Chapter 711
“Here.” Ying beckoned his hand and paused, “Just give it to me.”
The deacon looked up and froze slightly.
Before coming, he had already heard from Xize though that Miss Ying was the prettiest one in the crowd.
Even if there were ten thousand people around her, he would still be able to see her at a glance.
But it was far less impactful than seeing it with his own eyes.
The girl just turned her head casually, her eyes slightly narrowed.
It was as if a stream of light was pouring down, tinkling and tinkling down to the ground in glowing glory.
It was impossible to take one’s eyes off of her.
The deacon reluctantly returned to his senses and respectfully stepped forward, “Hello, Miss Ying, this is a gift for you.”
He took out a box from the folded bag.
In an instant, a golden light filled everyone’s eyes.
Ye Siqing was standing next to Ying Zidian, the closest, and was almost blinded.
Dean Norman was also confused.
There was a moment of silence in the laboratory.
“……”
In everyone’s mind was one thought at this moment.
This was a gold brick specifically carved into a hollowed out box, right?
The World City had stopped having paper money a long time ago, only electronic money.
But gold and jade have always been available.
In an era when foldable bags were rampant, who had nothing better to do than to use a box made of gold to carry things?
Ying pressed his head, really not wanting to take it, but he took it anyway: “Thank you.”
The deacon was also a bit embarra*sed, he lowered his voice: “Miss Ying, sorry, Mr. Luo Lang likes gold, this habit can’t be changed.”
The surname Luo Lang was quite famous in the City of Worlds.
But it wasn’t known as a family, but as a group.
Quite a few shopping malls, including the biggest auction house, were under the name of the Laurent Group.
Although Cesar was usually off the beaten track, as the most prominent person in power in the history of the Laurent family, he was very capable and resourceful.
He was also a direct descendant of the Laurent family, so naturally he easily took over the auction house from the previous owner of the group.
“Now that the items have been delivered, I will leave first.” The deacon nodded slightly towards Dean Norman and the others and smiled slightly again, “If these tickets aren’t enough for Miss Ying, I can always come back to deliver them again.”
After he courteously exited, he closed the door.
Mo Feng didn’t want to stay any longer and spoke again, “Bi’er, let’s go.”
Bi’er did glance at the golden box with some confusion.
But not seeing anything famous, she also withdrew her gaze and followed Mo Feng out.
Dean Norman also gradually came back from the daze of the golden box: “This is ……”
“Well, just a few sheets of paper.” Ying Ziji thought about how she wouldn’t be able to use all the tickets, so she shared one.
As soon as she opened the box, there was another string of blinding golden light.
From the inside out, it said four words – Laozi is rich!
Everyone: “……”
Ying Ziji squeezed the gold box with an expressionless face, and one of the corners of the box was bent straight away.
What should she do to cure this problem of Xize.
“Crap!” The male cadet was the first to react, looking at the golden glowing tickets, “Tickets for the Loran Auction House?!”
When Bi’er was distributing the tickets to Xu Jingshan and the others just now, of course they had looked at them carefully, and it was a lie to say that they were not envious.
The tickets of the Luolang Auction House had always been black and white, when did they change their style?
Ye Siqing murmured, “Not only are they tickets for the Laurent Auction House, but they are also for the A section and the VIP section.”
And there had to be dozens of them in such a pile, right?
“I’m giving them to you.” Ying Ziji placed the tickets one by one on the table, “Take as many as you like.”
Ye Siqing was dumbfounded, “Senior sister Ying, it’s not true?”
“Yes.” Ying Ziji took out another VIP ticket and handed it over, “Dean Norman, this is yours.”
“I have one too?” Dean Norman was surprised, “You don’t keep it for yourself-”
The word “stay” was cut off by the five VIP tickets in the girl’s hand.
Every time a preview was put out for the auction, the tickets were a sell-out.
Not to mention, tickets for the VIP section were not for sale to the public at all.
Tickets for the VIP section allow you to take three lots for free, with no price cap.
Dean Norman had only taken tickets for the VIP section twice.
