Chapter 130. Fourth Princess: Six of them! Oh, my head... "Second Sister, I heard you've been learning Chinese medicine from Eighth Brother lately. Is it going well?"
Amiya handed her suitcase to the servant and greeted An Lingran.
Under the night sky, An Lingran feigned calmness and said, "It's fine. Did your case go smoothly?"
This single sentence made Amiya suspicious. An Lingranusually immersed herself in her medical world and ignored the outside world, yet now she was asking about the case—clearly a diversion to hide something.
"Quite smoothly." Amiya stepped forward and observed her closely. Hmm... stiff limbs... hidden unease in her eyes... not her usual state... Damn! Gu Yunfan, you lecher! Cheating on me again! I knew Second Sister would eventually be ruined by you! I just didn't expect it to be so soon!
"Fourth Sister, Our Mother and Eighth Brother are in the kitchen. I'm a bit tired, so I won't keep you company. Goodnight."
An Lingran felt uneasy under Amiya's gaze. She didn't dare stay longer and turned to enter the East Wing Room.
Amiya suppressed her anger and went to the kitchen to find Gu Yunfan. Gu Yunfan was teaching Godmother how to make hot dry noodles by hand. With her mother there, Amiya couldn't speak her mind and only exchanged some pleasantries.
Zhao Siqing continued jumping rope, but the aroma of the hot dry noodles drifting into the courtyard broke her rhythm.
Don't eat... I won't eat even if it kills me... Whoever eats is a pig... Zhao Siqing went to the kitchen and said with a grin, "Eighth Brother, make a bowl for me too~"
"Didn't you say you weren't eating?"
"I'll just have a taste~"
"Then I'll only cook one noodle for you?"
"I'll kill you! Hurry up and cook the noodles for me!"
Zhao Siqing grumbled, "You're just a stumbling block on my weight loss journey!"
Amiya smiled, "Fifth Sister is so slender, does she really need to lose weight?"
"As a public figure, I have no choice~"
Zhao Siqing was a social butterfly and had good relations with all her sisters. She used to enjoy hanging out with Fourth Sister, but ever since Fourth Sister stopped her from dating Gu Yunfan, she rarely interacted with her, greeting her only briefly when they met.
Not long after, Eldest Sister returned with Seventh Princess. Gu Yunfan made noodles for them as well. After the late-night snack, Amiya called Gu Yunfan to the West Wing Room, claiming she needed help with a case. Jiang Yujun and the other sisters went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Speak! Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!" Amiya got straight to the point.
Gu Yunfan didn't beat around the bush and immediately spilled the beans: "Milady! I have a grievance as high as the heavens to report. I hope you will seek justice for this humble citizen!"
"Ah, enough, stop being dramatic and tell me properly!"
Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision to check behind him, making sure no one was eavesdropping. He turned around and said, "These past few days, I've been teaching Second Sister medical skills. As I taught her, she started having ulterior motives. Today was the last session of the Chinese Therapeutic Massage class. When it ended, she suddenly confessed her feelings to me. I rejected her right then and there and explained that Fourth Sister had warned me. Before I could finish, she pounced on me like a hungry wolf. I pushed her away and tried to explain again, but she didn't give me a chance at all..."
"Hmph! You two really did end up together!"
Amiya felt dizzy listening to this: "Gu Yunfan, you scoundrel! What did you promise me the day you returned from Island City?! Have you forgotten already?!"
"I haven't forgotten. I promised you that Third Sister would be the last one, and I wouldn't have feelings for other women. Even if someone else took the initiative, I would remain unmoved and strictly refuse. If they used force, I would resist strongly, and if they persisted, I would ask you for help."
"Well said! So what did you do?! Did you strongly resist Second Sister?! Did you ask me for help?!"
"You don't know the situation at the time. Using your name didn't work; Second Sister doesn't care about you. I resisted twice, and she suddenly grabbed a scalpel and threatened me, claiming that if I dared to resist again, she'd perform a craniotomy on me. As the saying goes, quiet people do the most ruthless things. Second Sister is usually quiet and sensitive; she's the one you least want to provoke. If I were killed by her, wouldn't you cry your eyes out? For your sake, I had no choice but to endure the humiliation and submit to her..."
"Hmph! Hmph hmph! Gu Yunfan, oh Gu Yunfan, you're so good at making things up, you should go write novels on Fanqie!"
"I swear on Jesus's grandmother's life that everything I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, go ask Second Sister."
"I will go ask her!"
Amiya knew Gu Yunfan was exaggerating, but it was likely close to the truth. In fact, she had long noticed Second Sister's feelings for Gu Yunfan. Especially during their time in Island City, after Gu Yunfan saved Third Princess with his God-level Medical Skills, the way Second Sister looked at him had clearly changed.
Sigh!
Six of them!
Oh, my head... The situation is getting more and more complicated... How am I supposed to solve this??
I don't have the ability!!
This is damn harder than solving ten major cases!!
Amiya's head was buzzing with anger. She really wanted to give Gu Yunfan a beating, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. On one hand, she believed Gu Yunfan hadn't taken the initiative, so the main responsibility wasn't his. On the other hand, she was afraid a commotion would draw the family's attention.
"Milady, what should I do?" Gu Yunfan said with a sincere face. "After being defiled by Second Sister, I ran away in a panic. She even said I need to give her an explanation. She wants to possess me long-term."
"Stop acting innocent in front of me. Second Sister is also a top-tier beauty, hailed as a genius goddess doctor. Do you dare say you don't like her?"
"To be honest, I have no interest in women. My biological mother taught me from a young age to be a noble person, a person free from low-level tastes, a person beneficial to society and the country..."
"Stop! Have you no shame? You were like a madman when you slept with me. Why didn't you say these things then?"
Amiya rubbed her temples: "Gu Yunfan, tell me the truth. Is your next step to go after Eldest Sister? You won't be satisfied until you've taken all seven of us sisters, will you?"
"I'm being framed! I was really forced. As a police officer, how can you just slander someone like that? I told you last time, I don't want this either, but it's impossible to guard against. What would you do if you were in my shoes?"
Amiya fell silent. Ultimately, it was because Gu Yunfanwas too strong; no one could resist his charm.
There was one thing Gu Yunfan did that satisfied her: he was brave enough to admit what he did and didn't hide it from her. He wasn't as honest with the other sisters, which gave her a sense of superiority.
"Does Second Sister know about us?" Amiya asked, feeling uneasy.
Gu Yunfan said solemnly, "She knows. She said she wants to challenge you to a duel, dissect you, and turn you into a human specimen."
"Tch, full of nonsense."
As they talked, Amiya's anger actually dissipated. Faced with such a complex situation, she felt a sense of powerlessness.
Thinking carefully, perhaps only their mother, who was as strong as an Empress, had the ability to solve such a massive mess. But she strictly forbade her daughters from dating Gu Yunfan, so they couldn't count on her to solve it. It had become an unsolvable deadlock.
Chapter 131: The first time I saw you, I even thought of our child's name~
The next day, early morning.
Gu Yunfan was woken up by Fifth Sister Zhao Siqing to go for a run.
"Eh? Weren't you going to run to lose weight? Why did you bring me to the garage?"
"As long as it's exercise, you can lose weight. And exercise isn't just running, right?" Zhao Siqing winked.
Gu Yunfan scoffed, "Scum girl~"
"I'll kill you!" Zhao Siqing punched him and took him to her car, which she habitually parked in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.
Zhao Siqing pushed him into the back seat and asked about last night, "Did Fourth Sister really call you to her room last night to help solve a case?"
"Otherwise?"
"You stayed in Fourth Sister's room for quite a long time. I even fell asleep and you still hadn't come out. What were you two doing? You didn't get together with Fourth Sisterbehind my back, did you?"
Zhao Siqing wasn't certain; she was just testing him.
Gu Yunfan naturally knew Fifth Sister was just asking casually.
And he replied just as casually, "It's fine if you say that in front of me, but if Fourth Sister heard it, she'd scold you to death. As a police officer of the people, her heart only has the country and the people. Do you think she's like you? Thinking about how to mess with me every day?"
"Haha~" Zhao Siqing had a carefree personality and didn't have the strong observation skills or intuition of Third Sister or Fourth Sister. Seeing that Gu Yunfan didn't admit it, she stopped prying.
She had been incredibly busy during the Spring Festival and hadn't had a chance for deep interaction with Gu Yunfan. Without further ado, she hugged Gu Yunfan and started with some 'oral health exercises'... An hour later, the two of them took the Back Garden elevator up and jogged back to the courtyard.
"Morning, Second Sister. Going to work?" Zhao Siqinggreeted An Lingran.
"Mhm." An Lingran glanced at Gu Yunfan, her heart full of things she wanted to talk to him about.
Gu Yunfan saw it too and found an excuse to send Zhao Siqing away, "Fifth Sister, you go back first. I'm going to talk to Second Sister about the upcoming TCM course schedule."
"Alright~" Zhao Siqing was a bit tired and planned to go back for a nap. She didn't suspect Second Sister and Gu Yunfan at all. In her mind, Second Sister was an abstinent woman who had zero interest in affairs between men and women.
