I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Tang Yumo rolled her eyes and said with a mischievous smile, "Although it's unlikely he'll come looking for us on his own, we can make him come."

Su Chen and Yuan Jingna looked at him curiously, not understanding how he could get Chen Anrong to come to him on her own initiative.

Tang Yumo said mysteriously, "If you trust me, then leave this matter to me."

Su Chen immediately waved his hand. He truly didn't trust Tang Yumo; who knew what methods she might use?

If the method used is inappropriate, then that would be bad.

Yuan Jingna also disagreed, insisting that Tang Yumo explain his approach first before deciding on a method.

Tang Yumo had no choice but to tell the two people the solution he had come up with.

"Deliberately leaking some information."

As for what this rumor was, Tang Yumo didn't specify, but it was just that she deliberately let Chen Anrong know some information.

He will take the initiative once he knows this information.

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately frowned.

This news is definitely not good news; it's very likely aimed at Chen Anrong.

This sounds a bit like forcing someone.

Both of them shook their heads; this idea wasn't very good.

Tang Yumo shook her head in annoyance, spreading her hands and thinking to herself: Since you think my idea won't work, then you can figure it out yourselves.

He patted his thigh, stood up, and said, "I'm tired. You guys keep chatting, I'm leaving."

Yuan Jingna quickly grabbed his arm.

"Don't go! Let's talk some more. Don't you have any other ideas?"

"You're so smart, you must have even better ideas."

Tang Yumo shook her head and said very firmly that she had no other ideas.

The idea he came up with was the best idea, and it was specifically designed for Chen Anrong.

It might not work on others, but it's absolutely effective on someone like Chen Anrong.

Su Chen ultimately rejected his proposal.

He didn't want to use any coercive methods to seek cooperation; that was something others usually used on him, not on others.

He doesn't need it.

Seeing that Tang Yumo was really about to leave, Su Chen frowned and suddenly spoke.

"If all else fails, I'll take a look at it."

Hearing his nonchalant words, Yuan Jingna and Tang Yumo beamed with joy.

The two knew that Su Chen was capable. If he really delved into the research, they couldn't guarantee that he could develop a time machine, but he would definitely be able to achieve some results.

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly said, "I was just saying, don't take it seriously. I don't plan to study it yet."

The two looked slightly disappointed, but Tang Yumo wasn't in a hurry. She thought for a moment and said, "Don't you want to surpass the other party? This is a globally renowned technology. You've been involved in other technologies, but this time it has nothing to do with you. Aren't you afraid of being dethroned?"

Su Chen laughed heartily. He believed that he had never been on a pedestal, so how could he possibly be dragged down by someone?

Being constantly in the spotlight isn't a good thing, but now that everyone's attention is on someone else, he seems to enjoy it.

Thinking of that young man, he asked Yuan Jingna if she knew any information about him.
Yuan Jingna shook her head.

"We couldn't find any information about that young man. Chen Anrong's confidentiality measures were very thorough."

Tang Yumo refused to believe it and took the blame upon herself.

"Really? Let me check."

The three of them separated and each went about their own business.

Tang Yumo began investigating the identity of Expert Wang, and so far she only knew this name.

First, we performed facial recognition, filtering through a large database, but surprisingly, we couldn't find anything.

The staff member next to him immediately explained, "It's very likely that he had plastic surgery or something similar, and his appearance has changed."

"Is there any other way to investigate?" Tang Yumo asked.

The person next to him pondered and said, "There's no particularly good way right now; it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"If we can find his fingerprints or blood, we can also conduct a data investigation."

Tang Yumo shook her head.

This is simply impossible.

However, he thought of another way.

He wanted to use this expert Wang's network of connections to find out his true identity, so he contacted some people.

Tang Yumo began her investigation, but unfortunately, she still found nothing.

On this day, I happened to run into Yuan Jingna.

Yuan Jingna then asked him how the investigation was going.