He rubbed his hands together, “Hey, good, apprentice–”
Ying Zigui gave him a look and reminded, “Dean.”
Dean Norman immediately swallowed back his words, majestic: “Prepare yourselves well for the experiment in a few days, quite a few people are watching.”
At those words, no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone in group b was carefully observing the golden ticket.
Dean Norman didn’t mind either.
It was a rare day when he followed his apprentice and mixed meat.
It was not a generally wonderful mood.
He tucked the ticket for the VIP section in his pocket and wandered leisurely back to his lab.
After taking out the ticket again and taking a picture, he sent it to Sinai.
[Look, how nice your little sister is, she even gave me a VIP ticket for the Laurent auction, why don’t you even show filial respect to your teacher me?
A dozen seconds later, there was a new reply.
[Sinai]: I can give you all the little dresses.
Dean Norman: “……”
This apprentice of his was getting out of sorts.
I can’t believe he’s even started wearing little dresses.
**
The next day.
Noon.
In the coffee shop.
Ying took out a VIP ticket: “Sir, here.”
“Hm?” Fu Yunshen also instantly recognised whose style this was, his peach blossom eyes raised, “Yoyo, the heart is in the right place, I was about to give you a ticket too.”
He took out three tickets.
These were also VIP tickets, but they were black.
Ying Ziji was silent for a moment, “I want this one, these are for you.”
Fu Yunshen looked at the golden tickets that were shoved into his hand, hooked his lips and smiled: “Fine.”
He raised his hand and pushed over a plate of desserts: “They’ve just been made.”
Ying Ziji picked up her fork.
Just after taking the first bite, she ate it out: “You made this?”
Fu Yunshen lifted his eyes at that, “Well, I’m afraid the dessert here is not what you’re used to.”
“Big brother!”
A voice called out in surprise.
The fifth young master rushed in, sweating profusely, “Brother, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as he recognised him: “Looking for me? What do you want?”
“I’m looking for you to spar with me.” The fifth young master grumpily sat down in the empty seat next to him.
Fu Yunshen didn’t answer, he looked down.
The silver wine spoon twirled between his slender fingers, transforming into a stream of light.
It didn’t take long to mix a C*cktail.
Fu Yunshen lazily said, “Yoyo, here.”
It was only then that the fifth young master noticed that there was a girl sitting across the table.
He froze for a moment: “This is ……”
Without waiting for any reply, the fifth young master immediately said loudly and proudly, “I know! This is sister-in-law.”
Ying Zigui’s hand lurched.
Here came another second fool.
“That said, big brother, you were really bullheaded that day.” The fifth young master smothered a mouthful of iced coffee, “That was the First Lady, you did it straight away, that was awesome, I want to learn from you.”
Ying Zidian looked up, “That one?”
“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen was faint, “It’s just a test, I’m checking.”
But the fifth young master listened with trepidation.
This was just a test, and it had cost Zhu Sha half his life.
If it were real, would Vermilion still be alive?
“So what, big brother, just the matter of the auntie, I’m not very clear.” The fifth young master hesitated, “I’ve just heard my father say that auntie mother is very beautiful.”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t show up in public much, she could definitely be on par with Madam Su Wen.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes twitched slightly.
He knew all these things.
“And ah, big brother-”
“Don’t call me big brother.”
“Huh?”
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes scattered, “You’re too old.”
The fifth young master, who had already pa*sed his twenty-sixth birthday but was very far down the list: “……”
**
Two days later, July 30th.
Today is the date when the experiment is due.
The lab report and a series of other documents need to be submitted to the tutor in advance, in the morning.
In the afternoon, the Engineering Institute will hold a test flight ceremony live on the w network.
The small spaceships a*sembled by both group a and group b have been transported to the launch site by the staff.
Biel sent the experiment reports to her mentor’s email address and prepared to sort out the relevant matters for the afternoon’s test flight.
The fact that team b was able to make the small spaceship was already a surprise to her.
But being able to make it and being able to succeed were two different things.
Bea turned around and went out of the lab.
A luxury car stopped in front of her.
The door opened and the woman stepped out, the guard next to her handing her a cloak.
