Chapter 182 - 181. What’s your scheme this time?

Chapter 182: 181. What’s your scheme this time?

Old Professor Chen didn’t say a word, still staring intently at the chessboard in front of him.

This silence caught the attention of the duo in the kitchen.

"What’s happening, are you so engrossed in the game?"

After leaving the task of serving dishes to Wen Nuan, Old Madam Chen wiped her hands and took two steps forward, standing in front of the chessboard.

After observing for a while, this very gentle elderly woman smiled very merrily.

"Curious indeed, Old Chen, you’ve actually met your match today!"

"Isn’t that so? Xiao Shu’s chess moves are very peculiar; I’ve never seen them before... Don’t touch this board, we’ll continue later!"

Tang Shu glanced at the folder that she and Wen Nuan had brought, which contained a few design drawings, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

They had come, of course, not just for a meal; with the project deadline looming, they had planned to finalize the design today and assemble the model tomorrow.

Of course, this would all be pending the approval of Chen Han, who was serving as the chief consultant.

After the four of them were seated, Wen Nuan gave a triumphant look.

"How about it, my cooking skills?"

"Quite impressive, they could definitely rival a chef."

"Rival a chef? I have a professional chef’s certificate, you know!"

"???"

This time, Tang Shu was truly shocked, staring at the five dishes and one soup in front of her, unable to respond.

"Sister Nuan, where do you live?"

"What, you want to freeload meals at my place? No way."

"Why not?"

"An occasional meal is fine, but if you get enough of it, what if you decide not to participate in my projects?"

Wen Nuan remembered the scene of their first negotiation when they met. She was quite certain that Xiao Shu had agreed to secretly create Sleeve Arrow solely for the money involved.

However... now Tang Shu was no longer short of money.

With her TV dramas and subsequent movies garnering attention, Tang Shu’s fame was only increasing, naturally bringing her more money, and accordingly, her spare time was growing scarcer.

The person in question was once again speechless.

Old Professor Chen, who was drinking soup, joined the conversation, "No worries, Xiao Shu, you can have it often if you visit frequently, and you can play a few more games with me while you’re at it."

Wen Nuan was dumbfounded, "Teacher, for the sake of that chess game, you’re selling out your most valued student just like that?!"

"You said it yourself, you’re my student, isn’t cooking a meal the least you could do? Tell me how many times have you freeloaded off others over the years!"

"..."

Now, she was the one lost for words.

Tang Shu’s mood lightened instantly.

***

An hour later, the two of them left the family compound.

"Finally, we’ve got the draft finalized. Once the project is over, I plan to take a vacation for a while. Do you want to come along and experience a different life, what do you say?"

"Such as?"

"Maybe see your little Purple Sable?"

Wen Nuan continued to dangle the bait.

Tang Shu suppressed the stirrings in her heart and raised her eyebrows, "Sister Nuan, what scheme are you plotting this time?"

"This pressure design you’ve drawn out this time has an original model, right?"

"..." She knew it.

"I want a design fee."

"No problem."

"This Hidden Weapon is too lethal; it can’t be mass-produced."

"Absolutely, I assure you only our people will use it."

"Perhaps, I might have the honor of meeting your people?"

"Deal!"

The two slender figures exited the family compound, strolling along the main street of Imperial University, their remarkable features drawing the gaze of many students.

But both were composed individuals, no longer affected by such minor scenes.
