Touya Yaoyao

Chapter 100 The poor suddenly become rich

Wang Yao is a researcher at Yu Yaoyao's research institute. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Europe and is one of the most outstanding young scientists in China.

When he first met Yu Yaoyao, she was only eleven years old and hadn't graduated from elementary school yet.

The reason I brought this up is because that first meeting left a very deep impression on him.

This profound feeling isn't about how pretty, gentle, or cute she is! It's about how this little girl is so troublesome!

After all, while girls her age are usually thinking about how to dress themselves up, how to study hard, and how to eat, drink, and have fun, this little girl was thinking about... how to make things difficult for them, the researchers?!

Can you believe that an eleven-year-old child, with just a few scraps of paper, painted a bunch of grand promises for them, and then the director of their research institute, General Yu, so easily handed over this enormous institute to an eleven-year-old girl?!

Wang Yao was extremely shocked by this matter at the time. Not only Wang Yao, but everyone in the research institute was shocked and even strongly opposed it.

Putting aside the fact that this young girl is younger than them, does such a young child have the ability, qualifications, and experience to be the director of their research institute?! What qualifications does she have?!

But what about Yu Yaoyao? She didn't care about their dissatisfaction at all, and didn't even give them the time of day.

Despite his young age, he acted like a calm and experienced person, managing to boss them around.

He talked about unmanned aircraft, amphibious cars, chip-controlled robots, and all sorts of other nonsensical things, leaving these grown men completely bewildered.

She was like a little girl who only knew how to talk and dream, yet she relentlessly pushed them to turn those dreams into reality. They did try to resist, but General Yu clearly favored her, so after their repeated attempts to resist failed, they had no choice but to give up.

They admitted defeat but did not give up. Instead, they tried to appease Yu Yaoyao by saying they couldn't do it. However, whenever Yu Yaoyao looked at them with the eyes of someone looking at trash, or even with a look of disgust, they would...

They always felt like Yu Yaoyao was telling them with her eyes, "You guys are supposed to be highly educated, intelligent, and capable—that's all you've got! That's all you're good for! You can't even handle something this simple!"

Well, let's just say they're trying to save face, not by steaming buns, but by being looked down upon by an eleven-year-old. Don't they have any dignity?!

So, out of pride, they had no choice but to work hard, even brainstorming ideas, looking for ways, methods, clues, and possibilities.

Trying again and again, failing time and time again, wanting to give up repeatedly, yet persevering despite the other party's contempt and disdain.

Ultimately, they were unwilling to admit defeat, unwilling to be looked down upon, and wanted to know if the unmanned aircraft could really be developed.

Whether it was painstaking effort, working day and night, or tireless dedication, after repeated hard work, the first drone that could barely fly was finally built.

The most important thing is not that they built it, but that they spent eight years building it, those eight years of inhumane, hellish, and blatantly disliked by a child.

Well, when the drone actually took to the air, the entire laboratory erupted in cheers. It was like witnessing a dream come true, like witnessing the arduous journey from nothing to something, like the Eighth Route Army's triumphant victory after driving out all the enemies.

They never imagined that this thing, which they considered a pipe dream, a fantasy, or even nonsense eight years ago, would actually be created one day through their research, their efforts, and their own hands.

Excitement, exhilaration, pride, and a hint of smugness.

They proudly shared this news with Yu Yaoyao, only to receive an extremely cold reply. She even pressed them for details about how long they could fly, their endurance, and whether they could record and transmit terrain footage.

The miscellaneous problems dampened their excitement and brought them back to reality. Building a flying drone was only the first step; many more challenges awaited them.

But the bigger problem is funding. It's true that the Ye family, to which Yu Yaoyao belongs, is wealthy, but the funds she can come up with are limited. Even with the Ye family and General Yu's overt and covert support, this amount of money is still a drop in the bucket for research!

So why bring this up? Because today is a day that will change them all, a day that marks the beginning of a bright future, a new beginning, a day when they say goodbye to poverty and move towards prosperity.

Bai Taoshi, the second young master of the Bai family, is one of the actors in the Asian region of Zhaoguo. He has countless riches and is a walking gold mine. He lacks nothing except novelties.

Therefore, when he saw Yu Yaoyao fiddling with the drone and wandering around the Zhao Kingdom's palace, his curiosity was piqued, and he began to want to find out more.

But Yu Yaoyao was clearly busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Helpless, he could only ask for help from outside, such as Wang Yao.

So, driven by curiosity, Bai Taoshi reached into Yu Yaoyao's pocket, took out her phone, unlocked it, found someone in her contacts, and started making a call.

Don't ask him why he can unlock Yu Yaoyao's phone! The answer is that he's a natural electronics expert, he's very familiar with Yu Yaoyao, and he secretly registered his fingerprint when Yu Yaoyao wasn't looking.

Cough cough, of course he wouldn't easily tell others this.

Wang Yao initially thought Yu Yaoyao was calling because she had something to say, but when he answered the phone, he discovered that it was a man on the other end.

Just when Wang Yao thought his boss's phone had been stolen, the man actually asked him if he still had the thing he brought for Yu Yaoyao today.

"You mean drones?! Yes, they exist! But they're quite expensive, maybe a few billion."

Wang Yao spoke nervously, with a hint of guilt. After all, his promise of billions was just empty talk; he only wanted to raise some funds for the research institute. He knew that most of the people around Yu Yaoyao were either rich or powerful, and he figured he might as well take advantage of such suckers.

When Bai Taoshi heard Wang Yao say that thing cost billions, and recalling how much Yu Yaoyao treasured it just now, he nodded to himself and then spoke in a lazy tone and casual manner:

"Several billion?! Is five billion enough? If not, we can add more."

Fifty billion?! This windfall completely stunned Wang Yao! He never expected that there would actually be such a sucker out of nowhere! Fifty billion in one go?! Just how wealthy is this man?!

Even though he was excited, thrilled, and overjoyed, Wang Yao still pretended to be calm and responded with a single word to maintain his aloof image before decisively hanging up the phone.

No sooner had he hung up than he immediately called General Yu. As for why General Yu, it was because Yu Yaoyao was busy and he dared not call the wronged child.

General Yu was also taken aback. He knew about the drone that Yu Yaoyao had made, and he had even used it a few times, but he felt that it was not very useful and was somewhat of a waste.

However, if White Peach Arrow were to be used, it would require careful consideration. Seeing that General Yu was hesitant to speak, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel uneasy. Just then, Yu Yaoyao called.

Yu Yaoyao made the call for no other reason than to ask Bai Taoshi why he had called Wang Yao. Upon learning that Bai Taoshi wanted to buy a drone for 5 billion, Yu Yaoyao was momentarily stunned, then succinctly replied:

"He probably wants that thing just like General Yu—for fun, so you know what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao instantly understood. He nodded thoughtfully, then succinctly stated:

"I understand, I'll take care of it right away."

Since Yu Yaoyao said that the drone she gave to Bai Taoshi was the same as the one given to General Yu, then this drone is a toy that has no other functions besides flying and recording videos.

Making 5 billion from a single toy—no wonder he's the boss. His swindling skills far surpass those of us researchers. I'm truly impressed.
