"Yaoyao, where does it hurt? Let me see." Rong Yu took her hand with concern and looked at it, his eyes full of heartache. "It's all red."

After saying that, he lowered his head and blew on it.

Qi Shenyuan's eyes were venomous as he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't hit women, but the Tong family probably can't afford the price for this slap."

"Really?" Xi Yao wasn't afraid at all.

If all else fails, she might really resort to killing.

"Chairman!"

Secretary Li rushed in, looking anxious, but hesitated to speak.

Tong Dahai snapped out of his daze, no longer caring about Xi Yao's sudden attack; he now had a bad feeling.

But Qi Shenyuan suddenly laughed, "Secretary Li, tell me, let me hear if it's good news."

Secretary Li didn't dare to speak, but Tong Dahai had already guessed what was going on.

He closed his eyes briefly, looking somewhat dejected, but still calmly said, "Speak."

Secretary Li looked around at everyone present and said helplessly, "We received news that the medicinal herbs on our cargo ship failed inspection and are not allowed to enter the country."

Furthermore, our application for route permits last month was also rejected. Three routes will be unusable in five months.

After Secretary Li finished speaking, the office became even quieter.

Tong Dahai placed his hands on the table and remained silent for a long time.

He had long understood that no matter how rich the Tong family was, they were ultimately powerless under such circumstances.

Some things can't be solved with money.

"Hahaha." Qi Shenyuan suddenly burst into laughter, his face, bearing the handprint, brimming with arrogance. "Uncle, how was it?"

He then turned to Xi Yao, "Can you afford the consequences of this slap?"

Xi Yao gritted her teeth. This guy was too despicable; she wanted to kill him.

But even if they were killed, the Tong family's current predicament would not be resolved.

She can't possibly kill everyone, can she?

Those people are moving way too slowly.

Just as Xi Yao was pondering a solution, 996 suddenly exclaimed happily:

[Host, the people from above are here!]

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose at the office door, along with steady footsteps—more than one.

"Chairman, they're here to see Miss."

The person who greeted us pushed open the door and said somewhat reservedly.

He was followed by five or six people standing at the door.

These people were clearly not ordinary based on their clothes and demeanor, so he didn't dare to stop them and could only bring them up with him.

If I'm not mistaken, those uniformed men behind me have guns on their waists.

Guns? In Xia Country, those who carry guns are people you don't usually see.

"You must be Tong Xiyao?"

The old man at the head of the group had gray hair and prominent wrinkles on his face.

He walked up to Xi Yao with great excitement, his eyes shining behind his glasses.

"Yao Yao".

Rong Yu instinctively stepped in front of Xi Yao.

He sensed that the men dressed in black had a powerful aura.

"It's alright, Rong Yu."

Xi Yao patted him on the shoulder and stepped out from the side. "I'm Tong Xi Yao, and you are?"

"What do you want with my daughter?"

Even Tong Dahai, who had seen a lot in life, felt a chill run down his spine and immediately came over to stand beside Xi Yao, wanting to protect his daughter.

"Don't be nervous." Cao Ruisheng smiled. "I'm Cao Ruisheng from the Intelligent Machinery Research Institute. We saw and confirmed the emails you sent earlier. Did you write all of those things yourself?"

Cao Ruisheng?

Qi Shenyuan's eyes widened suddenly.

That's one of the top academicians in the Xia Kingdom.

Over the years, how many heavy weapons of the Xia Kingdom were manufactured under his control?

"Hello, Academician Cao, I am a member of the Qi family." Qi Shenyuan immediately stood up and came over to greet him warmly. "My grandfather is Qi Zhongguo. He often mentioned you, and I have admired you since I was a child."

There was no other way; Cao Ruisheng had a special status and was a key talent protected by the state. Even his grandfather, who held a high position, might not be able to meet him.

No wonder he's surrounded by people with nuclear weapons and live ammunition.

Besides the few who followed, there are probably many more below.

What Qi Shenyuan couldn't understand was why Cao Ruisheng would appear in the Tong Group.

Cao Ruisheng glanced at the young man who had come closer, nodded perfunctorily, and then looked at Xi Yao again with a smile in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to talk to you about something, don't be nervous."

He thought that the scene had frightened Xi Yao, which was why she hadn't spoken for a while.

Sigh, Cao Ruisheng is always followed by a group of people whenever he goes out, which is quite frustrating.

Xi Yao smiled and said, "Hello Academician Cao, I am Tong Xi Yao. I sent that email. I just saw that your mecha was too cumbersome, so I couldn't help but write down a small suggestion. I hope it didn't bother you."

"No, no, your suggestions are fantastic!" Cao Ruisheng's voice was excited. "Can you really bring your mecha design concept to life? Are the materials you mentioned even feasible to manufacture?"

The email mentioned a lot of materials, but didn't include experimental data or production methods.

If it can actually be made, it will be another materials revolution.

"That's certainly possible." Xi Yao glanced around. "Academician Cao, this isn't the place to talk. Why don't we go to my house? I've made a little thing, and I hope you can take a look."

"Oh right, I got too excited. This place really isn't suitable." Cao Ruisheng patted his forehead. "If it's not a bother, then let's go to Xiaoxi's place. Is it okay if I call you that?"

Xi Yao nodded, "Okay, shall we go then?"

"Okay, okay."

A group of people walked out, leaving only a dumbfounded Tong Dahai and Secretary Li in the office.

There was also Qi Shenyuan, whose face turned ashen but dared not retaliate.

He didn't say anything and hurriedly left as well.

We need to figure out why someone like Cao Ruisheng would suddenly approach Tong Xiyao and be so nice to her.

Also, what exactly is going on with the materials and mechs they mentioned?

Qi Shenyuan's face was gloomy. If the Tong family got involved with Cao Ruisheng, not only would their plan fall through, but the Qi family would also likely be in big trouble.

Tong Dahai also came to his senses after Qi Shenyuan left.

"Secretary Li, please handle the group's affairs first. You don't need to worry about those two things you just mentioned for now. We'll talk about them when I get back."

After giving his instructions, he left in a hurry.

the other side.

Xi Yao got into Cao Ruisheng's car and, escorted by several other cars, returned to the villa.

In the basement.

Cao Ruisheng stared wide-eyed at the small mecha in front of him, which was as tall as a person.

"This...this..." His lips trembled, his finger shaking as he pointed at the mecha, "You made this? Did you use those new materials you mentioned?"

"Yes." Xi Yao nodded, took two steps forward, and opened the basement door. "Number 1, start."

"drop--"

The mech's eyes flashed red, and a mechanical voice replied, "Number 1 is activated. What are your orders, Master?"

"Exit the cabin and fly around the villa once, keeping the altitude between 20 and 30 meters."

"Received on the 1st."

Its feet switched to wheels, it glided out of the basement door, and flew into the sky the instant it left the door.