Watching Zhao Siqing return to the West Wing Room, Gu Yunfan said seriously, "Student An Lingran, I told you last night to consolidate the knowledge points the teacher taught you yesterday afternoon. Did you consolidate them?"
"You..."
An Lingran immediately grew nervous. Using her peripheral vision to check her surroundings, she whispered two words, "Shameless..."
"I'm shameless? You were like a hungry wolf at the hospital yesterday afternoon, I couldn't even push you away. Which of us is shameless?"
"Oh my god, you..." An Lingran really wanted to kick Gu Yunfan, but being in the courtyard and worried about being seen by family, she could only endure it. She quickly pressed the elevator for the garage, and Gu Yunfanfollowed her down.
"Wait... why are you following me..."
With the cameras hanging overhead, An Lingran didn't even dare to speak loudly.
"Didn't you want an explanation? I'll give you one~" Gu Yunfan got into her car arrogantly. "Relax, you'll easily arouse suspicion like this. Do you know what Fourth Sister talked to me about last night?"
"Did she... suspect us?"
"More than just suspect. After hearing the first thing you said when she came back last night, she was certain something was going on between us."
"What?? She knows??"
"Please, I told you long ago that she has sharp eyes. She already talked to me, and she might talk to you next."
"Ah?? Then what did you say??"
"I told her the truth. I recounted the details of how you forced me from start to finish~"
"You! Who forced you??"
"What? Dare to do it but not admit it?"
"No... this is too embarrassing... how can I face Fourth Sister in the future?"
"Now you care about your reputation? Weren't you quite arrogant when you were persecuting me yesterday afternoon?"
"Bah! What now? She won't tell Our Mother, will she??"
"No need to worry about that. You sisters are as close as hands and feet; she won't betray you. She's known about the things between Sixth Sister, Xi Xi, and me for a long time. If she were going to expose us, she would have done it long ago."
"Phew—"
An Lingran adjusted her breathing and continued, "Didn't you say you were going to give me an explanation? Say it."
"You tell me your thoughts first. Was yesterday a momentary impulse, or was it long-planned?"
"I... you..."
"Or to put it another way, do you just want to play with me, or do you truly like me?"
"I... what do you think?!"
"A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea; who knows what you're thinking? Yesterday was so sudden, it left me completely dazed~"
"Then let me ask you, do you like me?"
"Hehe~"
"What are you 'hehe'-ing about? Be serious!"
"I'm young and thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to say~" Gu Yunfan rubbed his face. "Look, is my face red?"
"Tch!" An Lingran rolled her eyes. "You, thin-skinned? Yeah, pretty thin. You made me take off my clothes on the first day of class, doing all sorts of misdeeds under the guise of teaching. You already have a girlfriend, yet you're still sleeping with other women..."
"Stop! Don't get off track. In one word, are you serious about me? Please answer me directly!"
"Of course I'm serious! I'm not a casual woman. Do you know how much courage I had to muster yesterday afternoon?"
"OK~, I understand. You're honest, so I'll be honest too. Actually, I quite like you too. The first time I saw you, I even thought of our child's name~"
"Ah??" An Lingran was stunned for a moment, then her red lips curled up. "You probably said that to Sixth Sisterand Seventh Sister too, right?"
"Student An Lingran! Please be serious!"
"Ha~, okay, okay~, serious. So, we have mutual feelings?"
"Right, a two-way street~"
"Pfft~, so you plan to... date me?"
"I declare, you are my future child's mother."
"Haha..." An Lingran was coaxed into a laughing fit. "Then what about Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister?"
"How do you think it should be solved?"
"Break up with them, of course. You can't have everyone, can you?"
"From the look of things right now, it's hard to do."
"Why??"
"You don't understand your Seventh Sister and Sixth Sister. One is reserved and sensitive, and the other is crazy. If I suggest breaking up with Xi Xi, she'll slit her throat. If I suggest breaking up with Yan Yan, she'll carry a banner to your hospital for a global live stream. Is that what you want to see?"
"Uh..."
An Lingran had a significant age gap with Murong Yanand Jiang Ruoxi, so she didn't really play with them much growing up. But she knew her sisters' temperaments; the consequences Gu Yunfan mentioned sounded like something they would do.
"So, you can't be in a hurry. After all, you're the one who stole someone else's boyfriend. You're the third party; you don't have the moral high ground."
"You're the third party! I didn't even know about the mess between you and them!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. If you have a good solution, I'm all ears."
"Um..."
An Lingran's mind went blank, and she asked back, "Then what do you mean?"
"Two words: time. Leave things that can't be solved for now to time. Time has great power; it can resolve all troubles. For a safe soft landing, we must not act with undue haste."
"Soft landing, my foot..."
An Lingran felt Gu Yunfan was brainwashing her, but she had no better solution, so she could only let it be.
"If you have no objections, let's leave it at that for now?" Gu Yunfan prepared to open the door and get out. "Hurry to work, I need to get ready for school too."
"Wait!" An Lingran pulled him. "That... since we're already a couple... shouldn't we do some things that couples do?"
"What do couples do?"
"Playing dumb?" An Lingran tilted her chin up.
"If anyone ever says you're an abstinent goddess again, I'll say they're blind!" Gu Yunfan kissed her.
Aha~
An Lingran wrapped her arms around Gu Yunfan's neck and kissed him passionately...
Chapter 132: President Godmother, Mayor of Jing City, and Others Invited to Witness the aviation engine Test
The first day of the new semester.
The Tsinghua campus was bustling with people and traffic. The ivory tower, which had been silent for the winter break, regained its usual clamor and vitality.
Vroom—
A Ferrari supercar with sharp lines kicked up fallen sycamore leaves.
Gu Yunfan, as before, drove Jiang Ruoxi to school.
"They're here, they're here! Brother Fan and Campus Belle Jiang are here~"
"Hey, have you guys heard? The Jiang Group has established an artificial intelligence robot subsidiary, and Brother Fan is the president!"
"Holy crap! Really? Brother Fan has another new position? Wasn't he previously the assistant to the President of Jiang Group and the president of the aviation engine subsidiary?"
"That's right. Now he has a new identity. It's said that Brother Fan wanted to do this project, so his Godmotherthrew in 10 billion. Plus, Brother Fan apparently understands the core R&D technology for robots."
"Holy smokes! Is Brother Fan going crazy?! He's way too all-powerful!!"
"The gap between people is damn massive! While we're still buried in books at nineteen, he's handling super projects worth tens of billions!"
"Having a powerful Godmother is just awesome! To be honest, I'm jealous! I also want a Godmother who combines beauty, wealth, and power!"
"Oh right, I also heard that Young Master Gu took his Godmother and Sisters back to his hometown before the New Year. Apparently, one of the Sisters had an accident, and even a bunch of medical experts were helpless. In the end, Young Master Gu saved her. Does Young Master Gualso know medicine?"
"Is that so? I haven't heard about it. It's probably just total nonsense."
"Hearing is not as good as seeing. Let's go, let's go! We'll know once we ask Brother Fan in person!"
The students quickly crowded around Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi, who had just gotten out of the car, curiously asking about the artificial intelligence robot project and the rumor about saving a life.
Regarding the former, Gu Yunfan admitted it generously. Regarding the latter, as it involved the illegal practice of medicine, Gu Yunfan flatly denied it, claiming it was an outside rumor.
Fang Yi and Ding Kai took the opportunity to ask about the experimental progress of the aviation engine.
Gu Yunfan only said it was in progress without specifying a completion date, to avoid getting everyone worked up again. He could already imagine their reactions; within ten minutes, the news would spread across the school, with people either saying he was bragging without a script or that he was daydreaming.
After dealing with the enthusiastic students, Gu Yunfanand Jiang Ruoxi went to their class to sign in, chatted with classmates they hadn't seen in a long time about winter break anecdotes, and then went to the office to greet the teachers of various subjects before heading to the Aviation Research Institute to find Eldest Sister.
Attending classes was no longer important to Gu Yunfan; the priority was to push the aviation engine experiment to success as quickly as possible.
"Morning, Teacher Shen~"
Stepping into the research institute's laboratory, the roar of machinery and the hum of instruments rushed toward them.
Shen Yinuo, dressed in a white lab coat, was standing by an experimental bench, staring at the data on the screen with a furrowed brow. Hundreds of researchers were at their posts; some were busy with high-temperature limit tests for turbofan blades, while others were focused on the precision assembly of core parts.
Seeing Gu Yunfan enter, the cloud of worry on Shen Yinuo's face deepened. "Gu Yunfan, on the day of The Group's resumption meeting, you claimed that the engine would be successful in another month. Eight or nine days have passed, and we only have about twenty days left, but there are still many problems to overcome. I don't see how we can achieve it. You were bragging a bit too much back then..."
"Don't worry, Teacher Shen. Trust me, as long as you follow my requirements, it will be a hundred percent successful," Gu Yunfan said with a certain tone.
"Really? You're that confident?" Shen Yinuo's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Can't you have a little faith in me?" Gu Yunfan said calmly. "What? How about a bet?"
"Alright, what's the bet?"
"If I succeed, you have to give me a good reward."
"No problem. If you really manage to get the engine working, I'll give you whatever you want, Eldest Sister's word~. But what if you fail?"
