Chapter 186: Da Yizi watches the car, Xu Yuexin watches her legs

Xu Yuexin was sitting on the sofa, and when Chen Yixue said that, he immediately slumped back, closing his eyes.

A hundred percent slacking posture.

"Ha… what did I say?"

Xu Yuexin yawned and asked leisurely.

Chen Yixue saw Xu Yuexin pretending to understand while actually being confused, and her face grew even more displeased.

"You know what you said yourself."

Chen Yixue walked up to Xu Yuexin, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and warned, "This is the first time, and also the last."

Chen Yixue has her limits; she cannot allow Xu Yuexin to, like today, act as a married couple with her in public.

"If I say it again… what will happen?"

Xu Yuexin slowly opened his eyes and asked nonchalantly.

"If I say it again, I'll leave."

"Oh, go ahead."

"If you want to go, go."

Da Yizi finished speaking and really walked toward the deep part of the living room, intending to take the suitcase.

Xu Yuexin grabbed her wrist in one go: "Wait, I'm not done yet."

"Anything else? Say it quickly."

Da Yizi tried to pull her wrist free, saying.

"I've already arranged the newspapers and media for you; in a couple of days they'll publish a report about you."

"If you leave now, wouldn't that be a pity?"

"Pity is pity; a person cannot have no limits."

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"I called Qiao Qiao and told her you won't return for a while."

"If you go back now, and she asks why, what will you answer?"

"Don't trouble yourself; I'll figure it out myself."

"If she asks about me, what should I answer? Please help me think."

"I want to go on my own."

"I can't think of one."

Xu Yuexin smiled brightly, stood up, and embraced Da Yizi, saying, "If she asks me, I can only tell the real reason."

Da Yizi realized Xu Yuexin was threatening her, so she glared at him fiercely and struggled out of his arms.

"Speak, at worst we both die together."

Da Yizi's beautiful eyes flashed with tears, and she said emotionally, "Anyway, I've had enough."

"Hey, don't die while you're still alive."

Xu Yuexin comforted Da Yizi, "We don't go out to meet people every day; what's wrong with pretending to be a married couple once in a while?"

"It's not a matter of frequency, it's a matter of limits."

Speaking of that, Da Yizi's tears were about to fall, "Since we met, I've kept yielding time after time."

"This time, I don't want to yield, okay?"

That really got Da Yizi angry.

Xu Yuexin, seeing this, thought, considering whether he should use a delaying tactic.

Anyway, as he said, there's still a long time before the next outing with Da Yizi, so soothing her emotions is more urgent now.

Thinking of that, Xu Yuexin smiled.

"Well, I didn't say it's impossible."

"Please don't cry first, okay?"

Xu Yuexin lightly patted Da Yizi's shoulder and comforted her.

"I'm not crying."

Da Yizi, with her rosy eyes reddened, pushed his hand away and said, "Promise me you won't speak like today again."

"Alright, I promise."

"Let's sit down and talk properly."

"You say it all."

Da Yizi, having learned Xu Yuexin's evasion skills, left no loophole as she said.

"I promise that in public I won't act as a married couple with you again, okay?"

"What if I break it?"

"If I break it… I haven't decided yet."

Xu Yuexin scratched his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"No, it must be said today."

"Deal, we'll settle it tonight."

Xu Yuexin easily spotted the loophole in Da Yizi's words and immediately used it, "Remember to come to my room tonight; I'll guarantee it to you face‑to‑face."

"Dream on."

Da Yizi sneered, "I mean you finish your words right now."

After that night, Da Yizi bought a new quilt and pillow from outside and kept sleeping in the next‑door bedroom.

She now truly knows exactly what Xu Yuexin is thinking.

I won't.

This time it was Xu Yuexin's turn to be tough, "Anyway, come if you want, or not."

Da Yizi gave him a glance without speaking, kept a cold face, and went upstairs.

After being worn down by Xu Yuexin for so long, Da Yizi let off some steam.

Even if Xu Yuexin might later seem to be shirking, Da Yizi was too lazy to bother.

…

The next morning, Kwai Chung Factory went into production, and Xu Yuexin planned to go see it as scheduled.

Da Yizi didn't go with Xu Yuexin this time, because she didn't want to appear with him as a married couple in public.

Upon arriving at the factory, Xu Yuexin saw the engineers standing by the assembly line with technical support staff dispatched by Intel, discussing chip manufacturing matters.

Mei Naizi had brought these engineers for him; they were industry elites, top‑notch in technology.

Negotiating with Intel's people was mainly to understand the characteristics of their patents, improve chip yield, and increase profit.

When they saw Xu Yuexin approaching, the engineers tried to greet him, but Xu Yuexin stopped them.

"You continue your discussion; you don't need to worry about me."

As a boss, Xu Yuexin's belief is to trust and rely on the technical staff.

Especially in a technology‑intensive industry like chip manufacturing, there's no need to interrupt their technical exchange for the sake of a boss's supposed pomp.

Of course, Xu Yuexin wasn't idle while they discussed; he quietly listened from the side.

Although many technical terms were beyond his understanding, he took it as learning. After both sides finished exchanging, Xu Yuexin started chatting with the engineers.

