It seemed that Su Bai’s thoughts were conveyed to Su Yun’er.
Su Yun’er smiled and said, “The Beastmaster Association and the military have a cooperative relationship. This incident is also a military matter.”
However, Su Bai was a bit curious about one thing, ‘Since Han Zhengzhi could extend his influence so far, did it mean that he had some connections with the military?’
But now, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Su Bai. He didn’t want to delve into it too much. However, since he had promised the Paris family, he naturally had to provide materials for them first.
Moreover, Olive and Yan Yi were already working on creating weapons for the Paris Family.
Su Bai didn’t really want to think about Han Zhengzhi’s situation, so he asked directly, “How long will this order take?”
Seeing that Su Bai had relaxed, Su Yun’er also felt relieved and asked, “Can you make it in a week?”
Su Bai shook his head. Even if he worked day and night making robots, he probably wouldn’t be able to complete it that quickly. Moreover, tanks and reconnaissance vehicles couldn’t be created in a short period.
Most importantly, Su Bai didn’t want to deal with alchemical matters right now. On top of that, he had to produce 200 handguns, which would take about half a month. The fifty weapons for the Paris Family alone would take a week.
Su Bai rubbed his chin and thought that the Paris Family was indeed a bit leisurely about this matter. He looked at Yan Xuan and asked, “For 5 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicles, 2 Airdrop Tanks, and 100 Machine Guns and Rifles each, how long do you need?”
Su Bai thought Yan Xuan’s work speed was definitely faster than Olive and Yan Yi’s. So, Su Bai directly brought the two of them over and asked, “These are the weapon blueprints. How long do you need?”
Su Yun’er noticed that Yan Yi didn’t have any reaction. Su Bai noticed that when Su Yun’er looked at Olive, her eye twitched slightly. It seemed like Su Yun’er had a headache.
Olive’s lips also loosened, and she looked at Su Bai with a guilty expression. Seeing that Su Bai didn’t react, she turned her gaze to Yan Yi.
“Perhaps two weeks?” Olive asked.
Yan Yi thought for a moment and said, “That’s feasible.”
Su Bai said to Su Yun’er, “We have another order that we’ve also promised to complete in a week. Since you’re our second order, it will be delayed by a week. So, a total of three weeks is needed.”
Su Bai nodded and agreed, “How do you feel about that, Miss?”
Su Yun’er elegantly picked up the teacup from the table. She took a sip lightly and said, “I’m Su Yun’er, and that’s quite a long time. Han Zhengzhi might take action against them.”
Su Yun’er’s finger tapped the table as if weighing the pros and cons.
Su Bai grinned, revealing his white, shiny teeth, which oddly captivated Su Yun’er. He suggested, “Then how about you hire us? We can protect the village, but that comes at a different price.”
Su Yun’er’s corner of her mouth twitched and thought, ‘If it weren’t for wanting to cooperate with Su Bai, I really wanted to turn around and leave. I was very aware of Su Bai’s strengths and values. Even Miss Olive, who was beside Su Bai, was refining herself under his guidance. This indicated Su Bai’s true strength. If Su Bai were to demand a sky-high price right now, I might still have accepted it reluctantly.’
Su Yun’er pretended to contemplate for a while before finally giving her answer. She said, “That’s acceptable. Let’s have pleasant cooperation.”
Su Bai was quite pleased with this outcome. He reached out his hand and said, “A pleasant cooperation.”
Su Yun’er’s arrival successfully made Su Bai forget about Han Zhengzhi. After all, Su Bai hadn’t initially considered Han Zhengzhi to be a major concern.
After taking on this order, Su Bai followed Yan Xuan and the others to the laboratory.
When Olive saw Su Bai, she was frightened for a moment and asked, “Boss, why did you come with us?”
Su Bai found it a bit amusing and thought Olive had started using honorifics because of her guilty conscience.
Su Bai waved his hand and said, “You guys continue with your work. I’ll just make something simple.”
It wasn’t anything big, actually. Mainly because Su Bai had received a significant amount of money from Su Yun’er and orders from the Paris Family.
He didn’t really care about these small items now and didn’t want to bother with them either. He was just going to create a flight surveillance alarm. Once something approached, it would directly alert them.
Seeing that Su Bai wasn’t here for her, Olive felt relieved.
But looking at her, Yan Yi felt that something was off. He said, “Why do you suddenly seem like you’re hiding some major secret from us?”
Olive was momentarily speechless from being cornered. Especially after seeing Su Yun’er, Olive really didn’t know how to start the conversation.
Olive worried that Su Yun’er would expose her identity and that made Olive a bit anxious. Fortunately, Su Bai didn’t seem interested in pursuing it. She finally relaxed.
“What major secret could I have?” Olive asked.
Yan Yi clicked his tongue and said, “Seeing you like this, it’s like you’re a spy from the enemy. But if you don’t want to say it, I’ll pay you double to spill it.” “Huh? You’re the spy here, your whole family are spies!” Olive said.
Yan Xuan glanced at them, feeling that both of them were a bit childish. He couldn’t help but push up his glasses. In fact, Yan Xuan had some suspicions about Olive at the beginning. When Su Bai asked about Han Zhengzhi, her understanding of him showed that her identity was indeed not ordinary.
The reason Yan Xuan trusted Olive was that Su Bai trusted her. Since Su Bai wasn’t going to investigate Olive and hadn’t told her anything, Yan Xuan wouldn’t pursue it either.
In short, Yan Xuan wholeheartedly wanted to follow Su Bai. Naturally, he knew who the boss was, as well as the boss’s vision and judgment. What worried Yan Xuan most was Yan Yi’s love life.
Everyone could tell that Yan Yi clearly had other intentions toward Olive. Of course, she didn’t notice.
Yan Yi looked at Olive with some dissatisfaction and said, “Tsk tsk, whether it is or not, you’re clearly guilty. Spill the beans, what earth-shattering secret are you hiding?”
Olive rolled her eyes and occasionally glanced at Su Bai’s direction. She said, “What earth-shattering secret could I possibly have? Besides, if I were to tell you, would it still be called an earth-shattering secret?”
Yan Yi wanted to say more, but Yan Xuan directly threw the blueprints between them and said, “While you’ve been talking, you could have already made a gun. Although you have a week, are you really planning to wait until the end of the week to work on the fifty guns?”
Olive stuck her tongue out and focused all her attention on the blueprints.
Yan Yi just glanced at Olive. Then he also got busy.
Su Bai held the flight surveillance alarm in his hand, very satisfied. “I’m going out for a bit,” Su Bai said to Yan Xuan and the others..
