Chapter 193: Test successful, time to pick up the car!

Five hours passed. Shen Ci sat, stood, and walked, repeating this a dozen times. The code on the screen was still scrolling rapidly.

In nearly two years, the eight members of the group had written so much code; no wonder programmers end up balding.

She had received news of Li Dao winning the lawsuit in the meantime. Seeing that the celebration banquet was almost upon them, there seemed to be no sign of things ending here.

She had no choice but to call Luo Tianrui over: "How much longer?"

"Tired of waiting?" Luo Tianrui glanced at the time and estimated: "Probably another two or three hours."

Two hours?

Wouldn't that mean waiting until eight o'clock?

"If you have things to do, go ahead. There shouldn't be any problems here; you don't need to wear yourself out with us," Luo Tianrui said.

Shen Ci felt conflicted.

Li Dao's side was having a "celebration banquet," but the result of winning the lawsuit was already a fact; there would be plenty of opportunities to eat after the meal.

But this was different. The other team members had been arriving one after another, and everyone wanted to witness the success of the project together; she felt the same way inside.

"It's fine, I'll wait."

Shen Ci made up her mind, took out her phone, and sent messages to Gu Lianxing and Li Dao to explain the situation.

Time ticked by, second by second. Just as Shen Ci was sitting in the corner, feeling drowsy from waiting, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted in the office area, startling her so much she sprang up from her chair.

"What happened? Did it succeed?"

Shen Ci hurried forward. The members of the Jiang project team and her own team were excitedly high-fiving each other. Luo Tianrui pulled Shen Ci over and pointed to a corner of the screen: "A-Ci, look, the fusion rate is 99.58%. We did it!"

Shen Ci smiled: "That's great, that's great!"

Senior Sister Pei Pei and several seniors were crying with excitement. Thinking of the hard work and persistence over such a long time, wasn't it all for this very moment?

Jiang Yuanyu smiled as he stepped forward to give instructions: "You've all worked hard. Later, we will re-import the fused code into the product and then conduct a comparison test between the old and new data. We will synchronize the data to you then. We'll talk about the signing once the data is out."

"Alright, no problem."

Jiang Yuanyu scanned the crowd and added: "It's almost nine o'clock. If everyone is willing, I'll treat you all to a late-night snack. You must be hungry, right?"

Although Jiang's people had been bringing fruit and snacks throughout, no one had been in the mood to eat at the time. Now that the project was a success, the hunger in everyone's stomachs finally began to creep in.

Luo Tianrui and the others were too shy to nod, but the Jiang employees clamored to go.

Seeing this, Shen Ci said to Luo Tianrui: "Senior Brother, you all go ahead. I won't go; I'm a bit tired today and want to go back and rest early."

"Alright, then you go back early."

Shen Ci said goodbye to Jiang Yuanyu again. Jiang Yuanyu tried to persuade her to stay, but seeing Shen Ci was determined not to go, he didn't force it.

The next morning, Shen Ci arrived at the nearest "Vehicle Management Office" in casual attire to collect her "driver's license," and then took a taxi to the "He He Laosi-Royce" dealership.

It was the same beautiful saleswoman who had received her last time.

"Miss Shen, you're here!"

Upon meeting, the other party warmly stepped forward to welcome her: "The car pickup procedures have all been handled for you. You just need to sign a paper in a moment."

Shen Ci smiled and nodded: "It's a few days earlier than estimated."

"That's right, Miss Shen. It's very normal for there to be some fluctuation in this time. Please come this way and take a look at the car first."

A brand-new "Kulinan" was placed in the center of the dealership hall, surrounded by clusters of flowers, arranged very grandly and luxuriously. This was the exclusive car pickup ceremony, and there was even a standee that read "Congratulations to Miss Shen Ci for becoming a distinguished He He Laosi-Royce owner."

A huge bouquet of flowers was handed to her. Shen Ci cooperatively stood in front of the car to take a photo with it. The store staff set off "ribbon cannons," followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.

Afterward, she followed the salesperson to the VIP room to wait for the signing. Shen Ci casually picked up a "He He Laosi-Royce" magazine on the table to flip through, and ended up taking a fancy to the latest "Phantom" model.

The all-orange color scheme was very eye-catching and fresh. She didn't really like flashy colors, but it should be quite nice to drive occasionally. When she got tired of it, she would just give it to Shen Xing.

Just as the salesperson entered with the documents, Shen Ci held up the magazine and asked: "How is this one?"

The young girl was stunned, then quickly put down the documents in her hand to introduce: "Miss Shen, this is our new autumn "Phantom." Both the car model and the interior have undergone comprehensive upgrades and renewals. It hasn't been launched in the country yet. If you need it, you have to book it in advance, and you'll have to wait until next spring to pick it up."

Shen Ci nodded: "Alright, then help me order one."

Salesperson:!!!

Is it really this casual?

But thinking back to how straightforward this Miss Shen was when she bought the "Kulinan," sure enough, this was the real deal—a true wealthy heiress.

"Then, shall we choose the top trim?" the salesperson asked, recovering her senses.

"Mm," Shen Ci replied softly.

After a series of procedures were completed, Shen Ci finally drove her "Kulinan" out of the 4S dealership. It had to be said, the driving experience of a luxury car was just different. Sitting in the car with the window half-rolled down, revealing only Shen Ci's beautiful side profile wearing sunglasses, other vehicles couldn't help but take a few extra looks as they passed by.

It was truly rare to see a girl driving a Kulinan.

Cool and dashing!

She drove the car back to "Wanjia Denghuo" first. The little security guard at the entrance gate came out to greet her the moment he saw the unfamiliar license plate. When he saw clearly who was driving, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Shen? You bought a new car?"

Shen Ci took off her sunglasses and smiled: "Yes, is it okay?"

"It's really beautiful." The little security guard looked at the car body with amazement, then said to Shen Ci: "You'll need to go to the property management office to register it later so that it will automatically be recognized when entering and exiting the residential area. Let me open the gate for you first."

Shen Ci said thank you, and only after the gate opened did she slowly drive into the residential area. Who knew that just as she drove to the roadside in front of her own home, Shen Ci slowly brought the car to a stop, because she saw what looked like two little kittens on the side of the road.

She got out of the car and walked to the front. The autumn sun was warm, and two little orange kittens were snuggled together. The sunlight spilled onto them, making them squint their eyes in enjoyment. This scene instantly healed Shen Ci.

She loved kittens very much; her social media account bio even had this sentence: "This world cannot be without kittens"!

"Kitty, kitty."

Shen Ci squatted down and called out softly. Kittens all over the world have a unified name, which is "Kitty."

Hearing the sound, the two little guys actually started meowing and approaching Shen Ci. Both kittens had shiny, clean fur, so it was hard to be sure if they were stray cats.

Just then, the property management's sprinkler truck passed by from the front. Seeing Shen Ci playing with the cats, the property management brother politely greeted her: "Hello, Miss Shen."

Shen Ci nodded toward the sun in response: "Brother, are these two stray cats?" ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
