I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 325 - Abbess Miejue

Chapter 325 Abbess Miejue

“Here you go, Master.” Xu Nan handed the materials over to Ye Lingchen without thinking.

Ye Lingchen turned it page by page, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The driverless technology was theoretically achievable and the design concept was also rather good. However, there were a few aspects that were too idealized and lacked proper consideration.

The so-called details determined success or failure, especially when it came to technology. A tiny mistake would lead to catastrophic consequences, and if one were to design driverless vehicles in such a manner, the probability of a car accident would be extremely high. One car accident alone may involve countless lives!

Clack, clack, clack!

The clear sound of rushed footsteps was heard hurrying toward Ye Lingchen. He seemed not to care and continued looking at the last page.

However, the next moment—

A pair of hands reached out in front of Ye Lingchen and snatched the information away rapidly. A cold voice was then heard asking, “Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?”

“Cousin, this is my master. You have to be polite!” Xu Nan frowned and spoke in a displeased tone.

“Xu Nan, what do you take this place for? Are you allowed to bring any outsiders in?” Ouyang Qing chastised Xu Nan, “You’re not an employee of the company. If not for your father, you won’t be able to take one step into the company. As I’ve told you last time, it’s best not to enter this floor!”

“You know that this is my dad’s company so I can come whenever I want, and I can bring whoever I want to bring. Are you going to control me?” Xu Nan’s expression sank. She had always been amenable to coaxing, but not coercion.

“Cousin, Lingchen is my student and he saved Xu Nan. He’s not an outsider.” Xu Wanqing stood up and chimed in.

“Hehe, there’s no use telling me this!” Ouyang Qing snickered repeatedly. “Do you know how many people view our company as a thorn in their side? Just this month, we caught sixteen commercial spies! They all came because they wanted to steal our technology! Do you know how much impact it will have on our company if they were successful?”

“My master is not a spy!” Xu Nan also glared at Ouyang Qing.

“What do you two hothouse flowers know? It’s so easy to get close to you and gain your trust.” Ouyang Qing shook her head disdainfully.

At that time, Ye Lingchen looked up at Ouyang Qing. She was taller than Xu Wanqing and was probably around 1.76 meters. She had black-framed glasses and was clothed in a uniform. Moreover, it had to be admitted that Xu Wanqing’s family had strong genes. Her beauty was not inferior to Xu Wanqing, and her temperament of a strong career woman was just the opposite of Xu Wanqing’s aloofness from worldly affairs. Nevertheless, they each had their charm.

In short, she gave off a cold, strong, confident, and mature vibe.

Ouyang Qing also looked at Ye Lingchen. Her eyes were very aggressive and her gaze was sharp like a sword. “You broke into our company illegally, and read our company’s most confidential file. I have the right to call the police and detain you. This kind of secret might even be considered as national security. Getting locked up for ten or eight years is deemed a light sentence!”

“Abbess Miejue! I AM the police! I can confirm that this is criminal intimidation!” Xu Nan shielded Ye Lingchen and said coldly.

“I really never expected that you would bring an outsider in. I’ll tell the boss about this!” Ouyang Qing snorted and looked at Ye Lingchen with his eyes narrowed. “Regarding this, you’d better not mention it to any outsiders. If anyone out there knows, I’ll sue you immediately and let you spend the rest of your life in prison!”

Ye Lingchen’s expression remained unchanging right from the very beginning. He was extremely calm. His gaze was also rather tranquil as he looked at Ouyang Qing. Eventually, he could not resist bursting out in laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” Ouyang Qing frowned. Her voice was sullen.

She was very displeased with Ye Lingchen’s attitude—it was too calm and he did not take her seriously at all.

Wherever she went, people trembled in awe and called out CEO Ouyang. Ye Lingchen should have been scared and helpless.

“Your ignorance is laughable.” Ye Lingchen shook his head.

By then, it was only natural that the events attracted the attention of other people. Many were watching from afar, and when they heard Ye Lingchen’s words, they were all slightly surprised.

That there were people brave enough to call Ouyang Qing ignorant was simply too unimaginable.

“What did you say?” Ouyang Qing was briefly stunned before she snapped back at him.

“You take this error-ridden piece of technology and treat it like a treasure. This is a curse, not a blessing!” Ye Lingchen’s voice was faint and neither too domineering nor too servile.

“A bunch of nonsense!” An old man stepped out of the crowd. He was obviously very agitated and he pointed at Ye Lingchen while trembling. “This is a lucky breakthrough that our entire team achieved after a full six years of research. You... How dare you disrespect scientific achievements? What a fart!”

“How could this technology be wrong? We’ve tried it countless times.”

“This guy is spewing nonsense!”

Ye Lingchen’s words undoubtedly incited plenty of anger. Everyone was pointing fingers at him.

“This is ridiculousness to the extreme! Do you know what intelligent system technology is?” Ouyang Qing smiled as if she heard the funniest thing in the world. She then said coldly, “Please get out of our company, now!”

“Forget it, it’s useless to say more.” Ye Lingchen sighed and turned to leave.

Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing immediately followed and the three went out together.

“Master, I’m really sorry for what happened today,” Xu Nan said apologetically.

“It’s okay, it has nothing to do with you.” Ye Lingchen waved his hands indifferently.

“Ye Lingchen, my cousin has a soft heart despite her sharp tongue. Her life revolves around work and the attitude toward everyone has always been the same. Don’t worry about it,” Xu Wanqing explained.

Ye Lingchen shrugged, and asked, “She’s never been in a relationship, right?”

“Master, how did you know?” Xu Nan laughed out loud. “My cousin is thirty-three-years-old but she never even had a boyfriend before. All the men who saw her felt afraid. Who would be brave enough to be in a relationship with her? That’s why I call her Abbess Miejue.

“I remember a blind date she had with a man. The first thing she did was show her salary slip. She then told the man, ‘if you’re not as good as me, what right do you have to be my husband?’ The guy skedaddled out of there.

“Another time, she went on a blind date with a doctor and spent the whole afternoon talking about professional knowledge, leaving the doctor dumbfounded. Finally, she left him a sentence, ‘if you’re only at this level, you’re truly a disappointment’, then left immediately.”

Xu Nan imitated Ouyang Qing’s expression at that time and was as proud as a peacock.

“Based on what you say, the average person is too far behind her already. Aren’t you just subjecting yourself to suffering if you marry her?”
