Chapter 313: Chess

What’s the matter?

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. The four of them arrived at the villa in the center, one after another. Tang Er followed them silently. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was very calm. In fact, ever since he saw Little Mo’s functions not long ago, he had been in a daze.

Is such a fully functional robot for real?

After he saw the projected scenes, he slowly came back to his senses. Has his master picked up a treasure? Young Master Lu is really a genuine genius as the outside world said! He became even more excited. If news of this spread outside, those people would definitely be shocked.

After all, most people in the circle felt that Tang Mingkun had contributed greatly to Young Master Lu’s success! However, only those who knew the inside story knew that Young Master Lu’s talent and hard work were indispensable to his success. Basically, he had built his business empire step by step!

Tang Er was quite clear about one fact—Young Master Lu was very powerful!

Whether it was cars, chips, phones, or robots, Young Master Lu had dabbled in all of them and was very proficient in them! This was because when he was still in the research stage, he was ordered by his master to deliver parts to the other party. Then he saw Young Master Lu talking to a group of researchers. He really resembled his master when he was young.

Therefore, he was even more certain that Young Master Lu was definitely no ordinary person!

For some reason, he recalled the conversation between Ms. Han and his master. He inadvertently mentioned Lu Ming and what this person had said about ushering in a new era called the Lu Ming era. When he heard this, he thought that Ms. Han was joking. As the conversation went deeper, he realized that she was actually serious.

However, at that time, he still did not think that Young Master Lu would achieve it. This was because this was really too unbelievable for him. If Ms. Han was not his master’s friend, he would definitely joke that he wanted to start a new era by himself. Was that not a dream? It was simply wishful thinking!

This was not a simple matter. If he wanted an era to be named after him, he had to make immense contributions! This was easy to say, but how difficult was it to do? Since ancient times, those people whose names had gone down in history had all gone through hardships.

Although Young Master Lu was smart, he still felt that he was still a long way from those people. He just didn’t expect the day to come so quickly!

Robots were not rare. What was rare were robots with high intelligence and many functions! After witnessing the scene just now, he guessed that Little Mo, who had such comprehensive functions, was so advanced that other robots could not compare to it. If anyone wanted to develop in this direction in the future, they would definitely use Lu Ming Corporation’s robots as the benchmark!

That new era called Lu Ming… had arrived silently! Young Master Lu has really done it! Tang Er suppressed his excitement and did not show it on his face. However, his slightly trembling hands revealed his true feelings. Master has not misjudged him. His decision today might be the best one he ever made!

In terms of feelings, Master likes Young Master Lu very much. In terms of rationality, roping in Young Master Lu will only be beneficial!

This deal is really worth it!

Just as he was thinking this, Tang Mingkun, who was sitting on the sofa, was the first to speak. “By the way, I haven’t congratulated you on the completion of your satellite city project. I’ve specially prepared a gift for you. However, because it was bought overseas, it’s still in transit. I reckon it will arrive tomorrow or the day after. You and Little Yu would like it.”

“Eh? Is there something for me? I don’t think I helped, right?”

Chu Jinyu asked in surprise. This time, she really did not do much in the satellite city project. She was mainly responsible for providing inspiration to those people. Before she came on board, she used to think that she had a fertile imagination. However, after joining the team, she had to get her creative juices flowing every day. She even suspected that she was not that capable.

How can that be?

Lu Ming reacted quickly and grabbed his wife’s hand. “If not for your strange ideas, we would probably be frustrated for a long time. Then the satellite city wouldn’t have been built so quickly. Everyone is very grateful to you, so you don’t have to belittle yourself. You contributed greatly this time.”

He was not being polite. At that time, the team mainly relied on technology, so the design looked very cold and lifeless. It was Chu Jinyu who suggested Candy Street and the Toy Kingdom, which added a lot of childlike fun and novelty to the city.

“Little Ming is right. Jinyu, don’t reject me anymore.”

Tang Mingkun echoed. Chu Jinyu, who was sitting opposite him, scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and nodded. Since they said so, there was no need for her to reject them.

“I wanted to visit with both of you, especially Lu Ming. You’re striking out on your own in the capital. That old fellow, Tang Boyan, will definitely not let you off easily, so I’m a little worried. Also, I’m going to visit an old leader during the new year. Tomorrow is the first of January. Are you free? I want to bring you to his house for a meal.”

Just a meal?

Is it really that simple?

How could someone who was called an old leader by a political big shot like his godfather be a simple person? He should be a big shot among big shots, right? Tang Mingkun’s goal this time was very obvious. He was afraid that Lu Ming would be unfamiliar with the outside world and be bullied. So he would purposefully nurture him and expand his connections to help him gain a foothold in this dangerous capital!

“I’m free. But may I know his identity?”

Tang Mingkun shook his head mysteriously. “You’ll know when you see him. But I can tell you that he likes to play chess very much. As for his level… I don’t know how to describe it, but I’m sure that he’s not inferior to most professional players in the country!”

Oh my! Is he that powerful?

If he remembered correctly, chess was quite a test of intelligence. The first player to kill the opponent’s king would win. Previously, it was even listed as an Olympic event. This was troublesome. He knew nothing about this thing. At most, he had heard of its name.

Lu Ming noticed the words ‘in the country’ and asked curiously, “What about overseas?”

“I’m not sure. Given this old leader’s status, he can’t enter and leave the country as he pleases. Even if he wants to compete with an expert, it’s impossible. So he’s feeling lonely now. I even heard that in order to find a suitable opponent, he specially got someone to scout for players to play chess with.”