"I'll find you a boyfriend who's to your liking~"
"Get lost! Who wants that!" Shen Yinuo curled her lip, making Jiang Ruoxi, who was standing aside, giggle while covering her mouth.
Shen Yinuo announced her stakes: "How about this? If you fail, you must obey me unconditionally from now on. You'll do whatever I tell you to do, and I'll always come first. For example, if your Second Sister asks you to study medicine or your Fourth Sister pulls you into a case, if I also need you, you have to refuse them and help me first. That goes for the other Sisters too. Can you do that?"
"What if Our Mother needs me too?"
"Forget about Our Mother; I wouldn't dare compete with her."
"It's a deal then. Remember, if the project is successful, you have to give me whatever I want?"
"Of course, Xi Xi can be our witness~"
Shen Yinuo originally had no confidence, but seeing Gu Yunfan so solemn, she somehow felt a bit more reassured. Her classical almond eyes sparkled with anticipation.
All her thoughts were on the aviation engine project, so she didn't notice at all that her Best friend, An Lingran, had experienced a major abnormality yesterday.
Gu Yunfan looked at Shen Yinuo thoughtfully.
Human nature has a strange psychological phenomenon—the love for rounding up.
For example, when saving money, once you reach 90,000, you always think about reaching 100,000 as soon as possible.
The reason is that 'rounding up' signifies completion.
Hmm... unconsciously... there were six now... only one left to complete the set... Gu Yunfan hadn't thought about Eldest Sister that way before, but now, he felt a strange obsession to fill the gap, otherwise, it would leave a regret in his life.
"What are you dazing for? Get to work."
Shen Yinuo urged, "Regarding a batch of parts, the supplier reported that existing materials don't meet your design requirements. How do we solve this?"
"Call the suppliers one by one, set a time, and we'll go to provide on-site guidance."
"Okay." Shen Yinuo did as he said.
In the late afternoon, the trio of Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, and Jiang Ruoxi went to the hydraulic system supplier. Following Gu Yunfan's guidance, they adjusted the material manufacturing methods. The core technology was held by Gu Yunfan, and he was the only one involved in the key steps. Even so, technical confidentiality agreements and patent licensing contracts were signed with the company beforehand.
In the following days, the three were either in the lab or traveling between various suppliers for bearings, control systems, and more to provide technical guidance. After Gu Yunfan's adjustments, the materials met the design requirements. Shen Yinuo, Jiang Ruoxi, and the other team members, as well as the partners, were greatly shocked.
The value of an all-around super genius was rising every day.
Time flew by, and it was soon the end of March.
On this day, the Tsinghua Aviation Academy was enveloped in a tense yet excited atmosphere.
A brand-new large turbofan aviation engine was transported from the lab to an outdoor dedicated test stand for ground test bench trials.
Project investor Jiang Yujun, the Mayor of Jing City, the Director of the Science and Technology Administration, and other officials, the President of Tsinghua and other school leaders, officials from the Civil Aviation Administration, aviation technology experts, and industry media reporters were invited to attend.
The Jiang Family's Second Princess, Fourth Princess, and Fifth Princess also came to witness the testing of the aviation engine.
Chapter 133: aviation engine Test Successful! Shocking the Whole Audience!
"President Jiang, is your Godson for real? From the project's inception until now... it's only been three full months... and it's already a success?"
The Mayor of Jing City sat beside Jiang Yujun, looking at the massive beast on the test bed. His eyes held curiosity and surprise, but mostly skepticism.
Jiang Yujun's eyes didn't blink, her heart thumping wildly. She couldn't believe it either and only gave a casual response: "Let's wait and see..."
Sitting behind her, An Lingran, Amiya, and Zhao Siqingwere huddled together, whispering to one another.
"No... he said one month and it's been one month... Is Eighth Brother sure it's a success? To organize so many leaders and media to witness the test... isn't he afraid of a disaster?"
Zhao Siqing focused her gaze into the distance. The test bed was quite far away, surrounded by an 8-meter-high soundproof barrier. In the center of the stand, a large turbofan aviation engine was connected to the test base via multiple sets of high-strength bolts.
The six-component force sensor array at the bottom of the base was on standby in real-time to accurately capture changes in thrust data. The front end of the engine's intake was connected to an adjustable intake rectifier, while the tail was aligned with a giant exhaust diffuser. The thermocouples and pressure sensors on the inner wall of the diffuser had been calibrated and were ready to monitor exhaust parameters at any moment.
"Exactly... Eighth Brother is being a bit overconfident..."
Amiya unzipped her leather jacket. The sun was shining brightly today with temperatures in the 20s. Chirping sparrows could be heard from the large willow tree outside the barrier, as if the birds were also paying attention to this testing event.
An Lingran asked softly, "Have you guys talked to Eighth Brother or Eldest Sister lately? Is it really a success?"
"I've asked a few times... Eldest Sister and Xi Xi said... they aren't sure either... Eighth Brother is playing it mysterious... not giving a clear answer... These three have been so busy lately they can't catch a break... staying later than even when I get off work... when I get up in the morning... those three have already left..."
Zhao Siqing hadn't had any deep interaction with Gu Yunfan for several days; she couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. Even if she sent a message, it took forever for him to reply. It was the same for An Lingran and Amiya.
Click, click, click... Reporters on both sides of the stands held up their long lenses and cameras to take photos.
The school had notified the media in advance that if the test failed, they should not publish anything.
The time reached exactly 9 o'clock. Gu Yunfan and Shen Yinuo made their appearance. There was no leadership speech or redundant pleasantries. Gu Yunfan gave the chance to shine to his Eldest Sister, letting her announce the start of the test.
Shen Yinuo said tremulously, "Thank you very much to all the leaders and guests for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the aviation engine test for the large aircraft designed by Student Gu Yunfan. After three months of hard work, the development of this project has been successfully completed under the leadership of Gu Yunfan.
From a blueprint to a physical entity forged through a thousand trials, from countless component tests to today's readiness for departure, every part embodies everyone's hard work, and every process carries the dreams of aviation people. At this moment, the prelude to the engine's roar is about to sound. Let us hold our breath and together welcome this exciting moment—"
Clap, clap, clap... There weren't many spectators on site. Excluding the R&D personnel, there were only about a hundred people.
"All systems ready, requesting to enter the cold start procedure." Inside the control room, a test engineer stared at the screen filled with data, his voice transmitted to all test staff at their posts via the intercom system.
Shen Yinuo glanced nervously at Gu Yunfan and replied with the command: "All systems in place! Prepare for countdown!"
As the command was issued, the fuel supply system started first. High-precision metering pumps delivered aviation kerosene to the fuel nozzles at a preset pressure. The starter motor drove the engine rotor through the gearbox to begin rotating at low speed, with the speed gradually climbing from 500 rpm to 1500 rpm.
On the control console screen, parameters such as rotor vibration amplitude, bearing temperature, and oil pressure curves fluctuated steadily without any abnormal fluctuations.
"Fuel line pressure normal! Ignition system on standby!"
"Cooling system circulation stable! Sensor data normal!"
..."Firefighting group and emergency group on full alert!"
The cold start ended, and the system automatically switched to hot start mode.
Shen Yinuo held the intercom and said with a trembling voice, "3, 2, 1—Ignition!"
Boom—
A dull roar suddenly sounded, and flames erupted from the tail of the engine! Forming a three-meter-long pale blue flame stream!
Wow—
The entire audience gasped in unison!
Sitting in the center seat of the stands, Jiang Yujunclenched her palms nervously. The Mayor of Jing City, the Director of the Science and Technology Administration, the President of Tsinghua, and others instantly became tense.
Observation personnel in the safety zone subconsciously gripped the railings. They clearly saw that the rotor speed on the screen exceeded 3000 rpm in just 3 seconds. This single piece of data far surpassed current world standards!
"Exhaust temperature 480 degrees! Vibration amplitude 0.01mm, reaching design standards!" The tester's voice carried an uncontrollable excitement.
Shen Yinuo stared at the dozens of sets of jumping parameters on the screen and said excitedly, "Begin the incremental thrust test!"
Vroom vroom vroom—
The huge engine emitted a beautiful acceleration sound, and the roar became increasingly powerful.
"My god! Did you see the data?"
The Dean of the Aviation Academy Research Institutepointed at the big screen in shock. "The speed curve is rising almost vertically! It went from 11,500 rpm to 14,200 rpm in 1 second! The thrust simultaneously surged from 150 kn to 200 kn! And there was no sign of surging! The noise is extremely low! It's unbelievable!"
An Lingran, Amiya, and Zhao Siqing didn't understand the specific data, but they were deeply impressed. Their intuitive feeling of this engine could be summarized in three words: powerful, stable, and quiet.
"Do you think... if a person stood in front of the aviation engine intake... would they be sucked in?" Zhao Siqingmurmured softly.
"Of course!" Amiya snorted. "The suction of an aviation engine is extremely strong... especially a high-bypass civil aviation engine... it could suck an adult in instantly... then they'd be shredded by the high-speed blades... and then vaporized by the high temperatures..."
"Hiss..."
Zhao Siqing shivered, the hair on her body standing on end.
