Chapter 44 Remarkable Strength
On a sweltering summer afternoon, the glass curtain wall of the Shanghai Tower reflected a blinding light.

Shen Huaizhou stood by the revolving door downstairs. He was wearing a delivery uniform, and the hot breeze blew the wisps of hair on his forehead, revealing his unusually calm eyes, which looked at people with a strong sense of detachment.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." The security guard had been watching him for 10 minutes. He hadn't intended to come over and chase him away because of the hot weather, but Shen Huaizhou had been standing there for too long, and if he didn't come out soon, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.

"Delivery personnel should enter from the side, not block the main entrance."

Shen Huaizhou didn't respond, but slowly unzipped his delivery uniform, revealing a simple dark gray shirt underneath. The crisp cut accentuated his physique.

He casually hung his takeout uniform on his wrist, and the sunlight fell on the lines of his neck, revealing the blue veins under his skin. It was a casual gesture, yet it inexplicably exuded an imposing aura.

His gaze fell on the security guard; he said nothing, yet it was as if he had already said everything.

The security guard opened his mouth, then closed it again. He turned around and muttered, "Why are you pretending you can't speak? If you don't want to deliver food, you don't have to. Can't you just talk?"

"Senior brother!" A sudden exclamation broke the silence. A figure rushed out of the building at great speed, almost colliding with the security guard.

"You've finally arrived! I was so worried!" The man's shirt was unbuttoned, making him look disheveled, and his hair was messy from running.

He ran up to Shen Huaizhou and asked, "Senior brother, why are you dressed like this?" His gaze fell on Shen Huaizhou's delivery uniform hanging on his arm.

"I delivered two orders along the way."

Lu Qing opened his mouth as if to speak, but then silently closed it again. He sighed resignedly and looked around.

"What are you looking for?" Shen Huaizhou's voice was soft, revealing no emotion. "Let's go."

"Senior, where's your electric scooter? You can't just park it here." Lu Qing was worried that his senior's delivery equipment would be gone once he finished his business.

Shen Huaizhou gritted his teeth. "Do you think I'm stupid? Would I ride an electric scooter all the way from Puxi to Pudong? Of course I parked the scooter at the subway station and took the subway."

He finished speaking in one breath.

Lu Qing was still a little unaccustomed to it. He walked up to Shen Huaizhou and pressed the elevator button. "Senior brother is so thoughtful. Senior brother is so smart. Why did you take the subway? You should have told me earlier and I would have sent a car to pick you up."

Shen Huaizhou stepped into the elevator. "I'd be grateful if you didn't call me."

"Hahaha." Lu Qing was a little embarrassed.

Once upstairs, Lu Qing led Shen Huaizhou directly into the company's office area.

"Bang!" The noise stopped the moment the door opened.

Several employees dressed in smart shirts and ties stopped what they were doing.

All eyes were on Shen Huaizhou, scrutinizing him from head to toe, finally settling on his delivery uniform.

"Mr. Lu, is this the person you're looking for?" A man in a striped polo shirt clasped his hands in a sarcastic tone. "We work on AI algorithms here. The robotics industry isn't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can do. Did you think we were here to fix electric bikes?"

"Chief Engineer, maybe they're here to deliver takeout."

Lu Qing straightened his back; now he had someone backing him up.

These guys, relying on their skills, are constantly going against him.

"Senior brother, there are too many flies and mosquitoes. I'll spray them with insecticide in a bit. We have a depth model here, but no matter how we adjust it, it's not working. I don't know if it's a parameter problem or something else wrong. The data it's generating is really outrageous."

Lu Qing quickly explained the situation to Shen Huaizhou.

This is the hardest customer to invite; we can't let him drive us away in anger.

Shen Huaizhou remained silent, his gaze cold and sharp. Guided by Lu Qing, he sat down at the control panel, his fingers slowly and methodically tapping on the keyboard. The chief engineer, who was originally in charge, looked grim. "President Lu, what do you mean by this? Don't forget, this project isn't something one person can decide on."

"What if he ruins all the effort we've put in for so long?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Huaizhou stopped what he was doing. "Which model does your optimizer use?"

"none of your business."

"Reduce the weight." Shen Huaizhou stood up, pressed Lu Qing back into his chair, and gave the order in a low voice.

Lu Qing quickly adjusted the parameters, and the moment the screen went dark, everyone held their breath.

On the big screen, after the progress bar finished, the error value decreased!
"How can this be?"

"This delivery guy is...unbelievable!"

Shen Huaizhou ignored him, got up, grabbed the delivery uniform that had been hanging on the back of the chair, and turned to leave.

"Senior brother, wait!" Lu Qing quickly chased after him, turning back as he left, "You guys keep tweaking it properly."

"Chief Engineer, who is that person?"

"So powerful!"

"I remember, Mr. Lu's senior brother was a very powerful figure, could it be..."

Shen Huaizhou, whose face was cold as he was stopped by Lu Qing at the elevator entrance, said, "I've already taken care of everything for you, what else do you want?"

"Senior brother, it's been so long since we've seen each other. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you come to my office for a cup of tea?"

"Instead of drinking tea, I'd better deliver two takeout orders." Shen Huaizhou's tone was cold, his words seeming to freeze people to death.

"Haha..." Lu Qing chuckled dryly, "Senior brother, please don't joke with me. You are our mentor, and the professor has always hoped that you can go back to continue your work."

His gaze fell on Shen Huaizhou's delivery uniform, and he finally couldn't hold back, "Can you stop delivering this thing? It's a waste of time and it's a waste of your money."

He spoke in a very low voice, not daring to look Shen Huaizhou in the eye.

Shen Huaizhou's brows twitched slightly. "Remember to transfer today's money to my account."

"I'll send a message to the finance department right now." Lu Qing acted quickly, afraid that she might upset Shen Huaizhou and then not be able to get him to come out next time.

"By the way, senior brother, I have some other things I'd like to trouble you with." Seeing that Shen Huaizhou didn't seem impatient, he boldly asked, "Why don't we continue our discussion in my office?"

Shen Huaizhou turned sideways and looked over silently.

Lu Qing clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Please! If I mess this up, it's all over, the entire project chain will collapse."

"I happen to have something to take care of..."

"One thing, ten things, a hundred things, I'll take care of them all," Lu Qing interrupted Shen Huaizhou, patting his chest to guarantee.

Seeing how cooperative he was, Shen Huaizhou raised an eyebrow, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This greatly excited Lu Qing.

My senior brother is praising me!
I must perform well in a little while!
Lu Qing didn't notice that the elevator buttons behind him were not lit up.
