The assistant didn't dare to say what he was thinking, because Royce's face was already quite unhappy at this time.

"You mean the batch we seized last year?"

"Mr. Royce, you still remember that they were also used to make panoramic helmets back then."

Last year, Aldatong unilaterally tore up only one or two contracts, all of which were with technology companies from Country Z, so it’s easy to remember them.

At that time, they failed to buy chips from Aldacom, so they went to several other leading international integrated circuit companies.

Naturally, they were all rejected without exception.

“Now it’s changed to 0.22nm?”

"It's not certain yet whether it's 0.22nm. I've already secured a spot in the online pre-sale channel and am now waiting for delivery."

Royce stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the city, his brows furrowed in a frown.

Are 0.22nm chips so readily available in Country Z? A new brand of phone was using one, and now a tech company that can't buy advanced chips anywhere else in the world is also using a 0.22nm chip?

He wanted to see whether the e-ne helmet was actually powered by a 0.22nm chip, and how many other electronic products would use the 0.22nm chip.

The pre-sale channel for the e-ne helmet has been opened and is currently in the promotion stage.

Although e-ne's latest panoramic helmet has limited application scenarios and has a certain threshold in price and positioning, it does not hinder its popularity in the digital technology circle.

As an emerging technology company that emerged in the past few years, they have launched many popular products, including futuristic punk-style smart watches, wearable smart glasses, etc., which have caused a sensation and many stars and celebrities have rushed to buy them.

So this time, digital enthusiasts quickly spread the news.

After waiting for half a year, almost a year, I finally got the new product from e-ne.

Digital bloggers like Tong Yang immediately forwarded e-ne's news and sent warm blessings.

Only after they forwarded it did they have time to look back at the parameters.

The result scared many digital bloggers and netizens.

[Northeast's No. 1 Jealous King]: Am I seeing right? The e-ne helmet also uses a 0.22nm chip?!

[炸智了猴]: That’s amazing! What’s going on recently? Suddenly everyone is using 0.22nm chips.

[YVC]: I am not very familiar with the regulations in the industry. Is there any expert who can explain it to me? Is the 0.22nm written in their parameters the technical 0.22nm, or is it just a name given to it?

[Please get ashore]: I am also a newbie in technology, and I just want to know if you are playing word games.

[I want to buy a full set of skins for my son]: Didn’t Xiaoge from AiCePing take the chip for testing last time? Are the results out? Is it 0.22nm?

[Sugar-coated Fruit]: Laoyang announced the result a long time ago, it is indeed 0.22nm, the technology is genuine.

[nickname is taken]: Damn, does this mean we've broken through the technological blockade?

[Don’t Want to Die]: Wait, is this really our own technology, not from a foreign company?

[Yutu Chasing the Moon]: Of course it's our own technology! Didn't you read the official statement from XIU? This is their technology! The energy harvester and the odor sensor were all developed by their company, DL!

[Naughty Boy]: No wonder, the first two products to use 0.22nm chips were both domestically produced.

[User 27648]: 0.22nm! Awesome! DL is awesome! I want to buy a ton of phones!

[I want XIU]: Thank you, it’s impossible to get it/hehe.

After the parameters of the e-ne helmet were announced, some people heard the news and those who originally didn't want to buy the helmet became eager to buy it.

The first batch of pre-sale goods was quickly sold out.

At the same time, more and more domestic technology companies are beginning to pay attention to the suddenly emerging 0.22nm chips.

When they first heard the rumors about the 0.22nm chip, no one took it seriously because scientific common sense told them that the current level of technology was not enough to produce a 0.22nm chip.

In addition, most technology companies do not have the technology and equipment to test chips, so even if they get the "XIU" chips, they will not know where to start.

Therefore, after the news spread throughout the industry, they finally believed in the technology of 0.22nm chips and began to call for consultation.

Sister Tu received a call, but because it was about chips, she didn't answer any of them.

No matter how anxious the other party was, Sister Tu told them to wait until the boss went out for something and make a decision after she came back.

The other party anxiously asked when the boss would be back.

Sister Tu had no idea, so she told them to wait. She still hoped Dai Li would come back soon.

There is a huge difference whether Dai Li is in the company or not. Many things cannot be solved without her.

But Sister Tu thought of the phone call that called Dai Li out. If the situation was not good, she would probably have to delay for several more days.

As the company's decision-maker, Dai Li was rushing to the hospital at this time.

She just received a call from the Cheng family. She wanted to hang up directly, but the other party was talking about Grandpa Cheng, so she patiently listened to the end.

