ABT Chapter 75
"You quit? What are you thinking?" Lifan Yufu picked up the wet tissue again, surprised, and asked again.
Previously, he had heard An Ning talk about her job; the director of Mercedes-Benz China! An independent office on the highest floor of the headquarters, with a lofty status, who in each department would dare not to take her seriously? Not to mention the annual salary of over two million yuan, not counting various employee stock dividends and bonuses.
Although Lifan Yufu's wallet was bulging now, he knew very well that without Xapp, he wouldn't have been able to earn so much money so easily.
Following the normal trajectory, after graduation, getting an average job, with his talent and ability, five or six thousand yuan a month would already be very good.
An Ning sat up, "The policies they talked about today were already known within Mercedes-Benz two weeks ago. I won't hide it from you, I'm twenty-nine this year, and things that couldn't be done when I was young, if I don't do them now, I won't have the chance."
Drinking alcohol is something you do depending on your mood.
The conversation between the two of them in the corner of the hall obviously stirred up An Ning's emotions. With her emotions up, the alcohol in her stomach also began to take effect.
Her eyes were a bit unfocused, in the dim light, she looked at Lifan Yufu, and declared with each word, "Brother, I want to set up a car laboratory."
Lifan Yufu had just picked up the wet tissue and dropped it on the ground again. Not because of the laboratory, but because of the woman in front of him, who was charming in her moment of slight intoxication.
"A c-car laboratory? Does that thing make money?" Lifan Yufu had a blank look on his face, not even knowing what he was saying.
An Ning smiled and placed her hand on Lifan Yufu's nose, gently tapping it. "Money-grubber, I thought you were carrying dreams with you. Not everything is done for money. The current atmosphere in our industry is like this; whoever develops is considered a fool, relying on counterfeits and imitations to seek profits. Mercedes-Benz internally turns a blind eye to domestic counterfeits and imitations. Do you know why? It's like the pirated Microsoft systems back then. You could only make a few bucks by selling pirated discs. When pirated operating systems occupied the vast majority of the market share, your own operating system couldn't develop at all. Do we have any decent computer systems in our country now? What I want to do is provide a platform for independent research and development, so that our own research and design can have a basic incubator, nothing more."
Lifan Yufu wiped his nose, which she had tickled, and said, "That's a good thing, but why do you seem unhappy?"
"Pursuing dreams, realizing ambitions, I should be happy, right? But, it's really damn difficult. Now the country supports car laboratories, so I enthusiastically slammed my resignation report on the president's desk a half-month ago. Then, I enthusiastically applied to the government for funding. They told me that the laboratory must be affiliated with a company. Fine, I went and registered a company. Then they said the laboratory must have a site of over five thousand square meters, a profitable trend for the company to invest in, and a research team to be named. Well, isn't it about profit? So, I just started the company first. As for the research team, I have you guys, but for the site, I've searched all these car companies, and no one wants to give up this small immediate benefit. Nanhe Group does have a factory building they don't use..."
At this point, An Ning subconsciously hugged her arms, self-deprecatingly saying, "Hey, why am I talking to you like a child about this? It seems that I'm getting old and drank too much. You haven't found a place to stay yet, have you? I've prepared rooms upstairs for you. Let's go, I'll take you there."
With that, she pulled Lifan Yufu over to where the three academic elites and Cheng Ke were.
They had drunk too much today, and the three academic elites were already swaying on the table, while Ke Ke was even worse, completely spaced out.
Lifan Yufu was vaguely worried about An Ning, but seeing that she was still relatively sober, he didn't say anything more. He helped the three academic elites while An Ning supported Cheng Ke, and they took the elevator to the guest rooms upstairs.
An Ning had arranged everything very thoughtfully, specially booking three rooms for them. Lifan Yufu pushed the three academic elites onto the big bed, then walked out of the room panting and gasping, and went back to help An Ning.
Cheng Ke was still relatively honest when drunk, with a red face and a silly smile, but he was heavy.
After the journey, An Ning was already sweating profusely. With the cooperation of the two, they finally settled the little drunkard.
Of course, An Ning helped him change into his pajamas.
Seeing Lifan Yufu's evasion, An Ning was somewhat surprised. Just now, seeing Lifan Yufu and Cheng Ke's attire, she thought they were in a romantic relationship.
"I didn't expect you to be so conservative. Haven't reached that stage yet?" An Ning joked as she wiped the tiny beads of sweat from her neck with a towel.
Lifan Yufu stood at the door, puzzled. "Which stage?"
"Pretending to be clueless."
An Ning rolled her eyes at him, tucked in Ke Ke's blanket, got up, and left. When she saw Lifan Yufu following her out and locking the door, she asked curiously, "Aren't you going to stay inside and take care of them?"
Lifan Yufu shrugged. "Hey! Look at what you're saying. A man and a woman staying in a room all night, how am I supposed to explain that in the morning?"
Furrowing her brow, An Ning looked at the innocent-looking figure for a moment. She smiled, "Silly."
"You've been drinking a lot tonight too, so just rest. Make breakfast for the lady tomorrow morning, got it?" With that, she handed Lifan Yufu the room key for the adjacent room, instructed him to rest, then turned and left.
Lifan Yufu held the room key, wondering what was going on. As a successful young CEO, how did he end up like this?
He shouted loudly at An Ning's retreating figure, "Sis, it's already past nine, where are you going?"
Without turning her head, An Ning waved her hand, "I'm off to conquer new territory. You go to bed early!"
Holding the room key, Lifan Yufu watched her slightly unsteady but beautiful legs, shaking his head helplessly.
Late at night, lying on the dry and soft bed, Lifan Yufu couldn't fall asleep no matter what he tried.
Everyone's reaction to alcohol is different; some people get drunk and fall asleep due to alcohol suppressing their brain reflex nerves. Lifan Yufu, however, felt more alert the more he drank.
But the discomfort was still the same.
He tried to vomit several times in the bathroom but couldn't, so he had to endure the burning discomfort in his stomach and struggled to fall asleep.
After waiting for a long time, the effects of alcohol slowly dissipated, and he began to feel a bit drowsy.
Just as he was about to drift off into sleep, there was a muffled thud at the door. This startled him, and he quickly got up, wrapping himself in the blanket, and walked over.
Before he could reach the door, he heard a somewhat stiff voice from outside, "Miss An, isn't it just a piece of land? Accompany me tonight, and I'll approve it for you tomorrow!"
