Chapter 23 Zhuang Li: Dad, I make money.



5G technology has not yet been officially launched, but 6G technology has already been developed. If someone else said this, Xuan Ming would not believe a word of it.

But now, he looked at the other person with a serious expression, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I don't need 6G technology for the time being, but I will give you this laboratory."

Zhuang Li tilted his head, his long and thin eyebrows raised slightly, and his head full of curly hair seemed to have turned into a head full of question marks.

Xuan Ming couldn't help but laugh. Curly's heart was like a black hole, completely unable to see through, but his straightforward and vivid facial expression betrayed everything he was thinking.

"Your 5G technology was almost stolen today," Xuan Ming said frankly. "Qiao Yanan told me she was addicted to drugs and her mind was confused, but I've investigated her privately, and I know there's a highly skilled hacker behind her. That person can help her steal the latest scientific research results from around the world and delete all the data on the computers of the real developers."

"She almost sold your 5G technology to the US today. Luckily, you had the foresight to write a paper, submit it, and apply for a patent first."

Xuan Ming pointed to his solar plexus and said, "Mr. Zhuang, that hacker's skills are very advanced. All your research and development results must be stored here and cannot be put on the computer. Do you understand?"

Since Curly Hair also had a system in his head, Xuan Ming chose to only reveal part of the truth. If these systems knew that he could intercept their conversations, the consequences would be disastrous.

A light burst out from Zhuang Li's slightly widened eyes. The slender eyebrow on the left was now raised higher. His crimson lips slowly opened, and slowly formed an extremely pleasant arc.

"Relying solely on a hacker, an ordinary person who knows nothing can become the world's top scientist? It sounds very interesting." He clapped his hands, looking interested like a child who had discovered a new toy.

Seeing that he wasn't nervous at all, Xuan Ming's inner anxiety was surprisingly relieved. Curly Hair was worthy of being Curly Hair; he dared to confront any tough opponent. It looked like he was planning to test Qiao Yanan's system.

Xuan Ming made a promise while speculating: "Mr. Zhuang, just keep this in mind. I will have the lab you requested set up by noon tomorrow. It will be on the -4th floor of this building."

Zhuang Li took back his phone, switched it from airplane mode to open mode, and said matter-of-factly, "I'll focus on my personal research. You can find someone else to take charge of 5G development. If he has any questions, he can ask me."

"No problem." Xuan Ming agreed straightforwardly.

"Then I'll take my leave." Zhuang Li stood up and subconsciously looked at the filing cabinet next to him. With the help of the reflection from the glass door, he tidied the curly hair on his temples into a beautiful shape.

Xuan Ming used his fist to block the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up.

Zhuang Li continued to adjust his tie, smoothed out the wrinkles on his hem, turned sideways and looked up and down, making sure that there was nothing wrong with his personal appearance before walking towards the door.

However, just as he took a step forward, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

He took it out and looked at it, and one of his long eyebrows raised again.

Xuan Ming, who had carefully interpreted every micro-expression of Curly, realized almost immediately that he was in trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble by nature and instead took pleasure in it.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuang Li answered the phone, he heard a roar from the other end: "Zhuang Li, where the hell have you been? Do you know how many times I called you today? Not only did you falsify your academic qualifications, you were also absent from work without reason. You've lost your salary this month! Hurry back, sign your resignation letter, and get out!"

Zhuang Li listened in silence, then handed the phone to Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming: “…”

"Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Xuan Xuan Xuan, President Xuan?" The voice on the other end was very familiar with his voice, and their tongues immediately became tied.

"What qualifications do you have to fire the R&D director I just appointed? Please give me a reasonable explanation." Xuan Ming continued to ask.

"R&D Director?" There was a pause, followed by a rustling noise. Someone whispered, "Boss, it's true. The company website has been updated. Zhuang Li is the new R&D Director. Look."

Suddenly, it became very noisy over there, with many people shouting "How is this possible? I don't believe it" and so on.

After a while, Xuan Ming heard a trembling voice, full of fear and trepidation, saying, "Mr. Xuan, everything that just happened was a misunderstanding. Is Minister Zhuang still here? I want to apologize to him."

Xuan Ming listened without saying a word, then returned the phone to Curly Hair.

But Zhuang Li hung up the phone directly.

Xuan Ming saw that he was frowning and seemed a little unhappy, so he handed him a heavy document bag and said, "This is the property certificate of the villa. It also contains your salary card. There is a total of 100 million yuan in the card. In addition to the 60 million yuan bonus, I have also paid your annual salary in advance."

He opened the drawer and took out a key of exquisite workmanship. He continued, "Since you have fully understood 5G technology and your contribution to the company has far exceeded expectations, I have increased my reward. This car is yours from now on."

Zhuang Li took the briefcase but not the car keys. "That lab is enough to offset all the rewards. You gave too much."

"I believe your value is definitely more than these tens of billions. Your brain is the most expensive and most promising investment in the world." Xuan Ming was very sure of this.

Zhuang Li's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed, his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and he actually smiled brilliantly: "You are also the most visionary investor I have ever met." He took the car keys happily and calmly.

