Chapter 298 An Yun: I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet.

The news that someone had modified a new engine to increase vehicle speed spread throughout the machine shop in just one hour. The workers could not leave their posts at will, but after quickly assigning tasks, the junior managers of each workshop all jogged to the old site behind the machine shop.

At that moment, a military jeep and a black sedan were parked in the same line. The deputy factory director overcame all difficulties to get the referee's position, and, with a whistle in hand, stood between the two vehicles with an excited look on his face.

Bai Nuo stood obediently between An Yun and Liu Yanan, clearly hearing the discussions around him. They were all talking about modifying the engine to increase the car's speed, and everyone was guessing where this talented person came from.

Some people guessed it was Fang Meng, who was sitting in a military jeep at that moment, while others guessed it was An Yun, who had a gentle and refined demeanor and a noble air.

Some even guessed it was the aloof and dashing Liu Yanan, but no one attributed it to Bai Nuo, who was standing obediently.

There's no way around it, this little girl looks very young, with delicate and cute features, she looks like she's come over to play with her older brother or sister.

With a whistle, the two vehicles stopped at the starting point sped off simultaneously. In a second, everyone noticed that the military jeep had already overtaken the black sedan next to it.

"This...this is already accelerating from the very start?"

The head of the R&D department of the machinery factory, who had somehow appeared, stared in shock at the speeding military jeep. After the initial shock, he was filled with excitement and instinctively ran to the deputy factory director, who was still standing in the middle of the road, and excitedly grabbed the other's arm.

"And look, the speed is really fast. Although the speed needs to be controlled due to road conditions, it is obvious that the military jeep is more stable."

The deputy factory director, who had been stunned, was jolted back to his senses by the grab from the R&D department head. He grimaced and looked over speechlessly, saying, "I know, I saw it. My eyesight is fine. Can you be a little gentler? Do you know how strong you are?"

The thing I usually do most is hand-rub mechanical parts; I have to use a lot of strength in my hands.

"Comrade!"

The head of the R&D department suddenly turned around and excitedly ran towards Bai Nuo, An Yun, and Liu Yanan, extending his hands even before he reached them.

An Yun instinctively stretched out her arm to block Bai Nuo, but...

The minister didn't even glance at Bai Nuo. He grabbed An Yun's outstretched hand and held it tightly with both hands, his eyes full of eagerness.

That fiery gaze sent shivers down An Yun's spine, leaving her completely bewildered.

Why are you holding my hand?

At the same time, Liu Yanan instinctively pulled the little girl next to her behind her, watching the minister who suddenly ran over warily.

As a result, the minister's eyes were completely fixed on An Yun, and he didn't even glance at the two girls over there.

Liu Yanan frowned in confusion, turned her head and looked at Bai Nuo, whom she had pulled behind her. The two girls saw similar expressions in each other's eyes.

What's going on here?!

"Comrade, if I may ask, which unit do you currently work for? Would you be interested in joining the R&D department of our No. 1 Machinery Factory? Don't worry, we can discuss the salary and benefits. The R&D department is still short of a deputy director. When the factory director returns in a while, I will recommend you and talk to him. What do you think?"

"ah?"

Even the usually clever and quick-witted An Yun was bewildered by these words, staring blankly at the person in front of her.

"No, wait a minute!"

An Yun snapped out of her daze, looked speechlessly at the minister whose face was full of excitement and anticipation, and shook her head with amusement. "Comrade Minister, you've got it wrong. I don't have the ability to modify the engine. Besides, this is the first test drive of this car. It's still uncertain whether the engine can pass the test. Let's wait and see."

Liu Yanan also twitched her lips speechlessly, and gently squeezed the little girl's hand behind her back. Unsurprisingly, she heard a soft laugh behind her.

The minister clearly didn't quite believe An Yun's words. He knew Fang Meng, and it was obvious that the crazy kid was a master at fighting on the battlefield, conducting reconnaissance, and capturing enemy agents, but he wasn't cut out for machinery. So the minister hadn't thought of Fang Meng from the beginning.

Of the remaining three people, Liu Yanan is a police officer from the county public security bureau, and he also knows about this matter, so only An Yun is the most likely candidate.

As for that cute and well-behaved little girl, the minister never even considered it.

While talent is highly valued in mechanical research, experience, theory, and practical skills are equally important. It is obvious that a teenage girl does not possess the latter qualities.

Therefore, this R&D department head, whose hairline was receding and who had dark circles under his eyes, didn't even consider Bai Nuo's involvement.

An Yun didn't mention this matter either. Everything had to wait until the car was successfully test-driven. The four of them had already discussed all the follow-up matters last night, including how to cleverly and reasonably secure the greatest benefit from this engine.

How to maximize benefits within a reasonable and legal framework, while ensuring the satisfaction and gratitude of partners, and ultimately using this gratitude to prepare for future networking and further expansion of benefits.

This is a required course for the descendants of their family, a course that was taught to them by Granny Bai and Granny Zhou together.

I will certainly not embarrass the two ladies!

[Sorry for the long wait, my darlings! I've been working on my back these past few days, but I can finally get up and start updating again!]