It turned out that Mr. Cheng had been in poor health since the end of last year, but Mr. Cheng didn't want to worry the original owner, so he kept stopping the Cheng family from calling to tell her. Now his health condition has taken a turn for the worse and he may pass away at any time.

Although Mr. Cheng had his own selfish motives when he brought the original owner to the Cheng family, he was very responsible during the original owner's growth process. She always received more gifts and red envelopes than his two grandsons, and he cared about her more than his two grandsons.

At the beginning, Mr. Cheng did not propose that the original owner and Cheng Shangyu get engaged. It was only after he discovered that the original owner liked Cheng Shangyu that he forced the Cheng family to agree.

Old Master Cheng was not stupid, so how could he not see that the other people in the Cheng family did not like the original owner and did not want her to marry into the Cheng family?

He knew that the original owner must have suffered a lot of grievances, so he often told her privately that as long as she was happy, no matter what decision she made, grandpa would support her and back her up.

To be fair, Mr. Cheng has been really good to the original owner over the years. It's much better than her being kicked around by all her relatives in the countryside, being looked down upon and having to eat at many people's houses.

Similarly, the original owner had a very deep affection for Mr. Cheng and was always grateful to him.

So after hearing the news that Mr. Cheng was critically ill, Dai Li decided to go there in person. If Mr. Cheng could not survive this time, she would send the old man off on behalf of the original owner.

It can also be considered as a way to show filial piety to the original owner, so that the old man can pass away without any regrets.

Mr. Cheng lives in a private hospital.

The environment here is good, it is built on the mountain and the greening is also very good.

Because it is a private hospital, there are not many patients in the hospital, but those who come and go are all dignitaries. Needless to say, they drive luxury cars and wear high-end brands.

Dai Li was the only one in the hospital who came wearing cheap clothes.

She seemed out of place here, and even the nurse who was guiding her looked at her curiously a few times.

But Dai Li didn't care about these things. She wore whatever was comfortable for her.

The most complicated and formal outfit she had ever worn in her life was the skirt that Sister Tu forced her to wear when she went to record a show.

Now she basically stays in her own laboratory, and Sister Tu doesn't care about her clothes anymore. She dresses more and more casually.

Today she temporarily put down her work and came here, still wearing the jumpsuit she wore when working in the laboratory.

This work suit is more casual and there is nothing wrong with wearing it out, but you can tell at a glance that it is not high-end clothing.

Especially after seeing Cheng's mother, she looked even more shabby compared to Cheng's mother who was dressed in jewels.

Outside the ward suite, Cheng's mother looked at her with disdain: "Why don't you change your clothes?"

Dai Li: "You can't see Grandpa Cheng without changing clothes?"

Mother Cheng scolded him, "When you dress like this, the old man will think you're not doing well. His health is not good to begin with. Do you have the heart to make him worry about you?"

Dai Li also looked at her: "Auntie, you are dressed very nicely, but you are dressed like this to accompany him. Doesn't Grandpa Cheng think that you are happy to see the old man sick?"

Mother Cheng was choked speechless, and then immediately became anxious.

"You are slandering me!"

"If you don't want people to misunderstand you, then be careful with your clothes. This is a hospital, not a place for shopping."

Mother Cheng wanted to say something but was stopped by Father Cheng.

"Okay, we're all family, so let's not dwell on trivial matters. Dad is still in the ward."

Cheng's father winked at her, and Cheng's mother tactfully swallowed the words on her lips.

Dai Li didn't want to get entangled with them. She looked at the rooms inside the suite and wanted to go in directly.

"Is Grandpa Cheng in there?"

Father Cheng stopped her and said, "Sit outside for a while. The old man just fell asleep. Let's go in when he wakes up."

"I'll go in and wait for Grandpa Cheng to wake up." Dai Li acted as if she didn't hear what he said. She didn't want to stay and stare at the Cheng family.

Seeing that he couldn't get her to stop, Father Cheng stopped her in front and said, "Wait, we have something serious to discuss with you."

Dai Li looked over coldly and questioned him, "Do I have to discuss this with you first? If I don't, I won't be able to see you?"

Her aura is really not something that ordinary people can withstand. Even Cheng's father, who is very adept at business, was stunned.

Dai Li was too lazy to pretend to be the original owner in front of the Cheng family. She didn't know how to flatter them. She was not afraid that the Cheng family would notice any difference between her and before.