After testing core indicators such as thrust, speed, fuel consumption, exhaust temperature, and noise decibels, Shen Yinuo followed the established plan set by Gu Yunfan to conduct stress tests. These were divided into three items: water ingestion, ice ingestion, and sand ingestion, to simulate reliability in extreme flight environments.
Whoosh boom—
During the water ingestion test, a dense mist of water sprayed out accompanied by the hissing sound of mixing steam, causing another round of exclamations from the audience.
The engine speed on the big screen fluctuated briefly, but after only 0.5 seconds, it quickly returned to a stable value. Shen Yinuo ordered an increase in water flow to simulate a rainstorm, and it remained as steady as an old dog.
The data fluctuations for hail and sand ingestion were larger than those for water, but they all completed the tests to high standards.
The entire ground test lasted for more than two hours. In the end, everyone was dumbfounded. Shen Yinuo stood frozen in front of the control console as if sleepwalking.
"Teacher Shen, it's time to announce the end."
Gu Yunfan called her three times without a response, so he had to announce it himself: "The ground test of the high-bypass turbofan aviation engine developed by Professor Shen Yinuo's team is complete. All indicators have met the design standards. Thank you all for witnessing this. Next, Professor Shen will report the detailed test data~"
Clap!
Clap, clap!
Jiang Yujun stood up excitedly and applauded.
Clap, clap, clap... The whole audience stood up—
Chapter 134: Eldest Princess: Whatever request you have... Big Sister promises to fulfill it... The applause from the entire audience snapped Shen Yinuo out of her daze.
Shen Yinuo took the design parameters and test data summary for the engine from Jiang Ruoxi and said in a daze, "The high-bypass turbofan aviation enginedesigned by Gu Yunfan is suitable for commercial wide-body aircraft, with a design philosophy centered on 'high efficiency, reliability, environmental friendliness, low noise, and easy maintenance.'"
"The core performance indicators are as follows: the designed thrust per engine is 785 KN, approximately 80 tons. The test data reached 785 KN, with a maximum thrust exceeding 800 KN..."
Whoosh——
The audience erupted into an uproar once again.
"Did you hear that? This engine's thrust is as high as 80 tons!" The Dean of the Aviation Academy Research Institute was exceptionally excited. "They succeeded! That's 20 tons more thrust than the current world-leading General Electric GE9X aviation engine! And 55 tons more than our domestically developed Yangtze River series engines!!"
"Exactly!" The Dean of the School of Aeronautics was so excited his ears were ringing. "Do you know what this means? It means our country has overcome the technological barriers for large aircraft aviation engines! We've leaped to become number one in the world!"
Hearing this, the President of Tsinghua, Jiang Yujun, the Mayor of Jing City, the Director of the Science and Technology Administration, and others on the side all wore expressions of utter shock.
Shen Yinuo then proceeded to introduce the design and test data for parameters such as rotational speed, thrust-to-weight ratio, bypass ratio, thermal efficiency, intake and exhaust temperatures, ultra-low noise, and exhaust emissions. Without exception, all test results met the standards, with many parameters even exceeding the design targets.
Finally, Shen Yinuo announced clearly, "I declare that the ground bench test for the high-bypass turbofan aviation engine, designed and led in development by Gu Yunfan, is a success——"
Clap clap clap clap clap... Clap clap clap clap clap... Jiang Yujun, the Mayor of Jing City, the Second Princess, the Fourth Princess, the Fifth Princess, and other audience members applauded excitedly once more. The engineers and test personnel involved in the research and development wept tears of joy, embracing each other in celebration.
Jiang Ruoxi watched Gu Yunfan before her with tear-filled eyes, her gaze full of fervent admiration and intense love.
My god... He actually succeeded... Am I dreaming... What kind of super-genius boyfriend did I end up with... This is terrifying... Shen Yinuo stiffly turned around, her almond-shaped eyes red as she said dazedly, "Big genius... Come on... Say a few words?"
"Sure~" Gu Yunfan took the microphone calmly. "Thank you all for witnessing this. For this research project to succeed, first, I must thank the project investor—President Jiang Yujun of the Jiang Group. When the project was first proposed, no one believed in me. Many advised me to give up, not to indulge in flights of fancy. It was President Jiang who overrode all objections and, without hesitation, invested 1 billion in me, convincing the university leadership to support the project. Without President Jiang, we could not have succeeded. So, I take this opportunity to say on behalf of the entire team—thank you!"
Clap clap clap clap clap... Jiang Yujun humbly shook her head. She was feeling a bit dazed at the moment.
"Secondly, I want to thank the project leader, Professor Shen Yinuo."
Gu Yunfan continued, "Although I am also a project leader, I was essentially a hands-off manager. Organizing the R&D team, coordinating between the university and the enterprise, managing supplier collaborations—all these big and small tasks were handled by Professor Shen. Without her, our project would have been a castle in the air. From start to finish, she worked the hardest and contributed the most. So, I also want to say on behalf of the team—thank you!"
Clap clap clap clap clap... Shen Yinuo ultimately couldn't hold back, two streams of hot tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Yunfan then expressed gratitude to the team, the university, relevant departments, and partner organizations. Finally, he said, "Today is just the ground bench test. We still have high-altitude platform tests, flight tests, and mass production acceptance tests to follow. According to the established plan, if all tests meet standards, the Shen Group will undertake mass production. We hope everyone will continue to pay attention and offer your support~"
Applause——
Thunderous applause———
In the Aviation Academy Research Institute building and the Aviation Academy teaching building, many teachers and students leaned against the windows, curiously looking out. The distance was a bit far, making it hard to see clearly, and they didn't know whether it was a success or failure.
As Gu Yunfan left the control console, he was suddenly hugged by his Big Sister.
"Eighth Brother... You..." Shen Yinuo choked up as soon as she started speaking, unable to get the words out, her body trembling with sobs.
The faint, elegant fragrance wafted before Gu Yunfan's nose. Holding his Big Sister, he boasted, "So? I didn't let you down, did I?"
"It's more than just not letting me down... The result far exceeded my imagination..." Shen Yinuo's eyes were brimming with tears. "Eighth Brother, pinch me... I want to know... if this is really a dream..."
"Then I'm really going to pinch you~" Gu Yunfan gave her waist a tweak.
"Ouch..." Shen Yinuo's willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, a teardrop falling onto Gu Yunfan's neck. "Thank you... Thank you, Eighth Brother, for helping me overcome this hurdle... Thank you for helping me realize my dream..."
"You haven't forgotten our bet, right?"
"No... I haven't forgotten... Just say what you want... Whatever request you have... Big Sister promises... I won't utter half a word of refusal..."
"I want..."
Gu Yunfan kept her in suspense. "I'll tell you later~"
Jiang Ruoxi watched him eagerly, also wanting a hug.
Gu Yunfan let go of his Big Sister and hugged Jiang Ruoxi, whispering provocatively, "Is your husband amazing or what?"
"Mhm mhm... Husband, I love you..."
"Oh! The little coward is quite bold today~"
"Hehehe..."
Seeing that Big Sister had already turned around, Jiang Ruoxi didn't dare to act up any further.
The group descended from the control console, and Jiang Yujun, the Mayor of Jing City, the President of Tsinghua, and others came forward to meet them.
"baby! You've created another miracle! This time, it's a monumental miracle!"
Jiang Yujun took three steps in two, then quickened her pace in high heels towards Gu Yunfan, followed by a big hug: "Godmother loves you to death——"
Mwah! Mwah! Mwah... Jiang Yujun didn't hold back at all, openly holding Gu Yunfan's face and kissing his forehead repeatedly. The Jiang Family was long used to this, but the Tsinghua university leadership and officials were startled.
In the public eye, Jiang Yujun was an aloof and domineering queen, usually not showing emotions, appearing quite shrewd. Outsiders had never seen her act so excessively.
[interaction value +69]
Under the gaze of the crowd, Gu Yunfan felt a bit embarrassed and said shyly, "Alright, alright, Godmother, calm down. So many people are watching."
"Let them watch~" Jiang Yujun wrapped her arms around Gu Yunfan's neck, her captivating fox-like eyes spelling out four words: Utterly Astonishing!
"Ahem~" The Mayor of Jing City coughed lightly, a hidden smile in his eyes. "Comrade Yunfan, to be honest, when you first proposed the project, I wasn't optimistic either. I never expected you'd succeed in just three months. Your Godmother is right; you've created a miracle in our country's aviation industry. Today marks a milestone in the world's aviation history, ushering in a new stage!"
The Director of the National Science and Technology Administration nodded excitedly. "Yunfan, aviation engines are called the jewel in the crown of modern industry. You may not realize how significant your contribution is. Without exaggeration, you will help our country break the monopoly of international aviation engine giants and change the development landscape of the world's aviation industry!"
A Civil Aviation Administration official proudly gave a thumbs-up. "Comrade Yunfan, well done! On behalf of our country's civil aviation industry, I express our sincere gratitude to you!"
The President of Tsinghua laughed heartily. "If this news gets out, won't the whole country go wild? No! The entire world will be shaken!"
Hahahahaha... Amidst the laughter, media reporters crowded in for interviews. Gu Yunfan and Shen Yinuocooperated with each other, seriously answering the reporters' questions.
An Lingran, Amiya, and Zhao Siqing didn't even get a chance to interject.