She looked up and there was a backwards intake of breath all around her.
Others picked up their phones and were taking pictures.
“Miss Bi’er, is that Madam Su Wen?” Xu Jingshan was stunned, “She hasn’t aged in these twenty years, is she here to see your test flight ceremony?”
Bi’er also froze.
Although her father was Lu Yuan’s brother-in-law, after all, he had once lost the election for the Great House, and their two factions had nothing to do with each other.
Su Man would come to watch her test flight ceremony?
Bi’er thought for a moment, but still walked towards the woman.
Chapter 712
Bi’er was a popular person at the Institute, and with her frequent live broadcasts on the W network, all the new and old participants knew her.
Seeing her go to Su Wen, the people around her took a slight step back and made way.
Bi’er called out respectfully, “Eldest aunt.”
Su Man stopped and looked at the sound as if she had only just seen Bi’er.
She seemed a little surprised, but there was no fluctuation of emotion on her face, only a slight nod of her head: “You’re here too?”
The three words were plain and simple, but they were like a pot of cold water poured over her head, directly waking her up.
Bi’er’s expression stiffened, and it was obvious that the voices around her had dropped.
A flush rose to her face and she bowed her head, her voice lowered to a whisper: “Eldest Aunt, what brings you here today?”
“I came to take a look.” Su Wen didn’t say much, gathered her cloak and nodded, “You go about your business, I won’t bother you.”
After saying that, she went straight inside the Institute without giving Bi’er another glance.
Bea’s body froze in place, only to feel a rush of blood to her head, her brain filling with blood, and a momentary ringing in her ears.
The others around her also noticed the end and scowled at her for a few moments before they too dispersed.
Xu Jingshan was half ashamed, half surprised, “Su, Madam Su Wen didn’t come to see you, Miss Bi’er?”
Was there anyone else from the Lehngar family at the Institute, apart from Bi’er?
It seemed that there were a few other members of the side line, but in terms of status, none of them were as high as Bi’er.
Who else was worth a personal trip for Su Wen?
“Shut your mouth.” Bi’er was in a bad mood, her eyes sank a few notches, “I’m going to find my mentor, the test flight ceremony this afternoon is crucial, all get ready.”
She should have known that she shouldn’t have come forward.
As a second cla*s citizen, could Xu Jingshan be clear about how intense the infighting between the Leingale family was?
Bi’er left with an iron face.
Xu Jingshan also knew he was in the wrong and slunk away, not daring to speak again.
** The
In the research institute.
Team b has also submitted the experiment report.
Ying turned his head: “We’ll meet at the launch site at two o’clock in the afternoon, don’t have any burden on your mind, both test flights can be completed.”
The first test flight won’t carry people.
Only the second time will send astronauts up.
If both failed the first time, naturally there would be no second time.
Ye Siqing nodded, “Senior sister Ying, with you around, of course we don’t have a mental burden.”
She hesitated for a moment, “But I just heard that the spacecraft designed by group A is capable of making a space jump of thirty thousand light years.”
That was even further than they were.
If both groups had produced spaceships, naturally, whichever one flew farther would score higher.
And, if the A group came first in the count, Bea would be able to get the S rank researcher qualification.
“Eighty percent chance of not being able to make the jump.” Ying Ziyi looked sideways, “Senior Sister Ye, didn’t I tell you that there was a problem with that drawing you had earlier?”
“Right.” Ye Siqing nodded, “But when Xu Jingshan went to Group A, the core power unit would not be allowed to be made by him, he could only make the wings and other parts.”
“But his thought process hasn’t changed.” Ying Ziyi sounded lightly, “The diagram he drew of the core power unit at that time, because he was too much in pursuit of high power, he neglected the balance.”
“Even if he was just making wings, or other devices, this would have happened.”
Ye Siqing snapped to attention in response, “What Schoolmate Ying means is that their spaceship will simply explode, I’m afraid?”
Once it had even lost its balance, how could it still fly?
“Probably.” Ying Ziji took out her baseball cap and put it on, waving her hand slightly, “We’ll find out in the afternoon.”