Father Cheng looked at her in astonishment. He had heard from Mother Cheng and the Cheng brothers that Dai Li had changed a lot recently. Only after seeing it with his own eyes did he realize that Dai Li's changes were extraordinary.

But now is not the time to investigate her changes, let’s get down to business.

"It's the old man's illness. I think you should understand his condition before you go in to see him."

Dai Li had no objection to this. Even though she was unwilling to deal with the Cheng family, she still stayed.

Just as Mr. Cheng was about to speak, the door outside the suite opened again.

The two brothers Cheng Shangyu came in this time.

The two brothers saw that she was no longer indifferent to them, and even Cheng Shangyuan greeted her, although it was a greeting he made reluctantly.

Dai Li pretended not to see it and didn't even nod.

The two brothers had subtle expressions, but neither of them said anything.

Compared with Mr. Cheng's illness, Mr. Cheng was more concerned about his business. When he saw Cheng Shangyu coming back, he immediately asked him about his business.

"Is the call over? What did DL say?"

The Cheng family's company has recently begun to get involved in the technology industry, and recently took over a company that makes balance bikes.

Nowadays, for all electronic devices, replacing lithium batteries with energy harvesters is a major development trend, and balance bikes that rely on lithium batteries for endurance must naturally keep up.

So they are also trying their best to contact DL company and strive to reach cooperation with them as soon as possible.

Cheng Shangyu: "They said they are not accepting orders recently. Their orders are all scheduled until next year."

Cheng's father said enviously, "This DL company that suddenly appeared must be making a lot of money. We have to queue up to send them money."

"You don't have to queue up, and even if you queue up and give money, you don't necessarily get the phone," Cheng Shangyuan said with deep insight. "My classmates queued up in the early morning and couldn't buy it. Even after the store closed, the people in line wouldn't leave, queuing all night to get the phone. Guan Chengliang was the only one in our class who got the XIU phone first, and he paid the full price. He wouldn't tell me how he got it when I asked him."

"XIU" mobile phones are now hard to come by. Scalpers in the second-hand market have been selling them for 50,000 yuan, and there are only one or two of them. If you want to buy them at a high price, you won't be able to find a place to rip them off.

Except for Guan Chengliang, no one in Cheng Shangyuan's class has an "XIU" mobile phone, including himself.

Cheng Shangyu expressed his opinion: "Based on DL's current development trend and the invention patents they hold, it goes without saying that the future market will belong to them."

Father Cheng nodded in agreement.

Cheng Shangyu: "But with their own production capacity, it is obviously unrealistic for them to supply the huge domestic market. So I think if we can get authorization from DL Company and produce their patented products, there will definitely be no shortage of sales."

Cheng Shangyuan agreed with both hands: "I think so too. There are too few XIU phones produced by DL now. It's hard to buy them even if you want to."

Cheng's father said, "Then you should contact the person in charge of DL Company as soon as possible, and don't let others get there first."

Cheng Shangyu: "I just mentioned my idea to their person in charge, but he said that the decision has to be made by the boss. The boss is out today and is not sure when he will be back."

Father Cheng nodded and said, "Since you didn't directly refuse, it means there's room for negotiation. You should take this matter to heart and call him every day to show your concern."

Cheng Shangyu: "I know what to do, don't worry, Dad."

The boss of DL Company is now very impatient and has lost all patience in waiting.

She looked around and said, "Where's Grandpa Cheng's medical record? Let me take a look at it myself."

The Cheng family didn't talk about business for a long time, so she decided to take a look at the medical record herself.

When the Cheng family looked over, she had already found the medical record and opened it.

"Do you understand?" Mother Cheng was not being sarcastic, but was really curious whether she could understand it. After all, Mother Cheng herself couldn't understand it.

Dai Li flipped through each page of the case twice to grasp the key information.

"Kidney failure, secondary anemia... uremia."

Father Cheng sighed and said, "It's already in the late stage."

Cheng Shangyu: "Now he has to undergo kidney dialysis three or four times a week, and each session takes four hours. Grandpa is old, and each dialysis session is very taxing on his body."

Cheng's mother said, "The old man has been on dialysis recently and his hair has almost fallen out. He's also very thin. Even so, they didn't let us tell you because they were afraid you would worry about him."

Cheng Shangyuan said sourly, "Before Grandpa came back from his hometown, the person he wanted to see the most was you. After he came back and was diagnosed with the disease, the person he was most afraid to tell was you."

Dai Li glanced at him indifferently, feeling that it was very childish for him to be jealous in such a place.

She closed the medical record book and said, "It's not a big deal. Uremia is very treatable."

