After signing the contract, Qin stormed out in anger.
Watching the woman's retreating figure, Shasha couldn't help but chuckle. It was good to see a woman who could get so worked up over something. However, he never expected that this incident would have such a negative impact on the Warriors.
Had he ever heard of the Warriors facing a budget crunch? They needed sufficient funds not only to support so many Young Mutants but also for research and development of equipment.
Shasha had always thought that the Warriors were not poor, but today he realized that what he had seen before was merely the surface.
In any case, securing the development of equipment and spacecraft technology for the Warriors meant that progress could be made in collecting Cosmic Rays from outer space.
Initially, Shasha planned to collaborate with the Space Agency, but the terms they offered were simply unacceptable.
After organizing the documents, he called Susan in and handed her the materials while she looked on in confusion.
At first, Susan's expression remained puzzled, but after reviewing the documents, her surprise grew. "What are these?"
Shasha waved his hand dismissively. "Send them to the development department. I want to see a prototype within a month."
Susan composed herself, suppressing her excitement. "Yes, sir."
Just as Susan was about to leave the office, Shasha called out to her, "Wait, Susan."
"Is there anything else, sir?"
"I heard your brother is also a professional in this field. Bring him on board as well."
Susan returned to her office in shock, pondering Shasha's words. Did he want her brother to work at his company? What did that mean? Was it nepotism? How would others perceive this?
Could it be that he was interested in her?
Thinking of this made Susan's face flush slightly. To be honest, she had a very good impression of Shasha. The prerequisites for a man to gain a woman's favor are looks, wealth, and status. With all three attributes, Shasha naturally found it easy to win women's affection.
However, would this be too sudden? It seemed like he wasn't mentally prepared for it yet.
As he left work, his mind was filled with chaotic thoughts. When he got home, his parents were watching TV, while his useless younger brother was holed up in his room playing video games.
“Johnny Blaze, come to my room for a moment. I need to talk to you.”
Upon hearing his sister's call, Johnny Blaze immediately dropped the game controller. Although he was rebellious, he always listened to his sister.
Following her into the room, he felt her strange gaze scrutinizing him, making him uncomfortable. “Hey sis, you didn’t call me in here just to gawk at me like I’m some kind of animal, did you?”
“You don’t look like someone who’s into research either,” Susan sighed.
Johnny Blaze scoffed at her words. “I have no interest in research. Living in the present is much more comfortable. It’s better than being an old virgin like Reed at his age.”
Susan raised an eyebrow at him. “So you’re saying that makes me an old maid?”
Johnny Blaze quickly laughed it off. “Of course not! My sister is way too charming for that.”
At this point, he squinted playfully. “Honestly, has your boss been charmed by you?”
Hearing Johnny Blaze mention this made Susan's expression turn strange. “Let’s get to the point. Our boss wants you to join my project.”
Johnny Blaze was taken aback. “Your boss wants me to join their company’s project? What does that even mean? Are they hiring me? I’m not exactly famous; why would they want me?”
“I’ve been wondering the same thing. In this project, both Reed and Ben are top talents in the industry, but you…” Susan had a pained expression.
Johnny Blaze flushed and immediately argued back, “Am I not talented? I graduated with excellent grades! Sure, I didn’t get a PhD title.”
“Right, you know your grades are good. So who is it that dresses like a thug and hangs out with those heavily made-up women?” Susan reprimanded him without holding back.
Johnny Blaze had no way to refute this. After a moment of silence, he suddenly changed the subject. “In situations like this, it’s usually because your boss has a crush on you. Otherwise, why would they randomly mention my name?”
Hearing her brother's analysis, Susan felt a bit flustered. "What should I do? I suddenly feel a little awkward."
Seeing his usually strong-willed sister in such a state, he teased her, "What's so embarrassing about it? I've heard about your boss—young, handsome, wealthy, and high-ranking. Where else are you going to find such a great guy? If it were me, he's a hundred times better than Reed."
"That's true, but I'm just not mentally prepared for it right now." Susan ran her fingers through her golden hair, looking distressed.
After three years of being single, everything had passed. Even starting a new romantic relationship didn't seem like a big deal. However, she had never considered this aspect when she suddenly received Shasha's affection.
"Alright then, if you're too shy about it, I'll help you tomorrow," Johnny Blaze provocatively suggested.
"Absolutely not! I will handle this myself!" Susan warned Johnny Blaze seriously. "Don't mess things up for me, understand? Right now, everything is just speculation."
Johnny Blaze shrugged at her words; it wasn't like he was the one making the decisions anyway.
