nIf they could not mass produce it, Lu Ming Corporation might collapse.

n

n

n‘Then the Tang family would have a chance to swallow them up and take the new energy technology and flying car as their own! Their achievements would all go to someone else. At the thought of this, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.

n‘There was no way out.

nHe fell into despair once again.

nHe had used all his connections to secure the partnerships, but they were cut off by the Tang family in just a few days. They even used their power to suppress them.

nIt was terrible.

n

n

nHe did not know what to do to salvage the situation.

n“Sigh.”

nHe Xiaopeng lay on the back of the car. He wondered if he was not suited to do big things. Perhaps… ‘m too incompetent? I can’t even do such a small thing. I’ve really let down those people’s trust in me.

nIneed you and your talents!

n

n

nLu Ming’s words from back then echoed in his mind again. He rubbed his reddened eyes. His boss trusted him so much. How could he give up just like that?

nHe pulled himself together and thought to himself that they have to deliver the best results successfully at the upcoming Global Automotive Development Forum, which would be held in three months.

nIn other words, the car had to be mass-produced within three months! Time was tight, and he had to grasp every minute and second. He could not continue to be so dispirited! He had to do what he could!

nAt the thought of this, he took out his slightly hot phone and dialed a number. “The suppliers that we had previously engaged have all defaulted. They would rather pay the penalty than continue working together. I hope you can prepare the team for this.”

n“What?!”

nUpon hearing this, Xia Heng asked in disbelief, “Are you sure? They all broke the agreement? How is that possible?! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”

n“Tm sure. I’ve already met them personally. For now, we’ll just make as many cars as we can. I’ll think of a way as soon as possible. Who knows, we might suddenly work overtime like crazy when we get close to the deadline.”

nHe Xiaopeng said with a grave expression. He hoped that everyone in the team was a night owl.

n

n

n“Okay, I understand. I’ll try to calm them down.”

nIt would be bad if working overtime suddenly gave them a nervous breakdown.

nAfter hanging up, Xia Heng clapped three times to attract the attention of the others and said, “Something happened to the supply chain at the last minute. Do as much as you can now. Brother Peng has already tried his best to negotiate. It might be hard on you in the future. You have to make enough

nwithin a short timeframe!”

n‘When this news was out, everyone’s expression turned ugly!

n“E*ck! It can’t be, right? We barely made it according to the plan, and now there’s actually a problem? Oh my god! I feel like I can’t breathe! Our factory doesn’t have many people to begin with, and we still have to do this and that! Just thinking about it makes me tired!”

n“wish I was dreaming! I thought that I could completely relax after producing a prototype, but who knew that I would have to work overnight? Although the salary is indeed quite high, but… compared to this, I’d rather have less salary and easier work.”

n“Twant to jump ship. This is too tiring, right? Even a donkey from the production team can’t be so rushed, right? I want to die on the spot. I really don’t want to face this reality. My body and mind are exhausted. After finishing this job, I definitely need to rest for more than half a year to adjust!”

nHe Xiaopeng called Lu Ming again. “Boss, those suppliers regret their decision at the last minute and are unwilling to collaborate with us. The Tang family is behind this. They did it to stop us.”

n“Tang family?”

nLu Ming, who was in the office, was a little surprised. He had thought that the Tang family did not exist at the moment! He did not expect the other party to come knocking on his door!

nHe chuckled and said, “Interesting,”

n

n

nAn unexpected response.

nHowever, for some reason, He Xiaopeng felt relieved. He could not help but ask, “Boss, did you expect this?”

n“Who do you think I am? A god?”

nLu Ming continued, “This is not difficult. I have already prepared a backup plan. We can definitely build the target number of cars within the specified time.”

nA gasp could be heard from the other end. Everything is ready. If he’s not a god, what is he?he thought.

nHe Xiaopeng’s tense nerves finally relaxed. “That’s good, that’s good. Oh right, I told Xia Heng about this just now. You can tell them the good news too!”

n“Okay.”

nPutting away his cell phone, Lu Ming put down his pen and rushed to the factory. The moment he entered, he noticed that the people looked a lot more dispirited. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Why do you look like you are not fully awake?”

n“Tjust heard bad news.”

nHe Tao went forward and asked softly, “Have you thought of a solution to the matter of the spare parts?”

nThe employees who were working pricked their ears.

nSeeing this, Lu Ming could not help but laugh. “I came here to talk about this. Since everyone is here, let’s put down our work and listen to me.”

nThey obediently put down their work and looked at him.

n“Tknow that you guys contributed greatly to the successful production of the new car. When I came over previously, I saw some of you sleeping on the ground from exhaustion. The effort you guys put in is definitely not less than mine. Now, you guys have to make a certain number of cars in a hurry. I

nthink anyone would be frustrated.”

n

n

nLu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “But you don’t have to worry. I will resolve this matter. I won’t let you bear all the pressure! Buck up! My requirements are not high. Do as much as you can. At the same time, I hope that you can guarantee the quality!

nThink of the shocked gazes of future generations when cars are launched! Think of how your family would look like sitting in a car that you personally designed! I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. You’ve put in all your effort, so I’ll naturally return the favor! After the mass production is over, each of

nour employees—above middle management—will be rewarded with 2 million yuan! Each of our front-line employees will receive 500 thousand yuan!”

nIn his opinion, monetary reward was the most practical thing to give. After all, in life, money was needed for everything.

n‘When those employees heard this, their eyes lit up!

n“Two million yuan!? What the f*ck! Boss is so generous! This is the first time I’ve seen such a big reward! I suddenly feel hot-blooded! Working overtime is not a problem!”

n“So that’s what happened! The last time, I fell asleep on the floor in a daze, but when I woke up, I found myself in the lounge. I thought it was a colleague who did that! I didn’t expect it to be the boss! Isn’t this too gentle?”

n“I told my family that I’m researching this project. I even promised them that I’ll bring them out to play after I’m done! Wouldn’t it be cool to drive a new car out?! That’d be pretty cool!”
