As a responsible man, Xi Cheng had imagined countless times how he would obtain their forgiveness after he had found his wife and child.
Xi Cheng could not remember how long he had been gone. He only knew that he had been missing for almost 20 years. He had been absent from his wife and child’s lives for almost 20 years. In this long period of time, had his wife found another man to live with? Had their child been bullied by others because they didn’t have a father? Had they hated him while waiting day after day hopelessly…
Xi Cheng had thought about these questions countless times in his mind, but there was no need to think too much. The answers to these questions were almost certain.
How could they not hate him? Ever since he remembered that he still had a wife and child, Xi Cheng had started to prepare himself to get their forgiveness.
He actively cooperated with the doctor to carry out rehabilitation exercises and actively searched for various means to stand up. He did this so that at the moment he found his wife and child, he could stand up and walk to his wife personally. He would then drop to his knees to express his apology and beg for her forgiveness.
Xi Cheng had once sworn in his heart that if his wife and child refused to forgive him easily, Xi Cheng would continue to kneel until they felt that he had received enough punishment.
It was precisely because of this resolve that Xi Cheng would come to China without hesitation after seeing the video of the product launch. He could not wait to ask the company to customize the latest high-end exoskeleton equipment for him.
Xi Cheng was a huge customer, so much so that Ding Chen did not dare to reject any of his requests. This was also why Huo Tian, as the company’s chief engineer, had personally come to take the measurements of the customer’s body data.
In addition to measuring Xi Cheng’s physical data, Huo Tian also needed to communicate with Xi Cheng’s private doctor to understand his recovery progress and his health condition. The last step was to have a detailed communication with Xi Cheng to understand his needs.
When Huo Tian took a small notebook filled with data and returned to Xi Cheng’s side, her brows continued to be slightly furrowed.
Huo Tian’s expression made even Xi Cheng, who had been through a lot, nervous. He subconsciously clenched his fists and asked in a low voice, “Is there something wrong with my body? Are you guys unable to make exoskeleton equipment for me?”
Huo Tian shook her head and explained, “That’s not the case. On the contrary, you’re in very good health. You won’t need too much time to get used to the exoskeleton equipment. However, after discussing it with the doctor, I discovered that you’re undergoing rehabilitation training. If you seriously implement a rehabilitation plan, even if you don’t equip an exoskeleton, you’ll eventually be able to recover your mobility.”
Xi Cheng shook his head. “That’s too slow. I can’t wait that long.”
Huo Tian closed the notebook filled with data and said, “If you rely too much on the exoskeleton equipment, it will have an adverse effect on the recovery of your body. But since you’re eager to recover your mobility, I’ll customize a piece of exoskeleton equipment for you. It can let you stand up and allow you to walk normally.”
“But I won’t give you too much external support. It’s equivalent to you constantly undergoing rehabilitation training while relying on the exoskeleton equipment to move. Although you won’t be able to walk and run like a normal person for the time being, from the long term, this plan will be beneficial for your full recovery.”
Compared to relying on a robotic exoskeleton for the rest of his life, of course, Xi Cheng wanted to recover to the state his body was previously in.
He rubbed his hands and said excitedly, “Can you really do that? I mean, from the video at the conference, your products can let people who have lost their mobility walk and run normally. However, creating an exoskeleton device that can both temporarily restore my mobility and allow me to undergo rehabilitation training during this process is clearly more difficult…”
Huo Tian should be angry that her knowledge was being questioned, but for some reason, she couldn’t be angry at Xi Cheng.
Hence, she only pouted and said in an unhappy tone, “Don’t look down on me. Although I’m young, I’m a true genius. Moreover, I have another genius friend by my side. There’s nothing that can’t be overcome with the two of us working together!”
Huo Tian looked like an unhappy child who had been doubted. Xi Cheng did not find her attitude unprofessional but instead patiently coaxed her and said, “It’s my bad. I should have more confidence in you. I believe that you and your genius friend will definitely be able to make the exoskeleton equipment I need.”
The coaxing tone in his words was too obvious, making even someone as insensitive as Huo Tian unconsciously reveal a shy expression.
She raised her head slightly and snorted proudly. “Just wait and see. I won’t let you down.”
