Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 18 An Automotive Engineer's Dream

Terai's dream is to be an automotive engineer.

This dream originated from his experience of riding a bus when he was a child.The roaring "engine sound" and vibrations of the bus thrilled a child.Especially when seeing the driver, just twisting a lever and turning a steering wheel, the whole car can magically start and take people where they want to go. At that moment, Terai dreamed that he would have a future. Make cars one day too.

Later, Terai really became an automotive engineer.

A car is not just a car. In modern society, it has become something like human hands and feet. This is Terai's idea.And Terai's research direction in automotive technology is the accelerator control response-to allow people to really control the car as if they were using their own hands and feet.

The discrepancy between the throttle control and the actual engine response is what prevents people from controlling the car as they want.

Terai is committed to continuously reducing this error.

Keep making this error smaller and smaller.

Think about how exciting it would be to have a car actually become something like a human limb.

Terai worked day and night to study this technology in the company.He doesn't know the worldly ways of running a workplace.

Others only regard his "forgetting sleep and food" as a show.Colleagues squeezed him out and made small reports about him.It's okay, Terai doesn't care about these.

His superiors withheld his research funding.It's okay, Terai took out his salary and started research at his own expense.

Others ridiculed that his research was useless, but Terai silently recorded the experimental data and organized his results into papers one after another.

In this way, day after day, year after year, Terai endured ridicule and ridicule from others.

Finally, on that day, Terai succeeded.He invented a method of total linear control of the throttle, which can minimize the error between the throttle control and the actual engine response.This greatly improves the car's handling and braking in emergency situations.Although there is still some distance from large-scale parity mass production, a new era has arrived.

Terai was awarded 1.5 million yuan by the company for this invention.

1.5 million yuan is not small.What are you going to do with this money?Terai showed a child-like smile, and he still wanted to sit in it himself, owning a vehicle equipped with the "Total Linear Control Accelerator" invented by himself.So he bought the Rolls-Royce, the first car to be equipped with a "total linear control throttle".

The remaining 3000 million is used to invest in insurance, which is enough to have a good life.

This is all my wish.

But later, there was a car accident, and the Rolls Royce worth 1.2 million was completely destroyed.Colleagues took pleasure in other people's misfortunes, and laughed at themselves for being a fool, spending the money to buy a luxury car, while the wife was at home every day, in front of the children, swearing at herself.

For a moment, Terai felt very tired.

Why, just simply chasing one of my wishes, but I have to suffer so many white eyes and bad words.

Why, just simply chasing one of my own wishes, but suffer so much unfair treatment. .

I...I just want the car to be as flexible and maneuverable as human hands and feet.

What did I do wrong? !

……

Eto Law Firm.

Terai took a deep breath, staring at his wife Natsue in front of him.

Nazue was already stunned, she never expected Terai to yell at her like this.She and Terai met when they were students. At the beginning, she fell in love with Terai because of his honest and dull personality, and he would tolerate her temper.She has long been accustomed to Terai's tolerance.Unexpectedly, Terai today... actually got angry with her.

Terai's eyes were a little red, and his hands trembled slightly.Thinking of the ridicule and not being understood by his wife in the workplace for decades in his life, he opened his mouth and his voice suddenly choked up: "That... that is not a luxury car, that... that is... my car. ... a child!"

In this world, no one should understand me.

Suddenly, Terai felt his shoulder was tapped twice.

As if there was a familiar old friend, he stood beside him and patted him lightly twice.

Gently patting, as if there was a magical magic power, slowly soothing Terai's disappointment, sadness, and anger.

How long has it been since someone patted my shoulder like this.

I have no friends in the company.

In the family, the partner does not understand himself.

It's been a long time since someone patted me on the shoulder like this.

Looking up, it was the young lawyer named "Bei Yuan" who was patting himself on the shoulder.

he smiles.

He obviously only looked like he was in his 20s, but for some reason, his eyes also revealed the vicissitudes of life that seemed to be the same as his own.

Beiyuan's lips moved, and a magnetic male voice said: "Mr. Terai must have worked hard all these years."

Plop, like a stone thrown into the lake, splashing ripples.

It's like a corner of my heart has been pried open.

Terai was stunned.For some reason, at this moment, he felt that in this world, only this young man named "Bei Yuan" in front of him could understand his emotions and his grievances.

Terai's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Kitahara patted Terai's shoulder, turned his head, and said to Miyagawa, "Clean up the conference room and bring out some candy. Let our client have a good chat."

Although Bei Yuan didn't know what the client in front of him went through, why he bought this luxury car, and why he called this luxury car his "child".However, from Terai's eyes, Kitahara read the bitterness, the difficulty, and the helplessness of not being understood.

Perhaps it was this emotion that inexplicably touched Bei Yuan's heartstrings.

I thought of a certain man in my previous life, a certain man before rebirth, who seemed to be living with this emotion.

Sitting in the meeting room were Terai, Nazue, Miyagawa and Kitahara.Terai seemed to have finally opened a chat box that had been closed for decades, and the sorrow on his face was gone, as if seeing a confidant, he was as excited as a child talking about his experiences over the years—childhood dreams, Interesting stories in the workshop, depression during research and development, annoyance when data is lost, and pride when experiments are successful.

Although Najinjiang had a dark face, she had been quietly listening to her husband's words, and did not interrupt any more arrogantly.Everyone just listened to Terai talking about his stories.

Time passed minute by minute.

The clock ticked half past one.

Within a few hours, Terai seemed to finally find someone to talk to, dancing and talking about it, regardless of whether the audience really understood the terms of automobile engineering and mathematics. All the thoughts and emotions accumulated over the years are poured out
During these few hours, Terai felt very happy.

The burden that had been carried on his body all of a sudden suddenly seemed to be lifted.

This was the first time that he spoke freely of his thoughts in front of others.

This is also the first time that my wife listened to me talking about my dreams for many years so quietly and seriously.
