Chapter 423
Although she didn’t go to the project presentation, Ying followed it and also went on the extranet to read the comments.
She raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence, both of them were here.
She found that there were still quite a lot of prophets nowadays.
Ying leaned back on her bed, looking detached, and logged onto the nok forum with her computer.
As soon as she went up, several messages popped up.
[Only love money]: !!!
[Only Love Money]: Boss, I’m being bullied.
The God Reckoner]: One door doesn’t go out, and you can still be bullied?
The only thing I love is money]: There is a venus group, forget what the name of this group is totally unimportant, you wouldn’t care about that anyway boss, anyway they gave you the project of the cosmic carrier and invested 200 billion.
I only invested 100 billion, what is this if not bullying me? Is he trying to compete with me for money?
[Only Love Money]: Boss, this is also provoking you, the things in my treasure trove are also yours.
[Divine Reckoner]: ……
Ying Ziji glanced at the direction of the door.
At this time, Wen Fengmian had already gone to bed, but did not cut off the electricity to her.
It was because a certain executive of the venus group who had bullied Cesar Laurent was now lying on the sofa.
She was able to use the electricity for a while longer.
The phone rings again.
[Only love money]: Can I stand this? This is a provocation!
Ying Zidian raised her eyebrows and was about to reply when a new message came.
I’m going to lie down and sleep on the gold, I won’t be a part of the venus group, I’m going to laugh at them and waste money!
Ying Ziji: “……”
Sure enough, it was the same middle-aged silly kid.
There was a soft knock on the door at that moment.
The man’s tone was low: “Are you asleep, Yao Yao?”
Ying Ziyi didn’t want to move, she just replied, “No, you can come in.”
Fu Yunshen pressed the door handle, pushed the door open and came in.
The girl was wearing a white nightgown and was leaning quietly on the bed.
The moonlight shone in through the window, falling on her white calves, seemingly gathered in a thin veil.
It was seductive.
Fu Yunshen looked pale, picked up a towel quilt and covered Ying Zidian with it.
Sitting down next to her again, he raised an eyebrow: “When are you going to officially take me to meet your parents?”
“You’re so obvious today, my dad and grandpa can see it.” Ying yawned, unconcerned, “What’s the worry?”
It was Fu Yunshen who had rescued her, and both Elder Zhong and Wen Fengmian knew about it.
The fact is that the old man is always saying that the cabbage has been swallowed by a pig, but he is actually very satisfied with Fu Yunshen.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
He has never felt very secure, and he will also suffer from insecurity.
He had always felt that it was his fault that people close to him were leaving one by one.
For this reason, he even went to have his fortune read to see if he was some kind of God-fearing loner.
“It’s my first time to fall in love, and my first time to have a boyfriend.” Ying looked up, her voice light, “But I will learn how to be a good girlfriend, we can learn together.”
“You don’t have to worry, in my life, there will be no one else but you.”
The tone of the words was very flat, but it was like a shocking wave that hit the eardrums of the listener.
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes moved slightly and he suddenly smiled, pressing her hand: “You make my heart beat fast, do you want to touch it?”
This time Ying Zidian didn’t break free and her fingers were carried over.
The man’s chest was broad, warm and strong.
After touching it, she yawned and lazily commented, “Nice pecs.”
“Hmm?” Fu Yunshen also leaned back on the bed, back to his dandy scattered look, “Specially for you to train, and abs, ready to wait.”
Ying Ziji glanced at him before kicking him, “Getting ahead of yourself.”
“Alright, down to business, it’s not peaceful lately, I’ll send you to the ancient martial world to recuperate for a while.” Fu Yun Shen stroked her hair, his forehead against hers, and whispered, “I contacted the Ye family, they will settle you down, Yun Shan will also follow you, as for my brother, I have to go out for a trip.”
Although the Ancient Martial World was very turbulent, and the large and small families were in constant strife.
But one had to admit that, at the moment, the Ancient Martial World was indeed the safest place to be.
Even that black skeleton symbol would definitely not dare to enter the Ancient Martial World.
Ancient martial artists who had cultivated for more than two hundred years were all hidden from the world.
