Chapter 248 I believe foreigners will rush to send me money.
The morning training session passed quickly. Jiang Jing remained as calm and composed as ever, as if he had only done some light warm-up exercises.
Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong, however, felt exhausted both physically and mentally—not just physically tired, but also mentally drained.
They were crushed by this inhuman learning ability!
"You two captains have worked hard. See you this afternoon." Jiang Jing greeted them cheerfully before leaving the training room, evidently off to find his confidantes to enjoy lunch and some midday rest.
Inside the training room, only Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong were left, looking at each other in speechless silence.
After a long while, Lin Hong swallowed hard and spoke in a somewhat dry voice: "Sister Wanqin, did we… underestimate this freak?"
Zhou Wanqin's stunning face was also filled with bewilderment. She murmured, "It's more than just an underestimate. His learning ability is simply unfathomable. He learns it after one look, and can even surpass the master… This…"
Lin Hong leaned in closer, lowering her voice with a hint of worry and disbelief on her face: "At this rate, let alone half a month, I reckon in a few more days, all the secret skills we've been hoarding will be completely drained by him!"
"Sister Wanqin, are we… are we really going to lose that bet and be defeated by him in half a month?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanqin was silent for a moment before finally shaking her head with a bitter smile, her tone uncertain: "Winning… seems unlikely now. His rate of progress has completely defied common sense."
At the thought of the consequences of losing the bet, Lin Hong's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes flickering, and her voice dropped even lower: "Then tell me, what kind of request do you think he'll make when the time comes?"
"Do you think he'll make some outrageous request? Like… asking us to be his wives or something?"
Zhou Wanqin was caught between laughter and tears by her bold speculation and rolled her eyes at her: "What are you thinking! Who wins a bet and immediately asks someone to be their wife?"
"Besides, do you have so little confidence in us? Can our years of rigorous training really not compare to someone else's half a month?"
Although she said this, Zhou Wanqin's tone clearly lacked conviction.
Lin Hong's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly: "It's just that I see Jiang Jing is so lecherous, with so many women around him, I'm worried his appetite is too big~"
Zhou Wanqin sighed, her tone complex: "Given the value and potential Jiang Jing has shown, never mind a small flaw like being lecherous, even if he had many more demands, those big shots above, and even the top families, would probably fight to send their best daughters and granddaughters over for a marriage alliance."
"If he really made that kind of request to you, you should be secretly happy. There are countless people who couldn't even dream of such a thing."
Lin Hong's cheeks burned from what she said, and she spat lightly: "Bah! Who wants to be secretly happy… But, if that were really the case, those old folks behind us would probably be so happy they'd set off firecrackers to celebrate. We'd finally have this national treasure firmly tied to our own war chariot."
Zhou Wanqin nodded silently upon hearing this, her gaze somewhat distant, wondering what she was thinking about.
Lin Hong nudged her gently with her elbow, a teasing smile on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, seriously, Sister Wanqin, if… I mean, what if."
"Jiang Jing really wins, and then proposes that he wants us to be his girlfriends or something, what would you think?"
Zhou Wanqin was stunned by her question, and two blushes instantly flew across her stunning face.
She thought about it carefully, her eyes showing some struggle, and finally shook her head, though her tone was not as firm as before: "I don't know."
"He is indeed very outstanding, outstanding to the point of being unbelievable, but he is too much of a playboy, with too many women around him. I might not be able to accept such a relationship…"
Lin Hong stared at her flushed cheeks, chuckled, and teased: "Oh~ not able to accept it? Then why are you blushing?"
Zhou Wanqin was instantly mortified, glared at her in shame and anger, and made a gesture to hit her: "Get lost! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite to you!"
"Oh my, getting angry because you were called out!" Lin Hong laughed and dodged.
The two women immediately erupted into laughter in the training room, their crisp laughter temporarily dispelling the shock and anxiety in their hearts.
However, after the horseplay, when they each quieted down, the mysterious figure with a slightly wicked smile involuntarily appeared in their hearts.
What exactly would they think?
Perhaps even they themselves couldn't quite articulate or understand it at this moment.
The afternoon sun was just right. Jiang Jing lay lazily on a comfortable lounge chair, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Li Xue peeled a green grape and gently fed it to him, while Zhou Wenying fanned him gently from the side, and Qin Shuang and Li Ruonan were massaging his shoulders.
Jiang Jing couldn't help but exclaim—this is the life!
Just then, Zhou Wanqin walked over and said softly: "Mr. Jiang, Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu are here."
Jiang Jing opened his eyes upon hearing this, somewhat expecting it: "Please invite them over."
Soon, the two arrived and immediately saw Jiang Jing, who was surrounded by four beauties and looking incredibly comfortable. Their mouths twitched involuntarily.
This scene… was just too different from the traditional image of a genius scientist they had in their subconscious—the kind who buried themselves in the Laboratory, unkempt, and forgot to eat or sleep!
The person in front of them was truly a playboy who knew how to enjoy life and indulge in the lap of luxury.
Yet, it was this guy who seemed to be neglecting his duties whose casual creations could drive the country's top expert teams crazy and make the big shots hold overnight meetings to discuss them!
How infuriating is that…
Seeing that there was serious business to discuss, Li Xue and the others very obediently stopped their actions, nodded and smiled politely at the two leaders, and then quietly retreated, leaving the space for them.
Jiang Jing sat up and smiled, gesturing for the two to sit on the rattan chairs nearby: "Two leaders, we meet again so soon. How is it? Are the little toys to your liking?"
Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu exchanged bitter smiles.
Deputy Director Liu shook his head, his tone full of amazement: "How can the effect be described merely as satisfactory? It is extremely satisfactory!"
After the pleasantries, Deputy Director Liu took a USB drive out of his briefcase and handed it to Jiang Jing:
"This is the detailed list we have been able to compile so far of all military personnel, armed police, and public security officers disabled in the line of duty, along with the required parts and models of Prosthetic limb. The quantity… is indeed quite huge."
He paused, his tone becoming exceptionally serious: "The cost behind this is astronomical. Are you… really sure you want to provide them all for free?"
Jiang Jing took the USB drive, played with it casually in his hand, his tone indifferent yet extremely firm: "Of course I'm sure. I always keep my word. They have shed blood and sweat for this country; it is only right that I give them a chance to experience being a normal person. There is no need to mention costs."
He looked at the two and continued: "I will immediately arrange to expand the production line and prioritize these orders so that our brothers can use them as soon as possible."
Hearing such a definitive reply, Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu were filled with renewed respect, and their gaze towards Jiang Jing was full of genuine admiration.
"On behalf of all the comrades who are about to benefit, thank you!" The two said almost in unison, their tone sincere.
Jiang Jing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.
Immediately, he changed the subject, a smile like a sly fox appearing on his face:
"Of course, I have to make up for it somehow, right?" He winked.
"As for the beauty serum, I've already prepared a significant amount of stock. Soon, I will have Jiang Yan post information on the official website about international exports and the export prices."
He intentionally dragged out his tone and chuckled: "As for the price, it might be [a billion points] a little expensive, but I believe that for those international friends who love beauty, it will absolutely be worth the money!"
"I have absolutely no guilt about earning money from foreigners. I believe they will be very happy to rush to send me money."
