"Qiqi, have some tea first and take a rest." He handed the teacup to Shen Qiqi's hand, his tone so gentle that it could squeeze out water.

Shen Qiqi took the teacup, and a warm current spread from her fingertips throughout her body, dispelling some of her fatigue.

She looked up at Lu Qing, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Lu Qing."

Lu Qing smiled, walked behind her and gently put his arm around her shoulders.

His warm breath brushed Shen Qiqi's neck, making her feel itchy and numb. An ambiguous atmosphere spread between them.

Shen Qiqi leaned in his arms, a feeling of happiness overflowing in her heart, and the previous irritability and anxiety disappeared.

"You're just working too hard. I'm afraid you'll tire yourself out." Lu Qing's voice was low and gentle, like a breeze, brushing across Shen Qiqi's heart.

"I'm doing this for our little family!" Shen Qiqi said with a smile. She turned to face Lu Qing, her eyes bright as stars.

Lu Qing looked at her.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Shen Qiqi returned to her work.

She did not follow Researcher Zhao's conventional thinking, but instead took a different approach and adopted a completely new method.

The people around her looked at her strange and bizarre operations and said they couldn't understand it. Expressions of surprise appeared on their faces one after another, as if they were watching a magic show.

"What is this Third Daughter-in-law Shen up to again?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we can't understand it."

"She doesn't want to dismantle this machine, does she?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Shen Qiqi made some progress. She figured out a brand new component that perfectly matched the structure of the machine.

At that moment, a feeling of surprise surged in Shen Qiqi's heart, as if a long drought had finally ended with a downpour.

"It seems that my idea is feasible!" Shen Qiqi shouted excitedly, her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.

Seeing her excitement, Lu Qing was sincerely happy for her.

He walked over to her and looked at the new part in her hand curiously, "Qiqi, what is this thing used for?"

Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously and assembled the new parts on the machine.

Her technique is skillful and her movements are smooth, like that of an experienced craftsman.

"Humph, I thought you were so powerful, but you're just messing around!" Outside the door, there was a discordant and sarcastic voice from Mrs. Lu, but Shen Qiqi was in a good mood at the moment and ignored her.

With a "click", the parts are installed in place.

Shen Qiqi took a step back, staring at the machine in front of her with burning eyes, an expectant smile on her face.

"Lu Qing, look at this..."

Shen Qiqi pressed the start button, and the machine began to operate with a slight humming sound.

The time to witness a miracle has come!

The indicator lights on the machine lit up one by one, and the data scrolled rapidly on the screen, finally stopping at a satisfactory value.

"It worked!" Shen Qiqi jumped up excitedly and hugged Lu Qing, "We succeeded!"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hugged her back tightly.

A huge joy surged like a tide, and he excitedly picked up Shen Qiqi and spun her around, his hearty laughter echoing in the R&D room.

"Qiqi, you are so amazing!" He looked down at Shen Qiqi in his arms, his eyes full of pride and love.

Shen Qiqi felt a little dizzy after being spun around by him, but the smile on her face became even brighter.

She was like a happy little bird, nestling in Lu Qing's arms, feeling his warmth and strength.

"This is all thanks to your continued support!"

Lu Qing gently put her down and stroked her hair tenderly.

"Silly boy, this is your own effort. I'm just staying with you."

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

The R&D room was filled with joy and a warm atmosphere, as if the air had become sweet.

Outside the door, Mrs. Lu passed by and heard the laughter coming from the R&D room. She curled her lips in disdain and said, "What are you laughing at? What's there to be proud of? You are so happy just because you solved this little problem. You really have never seen the world!" She said sourly and turned away.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing ignored the sarcasm of Lu Ersao. They were immersed in the joy of success and enjoyed this rare sweet time.

However, the good times did not last long, and new problems emerged before them.

"Although the technical difficulties have been solved, but..." Shen Qiqi looked at the budget sheet in her hand, frowning, "We are still short of some funds. If we can't raise this money as soon as possible, our project will not be able to continue."

Lu Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem. He walked to Shen Qiqi and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't worry, we will find a way."

Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Lu Qing's determined eyes, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

"Well, let's figure it out together!"

"Knock knock knock--" A knock on the door broke the silence between the two.

"Who is it?" Lu Qing walked over and opened the door, and saw someone standing outside...