No one was clear about the true strength of the Ancient Martial World.
Ying Ziji paused and wrinkled his brows, “I want to talk to you-”
“Shh, listen, children should not interfere in the affairs of adults.” Fu Yunshen pinched her face again, “What about brother, I don’t want you to overwork yourself.”
Ying Ziyi was not slow, “Overworking, grows wrinkles, old people.”
“……”
“Attacking my age again?” Fu Yunshen turned around, his eyes slightly deep, “Yao Yao, do you think I should punish you?”
Before Ying could say anything, she was hugged.
He was even closer to her.
She could clearly feel his breath, and his lips.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
His lips swept over hers and eventually just landed on her forehead.
A soft laugh.
“Good night, girlfriend.”
**
The following day.
Eight o’clock in the morning, o-continental time.
The presentation of the Cosmic Carrier Project officially started.
Many of the media arrived at the presentation at the first opportunity.
Helvin’s status in both the scientific research community and o-continent was extremely high, and his first-hand news was extremely valuable.
“A lot of people have asked me why I opened the Cosmic Carrier project.” Helvin pushed up his gla*ses and smiled a little “As we all know, we have been exploring the universe for decades, but we are still only at the tip of the iceberg.”
“There is definitely other life in the universe, and scientific instruments have captured signals from outer space before, but none of us have ever seen whether life in outer space actually exists.”
“I’ve been studying quantum mechanics in the hope of helping the world unravel this puzzle, and this is all I can envision.”
On the big screen was a PowerPoint created by an a*sistant and several researchers.
In it were preliminary sketches of Helvin’s cosmic carrier, as well as some proprietary names and theoretical knowledge.
The media, however, were not interested in this knowledge of quantum mechanics, but had to force themselves to wait.
After Helvin had finished his report, his a*sistant took over the microphone, “Any questions you have, you can all ask them now.”
The media, who had been listening drowsily, finally came to their senses and handed over the microphone and started asking questions.
“Professor Helvin, what gave you the courage to open this project of a space carrier? Do you think you have reached the point where your intelligence is capable of developing the universe?”
“Professor Helvin, I don’t know if you’ve read the comments on social media, but many people are saying that you are daydreaming, do you admit that?”
“Professor Helvin, I have to ask, you don’t even have the funds, and the space carrier project requires an extremely large amount of capital investment, is it possible that you have found a more powerful investor than the Pazzi family?”
One question was sharper than the other.
The media were asking these questions just to get attention, without taking into account Helvin’s mood.
But instead of getting angry, Helvin was calm.
He pushed up his gla*ses again, took a step back and gave a slight grunt with his hands behind his back.
Let’s see who was the fool for a moment.
“I’m glad everyone is so interested in this project of a space carrier.” The one in charge of answering was the a*sistant, who looked agitated, “The lab was facing closure after the Pazzi family pulled their funding.”
“The professor and I are also in a difficult position, not knowing how we can keep the project going. ”
“But thanks to a researcher in our lab, she pulled in two big investments for us.” The a*sistant pressed a button and lowered the curtain behind him, “Please look at the big screen, gentlemen, this is all the money we have.”
“We promise that not a single cent will be wasted, and we will disclose the use of the money to the entire community when the time comes, so please monitor it.”
“Once the project of the cosmic carrier is successful, it will benefit the whole society.”
Naturally, the middle-aged man heard these words, but he just laughed contemptuously.
Hurwin could still pull in big investments?
It was a fantasy.
Who would dare to risk offending the Pazzi family by investing?
He could say one word and no family or group on the O Continent would invest in a space carrier project.
Do you really think it’s the Laurent family?
The middle-aged man lost interest in looking any further and faded: “Go away.”
But the steward didn’t move, his eyes widened, staring dead at the two strings of numbers on the big screen, and he lost his voice: “Family head, look, this, this ……”
The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks and looked over impatiently.
Chapter 424
On the big screen, the names of the two investors were clearly written, along with the amount of investment.
venus group: 200 billion
Laurent family: 100 billion
300 billion in total.
Below that was also written the lab’s allocation of funds against the 300 billion.
