Chapter 381: She Might Really Be a Lucky Star
After finishing the classes at noon, Song Chu contacted the friend introduced by Gu Yue’s father.
The other party sent a construction team over. Song Chu took them to the back mountain and handed the captain the design drawings she had already made.
The captain had always been involved in construction. He carefully examined the design drawings. Although he had never built anything like this before, their company was capable of doing it.
After communicating and confirming with each other, they agreed on the price, signed a contract in duplicate, and with the school’s approval, construction could start the next day.
Once construction began, Song Chu would take time every day to go and check on the progress, immediately pointing out any issues.
In the second week, Song Chu brought a simple, small cooling fan back to school.
Making an air conditioner would take time. Gu Yue was worried that Song Chu would be too hot while staying in the dormitory or working in the laboratory, so he spent over a week creating a cooling fan.
The current fans circulated the surrounding air to cool down, but when the weather was too hot, the air itself was hot, so the fans were not very effective.
Gu Yue added a new type of cooling device to the fan, so the air it blew out was about the same as an air conditioner set to 18 degrees Celsius, and it had low power consumption, so it wouldn’t use much electricity.
Since Song Chu wanted to use it in the dormitory or the laboratory, she had to get permission from the president first, as it required electricity.
So, she went to the president’s office with the fan.
President Zhu and Vice President Ding, along with a few others, were discussing something when they were surprised to see Song Chu knock on the door.
He immediately smiled and said, “Xiao Song is here, come in.”
Song Chu walked in and sat down. “President Zhu, I came here to discuss something with you.”
President Zhu smiled and asked, “What is it?”
Song Chu placed the desktop fan on the table. “The weather is too hot now. My fiancรฉ researched and made a small cooling fan, so I wanted to use it in the dormitory and the laboratory. I wanted to ask if that’s okay.”
President Zhu and the others naturally knew who her fiancรฉ was, and they all looked at the fan on the table.
“A cooling fan? Does that mean it’s different from ordinary fans?”
Song Chu nodded. “It’s different. The air it blows out goes through a cooling layer, so it’s very cool.”
President Zhu and the others instantly showed curiosity. “Can we try it?”
Song Chu smiled. “Of course.”
President Zhu personally plugged in the fan. Soon, the fan started rotating, and gradually, a cool breeze blew out, making the stuffy office much more comfortable.
“This breeze is so cool. It’s really very different from ordinary fans.” President Zhu came closer, looking at it with fondness from all angles.
He also had an electric fan in his office, but the air it blew out was hot, only slightly better than not using it at all.
But this fan was different. The air it blew out was completely cool and very comfortable.
“Xiao Song, does this cooling fan consume a lot of electricity?” he asked.
Song Chu truthfully replied, “My fiancรฉ specially modified it to have low power consumption. It uses about one kilowatt-hour of electricity in about five hours.”
“That’s not very power-consuming.”
Currently, there were already air conditioners purchased from abroad in the country. President Zhu had seen one and experienced it some time ago. It was indeed very cool, but the power consumption was alarming, almost one kilowatt-hour per hour.
In addition, the air conditioners themselves were very expensive, and their school really couldn’t afford them.
But this cooling fan that Song Chu brought made them excited. It would be very necessary to put one in each laboratory.
The weather was hot now, and the professors in the laboratories were all getting older. They were immersed in their experiments, and a few days ago, one of them fainted from heatstroke.
โโโ
They were worrying about this when Song Chu brought the solution to their doorstep.
“Xiao Song, is your fiancรฉ selling these cooling fans?” President Zhu knew that the grandson of the Gu family would certainly not be short of money, but he couldn’t help but ask.
“A few days ago, one of our professors fainted from heatstroke while doing an experiment. We can’t afford to put an imported air conditioner in every laboratory, and the electricity bill would be very high.”
“So, if your fiancรฉ can sell them, our school wants to buy a few of these cooling fans to put in each laboratory for everyone to use.” He added with a sigh.
As for their offices, he didn’t even dare to consider it, fearing it would be too expensive.
Song Chu hadn’t thought about selling this thing before. Hearing their words, she suddenly had an idea.
“I need to ask him about this first. Can I get back to you later?”
President Zhu smiled and nodded. “Sure, thank you.”
“Feel free to use this cooling fan, whether in the dormitory or the laboratory. The school will cover the electricity bill. After all, we said we would give you a separate laboratory, and you didn’t take it, so consider this as compensation.”
He had heard many people say that Song Chu was a lucky star. He hadn’t thought much of it before, but now he felt that she might really be one.
She happened to come along and help them solve the problem they had been worrying about for days.
Song Chu didn’t refuse. She had originally intended to pay for the electricity herself. “Alright, thank you, President Zhu.”
After leaving the office, she didn’t return to the dormitory but went to a secluded corner of the campus and entered the space laboratory.
There were no surveillance cameras at this time, so no one would notice that she had suddenly disappeared.
At this time, Gu Yue had just returned home after dropping off Song Chu. When he found that she had entered the space laboratory, he guessed that she might have something to discuss, so he quickly went in as well.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Yue asked.
Song Chu gestured with her eyes to the fan she was holding. “Our school wants to buy these.”
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what she meant. “I only made a few. If they want to buy them, should I work overtime with others to make a few more?”
If it were people from the Agricultural University who wanted to buy them, he wouldn’t have the time and energy to help make them, as he had many new projects waiting to be done.
Moreover, he hadn’t provided any to Hua University, only sending one to each of the professors’ offices.
But if it was his own Xiao Chu who wanted it, then he would work hard and overtime to make them.
Song Chu put down the fan and took his arm. “You don’t need to work overtime. You’re so tired, and I’m the one who would worry.”
Gu, the Academic God, was so doting on her, how could she bear to let him work so hard?
Gu Yue’s heart warmed, and he smiled softly. “For you, I’m happy to work a little harder.”
“You don’t want me to work overtime, but you came to me about this. You must still want to provide fans to the Agricultural University. Do you have a better idea?” He still knew his own partner quite well.
Song Chu nodded. “I was thinking, why not let my fourth brother do it? What do you think?”
“Although he invested in the club project, he won’t be mainly focusing on that in the future. I’ve been thinking about which industry my fourth brother should focus on developing. Now, because of this, I think making electrical appliances would be good.”
“You contribute the technology, and my fourth brother opens a factory to implement it. Not only can we lead in technology internationally, but it can also benefit the public.” She added.
The next chapter will be in about half an hour. I’ll go back and fix any errors after I finish posting~
