It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 170: Twists and turns: New product disaster

"... Let's readjust the plan and continue the experiment!" Wu Xinyan's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

Luo Yichen nodded appreciatively, giving her silent support.

Expert Zhao pushed his glasses up and, after a moment's hesitation, offered a new idea: "We could try changing the catalyst ratio. Perhaps we could achieve a breakthrough."

After the new plan was finalized, the team members immediately took action and resumed the intense experiment.

While operating the instrument, Engineer Qian couldn't help complaining, "How many times has this happened? Every time I feel like I'm almost successful, but it still doesn't work. What a waste of time!" Although his complaints were not loud, they were particularly harsh in the silent laboratory.

Although the other members did not speak, the fatigue and anxiety on their faces were clearly visible.

Time passed minute by minute, and the laboratory was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Finally, the experimental results came out.

Wu Xinyan stared at the data on the computer screen, her expression becoming increasingly ugly.

"The deviation is too big..." she muttered to herself, her voice full of disappointment.

Expert Zhao also frowned, obviously not satisfied with the result.

Engineer Qian slumped down in his chair, looking dejected: "It's over, there's no hope at all..." The team's morale plummeted to the bottom.

At the same time, buyer Sun came hurriedly, sweating profusely and looking anxious: "Mr. Wu, I have contacted several new raw material suppliers, but their conditions are very harsh. The price has doubled than before, and I have to pay the full amount in advance..." Wu Xinyan rubbed her temples, feeling under great pressure.

At this moment, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Workshop Director Zhou walked in and said solemnly: "Mr. Wu..."

Workshop Director Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a heavy tone, "Mr. Wu, the workers... the workers are getting a little restless. The research and development of new products has been slow to progress, and everyone is worried that their future workload and income will be affected. Now everyone in the workshop is in a panic." Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

To make matters worse, the series of bad news almost crushed her.

At this moment, the door of the laboratory was pushed open again, and Luo Yichen's tall figure appeared at the door.

He was holding an exquisite paper bag in his hand, which contained Wu Xinyan's favorite matcha snacks.

He walked to Wu Xinyan, gently placed the snacks on the table, and said softly, "Eat something first, don't starve yourself." Wu Xinyan forced a smile, took the snacks, but had no taste for them.

Luo Yichen sat down beside her, picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to her mouth: "Come on, open your mouth." Wu Xinyan took a bite obediently. The fragrance of matcha spread in her mouth, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart at all.

Luo Yichen looked at her tired expression and felt distressed.

He gently held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I believe you." His voice was steady and powerful, as if it carried a magical power that gradually calmed Wu Xinyan's originally panicked heart.

Luo Yichen's encouragement gave her great strength.

She raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "I won't give up." The two of them quietly shared snacks in the corner of the laboratory. The scene was warm and peaceful, in sharp contrast to the tense atmosphere around them.

Suddenly, Wu Xinyan seemed to have thought of something. She stood up abruptly and grabbed Luo Yichen's arm: "Wait, what do you think... could it be..."

Wu Xinyan stood up suddenly, staring at the dense data on the computer screen with burning eyes, and a strong intuition surged in her heart.

She grabbed the draft paper on the table and started calculating again quickly. The tip of her pen scratched on the paper like a tense piece of music.

Luo Yichen sat quietly by the side, watching her every move, his eyes full of encouragement and support.

"Wait..." Wu Xinyan's breathing gradually became rapid. Her fingers paused on the draft paper, her eyes widened. "Here... here seems to be wrong!" She pointed excitedly at an inconspicuous formula, her voice trembling slightly.

It turned out that in the previous calculations, she had made a low-level mistake due to excessive fatigue, which led to a huge deviation in the final result!

After correcting the error, Wu Xinyan quickly entered the new data into the computer and nervously waited for the final result.

Time seemed to have stopped. The laboratory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the humming of computers echoing softly.

Finally, a new data curve appeared on the screen. Wu Xinyan's eyes lit up. The curve rose steadily, and all indicators were developing in the expected direction!

"It's done!" Wu Xinyan clenched her fists excitedly, a happy smile appearing on her face.

Expert Zhao also came over to carefully examine the data, pushed up his glasses, and nodded approvingly: "Not bad, the results this time are much better than before. It seems we have found the right direction."

Team members also gathered around, with excitement on their faces.

Even Engineer Qian, who had been complaining constantly, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"I told you, there's no problem with my idea!" he said proudly. "If we had followed my plan from the beginning, we would have succeeded long ago!"

Wu Xinyan was immersed in the joy of success, but when she heard what Engineer Qian said, her brows furrowed slightly.

Engineer Qian’s previous plan was radical and risky, and she did not agree with it.

"What's the point of saying this now?" Wu Xinyan suppressed her displeasure and said calmly, "The important thing is that we've found the right direction. All we need to do next is continue to improve..."

However, Engineer Qian didn't seem to listen to her. He walked up to Wu Xinyan and said arrogantly, "I think we should reconsider my plan..." He reached out to take the experimental records from Wu Xinyan's hand, but she dodged him calmly.

"Engineer Qian," Wu Xinyan's tone became serious, "Now is not the time to argue about this issue. We should..."

Engineer Qian interrupted her, his tone stubborn: "My plan is definitely better than yours! You..." He paused, his eyes flickering, "You're just lucky!"

Wu Xinyan's face turned cold instantly.

Luo Yichen also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He walked to Wu Xinyan, gently held her hand, and glanced at Engineer Qian with a cold look.

Engineer Qian shuddered at Luo Yichen's fierce gaze, but he still refused to give up. He stiffened his neck and said, "I... I'll go prove it right now!" With that, he turned and walked towards the lab table, reaching for...
