Chapter 1110 Eager to Try
At a critical moment, Meng Yulan suddenly felt unable to take another step, and Wei Yidong seized the opportunity to distance himself from Meng Yulan by two meters.
Meng Yulan was stunned at first, then turned her head and saw a smiling face glaring at her. This person was naturally Chen Xuan!
"Who are you?"
Meng Yulan was greatly alarmed because she discovered that her legs were no longer touching the ground.
Did this guy have such great strength with just one arm?
"You don't need to worry about who I am. Now, get out immediately." Chen Xuan shouted.
"You want me to get out? Who do you think you are? I'm telling you, if you dare to touch me, I'll report you to the authorities right now!"
Meng Yulan was truly shameless. She had already scratched Wei Yidong's face to the point of disfigurement, yet she still had the audacity to report him to the authorities. Wasn't that guilt-ridden?
Chen Xuan withdrew his hand. He naturally wasn't afraid of Meng Yulan reporting him. He estimated that the police would probably be his subordinates and wouldn't dare to get involved in this matter.
He pointed at Wei Yidong, whose face was about to be disfigured, and said lightly, "If you want to report me, that's great. You've almost disfigured Wei Yidong. If you report me, when the police arrive, they can handle this matter."
"You have already caused personal injury to Wei Yidong. If the police come, you will not only have to pay money, but you will also be arrested and sent to jail to eat prison food."
Although Meng Yulan was fierce and appeared fearless, she was merely putting on a brave front.
Moreover, in modern society, even though Meng Yulan was just a rural woman, she understood the law. She knew that if the police came and dealt with her for this matter, she would suffer a great loss.
At this thought, Meng Yulan's arrogant demeanor immediately vanished.
She struggled and broke free from Chen Xuan's grasp, saying, "Hmph, I won't stoop to your level."
With that, Meng Yulan turned to leave. She knew she couldn't get the money today and would have to find another way.
Chen Xuan naturally didn't stop Meng Yulan. It was better to avoid women like her.
As she reached the door, Meng Yulan suddenly stopped, glanced at Wei Yidong, and a malicious glint flashed in her eyes: "Wei Yidong, I'll be back!"
Wei Yidong looked helpless.
"Clap clap clap..."
After Meng Yulan left, the surrounding onlookers glanced at Chen Xuan and all applauded him. "This young man is indeed brave and righteous!"
Beside him, Mu Xuelian stared at Chen Xuan with her starry eyes, which sparkled.
In her eyes, Chen Xuan seemed to be adorned with a halo, shining so brilliantly.
The matter was resolved, and the onlookers dispersed. Wei Yidong, somewhat embarrassed, walked over, adjusted his black glasses frame, extended his hand, and said gratefully, "Sir, thank you!"
"You're welcome, it was just a small favor." Chen Xuan smiled casually.
Wei Yidong was quite polite and quickly invited Chen Xuan and Mu Xuelian to sit. Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and lounged on the sofa. Wei Yidong poured Chen Xuan a glass of pure water. Seeming to think the hospitality was lacking, he explained, "I don't usually drink tea; I don't have any tea leaves..."
"It's fine, plain water is good."
Chen Xuan looked at Wei Yidong. It seemed that Wei Yidong was as honest and simple as the rumors suggested.
Wei Yidong glanced at Mu Xuelian, then said to Chen Xuan, "My student is probably here to ask me questions. I'll help him answer his questions first..."
Saying this, Wei Yidong turned and walked to Mu Xuelian.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. Wei Yidong was indeed a bookworm and didn't quite understand etiquette, but Chen Xuan didn't mind. He found Wei Yidong genuine and natural.
Wei Yidong looked at Mu Xuelian and asked, "Student Mu, do you have any questions for me?"
Mu Xuelian glanced at Chen Xuan, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile, "Teacher Wei, I'm actually not here to ask you questions. It's Mr. Chen who has something to ask you, but he didn't know where you lived, so I brought him here."
Wei Yidong suddenly understood.
No wonder Mu Xuelian hadn't brought any books or pens. He had found it strange at first, but now it made sense.
Mu Xuelian quickly said, "Teacher Wei, Mr. Chen is a very good person. He has questions for you. If you can help, please do help Mr. Chen."
Wei Yidong nodded and looked at Chen Xuan, "May I ask what Mr. Chen needs my help with?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Mu Xuelian and didn't treat her as an outsider. He believed that Mu Xuelian wouldn't easily reveal this matter.
He said, "Our new lithography machine is only one step away from completion, but we've encountered a problem. We need your help to solve this problem. Once this problem is solved, our new lithography machine can be successfully developed."
New lithography machine...
Mu Xuelian's beautiful eyes widened instantly. She had naturally heard of the new lithography machine. The United States' blockade of China's lithography machines had already caused a huge stir. She never expected Chen Xuan to approach Wei Yidong to solve such a high-tech problem.
Developing a lithography machine was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Many people had chosen to withdraw. She didn't expect Chen Xuan to be involved in lithography machine research. Chen Xuan's patriotic halo grew, and his image in Mu Xuelian's heart rose another level.
Wei Yidong suddenly looked at Chen Xuan, his voice trembling with excitement, "New lithography machine? Are you really developing a new lithography machine?"
Clearly, Wei Yidong had also heard of the new lithography machine.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "It's not me researching, it's Professor Long."
Wei Yidong had also heard of Professor Long's great reputation. He nodded and said impatiently, "Then let's go quickly!"
Chen Xuan looked at the excited Wei Yidong and was taken aback.
He had expected to have to persuade Wei Yidong and had prepared some arguments, but he hadn't expected Wei Yidong to agree so readily!
From his demeanor, it seemed he was even more excited than Chen Xuan, which was truly baffling!
In fact, as a mathematician, Wei Yidong naturally supported the country's scientific and technological endeavors and was willing to contribute his share.
Furthermore, Wei Yidong rarely encountered problems he couldn't solve. The new lithography machine would definitely present him with a great challenge, and he was eager to try.
"In that case, let's set off immediately!"
With that, Chen Xuan also quickly stood up. Although Wei Yidong was very capable, the problem with the lithography machine was not that simple, and time was of the essence.
"Okay!"
Wei Yidong also hurried to stand up. After taking a couple of steps, Wei Yidong suddenly remembered something and said, "I'll prepare some toiletries and a change of clothes."
He then went into the bedroom, quickly prepared his things, and a moment later came out with a backpack.
Thus, Chen Xuan and the group went downstairs.
As soon as they got downstairs and had walked only a few steps, Chen Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stopped, raising his hand. "Wait!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen?"
Mu Xuelian couldn't help but ask.
Wei Yidong also frowned, showing a suspicious expression.
Chen Xuan's cold gaze swept across the nearby bushes. "There's someone..."
