The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month finally came to an end.
This festival is also the last lingering warmth of the Spring Festival. After this day, starting from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival is considered completely over.
The working masses who need to work hard have already returned to their posts one after another as early as the seventh day of the first lunar month. However, children from primary school to university, as well as students, only start school successively after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The whole society will also completely end the influence of the Spring Festival and enter the work and life of the new year.
Xiao Churan’s company became busier, but Ye Chen suddenly had a lot more free time.
He no longer paid attention to the Po Qing Society’s garrison, nor did he let Li Yalin continue to search for clues about the Po Qing Society’s garrison. After all, after the great blood change, he had lost the possibility of subduing the entire garrison. Next time, no matter which garrison he went to, what awaited him would only be the valiant cavalry guards and dead soldiers fighting to the death for their families.
He was not afraid of the group attack from those ordinary martial artists. He just did not want to slaughter them indiscriminately in order to weaken Wu Feiyan’s power.
Some people advocate the underlying logic of “one general’s success is built on ten thousand bones”, believing that those who achieve great things should not be bothered by trifles and not care about the life or death of other individuals. However, Ye Chen could not do that. He could not be so cold-blooded.
Therefore, he simply stopped having any ideas about the Po Qing Society’s garrisons. It was better to rest and recuperate well, and at the same time think of ways to improve his own strength.
Lin Wan’er’s life-saving ring, and the deceptive handprint in the Northern European night sky with flashing aurora, both contained huge secrets for him. He wanted to find an opportunity to retreat and properly study these two things to see what they were really about.
However, retreating was not so easy. Sometimes once in meditation, one forgets the passage of time. With eyes closed and opened, perhaps a week or half a month would pass. If he retreated at home, he was afraid that his family would send him to the hospital for rescue. If he left home to retreat outside, his family would not be able to contact him for such a long time and would be worried to death.
Helplessly, he could only temporarily put aside the matter of retreating.
At the end of the first lunar month, He Yuanjiang from Changying Automobile sent good news to Ye Chen.
On the phone, he told Ye Chen that the 1.0 version prototype of Changying Automobile’s first car had secretly landed in the acquired Gaoheng Automobile assembly plant. He wanted to invite Ye Chen to the Gaoheng Automobile assembly plant to participate in the internal appreciation meeting.
Ye Chen was very surprised and asked him. “Professor He, the first car landed so quickly?”
He Yuanjiang said. “It’s far from that. This is just our trial-produced first-generation prototype. We just first build the 1.0 version of the car to actually feel if there are any oversights or major mistakes in the design drawings and design concepts, and if there are any drawbacks in space usage that were not considered before. Discover problems, correct problems, and then proceed to the production of the 2.0 version. Moreover, this 1.0 version of the car is powerless. We just first build a framework. After there are no major problems in the main design, we will then lay out the power unit and conduct dynamic testing.”
With that, He Yuanjiang assured. “But Young Master Ye, rest assured. We will speed up as quickly as possible on the basis of ensuring quality and quantity. Now we are concentrating a large number of talents and resources to do this, and the efficiency will be very fast!”
Ye Chen praised. “Professor He, with you in charge of Changying Automobile, I feel much more at ease.”
After saying that, he asked. “By the way, when is the prototype appreciation you mentioned, and how long will it take in total? I will make time to go there!”
He Yuanjiang said. “The Gaoheng assembly plant we acquired is not far from Jinling. It only takes a few hours by car. As for the appreciation process, it will probably take five or six hours. We will sort out the problems and immediately manually make quick adjustments to the prototype. The modified version can come out in a few days.”
Ye Chen pondered. “Driving a few hours, the round trip might take most of the day. Plus the appreciation, one day might not be enough. How about this? Arrange a helicopter, and we fly directly there. This way, we can save at least five or six hours and return on the same day.”
He Yuanjiang smiled slightly. “The cost of helicopter general aviation is high. We have not opened this precedent. But since Young Master Ye said so, naturally we will do as you say. Are you available tomorrow morning? I will arrange the helicopter in advance, departing from Changying Automobile’s Jinling headquarters!”
“Available!” Ye Chen agreed and said. “I will arrive on time at eight o’clock tomorrow.”
…
Since he could return on the same day, Ye Chen did not greet his family.
After Xiao Churan went out to the company, he took a taxi to Changying Automobile’s headquarters. Here, together with He Yuanjiang and several core executives, he took a Bell helicopter to fly to the Gaoheng Automobile assembly plant more than two hundred kilometres away.
After the helicopter arrived at the assembly plant, the staff took everyone to a completely enclosed workshop. There was an open space of at least one thousand square metres here, and a stylish sports sedan was quietly parked here.
The appearance of the whole car looked very fashionable. The streamlined front face, widened body, raised tail wing, and nearly thirty centimetre wide tyres all highlighted the positioning of this car, which was mainly sporty.
