Chapter 121: Director Zheng’s Doubts

The moment Director Zheng heard the name, his expression changed instantly. “Fu Mingxue? You’re Fu Mingxue?”

Now it was Fu Mingxue’s turn to be a little taken aback.

Why is the department head so worked up?

Does he know her?

Then she remembered her exam scores.

“Yes, I’m Fu Mingxue.”

“Come in and talk,” Director Zheng said, not bothering to step outside.

They returned to his office.

Fu Mingxue followed him in.

“Fu Mingxue, what brings you here?” Director Zheng was clearly delighted to meet the student who had achieved such outstanding results.

This was the kind of talent that would become the backbone of the country’s future!

Fu Mingxue didn’t waste any words. She pulled a folded blueprint out of her green satchel.

“Director Zheng, this is a design I’ve been working on for a while. It’s an improvement to an engine power unit.”

Director Zheng: …?

Did he hear that right?

An improvement to an engine power unit?

But…didn’t she just get admitted?

He took the blueprint from her, suspicion in his eyes—but as soon as his gaze landed on the design, his eyes lit up in astonishment.

“This is my preliminary draft. Once this new engine is developed, it can be used in airplanes and other aerospace fields.”

Director Zheng was so excited his hands trembled slightly.

Anyone with expertise could tell at a glance how important this blueprint was.

He looked up. “Did you really draw this?”

Fu Mingxue didn’t blame him for doubting her—anyone would.

She nodded. “Yes, I drew it. I just finished it last night.”

“This isn’t something you can fake. If you really drew it, explain these sections to me first—”

Director Zheng was strict for a reason. He had to be absolutely sure she was the one who drew it.

The value of this blueprint was extraordinary—extremely important.

Fu Mingxue followed his finger and explained each section fluently and clearly.

Half an hour later, Director Zheng was completely convinced that the blueprint had indeed been drawn by the young woman in front of him.

His expression grew serious. “Come on, let’s go to the research institute right now.”

“Huh, right now?”

“Yes,” Director Zheng nodded solemnly.

“—Alright! But my family is still waiting for me at the registration office. Let me tell them first so they can go home on their own.”

“Okay.” After saying this, Director Zheng thought for a moment and added, “I’ll go with you. Then we’ll leave together.”

Fu Mingxue: …?

Is it really that urgent?

“—Alright!”

The two of them quickly made their way to the registration office.

“Mom—”

At her call, both of her mothers looked up at the same time.

“Mingxue, what’s going on—”

“Mom, I have something to do with Director Zheng. I won’t be able to show you around campus today, and I can’t go home with you either. How about you two take a walk around on your own and head back when you’re done?”

Mother Qin was a little stunned at first, but then nodded. “—Alright, don’t worry about us. Just do what you need to do. We’ll take care of the kids.”

“Okay, that’s settled. I’m going now.” Fu Mingxue turned to the still somewhat shocked Director Zheng. “Director Zheng, let’s go!”

Director Zheng snapped back to his senses. “Ah, right!”

But he couldn’t help asking quickly, “Are you married? Two kids?”

Fu Mingxue answered straightforwardly, “Yes, I’m married. These are both my children.”

Director Zheng: …?

So young and promising, and already married with kids?

Mother Qin noticed the department head’s expression and quickly explained, “Director Zheng, these are the children of my son’s comrade, whom he adopted.”

She didn’t want anything to affect her daughter-in-law’s future prospects.