Chapter 135: Famous Overnight! Dominating the Hot Search Rankings, a National Sensation!
Noon.
The President of Tsinghua organized a victory banquet at the Jia Suo Restaurant, which was specifically used to host important guests or celebrate major events.
Inside the massive banquet hall, Jiang Yujun sat at the head of Table 1. To her left sat Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, An Lingran, Amiya, Zhao Siqing, and Jiang Ruoxi. To her right sat the Mayor of Jing City, the Director of the Science and Technology Administration, and other officials.
The President of Tsinghua took the stage to deliver a speech, welcoming the guests and thanking the R&D team. As he stepped down to take his seat, an exclamation from Zhao Siqing came from below the stage.
"Wow! Eighth Brother and Eldest Sister are on the hot searches!" Zhao Siqing swiped her screen.

Don't Eat Beef: Jiang Yujun is standing to the left of Gu Yunfan. Who is the beautiful sister on the right?
Don't Eat Cilantro: There's an introduction below. She is Shen Yinuo, a professor at the Tsinghua Aviation Academy and one of the project leads. First time seeing such a young and beautiful university professor~
Shen Yinuo was also scrolling through the hot search comments at this time, grinning from ear to ear.
Amiya stared at the hot searches and shook her head in amazement. "The top ten are all about the aviation engine. Eighth Brother and Eldest Sister became famous overnight. They're going to be huge stars now~"
Shen Yinuo smiled and waved her hand. "No, no, no. It's all Eighth Brother's credit. I'm just there in name, riding on his coattails~"
"Eldest Sister, you're being too modest. You're the number one contributor." Gu Yunfan leaned against his Godmother to read the news. "Which reporter took this photo? It doesn't make me look handsome enough."
"Oh, my dear child~ How much handsomer do you want to be?" Jiang Yujun's heart-shaped face beamed with pride.
The Mayor of Jing City laughed and said, "Yaya was right just now. Yunfan really made a big splash this time, creating a sensation across the country."
"Haha~" Jiang Yujun showed off, "Just tell me, isn't my Godson amazing?"
"President Jiang, the leader wants to speak with you."
The Director of the Science and Technology Administration had just reported the test results to his superior, and the leader was deeply shocked.
"Hello, Leader..." Jiang Yujun stood up to take the call to the side. After a moment, she called Gu Yunfan over.
The Mayor of Jing City remarked to the Director, "This kid has performed a great service for the country~"
"Indeed. The leader has expressed high praise for him." The Director added, "The leader said there's a meeting at 1:30 PM. You'll be receiving the meeting notice soon as well."
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Jiang Ruoxi received a video call from Murong Yan. Since there were many leaders at the table and the banquet hall was crowded, she felt embarrassed to answer, so she declined it and typed a reply.
Sixth Sister: Why didn't you pick up my video call? Where are Eighth Brother and Our Mother? Neither of them is picking up my calls!
Jiang Ruoxi: Our Mother and Gu Yunfan are on the phone with the leader~
Sixth Sister: Fine! The news has spread all over the film crew! I just saw the hot searches! Did Eighth Brotherreally succeed??
Jiang Ruoxi: Yes~
Sixth Sister: Holy sh*t!!!!!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Shen Yinuo, An Lingran, Amiya, and Zhao Siqing also received calls. Shen Yinuo's call was from a colleague in the aviation engine industry, while the other three received calls from leaders at the hospital, police station, and CCTV. After seeing the hot searches, everyone came to inquire about the details.
The Third Princess, Wei Zixia, also saw the news. Unable to reach her family for the moment, she frantically sent messages in the family group, @-ing everyone.
"Look at how busy this family is~"
Just as the Mayor of Jing City finished speaking, he also received a call from a colleague. A moment later, the President of Tsinghua, the Dean of the School of Aeronautics, and leaders from the Civil Aviation Administration were all on their phones.
When Gu Yunfan and Jiang Yujun returned, they were amused by the scene. "Wait, are we still eating? This victory banquet has turned into a phone banquet."
"Haha~" Jiang Yujun had just received an invitation from the leader over the phone to bring Gu Yunfan and Shen Yinuo to the meeting in the afternoon. The state was placing great importance on the aviation engine project.
Because of the upcoming meeting...
Everyone had a quick meal and went downstairs together. A large number of teachers and students had already gathered below.
"He's out! He's out!! Gu Yunfan is out!!"
"Ah—! My god, I love you—!"
"I was wondering why there was a roar coming from the Aviation Academy's research institute this morning. It turns out you guys were doing an engine test!!"
"You're too powerful!! The aviation engine you designed actually succeeded!! And it's the most advanced technology in the world! It's only been three months! This isn't just a miracle; it's a divine feat!!"
"Brother Fan, I'm sorry! I didn't believe you could succeed at first and even said you were daydreaming. I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly. I was wrong, Brother! I failed to recognize your greatness!"
"Brother Fan didn't just prove you wrong; he proved all of us wrong! But it's a good slap in the face! I'll take it, no matter how much it hurts! I'm freaking convinced!"
"Yifu! I beg you to take me as your disciple. I'll work for you from now on!"
"Hubby! Take me as your wife! I've been dreaming of marrying you!"
"Me, me, me! And me! I don't care about being the main wife; being a secondary one is fine!"
Hearing these wild words, the officials and school leaders didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Mayor of Jing City joked to the President of Tsinghua, "The students at your Tsinghua have some unhealthy thoughts~"
The President of Tsinghua said cheerfully, "These students weren't like this before. They've all been led astray by Yunfan's charm."
Gu Yunfan waved to the surrounding students and teachers and got into the car with his Godmother and Eldest Sister.
Chapter 136: Jiang Group's Stock Price Hits Limit Up at Opening, Godmother, Gu Yunfan, and Eldest PrincessReap a Bountiful Harvest
The meeting lasted the entire afternoon.
First, they offered high praise for Gu Yunfan, and by extension, also commended Shen Yinuo and Jiang Yujun.
Second, they instructed relevant units such as the Science and Technology Administration, the Civil Aviation Administration, Qingbei University, and the Jing City Municipal Government to attach utmost importance to the aviation engine project, ensure its smooth mass production, and provide ongoing support in its future development. In short: provide policies when needed, land when needed, and funds when needed.
Third, they granted substantive awards to Gu Yunfan and Shen Yinuo. For Gu Yunfan, they applied for the state supreme science and technology award, the national special contribution award, national-level honorary titles, National Peoples Congress Deputy, and National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference member. For Shen Yinuo, they applied for academician of the Dragon Country Academy of Engineering, National Peoples Congress Deputy, and National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference member.
During the meeting, Jiang Yujun indicated that Gu Yunfanalso possessed advanced military aviation engine design and manufacturing technology. When establishing the aviation engine subsidiary, they applied for the three military certifications from relevant units: Confidentiality Qualification Certificate, Weapons and Equipment Research and Production License, and Equipment Manufacturing Unit Qualification Certificate, but approval had not yet been granted.
Jiang Yujun received a clear response that superiors would urge relevant units to further evaluate and issue the military manufacturing production qualification as soon as possible.
After the meeting concluded.
Leaders such as the Director of the Science and Technology Administration, the Mayor of Jing City, and the President of Tsinghua congratulated Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, and Jiang Yujun, then each left by car.
"big sister, congratulations! Barring any surprises, you're going to be elected as an academician of the National Academy of Engineering. Becoming an academician at just 31 years old sets a historical record~"
Once in the car, Gu Yunfan took out his phone and held down the power button. His phone had been turned off during the meeting and couldn't be brought into the conference room.
"Haha~, isn't it all thanks to you?"
Shen Yinuo was ecstatic, "If we're talking about setting records, you've set more and bigger ones. At just 19 years old, you're about to receive the state supreme science and technology award, the national special contribution award, national-level honorary titles, and more. Listen, listen, how terrifying is that~"
"Stay humble, stay humble. I haven't won the awards yet. But speaking of which, if I do get the state supreme science and technology award, will there be a lot of prize money?"
"You little money-grubber~, don't worry, the prize money definitely won't be small. The aviation engine is a national treasure, and your contribution is immense. The country, the city government, the district government, and the school will all reward you handsomely~"
After Shen Yinuo finished speaking, Jiang Yujun added, "And Godmother too~, Godmother will also reward you well, kid. Ah, today really feels like a dream~"
"Reporting, President Jiang, I have good news to report to you!" The assistant in the passenger seat seized the opportunity to interject.
Jiang Yujun looked up, "What good news?"
"Just three seconds after the stock market opened this afternoon, Jiang Group's stock price hit limit up."
"What?? The Group's stock price hit limit up??"
When it trended on social media at noon, Jiang Yujun had anticipated that Jiang Group's stock price would surge, but she didn't expect it to hit limit up just three seconds after opening.
"Oh~, it really did~" Gu Yunfan opened the top news app.
The top three trending topics had changed to——
#Jiang Group's Stock Price Hits Limit Up at Opening, Market Value Instantly Soars by 105.2 Billion!#
#Boosted by aviation engine Positive News, Jiang Group's Market Value Rises to 1.1572 Trillion!#
#Asia's Richest Woman Jiang Yujun's Net Worth Rises from 300 Billion to 347 Billion!#
"Haha..."
