Chapter 124: A Toad Wants To Eat Swan Meat
After inviting Huang Qian and Shi Xuan in, Quan Yuanwei gave the young woman a cold look and then closed the door.
Walking to the living room, Quan Yuanwei said, "Please have a seat."
After sitting in front of them, he asked, "This is the first time we have spoken. What can I do for you two?"
Shi Xuan asked, "Brother Quan, can you make a fishing machine?"
Quan Yuanwei was surprised that they came to ask this and nodded, "It is not difficult to make a fishing machine, but I don't have all the materials."
For Quan Yuanwei, a senior researcher at the Institute of Physics, building a fishing machine was easy. However, no matter how skilled he is, without materials, he can't make anything.
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said, "We can help you find the materials, but we don't know what you need or where to find it."
Hearing this, Quan Yuanwei's eyes lit up, and he said, "The Institute of Physics should have the materials, but I don't have a boat."
The material room is located on the 12th floor, but he is not sure whether it was flooded or had been looted by others.
The Institute of Physics is not far away. It is only eight kilometers from the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
After thinking about it, Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I can take you there."
When Quan Yuanwei heard that they were willing to send him to the Institute of Physics to find materials, he knew they were onto something big. They definitely won't just catch a few fish with this fishing machine after spending supplies, energy, and time to make it.
Considering his thin and malnourished grandparents, Quan Yuanwei decided to negotiate with Shi Xuan.
"If I build a fishing machine for you, can I go with you when you go fishing?"
His request was not excessive, and Shi Xuan did not refuse. He said, "Of course. However, the water is very deep. Are you sure your fishing machine can catch fish?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Quan Yuanwei said confidently, "As long as there are fish in the water, my fishing machine can float all of them up."
He only needs to adjust the ultrasonic frequency, which is very simple.
Since Quan Yuanwei said so, Shi Xuan nodded and reminded, "This matter must be kept secret. If anyone knows..."
Quan Yuanwei is not stupid. He knew that it was a crime to have wealth without the strength to guard it. If someone knew about this, the people on the 20th floor might be fine, but he and his grandparents would be in danger.
Quan Yuanwei nodded, "Don't worry. I won't say anything to outsiders."
Huang Qian asked, "How long will it take you to build the fishing machine?"
Making a fishing machine is not complicated. Quan Yuanwei did it before in high school.
He smiled and said, "As long as I have the materials, I can finish it within two hours."
The water level was rising every day, so they had better hurry up before the materials in the Institute of Physics were flooded.
Shi Xuan stood up and said, "Great. Then we will set off in five minutes."
Back on the 20th floor, Shi Xuan went to find Long Yu and Yao Ran. He told them the results of his visit to unit 1902 and said, "A Qian and I will go look for materials with Quan Yuanwei." Because the water towers needed to be installed today, Long Yu did not go with them.
When Yao Ran heard that he was going to the Institute of Physics, she thought maybe she could find something useful and said she wanted to go. Hearing this, Huang Qian then decided to stay and help Long Yu install the water towers.
Five minutes later, Shi Xuan and Yao Ran met Quan Yuanwei on the 13th floor. They moved quietly, but some residents still noticed them.
The young woman living in unit 1903 pouted after seeing Quan Yuanwei leaving with Shi Xuan and Yao Ran.
Her cousin looked at her expression and asked, "Do you know them?"
The young woman said aggrievedly, "Quan Yuanwei is my senior at the university, but we belong to different departments. Every time I like someone, he will intervene."
"This time, I fell in love with the man who lives on the 20th floor, but he also stepped in and told me to stop dreaming."
After saying this, the young woman looked at her cousin and asked, "Tell me, why does he always do this to me? I think I have never done anything bad to him."
When her cousin heard this, she chuckled and patted the young woman on the shoulder. She said, "That senior like you."
When the young woman heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds, then blushed and said shyly, "Impossible. He always looked at me with cold eyes."
The cousin smirked teasingly, "You don't believe me? Then you can ask him later. If he really likes you, then you don't have to worry about your future. He will be happy to feed you and spoil you."
The young woman thought for a while, and Long Yu's handsome face appeared in her mind. She sighed and said, "I still prefer the man on the 20th floor. He is so handsome and powerful. By following him, I will have food to eat and live happily in the future."
When her cousin heard this, she secretly rolled her eyes and thought, 'A toad wants to eat swan meat.'
Unaware that two women were discussing him, Quan Yuanwei was working hard under the heavy rain. With smooth hands that were never used for rough work, he held the oar and paddled with all his strength against the strong water current.
They rowed the inflatable boat out of the Ling Yuan apartment complex before Shi Xuan started the engine.
It took them about thirty minutes to arrive at the Institute of Physics. When they saw the broken windows, they knew the place had been ransacked.
