Embarking on the Journey!

Returning to his office from the battery lab, Xu Yifan had just sat down and turned on his computer when Lu Jingping called.

Lu Jingping's steady voice came through the phone.

"Boss, we've thought it over carefully. Although eight million is very tempting, it's probably more money than we could earn in many years.

However, with our current capabilities, we truly can't overcome this hurdle."

Xu Yifan was a bit shocked. The system had confirmed the payment was effective, so how could this happen?

Was his system fake?

His thoughts were a mess, and Xu Yifan didn't reply immediately. Fake, everything was fake! System? Transmigration?

Then he heard Lu Jingping's voice again.

"So, we've come up with a solution: hiring external help.

I'm requesting to use five million of the eight million reward to find Xiamen University's lab to tackle this challenge.

However, I can't be certain if the professors, teachers, and senior students at the lab can crack this problem in a short time. I need to get your approval first.

If you agree, we'll immediately return to the school to find our Doctor supervisor, professors, and senior students, and rent a lab to overcome this critical bottleneck."

Lu Jingping's unhurried voice pulled Xu Yifan's thoughts back from his suspicion.

That cliffhanger almost made his Dao heart unstable!

So this is how the system's payment works? I thought after paying, everyone would have a burst of inspiration, their minds would clear up, and all difficulties would be solved in minutes.

After calming his inner emotions, Xu Yifan finally spoke.

"Yes, as long as the technical difficulties can be overcome quickly. Do you need any other help?"

Lu Jingping pondered for a moment and replied, "No, as long as you agree. In that case, we'll pack up our experimental data and materials and head back to school for support and to rent a lab shortly."

"Alright, how about this: I'll drive you to the airport; it'll be faster. Pack what you need to bring, and I'll park the car at your lab's entrance."

"Thank you, boss." Lu Jingping was slightly moved.

With such a boss, how could his career not succeed? A scholar would die for a true confidant!

He must work harder and complete the R&D project in his hands as soon as possible!

After a brief call with his boss, Lu Jingping turned to his colleagues waiting beside him and said.

"The boss has agreed. He'll drive to the lab entrance to take us to the airport.

Now, who else needs to go back to school? Four of us should be enough. Having too many won't be beneficial; the others will continue some R&D work here.

For those returning, I hope you have good relationships with your supervisors and senior colleagues."

"I'll go back. I'm quite familiar with Senior Sister Zhu, so I might be useful."

"Senior Sister Zhu? If she gets involved, there's a high chance the project's bottleneck can be resolved."

"Okay, it's decided then. It'll be Liu Mincai, Qiu Haowei, Jiang Han, and myself returning to school for assistance."

Two Doctors, two Master's students who had good relationships with their Doctor supervisors and senior colleagues.

After a brief packing session, they gathered their important experimental data and materials and walked out of the battery lab's doors.

They happened to see a striking, all-black Mercedes-Benz G parked at the entrance.

Since he was responsible for the ride, bringing a two-door, four-seater Porsche 911 would have been too cramped.

As a super rich second generation who had always loved cars, Xu Yifan naturally didn't just have one car at home.

His considerate father had gifted him a car he liked as a birthday present every year since Xu Yifan turned thirteen.

He had even gone so far as to build a track in the suburbs so that Xu Yifan, who didn't have a license yet, could drive!

This Mercedes-Benz G was a gift from his father four years ago. However, Xu Yifan was studying abroad and rarely drove it. When he returned, he usually drove his sports cars.

Now that he had opened his own factory, having a few luxury cars as a facade was quite necessary, so he had people bring a few cars over.

What kind of super rich second generation wouldn't have a garage full of luxury cars ready to drive at any time? That would be a joke!

He usually drove his Porsche 911 for his commute, and for business reception occasions, he could drive his Mercedes-Benz G, Audi A6L, Land Rover Range Rover, and so on.

It was a pity that these luxury brands were all joint ventures or imported cars; there wasn't a single domestic one.

At this point in time, even if he wanted to support domestic products, it was hard to find suitable options.

One day in the future, he would definitely drive a luxury car produced by his own factory!

The car door opened, and Xu Yifan got out to help the researchers load their items into the trunk.

He got into the driver's seat and headed towards the provincial capital's airport.

Inside the car, since they were all familiar with each other and were around the same age, conversation flowed easily, and there were no barriers.

The researchers chatted about R&D matters, discussing how complex this project's bottleneck was, how they had racked their brains, and how their daily discussion meetings had been ineffective.

They hoped that going back to school this time would allow them to find experts to solve the problem. No, they were sure there would be a way!

Xu Yifan, on the other hand, discussed the future of new energy vehicles with them, highlighting the bright prospects and the importance of the current R&D project.

He also strategically painted a rosy picture, assuring them that if they worked hard, such accelerated funding would not be uncommon in the future.

If there are any R&D personnel with good technical skills at the university who are willing to come over, the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory welcomes them wholeheartedly.

As long as you do good research, cars, money, and girls will all come in a few years.

Along the way, everyone chatted happily!

The Mercedes-Benz G drove at the speed limit, and it took nearly four hours to reach Shuangliu Airport in the provincial capital.

After buying the soonest flight with the researchers and watching everyone enter the departure hall, Xu Yifan returned to the parking lot to get his car.

He didn't head back to the factory immediately but turned towards the provincial capital, planning to find a hotel to rest and get a massage!

"Damn it, when I have money in the future, I'm definitely building an airport next to the factory and buying my own private jet!"

"Four hours on the highway, even a luxury car gets tiring."

"We should also get drivers. There will be more of this kind of picking up and dropping off in the future."

Rubbing his lower back, Xu Yifan sighed.

"Forget it, save some money. The frequency of use isn't high yet, and I can also build better relationships with the researchers..."

The plane took off, soaring into the sky.

Lu Jingping and the others embarked on their journey.

A few hours later, they returned to the city where they had studied before.

Even though it was almost evening, the group didn't delay and headed straight for Xiamen University.

Although it was getting late, there was still time to do some preparatory work.

They planned to invite the senior students they had worked with in the lab for a meal, and if possible, to also invite their professor.

First, they would smooth things over with personal connections, and then they could tackle the issue of renting lab space from the university.
