"Uh, I didn't call you..." Su Yu could not help wiping away his sweat.
He had only casually used an idiom, never expecting it to be so inappropriate.
He could not say that again in the future, or Chancellor Cao would probably be unhappy.
Su Yu quickly connected Donna's video call and got straight to the point. "Senior Sister Donna, what did Sheng Ge say?"
Donna's tone was strange. "Sheng Ge only replied with one word."
"What word? Was it the name of some cutting-edge defensive technology?"
Su Yu was already imagining Sheng Ge giving them the most advanced defensive technology. He had even thought about how they would use it.
"No, Sheng Ge said a very ordinary word."
"What was it?"
"'No.'" Donna answered, "Sheng Ge's reply contained only that one word—'no.'"
Su Yu: "..."
It was not just Su Yu who was speechless. Zhong Feng and Tina, standing beside him, as well as Chancellor Cao, who was monitoring the situation, all wore equally speechless expressions.
Was Sheng Ge not being far too willful? Why did she sound like a tsundere girlfriend?
"Uh..." Su Yu took quite a while to react before asking, "Did Sheng Ge really say that?"
"Of course. Do you think I'm so bored that I'd tease you?" Donna rolled her eyes at him. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I'll contact you again if anything comes up."
With that, Donna directly ended the call.
Looking at the vanished video call interface, Su Yu remained speechless for a long while.
After quite some time, during which his expression changed several times, he finally sighed. "Sigh, it looks like we can only accept it."
Sheng Ge was the highest arbiter. If she said no, then it was no, and there was nothing they could do.
