Lazily Yours.

Chapter 389: Nothing But the CEO's wife

He was definitely trying to bribe her with food this time. However, Lyca refused to bow down.

She nodded and accepted the cookies without saying anything. Then she continued eating.

"Now that Shen Security already won the competition, people are starting to inquire about your plans for the company." Old Man Chu said. He tried his best to stop the current awkward situation. "People are interested in other gadgets that Shen Security is going to make in the future. I already talked to Mr. Shen this morning and thought of having an exhibit to gain more investors. The aim is to show some of the gadgets that the Shen Security invented."

"Oh," Lyca nodded. Talking about these things is so dull. She wanted to find a place to just hide and just eat her food silently.

"The potential of the weapons is endless. Right now, international relations are not as good as ten years ago. For instance, Du Empire and our Xu Country's relations are not very good. It may look good on the outside, but it's in a very fragile state. One mistake and war would erupt anytime."

Lyca lowered her head as she listened to Xu Jihan's words.

"Aside from this, our relationship with Xiaojing Royals from Xiaojing sect is not very good either. We are surrounded by potential enemies. War hasn't erupted because the power between the three continents is equal. Once the power dynamics between the three countries change, a war would immediately follow."

Lyca nodded inwardly. When she arrived in this world, she instantly studied geography and familiarized herself with the countries, empires, and leaders. In this world, there are a total of eight big continents. The Xu Country is not even considered one of the biggest of these continents. The most significant two are Plaria and Sceastein. Both have powerful armies and good leaders. They are rich not just in the economy but also in resources.

Next is Kaplon, a country known for its intelligence and innovations. They were the first to travel in space and the first to create an innovative weapon. This is also where she had some of her education.

The fourth is Achines, a place known for its forest. It had a big, mostly unexplored forest that covered most of the country.

The fifth is Agrus. It was located in the northern part of Xu Country. The people in Agrus loved peace and religion. They are peace-loving people who avoided war and conflict. However, they are considered an impoverished continent because most of Agrus has snow. Not many people chose to stay in this cold and wet place.

The sixth is Xu Country, where Lyca was staying. The seventh is Du Empire. They put most of their national budget on their military and economy, and the last is called Xiaojing. It was a country with multiple nations. They were lead by Xiaojing Royals from a nation call Xiaojing Sect. This is a rich country because of their oils, but they are located in a desert.

Du Empire, Xu Country, and Xiaojing are neighbors, and their relationship is good on the outside. However, the tension between these three countries is increasing day by day.

Lyca is not an expert in national relations, so she doesn't know why this is happening. However, she knew that this has something to do with some terrorists hailing from Xiaojing.

"What do you think of this, Miss Huang?"

Lyca lifted her eyes and looked at Xu Jihan. "I don't know."

"Hm? You mean you don't know? Or you are not interested to know?"

She wanted to say both but ended up saying, "I am too lazy to know." If she wanted to know more about politics, she would have taken some international relations courses back in college. But this does not interest her at all.

Lyca thought it was very complicated. Her brains won't be able to take the scheming.

"Interesting," Xu Jihan smiled. Or at least, he looked like he was smiling. On the inside, he was already frowning. Xu Jihan had traveled in and out of the country. He met different types of people, different cultures, and personalities.

However, not one of them would tell him that they were too lazy to know about politics. Most women would pretend to know, some would offer their opinion, and most men would always tell him what they think about the matter.

This was actually the first time that someone told him they are too lazy to know! This made him unable to respond. It was because he didn't really know how to react!

"Well, youngsters nowadays are really different. They don't mind about topics like this anymore. Miss Lyca is not someone interested in politics. She is an inventor." Old Man Chu laughed. "Topics like this should be for people like us."

"" Xu Jihan didn't know what to say.

The old man was saying this to help him out. However, he felt that Old Man Chu is actually calling him old. Was he really that old? Xu Jihan was only thirty-two! He wasn't that old, alright!

"Heh, actually, I have met investors before, and I agree with Old Man Chu. Most of them don't really care about politics." He gave a peal of awkward laughter before he drank his tea. "Anyway, as I was saying, the current state of weaponry in the country is not promising. So, I wanted to cooperate with Shen Security. I want to know if you are interested in any cooperation with Xu Country?"

"Well " Old Man Chu coughed. "I am actually not "

"No need to worry about the production cost. We would give you the best materials and even create a special lab for you. What do you think?"

"I "

"Actually" Xu Jihan interrupted the old man. "I would like to know about Miss Huang's opinion about this matter." He turned his head towards Lyca. "What do you think?"

Lyca rolled her eyes inwardly. "Mr. Xu I don't understand why my opinion is needed about this cooperation. I am not working on this project. I am only here to cheer for my husband. I'm sure you already know this, but I am nothing but the CEO's wife."
