Chapter 294: I Am Fu Mingxue

Fu Mingxue had no idea that Qin Wenhao had already returned to the family compound.

She was currently at the aviation base.

With no time to give Fu Mingxue a tour of the aviation base, Old Ji took her directly to the engine’s research and development team.

The person in charge saw Old Ji arrive and immediately rushed over. "Elder Ji, where’s the expert you invited?" he asked urgently.

Hearing this, many people turned to look at Old Ji.

These were the design, research, and maintenance engineers for this field.

They didn’t see the engineer who had been brought in to solve the problem. Instead, they saw a young girl standing beside Elder Ji.

’Wait a minute, is this really the kind of place for a young girl?’

’At a time like this, how could they bring a young girl here? Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?’

However, no one had time to worry about the girl. What they needed right now were engineers and experts.

’Don’t tell me the engineer isn’t coming?’

Just as anxious expressions spread across their faces, Old Ji introduced Fu Mingxue.

"Director Liu, this is Fu Mingxue. She can solve the problem with the engine’s thrust reverser."

Everyone was stunned.

Director Liu was utterly dumbfounded.

Especially when he realized that the person Elder Ji was introducing was indeed the young girl beside him, who couldn’t have been more than twenty.

He could barely control his anger.

He suppressed his rage, but his face was grim and his tone laced with displeasure. "Old Ji, stop joking around. Did the person you invited come or not?"

Now, even the honorific was gone.

Old Ji wasn’t surprised by the man’s sour expression. "What joke? Am I the type of person who jokes about something like this?"

He gently pulled Fu Mingxue forward to stand before the crowd.

"Allow me to make a formal introduction. This is Comrade Fu Mingxue from our research institute. She is the designer of the latest JJF-15 engine. Comrade Fu Mingxue was the one who recently cracked the design of that foreign engine. And what about the heat-resistant aluminum alloy for the casing and those new heat- and corrosion-resistant engine materials she developed? Haven’t you all seen the data from those samples?"

At his words, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

The JJF-15 engine. Of course they knew of it. It was currently the most technologically advanced engine in existence.

If successfully developed, it would represent a major breakthrough.

It would have applications in critical fields—the military, aerospace, and more.

Entirely new technologies could be derived from its design.

’How could the development of such an important product be led by the girl in front of them, who didn’t even look twenty?’

The granddaughters of some of the older men in the group were about her age.

It was unbelievable.

’No matter how much of a genius a person was, could they really be *this* brilliant? Learning and experience were a gradual process.’

But looking at Old Ji’s serious expression, it didn’t seem like he was just trying to needlessly sing this young girl’s praises.

After a long silence, Director Liu finally asked, his voice strained, "Are you really *the* Fu Mingxue? The chief designer of the JJF-15?"

Faced with the skepticism of these heavyweights, Fu Mingxue showed no signs of fear or discomfort.

Instead, she nodded, poised and self-assured. "Yes, I am Fu Mingxue, chief designer of the JJF-15 engine and head of its research and development team."

She didn’t need to offer any further explanation or proof of her abilities.

"Now, may I see the problematic thrust reverser?"