"Estimate it: what can the yield be?"

"It can reach 1.5%; anything higher can't be guaranteed."

The technical supervisor reported honestly.

Xu Yuexin nodded, not surprised.

It's the 1980s now, and the whole industry uses traditional processes for chip manufacturing.

Generally, a traditional process yield of 1% is considered acceptable; 1.5% exceeds the industry average.

Surpassing the industry average is enough; exceeding it means profit.

Once the staff are fully coordinated and everything is on track, they can research new processes, pursue industry leadership, and even breakthrough chip technology.

"Chairman Xu, according to our estimate, we can currently produce 6,000 chips per month."

"The cost will be about 10% lower than the industry average, because our yield control is better."

When the technical supervisor finished answering, the production supervisor stepped forward to report.

"What can the profit be?"

"Based on current costs and market prices, the annual profit can exceed 3,000,000 Hong Kong Dollars."

The production supervisor thought for a moment and replied.

3,000,000 Hong Kong Dollars? Not bad.

The chip industry is currently grueling work; if such profit is real, it's extremely satisfying.

Xu Yuexin's plan is that as long as stable profits can be maintained for a period, he'll increase investment to expand capacity.

With the factory side settled, Xu Yuexin left Kwai Chung and went to a car dealership in Central to look at cars.

After visiting several dealerships, he set his sights on a Rolls‑Royce Silver Spur.

The Rolls‑Royce brand is luxurious enough for everyday driving and sufficiently businesslike for formal occasions, perfectly matching Xu Yuexin's needs.

"Your taste truly is extraordinary, boss."

When she heard Xu Yuexin say he wanted to buy, the Rolls‑Royce female salesperson smiled broadly, "This is the most prestigious, most imposing model we have."

"It's the perfect choice for a young, successful person like you."

"Go for the options."

Xu Yuexin calmly told the salesperson.

"Alright, boss, may I ask if you need an electronic system package…"

The salesperson asked gently and respectfully.

"Add the electronic system, and also show me your other accessories."

Xu Yuexin nodded.

These days, most cars still rely on purely mechanical control systems; electronic systems are truly cutting‑edge technology.

Having become accustomed to driving in later times, Xu Yuexin needs an electronic system to adapt.

After choosing the electronic system, the next step is to customize the audio, curtains, and fashionable roof…

For many of the intermediate details, Xu Yuexin confirmed them with the salesperson, repeatedly deliberating the effects of different accessories together.

This is an 800,000 Hong Kong Dollar top‑tier luxury car; before purchase, every detail must be perfect.

By the afternoon, Xu Yuexin finally drove the brand‑new Rolls‑Royce Silver Spur out of the dealership, heading toward Taiping Shan.

Arriving at his home, Xu Yuexin opened the car door, got out, walked to the Tong Yi Da Men entrance, and dialed the video phone.

The call connected, and Da Yizi's dignified, beautiful face appeared on the screen.

"Back from Kwai Chung?"

Da Yizi asked over the phone, "Is the factory operation going smoothly?"

"Quite smoothly, and I also bought something."

Xu Yuexin said to Da Yizi, "Come out and take a look."

"What did you buy?"

"You'll know when you come out."

Heh, making a show of mystique.

Da Yizi hung up the phone, and shortly after the villa gate opened.

Da Yizi stepped out of the villa, and as soon as she reached the doorway she saw a very luxurious car parked outside.

"Truly impressive."

She quickened her steps, walked up to him, and asked Xu Yuexin, "What kind of car is this?"

"Rolls‑Royce."

Xu Yuexin patted the hood, said, then opened the door and sat down, "Didn't you want me to take you for a spin?"

"Come in quickly."

Da Yizi then entered from the other side and took the passenger seat.

"The inside of the car is quite spacious."

As soon as Da Yizi stepped into the car, she was won over by the Rolls‑Royce's spacious feel, "The décor is also beautiful."

"This is called luxury."

Xu Yuexin corrected.

"Very well, luxury."

"It must have cost a lot, right?"

"It cost 800,000."

"If you like it, I'll buy you one too."

"No, don't. Save your money."

Da Yizi quickly waved her hand, her gaze carefully inspecting every detail inside the car.

From the seats to the accessories, and the overall design of the cabin, the Rolls‑Royce gave her an extraordinary feeling.

Even though the car remained stationary, Da Yizi already felt as if she were in a dream.

Da Yizi was looking at the car, while Xu Yuexin was watching Da Yizi's beautiful legs.

Today Da Yizi wore a black strapless midi dress; beneath the skirt a pair of slender, white, tender legs were crossed together, making Xu Yuexin's eyes settle on them and reluctant to look away.

"No wonder it cost 800,000; truly luxurious."

A moment later, Da Yizi remarked.

"Hmm, truly white and tender."

Xu Yuexin casually echoed.

What "truly white and tender"? Da Yizi was momentarily distracted, only then noticing that Xu Yuexin's gaze had been fixed on her legs.

Da Yizi then became embarrassed and angry.

"Don't stare randomly."

She pushed Xu Yuexin in displeasure and said.
