Forget it? Xia Heng thought.
Forget what?
Should we really give up?
Xia Heng seemed to want to say something, but He Xiaopeng regained his usual vigor and said, “Since we can’t think of anything, let’s get external help! Maybe others will have some ideas!”
They heaved a sigh of relief.
They thought that this project would end here. After all, they had been working for him for so long and were reluctant to give up.
Fortunately, their boss was not such a person.
He Tao asked curiously, “What external help are you referring to?”
“Just a few people I know. I wonder if they have time to come over. They should be free, right? Let me try first.”
He Xiaopeng took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. He said, “Hello, Professor Zheng, it’s me. My name is He Xiaopeng. Didn’t we talk last time? It’s good that you remember me. I’ve already left the company and started researching cars… Yes, yes, yes, I hope you can come over.”
“Mr. Ma, are you free? I really need your help now. I’m working on a big project. If I accomplish it, it will definitely stun the whole country! But I’ve encountered a big problem. I’ve tried many solutions, but they didn’t work. Now, I’m close to succeeding. Can you come and help me?”
“Big Sister Hua, I’ve called you Big Sister. Can you come over and help me? This matter isn’t big or small… I’m really not joking with you. Why don’t you come to the western suburb and see for yourself? Let me tell you, you’ll definitely be interested. It’s definitely something new that you haven’t seen
before!”
“alright, alright. I’ll wait here for you.”
He hung up and saw his team looking at him expectantly. He smiled and made an OK gesture, then said, “They’ll be here soon. As for their identities, you would have seen them in magazines and newspapers, and on television before.”
22?
So amazing?
Everyone was even more excited on hearing that.
This was a rare opportunity!
He Tao winked and said, “Great! You have a lot of connections. You know so many people.”
“Could it be that Professor Zheng I’m thinking of?”
Xia Heng asked excitedly.
If it was really that person, he was a real big shot!
“Won’t you know when they come?”
He Xiaopeng did not explain but took a detour. He waved at the researcher beside him and said, “Tell the boss about this. Maybe he will have some ideas.”
“Okay.”
‘The researcher immediately ran out.
Puzzled, Xia Heng asked, “Does the boss know anything about this? Doesn’t he usually not get involved?”
“Don’t underestimate the boss. When I was chatting with him previously, he could talk about these things confidently. He’s super amazing!”
If not for the fact that Lu Ming was too busy, He Xiaopeng would have pulled him along to do research.
As for Xia Heng and He Tao, they nodded doubtfully. The main reason was that Lu Ming looked like he knew nothing about making cars. Perhaps He Xiaopeng had exaggerated the truth.
After all, making cars was not that simple. It was not something that a layman could learn in a day or two.
After a while, an old man in a blue checkered shirt walked in. Following him was a middle-aged man who had not even taken off his white overall. Right behind was a young woman in a simple white dress. She had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her nose bridge. She looked gentle but sharp.
‘When they appeared, everyone was shocked into silence.
He Xiaopeng walked forward and hugged each of them. He said, “Welcome. In case anyone doesn’t know you, please introduce yourselves.”
“Lam Zheng Bingxu, a professor of materials science at Tsinghua University.”
His gaze rested on a researcher for a few seconds before he looked at He Tao and Xia Heng. “Mr. He, you’re really amazing. I’ve been teaching for many years, and three of the people standing here are my students. You didn’t go to school to recruit them, did you?”
Indeed, He Xiaopeng did that.
He Xiaopeng smiled but did not say anything.
He Tao scratched his head awkwardly. He had met this old gentleman when he was in university. As for the junior he had invited, he was from the same faculty. He would have attended Professor Zheng’s class too.
“Professor Zheng has students from all over the world, so it’s normal for him to run into his own students. But I didn’t expect Mr. He to call so many people over. I’m afraid he’s really in trouble, right?”
‘The middle-aged man’s features were very serious, and he had a dignified aura. “I’m a chief engineer in aerospace, Ma Jie.”
Gasps could be heard all around. Even hands had stopped moving.
They often saw this person being interviewed on television. He was at a level that they were trying their best to reach.
“Ican’t compare to these two. At most, I’m familiar with foreign knowledge. As the saying goes, the melding of the east and the west, right?”
‘The woman in the white dress curled her lips and said, “My name is Hua Youying. My English name is Sigrid.”
Although some of them were unfamiliar with her, when they heard the English name, their eyes widened in tacit understanding. She was a big name that was being headhunted by various big companies overseas!
How does Boss know foreigners? they wondered.
He Xiaopeng seemed to know what they were thinking and said, “I met Ms. Hua because of a collaboration between our companies. She is very thoughtful and talented.”
They looked enlightened.
Zheng Bingxu glanced at the parts on the ground and said, “What did you call us over for this time?”
“Lwant to make a flying car.”
The professor was shocked at first, then he said, “It’s good for young people to have ideas, but aren’t you indulging in fantasy? Cars are called cars because they run on the ground. You’re crazy!”
“But isn’t this a good idea? Besides, He Xiaopeng has already done the last step.”
Hua Youying stood forward and said.
“The last step?”
Zheng Bingxu rubbed his crutch and said, “How can you guarantee that this is the last step? What if the equations you calculated previously were all wrong and you were all going in the opposite direction? If that was the case, it would have been better to not have started.”
On the other hand, when Feng Jie heard this, he looked interested. He walked forward and began to study the flying car. Based on his years of experience with machinery, it should not be too difficult.
“Professor Zheng, would you like to give it a try?”
