Chapter 148 Another Hypocrite



The coldness in Liu Zhengchen's eyes suddenly eased, and he looked at Lin Tao with satisfaction. He chuckled and said, "You are very good."

Lin Tao frowned slightly but said nothing.

If one deliberately forgets the scene when they first met, perhaps Liu Zhengchen's expression at this moment would make people think that he is a person who is easy to talk to. Unfortunately, Lin Tao has not only seen this side of him, but also seen his other more hypocritical side when he was at the Zhengwei Mecha Center.

This guy is definitely more hypocritical, insincere, and cold-hearted than Dean Gu Zhengqi.

Lin Tao avoids such people as much as possible.

Director Wei had to smile the whole time. He had already inquired about this kind of news last night. In addition, Lin Tao was able to take down other company executives and the drawings of the new K223 aircraft with just one move, so he gritted his teeth and followed Lin Tao wholeheartedly, otherwise he would have run away on the spot.

Zheng Cheng is from the Blood Wolf Gang, and there are very few people who can convince him wholeheartedly. Lin Tao is an exception, so Liu Zhengchen's relaxed expression did not change his mentality.

Liang Zeyu was already frightened and felt uncomfortable all over. Although he now knew that 'L' was his boss Lin Tao, at the beginning, 'L' was a rumor about Liu Zhengchen, which was spread from his Skynet account. If Liu Zhengchen was determined to investigate, he would definitely find him out.

By then...

Liang Zeyu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Junior Brother Lin Taolin, let's get together when we have time." Liu Zhengchen nodded and quickly got into the topic of this visit: "By the way, did you recruit a Skynet mecha master named 'L'?"

After these words were spoken, Lin Tao's expression remained unchanged, Zheng Cheng remained as usual, Director Wei and Liang Zeyu swallowed their saliva on the spot, and their eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Tao.

After a pause, Liu Zhengchen continued, "Well, this 'L' is really a good Skynet mecha master. He defeated Wu Ma Ji repeatedly on Skynet this time. With this kind of performance, as long as he is under Skynet's observation and undergoes a year of evaluation, he will probably be able to enter the Tianwai Tian rankings."

Strange, why does this guy look like he doesn't recognize 'L'?

Lin Tao looked normal, but he was thinking this in his heart.

However, since it seems that Liu Zhengchen has not yet found out that he is 'L', Lin Tao will not reveal his identity.

After all, once Liu Zhengchen knew the truth, he would only use his status as a member of the Liu family to force him to join the Liu family, which was not what Lin Tao had in mind.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao calmly asked: "This is strange. Isn't it you that Skynet is saying that 'L' is you?"

Lin Tao is not like Director Wei and Dean Gu Zhengqi, who would use the term "you" when addressing the Liu family, but Liu Zhengchen doesn't seem to mind.

Zheng Cheng frowned slightly at the fact that Lin Tao did not admit his identity as 'L'. Director Wei and Liang Zeyu were both startled, as if they did not understand what Lin Tao meant.

"If 'L' was me, do you think I would come to your Sixiang Mecha Company?" Liu Zhengchen laughed, "Besides, Wu Maji is a master from the outside world, not much different from me. Do you really think I can easily defeat him with a new type of mecha?"

"Then..." Lin Tao's expression remained unchanged.

"This time, 'L' used a new machine launched by your Four Elephants Mecha Company, so I wanted to come over and ask if your Four Elephants Mecha Company accidentally recruited this 'L' back."

Liu Zhengchen paused here, as if to mock himself, "I, Liu Zhengchen, would be happy to make friends with a master who can easily defeat Wu Ma Ji."

Is that really the case? Lin Tao didn't care. He turned his head and glanced at Liang Zeyu and Director Wei. His eyes seemed to glance at Director Wei casually, which made Director Wei tremble in his heart.

"This incident is a bit strange." Lin Tao said: "Our new aircraft K223 was under the influence of Skynet public opinion. When we were thinking of a solution, we accidentally received a video from a fan. Well, it was the video we used to fight back at the beginning. We used this video to directly engage in a public opinion war.'"

"What happened next was even more unexpected. This fan named 'L' suddenly had a fight with Wu Maji for the highest stakes in Skynet. I think Young Master Liu should also know about what happened afterwards, right?"

Seeing Liu Zhengchen frowning, Lin Tao grinned and said with a slight smile: "However, Master Liu, I have always heard that this 'L' seems to be your nickname. This matter..."

"Haha~ Don't be embarrassed, this 'L' is really not me." Liu Zhengchen raised his hand and waved it. He couldn't afford to lose face. If he admitted this, once he was challenged by those guys from Tianwaitian, he would definitely be exposed. By then, he wouldn't be able to clear himself and would only cause trouble in vain.

