Chapter 1177: Chapter 676: Will Not Forget the Technology Task_2
No matter what, they would never regret it. And if they did regret it, they wouldnât keep talking about it here.
Besides, they were all grown adults who surely knew how to measure their actions, so there was no need for Old Liu to worry at all.
He really didnât know if Old Liu could stand to listen any longer.
If he couldnât, there would be nothing to be done.
After all, what had to be said had been spoken, and even what shouldnât have been said as well.
Old Liuâs expression darkened, his tone growing a bit heavier.
"What are you young fellows whining about here? I really donât want to listen any longer, nor do I want you all to waste so much time here."
"Your focus should not be on us but on researching technology. Youâve already wasted a lot of time here; are you planning to continue wasting it?"
"We really donât want you to scold us like this, even Liu Yue, knowing about this, wouldnât want you to continue this wastefulness. If this goes on, I may have to call Liu Yue over."
In the end, he still dragged Liu Yue into this.
It was the only option.
Other than involving Liu Yue, what other choice was there?
There was none.
Now it was a matter of what they would say.
But Old Liu noticed their expressions were extremely grave.
Yet they still didnât speak.
Old Liu took a deep breath and eventually spoke slowly.
"I canât make you stop talking, but surely Liu Yue can, right? After all, you are supposed to contribute to the country. If you dally here, how could Liu Yue just stand by and watch?"
"Maybe sheâd even urge you to get busy? After all, I know Liu Yue very well; when it comes to othersâ interests, she wouldnât feel comfortable troubling them."
"So, do you still want to continue this discussion? If so, then I really have to get Liu Yue involved. I canât not get Liu Yue involved now."
Now it was a matter of their mindset.
If things really didnât work out, he would just have to talk to Liu Yue.
After all, aside from talking to Liu Yue, there was really no other choice.
These young fellows were just too stubborn.
No matter what he said, they wouldnât leave.
The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
Then it was time to find Liu Yue.
Old Liu mused over this, his expression quite serious.
He did not seem to be joking.
Even if he wasnât joking, Qin Yuanâs face still showed no emotion.
He pursed his lips, finally speaking slowly.
"Old Liu, youâre not wrong. Liu Yue doesnât like to trouble others; she feels itâs not right to bother them. But weâre friends, not strangers."
"So even if you talk to Liu Yue, she wonât say anything. She would still encourage us to keep working hard, because we also promised her."
"Since we promised Liu Yue, we will do everything we can to succeed, and wonât give her any chance to be disappointed."
Trying to get Liu Yue to persuade them to leave?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
They would not be swayed.
How could they be so easily persuaded?
If they could be, they wouldnât still be here.
At that moment, Jiang Qi also showed a smile, his expression very serious as he spoke.
"Old Liu, we know youâre worried about us not completing the technology, but we wonât waste time on that. You just relax."
"Weâre very professional; how could we possibly waste research time? We are only using our spare time; this is that spare time."
"Moreover, even if you ask Liu Yue to come, it wonât change anything. Since weâve already stayed, we wonât make any other choices."
Their minds were made up.
Nothing Old Liu said could change that.
So they simply wouldnât leave.
What Old Liu would say next, they did not know.
Probably he was angry.
Wu Zeyuan stood to the side for a while, then spoke slowly as well.
"Old Liu, I share the same mentality as them, so what they say also represents what I say, but I still want to emphasize."
"If weâve decided to settle this matter, then we will follow through and not give up easily, so itâs useless for you to try to persuade us here."
"Besides, this matter is originally between Liu Yue and you. Even if you bring Liu Yue over, we would not be afraid."
Why were they afraid?
Liu Lao had said this to make them give up because it was too difficult, right?
How could they possibly give up?
Besides, this wasnât a hard task at all.
If Liu Yue came, perhaps it would make Liu Lao change even faster.
Maybe they would have to come up with some other means.
Wu Zeyuanâs eyes rolled a few times, but he stopped talking.
Liu Lao was really angered, not having expected that his method would be completely ineffective with them.
He had initially thought it would do some good, but now he truly regretted it.
So, what should they do next?
Did they really have to call Liu Yue over?
He actually didnât want to.
After all, if Liu Yue was called over, she would certainly confront him with harsh words.
She might even draw the surrounding people over.
The people nearby had just left, and if they were brought back, the shame would be unbearable for him.
After a moment, they showed extremely serious expressions on their faces.
Liu Yue was eating at that time, but their voices were so loud that she couldnât help overhearing their conversation.
She hadnât expected her father to say that.
It seemed she had to take action herself.
After all, this matter was originally her responsibility.
It couldnât be left to them to handle indefinitely.
She had to face it herself.
She couldnât keep letting others handle it.
She couldnât trouble others.
Moreover, they needed to get back to their scientific research.
The next second, Liu Yue stood up and approached Liu Lao with a very serious tone.
"Fine, since you said for me to come here, I have come now. Do you want to resolve this with me next?"
"If you want to solve this, letâs start now. I left initially because I knew you didnât want to solve it, so I walked away."
"Now that youâre saying you want to deal with me, how can I continue sitting there eating? Of course, I have to come right away; I hope you wonât go back on your word."
Liu Lao was indeed surprised.
He hadnât expected Liu Yue to have overheard.
He hadnât anticipated that Liu Yue would come over.
After all, she had just left to avoid the confrontation.
And now she was here.
What should he do?
Did he really have to admit he was wrong?
But he truly hadnât made any mistakes.
So there was absolutely no need for him to admit any wrongdoing.
The next second, Qin Yuan slightly curled his lips and spoke slowly.
"Liu Yue, you actually didnât need to come here. We can handle this matter ourselves. We still have methods to explore, itâs not that we are out of options."
"If we were out of options, we wouldnât still be standing here. We definitely have a way, so you go back to eating. Leave this matter to us."
"Since youâve entrusted us with this matter, we wonât let you down. We will indeed provide you with a satisfactory resolution, and weâre serious about this."
They really meant to give her a satisfactory resolution.
They werenât lying.
Since they had said it, they must be able to do it.
If they couldnât, they wouldnât have said so.
Although Liu Lao was very stubborn, they had plenty of methods yet to be used.
They had simply not resorted to them yet.
A moment later, Liu Yueâs brow furrowed slightly, and she immediately said,
"I know you all have my best interests at heart and truly want to free me from this oppression, to make me happy."
"But I really appreciate everything youâre doing for me here, and I canât bother you any longer. I need to find my own way out of this, so please go eat and then go home."
