Chapter 88: Professor, Please Sit Down

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The onlookers were shocked by the Middle Easterners’ words.

However, the higher-ups of the various countries did not believe it.

What should he do then?

Investigate.

Investigate the truth of the matter.

Especially Middle Eastern neighbor, who almost peed their pants.

If the Middle East really stood up, they would be in trouble.

In fact, when the drone left, the combination of their early warning aircraft and F-i6s had already taken off.

However, no matter how the early warning aircraft scanned, they only found the fighter jets of the Middle Easterners, and there was nothing unusual about them.

This was a joke.

Since when did the Middle East become so fierce?

Investigate to the death.

However, after some investigation, they only found out that the Middle East used the A-300 rocket launcher and the vehicle fire drone integrated platform.

They knew about the A-300 rocket launcher.

What the hell is this integrated platform for fire drones?

Firefighting?

You call that earth-shattering firepower?

A Chinese family company sold them. Then it was fine.

This kind of information that could not be hidden was found by everyone, especially the fire drones.

That was simply terrifying.

Most of the soldiers of Houthi rebels had been killed by these fire drones.

A killing radius of 10 meters.

There were also fragments.

Without the protection of armor, who could withstand this?

Very quickly, everyone’s attention was attracted by this fire drone.

As for the fight between the Middle East and the Houthis, no one took it seriously.

In the end, this was not a war between two countries. This was the Middle East fighting the terrorists. Even if the terrorists were all eliminated, no one would be able to say anything.

Even the backer behind the Houthis was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

But all of this had nothing to do with Tang Rui.

After lunch, he wandered around the airport twice before being called to a meeting.

For the entire afternoon, he was in the meeting room, reporting the situation to a group of big shots.

It was not a live ammunition test. That was not important.

He reported everything related to drones. The questions from the big shots were very professional.

Tang Rui also heard it. He knew what this so-called loyal wingman plan was about, but he pretended not to know.

I don’t understand. I will answer whatever you ask and not mention anything else.

When he got home at night, it was almost eight o’clock.

“You must be hungry. I’ll go heat up your food.”

When Li Shuyao, who was at home, saw that Tang Rui had returned, she immediately got up from the sofa and went to heat up the food for him.

Tang Rui looked at the dining table.

“You haven’t eaten yet?”

“I’m not too hungry. 1 was watching a good drama and didn’t want to stop, so I didn’t eat.”

Tang Rui nodded and didn’t say anything.

He knew that Li Shuyao was waiting for him, but he had to say something nice.

Apologies.

He couldn’t say it.

He didn’t have that kind of knowledge.

He changed into his shoes.

Tang Rui sat on the sofa and began to think about the problem.

It was related to the afternoon meeting.

Although those big shots did not say it explicitly, their words were all about loyal wingmen.

If there were no special circumstances, the drone he created would probably be purchased by the military as the J-20’s unmanned wingman.

Was this a good thing? It was a good thing.

However, if it was not done well, it could easily become a bad thing.

Unlike other weapons and equipment, the investment in the research and development of airplanes was very high.

The current situation in the country, excluding Commercial Aircraft Corporation, were just two powerful ones.

There was no need to mention Xi’an Aircraft Corporation.

The key was the Northeast Big Brother, which has been on the decline in recent years.

The military industrial group was not like before, where they could always swallow up state subsidies.

There were government subsidies now.

However, whether he could live well and live a comfortable life depended on himself.

To say that Tang Rui this time, snatching another piece of cake, then the days that were already not rich to begin with would be even more difficult.

Several of the projects had to be shelved.

There was nothing to stop the project.

What about that person?

If there was no project, he couldn’t just abandon the person, right?

It took money to feed his subordinates.

Without a project, where would the money come from? Who would they blame then? The higher-ups couldn’t be blamed.

He would definitely be the one to blame.

The more he thought about it, the more Tang Rui’s head hurt. This was too much.

“What are you thinking about? It’s time to eat.”

Li Shuyao saw that Tang Rui’s eyes were fixed on her, so she walked over and patted him.

“Alright, let’s eat first.”

Tang Rui threw these questions to the back of his mind and got up to follow Li Shuyao to eat.

“What’s the problem? The test flight didn’t go well?” Li Shuyao asked with concern.

“No, it’s the exact opposite. It’s because it’s going too smoothly that there’s trouble.”

Tang Rui shook his head and said.

“What trouble?”

“He snatched someone else’s cake.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“If it doesn’t work, let’s split the cake.”

“Pink cake won’t do.”

It wasn’t that Tang Rui hadn’t thought about this problem, and he didn’t have to build drones.

To be honest, one drone only gave him 150 origin points. If he sold it to the military, he wouldn’t be able to make much money from it.

But the problem was that the cake was not divided like this. Now you’re a pink cake. No one will remember your kindness.

The next time you have something good, they will serve it again.

However, she prepared a pink cake.

This was not how things should be done.

Actually, Tang Rui wasn’t afraid of these either. After all, he was a cheater.

So what if he ate alone?

With technology, one could do whatever they wanted.

The main reason was that he did not want to produce it himself.

The production of drones was troublesome.

If it was made by hand, it would take a lot of time and would not earn much origin points.

Money was not important. What was important was the origin points.

If he had the time, wouldn’t it be better to build a few more car platforms?

The Middle East was about to send money again.

It saved him a lot of trouble and earned a lot of origin points.

After dinner, Li Shuyao walked to his side and whispered into his ear.

“Can you go wash the dishes today?”

“All?”

Tang Rui was stunned for a moment.

11

Is that okay?”

