Chu River pursed his lips, hesitating before solemnly promising:
"...I’ll definitely hit him a little lighter."
If he doesn’t rescue him, he can only watch as his Spiritual Body is suppressed by the twisted core of the world, eventually perishing in time, completely obliterated.
Faced with Chu River’s insincere answer, Chang Geng suddenly burst into a mad laughter.
Laughed until tears almost came out, before gradually stopping in her face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and nonchalantly changed the subject:
"The mecha is doing well, but you haven’t fixed that engine."
Chu River glanced at her proudly, suddenly grinning slyly, his expression briefly becoming lewd.
"You know what? I discovered that every time Qin Manman is about to succeed, our country pulls this move—what’s it called—undermining, right? It’s so satisfying, hahaha! With the trending topics I can enjoy two more bowls of noodles with my crayfish!"
She eagerly pulled out the blueprints from her phone:
"Look, look, Qin Manman promised that golden-haired David that she’d bring back glory during the summer vacation—I guess she’s planning to use her ace, which is this miniaturized engine."
"The work that Chang Geng completed before he died in the previous life."
"And I’ve negotiated with Qin Yuze and the others, this year at the grand parade, the mecha unit equipped with ultra-micro engines must have a name—how about calling it Chu Tianba?"
Chang Geng slowly raised his eyes to look at her:
"Sounds good, I think it matches perfectly with your dark history, what do you think?"
She coughed dryly, silently straightened up, and her demeanor resembled that of facing Shangguan at a military academy.
Upright, like a green pine.
"Forget it, that name isn’t very dignified; let the nation have the naming rights."
Qin Manman’s promise to David was inevitable.
David’s heart was only with her, so much so that he defied orders from the United States, leading to a difficult situation.
He is such a proud person.
His golden hair shines brilliantly, his emerald eyes always full of deep affection. And now, in the entire research institute, in the entire world, only David loves her so deeply and believes in her so unwaveringly.
She can’t let her admirer fall into such a situation; she’ll show the whole world how excellent she is! David’s sincerity towards her is justified!
Therefore, even if her life’s plans were all messed up by the country’s chaotic maneuvering, not even giving Qin Manman a bit of buffer or time to build her own team, she must do it!
Now, once she produces such an achievement, in her long life ahead, she can only begin anew with other inventions.
Qin Manman was deeply anxious.
She had never independently managed a brand-new project before.
In the previous life at Tianfeng, as a suppressed talent, clearly everyone could apply for projects independently, but only all her various applications were outright rejected!
This kind of humiliation, this kind of meaningless suppression, this talent-stifling research center is what made Qin Manman always remember.
Today, she has successfully led out two projects, she has become very proficient!
Even if she runs out of inspiration in the future, it doesn’t matter.
With so much data and so many papers, she remembers them all, and as long as she studies thoroughly, she will definitely have new inspiration of her own in the future, she’s no worse than anyone else!
Moreover, a person’s lifetime, having one grand invention is enough, there’s no need to produce new results at every interval.
She is much younger than those Nobel laureates.
Qin Manman continuously comforted herself, watching the phone ring again as her father called, she unhesitatingly pressed to hang up. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fiɾe·net
——Dad has been in business for too long, with a mind full of only mercantile thoughts, now, he doesn’t care about her at all, just like he was utterly indifferent in the previous life.
Calling so frequently, it’s only to ask about investments.
But, patience is a virtue!
She hasn’t made money from the two inventions, but now the new legal team is on its way, and this money under increasingly stringent contracts might have to be fully compensated.
Besides, Dad has his own business, her 200 million is also selling the assets under her name, she’s not in a hurry.
billion US Dollars even just passed briefly through the research institute account, quickly torn back by the legal team.
This time is unlike the last.
Considering the unprecedented embarrassment of last time, the savvy capitalists naturally set the terms definitively clear.