It turns out that the little curly-haired girl also likes to hear flattery. Xuan Ming secretly took this into account and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Then I'll go home first. I hope to see my laboratory tomorrow." Zhuang Li twirled the car keys around his fingertips, tucked the briefcase under his arm, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

"I'll take you there." Xuan Ming quickly controlled the wheelchair to catch up.

"You have too many bodyguards." Zhuang Li looked back at the group of strong men.

Xuan Ming was about to say, "If you don't like them, I can fire a few of them," but he heard Curly Hair become more demanding and said, "Can you lend them to me to move to? I promised my dad that he would live in the big villa today."

"Of course." Xuan Ming couldn't help laughing.

The two of them went down to the 17th floor together. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a whisper:

"Here he comes, Zhuang Li is here!"

"Hiss! President Xuan is walking with him!"

"He really became the minister!"

"Where does he get this ability from? It must be fake!"

Everyone craned their necks to look over here, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Even the people at our company didn't believe that Curly really had that kind of power, let alone foreign forces. So Curly was safe for the time being, and future plans could be made slowly.

Xuan Ming walked to Curly's desk while thinking, and naturally helped him organize the scattered documents, disassembled the laptop and put it into the briefcase, and then turned off the desktop computer.

Zhuang Li didn't even try to stop him, nor did he seem frightened. Instead, he picked up the cactus and made a request: "I want this. I need to put a lot of potted plants in my lab."

"No problem." Xuan Ming placed the briefcase on his knees and said gently, "You can make a list of the plants you like, and I'll have someone go buy them right away."

"Let me check." Zhuang Li took out his cell phone, his face showing obvious joy.

Curly liked green plants, and Xuan Ming took this into account.

When the two of them walked to the elevator, the director of the administrative department and the director of the human resources department caught up with them, sweating profusely, and apologized to Zhuang Li repeatedly.

"... Minister Zhuang, actually your elder brother has reported you several times, and I was the one who suppressed the news. You live under the same roof, and you see each other every day. You must be careful when you get along with each other in the future. The old saying is right, people's hearts are hidden." In order to divert the conflict, the Minister of Personnel quietly said these few words.

The elevator door slowly closed, and Zhuang Li's face remained calm, as if he was not surprised at all by the news.

Xuan Ming took out his phone and looked up Chang Dongming, discovering he was one of his assistants. He immediately considered transferring him. He now particularly hated those who played tricks behind his back.

Elsewhere, Zhuang Dahai and Chang Hui finally completed their divorce formalities and were on their way home together. Chang Dongming had taken a day off to accompany them, fearing his mother would suffer.

His uncle, Chang Liang, stood at the door with his hands behind his back, seemingly having been waiting for a long time. He was an old friend of Zhuang Dahai and also the matchmaker between the couple.

"Are you back?" Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and looked at me with an unhappy look on his face.

Zhuang Dahai lowered his head, a belated sense of shame welling up in his heart.

"Brother..." Chang Hui's eyes immediately turned red.

"I'm here to take you and Dongming home. No more words, just pack your things. If I had known you would end up like this, I wouldn't have tried to match you up. What a sin!" Chang Liang sighed heavily.

Chang Hui straightened her back immediately when she saw that her elder brother supported her.

While mother and son were packing their things in the bedroom, Chang Liang pulled Zhuang Dahai into the living room and demanded, "I heard you sold all three houses? Dongming has called you dad for so many years, and you didn't leave him anything?"

The shame in Zhuang Dahai's heart immediately disappeared completely: "That's my wife's inheritance. What does it have to do with Guan Changdongming?"

"Dongming earns over 300,000 yuan a year. How much can your son earn? If you had foresight, you would have known that Dongming is your support." Chang Liang sighed, "I told you back then that you should transfer one of the houses to Dongming. Then you can live with him when you're old and won't have to sleep on the streets."

"You're the one sleeping on the street!" Zhuang Dahai roared, his neck stiff. "My son said he'll buy me a big villa in the future!"

"Do you believe that?" Chang Liang said with disdain, "You've spent tens of millions on him, haven't you? He didn't take a penny home? Dahai, this isn't how you raise a child. Your son is ruined!"

Chang Hui eavesdropped on their conversation through the crack in the door, curling her lips at Chang Dongming from time to time and whispering, "Zhuang Dahai is blind. If he comes to beg you in the future, you must ignore him."

"Mom, there's no way I'll have anything to do with him again. Zhuang Li is a bottomless pit. Just wait, Zhuang Dahai will suffer in the future." Chang Dongming smiled sarcastically.

Just then, the door to the entrance opened, and Zhuang Li walked in without even changing into slippers. He placed a thick document bag and a pair of Rolls-Royce car keys on the coffee table and said calmly, "Dad, pack up. I'll take you to live in the big villa. This car is yours, too. You can drive it to buy groceries in the future."

After saying that, he opened the file bag and took out a salary card. "There's 100 million in here. Spend it."

"Ah?" Zhuang Dahai opened his mouth so wide that an ostrich egg could almost fit in it.

Chang Liang, Chang Hui, and Chang Dongming: "..."

Keep making it up!

Their mocking expressions continued until Xuan Ming was pushed in in a wheelchair by a group of black-clad bodyguards.
