Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 599
Chapter 599: All the Beautiful Times in the World
Zheng Zhi’s words silenced the entire laboratory.
Everyone fell silent.
Not to mention Zheng Zhi, even Yu Da, Li Xuekai, and the three directors knew that this project was too difficult.
China was many years behind in this technology, and it was not something that could be caught up with within a short period of time. Moreover, the other countries monopolized this technology, and they did not even share any relevant information. That made it even more difficult for them.
Had China not chased after this technology all these years?
Of course they did.
But could they catch up?
They were still five years away from doing that.
Moreover, foreign light source machines were made by several high-tech countries. What did it mean to have a few countries cooperating?
The cooperation between Huaxia University and Huazhong University was simply incomparable.
Hence, no one had any expectations for this project.
The success rate was too low.
Currently, those foreign countries could only achieve six nanometers. How could they do it even lower?
Xue Xi also understood that things were very difficult.
She looked at everyone in front of her and said, “If I don’t try, how will I know that I’ll fail?”
Her casual words made the others’ blood heat up.
That’s right. If we don’t try, how will we know that we are definitely inferior to others?!
Yu Da recalled what Xue Xi had said the other day and said, “Yes. At the very least, we can do 14 nanometers in our country. If we can do 12, it will be a form of success! Moreover, even if we fail, scientific research itself is meaningful and can provide more experience for future generations!”
Li Xuekai also nodded. “If everyone continues to think that they will fail and therefore not even try to do it, we will forever be behind.”
“Yes!”
“Let’s do it!”
“Just two words. Do it!”
“…”
The group was filled with fighting spirit. Zheng Zhi, who was watching by the side, suddenly could not speak.
There were many cutting and sarcastic words one couple have said. Logically speaking, she should not have invested so much in the early stages.
However, looking at their young faces and their fearless courage, one could feel their blood boiling.
Something seemed to be thriving in his old-fashioned and mean blood. It seemed that he was going to go crazy because of this group of young people.
Zheng Zhi suppressed his excitement and shut his mouth.
On the other side, Yu Da had also received a WeChat message from Director Liu: “Sister Xi is shy. I’m sorry to say this, but if you don’t have money, tell me. I’ll help you draw money.”
Li Xuekai also received Feng Xingshen’s WeChat message: “I’m sorry to ask, but if Sister Xi is in need of money, please take note. If you’ve run out of money, tell me.”
At the same time, the chemistry professor sent this to Xue Xi: “Sister Xi, if you don’t have money, just say it. Don’t be shy.”
The rest: “…”
…
…
The project was finalized, but the equipment that had been purchased still needed time to be transported.
He Gao was very reliable. He led a group of students from the Sports Department and set up the laboratory.
Zheng Zhi, on the other hand, set the rules. For a project with 200 people, there had to be some rules. Otherwise, if everyone were to slack off, the project would definitely be even more difficult to carry on.
The rest of the scientific and technical staff were reading on their own territories and looking up information.
Instantly, Huaxia University and Huazhong University’s libraries were filled to the brim. Everyone’s studious air was very intense!
However, the perpetrator, Sister Xi, was currently on a date.
There was no choice.
Xiang Huai had come to the school to look for her again.
Xue Xi held her book and walked with him on the road. He would snatch her book and force her not to read it. “Little kid, you should rest. Otherwise, your eyes won’t be able to take it.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Looking at Xiang Huai’s serious expression, Xue Xi knew that no matter what she said, this person would not listen. Hence, she really rested.
Xiang Huai looked at her helpless expression and sighed silently.
Actually, when he came to look for the little kid yesterday, he realized that she was a little unwell. Hence, he asked Xie Yingying and was told that the little kid had been reading for the past three days. She stayed up until midnight and woke up at five in the morning.
It was very similar to the college entrance examination back then.
Moreover, the food was not delicious.
Xie Yingying brought her food back to the dormitory. This person did not have the time to eat. She simply took two bites of the bun and sesame seed cake and continued reading when she was no longer hungry.
There was no other way.
Xie Yingying was afraid that Sister Xi would fall ill, so she sent a message to Xiang Huai: “Sister Xi might not say it, but she’s probably still anxious and wants to do this project well. However, this kind of research and development can’t be completed in a short period of time. You can’t possibly work for half a year without eating or sleeping, right? Wouldn’t your body collapse?”
Hence, Xiang Huai became a love-struck fool again. He acted coquettishly and threatened Xue Xi.
Xue Xi stretched and looked up at the sky. “Are we going to eat?”
She stopped reading and finally felt hungry.
Xiang Huai’s lips twitched helplessly. “Yes, but we’re not going to the canteen.”
Xue Xi: “Then where should we go?”
“Follow me.”
Xiang Huai held Xue Xi’s hand and the two of them left the school and got into the car. Xiang Huai then brought her to a private restaurant.
On the way, the sleepy Xue Xi did not have any materials to look at, so she tilted her head and fell asleep on the seat.
When they reached the restaurant, the car stopped. Xiang Huai did not call her and turned to look at the girl.
The girl tilted her head and closed her eyes. She had long eyelashes, a sharp nose, and red lips. Without that lost expression, the girl appeared exceptionally quiet and obedient.
Her red hair was even more beautiful.
The lights in the parking lot shone on her through the car window, giving her a faint glow.
In his eyes, she was the best in the world.
On the other hand, he had overcome all obstacles and difficulties just to protect this beauty.
At this thought, Xiang Huai lowered his eyes.
If possible, he really wanted to treat her as a flower and raise her under the sun.
However, she was not a flower.
She was an eagle, and sooner or later, she would fly to a wider sky.
Hence, nurturing her and finding more assistants and friends for her was the best protection for her.
…
Xue Xi slept for an hour and a half before she woke up from hunger.
When she opened her eyes in a daze, she realized that she was still in the car. The person beside her had a gentle and deep gaze that made her feel vast and comfortable.
She rubbed her stomach. “I’m hungry.”
Xiang Huai chuckled. “Let’s go. The food is ready.”
The private restaurant that the two of them went to only provided three tables of food every day. They had to reserve them in advance.
However, when Xiang Huai arrived, a room was immediately vacated in the private restaurant.
When Xue Xi entered, she realized that the food was still piping hot.
Her eyes lit up. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
As Xiang Huai picked up some food for her, he asked casually, “Have you finished knitting the scarf?”
