Qiao Yanan quickly rushed to Xuan Ming's office and was quite surprised to learn that the United States had officially announced that 5G communication technology had entered the simulation stage.
Xuan Ming stared into her eyes and asked, "Minister Qiao, as far as I know, the US's 5G development speed is much slower than ours. Why did they suddenly overtake us? What do you think is the reason?"
He believed that Qiao Yanan would not sell Dr. Zhao's research results to the United States. After all, she also needed it to climb the ladder. However, Qiao Yanan had just used the Americans to kill Dr. Zhao when the United States announced a breakthrough in 5G technology. There must be a connection between them.
He called the person over not to hear an honest answer from her, but to intercept her conversation with the system.
Qiao Yanan mentally called out to the system, "248, what's going on over there in the US? How come they're one step ahead of us? Didn't you say they haven't made any crucial progress?"
248 replied gravely, "Host, don't you know better why the US is faster than us? I just hacked into their network and discovered that the 5G algorithm they obtained is exactly the same as Dr. Zhao's. This is definitely not a coincidence. Host, I remember you saying that after the US killed Dr. Zhao, they asked you for the 5G algorithm, and you randomly sent them a fake document. What exactly did you send them?"
After Dr. Zhao died, 248 followed the Bluetooth signal and got into the SUV that was about to explode to scan the chip in Dr. Zhao's body.
During the time it was away, the Americans happened to send a message to Qiao Yanan asking for the balance of the murder payment, which was the 5G algorithm.
Qiao Yanan finally remembered what happened and immediately panicked: "I didn't send anything! I randomly found a file marked with 5G from your trash and sent it to you. If you can throw it in the trash, it must be useless!"
248 almost failed.
It crawled into its own trash can, looked at the transmission record, and growled with gritted teeth, "Can't you understand? That's Dr. Zhao's calculation manuscript!"
Qiao Yanan was confused and aggrieved: "I don't understand! Can't the calculation manuscript be sent?"
248 took a deep breath, unable to suppress the rage within him. He roared, "Don't you know what an algorithm is? An algorithm is a process of deduction, a logic of thinking, and a direction of progress! For 5G technology, the result of the algorithm isn't important; what matters is the process, logic, and direction. And the algorithm draft is exactly what they want most!"
"Are you an idiot?" 248's voice cracked. "How many times have I told you to study hard? Study hard and don't rely so much on me. Why won't you study? If you had even a modicum of common sense or basic knowledge, you wouldn't have sent something this important!"
Qiao Yanan also got angry and fired back, "Since you knew this manuscript was so important, why did you throw it in the trash? You're completely misleading me! I said I didn't want to deal with the Americans, but you forced me to contact them. You even said you wanted to improve my abilities. Well, now that something's wrong, you're blaming me again. Anyway, whatever I do is wrong, and whatever you do is right! Then go and capture Xuan Ming. What do you want me to do?"
248 was completely speechless. It regretted its own foolishness in leaving such an important task to Qiao Yanan. A useless person with an IQ of only 80 or so could never become a genius, especially since she didn't know how to work hard and relied on others for everything.
"Forget it, now's not the time to argue about this. Let's just stick to the original plan." 248 sighed deeply and quickly explained, "I'll spread the news of Dr. Zhao's murder to drive down Haiming Group's stock price. When Haiming Group can't hold on, you'll step in and be the savior. With the pressure from the United States, Xuanming's situation should be even more difficult, which will actually be beneficial to us."
Qiao Yanan originally felt a little guilty, but upon hearing this, she immediately started to boast: "Look, I've hit the jackpot! The US wanted to destroy the Haiming Group, and I stood up in the most critical moment. Xuanming will definitely be grateful to me. The plan was not ruined, but became more perfect, right, system?"
248 responded weakly, then instructed, "I'll go guide public opinion online. You deal with Xuan Ming first."
The conversation between the two ended here.
Xuan Ming, who sat across from them, had a stern face, but his heart was filled with raging anger. He knew Qiao Yanan was an idiot, but he had no idea she could be this stupid.
Just because she got a system, a useless waste suddenly became the most outstanding female scientist in China. This is too ridiculous.
For the sake of her mission, she can kill people, steal achievements, play tricks on people, betray the interests of the company and even the country. She is simply a beast.
If the core 5G technology was not in her hands, Xuan Ming really wanted to hire someone to kill him.
"When can you derive the 5G algorithm?" Xuan Ming gritted his teeth, trying to make his tone sound less cold.
"I will try my best to speed up. Mr. Xuan, please believe me." Qiao Yanan said empty words.
"Okay, you can go out." Xuan Ming waved his hands, his face full of annoyance.
Qiao Yanan noticed his extreme depression and her heart tightened, but she couldn't stop her plan. If she didn't pull this powerful man down from the sky and throw him into the mud, he would never lower his head to see her existence.
