694: Chapter 694: Good Wife!

Old Fox!

The inevitable has finally arrived!

Wu Jie hung up on Zheng and didn’t rush to leave, but continued with the meeting.

He could provide the graphene composite battery technology anytime.

The technical materials were very detailed, including the formula ratio, manufacturing process, and technological principles…

everything one could ask for.

But how could such black technology be brought out for research so quickly?

Wu Jie had just taken office.

Before that, everyone in the battery research institute was led by Huo Bin.

They bought other people’s batteries and reverse-engineered them.

Even if they could analyze others’ chemical components and internal structures, what good would it do?

It’s like a pot of food.

You know the ingredients and seasonings, but that doesn’t mean you can cook it!

When to add oil, the steps of cooking, the heat control…

none of that can be guessed.

So, reverse-engineering in scientific research is actually the most troublesome.

Everything is based on guesses, and what if the chemical composition is very complex?

Isn’t that like guessing lottery numbers?

With dozens of chemical components, to accurately guess the amount of each, the addition steps, the manufacturing process…

obviously much harder than the lottery!

Rather than guessing how others did it, it would be better to focus on independent research and development, and slowly trial and error until successful.

Therefore.

Wu Jie ordered a halt to reverse engineering.

This kind of foolish method was too wasteful of time and money; they couldn’t research anything useful!

As for the graphene composite battery technology…

Wu Jie wouldn’t easily reveal it to anyone.

People are inscrutable!

Who the hell knows if any of these people would secretly sell it off, or start their own factory and produce batteries?

People die for wealth, birds die for food!

Deng Hua and Chen Yong, such good old classmates, ended up sneakily accepting bribes.

Having only met Huo Bin twice before, who in this vast battery research institute could be trusted?

Of course.

Wu Jie didn’t just fire them all, because they were still of use.

He strongly proposed researching graphene batteries, acquiring necessary equipment and materials, and carrying out various experiments.

Let them fuss with it for a while, and after many failures, Wu Jie would make a ‘chance discovery’.

This way, no one would suspect that Wu Jie’s graphene composite battery technology was obtained from thin air.

Moreover.

Developing and manufacturing batteries is easy, but modifying Fang Qingya’s car design is comparatively troublesome.

During the late-night discussion, the two of them settled on a unified standard.

The car’s exterior design remained unchanged, with a standard battery box reserved under the hood at the front.

The area around the battery box was designed to provide ventilation, collision protection, and resistance to crushing.

In the future, when electric cars enter a battery-swapping station, workers would simply need to open the hood, remove the depleted battery, and replace it with a fully charged one.

If done efficiently, the whole process could be completed in about a minute, faster than refueling.

But all of this was still just an idea; the actual implementation, of course, would be quite cumbersome.

The car’s structure, air ventilation, power distribution, and more had to be redesigned and optimized.

The existing design and assembly had to be altered entirely, and they even had to build prototypes for safety collision tests.

Plus, designing and building battery-swapping stations required theoretical research, construction, and experimental testing.

Time is money.

The progress of the battery is the easiest to achieve, as Wu Jie could exchange energy points for it anytime.

However, modifying the car design and researching battery-swapping stations would still take some time.

…

During the large meeting.

Fang Qingya had become mostly an observer.

Wu Jie assigned all the tasks before he left.

Of course.

Wu Jie didn’t forget to inform Tang Xiao about the matter.

Tang Xiao, who was on a business trip in Aseyah, was just starting her morning while it was already noon in China.

After Wu Jie sent the message, Tang Xiao quickly responded with a video call.

As soon as he connected, he saw Tang Xiao still lying in bed.

Her beautiful face was still sleepy and lazy.

Curling eyelashes, skin white with a rosy hue.

Her eyes, like precious stones, perfectly embodied the phrase ‘a look that conveyed a thousand words.’

With just one glance, Wu Jie’s heart skipped a beat.

Looking at Tang Xiao’s sweet smile, he felt that his choice not to agree with Fang Qingya at 2 a.m.

was absolutely correct.