After glimpsing the trending topics on Gu Yunfan's phone, Jiang Yujun suddenly cupped his face and excitedly planted kisses on his forehead, "Mwah mwah mwah."
"baby! Last year, The Group's stock price fluctuated throughout, ending with a year-on-year increase of just over 20 billion. And you helped The Group grow its market value by 105.2 billion in just three seconds! Godmother loves you to death!! Mwah mwah mwah!!!"
"What's a hundred billion? It'll rise again when the market opens tomorrow~"
"Hahaha..."
Jiang Yujun tightly hugged Gu Yunfan, "You're Godmother's big lucky charm!!!"
"So? I didn't disappoint Godmother, did I?"
"Mhm mhm mhm! You kid kept your word! It's amazing!!!"
Jiang Yujun grabbed Gu Yunfan's shoulders with both hands, gazing at him fervently. For a moment, she almost... ahem... ultimately restrained herself... "Tomorrow is April 1st, right?" Jiang Yujun glanced at her phone and decisively instructed the assistant, "Notify all departments: tomorrow at 9 AM, hold a press conference for the successful aviation engine test, broadcast live across the internet. All employees at The Groupheadquarters must attend. Since the hotel can't accommodate so many people, immediately book the International Conference Center!"
"Received!" The assistant immediately set to work.
Jiang Yujun said excitedly, "baby~, what reward do you want? Just name it~"
Hmm... If I told Godmother now... that I want to date her daughters... I wonder if she'd agree... Forget it... she's happy right now... don't spoil her mood... Gu Yunfanreplied, "I don't want anything, as long as Godmother is happy~"
"Haha~, that won't do. You've made such a huge contribution to The Group, Godmother must reward you properly~"
Jiang Yujun said mysteriously, "Since you haven't made any requests, Godmother will take matters into her own hands then~"
Upon returning home.
An Lingran, Amiya, Zhao Siqing, and Jiang Ruoxi had already prepared the celebration banquet.
"Oh, you're finally back. What kind of meeting was it? How did it last from noon until now?"
Zhao Siqing asked curiously, the excitement on her face still hadn't faded. She had gone to her workplace in the afternoon, showing off everywhere.
Amiya was similar; as soon as she arrived at her workplace, she was surrounded by leaders and colleagues, unable to focus on her cases. "Hurry up and tell us, such a high-level meeting, I've never attended one. Did they praise Old Eighth?"
Shen Yinuo's smile was harder to suppress than a rocket launcher, "Not only did they praise Old Eighth, but Sister and Our Mother were also praised. Let me tell you, barring any surprises, your big sister is going to be elected as an academician of the Dragon Country Academy of Engineering~"
"Ah?? Really?? You're only in your thirties and you're going to be an academician?? This... this... is this reasonable??" Zhao Siqing stammered incoherently.
Shen Yinuo said proudly, "Following the regular process, of course it's not reasonable~, but I'm benefiting from Old Eighth's light, helping the country break through a major technological bottleneck. You have no idea how valuable this technology is~"
"Impressive, impressive!"
"I'm just the supporting role; the impressive one is Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother will receive the state supreme science and technology award, the national special contribution award, national-level honorary titles, and will also be nominated as a National Peoples Congress Deputy and National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference member, offering suggestions for the country's development. The latter two might also be achieved by your big sister~"
"Oh my goodness——"
Zhao Siqing, Amiya, An Lingran, and Jiang Ruoxi looked at each other, utterly shocked.
Shen Yinuo continued, "Eighth Brother is just a student and doesn't meet the criteria for academician election. Otherwise, with his outstanding contributions, an academician title would definitely be his."
Amiya gave two thumbs up, "Strong, strong, strong! You all reaped a bountiful harvest today!"
Jiang Ruoxi said softly, "big sister, Gu Yunfan, congratulations to you both~"
"Congratulations, congratulations. The food is ready. Tonight, let's celebrate properly as a family~" An Lingraninvited the family to take their seats.
Chapter 137: The CEO Godmother Gives Gu Yunfan a Super Huge Reward, Astonishing Her Daughters
"Family, today is the happiest day of my life. If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up~"
Shen Yinuo raised her red wine glass: "Come on~, let's have a toast. We didn't drink at noon, so tonight we'll drink to our heart's content~"
"Cheers, cheers~, congratulations to Eldest Sister, congratulations to Eighth Brother, and congratulations to Asia's Richest Woman~"
"To be honest with you all, my mood still hasn't calmed down. My heart is racing wildly. I'm truly proud of you. Eighth Brother is really our family's great lucky star~"
Amiya, Zhao Siqing, An Lingran, and Jiang Ruoxi raised their glasses together.
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry~" Jiang Yujun took three red envelopes from her assistant. "Yunfan's contributions to the Jiang Group are priceless, Yinuo has also put in a lot of effort, including Xi Xi. Where there are contributions, there should be rewards. As your Godmother, I'll first reward each of you with a red envelope as a token of my appreciation~"
"Wow! It's not another check, is it?" Zhao Siqing said eagerly.
Amiya speculated: "The red envelope is so thin, it must be a check."
"Thank you, dear Great Beauty Jiang~" Shen Yinuo took her own red envelope.
Jiang Ruoxi was too embarrassed to accept it and waved her hand in polite refusal: "Mom, I didn't contribute much. From start to finish, I only did some basic work. I don't need the red envelope, okay~"
"Even the smallest effort is still an effort. Take it. Your red envelope is relatively small, just a token~" Jiang Yujundirectly stuffed it into Seventh Princess's hands.
Gu Yunfan pretended to be modest: "Godmother, you gave me 200 million during the Spring Festival, which is enough for eight lifetimes. I don't need it either~"
"If you don't want it, I'll take it!"
Zhao Siqing stood up and snatched Gu Yunfan's red envelope. She opened it in front of everyone, her eyebrows raised: "Another 100 million... wait... 10... 1 billion???"
"How much??"
Amiya sprang up and leaned over, her deep pupils rapidly contracting: "Holy crap! It really is 1 billion!!"
Eldest Princess, Second Princess, and Seventh Princesswere all inwardly shocked.
Shen Yinuo hurriedly tore open her own red envelope and suddenly became excited: "Wow, wow, wow! I got 100 million!!"
"100 million?? Although it's only one-tenth of Eighth Brother's, it's still a huge amount!!" Zhao Siqing looked at Jiang Ruoxi. "Seventh Sister, how much did you get??"
Jiang Ruoxi opened her red envelope gracefully and pulled out the check: "Hmm... 10 million... hehe~"
"Not bad!" Zhao Siqing showed envy. "Eighth Brother, you don't want it, right? Then I'll help you keep it safe for now..."
Before she could finish, with a whoosh, the check was snatched away by Gu Yunfan.
"You're everywhere. I was just being polite to Godmother. Why are you butting in?" Gu Yunfan skillfully pocketed the check.
Zhao Siqing slapped him: "Your hands are quite fast!"
Haha... laughter rippled through the dining room.
"Thank you, Godmother, for the super invincible huge red envelope. Godmother, I love you~"
Gu Yunfan raised his glass. "Once again, thank you, Godmother, for your unconditional trust and strong support. Godmother, just wait and see. This is just the beginning. The Jiang Group will definitely experience explosive growth."
"Haha~, Godmother believes in you. You are the lucky general sent by heaven to save me~"
Jiang Yujun then raised her red wine. "Thank you, baby. Children, let's all toast together~"
Clink, clink, clink... the family clinked glasses and drank together.
During the meal, Sixth Princess Murong Yan started a family group video chat, and Third Princess Wei Zixia also connected. Upon learning that Gu Yunfan had received a 1 billion bonus, they were greatly shocked. When they found out that Gu Yunfan would also receive the National Highest Science and Technology Award and other honors, they were shocked again and felt genuinely proud of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Because they were in such a good mood, Jiang Yujun and Shen Yinuo got completely drunk, but neither wanted to end the gathering.
"Drink... ba... baby, keep drinking..." Jiang Yujun's face was flushed, and her speech was slurred.
"Alright, Godmother, a little drink is pleasant, but too much harms the body. We still have to hold a press conference tomorrow morning."
Gu Yunfan supported his Godmother. Seeing her unsteady steps, he bent down and picked her up directly.
"Mmm..." Jiang Yujun moaned softly.
Eww~~~
Zhao Siqing squinted her drunken eyes. Why did he have to carry her? Couldn't he have carried her on his back? The scene looks so weird... "You all should go to bed early too." Gu Yunfan carried his Godmother upstairs.
Shen Yinuo rested her cheek on one hand, her eyes dazed and drunkenly said: "Sleep... sleep what sleep... it's still early... Eighth Brother, I'll wait for you to come down and keep drinking... it's time to fulfill the bet... I admit defeat... you come down later... and tell me what you really want..."
"Eldest Sister, don't drink anymore. You've never drunk this much before. Take care of your health."
An Lingran helped Shen Yinuo up: "Get up, I'll take you back to your room to sleep."
"No... no way... I want to wait for Eighth Brother... you all go wash up and sleep first..." Shen Yinuo stubbornly refused to leave.