Cheng's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "The doctor told us the same thing. As long as there is a suitable kidney, uremia is very treatable. There are five healthy people in our family. As long as one of them is a good match, the old man can be saved."

"Then who among you is worthy?" Dai Li's eyes swept over the Cheng family members one by one.

Cheng Shangyuan looked around and saw no one was talking: "We..."

Cheng's mother: "We are not worthy of it."

Dai Li had already seen through their intentions and asked with amusement, "You called me here to get a matching diagnosis? Your whole family, your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all here, and you want me, an outsider, to get a matching diagnosis?"

Cheng's mother still said stubbornly: "We are a match, but we are not a match."

"There must be some results after the matching," Dai Li spread her hands in front of Cheng's mother, "Where is the examination report?"

Cheng's mother hesitated and couldn't take it out.

Cheng Shangyu stood up and told the truth: "We didn't match. Grandpa doesn't agree with us matching with him. We plan to do it secretly. We asked you to come because you have the right to know. You can choose whether to go with us or not. We won't force you to do the matching."

Obviously, his words were different from the results discussed in advance, and Cheng's mother reacted the most.

"What do you mean she can choose whether to go or not? Your grandfather is so good to her. Compared to you two brothers, she is more like your grandfather's granddaughter. Your grandfather is so seriously ill now, and she doesn't even show any expression?"

"Mom, any organ donation must be voluntary. You can't force people to donate."

"But..." She couldn't let her son and husband donate. Mother Cheng couldn't bear to donate either of them. Her husband and son were both the apple of her eye.

She looked at Dai Li and said, "How could you be so heartless as to ignore the old man and not want to save him even if you could?"

Before Cheng's mother finished speaking, the door of the suite was pushed open.

"I told you not to bother her, but you've turned a deaf ear to my words while I'm still alive, right?!"

Old Master Cheng was still on an IV drip. He had lost a lot of weight compared to the original owner's memory. His cheeks were sunken and his hair had almost all fallen out. It seemed that the kidney dialysis had taken a toll on him.

Although he had to pant after taking two steps, he still insisted on walking to Dai Li's side and holding Dai Li's hand with his bony hand.

"Child, you've lost weight again recently. Don't follow other girls and go on a diet. They're all as thin as bamboo poles. Girls look better with a little fat. Look at you when you were a kid, your chubby face was so cute."

People who really care about you will always think that you have lost weight, although in fact it is Dai Li who has gained weight recently. Wu Xuelin has been cooking in the canteen, and it smells so good.

To Dai Li herself, Mr. Cheng was a complete stranger, and she was actually not very good at responding to the concern of unfamiliar elders.

I could only politely ask about his health: "How are you feeling recently?"

Old Master Cheng clapped her hands with a smile: "Good, good, now that I've seen you, my child, Grandpa is feeling better."

It was obvious that the old man was forcing a smile. After chatting for a few sentences, he was obviously exhausted and quickly found a single sofa to sit on.

Cheng Shangyu: "Grandpa, just agree to let us do the matching."

Old Master Cheng still firmly opposed it: "I am already half buried in the ground. I have lived enough. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. Don't bother yourself for an old man like me."

Mother Cheng: "Grandpa, aren't you forcing us to be unfilial?"

Old Master Cheng was tired of being asked, so this time he asked directly: "Are you willing to match with an old man like me?"

Based on his understanding of his daughter-in-law, she is an extreme egoist. It is definitely impossible to ask her to devote herself to others.

Hearing this, Cheng's mother became anxious. Although she was reluctant to donate a family member's kidney, she also didn't want to see Mr. Cheng pass away like this.

She had previously disagreed with her husband and son doing matching, mainly because she wanted to persuade Dai Li to go first. If Dai Li really wasn't a match, she would be the second one to go.

Anyway, her son and husband must be put last.

She instinctively glanced at Dai Li first, then said solemnly, "Of course I am willing. Not only am I willing, but our whole family is willing. If it were me, we should all be matched together. With so many of us, there must be one who is worthy."

As long as Dai Li is the only one who can match the condition, it will be easy. She has connections with this private hospital, so she can just say that Dai Li is the only one who can match the condition.

Cheng's mother: "Dai Li, please say something too. Our family has no other opinions. We have long wanted to match with the old man. Now it depends on your opinion."

Everyone looked at Dai Li.

Dai Li said without hesitation, "My opinion is very simple. I will not do the matching."

Even though Mr. Cheng did not agree with them doing the matching, he was stunned by her decisive refusal.

