Chapter 104: Is There an End to It?
Zi Yi returned fully loaded with shopping and was in a great mood as she parked her car in the garage. Two of her housekeeping robots approached her.
Zi Yi motioned to them and said, “Bring in the bags inside the cars. They are all clothes and shoes.
“Yes, Master.”
The two housekeeping robots carried all the bags and headed inside.
Immediately after, a bodyguard robot came over.
Zi Yi asked, “Did any suspicious individuals come near the house today?”
“None. Only the people from the nearby residence walked past.”
Zi Yi nodded and went inside.
However, while she walked to the backyard gates, her phone suddenly rang.
Zi Yi answered the call.
The call was from Manager Chen.
Manager Chen’s tone was odd when he spoke. “Miss Zi, are you sure you want those racing cars’ spare parts that are on the list?”
Zi Yi responded with a hum and asked, “Is there a problem?”
“Engineer Tang from the racing car’s R&D called earlier to say that they are incapable of producing several parts you wanted with the current technology.
If you are available, you can make a trip down in person. Engineer Tang will hold a face-to-face conversation with you at that time.”
Currently, Zi Yi was waiting for these spare parts. In the end, she said, “I’m available right now.”
Manager Chen replied, “Ok, I’ll send you an address and a phone number shortly. You can directly contact them with that number.”
“Ok.”
After she hung up the call, Manager Chen sent over the address and Engineer Tang’s phone number.
The address was located at a famous high-tech park in the Capital, the Lu Group’s Racing R&D Center.
An hour pa.s.sed before Zi Yi finally arrived at the address.
When she called Engineer Tang’s number, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in blue overalls striding out of the research center.
When Engineer Tang saw Zi Yi, he was surprised. “You are the one who asked for those racing car parts?”
“That’s right.” Zi Yi nodded.
Engineer Tang found it hard to believe. “Where are your family members?”
Zi Yi was puzzled. “I want racing car parts. What does that have to do with my family?”
However, she soon guessed Engineer Tang’s suspicions. She said, “Rest a.s.sured. I was the one who wanted those parts. I want X alloy material for the wheels to reduce the heat generated by the racing cars during friction. The best alloy in the world is XX, but if it was heated in 0.01 seconds…”
With Zi Yi’s in-depth explanation, Engineer Tang’s att.i.tude changed. From the initial doubt and disbelief to a positive expression, and lastly, his face flushed from excitement.
After Zi Yi finished her explanation, Engineer Tang said in excitement, “Miss, let’s continue the conversation inside.”
Upon entering, Zi Yi stayed in the research center for more than four hours.
When she left, she was sent out by several engineers.
Engineer Tang said to her, “You can rest a.s.sured that we will produce those parts for you by working day and night for the next two days. If there are any points that require improvements, you must bring it up to us.”
“I understand,” Zi Yi responded, and said goodbye before she left.
The skies had already darkened when she left the facility.
When her car drove through the part of the neighborhood where the faculty and staff resided, she received a warning alarm from her bodyguard robot.
Zi Yi snorted coldly. “Is there an end to it? Do they honestly believe my place is somewhere they can come and go easily?”
She stepped on the gas pedal and headed home.
The moment her car reached the gates, it automatically opened. She parked the car and her phone suddenly rang.
At the same time, a gun was pressed against the gla.s.s of her car, which was right at her forehead.
