Chapter 162 is highly anticipated.

Bai Yinshan glanced at Du Mingxuan, then turned and scolded the group: "Get out of here! Are you going to stay and continue to embarrass yourselves?!"

The group nodded in agreement and limped away.

"Mingxuan, what happened?" Zhang Pengfei quickly looked him over and, seeing that he was indeed alright, felt relieved.

Du Mingxuan smiled broadly: "It's nothing, we were just joking around."

It's good that everything is alright. It's almost 10 p.m., and he still has a lot to say to Bai Yinshan. He really doesn't have time to care about what Du Mingxuan and those other people were doing.

"Third, Third Master." When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although his way of addressing him was a bit stiff, Zhang Pengfei quickly changed his address. "Let's talk about the details of the case."

Zhang Pengfei's side had just begun to get down to business, while Chen Jingyang had already completed his negotiations with Chen Qishan. The next day, Li Jianren saw Chen Jingyang obediently appear in the conference room.

In the past few days, it seems that someone is deliberately stirring things up. The news of Chen Jingyang's resignation has not only spread throughout the tech industry, but has also become a trending topic. People all over the country know about this young master Chen's "recklessness".

As if overnight, Chen Jingyang went from a technical genius to an arrogant and conceited person.

The feeling of being publicly humiliated and trampled into a "drowned dog" by thousands of people seemed to completely crush him.

For the next month, Chen Jingyang did not cause any more trouble. He did whatever he was asked to do. Even when asked to take on an apprentice, he did not say a word of objection and did his best. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he taught the apprentice everything he knew.

Lin Zheyan finally couldn't sit still any longer and dragged Chen Jingyang out of the office before he even left work.

"Jingyang, what are you really thinking?"

Chen Jingyang feigned ignorance: "What do you mean, what were you thinking?"

Since Lin Zheyan's icy expression was damaged last time, it was no longer cold in front of him. He frowned and looked worried: "What's wrong with you? Is it worth risking your life for them?"

Chen Jingyang smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? It avoids making things difficult for each other, and everyone can relax."

"Good my ass!" Lin Zheyan really wanted to crack open his head to see what was inside: "You just so easily taught others such core technology, have you thought about the future?!"

He snorted angrily, "How are you going to survive in this industry? And that Sun Zhiwei, he was clearly sent by Zenti to steal our technology, didn't you know that?"

Chen Jingyang laughed nonchalantly, "So what? The more people who know how, the faster the iteration task will be completed. Isn't that good? Sun Zhiwei is quite smart; he learns it in no time. I'm very satisfied."

"You...!" Lin Zheyan stomped his foot in anger: "Once the iteration work is completed, Zenti's own algorithm team will be fully established. Didn't you see the news? Zenti has already started to expand!"

“Let them expand!” Chen Jingyang chuckled. “Zenti has long wanted to be the dominant force; we’re just adding fuel to the fire.”

"Are you really willing to accept this?! Look at the smug look on Li Jianren's face. Every time I see him, I want to kick him a couple of times. How do you manage to put up with it?"

Chen Jingyang clicked his tongue: "That's where you're wrong. What's wrong with people being smug? You can just ignore it."

“No, Jingyang, you… sigh!” Lin Zheyan gave up. “Do you have enough money? If not, I have some here. Don’t deprive yourself.”

After he learned that Chen Jingyang had returned the rented apartment, he also returned apartment 7005. He didn't know how he had discussed it with Chen Qishan, but anyway, he no longer needed to go home to sleep, nor did he need to perform the "8 am to 7 pm greetings" anymore.

A few days ago, he stayed at a three-star hotel just a few kilometers away from Tanzhi, saying it was convenient for commuting to and from get off work. But Lin Zheyan felt it wasn't that simple. He guessed that Chen Jingyang's money was running out, because yesterday Chen Jingyang didn't even stay at that three-star hotel anymore and wanted to move to the villa he bought for Zhang Pengfei.

But that villa was still a bare shell!

Chen Jingyang finally stopped smiling and nodded: "Don't worry, we won't have to worry about money."

Although Chen Qishan froze his credit cards and stopped paying him his salary, he still had some savings.

The watches and jewelry I bought before sold for several million, and after paying Zhang Pengfei's bodyguard fees, there was still some left.

Moreover, he is a genuinely skilled person. A few days ago, he took on an outsourced job, finished it in a week, and earned several hundred thousand yuan.

As long as he doesn't squander his money, he can easily support himself.

"Alright." He had said what he needed to say and asked what he needed to ask. Since Chen Jingyang was unwilling to reveal more, he couldn't force him. "I'll go help you pack your things."

"Lin Zheyan," Chen Jingyang called out to him, then asked abruptly, "Do you believe me?"

Lin Zheyan scoffed and laughed, "What do you think? When have I ever distrusted you?"

Chen Jingyang chuckled dryly and asked again, "So, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Zheyan was stumped by his question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "You are from a prestigious family, handsome, rich, knowledgeable, and loved by everyone..."

"Lin Zheyan!" Chen Jingyang interrupted him, "Remember this, I'm not someone who will let myself be taken advantage of. What's mine, I can give it to them if I don't want it, but you can't take it from me by force. I'll make them pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

He smiled brightly: "I will not let myself suffer losses. Everything I am doing now is under this premise. If you trust me, then cooperate fully with Chen Qinian's work and strive to complete the iteration work as soon as possible."

After Chen Jingyang stepped down as CTO, Lin Zheyan, who had been Chen Jingyang's special assistant, was immediately appointed as the president's assistant.

Firstly, Chen Qinian needs to leave a good impression on the outside world: Tanzhi is a company that clearly separates public and private matters, and will not completely negate the people involved because of the mistakes of some individuals.

Secondly, Lin Zheyan is the person who knows the projects best besides Chen Jingyang. Since Chen Qinian doesn't use Chen Jingyang, he can't let Lin Zheyan go either. Otherwise, he won't be able to quickly take control of the company, and he'll easily cause trouble.

Lin Zheyan's eyes lit up; this was the Chen Jingyang he knew!

He knew this guy must have other plans!

"Okay! Although I don't know what you're planning to do, since you've said so, I will definitely do my best to assist Chen Qinian."

Chen Jingyang watched Lin Zheyan walk away, then looked up at the sky.

The lonely sun sank below the treetops, and clouds from all directions pressed in, seemingly trying to swallow it up while it was still weak. But as soon as they got close, they were burned into blood-stained fragments by the scorching fireball.

Chen Jingyang's lips curled into a cold smile as he muttered to himself, "Expansion, huh? Domination, huh? How exciting!"
