“Then what do you want?”
The woman traced his collar with her fair fingers, her eyes brimming with flirtatious charm.
Jiang Hua felt a surge of desire and lifted her chin. “Of course, a sweet, caring little darling.”
“Pfft—you’re just good at sweet-talking!”
After some teasing and flirting, the two became even more intimate.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fuyue stood on the second floor, withdrew her gaze, and turned inside. She was getting ready for an afternoon nap.
At 3 PM—
Knock, knock, knock—
A knock sounded. Jiang Fuyue snapped her eyes open.
Through the door, Liu Jinzhong’s deep voice came:
“Miss, it’s time to depart.”
Jiang Fuyue got up and tidied herself. Liu Sisi had already arrived to meet her.
The three of them got in the car and headed for the outskirts.
At the destination, a helicopter was waiting quietly on an open field.
Liu Sisi received the keys, climbed into the cockpit, and began adjusting the instruments and checking everything before takeoff.
Meanwhile, Liu Jinzhong answered a call—it was Jiang Ke.
“When do you expect to arrive? I need to get ready.”
Liu Jinzhong glanced at the helicopter, ready for takeoff:
“Within an hour.”
“Alright. Uh… she’s coming, right?”
Liu Jinzhong’s old eyes flickered: “She? Which she?”
The other side ground his teeth: “Who else do you think? Jiang Fuyue!”
Liu Jinzhong dragged out his answer, “Ooh… of course. This is KT’s first test flight. She wouldn’t feel at ease if she didn’t come.”
“Alright…” Pause.
“Wait! What do you mean by ‘wouldn’t feel at ease’?”
Liu Jinzhong: “Exactly what it sounds like.”
“You old man, you mocking me?” Jiang Ke chuckled angrily. “I’ve never made anything that couldn’t be trusted!”
After saying that, he hung up with a bang.
—Tsk, quite the temper…
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Sisi put on her helmet and gave an OK sign to Liu Jinzhong.
Liu Jinzhong stepped up: “Miss, we can leave now.”
Jiang Fuyue was still on the phone. Hearing him, she nodded and said to the other end: “…I’ll give you five more minutes.”
Then she hung up.
Liu Jinzhong was a little surprised: “Others are coming?”
“Mm, bringing two old friends.”
“They know about KT?”
“If I hadn’t had that accident back then, KT would probably be under their leadership by now.”
Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou were originally chosen as Lou Mingyue’s assistants to groom them as trusted aides to manage KT. In fact, they knew about KT even earlier than Liu Jinzhong.
At four minutes and thirty seconds, Ling Qingzhou arrived.
Shortly after, Yi Hansheng raced in.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go.”
The helicopter took off smoothly, rising to a certain altitude before moving steadily forward.
Yi Hansheng: “KT’s really been rebuilt?!”
When he got the call from Jiang Fuyue inviting him to watch the new generation Black Gold KT test flight, Yi Hansheng was so shocked he didn’t even ask questions—he just sped straight over.
Luckily, he made it.
Jiang Fuyue nodded: “Mm.”
Ling Qingzhou: “When did this happen?”
“Two months ago.”
“No wonder Yi Ci said Qiyang managed to order a Black Gold drone too…” Yi Hansheng muttered. “So it’s decided—full production restart?”
“We’ve accepted some orders, mainly selling TK39s right now.” (Meaning the first-generation models.)
Ling Qingzhou pondered briefly: “And this test flight?”
Jiang Fuyue: “KT43.”
At Yi Ci’s birthday, she had gifted KT42. And now a new model already?
Yi Hansheng was secretly stunned.
As if reading his mind, Jiang Fuyue smiled: “Whether it becomes the new generation depends on the test flight results. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be good to go.”
Jiang Ke might be arrogant, but he wasn’t reckless. He was always targeted in his actions.
Since he dared let Liu Jinzhong bring her to see the test flight, he must be confident.
What Ling Qingzhou was thinking, though, was how Jiang Fuyue had managed to rebuild KT—and even develop a next-gen model—all without relying on him or Yi Hansheng in such a short time.
This revealed the true power backing her, far beyond what they had imagined.
Glancing again at Liu Jinzhong—who had remained silent the whole trip—Ling Qingzhou’s eyes subtly changed.
Liu Jinzhong noticed the look but stayed calm, even nodding slightly with a smile.
Ling Qingzhou returned the nod.
—In that moment, undercurrents flowed unseen.
Forty minutes later, the helicopter landed at a large open area west of G City.