Tang Yumo stomped her foot in anger, "I'm not going to check anymore, I can't find anything."

Seeing that Tang Yumo also made a mistake, Yuan Jingna couldn't help but smile and comfort him.

Then, the two of them walked forward together.

They went to a restaurant; they hadn't been to a restaurant in a long time, so they decided to eat there today.

When I arrived at the restaurant, a group of people were gathered around, doing something I couldn't quite make out.

The two got closer and realized that Su Chen had also come to the restaurant, which surprised them greatly.

Because Su Chen rarely eats at the restaurant, every time he does, he is surrounded by many experts who ask him a lot of questions.

This is why he was unwilling to come over. Why did he suddenly decide to eat here today?
The two people listened from behind as Su Chen discussed various things with the experts, many of whom brought up the topic of time machines.

Su Chen answered their questions one by one.

Although Su Chen and his team did not agree to cooperate with Chen Anrong, the experts would not give up.

Now that there was no hope left with Chen Anrong, they began their own research.

However, this was a spontaneous research project, so everyone basically conducted their own research whenever they had the time.

We all sat down together to discuss things; there wasn't time for everyone to be busy with their own things.

Su Chen happened to be here today, so everyone asked him all sorts of questions about the time machine.

Because Su Chen had done research on time machines before, he could answer some of the questions, but there were some he couldn't answer and he needed to consult other experts.

Everyone engaged in discussions and explorations, creating a harmonious and enjoyable atmosphere.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't see Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna behind them.

After a long while, someone behind them noticed the two people and immediately greeted them.

Everyone greeted the two people, and the discussion temporarily stopped.

One of the experts even joked, "You two really came at the worst possible time."

Tang Yumo shrugged and said, following his lead, "Then let's go back."

The expert quickly replied, "Just kidding, we'd love to have you here. We were just discussing time machines, are you interested?"

The two nodded, and then everyone continued their discussion. This time, Su Chen didn't say much, but instead let Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna speak.

These two people know more about time machines than the experts, but when it comes to research, they know less than the experts.

The two sides complemented each other, and there were many topics for discussion.

Tang Yumo mostly asked questions, and the experts answered them for him.

She then asked how to solve these problems, and the experts were at a loss for what to do. They came up with all sorts of strange ideas, and the arguments continued. Su Chen would occasionally chime in with a comment.

Su Chen's words always have the effect of adding the finishing touch. Often, when everyone is arguing fiercely, the topic will be stopped as soon as Su Chen steps in and speaks.

Because Su Chen's words were like a royal decree, they could basically confirm the facts.

There's no need for further debate.

After chatting for about an hour, Su Chen patted his stomach and suggested that everyone eat.

Everyone smiled and nodded, then took their trays to get their food.

After getting their food, everyone gathered together again, eating and chatting.

Su Chen and the others sat together. Tang Yumo opened her mouth and had just said the words "time machine" when Su Chen interrupted her.

"Alright, let's not talk during the meal. If you want to talk, sit at the same table as them."

As he spoke, Su Chen pointed to the table next to them, where the people were still chatting.

Yu Mo pursed her lips and finally fell silent, but she secretly glanced at Su Chen, seemingly lost in thought.

Yuan Jingna never talks much while eating; she eats quietly with her head down, in a gentle and refined manner.

They look like they eat slowly, but they actually eat very quickly.

While everyone else was still eating, he had already finished and put down his chopsticks.

Su Chen watched as he put down his chopsticks, ate a few more bites, then put down his chopsticks as well, yawned, and slowly got up.

It means I'm leaving.

When the experts around him saw him get up, they also stood up, their faces full of attempts to persuade him to stay.

Su Chen wasn't going to give them any face. He had already talked with them for a long time and was a little tired.

She smiled and waved to everyone, saying, "I'm going back first."

Helpless, everyone could only nod and see Su Chen to the door.

Yuan Jingna stayed by Su Chen's side, while Tang Yumo was still eating; he had some things to discuss with the experts.

