“Did your mom say anything to you before you left the house?”
Chu Jinyu thought for a moment before she came to a realization and said, “I remember now. Because she said something very ordinary, I didn’t take it to heart. She asked me to have a good chat with you.”
She did not know the specifics of what she was supposed to chat about. At that time, she only felt that it was a bit baffling. She guessed that perhaps her mother was starting to acknowledge Lu Ming.
A look of understanding flashed across Lu Ming’s eyes. Have a good chat.’ The meaning behind these four words was not simple. Han Qianjing was indeed an old fox to have thought of using her daughter to get a favor from him.
He wondered if she predicted that he would be soft-hearted towards Chu Jinyu.
However, since Chu Jinyu already told me not to be polite, why should I back down? he thought.
He rubbed his temples. To be honest, he didn’t like dealing with people who were too shrewd. The matter was supposed to be a piece of cake, but it had been made so complicated that he was losing his brain cells.
Chu Jinyu looked at his gesture and realized that something was wrong. She asked, “Do you know what my mom meant?”
“I think I understand.”
For a moment, she did not know if she should say that he was too smart or that he was like her mother.
Otherwise, how could he have understood so quickly?
“Is it good or bad?”
“It depends.”
Lu Ming patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, this matter is quite simple.”
Simple? she thought.
How could it be simple?
She felt that she had become the only fool among the three of them. Clearly, she was not stupid and was even smarter than ordinary people. Why could she not keep up with her mother and Lu Ming?
She took out her phone and looked at the time on it. “I should go back.”
“Well, goodbye.”
Lu Ming watched her leave and fell into deep thought.
He Xiaopeng frowned and said, “That’s not right! Old Xia, how’s the data this time?”
“It’s much more stable than before. According to the values we observed and the previous test with the model car, we should have succeeded this time.”
Confused, Xia Heng asked, “Everything is in place now, but why can’t it fly? Be it materials or parts, we used superior-quality goods.”
What is going on? they thought.
“Perhaps flying cars can never be a reality?”
Amember said dejectedly.
“No! We can definitely do it! We’re just a few steps away from victory!”
He Xiaopeng insisted. But they wondered what exactly was wrong.
He Tao touched his freshly bandaged wound and said, “Speaking of which, when I was sitting inside, I heard a thud. I guess there’s a problem with our engine?”
“Engine?”
Xia Heng walked over to the scattered parts, looked around, and touched them. “We assembled these together. How could there be a problem?”
He Xiaopeng held the model car and spun the pulp board unconsciously. He wondered if it was really impossible to succeed. However, things had already reached this stage and Lu Ming had invested a lot of money. If he could not develop anything, how could he help Lu Ming take down the Tang family?
He felt inexplicably powerless. These days, he had been working on various kinds of research day and night. If not for the fact that his body needed sustenance, he would have sacrificed his mealtimes. But he ended up with a pile of crap!
Is it really impossible? he wondered.
Or should we give up just like that?
He pursed his lips and looked at the densely packed numbers on the whiteboard. They were close to getting to the solution but did not know where they fell short.
“Do you have any other ideas?”
The others shook their heads.
They were a little disheartened now. No one wanted their hard work to be wasted.
But the truth was right in front of them. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they had to admit it.
