"No," Chang Qingze said, shaking his head.
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’If that’s not the reason, couldn’t he have just told Group Leader Chang directly since I wasn’t available?’
She decided not to dwell on it.
’After all, if it was truly important, he’d definitely come back.’
"Oh, right! I had an idea about adding another once-through combustion chamber..."
As soon as Fu Mingxue said this, Chang Qingze’s eyes lit up.
"Tell me more!"
"Alright, everyone, if you have a moment, gather ’round and listen."
The inspiration had struck her suddenly last night while she was fixing that engine.
’Sometimes, a flash of inspiration really is just what you need.’
At Fu Mingxue’s call, the others immediately dropped what they were doing and gathered around her.
There was a large table nearby covered in blueprints.
Next to it was a large blackboard with white paper tacked onto it.
This was for everyone’s convenience, so they could jot down ideas as they came up.
...
When Li Zhao arrived, he saw everyone from Group Six gathered around Fu Mingxue.
Fu Mingxue was busy sketching on a piece of paper. As for her voice—well, he couldn’t hear a thing through the soundproof glass.
Li Zhao watched from the outside.
After all, it was their core laboratory. Unauthorized personnel were not allowed inside.
He could only watch from the outside, through the glass.
Neither Fu Mingxue nor anyone in Group Six noticed him outside.
They were completely engrossed. Someone had already started calculating the proposal’s feasibility.
Xu Ming’s role was to run the numbers for them—
Li Zhao waited for a while, but seeing no signs of them finishing up, he turned and left, deciding to come back later.
Meanwhile, after Fu Mingxue presented her concept, Group Six launched into a fierce discussion.
「Four hours later.」
Following the group’s analysis, Fu Mingxue revised the blueprint.
She glanced at the clock and saw it was already five in the afternoon.
Only then did she remember her sister-in-law.
’She wondered if Qin Wenying was still waiting to go home with her, or if she’d already left.’
