Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: Pass Permit

Um, everyone, please take care of them, though they’re also quite excellent,” Wu Lei said.

The people below were a bit puzzled. ”Did all three of them enter the research team through the competition?” a guy asked.

Yes,” Wu Lei said.

There was even more commotion below at that moment, ”That’s impressive, they’re all in.” ”Yeah, it’s been a long time since anyone got in through the competition.

I plan to let them take over the research work on robots. Who is in charge of that now?” Wu Lei asked.

Our group,” a woman said. She looked to be in her thirties or forties. She probably spends most of her time on research and looked a bit unkempt and slightly chubby.

Okay, you should transfer responsibilities to them,” Wu Lei said.

”Are we all stepping down?” The woman felt a bit confused after hearing that and asked. Others below were also somewhat baffled, ”How can you just let newcomers handle that? That’s not right.

It seems many workers below didn’t quite agree with Wu Lei’s words. They were all chattering noisily.

Yes, your group will handle other things, this task will be handed over to them three.

Wu Lei repeated.

The middle-aged woman seemed a little reluctant, but she didn’t say anything more. ”Alright.” After speaking, she glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others and then left.

You can start now, if you have any questions you can ask him,” Jiang Zai said pointing at a man with glasses. Jiang Cheng followed his direction and saw a guy with black-framed glasses. He seemed very skinny.

You can also ask me directly,” Wu Lei said. ”I’m leaving now. You can get familiar with things today, and come officially tomorrow if you’d like,” Wu Lei said. He also handed each of the three a badge, ”These are your passes. Face recognition. Only you guys can enter.” Wu Lei said.

Alright, thanks,” Jiang Cheng said.

You’re welcome, I have other things to handle, so I’ll take my leave,” Wu Lei said, and then left.

Brother Zai, I really didn’t expect that one day I’d be able to enter the most advanced robot research in the team, my god,” Xiao Bai said excitedly after Wu Lei left.

Yeah, you’re really lucky. You have no idea how many people struggle to get into the robotics group. Many here have been trying for over ten years but haven’t made it,” said the woman in charge of handing off duties, looking at Xiao Bai with a very unfriendly tone.

Jiang Cheng looked at the woman and said nothing. He had encountered many people before who were only capable of begrudging others without actual skill, so he had no desire to condescend to her level.

Xiao Bai also kept silent, seemingly lost in thought and not hearing the woman’s words. Of course, Qiu Qingqing wouldn’t care about her either. She simply stood by, gazing out of the courtyard deep in thought. The middle-aged woman, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, became both embarrassed and angry. Qingqing is always like this, ignoring others, but Xiao Bai, Jiang Cheng knows very well, he certainly wasn’t deliberately doing this. However, it’s obvious this woman was provoked.

...

Isn’t there supposed to be a handover? Hurry up, stop saying useless things here,” Jiang Zai was a bit surprised when Qiu Qingqing spoke. Perhaps because of her overly cool demeanor, everyone in the lab turned to look at her.

Goddess, looks like a fairy, even her voice doesn’t sound of this world,” said a guy nearby with admiring eyes, ”Yeah yeah, goddess.

The middle-aged woman’s face looked even more unsightly as she saw her usual colleagues not even intending to speak up for her. ”Follow me!”

Jiang Cheng followed the woman up to the thirtieth floor, walking with her to a very large room at the front. As soon as Jiang entered, he was stunned by the size of the place, about six to seven hundred square meters, but not empty, there were many robots of various kinds. It was like a robot museum, exuding a strong sense of technology. Jiang Cheng was genuinely shocked.

The middle-aged woman led Jiang Cheng and the others to the innermost table, revealing many chips, all sorted into different boxes. ”This is our latest robot research, speaking of robots, take a look at this,” the woman opened the display screen for them to see. ”This is the earliest model we want to create; it’s almost a machine rather than a robot,” the woman said while showing them a slideshow.

So cool,” Xiao Bai was astounded and exclaimed. Jiang Cheng also felt quite shocked; this is the Time Machine. To put it accurately, it can return. Jiang Cheng was genuinely excited at heart. He glanced at Qiu Qingqing, who appeared calm, seeming to already know this, and indeed she probably came expressly for this.

”This Time Machine, we’ve been working on it for five years now, but it’s about fifty percent done. Honestly, we’ve hit a bottleneck recently, which might be the reason we’re being replaced. But I don’t understand, even if our team isn’t great, we have genuinely fought for this project for five years,” the woman said, her eyes reddening.

Jiang Cheng looked at the teary-eyed woman, suddenly understanding her earlier confrontational behavior. Actually, this project, in their eyes, is like a child. From nurturing to slowly fostering, then facing difficulties and never giving up, only to have it suddenly be taken over by others, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

We could let you join us. We’re only three people, quite short on manpower,” Xiao Bai said.

The woman suddenly looked at Xiao Bai, somewhat surprised, and after a while said, ”That’s not something you can decide. Besides, I’m really exhausted,” she suddenly smiled at Xiao Bai, ”Over these five years, I’ve been very tired. But I wake up early, work late, never feeling that it’s difficult. In retrospect, working on this project was my happiest time in decades. Even hitting the bottlenecks, I never gave up, but

She glanced at Jiang Cheng, ”Today I suddenly feel totally relaxed as if shedding a heavy burden. I somewhat understand Captain Wu’s intention. I’m too tired, to the point I can’t get past this hurdle,” the woman suddenly smiled lightly, ”Yes, I should take a break.”

”Rest assured, we will work hard,” Xiao Bai said.

”Alright, that’s all that needs to be said. This is the key to the room, keep it amongst yourselves, one of you should hold onto it, and don’t give it to anyone,” the woman said, placing a key on the table. ”Thank you,” she said, then left.

So, who’s going to hold it, Brother Zai?” Xiao Bai asked Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked at Qiu Qingqing. She appeared indifferent, ”Then I’ll take it,” Jiang Cheng said.

Qiu Qingqing had already turned to leave. ”Hey? Qingqing, are you leaving?” Xiao Bai asked.

Qiu Qingqing turned around, shooting a sharp glance over, looking quite displeased with Xiao Bai calling her that. Jiang Cheng felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat, a chill running through him.

I’ll come tomorrow,” Qiu Qingqing said, then turned around and left.