With such a wife, what more could a husband want?

“I haven’t seen you for just over a day, and you’re already grinning like an idiot?” Tang Xiao asked with a sweet smile.

Wu Jie replied with a smile, “I’m laughing at how many good deeds I must have done in my last life to marry such a beautiful wife in this one!”

“Smooth talker!” Tang Xiao rolled over, lying on her side facing the camera, and chuckled, “Last night there was a celebration banquet at the Presidential Palace, attended by the ambassador and many leaders.

I couldn’t help but drink a little too much in the excitement, and I’m still a bit dizzy!”

“Then why don’t you drink some more hot water?” asked Wu Jie off-handedly.

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“Are you cancer of the straight man?

Is drinking hot water the cure-all?

Drink it for menstrual pain, headaches, when you’re feeling unwell…

”

Wu Jie laughed, “That’s not straight man cancer; that’s what the doctors at the hospital will tell you after all the tests—they only suggest you drink more hot water!”

Humph!

Tang Xiao huffed and asked,

“Where are you now?”

Wu Jie glanced out the car window.

“Just came out of Fang Qingya’s company, getting ready to head back!”

“The Chairman of the Northern Fox Organization, Lepuron, has arrived, and he’s invited me for afternoon tea!”

Tang Xiao chuckled, “How come it took so long to get ahold of you?

The efficiency is too low, that’s worth a bad review!”

“As for negotiations…

I don’t think there’s much to talk about!

There’s no way I can repay the money, and as for the confidential data, I’ll play it by ear!”

Wu Jie shrugged, “We’ll just have to play it by ear when the time comes!

I’m not really interested in them, but as for you…

does our previous bet still count?

Do you want to invest those eighty-something billion Gold Coins in my venture?”

Tang Xiao put on a serious face and asked, “Invest in what?

Do you actually have a good battery technology?

If so, then I might consider it!”

“Come on!

Have you really got so little faith in your own husband?

Fang Qingya is much more open-minded; she didn’t give me a cent but offered me 49% of the shares.

Her company has spent over a billion, it’s basically like giving me a few hundred million for free…”

Wu Jie cut himself off mid-sentence and hurriedly stopped.

Talking about how generous another woman is in front of one’s own wife, that’s probably courting death!

“Keep talking!

Why’d you stop?”

Tang Xiao said with a cold smile, “I never imagined you two were so close!

When I’m home, you don’t talk about cooperation, but as soon as I leave, things get intense.

Is it because my presence gets in the way?”

Wu Jie shook his head decisively, “Don’t be jealous!

The cooperation with her was already confirmed a long time ago; it’s just that she was recuperating from an injury.

It just so happened she was free yesterday…

No, wait!

You know she’s engaged to Lin Yuan, why be jealous?”

Tang Xiao laughed, “I didn’t say I was jealous, you’re the one overthinking it!

I would doubt Chu Yunxuan but definitely not Fang Qingya!”

“By the way, has Chu Yunxuan moved out yet?

Also, how are your two brothers doing?”

“I heard they triggered a major car accident⁠—heavy losses.

Looks like they can’t escape prison this time!”

Wu Jie snorted with a bit of laughter.

“Chu Yunxuan will be moving out in the next couple of days.

I found her a job to give her a way out, no need for her to starve!”

“As for Deng Hua and the other, endangering public safety, they deserve a long sentence.

It’s their own doing, I don’t want to bother with them anymore!”

Tang Xiao sighed with a comforting tone,

“Fang Yan called me, I know all about it.

Trying to get rich quick through betting on sports, and ending up bankrupt and heavily in debt…”

Wu Jie immediately got annoyed.

“What?

She even called you?”

Tang Xiao sighed,

“Yeah!

But she wasn’t asking for money, she wanted my help to get the police not to detain and prosecute Chen Yong and the other.”

“She also said how both families are bankrupt and utterly desperate.