After the two left, Tang Yumo saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so she reached out and patted the table vigorously.

All eyes were drawn to him, and he then said with a grin, "You were all discussing time machines just now, so it seems you want to research them."

"It's better for everyone to do research together than for one person to do it alone. What do you think?"

“If you agree, we will establish a dedicated department to conduct research.”

Everyone readily agreed.

However, it's impossible for so many people to all study time-related issues. So, a few elite individuals were selected to conduct practical research, while the others served as assistants.

If I have time, I can help out; if I don't, I'll just focus on doing my job well.

As everyone was discussing the matter, someone suddenly raised a question.

Will Su Chen agree?

They discussed it, but the establishment of a new department was still related to the time machine and required Su Chen's approval.

If Su Chen doesn't agree, no matter how well they negotiate, it will be useless.

Tang Yumo smiled and said, "Leave this to me."

Everyone nodded, feeling that Tang Yumo was definitely capable of completing the task.

This isn't something particularly difficult. Although Su Chen is against it, he probably won't stop everyone from researching it.

When Tang Yumo found Su Chen, Su Chen was chatting with Yuan Jingna.

Upon seeing Tang Yumo arrive, Su Chen said to Yuan Jingna, "See? He's definitely going to talk about the time machine."

Yuan Jingna stared at Tang Yumo with a hint of curiosity, thinking to herself: Could it be that he really came for this matter?

When he was talking to Su Chen just now, Su Chen concluded that Tang Yumo was definitely up to something again.

This ghost must be a time machine.

Tang Yumo sat down next to Su Chen with a smile and poured him a cup of tea.

"You're so smart, that's exactly why I came here."

"We've already discussed this with everyone, and we all think we should set up a department to study time. What do you think?"

"I think we really should have such a department; we can't fall behind others."

The Time Department was actually established a long time ago, but its research direction is different from what everyone else is researching now.

Although both studies focus on time, the departments before the time machine did not conduct any research.

I had considered this idea, but encountered numerous obstacles and eventually gave up, instead turning to study other time-related issues.

Su Chen was just talking about this with Yuan Jingna, but before they could discuss it in depth, Tang Yumo arrived.

Su Chen's original intention was to have Yuan Jingna reorganize the Time Department, have them revise their research plans, and ideally increase the number of people in the Time Department so that they could not only study the time machine but also other issues. Su Chen would also participate and provide some assistance.

Just as Su Chen was about to express his thoughts, Tang Yumo arrived.

When Tang Yumo offered her idea, Su Chen nodded slightly and said, "I think we can just use the existing time department. There's no need to create a new one; it would be a waste of resources."

"Invite some people who are willing to join in and let them do the research."

Tang Yumo was still a little reluctant; he actually wanted to separate the two research labs.

He wanted to set up a department dedicated to researching time machines, but Su Chen's ideas were clearly different from his.

Su Chen wanted them to study all the time-related projects.

Although the two had a disagreement on the stage, Tang Yumo did not explain it.

Tang Yumo nodded and did not refute Su Chen.

Su Chen saw through his thoughts and said to him very seriously, "I understand your thoughts, but it is not advisable to focus on just one project."

"Moreover, such projects cannot be successfully researched in a short period of time and need to be supported by other projects; otherwise, your department will be like an empty shell."

"It's fine for a short time, but it will inevitably be criticized if it lasts too long."

Tang Yumo nodded impatiently and waved her hand, signaling him to stop talking.

Subsequently, he organized people to begin rectifying the previous time department, compiling statistics, and held a brief meeting to inform them that the time department would be integrated.

No one had any objections. Although it was a rectification, it added a lot of capable and skilled personnel to the Time Department.

This is what they want to see.

This also has some benefits for the time management department.

Once the time department had agreed on the arrangements, Tang Yumo began selecting personnel to join.

After several days of screening, a number of experts with positive outcomes were finally selected.

Then they began their research. (End of Chapter)