The project of the cosmic carrier was so big that those expenses of the researchers in the laboratory alone would take up a large portion.
Not to mention the need to purchase rare metal materials and so on.
The space carrier proposed by Helvin was different from the current spacecraft.
It would have to reach the true speed of light and be able to travel to galaxies tens of billions of light years away, as depicted in many science fiction movies.
By controlling a button, it could make a space jump, a real leap of billions of miles.
But the current level of technology has no way to support the successful birth of a cosmic carrier.
It would have to be pushed back at least another fifty years before it could.
That’s why the middle-aged man had refused to invest, because it was a bottomless pit.
But now, the figure of 300 billion was reflected on the big screen, as if a slap was slapped in his face.
The middle-aged man’s face turned blue.
The venus group was barely understandable, what was the Laurent family after?
“……”
All voices also came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
Whether it was the Laurent family or the venus group, both names were a king’s bomb for the O Continent.
The media forgot to film, and the netizens watching the live stream went crazy.
[Where is yesterday’s prophet? Come on out, it’s awesome, they really invited both the Roland family and the venus group.
[Invite both! Hervin’s a real bully!
The Pazzi family are green in the face, and Hervin doesn’t care about his investment, with the Laurent family.
The Venus Group has invested in research projects in the past, but not in such large numbers, so why do I get the feeling that the Venus Group is fighting with the Laurent family?
[On the surface: Stop fighting! Inside me: fight fight fight!
Hervé glanced at the reaction of the press and others on stage, lowered his voice and asked, “Look, did it scare them to death?”
The a*sistant was delighted: “Yes, I was scared to death.”
Mr. Ying is Mr. Ying, he shook up the whole audience as soon as he made his move.
The venus group had initially intended to invest only 30 billion, but then suddenly changed its mind.
200 billion!
The a*sistant asked why, and the other party made it clear that they weren’t sure, only that it was a direct order from above.
But then the a*sistant was sure that this investment was also pulled by Ying Zigui.
The a*sistant smiled amiably, “Does anyone have anything else to ask?”
“Please, please ask Professor Helvin.” A reporter stammered, “Who is this researcher?”
For a project of this level, the identity of the researcher in the laboratory was encrypted, and even if one went to find out, it would be impossible to find out.
Only when the project was finally successful would all the researchers be announced in order according to their contributions.
“Sorry, we are not at liberty to reveal that.” The a*sistant shook her head and smiled, “The only thing we can say is that she is the first researcher apart from the professor.”
First researcher!
That word sent a shock through the media.
Once the cosmic carrier was really successfully developed, this researcher would certainly be remembered by the whole world.
The names of some physicists were already starting to pa*s through their minds.
“So please don’t worry, Mr. Pazzi, the laboratory will still be open.” This time, it was Hervin himself who spoke up, his eyes falling on the middle-aged man, “When the time comes, after the cosmic carrier is developed, we will ask the Laurent family and the venus group what they want.”
“Let’s see if we want to give you a ticket to the ship, Mr Pazzi, when the time comes. ”
Helvin was mild-mannered and usually didn’t get into trouble with anyone.
But this time, the Pazzi family was trying to move his laboratory.
If the Laurent family and the venus group had not invested in time, even if the laboratory still had money, the Pazzi family would have strongly suppressed it.
This is something that Helvin will not tolerate.
At this point, it was the middle-aged man who had the camera in the hands of the media, scrambling to start asking questions.
“Mr Pazzi, you withdrew your investment, but the Laurent family backhandedly invested 100 billion, does that prove that they are bullish on the project and your vision is not?”
“I heard that the Pazzi family and the Laurent family have a deep ancestral connection, Mr Pazzi, do you think the Laurent family is deliberately working against you?”
“Mr. Pazzi ……”
The steward didn’t expect things to turn out this way either, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Originally, they had come to suppress Helvin, but now they were the target of ridicule instead.
The middle-aged man’s face sank as he pushed away one of the media that had stopped him and gritted his teeth, “Go back to the clan.”
**
Ancient Martial World.
The Ye Family.
The Ye Family was not considered a large family in the Ancient Martial World, a little smaller than the Ling Family, but it was considered a leader among medium-sized families.
