I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 324 Wanrong Automobile Group HQ I

“Xu Nan, can you be quiet!”

Xu Wanqing said anxiously. It was the first time Ye Lingchen saw her lose control and become utterly discomfited.

“Fine, I’ll keep quiet then, but you didn’t see my master’s power last night. He knocked down several trees directly with just one punch.” Xu Nan was incredibly excited when she thought of what happened the day before. “It’s true! He’s too invincible!”

“Tch, you weren’t even there on the day I was kidnapped. Not even a bullet could hurt Superman Y.” Xu Wanqing said without thinking.

“Hehe, Sis, siding with Superman Y so quickly?” Xu Nan glanced wryly at Xu Wanqing before saying, “Don’t worry, we’re also keeping tabs on Superman Y’s identity. If there’s any news, the first thing I’ll do is tell you. Who knows, he might even be an extremely handsome guy!”

Xu Wanqing kept quiet on that occasion but there was plenty of emotion in her eyes.

Ye Lingchen listened to the two sisters’ conversation from one side. God knows what would happen if they found out that they were talking about the same person.

“Oh, Teacher Xu, why would someone kidnap you?” Ye Lingchen asked.

By then, the dishes had all quickly slid down the slide. It was a picturesque scene and everyone was talking while eating.

It turned out that Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing were the daughters of Wanrong Automobile Group’s CEO. Wanrong Automobile Group was a well-known domestic automobile tycoon with a market value of hundreds of billions. They were influential too, even in the international scene. During the past two years, Wanrong Automobile Group became even more renowned, with its major breakthroughs in science and technology. It was said that they had overcome the problems of driverless technology and would soon launch driverless cars.

The news was undoubtedly a big. It caused a storm in the entire industry, and for a time, Wanrong Automobile Group received much attention and was at the cusp of the storm.

It was an age of science and technology, so a technological breakthrough meant that one would be able to pave a new era. Taking the first tiny step could spur unprecedented glory in the future!

In addition to envy from many individuals, terror was also struck in many of their peers. With that kind of technology, many people wanted to claim it as their own, which was why Xu Wanqing was abducted.

“This group of people are really crazy!” Xu Nan felt a chill in her hear after thinking of the stuff that was found in their base the day before. It was all too frightening and she had no idea know how those people could do such a wretched thing.

“They are all martial artists, with animalistic tendencies deep within. Coupled with their strength, they are all extremely dangerous. It’s best not to be involved with this kind of thing. Just leave it to the Warrior’s Department,” Ye Lingchen suggested to Xu Nan.

Xu Nan nodded palpitatingly.

“But I never expected that the two of you were the princesses of Wanrong Automobile Group. Fair, wealthy, and beautiful, just like the legends say. My respect, my respect,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.

“Teehee, Master, it’s still not too late for you to find out now. My sister may have a sweetheart, but you still have a chance if you were to go after me,” Xu Nan tempted him.

Ye Lingchen directly flicked Xu Nan’s head. “If you were half as quiet as your sister, I might still consider it.”

After the meal, Ye Lingchen took up Xu Nan’s suggestion and followed them to Wanrong Automobile Group HQ.

With two beautiful ladies leading the way, nothing held them up during their journey.

The headquarters for such a company needed little introduction. It was unparalleled in its stylishness and magnificence. Along the way, the sounds of clicking and clacking were heard—it was the sound of high heels stepping on the ground with a quickened rhythm.

A group of white-collar workers dressed in suits came and went with folders in their hands. They all seemed like very capable individuals.

The division of tasks within the entire company was very clear. Each floor was a department, and each person was assigned their duties. It was very organized.

Xu Nan hesitated before finally pressing the button for the 20th floor.

Then, she reminded Ye Lingchen, “Master, Abbess Miejue[1] is here on this level. You have to be careful when you speak. It’ll be even better if you ignore her!”

“Xu Nan, don’t say that about your cousin!” Xu Wanqing could not help but frown.

“HMPH! I don’t want an Abbess Miejue like her to be my cousin!” Xu Nan grunted.

Dingdong, the elevator stopped. The three of them then walked out of the elevator.

“Hello, miss.”

It was obvious that many people on that level knew Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing. They stood straight after seeing the two women and bowed when saying hello.

As he walked in, Ye Lingchen discovered that there were mainly theoretical research and design on that floor. Materials were everywhere and some offices were filled with books.

Ye Lingchen had a look of intrigue on his face. He walked into an office and began reading.

“Self-study ‘Intelligent Assistant System’, Science and Technology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study ‘Intelligent Assistant System’, Science and Technology proficiency +1.”

…

“Self-study ‘Machine Revolution’, Science and Technology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study ‘Machine Revolution’, Science and Technology proficiency +1.”

…

Originally still at 55%, his proficiency in Science and Technology was unexpectedly raised to 70% with the help of those books.

“Master, do you understand these? Do you understand it?” Xu Nan exclaimed when she saw Ye Lingchen’s serious look. “These books were brought back by Abbess Miejue when she was studying abroad. Most of them are English and it’s hard to understand unless your English is at Level 8!”

Xu Wanqing also looked at Ye Lingchen with confusion. Those books were not sold abroad, and one needed to achieve certain milestones before being eligible to get them. Most importantly, even she would get a headache when she looked at that thick stack of English.

The professional terminology used there was outrageous, and it was all in English, making it even more terrifying!

“Just out of curiosity.” Ye Lingchen smiled and put the book down.

“Luckily, Abbess Miejue doesn’t seem to be around. I didn’t see her anywhere,” Xu Nan rejoiced softly to herself, then looked at Ye Lingchen, “Master, my sister said that you’re very good at math, but the real freak is Abbess Miejue. She brought all these things back when they were studying abroad. Last time, there was even one overseas company that offered her a million dollars a year just to hire her.”

At that moment, a man in a suit came hurriedly with a stack of materials in his hand. “Miss Xu, can you help me hand these materials over to CEO Ouyang? I still have one topic to continue.”

“Sure.” Xu Wan nodded crisply.

“Sis, check and see what it is.” Xu Nan asked curiously, then opened the information without saying anything more.

The information was not too thick, roughly about ten pages or so. It was a model for a car and was accompanied by plenty of explanation texts and some close-ups of the parts.

Ye Lingchen’s perused it swiftly and already had a rough idea in mind. It was probably some theoretical plans regarding driverless technology, as well as the means to achieve it.

“BO-RING!” Xu Nan glanced through it and turned her head away in boredom. Xu Wanqing found it confusing too, and although her talent in math was great, that was only the extent of her abilities—the material at hand deviated too far away from math.

Ye Lingchen frowned slightly. “Xu Nan, let me have a look at this.”
