The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 965 - 964. Hello, Consultant Tang
Chapter 965: 964. Hello, Consultant Tang
"I think Zone A can make appropriate adjustments to the blueprints. Currently, our production chain cannot achieve the density required by the design drawings."
"Can we only change the blueprints? If we can’t achieve the density, can we consider improving the production chain components?"
"I’m afraid not, our current production machinery is already the best domestically, and very few countries abroad can achieve this, and the cost is quite high."
Xu Qianyu frowned upon hearing Chief Engineer Zhou’s words, looking at the screen with an earnest concentration.
"I hope the consultant who comes today can solve this problem."
The two finally reached a consensus on several issues and almost simultaneously turned to look in this direction as they heard a series of footsteps approach from behind.
Tang Shu’s figure first entered Xu Qianyu’s field of vision.
"...?"
Following closely behind was Engineer Zhao, who coughed lightly to introduce the two sides.
"President Xu, Consultant Tang has arrived. Consultant Tang, this is President Xu of Xu Corporation, and this is Chief Engineer Zhou, who is responsible for the production of this fighter jet engine."
Tang Shu nodded slightly, "President Xu, Chief Engineer Zhou."
Xu Qianyu usually maintained a somewhat authoritative demeanor, but now her face was barely holding, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"...Tang Shu? Are you sure of the identity of the person who has come?"
The latter sentence was clearly directed at the three design department employees standing beside Tang Shu.
"Er, yes, President Xu, that’s right..."
Among the three, Qiu Xin, who was at the back, looked from one to the other, feeling that his brain wasn’t quite up to task, sensing a strangely familiar scene unfolding.
Why was it familiar? He didn’t often get to see President Xu, and had never met Tang Shu before.
Wait... President Xu, Tang Shu?!
Qiu Xin inhaled sharply in a low voice, pulling on the unoccupied Engineer Wu beside him, whispering urgently.
"We’re doomed, this is the end, help me Wu, help meeee~~~"
Engineer Wu felt the kid was about to lose his mind, and whispered back, "What’s wrong with you, what are you going on about now?"
"I’m not crazy, don’t you find the current situation a bit odd? President Xu and Tang Shu are in the same room, and the key point is that President Xu seems to have no idea that Tang Shu was going to be the one coming today!"
"Isn’t it normal for them to be in the same space? What exactly are you trying to say?"
Engineer Wu, who didn’t pay much attention to entertainment gossip, really couldn’t understand why he was surprised, looking completely baffled.
Qiu Xin, feeling as though he was on the front lines of scooping some juicy gossip, not only was he overwhelmed with excitement but he also had a déjà vu feeling like he had just won a billion-dollar lottery.
"Okay, you, the man of science and engineering, might not know, so let me put it this way, President Xu’s stepmother is Tang Shu’s biological mother, and moreover, President Xu doesn’t like Tang Shu at all – she publicly dissed Tang Shu during a Xu Corporation press conference!"
This assistant was nearly bursting his lungs out to explain the whole affair, such that it took Engineer Wu a considerable length of time to digest what he heard.
This... oh snap!
So, the Xu family has this kind of private news huh?
Both of them looked towards Xu Qianyu again, eyes unavoidably filled with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Tang Shu stood still, quietly waiting for Engineer Zhao to verify her identity with the boss, her gaze already shifted to the large screen behind Chief Engineer Zhou, and with her excellent vision, she could already discern the difficulties they were facing.
It was the last part she and Wen Nuan amended in the engine, where they enhanced the density of the materials used, thereby increasing the weight of the fighter jet as well as its weapon load capacity.
Chief Engineer Zhou, after recovering from his shock, noticed her gaze and his eyes showed increased admiration.
He had several friends working at the Mechanical Research Institute. Among them, he had heard of the current young talents, and in the research department for the Fighter 06, there were several individuals under thirty who were very impressive, one of whom was a student of Professor Chen Han from Imperial University.
Could it be the person in front of him?
***
The event had only transpired in a matter of seconds, and Xu Qianyu finally accepted the incredible fact.
Tang Shu was indeed a consulting advisor arranged to come here by the Mechanical Research Institute, and why she was associated with them, and how a medical student who had just started her junior year and a part-time actress with a significant online following could be so proficient in mechanical knowledge, was very much worth pondering over.
Was she really Aunt Lin’s daughter? The one born to her ex-husband and who lived in the countryside for eighteen years? She had always thought she was just good at her studies.
"Consultant Tang, hello."
She extended her right hand, her gaze regaining its composure, but now with a bit more scrutiny and assessment.
Tang Shu shook her hand, "President Xu, I believe we can begin work?"
Neither of them were fond of each other, so this obligatory handshake did not last long—it was as brief as contact and release, without wasting a second.
"Please."
Xu Qianyu yielded the position, leaving a space open in front of the massive screen wall.
Tang Shu looked at Chief Engineer Zhou, "I believe you were just discussing the density issue of the materials used in Area A?"
"Yes, indeed, we were. I didn’t expect Consultant Tang to notice right away," responded Chief Engineer Zhou in surprise, pointing to a section on the screen and beginning to explain the specific problem they faced.
"The machinery in our current production line cannot achieve the density specified in the design drawings. Forcing production would shorten the lifespan of the engine, but if we lower the density, then the engine’s carrying capacity will significantly decrease..."
Tang Shu stepped forward and pondered for a moment, "So what density can your production line currently achieve?"
Engrossed in their discussion, the two paid no mind to others. Engineer Zhao and Engineer Wu, along with a third person, gradually moved forward, picking up notebooks or laptops to calculate the possibilities that Tang Shu suggested, quickly plunging into the work phase.
Xu Qianyu took a few steps back in her high heels, her gaze fixed on Tang Shu from beginning to end, her expression incredibly complex.
The female assistant who had followed behind had sensed something amiss from the beginning and was the first to pick up on the displeasure emanating from her boss.
"President Xu..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Uh, nothing, you have two meetings tomorrow morning. I’ve sent the materials to your email already."
Any fool could see the boss was in a bad mood at this point; she wasn’t mad enough to blatantly invite trouble, preferring to stick to work instead.
"Back to the office."
"...Huh? But your original plan was to stay here for three hours, and you also intended to invite Consultant Tang to dinner tonight," the assistant remarked, instantly realizing what she had blurted out and nearly biting her tongue off.
She’s done for! She had spoken of the very thing she should’ve avoided—it was like leaving her brain at home today. As foolish as a three-year-old!
As expected, in the following moment, Xu Qianyu’s expression visibly darkened, the air around her filled with displeasure.
She didn’t even need to pay close attention to feel it!
Great, she had thoroughly offended the boss.
