Chapter 118
Chapter 118
The two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts. It was just that one of them had stopped growing halfway through.
Sweet, sugary love was displayed to perfection in these two.
From kindergarten to elementary school, middle school, and university, they had never been separated.
Someone asked about high school?
Sorry, but as two people who had gone straight into Yanda’s Gifted Class after graduating middle school, they had never attended!
And now, the two of them had finally sorted out the papers from their academic careers and were preparing to apply to a research institute.
Taking advantage of what little leisure time they had, they came to this highly rated Amusement Park.
Before long, the Human Cannon they were in was ready. With a thunderous boom, the two of them shot into the sky in an instant.
“Baobao, are you scared?”
“We have a parachute, so not that scared!”
A doting voice sounded by their ears. Even though the parachute was moving fast, the boy held the girl tightly in his arms.
He did not even glance at the pull ring beside him.
But the two of them were top students, after all. Based on their rate of descent, they quickly calculated that this parachute could not bear the combined weight of both of them.
“Baobao, we might be in danger soon.”
“Mm, then are you willing to stay with this little friend?”
“Of course I am!”
That was right. Even knowing full well that a fall from here would leave them either dead or severely disabled, neither of them worried in the slightest.
Their eyes held only each other.
When the parachute was fifty meters from the ground, a current of air appeared out of nowhere, slowing their descent.
Zhang “Absolutely Not Human” Bei had always upheld the principle of safety above all else.
How could he possibly allow visitors to fall into danger?
It was just that, up until now, this Air-Powered Device had never been activated before.
“Baobao, looks like the boss really thought things through.”
“Yeah, but shouldn’t you be thinking about why our speed slowed down?”
Hearing his girlfriend’s words, the boy’s gaze instantly locked onto a device on the parachute.
“Thermal Air Power, using an electric structure.”
“Correct! As a reward, let’s hurry up and find the boss. Anyone who can develop a compact structure like this must have an incredibly strong research institute!”
Compared with most couples who were crying and screaming, these two had a warm and cozy vibe that stood out completely in the entire Amusement Park.
The parachute soon brought the two of them back to the ground. After undoing the restraints on their bodies, the boy immediately looked at the staff member beside him.
“Excuse me, where is the boss?”
“Over there. The one sitting on the bench!”
“Thank you!”
The boy pulled his girlfriend along at a light jog, and soon arrived in front of Zhang Bei.
“Boss, boss, may I ask where the Air-Powered Device came from?”
Zhang Bei did not even lift his head. He held a pencil in one hand, writing and sketching on a blank sheet of paper.
“I made it.”
A strange glint flashed through the boy’s eyes when he heard this.
“The second layer of air resistance, miniaturized through the Nabel Physical Molecule?”
“A Thirty-Two Ion Structure, using electric guidance to generate air convection.”
The profound exchange left the few onlookers silent.
They recognized every single word, so why did they have no idea what any of it meant when strung together?
“Boss, we want to apply for a job!”
Only when he heard the words “apply for a job” did Zhang Bei finally raise his head.
The first thing that entered his sight was a tiny figure.
“I don’t hire child labor!”
Zhang Bei felt a headache coming on. No matter how badly he lacked researchers, there was no way he had sunk so low as to recruit a child worker, right?
The boy hurriedly took off his backpack. “Please look at our résumés first!”
Zhang Bei frowned, but he still picked up the résumés and began reading.
The more he read, the quieter he became.
The boy’s name was Du Xin. He was about to receive his doctorate and had come out of Yanda’s Gifted Class.
The girl was Zhu Xiaotong. She was indeed already an adult, and her résumé was almost identical to the boy’s.
Zhang Bei carefully studied the two people in front of him.
“Third Derivation Formula of Electromagnetism!”
Du Xin hesitated for a moment. “Alpha multiplied by beta joules…”
After listening to a long string of formulas, Zhang Bei nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhu Xiaotong.
“Basic Verification Formula for Electromagnetic Theory Data!”
Zhu Xiaotong’s eyes instantly went wide. “Hey, hey, boss, are you doing this on purpose? Why is mine so much more complicated?”
Zhang Bei raised an eyebrow. “Got a problem with that?”
“No!”
Zhu Xiaotong took a deep breath and began speaking at lightning speed. “Based on the structural influence of relativity, using the foundational theory of calculus operations…”
It took a full five minutes before the complex theoretical formula was finally finished.
Zhang Bei gave a slight nod.
Not a single word wrong!
“Can I ask why you’re so determined to apply here?”
Zhu Xiaotong tugged on her boyfriend’s hand. “Because you’ll give us good benefits, boss!”
Zhang Bei immediately felt pleased when he heard that. “Annual salary of one hundred and twenty thousand after tax. Once the results are commercialized, you’ll get shares.”
“Thank you, boss!”
The two exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Was that salary high?
No.
For the two of them, even jobs with million-yuan annual salaries were within reach.
But commercialization of results!
As long as even one product entered the market and sold well, that would mean endless wealth for them.
Zhang Bei sighed and left them the address of the Laboratory. “Go there yourselves. The person in charge is Guan Guo. Just follow his arrangements.”
Watching the two of them leave, Zhang Bei rubbed his chin.
He had a strong feeling this was the System’s doing.
He had wasted an invitation, and in the blink of an eye, two researchers had been delivered to him.
Still, Zhang Bei did not dwell on it. His gaze returned to the blank sheet of paper in his hand.
Since they had basically fallen into his lap for free, he might as well take them in.
Guan Guo could handle the follow-up contracts himself. There was no need to trouble Zhang Bei at all.
Looking at the blank sheet in his hand, Zhang Bei silently sighed.
With one hand, he dialed Director Qi’s number.
“Do you have some time, sir?”
“Go on. What’s the matter?”
“I want to buy land!”
“Hm?”
Director Qi froze for a second. “Land?”
“I’m planning to buy up all the land around the amusement park. Commercial land!”
Director Qi held the phone in one hand and shook his head at the doctor in front of him.
“The land near you isn’t in our hands. I’ll look into it for you tonight!”
Zhang Bei frowned. This was getting troublesome.
The land had already been sold?
If he had to buy it from private owners, the price would be much higher.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Director Qi!”
“No need. Leave this to me. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll think of another way for you.”
After hanging up, Zhang Bei’s brows remained tightly furrowed.
The Amusement Park had not been developing for that long.
No merchant could be sharp enough to predict in advance that the amusement park would become popular, buy the land, and wait for him to come knocking.
Then there was only one explanation!
That land had been bought by someone a long time ago!
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Director Qi looked at the report in his hand and gave a bitter smile.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
“Director Qi, if you continue treatment, there’s still hope of extending your time for a while…”