What's more, he had been defeated by 'L' before. If he really recognized him and angered 'L', he might even get challenged by 'L'. He would definitely suffer a worse fate than Wu Ma Ji.

Now, Wu Ma Ji's reputation has been completely ruined not only in Skynet, but also among the mecha divisions. Unless he abandons this name and hides in an interstellar exploration team, or completely sells himself to a wealthy force, he will not be able to continue to mix in the mecha division.

At this point, Liu Zhengchen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Tao and the others. Seeing Director Wei's strange expression, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wei Wendao, I heard that you are the director of the business department of Sixiang Mecha Company. Could it be that you know something about the inside story?"

"No, no, no..." Director Wei shook his head like a drum. He was originally shocked by Lin Tao's eyes and didn't know what was going on. But he never expected that Lin Tao actually refused to acknowledge the identity of 'L'.

At this moment, he was trembling in his heart, not knowing why.

Seeing Liu Zhengchen asking questions, he quickly explained: "In fact, it was me who formulated the strategy of using the 'L' video to promote our Four Elephants Mecha Company's machines. Now, I also intercepted a part of the video of the battle between 'L' and Wu Ma Ji, and was planning to make a special feature, but after hearing what you said, I... I..."

It seemed that Director Wei was determined to stand on Lin Tao's side and expressed a sense of panic.

Zheng Cheng, who had been keeping an eye on him, was a little surprised, because since Lin Tao wanted to conceal the identity of 'L', if Director Wei did not recognize him, Zheng Cheng would definitely get rid of him afterwards.

So that's how it is. Liu Zhengchen immediately understood why Director Wei looked strange. However, seeing that Lin Tao and the others seemed to have just encountered this 'L' by chance, he did not continue.

After all, he is a member of the Liu family, one of the eight wealthy families. After knowing his identity, Lin Tao and others would never dare to fool him in person.

"Since you just met by chance, there's nothing I can do about it. I had been planning to come over and make friends with him." Liu Zhengchen pretended to be generous. After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly mentioned the K223 machine.

"By the way, your K223 aircraft's data looks good. If the real aircraft is released, can it really reach the values ​​on Skynet?"

"Absolutely." Lin Tao nodded. Seeing Liu Zhengchen's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "This new K223 aircraft has been recognized by the First Academy, including the dean and a number of department heads."

"So that's how it is." Liu Zhengchen finally understood and nodded immediately. Since he could get unanimous nods from those guys, he guessed it was true.

Liu Zhengchen also watched a battle between 'L' and Wu Maji. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "From the perspective of that machine, those small engines seem to have a lot of effects on the machine's data. I wonder if these engines can be used on a humanoid machine."

"I also want to study this aspect, but you also know that our Sixiang Mecha Company does not have the design and production capabilities of humanoid robots." Lin Tao smiled helplessly.

In this era, humanoid bodies and bionic bodies are completely different things, so the Interstellar Federation licenses them separately to mecha companies to avoid designing weird bodies.

"Haha~~ I would like to see the day when humanoid mechas are equipped with small engines." Liu Zhengchen smiled. From that battle, he had already seen the advantages of K223's small engines. It can be imagined that if his special body can be equipped with such a small engine, the performance will definitely be improved by more than double.

"Well, let me help you find a way to get the license for the humanoid robot." Liu Zhengchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If it doesn't work, then I suggest you go to another mecha company and become the CEO."

Lin Tao was stunned. He was just planning to use the Sixiang Mecha Company to design a humanoid machine. If Liu Zhengchen could really solve the problem for him, then he could openly design the machine he needed without having to secretly open an underground secret room.

However, Liu Zhengchen's words also revealed another message, which was that he wanted to win over Lin Tao.

The Liu family, one of the eight wealthy families, is not a monolithic entity, and each branch has its own power.

"If it can be done, I would really trouble Senior Brother Liu Zhengchen." Lin Tao smiled.

"Hahaha~~" Liu Zhengchen laughed: "Since you are also from the First Mecha Academy, we are brothers, there is no need to be separated. By the way, Junior Brother Lin Tao, if you are free now, I will prepare a banquet for you to meet Chen, and at the same time let you meet some people."

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, but thinking of his current identity as the CEO of Sixiang Mecha Company, he immediately understood. He turned around and ordered, "Zheng Cheng, you guys take care of the company's affairs first. Director Wei will promote the video so that K223 can be launched in three months."

Zheng Cheng nodded without saying anything. Liang Zeyu also nodded repeatedly, but he did not dare to look at Liu Zhengchen again.

"CEO Lin, I understand." Director Wei swallowed his saliva.
