A Turn for the Better

On the other side.

The Nie Family Head and the Bai Family Head sat together chatting idly.

The Nie Family Head was a wiry little old man, and when he got excited, the blood vessels on his neck bulged out, and his whole face turned red.

"My eldest grandson died just like that, even the President can't stop an old man's anger."

The Bai Family Head was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, wearing black leather gloves, his hands clenched into fists, placed on his crossed legs.

He said leisurely: "That person stripped my son naked and threw him in the lake, which hurt the Bai Family's reputation."

"Please tell me your thoughts, after all, you are the House Lord of the Nine Houses, and I still hope you can stand up," the little old man said, looking at him.

"How about this, as long as that kid is no longer under the President's protection, our Bai Family can deal with him," the Bai Family Head said.

The Nie Family Head stared deeply at the other party and asked, "Why are you planning to take action? Don't lie to me, I'm already halfway into my coffin, little tricks are useless."

The Bai Family Head smiled and said, "According to my intelligence, that kid may have produced some very good scientific research results."

He sighed and said, "Our Bai Family has already researched it. According to Federation law, as long as he is alive, this achievement can only belong to him alone."

The Nie Family Head narrowed his eyes and said, "That's really selfish, are you unhappy about it?"

"I'm not happy."

"But what method do you have to get your hands on this scientific research achievement that has alarmed the President?"

The Bai Family Head spread his hands and said, "We can talk about the specifics."

A full half hour passed.

The Nie Family Head left satisfied.

The Bai Family Head lit a cigar, took a few puffs, and suddenly said, "Someone."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Arrange people to watch the Nie Family. When they succeed, quickly exterminate the entire family, leaving no one alive."

"Yes."

President's office.

Everyone had left, even Martial Saint Zhang Zongyang had left, leaving only the President and Gu Qingshan.

"With your age, I think you should continue your studies, right?" the President asked.

"Are you talking about going to university? I have no objections," Gu Qingshan said.

The President nodded and said, "Although I recognized you as my adopted son in public according to the Goddess of Justice's deduction, playing along isn't a good thing. Doing it too much makes it easy to forget your original intention."

He smiled gently: "I can still solve your schooling problem, so let me fulfill my obligation."

Gu Qingshan said sincerely, "Thank you for your understanding and help."

The President picked up the communicator on his desk and said with a smile, "Of course, regarding your matter, we will still ask the Goddess before making arrangements."

The communicator connected quickly.

"I've decided to recommend Gu Qingshan to Capital University, what do you think?" the President asked.

On the other side of the communicator, the Goddess of Justice's melodious female voice sounded: "After deduction, combined with your opinion, the best placement for Gu Qingshan himself is the Research Department, followed by the Federation National Defense University. Although Capital University is ranked first, the Mobile Armor research configuration and protection measures are not conducive to Gu Qingshan's research."

The President looked at Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan shrugged, indicating that he didn't resist and could accept it.

The Federation National Defense University is also one of the top three universities in the entire Federation. Although its comprehensive ranking is not as good as Capital University, Mobile Armor research is indeed its strength, making it more suitable for him.

More importantly, it would be a good place to rest each time he returned from the cultivation world.

Seeing this, the President also nodded secretly, feeling even closer to Gu Qingshan in his heart.

He had a wealth of life experience and had seen many talented people, but these people all had big tempers, liked to show off their talents, and were willful and reckless.

Gu Qingshan was young, but he listened to other people's opinions and could think about problems objectively.

This was very important, directly related to Gu Qingshan's future prospects.

"Then let's do it this way, I agree," the President said.

The Goddess of Justice said, "Please authorize."

"I authorize," the President said.

The Goddess of Justice said, "Initiating file retrieval and placement, commencing calculation of Gu Qingshan's merit points."

"Corresponding placement is being completed."

"Due to the high-security level involved, special processing is required for several minutes; it will be completed shortly."

It seemed everything was arranged. The President nodded, withdrew his gaze from the communicator, and looked at Gu Qingshan, saying, "Come to my house for lunch tomorrow to meet the family."

Gu Qingshan nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

The President laughed and said, "No trouble at all. I'm busy to death every day, and all my meals are prepared by a chef. I don't have time to learn to cook."

Gu Qingshan also laughed.

"After entering university, make more friends. Military academies, after all, graduates will be comrades-in-arms and will meet sooner or later," the President instructed.

"Okay, I will," Gu Qingshan nodded earnestly.

Since the President didn't want to go through the motions and was treating him so sincerely, Gu Qingshan wasn't one to be pretentious.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"What is it?" the President asked.

"The Senate meeting has already started for ten minutes, Your Excellency. It will soon be your turn to speak."

"Oh, I almost forgot." The President patted his forehead and stood up.

Gu Qingshan also stood up and said, "I've caused you trouble."

Just then, someone else came over and quietly asked the President if he was in the office.

The President then said, "Then I'll go first. Remember to come to the residence for lunch tomorrow."

Gu Qingshan said, "Okay."

The two walked out together. The President went to the meeting with his staff, and Gu Qingshan was escorted out by a special person in a special car.

After everyone had left, the door to the President's office closed, and everything returned to silence.

Several minutes passed, and the communicator on the President's desk lit up.

The voice of the Goddess of Justice sounded from it.

"Based on Gu Qingshan's personal merit points, Federation authority, research level, and in accordance with the Federation's general principles for cultivating scientific research talents, corresponding placement has been completed."

"Placement result: Federation National Defense University Mobile Armor Department, Special Grade Professor, enjoying Federation Honorary Allowance."

"Gu Qingshan's personal file has been updated."

With this statement concluded, the Goddess of Justice also disconnected.
