Chapter 73 Buying He Kui
"What were the results of yesterday's test on the anti-beam shield?"

The next day, in front of the May City Music Hall, Su Lei asked curiously.

"It's considered a success."

The final actual machine simulation test barely met the theoretical requirements, but the strength of the shield had decreased significantly due to repeated maintenance.

Although he left this shield on the experimental Xigu in his group.

But its strength is probably only slightly greater than that of the first generation shield.

Anyway, he might make a small profit, but the Design Bureau and the Defense Committee would never lose money.

"Where's the bonus?"

"One hundred thousand, and the others ten thousand."

Is it a lot? It seems to be a lot, but considering his expenses are not small, it is just that.

"Then let's go."

Su Lei said as she swiped her wristband at the security station in front of the door and entered the concert hall smoothly.

Lux’s posters and personal standees were everywhere, and many fans were taking photos with Lux’s standees in front of them.

Men, women, young and old gathered together, which was enough to show that Lux's charm completely ignored all age groups.

“There are so many fans.”

He Kui looked at the large screen in the front hall with admiration.

Lux's new single "Proof of Water" was playing on it.

Lux's singing voice is full of angelic purity and tenderness, making people feel endless peace and happiness.

The clear and bright voice seemed to turn into drops of water, quietly and gently falling on the crystal lake.

Each note turned into bright stars in the night sky, shining with warm light and deeply touching people's hearts.

"First time listening to it?"

"No."

This is the first time I heard it in this world. I don’t know if it’s because of the world’s bonus or if this is the real Lux, but this voice seems to be able to touch the deepest tenderness in people’s hearts.

No wonder Lux is so popular. Even he, who was originally determined not to join the Klein faction, was shaken for a moment.

"That still made me dumbfounded."

As Su Lei spoke, she quietly put her delicate hand around He Kui's arm.

"You can go backstage today because of my special permission."

Without waiting for He Kui to ask questions, Su Lei dragged the person to the backstage of the stage.

At this time, Lux was holding a microphone and talking to the staff in front of her.

After seeing Su Lei, he ended the conversation and walked over.

"You are here."

"Director He, welcome. Congratulations on your recent achievements in anti-beam shields. This will surely help reduce casualties on the front lines."

“That’s our hope.”

As He Kui spoke, he pulled out a flower from his sleeve like a magic trick and handed it to Lux.

“I wish you all the best today, too.”

"Ara~"

Lux took the rose from He Kui's hand with a little surprise, and then smiled.

“You didn’t pick it outside, did you?”

"Pfft."

Su Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard that.

"That's not it."

Seeing that his favorability had finally increased by 2, He Kui's original embarrassment disappeared.

It wasn’t easy, but finally Lux’s favorability level achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 2.

But this is because of what.
Could it be because I just made fun of him?

That's a bit too dark.

While thinking about the possibility that Lux was a pink-cut black, Lux herself continued to speak.

"This is the first time Director He has given me something other than handicrafts. I will cherish it."

"But I like the Eagle, Owl and Haro very much. But if we talk about commemorative value, it's the Haro that Director He gave me when I first came to May City, right?"

"Hello? I didn't send you a hello the last time Ms. Lacus came."

He Kui said doubtfully, and at the same time he laughed bitterly in his heart. This happened so long ago, it's really scary that he still remembers it now.

But I don't regret it.

If PLANT had lost 240,000 people, their lives would certainly be even more difficult now.

If the entire PLANT becomes a revenge machine, they won't even have the right to refuse if someone forces them to do so for the sake of the greater good of PLANT.

"Yeah."

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Lux blinked and just stared at He Kui quietly.

"Um, Ms. Lacus, what do you think about asteroid mining?"

"Asteroid mining? I'm just an idol, Director He."

For some reason, Lux's smile gave He Kui the illusion that she was taking revenge on him by deliberately changing the subject.

"Look, I have an idea for small mobile suit improvements for asteroid mining."

He Kui simply said it directly.

Lux is just an idol?
The gossip on the Internet doesn’t say that. I heard that they have dealings with many private mining companies.

Anyway, the news says that even if Klein is not directly affiliated with those companies, the relationship between them must be inextricable.

Of course, this gossip is like an urban legend to PLANT.

But no matter what, it is true that the Klein faction is rich.

"Small mobile suit?"

“Yes, if you can invest in my research and development, then the profits in the future will definitely be guaranteed!”

He Kui nodded seriously.

"If, as you said, this is a new technology that can improve mining efficiency, then it would be a good thing for everyone in PLANT and even for the world."

He was still thinking about reducing costs and even getting materials for free. What Lux told him about the whole world was a bit too exaggerated.

But no matter what, it's good as long as Lux agrees.

So He Kui, who didn't know what the world would be like, nodded anyway for the sake of his high costs.

“It’s definitely a good thing for the world!”

His waist is definitely broken today!
"In that case, Director Su, please help me take a look."

I was wondering why He Kui came here today. It turned out that he was here to solicit sponsorship. After my curiosity was gone, I took a quick look at it. Not understanding much, Lux put the information in Su Lei's hands.

While handing it over, he leaned over and whispered something in Su Lei's ear, causing the girl's pretty face to turn red again.

"What did Lux ​​just say to you?"

Looking at Su Lei's blush gradually fading, He Kui asked curiously.

"no!"

"However, how did you come up with the idea of ​​asking Miss Lacus for sponsorship?"

Su Lei glared at He Kui shyly and asked.

"I don't have money. The National Defense Committee is so stingy that they can't even find an anti-beam shield. If I don't ask Lux for help, I will never be able to finish this project."

How can we develop without funds? This is not the kind of theory that has been formed in our heads, like the anti-beam shield.

To find the best solution for miniaturizing MS, a lot of trial and error and testing will surely be required.

This is not a transformation of Hello. Even if he threw the hundred thousand dollars in, not even a splash would be made.

Moreover, as the director of the Heilan Design Bureau, it would be impossible for him to attract foreign investment. After much thought, the only people he could attract were the Sara faction and the Klein faction.

"So? Did I pull it this time?"

He Kui asked nervously.

"I still need to take a look. However, as long as it doesn't look like we'll lose money, it's fine. Of course, the specific amount of funding still needs to be negotiated, so don't be too happy!"

That’s not what Lux actually said to her just now. She meant that it’s okay to lose money.

He also asked her to take this opportunity to sign a bet agreement and if the investment didn't pay off, she could just buy He Kui or something like that.

What the hell is this! She is definitely not that kind of person!
"Thank you!"

He Kui felt relieved after hearing this and smiled happily.

"I told you not to be happy so early!"

Su Lei put her hands on her hips and said as if she was acting coquettishly.

"I know, I know. I'm not happy."

"Humph!"
