."
"But Wei'er is still so young!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I've talked to him. Before Wei'er turns 18, she can't reveal her true feelings, let alone do anything that crosses the line. He agreed, signed a letter of commitment, and also recorded a video. These two documents have been notarized by the Imperial Star Hengxin Notary Office. If he breaches the contract, he will not only be morally condemned, but may also be involved in some lawsuits." Ryan said very calmly.
Kane: “?!?!?!”
These words were like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake. Everyone present was stunned and froze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"When?!" Kane slammed his hand on the table.
"At the beginning of this year, not long after the Spring Festival."
"So early?!"
"Such a big thing, and you actually kept it a secret from us for so long!"
The Seaforths looked at each other.
Who does this child look like?
I don't understand, maybe it's a genetic mutation.
"So, we just don't care?" Kane asked confusedly.
Everyone's eyes turned to the patriarch, Sifos, waiting for his decision.
Sifos frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Ryan has always been cautious in his actions. As long as we don't alert the enemy, this is the only way for now."
"Relax and don't make a big deal out of it. Wei'er is so ambitious and devoted to her work. I think it's still a long way to go for her."
"If it really comes to that, are we going to lock her up? She has the right to love freely. We need to be open-minded parents, not authoritarian ones. Otherwise, we'll only push her further away."
"Don't you have the confidence to support her?"
"of course not!"
"That's right. Okay, there's nothing more to say. Just go do what you need to do."
After saying this, Sifos got up and went upstairs.
After a while, the housekeeper received a summons saying that the gym needed cleaning.
After the two maids went up, they were stunned where they stood: This doesn’t need cleaning, this needs redecorating... Has the house been attacked by terrorists again?
