After Forced Marriage [Female A Male O] (ChatGPT translation)

Chapter 23, Burning Fire 03. Updated at 1 am and 2 am.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, the people from the Weapon Group called Director Chen of the Research Institute and sent an electronic file titled "Upgrade Plan for Mecha Information Sensing Sensor" at the same time.

During Pei Heng's recovery period, he didn't idle around and discussed the overall design plan for the T28 light mecha with the various mecha designers in the video conference. So after returning to the research institute, he only briefly handed over the work of the past few days to Shen Shizhou and began to prepare to hand over the design drawings and samples to the military and the commissioning party.

However, things on this side were not over yet, and the file about the upgrade of the information sensing sensor caused a commotion throughout the research institute.

Everyone who had read the file was indignant and began to discuss the matter fiercely.

Even Shen Shizhou was so angry that he almost cursed at the military, but he was stopped by Pei Heng.

"The problem that the entire empire's mecha development team can't solve, and the military only gives us seven days? Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?!"

Shen Shizhou threw the printed file on the desk and turned his head to vent his anger at Pei Heng, his tone revealing his irritability: "Litchi, did you see it? There's not only the Marshal's signature at the bottom of the file, but also your General Fu's!"

"She threw such a hot potato of a project to our research institute, what does she mean? Have you ever considered your situation?"

Pei Heng pursed his lips and stared at the file on the desk in silence, as if he hadn't heard Shen Shizhou's words, and the three characters "Fu Dongni" in the lower right corner of the signature were clearly visible.

He had already reviewed the contents of the plan, and had made many assumptions to solve the problems in advance when the institute was in turmoil.But in the end, he overturned them all.

"Don't just sit there silently," Shen Shizhou panicked and scratched his head. "Why don't you call General Fu and ask her what's going on with this project? Can't we retract it... I know I'm being unrealistic, but even if we can't retract it, can't we at least buy ourselves some more time?"

"Don't worry," Pei Hengzhi's gaze was calm, his thin lips pursed. "I believe there must be a reason for what happened on Fu Yi's end. Dean Chen should be negotiating with the people from the Weapon Group right now. Let's go find him and see if there's any room for maneuvering."

"Okay, okay," Shen Shizhou nodded frantically with a mournful expression. "You know me, I can't handle being scared. Those bigwigs make decisions like it's a game, not realizing that we're risking our lives every time we complete a mission."

The plan listed many precautions, and it concerned the military of the Empire. If the project failed and they were held accountable, their entire research institute would be in trouble. No one would believe that it wasn't targeted.

But they were insignificant and their opinions were easily ignored. It was difficult to guess what the higher-ups were thinking.

The only person who could speak up was probably Dean Chen.

Thinking of this, Pei Hengzhi comforted him with a pat on the shoulder. "Don't be so pessimistic. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Although he said that, his lowered eyes were covered in a layer of indiscernible gloom.

The two of them arrived at the dean's office and found the door tightly shut, but they could still hear faint arguing coming from inside.Pei Heng and Shen Shizhou exchanged a glance and both furrowed their brows unconsciously.