Zhao Siqing yawned: "I can't hold on anymore. I still have to work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first~"
An Lingran told Amiya and Jiang Ruoxi to go back and rest as well.
Passing by the second floor, Jiang Ruoxi saw her mother's bedroom door slightly ajar and softly said from outside: "Gu Yunfan... is our mom okay?"
"She's fine. You drank quite a bit too. Go to sleep quickly. Is Eldest Sister still waiting for me?"
"Yeah... she won't leave..."
"Alright, I'll be right down."
"No... you can't go, kid..."
Jiang Yujun's arms wrapped around Gu Yunfan's neck and wouldn't let go. "baby, stay with me and sleep..."
"Ahem... Godmother, don't talk nonsense." Gu Yunfansupported himself on the bed, hovering over Jiang Yujun, his neck stiff and his body rigid. "Didn't you claim to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?... Did you crash tonight?"
"I... I'm not drunk..."
"Alright, alright, you're not drunk. Let go of me first. I'll take off your shoes and get you a glass of water."
"Don't take them off... don't drink..."
Jiang Yujun closed her fox-like eyes, feeling the world spin, and mumbled incoherently: "baby, do you know... your mom and I... once..."
"Once what?"
"On... once..."
Jiang Yujun's voice grew softer and softer, and her arms around Gu Yunfan gradually loosened.
What did this person want to tell me?
Under the warm wall lamp, Gu Yunfan felt that Jiang Yujun, in her drunken state, was incredibly beautiful and captivating. The seven daughters each had their own beauty, but Jiang Yujun was in a league of her own.
What a pity~
Such a peerless beauty is actually single.
Perhaps no one is worthy of her.
Buzz, buzz, buzz——
An Lingran's phone call pulled Gu Yunfan back from his daze.
Gu Yunfan didn't answer. He took off his Godmother's cotton slippers and lace-edged socks, covered her with the quilt, and before leaving, poured a glass of hot water.
"Coming, coming~"
Gu Yunfan returned to the dining room. "Why haven't you two left yet?"
"Eldest Sister insists on talking to you about the bet. I can't persuade her to leave." An Lingran asked with concern: "Is our mom okay? Why did it take so long?"
"Don't even ask. She got drunk and started acting crazy, pulling me and not letting me leave, insisting on writing me another 10 billion check~"
An Lingran curled her lip: "Yeah, right. Who would believe that? Our mom has good drinking manners and never acts crazy when drunk."
"Eigh... Eighth Brother is back... sit... let's keep drinking..." Shen Yinuo lay on the table, dizzy and disoriented.
"No more drinking. Let's have tea, okay? Didn't you want to talk to me about the bet? How about we talk in your bedroom?"
Gu Yunfan lifted Eldest Sister. "Come on, come on, lying here is so uncomfortable. Let's talk properly lying on the bed."
"Okay..." Shen Yinuo was supported by Gu Yunfan and An Lingran on either side and taken back to the East Wing Room.
Chapter 138: Gu Yunfan Forces a Kiss on the Eldest Princess, Unlocking the Third Ten-Thousand-Point Treasure Chest
An Lingran helped Eldest Sister take off her coat, pants, and shoes and socks, covered her with a silk quilt, poured a glass of honey water, and stood by without any intention of leaving.
Gu Yunfan sat by the bed and glanced at her: "What are you doing, Second Sister? Trying to eavesdrop on Eldest Sister's and my secret?"
"Pfft, then I'll go wash up and sleep."
"Go ahead. Eldest Sister and I have been busy developing the aviation engine recently, so you've fallen behind in many lessons. Starting tomorrow, I'll continue imparting skills to you~"
Gu Yunfan turned his back to Eldest Sister and winked at An Lingran.
Seriously... flirting with me right in front of Eldest Sister... An Lingran hummed in acknowledgment and turned to leave the room.
"Water... I need water..." Shen Yinuo forced herself to stay somewhat sober to discuss matters.
Gu Yunfan wrapped his left arm around Shen Yinuo, pulling her close to his chest, picked up the honey water with his right hand, blew on it, and brought it to her lips: "Careful, it's hot~"
"Sip..." Shen Yinuo took two small sips: "Thank you, Eighth Brother... Speak up... What do you really want... Our Mother rewarded you with 1 billion... I also need to fulfill my promise..."
"Eldest Sister, the bet we made back then was that if I succeeded, you'd give me whatever I wanted, right?"
"That's right..."
"You're sure, right? No matter what request I make, you have to agree unconditionally."
"Of course... I'll do whatever I can... and find a way for what I can't..."
"Eldest Sister truly lives up to her title, so generous~. Want to take a guess?"
"Guess my foot... Hurry up..."
"It's no fun if I say it myself~"
"You little rascal..."
Shen Yinuo had thought about it before but didn't know what reward to give. "First... you don't lack money... You probably have no interest in money, right?"
"Indeed, Our Mother has given me more than enough money. Money is just a number in my eyes."
"Hmm... you've been dating Xi Xi for a while now... You don't lack a girlfriend either, right?"
Well... not lacking doesn't mean I couldn't use one more... Shen Yinuo saw him hesitating to answer, her hazy eyes filled with a hint of confusion: "What do you mean... Isn't Xi Xi enough for you, you little rascal... Eyeing the pot while eating from the bowl... Do you want another girl? Be honest with me... Do you also have something going on with Yan Yan?"
"Ahem, Eldest Sister, don't change the subject."
"I won't guess anymore... You say it yourself... I can barely hold on... If you don't say it soon... I'm going to fall asleep..." Shen Yinuo closed her blurry almond-shaped eyes.
Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision, glanced around to confirm it was safe, gently laid Eldest Sister on the pillow, gritted his teeth once, then again, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "I want you..."
???
Shen Yinuo suddenly opened her flushed eyelids, thinking she misheard, and exclaimed in shock: "What did you say??"
Gu Yunfan had been inseparable from Shen Yinuo every day recently. From his observations, Eldest Sister had feelings for him, which was why he dared to speak so boldly.
"I said I want you."
Gu Yunfan remained calm and unflustered, just one step away from perfection, success within reach.
"You... have you had too much to drink??" Shen Yinuoclosed her eyes and opened them again, wondering if she was hallucinating.
"Never mind whether I've had too much to drink. You said it yourself—whatever I want, you'll give it, unconditional agreement. What? Going back on your word?"
"No... are you serious, you little rascal??" Shen Yinuolooked utterly bewildered.
Gu Yunfan leaned closer by the bedside: "What do you think? I want you to kiss me now~"
"Are you crazy???"
Shen Yinuo tried to sit up but felt weak all over, unable to muster any strength.
"Shh... I'll do it myself..." Gu Yunfan took the initiative and kissed her.
Mmm mmm mmm—
Shen Yinuo's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock!
Have I had too much to drink, or has he?
Am I dreaming??
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god—
Shen Yinuo's red lips were pried open by Gu Yunfan, followed by a passionate exchange... She struggled for a bit, but under the influence of alcohol, gradually shifted from resistance to acceptance, her consciousness blurring as she wrapped her arms around Gu Yunfan's neck and launched a fierce counterattack.
In the midst of the counterattack, she fell asleep... Gu Yunfan released her, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth as the System notification sounded: [interaction value +70].
The System points balance displayed as 10,065.
The growth rate of points over the past twenty-plus days had been slow because Gu Yunfan had been busy developing the aviation engine every day, rarely engaging in deep interactions with his Sisters.
Shen Yinuo was too drunk to be conscious, so today wasn't convenient. Another day, then~
Gu Yunfan pulled the quilt over her, left the room, turned off the light. The courtyard was quiet; Godmother and the Sisters were all asleep.
Returning to the master bedroom on the third floor, he headed to the bathroom to shower.
Aiming at the Ten-Thousand-Point Treasure Chest, unlock!
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining 1nm chip and lithography machine R&D technology!]
[Skill transmission in progress...]
Holy moly, what a massive surprise!!!
1nm chip?? And a lithography machine???
This, this, this... Gu Yunfan knew exactly how terrifyingly valuable this technology was.
A 1nm chip refers to a chip manufacturing process with a nominal node size of 1 nanometer, a key indicator measuring transistor integration and technological advancement in chips.
The 1nm process chip is the physical limit of silicon-based technology. So far, no one in the global semiconductor industry has achieved it. The most advanced mass-produced process is 2nm, controlled by Samsung and TSMC. Mainland China currently only achieves 7nm, lagging 2-3 generations behind the global cutting-edge level.
Taking smartphones as an example, the latest iFruit 17 series, equipped with the A19 Chip, uses TSMC's third-generation 3nm process. The 18 series will adopt the 2nm process.
Meanwhile, Dragon Country's Huawei latest flagship phone, equipped with the domestically developed Kirin 9020 chip, uses SMIC's 7nm process, still significantly lagging behind iFruit phones.
chip manufacturing is the pinnacle of complex engineering in human industrial civilization, comparable to carving a fully functional, nanometer-precision city on a fingernail-sized wafer. It spans dozens of disciplines, including materials, physics, chemistry, precision machinery, and software engineering.
When the process advances to 7nm and below, silicon-based transistor architectures encounter quantum tunneling effects. Electrons no longer follow classical circuit laws and directly penetrate insulating layers, causing chip leakage and skyrocketing power consumption.
