Chapter 40

Grandma Zhang interrupted and said, “Since you are going out, Mengmeng remember to buy some new clothes for yourself.”

Su Meng agreed softly, “Okay, grandma.”

They arrived at the Moon Bay Hotel. Su Meng received a message from Jiang Tingzhou, “Do you want to take the dog to walk together after dinner?”

She thought for a while and replied, “No, I am eating at the hotel with my uncle now.”

As soon as she was about to put her phone back in her pocket, she received the second message from Jiang Tingzhou, “Which hotel?”

“Moon Bay Hotel.”

After replying, Su Meng followed Ling Yucheng to the box. His three friends were already in the box, one man and two women. In Su Meng’s eyes, they were naturally fresh faces. Ling Yucheng brought a little girl with him. All of them were a little surprised. One of the young mn joked, “Don’t tell me this is your girlfriend.”

Ling Yucheng glanced at him lightly, “This is my niece.”

The young man became uninterested, “Oh, she is your niece.”

The dinner was very lively. Ling Yucheng’s three friends were very talkative.

From their conversation, Su Meng got to know that although Ling Yucheng was in college, he was already involved in the development of high-end chips.

If such chips for optical cables in the ocean bed could be successfully developed, then that invention would be far ahead in the world, and it would not even be an exaggeration to say that it would cause a global sensation.

That research and development was still in its infancy. So no one was optimistic about it, and it wasn’t kept secret. From their talk, she could tell that although his friends admired his ability, they weren’t optimistic about the prospects of that research. Even the young man who had a good deal of money persuaded him to give up as soon as possible.

“Rather than wasting time on such incredible projects, it is better to do something else as soon as possible. Everything else is imaginary, and only money is real.”

The only girl other than Su Meng, smiled and said, “You are a layman. You only know money in your heart. You can just soak in the money pile.”

The guy retorted, “Humans will die for riches, just as birds will for food

(man will do anything in his means to become rich.) This is an immutable truth. Is there anything wrong with what I said? I am right!” He turned to Ling Yucheng’s direction and suggested, “Ah Yu, to be honest, I advise you to give up early. You are so busy every day, and spend more than ten hours in the research room every day, but the monthly subsidy is so small. The most important point is that you don’t know if you can succeed.”

Ling Yucheng no longer knew how many words like that were used to persuade him to give up as soon as possible. He had failed too many times and shortage of funds was also an issue. In fact, even a few members of his team almost gave up.

Only his parents supported him unconditionally. They believed that his team would eventually succeed, and that his efforts would be rewarded. He didn’t get angry because of such words, he just said lightly, “Everyone pursues different things in life.”

The guy shrugged and said, “Well, my pursuit is actual money, and your pursuit is an unattainable dream.”

Su Meng quietly listened to those people talk. She thought of the proud eyes of the Ling couple when they talked about their son, and his outstanding performance since childhood, so she chose to stand by the Ling couple.

She knew Ling Yucheng’s busy schedule. Usually only when he was having breakfast, did he have a little free time to video chat with his parents. And the time of each video chat wasn’t too long.

Su Meng bit her lip, and said the first sentence of that dinner night, “I think my uncle will succeed.” Her voice was soft, and even a little bit immature, but those words sounded good. There was a certain degree of determination. Su Meng only regretted that she hadn’t paid attention to those scientific research matters before.

When spacecrafts ascended to the sky, or when missiles got launched into the sky, those major events in history were sometimes broadcasted live on TV but she never watched them.

She was only immersed in her own small world and rarely paid attention to the outside world.

If she paid more attention at that time, maybe she would know now whether Ling Yucheng’s chip research would succeed in the future or not. If it succeeds, it would definitely be recorded in history, and the news would definitely be broadcasted. Unfortunately, she never paid attention to those things. The others were a little surprised when they heard Su Meng talk.

The guy joked, “Ah Yu, your little niece admires you very much.” 

There were waves in Ling Yucheng’s quiet eyes, “Yes.”
