Chapter 16: Contract with a King

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.

"We don't have the proper machines to fully confirm the theory but with the technology we currently have, we were able to replicate it on a small scale."

"It is true that with the mineral and with the correct equation inputted, the energy source is almost as equivalent to nuclear energy."

"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?"

"YAH! I asked who is this not what time it is. I am hanging up." And she hung up.

Ming Zhao chuckled and called her one for time. Secretary Tim had not seen Ming Zhao so cheerful since his bastard brother appeared. Lena picked up after the first ring.

"It's Ming Zhao." Ming Zhao spoke quickly before Lena hung up again.

"Ohh…. This must be about yesterday? Did I get it right?"

"You did. I will pull in investments by tomorrow."

"Mhm. Can I go back to sleep now?"

Ming Zhao sighed. "Yeah."

She hung up again after the quick reply. Where was the strong businesswoman attitude from her yesterday?

Lena had not had much sleep the last few nights. She has only been here for a few days and her body and soul are both equally exhausted.

She cheated the system… and this was probably god's reason to punish her this morning.

How did she know the answer to Project Crystal?

Well, she used a piece of information that she knew from the other world. She was neither a scientist in both worlds, but she came across this solution before. The concept looked very familiar to her when she was skimming through the information on the Zhao family.

It was a project that Senior Han worked on. On a few occasions, she helped him out on a few project presentations.

Lena never paid much attention to the details of the project but she got the general idea of it. When she skimmed across the reports, she knew that this report was talking about the project Senior Han was working on.

In the other world, such a solution already existed but in this world, it did not. Lena wondered what other things are like this? However, she knew that sometimes, you should not interfere with how things are.

Lena was lucky to have come across this information… or else she would have to resort to dirtier methods. She did not want to bring up the original Lena's evil heart.

However, Ming Zhao was only her insurance card. She still needed to hit the real King.
