Chapter 354 Wanrong Automobile Group’s Decision

Chairman Xu looked at those present and introspected for a moment before asking, “What do you all think about this suggestion?”

The group maintained their silence as their eyes showed signs of indecision. However, after a brief moment, someone nodded and voiced out, “I agree!”

“I too, agree! Since Director Ouyang Qing is confident about it, I trust her judgment!”

“I think we should give it a shot.”

As those supporting the motion grew in ranks, Chairman Xu nodded along. Just as he was about to make a statement, a dissonant sound drifted in from the sideline.

“Dad, I disagree!” Xu Nan stood up as she rushed to speak.

Chairman Xu scowled, his expression unhappy. “I’m allowing you to observe and learn from this. What qualifications do you have to speak here? Furthermore, you are to address me as Chairman Xu in the company!”

Hesitating for a moment, he stared at Xu Nan as he asked, “Why do you disagree?”

“Ouyang Qing’s autonomous vehicle technology is flawed. It can’t be realized. If we simply use it like this, things will be bad!” Xu Nan stated.

“What flaw do you know of? Share it with us!” Chairman Xu stared at Xu Nan.

Xu Nan puckered her lips. “My master told me. Unfortunately, the things he wrote down were burnt by Abbess Miejue!”

“Your master?”

Chairman Xu’s brows knitted tightly together. He felt his heart drop and his expression turned dark.

“Chairman Xu, it was like this...”

Immediately, Ouyang Qing retold the incident from that day from start to end.

Smack!

Chairman Xu’s expression turned ugly, slapping hard on the table and stood up. He pointed angrily at Xu Nan and scolded, “Not only did you bring in an outsider, you even let him see our autonomous vehicle technology? Who gave you the authority?!”

Those in the conference room had similarly darkened expressions, shaking their heads as they looked towards Xu Nan.

“Dad, I brought him in with Xu Nan. He’s my student, not a spy from some other corporations. You don’t have to worry about that.” Xu Wanqing stood up and defended her.

“Nonsense! Morons!”

Chairman Xu bellowed, “If you’re not my daughters, I would have thrown you out of this company right now! What is he? You’re believing him just because he claimed there was an issue? Our team researched this for so many years, yet he could see the problem with just one look? He’s obviously lying to you. He could very well have stolen our technology by now!”

“Sigh! No wonder Director Ouyang was in such a hurry to showcase our autonomous vehicle technology. This is to prevent others from overtaking us!”

“How did you leak such an important secret?”

“This is too reckless. It’s just...”

Within the conference room, everyone was shaking their heads.

“Dad, I’ll say it once more. My master is a good person! He will not lie to me. Furthermore, if he claims to have issues, then there will be. If you don’t believe me, you’ll all regret this!” Xu Nan retorted.

“You shut up!”

Chairman Xu howled. His face flushed red. “How did I have such a naive daughter! You even took him as a master? Are you trying to lose all my face?! Go back to your rooms this instant, Both of you! You’re not allowed to leave your room for a day. Reflect on your mistakes!”

“Chairman Xu, I plan to spread the news today and announce for this weekend to showcase our autonomous vehicle technology. By then, all the mainstream media will be there!” Ouyang Qing stated.

“Good!” Chairman Xu nodded. “This matter cannot be delayed. You’ll handle this personally!”

...

Ring ring ring!

Ye Lingchen looked at the caller ID, thought for a moment before answering the call.

“Master, things are not going well!” Xu Nan’s voice was lined with resentment.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Lingchen was surprised.

“Last time you wrote down the flaws of the autonomous vehicle technology for me, but Abbess Miejue burnt it without even taking a glance. Right now my dad decided to showcase our autonomous vehicle technology to the public. If anything happens, that would be disastrous!” Xu Nan was worried sick.

“She burnt the things I wrote?”

Ye Lingchen’s brows knitted into a frown. He felt slightly offended. It was a sign of goodwill, yet he was met with such treatment.

“Master, I’m sorry. Can you help me?” Xu Nan begged weakly.

“Your dad won’t believe my words. Furthermore, they have made their decision and I can’t change them.” Ye Lingchen expressed his inability to help.

“The public demonstration is on the day after tomorrow, on a weekend. Can you take a trip here? I’ll bring you to the venue of the autonomous vehicle display. That way you can point out the flaws. Can you please help me?” Xu Nan begged.

“Lingchen, we’ll feel better if you came along. Please.” Xu Wanqing’s sound could be heard on the other end of the phone.

Ye Lingchen nodded. “Fine. I’ll be there on that day.”

“Thank you master!” Xu Nan let out a sigh of relief.

Not long after he ended the call, Ye Lingchen’s phone vibrated once again. It was a news update. Taking a look, his eyebrows twitched.

He did not expect that news update to be from Wanrong Automobile Group.

[Today’s headline: Wanrong Automobile Group is making an official announcement to have a public showing of their autonomous vehicle technology! The era of intelligent driving is here! If intelligent driving is realized, what would you be doing in the car?]

Ye Lingchen opened the news. Right then, the view count and the number of comments were quickly increasing. It would no doubt make it onto the trending topics soon, gaining the attention of the whole country.

After all, such big news regarding technology was closely followed by a great number of people.

There was a slight glimmer in Ye Lingchen’s eyes. The technology was something followed by a huge audience. If his own technology achieved some sort of breakthrough, would that not gain him a large number of popularity points?

He got more excited as he thought about it, finally discovering a new path to harvest popularity points. However, such a plan was not suitable for him to continue using Y’s identity. The best approach was to form a company, one that was based on technology!

As for the execution, that would require more planning.

The following day, Ye Lingchen returned to university. Xiang and Little Gen each carried a box and placed them in front of Ye Lingchen, both of them showing an expression of hopelessness.

“For me?” Ye Lingchen was taken aback. That scene was familiar to him. The items in the box should be love letters and gifts. How did it suddenly increase to that much?

“It’s for you!” Little Gen pursed his lips, lamenting, “I’m also a good looking person. On both appearance and intelligence, I’m only slightly behind you. Why are there no love letters for me? This is discrimination. It’s not fair!”

“How come there are this many all of a sudden?” Ye Lingchen exclaimed in surprise.

“You didn’t know? Today is 11 November, Singles’ Day! Throughout the year, this is the best day to say goodbye to being single,” Xiang explained.

“Sigh, shouldn’t Singles’ Day be a day to comfort the singles? Why did those couples have to stick their hands into this? Tonight we’ll be experiencing earthquakes again. Pity us single dogs!” Potato lamented on his own.