She and Ye Siqing parted ways and went to the small woods behind the dormitory building.
Su Man was already waiting there.
The woman stood quietly under the willow tree, the wind lifting the hem of her skirt.
The sunlight fell on her visor, scattering sparse shadows.
It was as if time had not lingered on her, so beautiful that it looked like an ancient painting.
Ying Zidian’s footsteps paused before he stepped forward, “Auntie.”
“Knowing that you are tired from doing experiments these days, I have specially stewed soup.” Su Wen stepped forward and held the girl’s hand, her eyes unconsciously softened, “It’s already in the insulation unit, you can have it with your cla*smates at lunchtime later.”
Ying nodded, “Thank you, auntie.”
“How about it, are you sure about the test flight ceremony today?” Su Wen pulled her down on the bench next to her, “I specifically logged on to the live streaming section of w.com to check, and there are already 200,000 reservations.”
“It’s a sure thing.” Ying Ziji looked at the sky, “If it goes well, it can fly out of the galaxy.”
But it was still far, far away from her goal.
“It’s impressive to fly this far on your first try.” Su Wen nodded her head, and when she looked up, she saw a slender, straight figure coming this way.
There was a low, slow voice with a smile ringing out, “Yoyo.”
Su Wen was a little surprised, more surprised: “Is it a boyfriend?”
Ying Zigui beckoned and nodded slightly, “Yes.”
Su Wen’s eyes held a wistful look, a soft smile under her eyebrows, “I was also at your age when I met Abuchi.”
Nineteen years old, the best of years.
It was only when the man walked in that Su Man got a good look at his face.
Peach blossom eyes, with light amber pupils.
Handsome in appearance, with cold white skin.
A natural demon’s face, subversive to all.
Fu Yunshen rubbed the girl’s head and nodded towards Su Man, “Auntie, I’m really troubling you, she’s a picky eater but loves the snacks you make.”
She didn’t answer, but her expression was a bitter one: “Is your mother’s surname Fu and her name Liu Ying?”
Fu Yunshen’s hand gave a beat and his eyelashes twitched slightly, “Does your aunt know my mother?”
“I don’t know her, but I have met her.” Su Wen sighed, “She also gave me a bottle of perfume that cured my insomnia for years.”
“She was a very strong person and I was impressed with her, and then I heard something about her and the Jade family after I married into the Leingold family.”
Fu Liu Ying was good at mixing incense.
The incense she mixed had a variety of functions and was all the rage in the imperial capital and Shanghai City.
“Miss Fu she-” Su Wen keenly noticed a fluctuation in the man’s mood, she changed the subject and smiled, “Let’s take a walk together.”
**
Afternoon.
Quite a few people arrived at the launch site.
Norton came too.
He wore a mask and didn’t show his face, but his silver hair was still very much on display.
Not to mention that he was accompanied by a little 120cm girl.
The people around him turned to look at this extremely incongruous pair.
Sinai was short and the crowd was so large that she couldn’t see in front of her.
When she crouched down and pressed the button on her shoe, as she always did, she ended up touching it in vain.
Sinai looked down, at her new shoes, and fell into silence: “……”
She had forgotten that her dress shoes had been changed.
A lazy voice dropped from above her head, “Want to see?”
Sinai lifted her head, met the deep dark green eyes once more and nodded.
Norton wrapped his arms around them and bowed his head slightly, “Beg me.”
Sinai: “……”
Why is this man so bad.
Sinai looked over and spotted a tree next to her.
With her fist in the air, she was ready to climb it.
But before she could get past it, her collar was yanked, followed by her feet fading off the ground.
“Tsk.” Norton lifted the little girl up with one hand and placed her on his shoulder, carelessly, “I’ll reluctantly let you have a look then.”
Sinai shrank into a ball, not daring to move.
She missed being by Ying Zigui’s side so much.
Although Ying Zidian also liked to carry her like this, he would not bully her.
On the side, Xi Ze, who saw this scene, spat out a mouthful of water, “Cough cough cough!”
He choked, and after a long time, he smiled, “Dog scum, you have your day too.”
