Chapter 326 - Who Is He to Educate Me?

Chapter 326 Who Is He to Educate Me?

Ye Lingchen remained silent. As he approached the door, he suddenly said, “Xu Nan, go get a pen and a piece of paper.”

“Oh.”

Xu Nan was confused, but she hastily got a pen and a piece of paper.

On the paper, Ye Lingchen casually wrote down all the problems he saw earlier. He even drew out some of the finer details for special annotations.

“Master, what are you writing?” Xu Nan looked curiously at Ye Lingchen.

Xu Wanqing’s brows were knitted into a frown as well. She felt that the content Ye Lingchen wrote was similar to the materials he viewed earlier.

“Done!”

Ye Lingchen stopped writing, smiled, and explained, “Here are some of the flaws of that autonomous vehicle. The turning system and obstacle recognition will act up. Furthermore, there are no limiters on the acceleration and deceleration. That’ll also cause problems.”

With that, he passed it back to Xu Nan. Seeing that it was rather late, he prepared to head home.

“Master, let me send you back,” Xu Nan offered.

“No need!” Ye Lingchen took his leave with a simple wave.

Right after he left, Ouyang Qing arrived in hasty steps, her expression as ugly as before.

“You guys, come over here!” She waved at the security guards. With a haughty voice, she pointed at Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing, and said, “From now on, even those brought over by both of them need to go through the examination. If they’re not an employee of our company, they’re not allowed to enter. Understand?”

“Abbess Miejue, what’s the meaning of this?!” Xu Nan objected and gave Ouyang Qing an unfriendly glare.

“I’m doing this for your own good! From now on, stay away from those unimportant people!” Ouyang Qing gave them a cold look. “If you continue to act so brazenly, this company will eventually go under!”

“It’s going to go under because of your behavior! My master wrote these down for me earlier. Our autonomous vehicle has many flaws!”

Xu Nan waved that piece of paper in front of Ouyang Qing as she spoke.

However, Ouyang Qing’s expression changed drastically. She grabbed that piece of paper and started tearing it to shreds without even reading, lecturing them sternly, “How can you show these secrets in public?! You’re really ignorant of the severity of the situation! If that person leaked this info outside, I will see to it that he pays!”

“Ouyang Qing! What are you doing? Those are the flaws my master pointed out!” Xu Nan’s face turned pale in an instant as she screamed.

“I’ve studied in England, Deutschland, Francia, and Murica[1]; Research focused on equipment manufacturing, intelligence systems, high-end cars, and other related fields. My team was picked from the elite of the elites. Who is he that we would need him to point out our errors? He should know his limits!” Ouyang Qing sneered as she passed the shredded paper to the secretary. “Burn them. Don’t let anything escape!”

“Cousin, you’re going overboard. Ye Lingchen knows what he’s doing. If some problems were to arise, who’s going to be responsible for it?” Xu Wanqing could not help but speak up. “Furthermore, Ye Lingchen placed first in the National Mathematics Competition.”

“Hehe, those competitions are child’s play. I can’t even be bothered to look at it! It’s just mathematics, nothing to be proud of. Xu Wanqing, you might be a genius in the university, but you’re still far off from managing the company. Your technical skills are like a greenhorn. You’re so far behind, what do you know?” Ouyang Qing stated quietly, but with extreme confidence. “If anything were to happen, I’ll take full responsibility!”

With that, she hastily took her leave in her high heels, making a series of thudding sounds as she went.

“Damn it!”

Xu Nan stomped her foot angrily. “Sis, Abbess Miejue is just too horrible! I want to complain to Dad and have her fired!”

“There there, don’t be angry. That’s how she is, straightforward and honest. Furthermore, I truly don’t have the ability to manage the company.” Xu Wanqing felt a little dejected. Her achievements may seem outstanding in the eyes of most people, but she was only a mathematics professor at Huaqing University. She had nothing to be proud of as she was thousands of miles away from her cousin’s level.

At first, she too, had wanted to study science and engineering to help her father manage the company. However, she realized that it was too difficult. Very few managed to be a genius.

Xu Nan gritted her teeth, then nodded helplessly. She would never bring such an issue to her father. Although her cousin was mean, she was also a genius. It would be a joke for the company to fire such a talent.

Ye Lingchen was oblivious to the incident that happened after he left. By then, he was already back at Hill Spring Residences. The drama in the comment section of Celestial Bane was a mess of whines and criticism!

Ye Lingchen could only laugh bitterly. The plot needed it. Maybe the readers loved Bi Yao from the beginning, but it was because of Bi Yao’s death that made the character complete and made a greater impact in their hearts.

Beep beep beep!

QQ’s icon lit up. As expected, it was Yogurt looking for him.

[I am Y, you’ve really done it this time. You’re the first to cause such a scene with the death of a character!]

Ye Lingchen replied with a ‘tears of joy’ emoji. “I didn’t expect the readers to be so passionate.”

[Today someone came to Yuewen’s headquarters, asking for us to contact you. Apparently, he wants to have a debate with you,] Yogurt replied.

[Could it be a hater that wants revenge on me?] Ye Lingchen replied with bitter laughter.

[Hater? They’ve already decided to form a group to hunt you down. If you don’t bring Bi Yao back to life, they might keep this going.] Yogurt replied. He paused for a moment, and then added, [However, this incident has been suppressed by Yuewen. You just relax and write your novel. Don’t let the outside world affect you. We will protect our authors.]

[Mm, thank you,] replied Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen did not explain nor guarantee anything to the readers in the comments section. He merely continued doing things his own way.

Meanwhile, at Huyu Streaming headquarters…

Wang Yuan and Zhou Min were seated in the meeting room. Apart from them, Huyu Streaming’s higher-ups and investors were all present. Their expressions were serious and had a glint in their eyes; they were passionately discussing something.

“Huyu’s status is going down day by day. It’s near the end and it’s about time we make a decision!” Wang Yuan said with a sigh.

The streaming platform might seem to be doing well, but it was mostly a facade; like a bubble. Once the bubble pops, the result would be horrible. That was the reason so many streaming platforms went under.

The rise of Panda Streaming and the desertion of Y-God along with other hosts paved the way for Huyu Streaming’s downhill slide. Finally, they have reached the end of their line.

“CEO Wang, are you sure you want to do this?” Zhou Min took a deep breath. Her voice was filled with worry. “If we do this, that’s really a path of no return!”

“What other choice do we have? To continue doing things this way is just a way to die off slowly. If we do this, we can at least bring Panda Streaming down with us. One final struggle is better than doing nothing!” Wang Yuan’s eyes were filled with hatred.

His hatred toward Y ran deep, but he had never considered the fact that it was Y that saved Huyu Streaming in the beginning. It was them repaying his kindness with enmity that brought them to their current situation.
