Chapter 588 - Agreement!
Hearing this familiar voice, the three of them turned their heads in unison.
When he saw Xue Xi, Feng Xingshen said warily, “Sister Xi, what are you doing here?”
He glanced at Director Liu and stood in front of Xue Xi. “Old Liu, why did you call Sister Xi here?”
Director Chen grinned at Xue Xi. “Xue Xi, I haven’t seen you in a while, but you’ve become prettier again!”
Feng Xingshen: “?”
Director Liu: “?”
Just as their lips twitched, Xue Xi respectfully said to Feng Xingshen, “Oh, Director Liu is looking for me.”
After all, Feng Xingshen was her teacher and an elder.
Feng Xingshen and Director Chen exchanged glances and looked at Director Liu again!
Director Liu chuckled and said, “Oh, it’s like this. Little friend Xue Xi, Yu Da is your friend, right? Let’s go to the office.”
Seeing that he wanted to escape, Feng Xingshen grabbed Old Liu and turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, you…… Don’t tell me you’re that hacker, X?”
Xue Xi was not good at lying to people she’s close with.
Moreover, she trusted Feng Xingshen and Director Chen. There was no one else around, so she nodded. “Yes.”
After saying that, she continued, “But please keep it a secret for me.”
She still had to hack into the special department’s SSS-level confidential files. She did not want to expose this identity for the time being.
However, the moment she said this, Feng Xingshen and Director Chen’s expressions changed.
Both of them turned to look at Director Liu and said angrily, “Old Liu!”
Director Liu rubbed his ears that were hurting from the shock. “Be quiet, be quiet. I’m not deaf yet!”
Feng Xingshen was furious. “You……”
Director Chen was also very angry. “You are indeed cunning!”
Director Liu coughed. “Let’s go to the office to chat. Look at Sister Xi. She’s already embarrassed.”
……
In the office.
Yu Da was so frightened that he shrank in the corner and became a statue. He wished he could leave this place immediately.
Even though espers had a natural sense of superiority, these three were the top experts in their respective fields!
He did not even dare to breathe in front of them.
He then turned to look at Sister Xi…… The girl was standing in front of the three of them with a lost look in her eyes. She was silently watching them fight.
“Old Liu, I almost fell for your trick!”
“Old Chen, you’re really shameless!”
“Old Feng, you’re the most shameless! You actually targeted Sister Xi while she’s still in high school!”
“.……”
The three of them argued and fought each other.
After they’d been quarreling for half an hour, there was no result.
In the end, the three of them turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, what do you want to learn?”
Xue Xi: “.……I want to learn them all.”
The three of them: “.……”
Feng Xingshen looked at her and finally sighed. “Why don’t we submit the application? Sister Xi shall be a part of the three departments. What do you think?”
Feng Xingshen was the first to discover Xue Xi and had even helped her publish her thesis. For the past year or so, he would give her whatever help he could. He was a person who never hid anything.
Although he wanted to bring the mathematics department to a higher level, with Sister Xi’s talent, it would indeed be a waste for her to study mathematics for the rest of her life. Moreover, he had to respect Sister Xi’s thoughts.
He had made a concession.
Director Chen and Director Liu were not people who did not know what was good for them. They hurriedly said, “Sure, sure. Old Feng, don’t worry. She’ll definitely attend mathematics classes first.”
Feng Xingshen: “.……”
It hurt!
Just as he thought this, he heard Director Liu say, “Little Friend Xue Xi, it’s like this. Our computer department is currently doing a scientific research project that is connected to the international scene. I’m in charge of it. Do you want to participate?”
Feng Xingshen: “?”
Director Chen: “?”
F*ck!
Old fox!
Who did not know that doing a project was the most tiring? It could almost exhaust a person’s energy in a short period of time! Director Liu actually said this. It was too sinister!
However, they all knew that this project of Director Liu’s was very attractive.
Many people cried and begged to enter. It was a very easy chance for them to become famous. It was very angering that he used this to tempt Sister Xi!
Feng Xingshen and Director Chen were already thinking about what good project they had when they heard Xue Xi slowly say, “Mhm…… Can I earn a lot of money from it?”
The three of them: “?”
They all turned to look at Xue Xi. The corners of Director Liu’s lips twitched. “This…… I’m not sure yet. It’s just a scientific invention, but if you lack money, I can give you a few hundred thousand.”
Only a few hundred thousand?
It was far from 200 billion.
Xue Xi: “Forget it, then.”
“.……”
The three of them looked at her carefully. Feng Xingshen said, “Sister Xi, are you short of money?”
Xue Xi nodded.
Feng Xingshen said, “How much do you lack? I’ll see if I can let you borrow it for the time being and see which project will earn more money in the future. I can let you do it.”
“Me too, me too!” Director Chen said anxiously.
Xue Xi replied calmly, “200 billion.”
“.……”
The three of them looked at her silently.
Xue Xi asked in confusion, “Is there no project that can earn 200 billion?”
The corners of their lips twitched.
Feng Xingshen could not help but twitch his lips. “Unless you sell ores, how can you earn so much money?”
The few large corporations in the country had so much money because many people developed together in various industries. After more than ten years of preparation, the entire corporation became very rich.
For example, the God of Fortune Group would definitely be able to easily fork out 200 billion yuan. However, the God of Fortune Group worked in many industries!
Xue Xi was very disappointed. “Can’t scientific research earn that much money?”
The moment she said this, the three of them became nervous. They were afraid that Xue Xi would take things too hard and abandon her studies to start a business!
Hence, Director Liu immediately said, “Not really. There’s this one project. If it’s successful, the profits won’t be immediately 200 billion, but there will definitely be a net profit of tens of billions every year.”
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. “Which project?”
Director Liu was silent for a long time before saying, “The light source.”
Xue Xi paused, indicating that she had never heard of it before.
Director Liu explained, “The Light Source Machine is the core equipment used to create large-scale integrated circuits. When every chip is created, it needs to undergo the refinement of light engraving technology. If you can master the world’s top light source engraving technology, then all the chip manufacturers in the world will come looking for you. Can you imagine how much profit there will be?”
Xue Xi thought about it and finally nodded. “Then what about this project?”
Just as Feng Xingshen and Director Chen were about to say something, Director Liu said, “There’s a project for it in the country right now, but it’s not very advanced. We need to achieve five nano-technology in order to earn a lot of money. Otherwise, you can submit an application. I’ll see if I can get you to apply through the school or collect funds from the government so that you can set up the project!”
Xue Xi was suddenly full of energy. “.……Okay.”
After chasing Xue Xi and Yu Da out, Feng Xingshen and Director Chen glared at Director Liu. “Old Liu, aren’t you cheating Sister Xi?”
Director Chen frowned. “This light source machine is integrated into mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computers. Moreover, our country has never grasped this technology. It’s impossible for Sister Xi to do it!”
Director Liu sighed. “Isn’t it all for our own good? What if Sister Xi decides to quit school and enter the business sector after hearing that she won’t earn money here? The business sector will surely take advantage of it. It’ll be a huge loss for our scientific research world! Let’s use this project to keep her here first. Although she can’t do it, Sister Xi must definitely study hard during the research and development process! Also, the school will definitely not provide any funding for this research and development project because the possibility of it being developed is almost zero. It will probably be very difficult to collect funds, so this money……”
“Let’s split it among us three equally. Give her a million yuan and set up the project first,” Feng Xingshen and Director Chen said in unison!