However, Mr. Cheng was still very pleased that she could make her own decisions and refused moral blackmail.

I'm afraid that she will still be the same as before, indecisive, always hesitant, and easily controlled by her personal emotions.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to leave with peace of mind.

Cheng's mother: "You don't even want to do a blood test?"

She almost cursed out the three words "ungrateful wolf".

Father Cheng: "Although there are some frictions between us, Dai Li, this old man can't find any fault with you. Don't you really consider it at all?"

Dai Li sat there, indifferent.

Cheng Shangyuan: "I knew you were this kind of person. Even Sister Yan Xin asked to be matched with Grandpa, and you could refuse so ruthlessly?"

"Enough!" Old Master Cheng frowned and growled, "You all speak righteously. I've watched you all grow up. Don't think I don't know what you're planning."

Mother Cheng pouted and stopped talking to Father Cheng.

Cheng Shangyuan turned his head away, looking unconvinced.

Dai Li: "Why? In your eyes, not matching is like watching someone die without helping them?"

Cheng Shangyuan snorted coldly and muttered, "How can we save him without a matching test?"

Dai Li: "Now we have bionic kidneys, so we don't need to remove human kidneys anymore."

"Bionic kidney?"

The Cheng family had never heard of this.

"We use biotechnology to grow a pair of fresh and healthy kidneys."

Cheng Shangyuan: "You mean to replace the fake kidney with my grandfather's? Aren't you harming my grandfather?"

Dai Li's brows were almost knotted: "Your academic performance must not be very good."

He even understands bionic kidneys as fake kidneys.

After hearing what her son said, Cheng's mother quickly waved her hands and refused: "No, no, how can a fake kidney compare to a real one? If a person gets a pair of fake kidneys, how uncomfortable it would be. Real kidneys are better."

Cheng Shangyu thought seriously for a while and said, "This kidney prevention method you mentioned hasn't been promoted yet, has it?"

Even without promotion, the supply is already insufficient to meet the demand, and those who really want to save their lives will come to you without waiting for your promotion.

Dai Li: "There have been many successful examples."

She gave a few examples, but her examples were too "sci-fi" to the Cheng family, and the more they listened, the more fake they seemed.

Cheng's mother: "Where did you hear that story? You think you're taking it seriously?"

Cheng Shangyuan: "Your story is quite interesting. You can replace the skin on your entire body, replace a missing half head, and even replace missing eyes. Which novel is it? Tell me the name so I can read it."

Father Cheng: "I think it's safer to go with a matching type. Forget about those other messy fake kidneys."

Dai Li was too lazy to explain to the Cheng family and asked Mr. Cheng directly.

"Grandpa Cheng, I'll help you get a bionic kidney. Are you willing to exchange it?"

The Cheng family members looked at Old Man Cheng.

People of Mr. Cheng's age don't understand what bionic technology is, nor do they understand the principles behind it.

He only knew that Dai Li wanted him to have a bionic kidney, and his family wanted Dai Li's kidney.

Comparing the two options, he decided to listen to Dai Li.

He is already this old. If he can survive with a bionic kidney, he will survive. If he can't, it means that he has not wasted his kidneys. At least Dai Li's kidneys are still in good condition.

"Of course. I think the bionic kidney Dai mentioned is quite reliable."

The Cheng family was in a panic.

Cheng's mother: "Dad, why are you so confused? You believe everything she says?"

Father Cheng: "Dad, let's not change. Can we do dialysis first?"

Cheng Shangyu frowned and said, "Grandpa, you should think about it carefully again. Don't make a decision so quickly."

Cheng Shangyuan was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish: "Grandpa, you are still partial to her even now, playing with your own life to please her."

Old Master Cheng is still the man with the final say in the Cheng family. No matter who raises objections, they are of no consequence in front of him.

In the end, due to his persistence, the Cheng family was defeated.

Facing the ward that had finally quieted down, Dai Li took the initiative to hold Mr. Cheng's hand.

"Grandpa Cheng, I know you don't actually believe in my skills."

Old Master Cheng smiled and clapped her hands: "Child, Grandpa doesn't disbelieve me. Grandpa believes what you say. You have seen a lot of things outside, and you must know a lot of things that Grandpa has never heard of."

Dai Li shook her head: "Grandpa Cheng, you don't need to explain it to yourself like this."

The smile on Mr. Cheng's face faltered, with a hint of embarrassment at being seen through.

Dai Li smiled and said, "I will prove to you with facts that your choice to believe me today is absolutely correct."
