Lin Fu followed behind and quietly asked Celia, "Who is Major General Roman Rod?"
"He is Nolan’s brother, Commander of the Empire’s Ninth Fleet, as well as Fu Xing’s best friend. Both of them graduated from the First Military Command College."
"I see." Lin Fu looked at the brothers walking side by side and said enviously, "It seems like Nolan and his brother have a good relationship."
"Indeed, not all noble siblings are at each other’s throats," Celia said with a self-deprecating tone. "But it also has to do with Nolan’s personality. He’s not ambitious, laid-back, and even if someone wanted to push him to fight for the inheritance rights, it wouldn’t be successful."
In the private room, the four of them started to order food, and Lin Fu was shocked when she saw the menu.
"Sour and spicy fish, Mapo tofu, mouth-watering chicken, and even thirteen-spice giant lobster?"
At that moment, Lin Fu couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
Could there be another transmigrator besides her?
Why were all these signature dishes her favorites?
Right, the high fidelity of this building’s design might not be what she initially thought.
Celia discreetly observed Lin Fu’s expression, her eyes flickering with a burning intensity, and her fingers tightly clutched together under the table, her body trembling slightly due to inexplicable emotions.
Joshua, who was ordering food across the table, looked up and glanced at Celia.
Celia quickly managed her emotions and responded with a polite smile.
"Please don’t be shy, and I hope Major General Roman Rod will take good care of us during the newcomer competition."
"Of course, of course."
Lin Fu raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked Nolan quietly, "What do they mean by that?" She felt like there was more to their words.
Nolan was nonchalant, "Oh! Every year, the Supreme Commanders of the nine major cosmic fleets attend the newcomer competition and even participate in scoring the top three. That’s why I brought my brother over to speak well on our behalf when the time comes."
"Of course, social networking is very important too," Nolan said, frowning in frustration. "More than one-third of the nine major cosmic fleets are graduates from the First Military Command College, something that other military academies can’t compare with. We are at a disadvantage."
"But didn’t you bring your brother over?"
"It’s still not enough, winning first place is too hard," Nolan said, then looked at Lin Fu with sympathy and patted her shoulder earnestly. "I already know about your marriage, and even though I’m very sad and disappointed..."
"Cough cough cough..." Joshua, who was drinking water beside them, choked on the foolhardy words of his younger brother.
Was his foolish brother courting death?
If those words reached Fu Xing’s ears, he would definitely die because of his foolish brother.
Nolan didn’t notice and continued, "So for the sake of our school and for yourself, you must pull Major General Fu Xing over to our school’s side, understand?"
Saying this, he even lowered his voice, conspiratorially, "I’ve paid a lot to win over my brother, really! If your relationship with Major General Fu Xing isn’t good, please put aside any grievances for now; when it’s time to ask for help, do it. How much is pride really worth? Of course, future prospects and freedom are more important."
Lin Fu was both shocked and impressed, with a look of innocent amazement.
Nolan felt a great sense of accomplishment, puffing out his chest, almost radiating an aura of righteousness.
He found Lin Fu even more pleasing to the eye now. Ah! How could such a pretty and cute Lin Fu be married,
and to the person he admired the most.
This caused him to feel quite conflicted! While Lin Fu was also good, he always felt she wasn’t good enough for his idol.
No, that wasn’t right. Actually, she might barely be good enough. Sigh... He couldn’t keep thinking about it; his feelings were too conflicted.
