"How old are you? Even if you rob a bank, you won't be able to earn that much money." Xu Nan said. However, she paused after recalling Ye Lingchen's capabilities. She could not help but feel relieved. With her master's capabilities, earning money was not a difficult task.
"Student Ye Lingchen, the one you're living with is a girl, right?" Xu Wanqing pointed at the clothes hanging on the balcony and asked.
"That's right. To be precise, it's two girls." Ye Lingchen nodded and admitted it frankly.
"Student Ye Lingchen, as your teacher, I have to remind you. First, you must control yourself. Secondly, a man must be responsible!" Xu Wanqing said solemnly.
Xu Nan, who was standing at the side, pouted. Her expression was a little ugly. "Master, you're living together illegally. I have the right to arrest you!"
"You've grown bolder now. How dare you speak to your master like that?" Ye Lingchen raised his hand and was about to flick Xu Nan's head.
"Hmph!" Xu Nan harrumphed, then took a step back to avoid Ye Lingchen's hand. She turned her head and said in a muffled voice, "Men and women shouldn't touch. Be careful or I'll sue you for sexual harassment!"
Ye Lingchen shook his head with a bitter smile. The young mistress' temper came out of nowhere.
Xu Wanqing, on the other hand, looked at Ye Lingchen, then at Xu Nan with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Buzz buzz buzz!
However, the next moment, all three of their phones vibrated at the same time.
They took out their phones. As expected, it was a push news report. Ye Lingchen did not react when he saw the content. His expression was calm, but Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing's expressions changed drastically. Their faces instantly turned pale.
The news report was about an accident involving a driverless car.
Although the incident had just happened, it was definitely the biggest news and accident in recent years. It instantly attracted the attention of all the major media outlets. It was only natural that they would rush to report it. That was why they pushed the news immediately.
The content of the news was as follows: [The driverless car technology has yet to be perfected. Wanrong Automobile Group disregarded everyone's safety and conducted a random experiment, resulting in 97 injuries! Among them, 21 of them have been classified as seriously injured. Fortunately, none of them died … This news will continue to follow up and report it to everyone as soon as possible. If there are any deaths, the boss of Wanrong Automobile Group will face jail time!]
Other than that, he also roughly calculated Wanrong Automobile Group's losses and the consequences they would face. His tone was laced with criticism.
Weibo News, Tencent News, and even the authoritative Central News Agency all stood out at the first moment. From the boss of a group with unlimited glory, to a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up, it was only a moment.
Without a doubt, the internet was filled with curses. Wanrong Automobile Group's self-driving technology, which they had been relying on, had now become their downfall. Their reputation was completely ruined.
[He's bragging just because his skills are good? This black-hearted company should close down as soon as possible!]
[Are they trying to use autonomous driving technology to scam money? Fortunately, the experiment failed. If it had succeeded, how many families would be ruined after it was popularized?]
[This is too terrifying and irresponsible! This was disregarding human life! I suggest that the government investigate this company thoroughly. There must be a problem!]
[F * ck, to think I supported you so much before! What bullsh * t number one in the automotive industry! Do you know how shameful you are?!]
[Yeah, the foreign news is also reporting on this matter. It's all boasting, but it's a slap in the face!]
…
As they scrolled down, the panic on Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing's faces increased. They seemed to be in a daze.
They had guessed that the autonomous driving technology would fail, but they did not expect the consequences to be so severe. To their father, it was a devastating blow.
They were filled with regret. They should have listened to Ye Lingchen back then. No matter what, even if it meant falling out with their father, they should have stopped the demonstration.
"Master …" Xu Nan raised her head to look at Ye Lingchen. Tears flowed down her cheeks helplessly.
Xu Wanqing quickly took out her phone and gave her father a call.
At the same time, at the headquarters of Wanrong Automobile Group …
The conference hall was silent. Everyone had a gloomy expression. No one spoke. It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.
'How did things turn out this way?'
At that moment, Ouyang Qing's heart was filled with despair. She was not standing, but kneeling in the conference room. Her teeth were clenched so tightly that she was almost bleeding.
"Uncle Xu, Dad, and all the shareholders, I've let Wanrong Group down." With that, even someone as domineering as her also shed tears.
No one responded. It was still dead silent.
It was too late to say anything now.
Ring ring ring!
Chairman Xu's phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID, let out a long sigh, and accepted the call.
"Dad, can this matter be salvaged?" Xu Wanqing asked with her last shred of hope.
On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.
What else could be salvaged? The worst thing a brand feared was a tarnished reputation. Moreover, the losses they suffered this time could only be described as devastating. Wanrong Group's future financing would be greatly reduced, and their collaborating companies would also terminate their collaborations. It would be difficult for them to move forward.
Most importantly, from the news, it was not hard to tell that some of Wanrong Group's competitors and some foreign companies were taking the opportunity to suppress Wanrong Automobile Group. Under such circumstances, how could they turn the tables?
The building was about to collapse!
Xu Wanqing's heart sank. At that moment, Xu Nan snatched the phone and said furiously, "Dad, I've told you before that I don't agree to this demonstration. My master said that there's a problem with the autonomous driving technology, yet you ignored my words. I'm your daughter. Why would I harm you? You've really pissed me off! "
Xu Nan had a belly full of anger. At that moment, she was filled with grief and anger. She cried and yelled, "You never believed me, always saying that I'm messing around. You didn't even listen to what I said! Originally, I wanted to bring my master to the location of the autonomous vehicle to seize the last opportunity to improve the equipment, but you even stopped us from entering. My sister and I had to invite my master over and over again. Do you know how much face I had to put down? I've always wanted to help you, but have you ever given me a chance?!
"And Ouyang Qing, get Abbess Miejue on the phone! This is all because of her arrogance! She's the main culprit! My master has already written down the improvement method for the autonomous driving technology to her, yet she didn't even look at it! What right does she have to look down on my master? In my heart, she doesn't even have the right to carry my master's shoes! "
The entire conference room was extremely quiet. Therefore, Xu Nan's yell was clearly heard by everyone. They did not feel good after hearing it. They pursed their lips bitterly. If they had chosen to listen to Xu Nan's suggestion, things would not have come to this …