To break through this bottleneck, an upgrade from planar transistors to 3D architectures like GAA is needed, akin to transforming transistors from "single-story houses" to "skyscrapers," exponentially increasing demands on structural design and manufacturing precision.
At the 1nm level, transistor sizes approach the diameter of silicon atoms, about 0.2nm. Atomic-level errors can cause chip failure. Traditional silicon-based materials can no longer support this, requiring advanced alternatives like graphene and silicon carbide.
Solving 1nm chip design and material issues doesn't mean they can be produced; a lithography machine is also needed for manufacturing.
For chips, the lithography machine is the core "carving tool" that etches circuit patterns on a nanometer-precision "canvas," akin to a top-tier scalpel for heart bypass surgery. Without it, even the most precise design blueprint remains theoretical.
Dragon Country's lithography machine technology still lags significantly behind the international advanced level. The main mass-produced machines use deep ultraviolet (DUV) light sources, suitable for large chips in cars, TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, and industrial controls, but not for smartphones.
Although SMIC has achieved 7nm chip manufacturing, the yield is low and costs are high, only meeting specific high-end chip demands.
The world's most advanced lithography machinetechnology is held by Holland's ASML, using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. TSMC, Samsung, and many other integrated circuit manufacturers rely on ASML's lithography machines.
The United States, to curb Dragon Country's development, pressured Holland to impose a lithography machine technology blockade, leaving Dragon Countrychoked in this field.
But now, Gu Yunfan has mastered more advanced 1nm process lithography machine technology than Holland's ASML, along with the world's most advanced 1nm extreme chip R&D technology, successfully breaking through the Western blockade.
The artificial intelligence robot Gu Yunfan is developing requires 3nm-5nm high-end chips. Now, with 1nm chiptechnology, it's like adding wings to a tiger, a timely rain indeed. Otherwise, he'd have to purchase expensive foreign high-end chips.
Brilliant—
After showering, Gu Yunfan lay in bed, silently receiving the System's skill transmission.
Chapter 139: Shocking the Western Aviation Industry, The Group's Employees Worship Him as a God
Early the next morning, in the East Wing Room.
Shen Yinuo was awakened by her alarm clock. She had drunk a bit too much last night, and her head felt heavy and muddled.
Hmm?
It seems like I had a dream last night... Eighth Brotherhelped me to bed... I asked him what he really wanted... He kept me in suspense for a while... Said he wanted me... Then he kissed me... And I also... Oh my god... What kind of messy dream was that?
Shen Yinuo sat up, holding her beautiful hair and shaking her head.
Wait... Was that a dream? Why does it feel so real?
Shen Yinuo subconsciously touched her lips, then lifted the blanket. Seeing she was wearing a base layer and nothing seemed amiss, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
She picked up the honey water on the bedside table, gulped it down in one go, then got up to take a shower. When she came out, she saw An Lingran.
"Good morning, Second Younger Sister, are you going to work?"
"Yes, how about you? Have you sobered up?"
"I'm okay, um..."
Shen Yinuo hesitated for a moment but still spoke up: "Who brought me to my room last night?"
"Did you black out? It was me and Eighth Brother who helped you back."
"Oh... I drank too much, my memory's all jumbled. Then... after you brought me back, what did I say?"
"You wanted to talk to Eighth Brother about the bet. Eighth Brother didn't let me listen, so I went back to sleep first."
"Oh? So that means Eighth Brother stayed in my room for a while?"
"Yeah, what did he ask for? Can you tell me?"
"Hmm..."
Shen Yinuo's heart fluttered, but she pretended to be calm: "I just forgot, that's why I'm asking you."
"I don't know about that."
"Then how long did he stay in my room?"
"About twenty minutes or so. When he left, I had just finished showering. Why?"
"Nothing, I don't remember anything. I'm afraid I might have said something wrong last night."
"What could you possibly say wrong? Alright, I have to go. You can ask Eighth Brother."
An Lingran didn't notice Eldest Sister's unusual behavior at all, and Eldest Sister didn't know she had already boarded Gu Yunfan's pirate ship.
One by one, Mom, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Seventh Sister, and Gu Yunfan got up and came to the dining room for breakfast.
Zhao Siqing held her phone and laughed: "Mom, Eighth Brother, Eldest Sister, overnight, your news has spread all over the world. Let me read you the headlines."
"1. #CEO of General Electric Aviation in the US: The new aviation engine developed by Dragon Country is too shocking!#"
"2. #CEO of Boeing: The development landscape of the world's aviation industry will be reshuffled by Dragon Country#"
"3. #CEO of Airbus: A freshman actually developed the world's most advanced aviation engine?"
Haha... Jiang Yujun reached out to Zhao Siqing for the phone: "Let me see how the foreign media specifically reported it~"
"The foreigners are all stunned~" Zhao Siqing handed over the phone, "You've caused a global sensation~"
The family chatted about the international reactions while having breakfast.
Shen Yinuo glanced at Gu Yunfan from time to time, hiding her thoughts. This subtle detail was caught by Amiya.
What's going on?
Eldest Sister's look at Eighth Brother isn't right... Could it be she's fallen for him too?
Or... have the two of them already gotten involved?
That can't be... Eldest Sister's condition last night was fine... Could it be something happened when Eighth Brother took her back to her room later?
Amiya grew suspicious but wasn't entirely sure because Eldest Sister's reaction was mixed with some confusion. If something really happened, why would she be confused?
Gu Yunfan knew Amiya would figure it out sooner or later, but he didn't care, acting as if nothing had happened.
I'm terrifyingly strong now, who can do anything to me?
I'm a chosen one with a system, what's there to fear! Doing as I please is the right way~
After a simple breakfast.
Jiang Yujun took Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, and Jiang Ruoxito the Beijing International Conference Center to attend the press conference.
Upon arriving at the conference center, Jiang Yujun first went to a small meeting room for a board meeting to discuss specific plans for rewarding Gu Yunfan and the R&D team. The three big red envelopes last night only represented her personal reward; The Group also needed to show appreciation.
"Wow! Look! Young CEO Gu and Eldest Princess, Seventh Princess are here!"
"Young CEO Gu! Congratulations! We saw the news yesterday. Our feelings can be summed up in three words: shocked! proud! proud!"
"Young CEO Gu, you are my god! Can I take a photo with you?"
Employees gathered around Gu Yunfan as soon as they saw him, though some were too embarrassed to approach.
"Sigh, I'm too ashamed to face Young CEO Gu. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, at the work resumption meeting, I said if the aviation engine project could succeed in experiments, I'd lick my way from the Forbidden City gate all the way to Qinhuangdao. A month has passed, and I never expected Young CEO Guto actually succeed."
"Haha~, got slapped in the face, huh? When you get beaten, stand straight. Let me know when you go lick, I'll livestream the whole thing~"
"So embarrassing, I was like a frog in a well. Who could have imagined Young CEO Gu is this strong? Everyone's right, he really is a super versatile genius."
"Convinced now? Knowing he's amazing, show more respect from now on~"
"Yes, yes, I'm so impressed I'm prostrating myself with six limbs. From now on, I'll follow Young CEO Gu's lead!"
"Prostrating with six limbs? That's called prostrating with five limbs, you uncultured!"
"Girl, you don't get it... it's prostrating with six limbs... I won't argue with you... I need to go show my loyalty to Young CEO Gu... The Jiang Group's future depends on him..."
Employees surrounded Gu Yunfan, asking for photos and autographs.
To be honest, Gu Yunfan wasn't very respected in The Group before. In the minds of most employees, he was just a lucky guy chosen by Jiang Yujun, equivalent to the queen's favorite courtier. Everyone was polite to him on the surface, but deep down, they weren't convinced.
However, after yesterday's battle, his prestige in The Group instantly skyrocketed, and everyone from top to bottom genuinely admired him.
Incidentally, Eldest Princess's image in the employees' minds also became more majestic.
"Eighth Brother, come here for a moment. I need to talk to you about something."
After dealing with the employees' enthusiasm, Shen Yinuo couldn't hold back her doubts any longer and called Gu Yunfan into a lounge. Since the topic was sensitive, she didn't even let Jiang Ruoxi in.
"What guidance does Eldest Sister have?"
Gu Yunfan took a good look at Shen Yinuo.
168cm tall, well-proportioned figure, hair tied in a low bun, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a navy blue casual suit, exuding an elegant, intellectual bookishness from inside out, along with a bit of the authority of a teacher and Class Teacher. Her facial features and temperament belong to the standard classical Eastern style.
Shen Yinuo composed herself and said bluntly: "I blacked out last night. After you took me back to my room, what did I talk to you about?"
"Huh? You don't remember at all?"
"Right."
"You came to me to cash in on the promise, asking me what I wanted."
"Hmm~, go on, what did you ask for?"
"I didn't ask for anything. I told you to say it yourself, you..." Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision to check outside the door, pretending to be embarrassed as he covered his face and rubbed it, "Oh dear... I'm too embarrassed to say..."
"What did I say? What's so embarrassing?"
Seeing his shy reaction, Shen Yinuo couldn't help but tense up. Could it be... I really kissed this kid? Cough cough cough...