If the two of them end up in jail, both families would be completely ruined!”

“I didn’t commit to anything, told her I was on a business trip abroad, I’d deal with it when I got back.

Anyway, Chen Yong and the other are still in the hospital, so their detention is on hold.”

Wu Jie snorted, “You should have just flat out refused!

Why bother helping?

Where’s that domineering CEO decisiveness of yours gone to?”

“This…”

Tang Xiao noticed the change in Wu Jie’s expression and of course, she knew he was deeply hurt.

“I don’t know, maybe after getting married, I feel it’s not so easy to build a family, and I couldn’t bear to do it!”

Wu Jie gritted his teeth,

“If they had any self-discipline, none of this would’ve happened; who else can they blame?”

“Alright!

Let’s drop this subject; it just makes me angry to think about it!”

Tang Xiao quickly responded, “Okay, okay, as you wish, we won’t talk about that.

So tell me, why did you suddenly upgrade your software again?”

“The negotiations for the software conversion tool haven’t been going well on your father’s side, and on top of that, you come up with this revolutionary invention!”

“This time, it totally changed the negotiating stance of Microsoft and Apple!”

Wu Jie let out a chuckle.

“When you’re not home and bored, you’ve gotta find something to do, right?

Otherwise it’s just too empty, lonely, and cold!”

“Uh…

can’t you be a little more self-reliant?” Tang Xiao said with a mischievous smile.

Wu Jie rolled his eyes and pouted, “For someone with a wife, self-reliance…

how embarrassing is that?

Seriously, when are you coming back?”

Tang Xiao sighed deeply, “I wish I could return sooner!

But the ambassador helped me, contacted several neighboring countries hoping I would negotiate in person, using the Zhuzhou SAM project as an advertisement to expand the business.

They meant well, how could I refuse?”

Wu Jie said annoyed, “Damn it!

Can’t Cai Xu do the negotiating?

Are they too low-level, not showing enough respect for the client, right?”

Tang Xiao smiled sweetly, “Since you know that, try to be more understanding!

After all, I have to talk to top-level officials; it’s really not appropriate for Cai Xu to go.

I’ll try to get back as fast as I can, within two or three days for sure!”

“Damn!

Two or three days?” In addition to his sighing, Wu Jie suddenly asked, “Can it be cumulative?”

“Cumulative what?” Tang Xiao asked back.

“Damn!

Stop pretending!

You know what I mean!”

Wu Jie wiggled his eyebrows naughtily.

Tang Xiao’s face instantly blushed.

…

As they flirted playfully, time flew by.

Around two in the afternoon, Wu Jie arrived at Tianyuan Haoting in a business van arranged by Fang Qingya.

Stepping out of the van, he could feel a powerful presence.

That’s right!

Outside the store, there were several tall and burly foreigners patrolling back and forth.

There were sentries in multiple places, and there were police and riot cars on standby.

Secret service agents patrolled with dogs, a particularly stunning scene, highly fortified indeed!

Anyone unaware would think an important foreign dignitary was visiting.

That was indeed the case.

Curious passersby and regular customers gathered outside the security line, observing and chatting casually.

Everyone thought an important foreign guest had arrived, but who could have known that it was just an ‘Old Fox’ that had come?

The arrival of Wu Jie also caused quite a stir.

Everyone knew he and his good buddy Zhang Hao co-owned the shop.

What kind of important guest had come today, to have Wu Jie personally attend to them?

Amidst the greetings and queries, Wu Jie smiled and waved his hand, entering the store under the escort of the secret service.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wu Jie saw Zheng, who had been waiting for a while.

“Wasn’t it Lepuron who invited me for afternoon tea?

Why make such a big deal out of it?

People outside think we’re receiving some important foreign guest!”

Zheng laughed, “You’re actually right, his status and influence are in no way inferior to a high-profile guest!”

“Is he really that awesome?”

Wu Jie snorted with a cold chuckle, “Come on!

Let’s see what this ‘Old Fox’ looks like!”