As Li Shuyao spoke, she lifted her skirt, revealing her long black legs.

Damn!

Who could withstand this?

“Okay, but you have to thank me tonight.”

Tang Rui said with narrowed eyes.

“How?”

“Thank you.”

The night was silent.

The next day, Tang Rui didn’t go to Ma’an Airport, but went to Southern Science and Technology to find Professor Chen for tea.

The drone was almost done testing.

In addition, the data from yesterday’s hypersonic flight had not been sorted out yet.

He did not need to fly a drone today.

They found a teahouse.

Tang Rui brewed tea and waited for Professor Chen.

After a while, Professor Chen came to the tea room.

“Professor, sit down. Try the tea leaves I got and see if you like them.

“If you don’t think it’s a problem, take two catties with you later.”

Tang Rui got up very enthusiastically and ran to the door to welcome Professor Chen.

“You’re so enthusiastic that I don’t even dare to drink your tea,” Professor Chen smiled and said to Tang Rui.

“Look at what you’re saying. I’m definitely not looking for you to do something. I just miss you and want to chat with you.”

“Alright, then don’t mention helping me today. Otherwise, my tea will be uncomfortable.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t mention it.”

He sat down.

Tang Rui poured a cup of tea for Professor Chen.

The two of them did not speak and began to sip the tea.

“Kid, you’ve been doing quite well recently. You’ve even sold your weapons overseas.”

“To earn a living.”

“Your belly is quite big. You’ve earned a few hundred million.”

“Professor, I’m also doing research and development.”

After talking nonsense for a while.

“What’s the matter?” Professor Chen asked.”

“I’m really fine. I just bought two catties of good tea leaves and wanted to give you some.”

“Really? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take the tea leaves and leave.”

After Professor Chen finished speaking, he pretended to get up and leave.

“No, no, no… Professor, please take a seat. Let’s chat for a while.”

“Alright, if you have something to say, say it quickly. 1 still have classes in the afternoon.”

“It’s nothing. 1 just have something that I don’t know what to do.”

“Yes, tell me.”

Tang Rui voiced out his thoughts and asked Professor Chen to help guide him.

Professor Chen finished listening.

He took a sip of tea.

Looking at Tang Rui, he said, “You mean you don’t want to offend people, it’s best not to offend anyone.”

“Yes, I don’t want to produce drones. I’m mainly in research and development.

“However, if this thing were to be distributed, it would definitely offend people. Then, why would I give it to him?”

Tang Rui was also very frustrated.

“Impossible.” Professor Chen said firmly.

“Professor, you don’t have a solution?”

“Not to mention me, it’ll be useless even if an immortal comes.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Aren’t you quite smart? You can’t even understand this kind of thing.”

“Professor, please give me some pointers.”

“Since you don’t want to produce it, you can directly license it and earn money from it.”

H

Isn’t that still the same?”

“It’s different. If you’re a pink cake, no one will remember your kindness before they’re full.

But if you give the cake to a family and let them eat, then they will remember your kindness.”

After Tang Rui heard it, he was immediately enlightened.

He was the one who had gone to a dead end.

Oh, right.

Why did he need pink cake? He could hand his technology to whoever he wanted.

“Professor, do you think I should give it to Xi Fei, the big brother in Northeast China, or directly to China National Aerial Industry Corporation?”

“None of them.”

“???”

Tang Rui had a dumbfounded look.

If not them, who should they give it to?

“This brain of yours, why should you give it to them?

Who do you know? Which one of them has anything to do with it?”

Tang Rui shook his head. He had no direct relationship with anyone.

“Then what should I do?”

“Give it to someone.”

“Professor, just tell me directly. I’m not smart enough to understand.”

Professor Chen sighed.

Initially, he thought that this kid was quite smart, but in the end, he was really not good in this aspect.

“What do you think of your Senior Brother Zhang?”

“There’s nothing to say. Previously, I asked Senior Brother Zhang for help. He helped me without saying anything.”

“Alright, listen to me. Just give this project to your Senior Brother Zhang.”

“It’s fine to give it to Senior Brother Zhang, but his company doesn’t seem to be able to produce this.”

Professor Chen rolled his eyes.

“I told you to give the project to your Senior Brother Zhang, not the Light Power Company. You have to be clear about this.”

Tang Rui looked at Professor Chen as if he understood, but also as if he didn’t understand.

He was just a little confused.

Professor Chen couldn’t be bothered with him. He took out his phone and called Zhang Zhipeng, asking him to come over.

Half an hour later, Senior Brother Zhang came to the tea room and then realized that he had been hit by a pie.

“Junior Brother, 1 won’t say any more polite words. In the future, if you have anything to do, if 1 frown, you can directly slap me.”

Zhang Zhipeng immediately expressed his opinion after hearing it.

“It’s over, it’s over. There’s no need to do this.”

“No, not at all. Junior Brother, you don’t know how difficult it is to advance further in my position.

“If I want to go up, I have to snatch their position. Moreover, there’s more than one person snatching it. It’s too difficult.

But with your project, I don’t even need to find someone else. It’s up to me whether I’m willing or not if someone else invites me.”

Tang Rui only understood after listening.

So that was the case.

It was no wonder that some local officials transferred their positions with projects or money.

That night, Senior Brother Zhang drank too much. At the wine table, he was bragging and patting his chest.

No matter who this project offended, he would take it up. He would definitely not let anyone find Tang Rui.

In the end, Professor Chen’s words exposed his past.

As long as the China Aerospace Industry Corporation accepted this project, it would be the China Aerospace Industry Corporation’s resistance. At most, he would be promoted..”
