Since returning from the modern world, Yan Xiao learned from the system that he had caused a deviation in the course of history, resulting in excessively rapid technological development.

He then intentionally began to conceal his brilliance.

Even though Yan Xiao didn't want to attract attention, certain departments still came knocking on his door.

Yan Xiao was stopped at the door of his house by a young man wearing glasses when he went out with Wen Qinghe.

After hearing the other party's purpose, he first asked Wen Qinghe to wait at home for a while before following the person to the well-packaged car parked by the roadside.

Ten minutes later.

The black car door opened.

The man at the head, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, looked to be only in his forties, but the aura he exuded suggested that he had long held a high position.

Yet this very person treated Yan Xiao with respect, his words filled with admiration.

"Mr. Yan, although it is regrettable that we cannot work with you, our entire department looks forward to your research results. We will provide any assistance you may need."

Yan Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for making this trip."

After Yan Xiao left.

Inside the car.

"Director Zhang, you agreed so easily?"

Director Zhang, who was in charge, shrugged.

"What else can we do? People like that don't care about money, and they don't care about power either."

"You heard me just now; I practically handed him the director's position, and he remained unmoved. We could only appeal to his emotions and reason with him."

Besides, being forceful won't work either. Putting aside his large size, it would take some effort and thought to subdue him.

In other words, if they accidentally bump into or hurt someone again, and their superiors find out, they'll be in serious trouble.

Moreover, his own father was a hero, and he was appointed as a high-ranking commander as soon as he returned.

My mother is no less impressive; she used to be a battalion commander, and I heard that she has recently recovered and the higher-ups intend to give her an important position.

Once the top military officer retires, his father might have to wait to be appointed as a candidate at any time.

His father-in-law is a renowned professor at Peking University who has taught countless outstanding talents, with his students spread across various fields.

I heard that when he returned last year, during the Spring Festival, prominent figures from all over the country practically wore out his doorstep, coming to pay their respects and visit him.

This is definitely a powerful network of connections.

And considering Yan Xiao's own strength, well, there's nothing we can do; some people are just born to be admired.

Oh well, gold shines wherever it is. In any case, we are all contributing to the country. Even if we are not fortunate enough to be colleagues, it is not a regret.

…

Winter of 1978.

Since the reform and opening up.

Yan Xiao first took over several factories in the suburbs of Beijing, focusing on the production of smart appliances. He didn't need to worry about various certificates and procedures; someone would personally deliver them to him.

After all, with the backing of the nation, Yan Xiao is seen by many as a promising rising star in science and technology, so such a good thing that promotes science and technology and economic development naturally receives the green light all the way.

At the end of the same year, Yan Xiao took Feng Tiezhu and Xu Xian to Pengcheng.

Yan Xiao bought land to build a factory and office buildings.

Feng Tiezhu, being a perfect fit for the job, was fully responsible for building skyscrapers from scratch.

Xu Xian was in charge of purchasing materials and taking the opportunity to expand the business from Beijing to Shenzhen.

The following year.

Yan Xiao expanded the scale of his factory and, with the strong support of the state, established Qinghe Intelligent Group Co., Ltd.

And simultaneously develop subsidiaries across the country.

China's domestic scientific and technological development is far ahead of the rest of the country, a large number of overseas talents have returned to China, and China's development has reached a new level.

Two years later.

China's GDP is comparable to that of the United States, and there is even a trend of China surpassing it.

In the same year, Wen Qinghe, the actual controller of Qinghe Group, and her remarkable working-class husband Yan Xiao held a grand and dreamlike wedding witnessed by alumni of Peking University.

The event was incredibly high-tech, from the bride and groom to the emcee and the food delivery staff.

Every single one of them is incredibly good-looking, practically perfect.

However, after the wedding, everyone realized that apart from the bride, groom, and guests, everyone else was a lifelike robot.

This caused an instant sensation in China and even sparked heated discussions abroad.

For many days afterward, this grand wedding was the talk of the town in Beijing.

However, not long after...

The lifelike robot, which had only appeared once at Wen Qinghe and Yan Xiao's wedding and had not yet been officially introduced to everyone by the Qinghe Group, was surprisingly announced to everyone by a small company that was established at an unknown time.

Before Yan Xiao could investigate the reason, the small company accused him of plagiarizing their unpublished research results and exhibiting them in advance at his wedding.

What was originally a laughable and absurd claim turned out to be solid evidence, thanks to the clear blueprints and original drawings provided by the other party.

It seems like a done deal.

These words caused an uproar.

After all, the profits and honors that Yanxiao's products bring are directly linked to the powerful backers behind him.

Although only a limited number of people have seen the lifelike robot at the wedding, everyone knows that it must have been developed by Yanxiao and will be announced by Qinghe Group in the future.

But now that the plagiarism incident has come to light, many people are beginning to doubt whether the Qinghe Group they trust and the tech genius Yan Xiao are truly just empty names.

In a short time, Qinghe Company's reputation plummeted, and the product supply chain developed by Yan Xiao was also impacted.

Many of the products that were listed were boycotted by some people.

Some partners also terminated their cooperation on the grounds that Yan Xiao was of bad character and that Qinghe Group was not trustworthy.