The biggest advantage of the Ye family was that there was less strife, to be safer and more suitable for nurturing the body.
Yunshan was sent by Fu Yunshen to follow Ying Zigui, and together they went to the Ye family.
The Ye family head had already received the news and came out to greet him personally.
In the parlour, there was also Madam Ye and several sons and daughters of the Ye family as well as some guards.
Upon seeing the girl come in, they all looked over, none of them being stunned.
Of course, it was only stunning.
The rest was nothing more, and several of the sons and daughters withdrew their gazes with interest.
What the ancient martial world valued most was still strength.
Money, status and beauty were not as valuable as the worldly things that could be obtained at one’s fingertips as long as the force was high enough.
On the contrary, Madam Ye kept looking at them, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
“Miss Ying, welcome.” The Ye family head was delighted, “The room has been prepared for you, you can stay here for as long as you like.”
“If there is anything you need, please also tell me in time, it will be ready for you immediately.”
Ying Zidian nodded slightly, “I’m sorry for your trouble.”
“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all, as it should be.” The Ye family head urged, “Ye Ling, you take Miss Ying for a stroll, make sure you don’t neglect her.”
“Miss Ying is an ordinary person, remember to stay away from those places in the school grounds.”
Normally, ancient martial artists were not allowed to strike at ordinary people.
But in the midst of ancient martial artists and ancient martial artists fighting each other, a little bit of internal energy spilling out in all directions could easily seriously injure ordinary people.
Yun Shan hung his head and tried hard to hold in his laughter, not daring to speak.
Ordinary people.
He had never really seen an ordinary person like Miss Ying.
“Okay, Dad.” Ye Ling nodded earnestly, “I know.”
The Ye family head thought for a moment before suddenly speaking again, “Ye Heng, you also go along and protect Miss Ying’s comfort.”
Hearing these words, Ye Heng raised his head and opened his mouth, “Dad, you know, I’m going over to the ancient medical world, Miss Qingjia she ……”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Ye family head: “You can go tomorrow too, this matter is more important.”
Ye Heng clenched his fist, and the veins on his forehead jumped.
He was still reluctant, but he could only respond, “Yes, I know.”
“Miss Ying, I will invite you to dine at the Water Moon in the evening.” The Ye family head had a kind voice, “I wonder if there is anything you are avoiding? I’ll ask them to pay a little attention when cooking.”
The Moon in the Water was a small pavilion of the Ye family, located on the lake, where you could enjoy the moon at night.
Ying thought for a moment, “I don’t eat coriander, bean sprouts, garlic or chopped onions.”
“Fine, fine.” House Master Ye took note of them all, “Then you can go for a stroll first, and ask them anything you don’t understand.”
Ye Ling stepped forward, “Miss Ying, this way please.”
Ying Ziji nodded, “Good.”
Yunshan followed.
Ye Heng clenched his fist, and under the warning glare of the Ye family head, he had to stand up and follow.
The buildings within the Ancient Martial Realm were no different from the imperial dynasty period, they were still the same as before.
Ying Ziji propped herself up against the wall, her eyelashes drooping and her gaze longingly reminiscing about the past.
That is, until she saw a portrait hanging behind the incense.
She lifted her head and her eyes paused.
Naturally, Ye Ling noticed her movement and looked over as well, dazed: “This, Miss Ying, are you quite curious about the person in this portrait?”
Ying Ziji smiled lightly, “Yes, I’m curious.”
“Miss Ying is new to the Ancient Martial World, she may not know that this portrait is the strongest Ancient Martial Artist in our Ancient Martial World at the moment.” Ye Ling pointed to the man in that portrait and smiled, “He doesn’t belong to any clan and I’m not qualified to know his name.”
“He lives nowhere, even the old ancestors of our family don’t know exactly where he is.”
“That’s why we all call him the First Ancient Martial Artist, he ……”
Ye Heng, who had walked to the front, was impatient to hear.
He turned back with a cold expression and directly interrupted Ye Ling, “What are you talking so much to her for, she’s an ordinary person, can she be of any use knowing this?”
