Chapter 828: Want to Switch Cars?
Luo Wenxuan: “…!”
Lu Zhou: “…?”
Luo Wenxuan thought, F*ck, did he really watch a movie with a girl?
Lu Zhou thought, F*ck, when did I watch it again?
Honest to God, Lu Zhou couldn’t remember when he watched the movie.
“Long time no see,” Chen Yushan said. She sat across from Lu Zhou and asked, “Do you miss me?”
Lu Zhou curiously asked, “How did you find me?”
Chen Yushan smirked and replied proudly, “When you were still an undergrad, you would always sit at this spot in the cafeteria. Your assistant told me you went to the cafeteria, so I knew you were here.”
Lu Zhou: “… I can’t believe you remember that.”
Luo Wenxuan looked at the pretty girl, then looked at Lu Zhou. A light bulb went off in Luo Wenxuan’s mind, and he said, “… Should I, head off?”
Lu Zhou: “Yeah sure, you can head off.”
Luo Wenxuan: “…”
I thought he was going to let me stay.
Fortunately, Luo Wenxuan was almost finished with his meal. He ate the last couple of bites and stood up.
Luo Wenxuan gave Lu Zhou a look of goodbye before leaving.
Chen Yushan sat in his spot, which was directly across from Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou felt like she had something to say, so he asked, “Do you need anything?”
Chen Yushan blinked her eyes and said, “I’m not allowed to talk to my friend without needing something?”
Lu Zhou: “That’s not what I meant…”
Lu Zhou was just surprised.
Seeing how confused Lu Zhou was, Chen Yushan smiled and said, “Okay okay, it’s nothing big… I always see you riding in that black sedan. Are you interested in changing vehicles?”
“I don’t know a lot about cars.” Lu Zhou looked helpless and said, “But I have been wanting to switch it up a little… Do you have a suggestion?”
Chen Yushan smirked and said, “I’ve already arranged it for you.”
Lu Zhou said, “Did you… already buy it?”
Chen Yushan said, “Not buy, someone else gave it to you. Remember last year when we invested in Zhongshan New Materials and began cooperating with BYD on the lithium-sulfur battery project?”
What, that happened?
Lu Zhou thought about it and shook his head honestly. “I don’t remember.”
Chen Yushan said, “I nearly forgot, you’re a useless chairman.”
Lu Zhou asked, “What does this have to do with BYD?”
“Around this time last year, there was an Alternative Energy Vehicle summit, right? The battery standardization plans are finally in place. In order to dominate the alternative energy vehicles, BYD launched a mid-range electric vehicle as well as a high-end one, and these vehicles were named ‘Light of God’ and ‘Electric Purple’. Apparently, their mileage range is up to 2,000 kilometers.”
When Lu Zhou heard this number, he had a surprised look on his face.
“It’s able to reach 2,000 kilometers?”
“All thanks to your lithium-sulfur batteries.”
Chen Yushan said, “As a thank you to us, or to you, BYD designed a special Electric Purple vehicle and gave it to our company. There is only one model in the world. Apparently, the control performance is first-class and the design is pretty cool. Are you interested? If you don’t want it, I’ll take it.”
Lu Zhou instantly said, “I want it! Why wouldn’t I want it? I want to change cars anyway.”
Chen Yushan knew Lu Zhou would say this, so she said, “Okay, I’ll give you the car when it arrives. Remember to give me a ride sometimes.”
Lu Zhou: “There’s really only one in the world?”
Chen Yushan nodded and said, “Yep, just one.”
Lu Zhou joked, “Hope that they won’t make any more of it…”
Chen Yushan smiled and said, “Of course they wouldn’t, and if they do, I’ll complain to them for you.”
There was no way BYD would do anything to offend Lu Zhou. With the research and development capabilities of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Star Sky Technology’s place in the battery world was like Qualcomm’s place in the chip world. Star Sky Technology was the father of alternative energy vehicles and mobile batteries.
Therefore, it was important for BYD to have a good relationship with Lu Zhou…
“Forget about the car.” Chen Yushan placed her arms on the table and said, “There’s something else I came to talk to you about.”
Lu Zhou said, “What?”
Chen Yushan: “The day after tomorrow, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development will come to Jinling. The city council called us and said that their first stop is going to be Star Sky Technology. Are you free the day after tomorrow?”
Lu Zhou: “Do I have to go?”
Chen Yushan: “It’d be best if you could. After all, you are the chairman.”
Lu Zhou: “I’ll go if I have time… Oh yeah, when will the car arrive?”
“Within a week, what, you’re interested in cars now?” Chen Yushan said.
Lu Zhou: “… A little bit.”
Lu Zhou didn’t know a lot about cars. He was just curious about what this one-of-a-kind electric sports car was like.
Chen Yushan smirked and looked at Lu Zhou flirtatiously as she said, “I never knew that you were into cars, I thought you were only interested in research.”
Lu Zhou: “Of course I am, I have a lot of hobbies.”
Chen Yushan curiously asked, “Like what?”
“Like…”
Lu Zhou’s eyebrows furrowed as he tried to think of a hobby. However, he realized all of his hobbies were related to academia or research.
He looked at his bowl of half-eaten rice and said, “Barbecued meat?”
This was probably his only hobby outside of work. Chen Yushan began to laugh at him.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and said awkwardly, “Hey, what are you laughing about?”
With one hand covering her stomach, Chen Yushan said, “Nothing, I just think… You’re pretty unique sometimes.”
Lu Zhou: “…?”
What the hell does she mean?
What’s so unique?
