Chapter 172: Chapter 172
As long as the collaboration begins, then the next project won’t be a source of worry anymore...
She let her imagination run wild, feeling that a bright future lay ahead, as long as the 200 million was wired to her bank account, she could hit the road at any time.
However, Mr. Qin found it incomprehensible -
"Do you even understand what 200 million represents? I’ve worked hard my whole life, and all I have is just this amount of current cash, all of which I’ve put into setting up this research institute for you!"
"Moreover, haven’t you looked at the institute’s financial reports? Their largest past investment was only 40 million in a single transaction, and you’re asking for 200 million - are you planning to run a money-printing machine!"
Qin Manman couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Dad’s thinking is too narrow, he can’t see the future at all.
"Dad, don’t worry, I’m 100% confident, just one month! Once the money arrives, in one month I’ll show you the results!" Follow current novels on novel_fіre.net
"With these results, you’ll never need to fork out more money again, trust me!"
Honestly speaking, Mr. Qin was being rational - he didn’t believe his college graduate daughter’s words, but the problem was, 350 million had already been spent - just thinking about it filled him with regret.
But there’s no medicine for regret in this world, to prevent the 350 million spent on this research institute from going down the drain, he could only sigh.
"You’ll have to wait a bit longer. I’ll quickly liquidate some real estate - but Manman."
In an instant, he appeared much older.
"These properties were all registered in your name, prepared for you by dad some years ago. The prices back then can’t compare to today’s. If they have to be sold now, it’ll be at a loss. Given our family’s means, if you want to acquire so much again, you’ll have to wait until I’m in my seventies or eighties and can’t walk to earn it back!"
Qin Manman was overjoyed instead.
Yes, she still had those assets!
As for not earning it back...
How is that possible?
Even in her past life, Tianfeng Research Institute made big profits, even with the lowest margin while collaborating with the military to sell bulletproof vests, didn’t they fill their coffers in the end?
She believed this time she would succeed, wash away all the stains on her, and show the world that if Tianfeng Research Institute didn’t want her, it was their shortsightedness, and also the country’s loss!
Compared to the ambitious Daughter of Destiny, Chu River’s life was much more comfortable.
Due to her special abilities and identity, she had been fully recognized by the state, and now returning to Beijing, she didn’t even have to attend school anymore.
Chu River lounged on the sofa, lamenting!
"Had I known it would be this quick, I wouldn’t have locked myself in school for half a month waiting for the college entrance exam back then..."
But thinking about it, at least I earned a bonus for Old Chen and the others, so it’s alright.
After returning from the disaster area, Chang Geng also managed to find some rare free time to meet her, and looking at her at this moment, finally smiled.
"Luckily, you weren’t injured."
Chu River brazenly said, "How could I possibly get injured?"
Chang Geng sighed, "What I’m worried about is not this time, but what if one day you can’t use your spiritual power..."
Chu River reached out and pinched his cheeks, instantly breaking his gentle and elegant demeanor, looking particularly mischievous.
"Don’t worry, when I was hanging out in Central City as a kid, I didn’t have spiritual power and still did fine!"
She had lots of clever ideas and could be quite daring, and now she’s just being lazy.
Chang Geng nodded, "That’s true. Your stance when fighting is solid."
In the information he gathered, Chu River, when she was a child, tangled with others in Central City, and she could definitely go all out — using unorthodox fighting methods without formal education, like ’Black Tiger Stealing Heart’ or ’Monkey Stealing Peaches’, were just proper for her.
Aside from that, Chang Geng pulled out a document for her at this moment:
"I don’t care how you handle your current project, but you need to carve out time to follow this timeline and plan."
"I’m currently organizing the preliminary work for the Hover Shuttle. With current technology levels, it’s quite challenging, so these tasks must be completed by you."
Chu River took it and glanced.
——Well, this is completely the timeline Qin Manman set for her achievement release.
After all, the research progress is fixed. If she wants to disrupt the release, she might release technology A early, but the original owner had already developed technology B, which would miss out on an honor...
She didn’t dare to take this risk.
At this moment, the timetable was clearly marked with dates.
[November 25, Paper on Bulletproof Materials]
[December 28, Finished Product of Bulletproof Materials]
It could be done, but the problem is...
"I remember you made the bulletproof materials, didn’t you?"
Chang Geng shook his head, "The material I worked on is too expensive and has been incorporated into the alloy project group, and at that time, it will be applied to basic defenses for mechanical armor and such."
