Chapter 45: Heartbeats of 45
How did you hear this?
He had no time to care about anything else at the moment. Coincidentally, the light at the intersection turned green. As Wen Huai started driving, the phone next to his ear was taken away.
Xu Youjing's voice was thick with nasal sounds: "She's driving. Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, yes." Dong Chen was surprised that Xu Youjing would answer the phone in person, and immediately explained, "Ming, the general secretary of Dongyang Group, called to arrange a meeting with you. It means he has something to explain to you."
"Just reject it." Xu Youjing paused, then suddenly asked, "Is Professor Tong still in the lab?"
Dong Chen: "This..."
Wen Huai said, "He's still here. I heard that he locked himself in the lab after the regular meeting and didn't come out the entire morning."
"Yeah." He said to Dong Chen as if it were an irrelevant matter, "Have President Sui and President Li come to my office at 3 pm."
"OK."
Putting the phone back into the bag, Xu Youjing frowned and said, "Dongyang is holding a new product launch conference today, right?"
"Yes, three o'clock in the afternoon."
I looked at my watch and saw there were still five hours left.
-
In the hospital's IV drip room, Xu Youjing was leaning on the sofa, already fast asleep.
Wen Huai touched his forehead and the temperature had dropped a little, but was still a little high.
Maybe because he was feeling uncomfortable, Xu Youjing frowned even when he was sleeping. He was also wearing a mask, and half of his face was redder than usual.
This was the first time Wen Huai saw Xu Youjing sleeping soundly. It seemed that he was more eye-catching when he was asleep than when he was Ling Rui in his usual state.
It wasn't as aggressive as it was at the meeting today.
In fact, she could understand Xu Youjing's approach and Tong Zhenyuan's difficulties.
Having been with Sui Censhan for so long, she naturally knew how much he wanted to break through the barriers of autonomous driving technology. Tong Zhenyuan was also a technology enthusiast, and when faced with a difficult problem, he would study it for days without eating.
It is reasonable for two people to become friends because they have common goals.
Because of this, she knew what kind of mood Tong Zhenyuan, who was always steady, was in when he came to the regular meeting today.
Even though he didn't bring any proof of proof, he still came.
As the company's CEO, Xu Youjing cannot just listen to one side of the story without strong evidence and allow the hard work of all employees to go to waste.
Although his words were a bit harsh, they were true.
He has to be responsible for others.
Both of them are right from their respective starting points.
Sighing, Wen Huai withdrew his gaze and continued to deal with the emails at hand.
During this period, Dong Chen sent a message asking her where she and Xu Youjing had been, and also said that Jiao Xiaolin had come, but left when she saw that she was not there.
Wen Huai ignored the last sentence, "Boss Xu and I are at the hospital. He has a fever."
Dong Chen: [No wonder I noticed Mr. Xu looked unwell this morning. How is he now? Is he serious?]
She had just typed a word when a pop-up window appeared on the screen showing the email name: Experimental data testing on L2 (assisted driving) and L3 (conditional autonomous driving).
It's actually faster than planned.
Wen Huai didn't care about Dong Chen. He opened the email and saw the detailed experimental data and results, even the advantages and disadvantages marked in red.
At the end of the email, there was a comment left by Jiang Quanyu: L3 only had a deviation of 0.01 in 3564 experiments. I suggest that it can be officially used in "Wings".
Wen Huai happily pressed the screenshot button and wanted to send it to Sui Censhan, but when she reached the sending page, she hesitated.
If it is officially used, it will mean that the product will face a lot of scrutiny and criticism after it is launched on the market, and it will also increase the probability of accidents and dangers.
In addition, it will inevitably delay the official release time and increase financial losses.
She relaxed her straightened waist a little and looked at the person next to her, wondering which one Xu Youjing would choose between technological breakthrough and conservative progress.
No longer interested in work, Wen Huai put away his phone and looked at the IV drip which still had half of its contents filled.
Estimating the time, it will take at least half an hour to finish dripping.
She stood up gently and slowed down the drip. Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of the eyes of the person under her and her whole body froze.
The next second, her knees that were supporting her on the sofa slipped and she fell on Xu Youjing's chest.
With a muffled groan, Wen Huai tried to stand up but was powerless.
"Don't get up." Xu Youjing held her waist, "It's good like this."
Wen Huai's face flushed, but she didn't dare put her hands on him until she was embarrassed. He stretched out the hand that was not connected to the IV drip and let her be supported by him.
Standing up straight, Wen Huai felt that the heat on his face had not yet subsided.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Even though the lower half of her face was hidden under the mask, Xu Youjing couldn't hide her smile.
Wen Huai coughed uncomfortably: "I want to adjust the speed of your drip."
"Um."
He had a hard time suppressing the corners of his mouth, but luckily he had a mask covering it.
After checking the time, he straightened his expression and said, "Sorry, I slept for so long. You must be hungry. I'll ask Jiang Han to bring some food."
"I'm not hungry." Wen Huai unlocked his phone and handed it over. "Take a look at this first."
The title at the beginning was clear and eye-catching. Xu Youjing calmed down and took the document to read it himself.
A few minutes later, he finished reading the content and understood what Tong Zhenyuan meant. "He still wants to integrate new technologies into 'Wings'."
Wen Huai knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't say anything and gave him time to think.
The man who had bowed his head in thought didn't hear the answer, so he looked up at her and asked, "What do you think?"
"Me?" She was surprised he would ask her.
