Chapter 473 Thank you
Still in the same place last night, but with few companions around him, Jiang Hui was now alone facing this elder whom he had only met for the second time.
After almost using it to look at people, Aaron asked the girl if she needed more. Jiang Hui shook his head. Although there was not much to eat, Hillman's breakfast was really good. After one round, he was basically full. The nutrients provided allowed the body to be better replenished after a night's sleep. The effect is worth recommending.
After Jiang Hui shook his head, the staff came up and removed the things on the table in an orderly manner, and then served tea. The whole process was orderly and unobtrusive, showing that they were well-trained.
At this moment, she had a vague feeling that this was a noble family.
Both of them had a cup of hot tea in front of them, and then the atmosphere changed from the relaxed atmosphere to a slightly serious feeling, and they were about to start talking.
The staff who were originally in the restaurant all withdrew at some point, leaving only Jiang Hui and Aaron.
"I'm sorry that such an unseemly thing happened to you yesterday." Aaron sighed while looking at the clear brown color in the porcelain cup.
"..."
"No need to help me come up with excuses. It's a scandal in the first place. I was embarrassed to mention it again." Aaron shook his head and said.
Sure enough, something went wrong. Jiang Hui knew by looking at the other person's expression yesterday that it was definitely not a trivial matter, but she was a guest, so she had no nerve to ask in-depth questions about other people's private affairs. Naturally, she would withdraw as quickly as possible.
She only regretted that she was not clear-minded yesterday and came out so rashly. She should have mentioned it in a more tactful way or told Hillman in private... which one is better than saying it directly? Everyone knew about the result, and it was all her fault that her head was suddenly hit by the mecha battle yesterday. Now that she had woken up and calmed down, she realized that what she had done was wrong.
The other party picked up a folder from the right hand side. The board was made very thin, embossed, and inlaid with precious stones. It was very exquisite.
This thing was put there just now, and she read a few pages after she came over. But it was someone else's thing, and Jiang Hui didn't like to look at it. Unexpectedly, the other party picked it up and handed it to her.
Aaron motioned for her to look through it. The girl hesitated and finally opened it gently.
Jiang Hui opened the outer cover and found that there were actually paper materials sandwiched inside. There were not many, more than a dozen sheets. They were thin, but each page was covered with a sandwich, which looked very solemn.
With the rapid development of information technology, paper materials are rarely used here in Interstellar. However, many old-school families who respect ancient times still choose to use paper materials, which is also in line with their old traditions.
Jiang Hui took a closer look and realized that this information was originally an inspection report on the shaft yesterday, but this was an inspection report from a grade A laboratory. That is an organization that can issue mecha certificates. To go to such a place specifically to inspect a shaft, it shows that the matter is really big.
"As you mentioned, there is something wrong with this shaft." And it's not just this shaft...
He realized something was wrong last night, so he sent people to intercept it overnight. That shipment is about to be shipped. When the Hillman family arrived, the other party actually tried to avoid inspection, and almost had a conflict with the people sent by Aaron.
But in the end, the fire could not be contained, and everything was dug out by the Hillman family. The developer actually tampered with the material of the shaft.
At first, the Hillman family provided intact raw materials and required developers to customize parts according to strict standards. However, in order to save raw materials, or should be said to use the same quantity, they built a longer production line. Not enough raw materials were put in, and another cheap material was mixed in to avoid being discovered. Although this newly blended B-line material is similar in density, structure, color and even properties and uses to the batch provided by the Hillman family, its durability and properties are insufficient, and its properties are also unstable. It is said that it will appear after a period of use. Transfer to peripheral fusion. This kind of operation may not affect the use, but as it is used for a long time, the inside will be completely dissolved and integrated, which will further affect the use of the shaft.
And this is not the first time they have done this. They started doing this in the post-processing of the previous full moon product. It is said that it is to make up for the lack of capital chain. What a crooked idea.
When it came to developing the crescent-shaped shaft this time, I had already made up my mind to do some tricks.
It's just that they didn't expect that they had made all kinds of preparations, opened up all the joints, and even had the right time and place on their side, but when the sale came, they would be discovered. Naturally, the Hillman family refused to give up. After all, this was not only related to nearly half of the raw materials that had been stolen, but also the reputation of the Hillman family.
Earlier, mecha manufacturers even approached them and wanted to cooperate to pre-produce this part in batches. If they really succeeded and things were circulated, and even allowed them to form a production line, it would be a big turmoil for the Hillman family once the incident happened.
After Aaron found out about this, he stayed up almost all night. He sent people non-stop to deal with various matters and take care of all aspects. During this period, he also did not forget to contact his old father who was away and let him know about his situation. What has a good clan brother done?
He really couldn't believe that the stable clan brother in the past had betrayed the family for profit. Did he think that if something happened to the Hillman family, he would be able to stay out of it? Fortunately, his father took pity on his parents who died young and promoted him a lot, but he never expected that he would end up raising a white-eyed wolf.
My father didn't say much, nor did he express his opinion on this matter. He only asked him to deal with it well and not to leave any hidden dangers. But Aaron knew that the old man must be angry, very angry, so angry that all the years of cultivating qi had been broken.
"...So this is very important to our family, and I can't thank you enough." The other party bowed his head slightly to the girl very solemnly. This is already a very heavy etiquette for the heir to the head of the family, especially for a junior like her.
Jiang Hui didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only wave his hands repeatedly, saying that he was Hillman's friend and was very honored to help him, so that the other party wouldn't have to be too intrusive.
Besides, this matter was started by her asking Hillman to help buy the shaft, and it was also the other party who was willing to help first, so how could she tell the difference so clearly.
The young man shook his head: "A favor is a favor, of course we have to figure it out clearly. My silly boy has always had to be taken care of by you. I know that, he has matured a lot in the past six months."
"These are all lies. I heard from Al that you are learning to make mechas. I thought you might need this. I'm sorry, but please accept it." The other party handed over a small box, which had obviously been prepared for some time. It's time.
Jiang Hui opened it suspiciously under the other party's encouraging gaze and found a black card inside.

I swear I really didn’t want to write it like this. I ended up here out of nowhere. I really wasn’t writing anything weird. We are all good friends.
