Chapter 164: Chapter 164
Xichuan’s destruction was indeed too severe; the thick smoke and crustal damage also blocked the satellite’s view, and what Chu River needed was too confidential, delaying the delivery by a day.
However, this extra day happened to make more people understand the importance of the Rescue Dragonfly, gaining political and resource support.
The convenience brought by this situation is enough to compensate for the day’s delay.
Upon hearing Chu River’s refusal, the other party said nothing more, just saluted him and immediately went out to give orders.
Meanwhile, Chu River used this time to categorize all the parts and materials, and then urgently taught Hu Sisi and Little Yellow some key skills...
Three hours later, everyone was brought here and signed a confidentiality agreement.
This project is inclusive, allowing all professionals to maximize their abilities. Even university students from various major institutions, who survived, were called in during a severe manpower shortage.
Everyone worked fervently, though it was a crash course production process focused solely on the successful assembly of the Rescue Dragonfly... no matter what, the knowledge gained was still most valuable.
As for the current lack of understanding — well, that’s not a problem.
Once the task is complete, everyone can ponder and discuss thoroughly—it’s certainly better than being clueless.
At present, efficiency is paramount!
All bases are recruiting talent, yet Qin Manman was confined to a simple holding facility at the base—
Committing a crime during a disaster, especially such a sensitive criminal incident, restricted her personal freedom. She was detained with a group of people who looted and robbed during the chaos, living in constant fear every day.
Fortunately, the management here was quite strict during this special time, leaving them no chance to do anything harmful.
Even so, it was enough to make Qin Manman, an unscathed flower, beg for mercy like never before.
In her entire life, had she ever endured such suffering?
What’s more, the life that was once full of ambition was now disrupted, leaving her lost like a spoiled egg, filled with a sense of despair from the depths of her soul!
At this moment, Mr. Qin, deeply caring for his daughter, sought help from various sources and personally begged Professor Zhao for forgiveness and understanding, desperately speaking of his father-daughter bond and remorse, while offering donations to the disaster victims...
Professor Zhao, who was of a similar age and whose child also just graduated this year, naturally felt empathetic, eventually agreeing to forgive after Mr. Qin pleaded earnestly with all he had.
However, despite Professor Zhao’s forgiveness, Tianfeng Research Institute still requested behavioral restrictions and immediately sent a notice to the school.
As a result, everyone at White Bird Academy felt disgraced upon seeing this notice, wishing they could drag the student over for a stern reprimand!
Criminal conduct is inherently disgraceful, let alone in the extreme environment Qin Manman was in, potentially even involving intentional homicide...
The fact that they didn’t pursue the matter doesn’t mean everyone was unaware; they were biting down with frustration and made an official statement on their website right away.
White Bird Academy has stood in Zheng Country for so many years, relying not on exceptional talent, but on its unwavering school spirit!
The entire school was in an uproar.
Qin Manman still didn’t know she had achieved a small rebirth goal—
Becoming famous on campus.
Her Weibo had reached a level of attention others would have to pay for, truly both praiseworthy and lamentable. Fresh chapters posted on novel-fire.net
At this moment, meeting Mr. Qin again, memories of their long separation after she joined the research institute in her previous life caused a surge of poignancy in her heart.
Mr. Qin didn’t say much about his daughter.
He just sighed. In the mere span of two days, his once jet-black hair turned gray, his figure became dry and thin, losing all traces of a successful entrepreneur’s presence.
After all, when the earthquake struck, he was also in Xichuan.
But Qin Manman didn’t notice these details.
In her impression, her father was always supposed to be worn and silent, especially now that everyone was safe, why ask further?
She urgently asked, "Dad, why did it take you so long to come? Did you manage everything? You must make sure I don’t have a criminal record, otherwise I—"
"Don’t talk about the future anymore, Manman."
Mr. Qin sighed, "The situation is different now. You must stay stable for a while first."
At the moment of the earthquake, he watched the ceiling crack open and the hotel’s massive crystal chandelier fall... he thought he wouldn’t survive, yet unexpectedly, he was successfully rescued at 5:00 a.m. that day.
