Chapter 479: Only With Comparison Does the One in the Family Courtyard Look So Ugly

"Mom, I won’t be home for dinner. I’ll eat at the school cafeteria. I have to go to the factory after work, so I might be back late tonight."

"What? Are things over there still not sorted out?"

"Yeah. I just need to go for the next day or two, then I won’t have to anymore."

The R&D teams at the First Auto Factory were quite impressive. She had learned a lot from them yesterday.

She had to admit, there was a lot of truth to the saying, "Two heads are better than one."

"Alright, I understand."

Mrs. Fu knew it was all for work.

She sighed inwardly—a high salary was never easy to earn.

’She’s just so busy.’

Fu Mingxue was indeed busy. During the day, she was busy with her classes and had to answer questions from her students.

She also had to set aside time to prepare her lessons.

After school let out, she would eat in the school cafeteria and then rush over to the auto factory.

As soon as she arrived at the factory, Xiao Li was there as if he had been waiting for her.

"Teacher Fu, what materials do you need? Just leave it to me."

Fu Mingxue handed him a list she had prepared in advance.

"Please help me prepare all of this. I’m going to set aside some time tonight to work on this little electric vehicle."

Xiao Li took it, very excited.

"Teacher Fu, I’ll get everything ready. But you don’t have to install it yourself. If you’re okay with it, let our factory’s master craftsmen handle it! They’ll definitely do a great job."

If someone else could do the work for her, Fu Mingxue couldn’t be happier.

"Of course I’m okay with it. It’s just a bit of trouble for the master craftsmen."

"It’s no trouble at all. They’ll probably be thrilled. I’ll get going then. Oh, right, I’ll go get the bicycle now."

"Okay." Fu Mingxue simply gave him the bicycle.

Xiao Li immediately pushed the bicycle away.

That night, Fu Mingxue once again worked until around 1:30 AM.

However, as she was preparing to go home, she was surprised to find that Xiao Li was still there.

Xiao Li had been waiting. The moment he saw Fu Mingxue was finished, he immediately went up and handed her a key.

"Teacher Fu, this is the key to your bicycle. It’s been modified, completely according to your specifications. Not only did we install the small electric motor, but we also added a headlight to the front. I’ll walk you over to take a look."

Fu Mingxue was a little surprised. "Ah, it’s done already? So quickly?"

’The efficiency of a large factory is truly something else.’

Xiao Li nodded. "Yes, it’s done!"

The two of them headed outside as they talked.

The bicycle was parked not far away outside.

It was visible the moment they stepped out.

"See? What do you think?"

Xiao Li was incredibly envious. In fact, after seeing the finished modification, he really wanted to modify one for himself.

This was just too awesome!

Plus, the modified bicycle was nearly as fast as a motorcycle.

"Not bad." Fu Mingxue thought it was very good.

At least in terms of appearance, it was much more aesthetically pleasing than the one she had modified herself.

It was as if they had taken it apart and reassembled it into something brand new.

Seeing this, Xiao Li added, "Give it a ride! It’s pretty fast!"

Fu Mingxue got on the bicycle. When she turned on the electric motor, the speed was indeed the same as the one she had previously modified.

And the battery was excellent too. "Xiao Li, thank you, and please thank the master craftsmen for me. I’ll be going now!"

"Be careful on your way, Teacher Fu."

Xiao Li watched as the electric bicycle disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He was so envious. He wished he had one too.

When Fu Mingxue got home, the house was quiet. Everyone had clearly gone to bed.

Fu Mingxue also hurried to take a shower and go to sleep.

The next morning when she got up, she found her mom circling her bicycle.

"Mom, what do you think of this one? Not bad, right?"

"How did you get another one already?" Mrs. Fu was amazed. That was incredibly fast.

"This one was faster to get done. The master craftsmen at the factory helped modify it."

"Then you really must thank them properly. This bicycle is much better-looking than your other one."

Only with the comparison did she realize how incredibly ugly the one in the family courtyard was.
