Chapter 16 - Contract with a King (1/2)

The next day in an undisclosed location, Ming Zhao met with his team of trusted researchers, engineers, and technicians.

”I presume you have good news for me?” Ming Zhao asked.

”Yes, boss.” Arnold replied.

Arnold was just a scientist researcher for Zhao company, but Ming Zhao specifically recruited him a long time ago to be his personal genius. He has been the head researcher for Ming Zhao's personal projects since then. Many of the workers here had been specifically chosen by Ming Zhao and their loyalty is to him only.

”How long will it take to have the correct machines made and proper tools to handle the energy source.”

”We already have the resources, we just need to make it. I would estimate 3-5 months.” The head engineer spoke.

”I want a workable prototype by Grandfather's birthday, that means you only have three months.”

”Yes boss!” Everyone replied. They hurriedly went back to their work stations and began the next step of the project.

Secretary Tim drove them back to the city. The weather was nice, but it looked like it was going to rain soon.

”When we get back, immediately start investing in Shen Industry. I will deal with my Father about the decision.” Ming Zhao instructed.

”Yes sir.”

Ming Zhao opened his phone and took out the pink business card. He could smell the sweet scent coming from it and he softly smiled. He was hesitant to decide if he should text or call her. In the end, he decided to call her. After 6 rings, she finally picked up.

”Who this?” Lena grumbly answered.

”Are you not awake?”

”Who this?”

”Miss. Shen… It is 3 pm in the afternoon. Are you still asleep?”
