Volume 1 Chapter 85 (1/2)

Fluorescent Grass

Leaving the «Banta Times» office, Xu Yi went to the research lab to the west of the city.

After knocking on the door, the one who answered was Evita and not Akali who chose to live on the first floor.

Seeing Xu Yi, Evita revealed a somewhat surprised and somewhat happy expression.

“Chairman, why are you here?”

Xu Yi pointed at his stomach with a smile and said, “Vivian is out on an autumn outing with her classmates today, so no one is home to make a meal for me. I don’t want to eat at a restaurant, so I came here to mooch off you. You won’t welcome me?”

Evita revealed a faint smile, “Of course you’re welcome, please come in.”

Xu Yi shook his head with a smile. It it was Akali here, she would definitely tease him a few times. Evita’s personality was completely different from Akali’s, she was much more calm.

After walking around and not seeing Akali around, Xu Yi casually asked, “Where’s Akali?”

“She’s out today.” Evita replied.

“Went out?” Xu Yi was surprised, “What? She had something to do?”

Evita revealed a faint smile, “Sir chairman, did you forget that today is Sunday? You said yourself that you would give us Sunday off each week.”

“Of? Right, I forgot and I even said I wanted to see your research progress.” Xu Yi patted his head, thinking that he really was too busy, even forgetting what day of the week it was. He looked at Evita and notice that there was a thick apron outside of her clothes, “Since it’s Sunday, why are you still wearing this? Could it be you’re still working?”

When mentioning work, Evita’s eyes instantly lit up, “Chairman, I had some new discoveries lately and wanted to research it with you. You came right on time today, do you want to see my new discoveries first?”

“Oh? New discoveries, what is it about? Is it the Magic Air Conditioner?” Xu Yi asked.

It was about to become winter soon, so Xu Yi had given Still’s group of three a new research task, which was to make a new Magic Air Conditioner.

The first generation Magic Air Conditioner was a cold air conditioner for the summer. Now that the weather was getting colder, Xu Yi had them research a Magic Air Conditioner that could release cool and hot air.

Of course, what they needed to solve first was the Magic Array for the heat controlling side.

Who would have thought that Evita would shake her head, “No, it is related to the Magic Lamp.”

Xu Yi was a bit surprised, “This quickly? You’ve solved the consistency problem of the Flashing Thunder Array in just a few days?”

Evita shook her head again, “Although we’ve had some progress, we haven’t really solved the problem yet. I’m talking about another new discovery.”

“What is that?” Xu Yi asked in a confused voice.

“I’m afraid you won’t understand if I explain, so let me show you.” Evita waved her hand at Xu Yi before heading to the second floor.

Xu Yi hesitated a bit before calming down and giving himself a smile of self ridicule before following her up.

He had already come to the research lab many times, but this was his first time on the second floor.

Compared to the mess on the first floor, the second floor was incomparably neat. Looking at it, everything was neatly put away and very clean, even the workbench materials were meticulously put in place, not showing any signs of mess at all.

Other than this, Evita even put a few flower pots in this room that was considered spacious. Even though it was close to winter, these plants lush and vibrant, adding a bit of life to the room.

Xu Yi looked around and saw many decorations on the walls that seemed to be made of rags.

The material was simple, but it was finely designed, with a bit of elegance and a bit of cuteness. It wasn’t inferior at all to the ornaments designed by professional craftsmen in stores at all.

“Evita, you made of this yourself?” Xu Yi pointed at a rag in the shape of a flower on the wall to his right.

A blush filled Evita’s face as she gave a slight nod.

“Your hands are truly skilled.” Xu Yi praised before sighing, “You can even do this kind of thing. If it was Akali or Still, I really wouldn’t be able to imagine it.”
