Chapter 36 Protective Shield

The location is actually a bit remote, but if you look closely, you can see that there are various research bases nearby, and occasionally there are a few villas. I wonder if they are where the researchers live.

Chi Yuan immediately asked on the phone: "Is it a new research base? I remember you have a dedicated research institute at school, right?"

Of course, she hadn't even been to the school's research institute many times.

"How can they be the same? The school's research institute is a public resource. I can't use it for personal purposes. But this base was recently completed. It's completely my personal research institute. Come quickly! Qingcheng is already here."

Chi Yuan opened the map again, but did not find the name of the institute on the map. It was estimated that it had not been synchronized yet.

"Give me half an hour."

The institute is not far from Crabtree Road, and it takes no more than twenty minutes to drive there.

If all future research is carried out at the new base, it will be convenient for her.

After simply packing up, Chi Yuan went out. She even only put on simple foundation.

There is no need to dress too much when doing a research project.

Entering the research base, Chi Yuan couldn't help but look around.

There are many semiconductors, wires, cables and other consumables that can be seen within the base.

There is a cabin behind the office building, which is mostly used to store large hardware systems.

Chi Yuan walked into the office building and, following He Yuanshan's instructions, came to the conference room on the third floor. He and Bai Qingcheng were already waiting there.

"Finally, you're here." He Yuanshan shook the document in his hand and said, "Let's get started quickly. We've already discussed it. Let Qingcheng talk to Mr. Bai."

Chi Yuan took the document without saying a word and began to look through it. She was devoted to her work, completely different from the way she had been when she swallowed her anger in front of Qi Wang.

The project had been away from her for too long, and she needed to quickly reorganize it in her mind.

In recent years, He Yuanshan has come up with new ideas in project management. He immediately started a heated discussion with Chi Yuan, which directly shocked Bai Qingcheng, the "investor".

"Are you two really good friends? You're not mortal enemies?" Bai Qingcheng genuinely doubted their relationship. "I've known Yuanyuan for so long, and I've never seen her argue so fiercely with anyone."

Today she saw a new side of Chi Yuan, a side that she rarely saw as a good friend, a side that was decisive and efficient.

"Qingcheng, this is just a normal clash of opinions." Chi Yuan quickly noted down the key points from the discussion. "Expressing your own opinions in a reasonable manner will help us better gather ideas."

Bai Qingcheng nodded. Of course she understood what Chi Yuan meant, but the argument between the two of them just now was a little too intense.

"Don't worry. I didn't argue with her when Yuanyuan quit the project without a word. It's even more impossible to argue now."

He Yuanshan closed the file and looked at Chi Yuan: "Have you made your notes?"

"I have no problem. I can print a new plan."

In front of these two professionals, Bai Qingcheng was a complete layman.

She couldn't understand the professional knowledge, but the way they collaborated was an eye-opener for her.

In short, she didn't know how the two negotiated. Two hours later, a final draft of the plan was handed to her.

"This document can be shown to uncle."

The plan wasn't too thick, so Bai Qingcheng glanced through it briefly and simply closed it. "I can't understand it anyway, so I'll show it to my dad right now."

After working for most of the night, it was almost time to get off work, so Bai Qingcheng left quickly.

She has to submit the plan for review before leaving get off work.

He Yuanshan laughed and shook his head: "This girl looks as naive as before. How can she trust our project so much?"

"So we can't let her down." Chi Yuan suddenly felt a surge of pressure. "Actually, you can get a lot of investment on your own, but with me included, it might not be the same. The Chi family is still on the verge of bankruptcy. Even if we find other investors for this project, they may not be willing to invest."

Who made her the daughter of the Chi family?

For a company on the verge of bankruptcy, most people will choose to wait and see. Even if it possesses important technologies, they may not be willing to take risks.

"It's a shame. You're the key to the project. If I'm alone, the project won't make any progress." He Yuanshan said nonchalantly, "I think the Bai family is a good fit. Mr. Bai is also a man who values ​​talent. If you hadn't interrupted your career back then, Mr. Bai might not have stood idly by and watched the Chi family's crisis now."

Chi Yuan didn't know how to respond.

So why didn't she continue her research? Was it just because she was heartbroken after being abandoned by Qi Ye?

How can a man be more important than his own career?

As long as she wanted, she didn't have to marry Qi Wang, and her parents wouldn't force her.

But she still agreed and compromised. Why?

Sometimes people can't even empathize with their past selves.

“There are no ifs. I just need to take every step I take now.”

Chi Yuan spoke with such determination that He Yuanshan's eyes lit up.

"This is the Chi Yuan I know."

That night, He Yuanshan invited her to have dinner at his villa, but Chi Yuan refused after a slight hesitation.

It’s dinner time now, so I should be able to meet Qi Wang when I go home.

She didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Just like last night, saying some incomprehensible words.

Just thinking about Chi Yuan made his waist ache.

"Huh? So strict? Does that mean you have to stop interacting with the opposite sex after marriage? We haven't seen each other for so long, and we just had a simple meal."

Having said that, He Yuanshan did not try to persuade him any further, and the two of them walked out of the base together.

"Then I'll take you home. This place is quite remote, and it's not safe for a woman like you."

Chi Yuan was concentrating on listening to him speak and didn't pay attention to the situation on the side of the road.

"Why is this unsafe? It's not even dark yet, I'll be fine if I take a taxi."

As she spoke, she ran straight towards the taxi waiting for passengers on the roadside.

It seems a bit strange. There are so few people around here. Why would there be a taxi waiting for passengers here?

Chi Yuan didn’t think too much about it. After all, it was a regular taxi, what could go wrong?

But before she could get on the car, she was suddenly pulled backwards and fell into a strong embrace.

The man’s breath... Chi Yuan was too familiar with it. After a brief shock, he was puzzled.

Why did Qi Wang follow me again? Could it be that he was staring at me all day long?

"I'll take you back."

The deep voice clearly showed displeasure.

Chi Yuan was not going to go against him at this moment, he was just curious about why he appeared here.

Until she suddenly felt a burst of white light, like an illusion.

Was she overthinking it, or was there really someone nearby filming her?

In short, Chi Yuan didn't dare to struggle anymore.

But she was dragged away without a word, and He Yuanshan couldn't help but worry. After a brief thought, he chased after her.

"Mr. Qi, marriage is not a shield against domestic violence. If you take Yuanyuan away, at least ask her first."
