I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 285 Departure by Car Experiment

Little Chu Fu’s hundred-days celebration attracted many guests, and Chu’s Mansion was bustling with activity.

After having lunch, Little An’an became sleepy. Yuan Xi carried Little An’an into her room, and everything so pink made Little Lele very happy.

Yuan Xi watched Little Lele in the pink room picking up a doll, feeling somewhat sentimental. This was her third Dragon Boat Festival spent at the Chu Family.

If she had grown up in the Chu Family, she might not have met Huo Shiyuan, or if she did, it would only have been at that banquet.

She certainly wouldn’t have made friends like Chen Yuanliang, Sui Sui, and Shi Lei, who have been close for nearly thirty years.

Perhaps it’s also fate that was not too unkind to her; before her adoptive parents passed away, they had given her enough love so she did not harbor any resentment or deep-seated hatred. As for getting along with the Chu family, she could only slowly make up for it during meal gatherings again and again.

Little Lele played with dolls for a while and then fell asleep beside the bed.

Since having children, Yuan Xi’s mild obsessive-compulsive disorder has been much cured. Picking up Little Lele, who had fallen asleep beside the bed, she wasn’t bothered by the dirt and carried her onto the bed.

Huo Shiyuan whispered at the door, "Are they all asleep?"

Yuan Xi nodded lightly, "Yes, they are all asleep. I am going to the Qicheng automobile factory. If you’re not busy, stay and look after them."

Huo Shiyuan said, "Sister Chen will take care of them, I’ll come to the factory with you."

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, "Okay."

The stock price of Mi Chen has reached new highs recently. Yuan Xi could be said to have her value increased once again. After the release of the single-player game Star Transformation, adapted from Mi Yi’s Destroying Stars, it received unanimous praise from many veteran hardcore gamers. Even overseas the download numbers soared incredibly for a single-player game, which isn’t very common these days.

Mi Chen wasn’t stingy at all when it came to investing in Qicheng motors.

It’s been almost a year, the first model of Qicheng.Xiao has already begun to take shape, and it has undergone many experiments. It’s just waiting for further refinement before mass production. The most troublesome issue at the moment is the car’s operating system.

Currently, most of the new power car companies in China develop their car operating systems themselves or collaborate with several large internet companies.

As one of the largest game companies in China, Mi Chen wouldn’t need to ask others to develop a car operating system. However, games and vehicle operating systems are ultimately different. The vehicle operating systems still fall short when it comes to autonomous driving.

Today, Yuan Xi was going to meet a professor from Jiang University, a team of professors that Gu Hanchen had hired with a hefty sum.

After Yuan Xi arrived at the factory and got off the car, she met Professor Wu and quickly went to shake hands with him, saying, "Hello, professor."

Professor Wu returned the handshake, "Hello, Chairman Yuan."

Yuan Xi said, "Please, just call me Xiao Xi. I am a graduate of Jiang University."

"It’s Jiang University’s fortune to have such an outstanding student like Student Yuan," he replied.

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, "Mr. Gu is also a student from Jiang University. This time, we hope that the professor can give Qicheng a lot of guidance."

Professor Wu said, "It’s really a coincidence. My student team is currently researching a project about vehicle operating systems. The project is nearly complete; only a live demonstration is missing."

Yuan Xi replied, "That really is a coincidence. Qicheng can serve as the demonstration vehicle. Both Mr. Gu and I warmly welcome students from Jiang City to join Qicheng."

Professor Wu made a phone call, asking his students to hurry over.

The students were all from Jiang University. Although it was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, most were still around Jiang City, so it wasn’t far.

Among the students who came, Yuan Xi saw a familiar face. "Xiao Hao."

"Big sister."

Professor Wu looked at Yuan Xi and Liang Hao, "Student Yuan, do you know Liang Hao?"

Yuan Xi responded, "He’s my cousin."

Professor Wu smiled and said, "Although Liang Hao is just a sophomore, he has also participated in the development of the project. He’s a very talented student, and it turns out he’s Student Yuan’s cousin."

Yuan Xi gave a soft smile; having Liang Hao as part of the project team was a big help to Qicheng.

Liang Hao said to Yuan Xi, "Big sister, Fu Qin is now in her late pregnancy, and her due date has been delayed several days. She’s in the hospital, and I’m a bit worried about her. Can I go to the hospital first..."

"You go first." Yuan Xi smiled at Liang Hao, "Accompanying Fu Qin is more important."

"Mmm."

After touring the factory for an afternoon, Yuan Xi also had a car experience. Since marrying Huo Shiyuan, she seldom drove herself and would mostly have a driver.

When she got on the vehicle Start.Xiao, she was initially unresponsive to the fast acceleration. Inside the factory, on the experimental road, driving over pits was incredibly smooth.

When Gu Hanchen arrived, he knocked on the car window and said, "Do you want to try driving in the river?"

"No, I still value my life," Yuan Xi said. "I might have tried if it weren’t for Lele and Anan."

"Coward."

Yuan Xi didn’t argue when called a coward. Indeed, she had become much more cautious since having Lele and Anan.

Huo Shiyuan in the co-pilot seat looked at Gu Hanchen, "You drive, I’ll experience it with you."

Yuan Xi frowned at Huo Shiyuan, "Let Gu Hanchen experience it alone."

Huo Shiyuan, addressing Yuan Xi’s worry, lightly chuckled: "I can swim, no need to worry."

After Yuan Xi got into the car, Gu Hanchen entered the driver’s seat and adjusted the position, saying, "President Huo, you trust me this much?"

Huo Shiyuan replied, "Go ahead."

Yuan Xi sat in the back seat, and when the car reached the riverbank, she got out.

The car was covered in adhesive tape, hence it was hard to see its actual shape. But a car dropping into the river at the riverside immediately attracted the attention of many bystanders.

"The car fell down there!"

"What kind of car is this, why is it fully covered in mosaics?"

On the bridge across the river, many bystanders and cyclists came to the edge of the bridge to watch.

"Is this car driving in the water?"

"It seems so, it’s actually driving in the water!"

"Such an awesome car, can it make it to the other side?"

"Whose car is this?"

"On typhoon days, having this car means no worries about it being scrapped in the garage, right?"

"It seems like Gu Hanchen is sitting inside..."

"It’s Gu Hanchen! Could this be the car that Mi Chen bragged about building last year?"

With sweaty palms, Yuan Xi on the riverside hurriedly hailed a taxi, getting it to take her to the opposite bank.

By the time the taxi arrived at the opposite bank, Gu Hanchen’s car had already reached the shore, climbing up from the river slope. When Yuan Xi arrived, police and fire trucks were also present, probably called by concerned citizens.

Gu Hanchen was incessantly apologizing to the police and firemen. After signing paperwork, the police said to him, "Next time conduct an experiment you must obtain prior approval, this incident caused a public gathering and continuous emergency calls."

"OKOK, I will definitely seek approval and notify in advance next time. Sorry for the trouble caused, my fault." Gu Hanchen continuously nodded, acting obediently in front of the police like a child.

After getting out of the taxi, Yuan Xi ran to Huo Shiyuan and threw herself into his arms.

Huo Shiyuan held Yuan Xi tightly, "I’m fine."

Yuan Xi said, "Next time, let Gu Hanchen do these dangerous experiments. You mustn’t try such dangerous things again."

Huo Shiyuan chuckled lightly and responded, "Mmm, okay."
