The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 302

Chapter 302: 302

The people next to him were still persuading him, but Manager Mo had already taken off his coat and put on the white aluminum foil workwear placed aside; he didn’t wear a helmet. "This thing obstructs the view and is not conducive to the loading of real data." With that one sentence, he silenced everyone around him.

"Kid, are you coming or not?" There was only one set of clothes, and Manager Mo handed over his helmet.

Ye Tian took the helmet, "Bring it on! Us grown men aren’t scared of death, let alone driving a car!"

Ponytail’s spit flying around, "What’s all this talk about dying? Watch your words! If you can’t talk nicely, don’t say anything at all. It’s your honor to be asked to test drive the car, don’t really think it’s about becoming an assistant..."

"Enough talk, let’s test drive."

Ye Tian chuckled wryly to himself. Wasn’t that the case? There was only one set of clothes. He was all fired up to go, yet it turned out they intended him to drive all along, and Manager Mo probably just waltzed in midway and got involved. But thinking about it, this person wasn’t too bad either; after all, he had taken the driver’s seat.

"Be careful, Manager Mo."

A crowd gathered by the window, almost like they were bidding farewell to someone about to die. Manager Mo waved his hand, signaling for the crowd to disperse, and then said to Ye Tian, "It’s nothing. Just a straight-line acceleration and a torque drive test. Don’t worry, we’ve got airbags and a titanium alloy bumper."

Ye Tian nodded.

"You keep an eye on the data on the dashboard for me. I won’t lie, I’m fearless but not the best driver. I brought you in to prevent them from giving you a hard time."

A wave of warmth flooded his chest.

The car started, slowly getting into action. Ye Tian was surprised; there was no sound? He looked again, and a battery indicator on the dashboard was glowing with a faint blue light. It was an electric car, Ye Tian realized.

The car’s speed increased: 120, 130, 150, 160... The speed kept climbing, but it got stuck at 220 and couldn’t go any faster. Manager Mo then hit the brakes, and amidst a shrill noise, the car came to a steady stop within two seconds. The braking system was quite impressive.

"The top speed is still a bit off, the common flaw of electric cars," said Manager Mo. Then he turned his head, "Why aren’t you wearing the helmet?"

Ye Tian pointed at the dashboard, "I was worried I couldn’t see clearly."

Manager Mo nodded, "There’s one more thing, the torque drive test."

"How is that done?"

"Climbing uphill. Then turning."

Ye Tian was estimating that the turning part would probably involve braking and tail flicking.

In the hall, there was a testing ramp with various angles available. Ye Tian couldn’t help but be impressed; all these setups could have been implemented outdoors at a much lower cost and in conditions that more closely matched real-world scenarios. Even experts can be muddleheaded sometimes.

The subsequent experiments weren’t very impressive; the torque drive test he had imagined wasn’t about dramatic car tailflicking, but rather just simply taking a few turns. Nothing dangerous at all!

"These are just simple tests. We have a client coming to check on progress, needing some data urgently. The actual thorough testing requires professional test drivers; that’s where the real skill is, not inferior to those movie racing heroes."

Ye Tian nodded and voiced his earlier concern, "Why not carry out these tests outdoors? There’s no need for all these devices here, and it would be cheaper as well."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Tian regretted them. He realized there was a status gap between them, and it wasn’t his place to ask such questions. Manager Mo didn’t mind and unbuckled his seat belt, "It’s nothing, just for business confidentiality."

Ye Tian suddenly understood.

"Manager Mo, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Liu, quick, call the doctor over to check on Manager Mo."

Chatter filled the air, everything in a mess. Ye Tian unbuckled his seat belt, preparing to get out of the car, but as he turned around, he saw a metal nameplate on the floor, identical to the one he had, probably dropped by Manager Mo just now. Ye Tian discreetly picked it up and pocketed it.

The crowd was still fussing over Manager Mo. Ye Tian looked around, decided he had no role to play here and might as well leave. Right then, Ponytail came over—the one indeed here to see the guests out. "Thank you for your help just now, you can go."

Seeing her outstretched hand, Ye Tian knew she was asking for the metal nameplate. He didn’t play coy and simply took out the nameplate and handed it over.

"Hey, this way."

Just as Ye Tian was about to turn around, he heard a shout from behind. Looking back, it was Ponytail again, lifting her arm and pointing towards another elevator, "Go that way."

Ye Tian wasn’t surprised by Ponytail’s words; he had come down a special passage and naturally had to leave by the ordinary route. He smiled and nodded at her, only to find she had turned and walked back into the crowd to show Manager Mo concern. Ye Tian let out a cold laugh. Serves him right for that small butt—Pig Hu wouldn’t give it a second glance!

As he walked, there was a ding-dong, and the elevator across opened. A group of people hurried over, and Ye Tian turned around, heading back the way he came. Fuck, why did he have to bump into her now!

The person emerging from the elevator was Mo Yan, followed by a group of high-ranking individuals. Her black down jacket made her stand out among those in office attire, but it didn’t affect her imposing aura in the slightest.

"Manager Mo, why did you test drive the car yourself? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?"

The voice was scolding, but the eyes were full of concern.

Manager Mo didn’t take it to heart, standing upright, not looking aside, "Reporting to the leadership, I think it’s just a simple test drive, there’s no danger."

"Hmph, we’ll settle this later," Mo Yan turned and looked at the engineers around her, holding notebooks and computers, "Where did the test driver go?"

Someone with glasses and "Ph.D." on their name card said, "The test driver is adjusting the vehicle for a customer and couldn’t come back at the moment."

"We should recruit more test drivers; in their positions, they should seek their responsibilities. What is the HR manager doing? If staffing is inadequate, next time let him drive."

No one around dared to speak again.

Speaking of recruitment, Manager Mo remembered the security guard who had test-driven with him earlier, "That security guard who test-drove with me did have some guts. With some training, he could be good material."

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, "Security guard?"

"Yes, he was just... eh, where did he go?"

Idiots would stay there. Ye Tian understood in his heart, Tang Su wasn’t here at all. Moreover, Mo Yan didn’t take Tang Su’s condition seriously at all, still having the mindset to test drive here. Damn it, still thinking about test driving here, with solar energy? Electric vehicles, huh? Fine, I quit playing!