"Then I'll go back to work. Goodbye, President Xuan." Qiao Yanan left the office and stood at the door for a while with hesitation on her face, but quickly hardened her heart and left without looking back.
Xuan Ming picked up the receiver and ordered in a cold voice, "Sun Jingshu, have the PR department closely monitor online activity. If news of Dr. Zhao's murder is released, immediately have someone delete it and control public opinion. Also, prepare a fund to deal with a stock price crash."
The other side answered yes repeatedly.
The agent sitting nearby said in surprise, "We've suppressed the news of Dr. Zhao's murder for you. Who dares to release it?"
"Those who aren't afraid of death will naturally be released. Some people, for the sake of profit, won't hesitate to do anything. Give the government a heads-up and ask them to cooperate with us as much as possible. We have a tough battle ahead."
"Are you being overly sensitive? We've contacted all the platforms, and they don't dare publish any news about Dr. Zhao." The agent waved his hand nonchalantly.
Xuan Ming cut open the cigar, put it in his mouth, and sneered, "Maybe I'm just too sensitive, just wait and see."
More than ten minutes later, all major online platforms simultaneously published the news of Dr. Zhao's murder, and also detailed the negative impact that Dr. Zhao's death would have on the Haiming Group.
Ordinary people only think that the person who did it is crazy, but industry insiders and shareholders smell danger.
So within half a day, the share price of Haiming Group fell by 7 percentage points, and financial giants from abroad set their sights on this piece of fat, ready to share it.
What’s even more bizarre is that this message appeared inexplicably on major platforms, no one was willing to step forward to take responsibility for it, and it was impossible to delete it.
Public opinion has been fermenting, stock prices have been plummeting, and the situation has completely gotten out of control.
Xuan Ming quickly gave up on PR and focused solely on raising funds to boost the stock price. The agent realized something was amiss and reported it to his superiors.
Haiming Group, which once stood at the top of the communications industry, is facing a life-and-death test. If it fails to hold on this time, it may declare bankruptcy.
Everyone in the company was in a panic, except Zhuang Li, who went to work as usual and left work as usual without asking any questions.
He took the subway back. The carriage was full of people. You were next to me, I was squeezing you. The air was filled with the smell of sweat, mixed with a faint scent of perfume, and occasionally the stench of athlete's foot. It mixed into an indescribable smell that made people dizzy.
But Zhuang Li did not feel uncomfortable, because as far as he could see, everyone here had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. It was a beauty that he could never dream of.
Looking at these compatriots and the flags of their homeland hanging on the lampposts, Zhuang Li felt extremely happy even though screams were ringing in his head all the time.
He found his way home according to the address he found on the Internet, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a familiar fragrance.
"Braised pork elbow?" He licked his lips, and the image of chewing on a braised pork elbow as a child flashed through his mind. It seemed that this country was the same as his homeland.
"Son, you're back! Sit down and have dinner. Daddy has stewed some braised pig's trotters for you! It's hot!" A man wearing patterned shorts and a white old man's shirt was talking with a laugh.
He was very strong, and when he sat down, his two fat white hands took turns patting his big belly, making him look like Maitreya Buddha.
Seeing his kind smile, Zhuang Li couldn't help but be stunned.
7480, however, seemed to have discovered a new world and said with a smile, "Host, I find that you are really not likable at all! Your mother's favorability towards you is actually -66! Is this a relative or an enemy?"
Only then did Zhuang Li realize that there was a woman sitting next to Maitreya Buddha. She was in her fifties, with ordinary looks but an extremely gloomy expression. She was staring at him with a cold look in her pupils.
This is Zhuang Li’s stepmother Chang Hui. They are not related by blood, so it is not surprising that their favorability is negative.
7480 continued to scan Zhuang Li's father, Zhuang Dahai, and said sarcastically: "Host, let me see how much your father likes you. Someone as evil as you shouldn't be loved by anyone. Hehehe, your father's favorability towards you is, is——"
It got stuck while talking.
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and said, "How much is it?" This was the first time he took the initiative to ask someone about their favorability towards him.
7480 didn't say anything, but Zhuang Li had already guessed the answer.
Needless to say, Zhuang Dahai must have an extremely good impression of his son, otherwise he would not have sold all the family properties one after another just to arrange a good life for his son in the second half of his life.
Zhuang Li was not a good son, but Zhuang Dahai never despised him. In his heart, his son was always the best.
"Son, what are you still standing there for? Come and have dinner. Dad will save the biggest elbow for you." Zhuang Dahai put on disposable gloves, fished out the elbow with the most meat and sauce from the basin, placed it on an empty plate, and added a full bowl of rice for his son.
Zhuang Li's eyes welled up, and his legs moved him involuntarily. Only then did he truly feel that this world would belong to him, and this home would also belong to him.
