The Thor Mech project still requires further consideration. For this meeting, it is rejected for now. Once you have fully thought through your design proposal, submit it for review again."

Zhang Jiarui had kept his head lowered as he sat in his seat. Just as Qi Jian reached the door, he suddenly shouted, "I'll prove it to you!!"

"But proving the value of the product I developed is also my responsibility! I have to go on this trip!" Zhang Jiarui
