That evening,

Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant.

To their surprise, Zhou Na not only treated them to a meal, but also thoughtfully helped them trim their nails and pluck their gray hairs.

She's definitely a sweet and gentle girl.

On the way back to the staff dormitory,

Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were in a good mood. Although Zhou Na hadn't called them "Dad" and "Mom" yet, her thoughtful actions made them know that they were not far from officially recognizing them.

“I told you you were overthinking it. She’s basically accepted us in her heart, she just needs some time to adjust.”

Wang Xiuhua looked at her short nails and was very satisfied.

Zhou Dana did not refute. Zhou Na's change was indeed quite significant. She was much more enthusiastic than before. Although he always felt that something was strange about why Zhou Na would suddenly act so out of character, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Perhaps he was just being paranoid.

Zhou Dana didn't dwell on it; perhaps he was overthinking it.

"Just you wait and see. She will continue to contact us on her own initiative. After spending more time with her, she will completely accept us."

Wang Xiuhua looked confident.

Zhou Dana nodded: "That would be best. These past few days, I've racked my brains trying to please her, and it's given me a headache."

"We've finally overcome our hardships, so as long as the outcome is good, that's all that matters."

Wang Xiuhua was deeply moved, but she felt it was all worthwhile, as she had finally overcome the formidable challenge of dealing with Zhou Na.

Unbeknownst to the two, after they left, Zhou Na took her nails and hair and went straight to the hospital, paying a considerable sum for a paternity test.

Winter break begins

The next day, Zhou Chen first went to HarmonyOS Technology for an inspection.

In Zhou Chen's mind, HarmonyOS holds the highest position; all other businesses serve HarmonyOS and provide it with sustenance.

Because HarmonyOS is a very important foundation for Zhou Chen's next plan; without it, it would be impossible to continue developing a series of mobile software applications.

After a semester of development, HarmonyOS has made good progress and has achieved certain results in system development. Although it is still a long way from being finalized, it has at least made a good start.

Of course, the reason why he was able to make rapid progress was mainly due to the abundance of talent in the company. Zhou Chen's investment in talent was not low, and could even be said to be quite high. Looking across the country, there are very few companies that can reach the salary amount he offers, and even some listed companies cannot do so.

but,

Zhou Chen still felt it was a bit slow, because he knew that at this time, foreign countries were far ahead in the research and development of mobile phone systems.

Despite his efforts to recruit talent and his massive financial investment, developing a mobile operating system proved to be a difficult task.

He is a reincarnated person, but he does not master the technology of the mobile phone system. He only knows the future trend and provides rudimentary guidance based on his memories of his previous life.

Zhou Chen wanted to accelerate the process. Even if he couldn't catch up with foreign mobile phone systems before they entered the domestic market, he had to follow closely behind. He couldn't fall too far behind. If he waited until foreign mobile phone systems had gained a foothold in the domestic market before developing his own system, he would lose too many first-mover advantages.

During the meeting, after the idea of ​​accelerating research and development was mentioned, all the employees looked bitter and complained that it was difficult to achieve. For a while, many people expressed their own difficulties.

Zhou Chen listened to everyone's opinions. After the meeting, Zhou Chen felt a little heavy-hearted. He knew that the employees had tried their best, everyone was working hard, and even working overtime every day, but the speed was still slow.

The employees unanimously agreed that unless the number of R&D personnel increased tenfold, it might be possible to achieve that level. However, the problem is that while they are currently recruiting senior computer talent, recruiting ten times the current number of personnel is extremely difficult.

It should be noted that he contacted all the computer science talents from previous years at Yenching University, but only forty or fifty people remained. The vast majority were either poached by other companies or went abroad to develop their careers.

There seem to be a lot of talented people, but there are just too many people vying for them.

"It seems that's the only way!"

After much deliberation, Zhou Chen concluded that if he wanted to develop the HarmonyOS mobile operating system before 2010, he had to form a strong alliance with that company.

Given the other party's talent pool, it's possible for them to achieve this; otherwise, it would be quite difficult for them to do it on their own.

"Manager Su, try to arrange a meeting with Mr. Ren from Huawi."

Zhou Chen didn't want to be slow. As long as the HarmonyOS system was developed, he didn't mind giving away profits.

Su Jiajia knew better and didn't ask any more questions; she immediately went to carry out the plan.

To Zhou Chen's surprise, less than half an hour later, Su Jiajia brought back good news: President Ren was willing to meet with him in person.

This was both surprising and delightful for Zhou Chen.

Mr. Ren is being too kind.

Mr. Ren, a remarkable entrepreneur who single-handedly upheld the backbone of the nation, faced foreign sanctions without flinching and relentlessly persevered, ultimately thwarting those sanctions.

To be honest, Zhou Chen was indeed a little excited and nervous.

Previously, he could only see news about President Ren on TV and online. He never expected that after being reborn, he would have the opportunity to meet President Ren in person in real life.

Su Jiajia's eyes flashed with a hint of incomprehension. She rarely saw Zhou Chen show such an expression when meeting a business owner. Although that President Ren was indeed no ordinary entrepreneur, Zhou Chen's genius shouldn't be like this.

Little did Su Jiajia know the status that President Ren held in Zhou Chen's heart. He was an idol. There were only a few entrepreneurs that Zhou Chen admired the most, but if you were to say who ranked first, it would definitely be President Ren.
