43: Chapter 43 Genius Design

Even Wang Xiuming hadn't expected that these two would have such high talent for automobiles.

After all, the graduation rate at Aliside Academy didn't exceed thirty percent annually.

"Is this something you designed?"

Wang Xiuming's eyes lit up as he pointed to a huge design blueprint on the wall of the garage.

The design blueprint was plastered there like a poster.

It looked very new, likely due to being well-maintained.

Wang Xiuming had noticed this blueprint a long time ago; the design of this car simply delighted him.

Not only was the concept novel, but even the vehicle model had achieved a certain breakthrough.

It was a pity that it only contained the preliminary exterior design; the interior and various specifications were all missing.

Looking at it, it seemed to be a top-tier sports sedan.

Wang Xiuming was in high spirits and looked at An Ruoyun.

An Ruoyun's face turned even redder. She nodded and said softly, "This is a high-end vehicle model I designed, but we lack the resources, so it's hard to continue the design process."

Designing a car requires more than just the unbridled imagination of a designer.

It requires, even more, the support of realistic conditions.

Just like with An Ruoyun's design blueprint, she still needed to perfect the interior, as well as the vehicle's Power System, and so on.

For these, professional tools were a must.

Without the support of a car manufacturer, it was equivalent to a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water—an unattainable illusion.

Wang Xiuming was truly amazed. He could no longer hold back his thoughts and said, "Are you interested in joining Hongqi?"

"I can make you a real designer."

"Huh?"

An Ruoyun was a bit surprised. She tilted her head and pointed to herself.

"Me?"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiuming nodded affirmatively.

"I'd better not. I don't want my designs to be dictated by others."

An Ruoyun seemed to recall something, her eyes dimming again, and she said.

Working at a car manufacturer—it wasn't as if An Ruoyun hadn't had such thoughts before.

She had been to several car manufacturers.

But every single car manufacturer had its own style and path.

After they went in, the only result was being ostracized.

Moreover, due to a lack of seniority, they had absolutely no qualifications to participate in the design of new cars for the manufacturer.

Seniority was the greatest obstacle for a genius.

A genius could naturally use their talent to showcase everything.

Yet, they were trapped because of seniority.

It wasn't that An Ruoyun lacked ability or ideas.

But precisely because of these reasons, she could only remain obscure.

Therefore, she was ultimately desperate and could only follow Zhou Xiyue, modifying vehicles.

Thus, this design blueprint was hung on the wall.

Just as a memento.

"I won't place any restrictions on you. You can design a car entirely according to your own ideas—a car that truly belongs to you, a car truly created by yourself."

Wang Xiuming said, his expression sincere.

As a car designer, after entering this industry, wasn't the greatest dream to create a car of one's own?

Now, this could be the turning point of her life.

An Ruoyun was very moved; her eyes were watery.

She didn't know how many times she had dreamed of the car in this design blueprint.

Dreamed of successfully designing it and driving this car, roaming on the road.

However.

She still shook her head.

"Sister Xiyue has been taking care of me and helping me all these years. I cannot leave her now. I'm sorry, Mr. Wang."

During her most difficult time, the lowest point of her life, it was Zhou Xiyue who helped her and pulled her out.

She didn't want to leave Zhou Xiyue just like that.

This choice was very difficult, but she still made her decision.

Wang Xiuming was stunned; he hadn't expected An Ruoyun would make such a choice.

However, did that matter?

He had said, he wanted them all!

After thinking about it, Wang Xiuming said, "You can tell Zhou Xiyue that if she is willing, she can come to our Hongqi together with you."

"Here, you can design this car together."

"And even modify more unique vehicles."

An Ruoyun looked at Wang Xiuming's face and nodded.

Admittedly, she was very tempted and really wanted to go.

But what about Zhou Xiyue?

She didn't know, and she couldn't make this decision for Zhou Xiyue.

After Wang Xiuming finished speaking, he left with Li Yuan.

He believed that Zhou Xiyue would make the decision she ought to make.

"Xiyue, how did it go?"

A few hours later, Zhou Xiyue drove the xiaolong s21 back to the garage.

Zhou Xiyue's expression was somewhat unpleasant as she spat out two words, "A draw."

Originally, this race was a sure win, but the xiaolong s21's vehicle model had too many limitations.

Especially when turning; a slight carelessness would lead to a rollover.

This meant that she couldn't utilize the better performance of the xiaolong s21.

But the junlong 4 was different; it possessed better fluidity to begin with and had absolutely no problems in this regard.

After going back and forth, it ended in a draw.

This was what angered Zhou Xiyue the most.

If it weren't for the mountain road, she would have crushed this Junlong!

"It's okay, Sister. If we switched to another car, they wouldn't be our opponents at all."

Zhou Linyue also spoke up from the side to comfort her.

A draw wasn't too embarrassing.

After all, the Junlong was inherently better than the xiaolong s21.

"By the way, where is Mr. Wang? Did he leave?"

Zhou Xiyue suddenly noticed one figure missing in the garage and asked.

An Ruoyun nodded and said, "He just left, but before he left, he said a few things."

"What?"

"He said that if possible, he hopes we can join Hongqi."

"He will give us the greatest degree of freedom, allowing us to personally design this car—a car that belongs to us."

Zhou Xiyue looked up at the design blueprint.

This was An Ruoyun's dream, but wasn't it also hers?

Otherwise, why would she have chosen to go to Aliside Academy?

"A car... our car..."

Zhou Xiyue's heart trembled.

To be honest, she was tempted.

In many car manufacturers, there was simply no such opportunity.

But Hongqi was a Xia Country car manufacturer.

Who didn't know that Hongqi was the only remaining car manufacturer in Xia Country?

The only facade.

Did Hongqi really have the strength to let them design such a car?

Although Hongqi had a dongfeng 21a.

That kind of car could at most be considered an entry-level supercar.

It was too far off from the car they wanted to design.

Perhaps, Wang Xiuming was different?

Zhou Xiyue shook her head, clearing the thoughts from her mind.

"I'll consider this matter further."

"What if this guy is a liar?"

Zhou Xiyue still remembered the situations at several car manufacturers before.

They said all the right things before she went, but it was a different story after she arrived.

Outside the garage.

The roaring sound resonated through the sky.

Over a dozen supercars blocked the front of the garage.

Leading the way at the front was the junlong 4.

One figure after another stepped out of the cars.

At the very front was a man dressed in casual wear.

Liu Haokai.

"Trash Hongqi, if it wasn't for your modifications, did you really think you could manage a draw?"