To prevent Sinai from falling off, Norton didn’t turn his head and smiled coldly, “It’s got nothing to do with you?”
“It’s okay is okay, I just wanted to laugh.” Cesar shrugged, “It’s rare to see another side of you like that, make sure you smile more.”
Seeing Norton like this, he decided he’d rather not raise kids.
Give himself a hard time.
Sinai shot a look at Sizer, tempted to grab his golden hair, “Is he a Sage too?”
“He’s not.” Norton faded, “Sit up straight.”
“Oh.”
Sinai responded, his attention already drawn away.
Ahead of them, two small spaceships were set up in the centre of the launch site, allowing for three people to enter space.
The live feed had also been connected to the w-net, and more and more people were entering the live feed.
Spaceships were already common in the City of Worlds.
Anyone can go to Mars and Jupiter if they have the money to buy a ticket.
[Here for Miss Biel].
[For +1]
[This was easy for Miss Biel, who was able to design the core power unit of the spaceship last year.]
Biel was standing next to the testing equipment with a bit of pride.
As long as she came first in this experiment, the title of S-cla*s researcher would be in her hands.
She glanced at the other spaceship and quickly withdrew her gaze.
The contempt was clear.
“She’s so annoying.” Ye Siqing frowned, “It hasn’t even flown yet, so maybe it’ll just explode like you said, Senior Sister Ying.”
Ying Ziji rolled up her sleeves, “Don’t mind the others, just watch.”
On the other side.
“Mentor Mo Feng, you will be the one to launch it.” The staff member took a step back, respectfully.
Mo Feng nodded and sat down in front of the launcher, then pressed the button.
With a “boom”, the group A spaceship quickly took off into the air.
The speed was slow to fast, and it quickly flew high into the sky.
It was smooth and steady, and was still gradually rising.
[As expected of Miss Biel.
[Another day of calling for Miss Bi’er!
Mo Feng also revealed a smile.
This was Bi’er’s first complete spaceship, and it meant a lot to him.
“It’s already in space.” The crew readily tested, “Wait until stable flight, ready to make a space jump.”
However, just as those words fell.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion came from high in the sky.
By this time the spaceship had risen to a height that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
But the ground instruments responsible for the inspection showed it clearly.
The monitoring screen showed that one of the wings on the right side of the spaceship built by Team A had suddenly burst open out of nowhere.
Sparks could even be seen flying from it.
When the wing burst, the spaceship lost its balance and swayed in the air.
Although it was still able to fly, it was definitely unable to make a space jump, let alone fly out of the solar system.
Mo Feng’s complexion changed.
The voices in the crowd came to an abrupt halt.
Even the reporters responsible for the live broadcast were frozen, not reacting for a moment.
After a few seconds, the pop-ups in the live broadcast room exploded.
[F*ck, failed??]
[No way, I’m blind, how could it have failed?
[This isn’t even a spatial jump!
Bea took a deep breath and her face was so sunken that it could almost drip water: “The wings, who was responsible for designing them?”
Because Su Wen suddenly woke up, the situation of the Leingel family for twenty years was broken in one go.
For the last week, Bea had been frequently commuting between her home and the Institute, and some of the steps she had handed over to the group members.
The members of group a looked at each other and all looked at Xu Jingshan in unison.
Xu Jingshan’s face also froze as he stammered, “Bi, Miss Bi’er, it’s me, I ……”
He had obviously tested the data several times to confirm that there was absolutely nothing wrong, so how did the wing suddenly explode?
Xu Jingshan suddenly remembered what Ying Ziyi said when he defected from Team B at that time –
“There’s something very wrong with this drawing, it can’t be used.”
In the past ten days, Xu Jingshan hadn’t taken this statement to heart at all.
But now, the words resounded clearly in his ears.
Could it be that ……
The main reporter was embarra*sed as he wiped the sweat from his head, “Unfortunately, the test flight of group a has unfortunately failed, next is group b.”
Although that was what was said, the main reporter was not much interested.
Group a had failed, so group b, which was the backup group, could not be expected to excel either.