"Well, if you were in this position, with a new technology on one side that has the potential to generate huge profits and a higher reputation, and a conservative approach that's a sure win, but not as profitable, but still profitable, on the other side, which one would you choose?"
Which one to choose...
He just asked which one to choose.
There is neither the premise of being ready for listing nor any competition from other peers.
"I'll choose the first one."
Xu Youjing raised his eyebrows: "Influenced by Mr. Sui?"
“Yes, but not entirely.”
"Tell me about it."
"I've investigated and found that the accident rate for fully autonomous vehicles has long been lower than that for human drivers. Many companies have also won lawsuits legally and in compliance with regulations, safeguarding their rights. This proves that fully autonomous driving technology is feasible and protected by law."
"L2 technology is now mature. No matter how much we optimize and reduce costs, the ceiling is there and cannot be broken. However, if we continue to dig holes and bury the soil within the limitations, the soil of that fertile land will sooner or later be exhausted."
"Compared to the low-cost L2, L3 certainly requires more financial and human resources, but while optimizing the technology, it also improves safety and is more easily accepted by the public, so the prospects are still very promising."
Xu Youjing listened without saying anything.
Wen Huai was a little unsure: "Am I wrong?"
"No, you're absolutely right," he said self-deprecatingly. "It makes me want to delay the launch of 'Wings'."
She smiled and said, "You won't."
Such a firm tone made Xu Youjing stunned for a long time before he remembered to respond.
"You trust me so much?"
"Um."
He wasn't sure. "Because I protected my employees' jobs during the regular meetings?"
Wen Huai shook his head, his voice a little low: "Because you were too harsh on Mr. Tong, it's not like you to change your tone now."
Was he teasing him? Was he standing up for Mr. Tong?
Xu Youjing smiled happily.
He looked at the girl in front of him.
Wen Huai had a dimple on his cheek, and his porcelain-white skin was flushed with pink. At this moment, his curved eyebrows were smart and gentle, and the look he gave him made his already dry throat feel even more itchy.
His fingertips curled up, and he wanted to raise his hand, but was afraid that she would feel awkward.
As he was hesitating, the vibration of Wen Huai's phone forced him to put his thoughts aside.
After turning off the alarm, Wen Huai glanced at the IV drip that was about to finish, and stood up. "I'll go call the nurse."
"good."
-
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the conference room was still closed.
Sui Jianwen and Li Qicheng had been in there for an hour, but the situation still didn't seem to be over.
Seeing this situation, Dong Chen and others guessed that President Xu would be unable to sit still.
"Dongyang's new product sold over a million units in five minutes. I think Mr. Xu is under pressure."
"Why are you so stressed? Our performance, batteries, and configuration are all better than Dongyang's. You're just worrying for nothing."
"That's right! It's gone instantly when it goes online!"
The three of them chatted in a random manner. Wen Huai did not participate in the topic and looked at the computer screen seriously.
He didn't notice when Dong Chen walked behind him.
"Sister Wen, do you want to change jobs?"
Wen Huai was stunned and turned around quickly, "When did you come here?"
He placed the coffee next to her hand and said, "I saw it just after I came here. Are you going to resign? Why?"
Wen Huai asked him to lower his voice, "It's just this plan, let's see first."
"Are you unhappy with your work? Or is a client giving you a hard time? Sister Wen, is something wrong?" Dong Chen really didn't expect Wen Huai to resign.
“Neither.”
No one will say how long she has been doing this job or whether she is tired of it.
But as long as she was working as a secretary, she could never stand openly with Xu Youjing.
So she wanted to quit her job.
But she hasn't decided what kind of job to change to.
"This job wasn't my original intention, but I was forced to accept it and I've been doing it ever since. Mr. Sui was the one who brought me in. I'll leave after the summit vote on energy development has concluded."
Dong Chen opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, and Wen Huai was amused by him.
"Keep it a secret for me first. You are the only one in the company who knows about it now."
"Not very happy, huh?" He pulled out a stool and sat down beside her. "Is it because your husband doesn't want you to go to work anymore?"
Wen Huai thought about it.
If Xu Youjing knew that she was going to resign, he would probably agree.
Before she could speak, Dong Chen asked again: "What about the last time you said that he had Bai Yueguang? Was it resolved? He didn't do anything to let you down, did he?"
Wen Huaili was not very confident: "I already said that he is my friend..."
"Don't lie to me, Sister Wen."
Dong Chen acted like he understood everything. He even stood up and raged indignantly on the central floor of the CEO's office, which was empty of the CEO. He slammed his hand on her desk and said, "I understand this kind of situation where a couple gets fed up with each other and can't resist the temptation to cheat. I know it best!"
"But Sister Wen, don't worry. If that man really cheated on you, you don't have to shed tears for him. He's not worth your lingering feelings!"
There was a sound coming from the elevator. Wen Huai subconsciously looked over and met the eyes behind the mask. By the time she tried to stop it, it was too late.
Dong Chen's voice was deafening:
"Then I can be your new love and provoke that scumbag, letting him see what the next one is better!"
The leather shoes made a tiny sound as they stepped on the ground.
Suddenly, Dong Chen felt a chill coming towards him from behind.
He turned around and saw Xu Youjing who had appeared out of nowhere. He was so scared that he said, "Xu...Mr. Xu!"
"Um."
Xu Youjing walked past him confidently, but his eyes were on Wen Huai.
He raised his eyebrows and mumbled:
"Next one, better?"
