Chapter 713: 283 This is their era (second update)_1
Ning Xiao was still inside the laboratory and hadnât come out yet.
Bai Lian came out first with the experimental data. She had been reading a lot of papers on plasma-based new material preparation recently and shared several translated papers with Ning Xiao and Ding Wenyangâs team.
In the break room, Jiang Fulai saw her come in, looked up, the light reflecting off his glasses, âFinished?â
âNing Xiao is capturing the next set of data,â Bai Lian entered the break room and closed the door, âI heard that starting up the machine is very expensive?â
Academician Ma is the person with the most research funding in the circle, only second to Jiang Fulai.
The equipment that Bai Lian and Ning Xiao needed to start up had a five-figure startup cost, but Academician Ma didnât even blink, and the bill was sent directly to the Jiang Family.
Jiang Fulai leaned back, playing with her phone in his fingertips, and said nonchalantly, âItâs not expensive.â
Whenever he said it wasnât expensive, Bai Lian always had her doubts. Thatâs why Ning Xiao was planning to stay in the lab all weekend, working overnight to produce their data, hoping to get their experimental results in one machine startup.
Bai Lian was going to return to organize the afternoonâs data, along with addressing the issues raised by Ding Wenyangâs team.
Jiang Fulai packed up his computer and handed her back her phone, mentioning Xiaoqi, âHe just called. Should I have Ming Dongheng take care of it?â
For such a minor matter, Jiang Fulai was too lazy to bother.
Xiaoqi usually had his own ideas and wouldnât call Jiang Fulai unless it was out of the ordinary.
âWas Ren Wanxuan injured?â Bai Lian was surprised, as she packed up the data, âLetâs go have a look.â
Jiang Fulai gave her a glance, âA wrist injury, whatâs there worth seeingâŠâ
He had a dinner reservation with Bai Lian tonight, and after eating, they planned to attend the premiere of âBlossoms on the Tree.â
He indifferently grabbed his coat and scarf. Ming Dongheng was waiting outside, took the computer from Jiang Fulai, whose mood seemed quite good before coming here, but in just fifteen minutes, he was exuding a chill.
Ming Dongheng didnât dare look at Jiang Fulai and just followed the two men with his head down.
The snow outside had already melted but it was still very cold.
The car took to the main road, heading straight for Jiangjing Avenue, passing through Xingjiang District on the way to Yunxiao District.
Along the road, the red banners for the âInk and Ocean Quadrilateral Exchangeâ were occasionally visible, and when passing through the commercial district, the electronic screens on the mall buildings also displayed the âQuadrilateral Exchange.â
Today, Ming Dongheng was driving a business car, with Bai Lian sitting in the back with Jiang Fulai. She placed her computer on the table at the back of the car and opened the software to draw curve graphs.
Jiang Fulai sat next to her, his hand casually resting on the table, leaning slightly to watch her create the images.

Yunxiao District Hospital.
Ren Wanxuan was under observation in the hospital. The Dong Familyâs old master had been in the office talking to the chief physician the whole time and hadnât said much to Xiaoqi or Mao Kun, the younger kids.
After conversing with the chief physician, he stayed at the end of the corridor on the phone.
When the phone call ended, his expression was far from good.
Dong Chuan stood by his side and upon seeing him hang up, quickly asked, âHow did it go?â
âIâve reported to the chairman,â the old master Dongâs expression was poor, âThe exchange is next week; itâs not easy to find someone of the appropriate age in such a short time who can also stand the official scrutiny. Are you sure it was just an accident?â
Old master Dong narrowed his eyes, looking towards the two in the corridor.
Mao Kun was squatting in the corridor, engrossed in playing PopStar, while Xiaoqi stood next to him holding his coat, responding to messages.
Xiaoqi appeared rather refined, while Mao Kun simply looked like an unreliable youthful fellow.
This exchange was important as Ren Wanxuan represented the entire image of their region. It was hard for people not to suspect that someone deliberately caused trouble to disrupt the exchange.
âItâs not entirely their fault,â Dong Chuan spoke up, âA few people were drunk outside the bar. They were handling the situation when Wanxuan had an argument with Mr. Xiaoqi over a piece of paper and then someone else injured her wrist in the scuffle.â
âWhat paper?â old master Dong narrowed his eyes.
âIt seemed to be a drawing. She wanted to take it, and thatâs when her wrist was injured by a countermove,â Dong Chuan also found it strange, âI didnât get a clear look at it. Mr. Xiaoqi put it away.â
Old master Dong didnât ask further, it was Ren Wanxuan who had instigated the trouble first.
The two returned to Ren Wanxuanâs private hospital room, where the doctor was holding up an X-ray against the light.
In the hospital room, Ji Shaojun, Shen Qing, and the floor butler were present. With Ren Wanxuan being injured, naturally, the Ji Family had to be notified. With Ren Qian and Ji Shaorong not around, Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing had made their way here.
With such seriousness from the Dong Family, the two hurried over, only to find it was just a swollen, sprained wrist.
