The dining hall turned pin-dropped silent as soon as Yao Siya spoke. Even 'The Glutton' Ling Ye Ming found it hard to focus on foods.
WINGS !!
The only word echoed thier ears was "Wings".
What's more, Yao Siya just told it was an auto pilot helicopter project. So at first, they all thought of the legendary "Wings" which caused uproar both in military and underworld few years ago.
But within a second, they dismissed the idea. It was too hard to believe a timid little girl like Yao Siya could design such an aircraft like "Wings" which required 6G technology or it was at least rumored about "Wings".
Almost two years ago, rumors about "Wings" spread like an wildfire which shook not only the domestic market but also the entire world. It was said that a cutting the edge auto pilot helicopter with 6G technology was being built which was called "Wings".
Initially, a large number of companies tried to claim their ownership on "Wings". But none of those could provide a simple 6G technology device let alone brought in "Wings" for real.
Even after two years, only Mushi Group could develop 5.5G softwares. SHF-M1 was one of the best examples of that.
Within these two years, everyone had already assumed "Wings" was nothing but a rumor. But this high end technology's theory was too inspiring even though it was only rumored.
Now the concept of "Wings" was considered as one of the initial steps of revolution 2050 in speed technology.
A certain bunch of 'Peeping Toms' could find only one conclusion that Yao Siya was also inspired by those rumors and started a project and named it "Wings". It was the most possible thing happened.
Mu Qinghai didn't thought much and just asked, "Sister-in-law, did you start your project inspiring of the legendary 'Wings'?"
Yao Siya jolted back into reality and blinked her eyes. Her badly wanted to smack her head hard when she realized that she made a mishap by spilling out "Wings".
She supposed to answer one of her simple projects but cat was now out of bag. So she needed to continue her story with her "Wings".
Okay... it was still affordable.
Worse came to worst, they would discover links between "Wings" and her master. Either way she planned to let them know sooner or later as she had her own purpose.
Moreover, it was a sign of relief to her that they had assumed an answer by themselves and got composed even thought they were clearly too shocked. Convincing them would be easier now.
Aside from being surprised, Mu Qinzhe also had a little hint of pride on his face as he curled his lips upper a little. It confused Yao Siya for a while but she regained her compose and pretended to be oblivious to Mu Qinzhe's pride.
She focused on the situation and it was easy to her to figure out, all of them assumed that she was an extraordinary talent with huge potential. So she adjusted her storyline according to that and her story turned foolproof once again.
But what Yao Siya failed to notice was the flash of unfathomable glint in Mu Qinzhe's eyes as she was busy to adjust her storyline and unconsciously let her guards down for a while.
She activated her acting mode once again. Bitting her lower lip, she squeezed her eyes shut and leaned her forehead against her fisted knuckles on the table as if she were at a loss what to do.
But her little posture also informed she was clearly hesitant.
She only raised her eyes perceiving too much intense gaze of curiosity from others and opened her mouth to say something but paused as if she didn't know from how to respond.
Out of blue, a big hand patted her back of her head and its owner told in a husky yet soothing voice, "No need to force yourself."
Others in the room (except Yao Siya) dropped their jaw in awe. They didn't have any option but believe that they were just attacked by Mu Qinzhe's sudden 'Public Display of Affection'.
Unlike them, Yao Siya was freezed at her spot as she was comforted by the only person whom she couldn't see through clearly. She couldn't stop himself looking at him with a complicated gaze.
It was her sixth sense that speaking something wasn't right as it seemed. And it must be.
She was more than sure that Mu Qinzhe had already doubted on her identity. All she needed to find out what kind of tricks Mu Qinzhe was going to pull this time.
He acted pretty understanding which pretending to comfort her despite doubting on her identity. So, he wanted her to continue this act while let her think none could see though her.
She was shocked by her own realization. This sly fox Mu Qinzhe clearly knew she was acting yet he played fool to fool her by letting her thinking she was fooling others.
'What a cunning move, old fox!' Yao Siya couldn't stop herself from 'praising' Mu Qinzhe. Too bad she found it out little earlier.
From the very beginning, Yao Siya assumed Mu Qinzhe wasn't going to fall for her acting at least not too easily when he already doubted on her identity. Without his knowing, his acting along with her was the very thing alerted her in time.
So if Mu Qinzhe wanted to play fool, she would show him how it was played. She quickly averted her gaze from Mu Qinzhe as a slight glint of slyness flashed through her eyes.
She let out a loud sigh and faced others as if she made her final decision. Others focus transfered on her.
Taking a deep breath of course pretending, she was mustering up her courage and finally she dropped the bomb, "The real 'Wings'... is... my creation... I designed 'Wings'."
Once again a deadly silence took reign over the whole Dining Area. None of them ever expected this outcome of their curiosity.
Mu Qinghai couldn't held himself anymore asked in a pleading tone, "Sister-in-law, please tell me it was a joke."
There flashed pain and bitterness deep in her hazel eyes as she smiled self-mockingly (pure adulterated). She replied sarcastically, "J-oke, in-deed."
Her eyes were squeezed shut once again as she leaned against the backrest. Without any close inspection, one could easily trace a bitter gloominess revolving around her.
A certain bunch of "Peeping Toms" started feeling uneasy as the slight hoarseness in her voice triggered their guilt towards her.
Especially Mu Qinghai was on the venge of dying for touching his best Sister-in-law's sore point.
The whole room turned silent once again. Unexpectedly, Ling Ye Ming opened his mouth to avert the overbearing silence in Dining Area, "Wings.. that really exists."
Yao Siya opened her eyes as soon as she heard Ling Ye Ming. Though her gaze seemed dimmed and lifeless, there was still a faint trace of hope depth in her eyes.
Lowering her eyes, she continued in confusion, "It... it was just mathe-matically proved... and umm... still in-n drafts. It sho-uld exist, right?" Expectations glimmerd clear in those hazel eyes.
Though he was little dumbstruck, Ling Ye Ming assured her, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law. Your 'Wings' does exist."
Yao Siya's eyes twinkled with pure bliss and gratitude. Ling Ye Ming overpassed this and started his interrogation, "Sister-in-law, then what happened two years ago that 'Wings' became a legend?"
Yao Siya paused for a moment as if she tried to recall something. After a while, she started her story, "Back then, umm.. I p.. participated in a com-petition umm... on coding for-r a full time scholar-ship a...and a job... under Lin Cor-poration and-d I won it.
When-n I got prize, they offered-d me, my job umm... that would be perma-nent after higher study if-f I could submit a new umm... theory or idea or something. I agreed and umm... nearly 3 months..s later, I sub-mitted my idea... of 'Especial USB drive'.
Fe... few days later, I got a call ummm... from Assistant Chen... he umm... asked me... to bring dra-fts of... the USB drive. I.. didn't thought much... jus-t took my dra-ft book to Lin Cor-poration.
W-what I never imagined-d... he... he would directly... umm... take me to the.... President and the p-president...."
Before Yao Siya could continue, Mu Qinzhe cut her down, "You met Old President Lin, right?"
Yao Siya whispered in agitation and regret, "I wish... I could meet Grandpa Lin.... once more."
