"Miss Su, we sincerely invite you to attend. Admiral Bai will be there, and the party will have many interesting programs with many celebrities."
"Not going." Su Xiaocai's tone was very flat, like a salted fish. Admiral Bai is going because he's on the battlefield and cannot afford to disrespect Admiral Lu and Admiral Yi; timely response when calling for help or support is crucial.
She wasn't going to the battlefield, nor did she want to be a sucker. If she didn't want to go, she wouldn't. Her profession and status gave her the confidence to refuse anyone.
The Lu family member's smile slightly cracked, "You are in research, meeting some amazing people would be beneficial for your studies."
"Oh, not going. I have occasional bouts of introversion. On holidays, staying home to watch live streams feels great, relaxing, inspiring." Su Xiaocai rambled, "The weather forecast says it will snow on Harvest Day. It's cold; staying indoors is cozier."