Jiang Ke personally came to receive them— But seeing two extra people (on top of the expected three) and noticing their closeness to Jiang Fuyue, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Everyone met up, and Jiang Fuyue introduced the parties to each other.
When Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou saw Jiang Ke’s half-ruined face, a flicker of surprise crossed their eyes, but they quickly regained composure.
Afterward, for some reason, Jiang Ke deliberately kept the ruined half of his face pointed at them.
It made Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou feel oddly awkward.
Then Jiang Ke leaned beside Jiang Fuyue, grinning: “Not bad, these two old geezers have some strong nerves.”
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him: “Childish.”
Jiang Ke shrugged. “Potential customers?”
Jiang Fuyue remained silent, just looking at him.
“What, wrong guess? Otherwise why’d you bring them? Sightseeing?”
“…”
“When do we start?” Jiang Fuyue asked.
Jiang Ke: “First, to the observation deck.”
Five minutes later, they stood atop a viewing platform overlooking a vast empty plain under a wide blue sky.
Jiang Ke handed out special glasses and passed the control panel to Jiang Fuyue.
“I’m the one flying?”
Jiang Ke shrugged: “You’re the boss. Who else if not you?”
“…”
—It wasn’t laziness; it was absolute confidence in the drone about to fly.
Liu Jinzhong couldn’t help lifting an eyelid to glance at him—
Only to meet Jiang Ke’s smug, challenging stare, as if to say: “Keep your eyes open, don’t blink. Watch carefully how reliable I am!”
Liu Jinzhong: “…”
Jiang Fuyue pressed the start button. A holographic projection popped up. Compared to the KT42, it was much cleaner and simpler—surprising.
Usually, as features increased, interfaces became more complex, whether in drones, electronics, or precision instruments.
Could KT43 actually have fewer functions?
After inspecting it, Jiang Fuyue realized: No— Functions were just reorganized. For example, the former “Cruise” and “Search” modes were now grouped under a “Circle” menu.
And now KT43 also had retina scanning instead of the older sonic recognition.
A lot of changes, and bold ones.
When the test flight finished, return time had improved by 30% compared to KT42.
That was the real breakthrough.
Interface changes were just cosmetic—anyone could do that.
But improving core drone performance was the true technical challenge.
Clearly, Jiang Ke had achieved it.
“Well? Didn’t disappoint, right?”
Jiang Fuyue nodded: “Not bad.”
“Just ‘not bad’?! Come on!” Jiang Ke protested.
“How about I add 3% extra shares for you?”
“Now we’re talking…” He grumbled, but inside, he was already ecstatic.
Thanks to Dr. L’s research archives, Jiang Ke had managed these achievements in only two months.
As he delved deeper into KT, how could a smart guy like him not see the company’s bright future?
And with a big enough pie, even 3% would make him rich beyond dreams.
—From now on, he wouldn’t just be working for Jiang Fuyue. They’d be partners.
She’d provide the money and resources. He’d provide the brains and tech.
When they left the observation deck, Liu Jinzhong was already waiting with the shareholder agreement.
Handing it to Jiang Ke: “Sign here.”
“Whoa, so fast? Don’t tell me this was prepared beforehand?”
Liu Jinzhong chuckled.
Jiang Ke skimmed through the document and immediately signed.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fuyue removed her glasses, set them back into the basket, and lazily turned to Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou: “So? Thoughts?”
The two exchanged looks.
Ling Qingzhou: “20 million for 3%.”
Yi Hansheng: “Same.”
Jiang Fuyue smiled: “Uncle Liu—”
Liu Jinzhong neatly produced two more contracts from behind his back and handed them over.
“Already prepared.”
Yi Hansheng: “…” Are we pigs to be slaughtered?
Ling Qingzhou: “…” —Well, at least it’s voluntary slaughter…
Business was business. 20 million for 3% wasn’t a bad deal at all.
It wasn’t really a slaughter—it was just mutual willingness.
Still… only Jiang Ke, by sheer talent, managed to snag his shares for free.
Tsk.
After watching the test flight, they didn’t linger.
They boarded and headed back to Linhuai.
Before Jiang Fuyue left, Jiang Ke grinned: “I told you—I could retire your algorithm genius and empire hacker, and bring Black Gold drones back to the top. Do you believe it now?”
Jiang Fuyue gave him a long look: “Tuck in your tail. Don’t get cocky. KT43? Big deal. Without a KT433, you think you’re king again? Dream on.”
Jiang Ke: “?”
—D*mn it! I got blasted even after succeeding!?
