Chapter 673 - 205: A Reward for You (Part 2)
Su Xiaocai had already seen it coming. Using Mecha just for developing new planets, war... that was way too high-end.For ordinary people, it should be practical.
Everything has two sides. Once the regular version sells well, rich people’s demand for the luxury version will naturally drop, because they don’t actually need Black Wing. They buy it just to show off; if everyone has one, there’s nothing left to show off with.
Just when everyone thought that with regular Black Wing selling like crazy, the luxury version’s sales would definitely take a hit—
Something interesting hit the news.
A rich guy bought a luxury Black Wing, and ran into an accident mid-flight. Someone’s vehicle went out of control and came barreling straight at him, and just as it was about to crash into the Black Wing—
Black Wing’s master-protection function kicked in. It transformed on its own, shifted into Mecha mode, dodged all danger, and moved away from the hazardous area.
If it’s in a busy downtown area, it can also determine that the place isn’t suitable for transforming, and will automatically strengthen its shield instead.
The master-protection function of the luxury Mecha had been mentioned by Zu Yang in the promos, but very few people paid attention, assuming it was just the same old safety feature as usual.
But Black Wing can actually execute emergency evasive maneuvers. If it runs into a Star Thief, it can even help you escape.
That’s right, escape. The owner isn’t a Mecha Master, so fighting is not on the menu. Excellent defense and escape capacity reignited the rich folks’ buying frenzy.
This news was pure, organic word-of-mouth; Zu Yang just gave it a little traffic boost.
Reality proved that Su Xiaocai really did have a bit of metaphysical luck about her.
...
A few days later, she finished the paper on sensitive fruit and brought it to school to have Professor Li check if there were any issues.
While she was there, she also went by to give some guidance on the math-and-physics teacher’s project, and signed the contract to join the experiment.
Because she wasn’t sure if there were any traps in the contract and was afraid she’d accidentally sign a slave deed, she called Fei Yi along.
Fei Yi came over with a backpack on her shoulders, not even having time to change out of her high heels.
She’d just attended a small internal gathering at the law firm.
She rushed over before two in the afternoon to help Su Xiaocai pick up her patent certificates.
Su Xiaocai had a whole batch of patent applications approved afterward, and Fei Yi had almost dropped dead from exhaustion.
Arriving at the Extraordinary Island project, she immediately switched into comfortable shoes, and changed her gathering outfit into a T-shirt and sweatpants.
"Didn’t the firm give you a Space Button? Why are you still using a backpack?"
"Don’t even mention it. The firm recently took in a few hotshot lawyers. One of them said before joining that he already had a Space Button and didn’t need the firm to provide one. Then after signing, he saw another lawyer got an expensive one, and immediately turned around and demanded a Space Button too. You know how sharp a lawyer’s tongue is. The boss said he’d give him one later, and he started yelling that I’d just gotten certified and already had a Space Button, so why couldn’t he get one."
"So you let him have yours?"
"Nope. I took everything out of my Space Button right in front of him, handed it back to the boss, and said he could assign this Space Button to anyone he liked, give it to that Lawyer Wei, I quit."
The allocation rights went back to the boss; it had nothing to do with Fei Yi anymore.
But giving it to this new Lawyer Wei? Dream on.
Fei Yi was in charge of all of Su Xiaocai’s matters; she was the main money-maker of the whole firm, had a good temper, worked efficiently, and never threw her weight around just because she had Su Xiaocai behind her.
Zhang Rui Kai could fire that loudmouth lawyer, but there was no way he’d fire Fei Yi.
But the guy was invited in by Zhang Ruikai himself. If he fired him the moment he arrived, wouldn’t that make Zhang Ruikai’s judgment look terrible?
Good thing the contract was only for one year.
Every industry has its weirdos, and the legal profession sees them relatively less often, since they live on their eloquence and usually know how to handle relationships.
"Why would he pull something like that? He doesn’t know your status at the firm?"
"Maybe it’s exactly because he knows that he wants to use me as a stepping stone to establish his authority. Some people just like to do that." Fei Yi felt the guy was pure jealousy. "Because of you, no one at the firm dares make snide, passive-aggressive comments at me anymore. They don’t even dare badmouth me behind my back. But you know how our lawyers talk—when you first started rising up, they stabbed me with their words so much I almost died of anger. This newcomer, riding on his record of past wins, came to provoke me and wanted to show off through me."
The newcomer didn’t really understand Fei Yi’s position at the firm. Seeing that she had no famous war records, he figured she’d probably gotten in through Su Xiaocai’s back door, so he looked down on her.
After Fei Yi tossed the Space Button back to the boss, she’d successfully diverted part of the aggro, and completely blocked that lawyer out. No matter what kind of big shot or freak he thought he was, he no longer had any right to point fingers at her.
"Hahaha, you’re really not afraid of offending your other colleagues?"
"Not afraid, I’ve got you." Fei Yi mentally cast herself as a hardworking little draft animal.
