248 spent several hours sifting through the important information in Zhuang Li’s personal computer and the various scientific research results in his laboratory.
"Host, you have to admit that there are such things as super geniuses in this world," it sighed as it downloaded the confidential documents. "Zhuang Li only started researching nanomaterials two months ago, but his achievements have surpassed those of others who have been doing research for over twenty years."
Qiao Yanan lay on the sofa, browsing Lin Yayan's scandal, her legs raised high and swaying slightly up and down, her tone both pleased and disdainful. "So what? No matter how talented he is, I can deal with him. From now on, we will make public everything he studies and see if others dare to sponsor his research. Without anyone to contribute money or effort, he's just a useless person who graduated from a fake university."
"Host, you're like a hungry wolf, biting your enemies and not letting go." 248 praised, "That's what I admire most about you. As long as you eliminate all your opponents, you will definitely be the ultimate victor."
Qiao Yanan's smile grew even more smug. "System, I told you when you bound me that your choice wouldn't be wrong. The information we stole from Zhao Zhensheng is useless to Hai Ming, but similar domestic companies should be vying for it, right? Can you help me find out which company is Hai Ming's mortal enemy? I'm planning to apply for a job. Doesn't Xuan Ming look down on me? Then I'll help his enemies fight him. That way, I'll at least be in his good graces, right?"
"Are you planning on a love-hate relationship?" 248 analyzed the situation carefully and nodded. "Okay, I'll help you research... I got it. The communications company currently pursuing Hai Ming is called Future Map. They've hired a headhunter to recruit you. Just wait for their call at home."
Then, 248 added with concern, "But you don't have anything in your belly, and Zhao Zhensheng's research and development achievements are limited to the 5G framework and basic algorithms. With these, he can easily join the Future Map, but leading them to catch up with Haiming is just an unattainable dream. I'm worried that you will be exposed in the future."
"Hasn't the United States obtained Zhao Zhensheng's scientific research results and is currently developing them? You just need to help me steal the United States' technology. I will lead Future Map to continue to follow up on the level of their development, so that we can surpass Hai Ming soon. The United States' technology is much more advanced than China's." Qiao Yanan said calmly.
In her opinion, it would be better to take away the roads paved by others and leave them with no roads to travel on than to work so hard to build them. How fun would that be?
248 became increasingly satisfied with the host and praised him, "Although your skills may not be very good, you are truly amazing at taking shortcuts. I will help you steal American technology and erase all traces of it. Don't worry."
As they were talking, the headhunting company called Qiao Yanan and offered her an annual salary of 60 million yuan and a 10% stake in the company. They also said they didn't care about her drug addiction history. They had already obtained her recent physical examination report, which showed that she had recovered very well.
However, just in case, once Qiao Yanan joins the company, Future Tupu will still provide her with a special medical team to take care of her physical and mental health at all times.
Such conditions far exceeded Qiao Yanan's psychological expectations, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
A few minutes later, an employment contract slowly emerged from the fax machine. It was sent by Future Map. It seemed they were determined to get Qiao Yanan.
"This is too hasty. The contract was sent to me just after we finalized it on the phone. But never mind, since their chairman has good vision, I'll sign the contract now." Qiao Yanan carefully looked at the several provisions about remuneration in the contract, and after confirming that they were correct, he picked up the pen and signed.
After receiving the photo of the signed contract, Future Map immediately announced the good news on its official Weibo and website. Senior executives, including the chairman, enthusiastically welcomed Qiao Yanan online, highlighting her generous benefits and making them widely known. It's expected that more and more technical staff will soon switch to Future Map.
With this move, Future Map fully exposed its ambitions. They didn't want to chase Hai Ming; they wanted to surpass him, crush him, or even completely annihilate him. There could only be one industry leader, and that was Future Map.
Zhuang Li's sudden appearance was so sudden and inexplicable that industry insiders believed he was merely a shield for Qiao Yanan. After all, Dr. Zhao was assassinated, and Qiao Yanan, who succeeded him, was also likely assassinated.
Hai Ming's public dismissal of Qiao Yanan was undoubtedly intended to protect her and drive her underground. But this move was a profoundly wrong move. Once Qiao Yanan became a free agent, other companies could openly poach her.
As long as the benefits are high enough, I believe no one will be uninvited. After all, technicians also need to eat. Didn’t Qiao Yanan get poached?
Industry insiders marveled at Future Map's grand vision, long-term outlook, and willingness to invest. They also lamented that Xuan Ming, brilliant throughout his life, had let go of a top talent like Qiao Yanan. However, no one delved into the rumors that Zhuang Li was a genius, let alone believed them.
For a time, the entire internet was filled with praise for Qiao Yanan and ridicule for the Haiming Group. Some even posted Qiao Yanan's photo and resume online, educating the general public about the achievements of China's youngest female scientist.
Seeing this densely packed list of honors, netizens were shocked and began to express their opinions: [You could rely on your looks, but you chose to rely on your talent!]
[My mom asked me why I was kneeling down to check Weibo!]
【This is the idol that we teenagers should admire! 】
"Over the years, Haiming has grown bigger and bigger, and President Xuan has become increasingly arrogant, even daring to fire a talent like Dr. Qiao. I bet this company is finished."
[Yes, the future of communications will be dominated by graphs.]
All sorts of flattery filled the screen, greatly satisfying Qiao Yanan's vanity. She pressed her phone to her chest, smirking. Yes, this was the life she wanted: glorious, admired, and high above everyone else. Being suppressed was only temporary; she would soon make that bastard Zhuang Li feel the bitter taste of disgrace!
Thinking of this, her eyes sharpened and she urged, "System, have you finished downloading the file?"
248 sent the huge file package to major forums and noted the title - "Report on the Latest Research and Development Results of Nano-Engine Technology".
Nanorobots are the product of nanotechnology reaching a certain level of development. The prerequisite for manufacturing nanorobots is the creation of an engine. Overcoming this hurdle will set off another technological revolution worldwide.
Scientists in the field quickly noticed the post and opened the attachment.
Qiao Yanan and 248 silently awaited the industry's reaction, confident that within half an hour, Zhuang Li's research and development achievements, along with the billions of dollars Xuan Ming had invested, would be wiped out. The EG Research Institute, having suffered enormous losses, would vent its anger on them, severing its partnership with them on the spot and demanding exorbitant compensation.
If they go against the state apparatus, Zhuang Li will not have a good ending, Xuan Ming will not have a good ending, and even Hai Ming will be in a precarious situation.
"This is my great gift to Future Map. They don't have to spend five years catching up to Hai Ming. They can short Hai Ming now and become the biggest winner. Will Xuan Ming go bankrupt? If I help him now, will he be grateful to me? Will Zhuang Li be banned from the industry? The country will claim billions from him. Will he dare to refuse? He has taken so much from me, and now he has to give it all back!"
Qiao Yanan closed her eyes and imagined the future. The more she talked, the more she laughed and the more proud she became, but her expression was twisted like a ghost. Greed, selfishness, viciousness, and narrow-mindedness, these extremely negative things had corroded her heart into a black hole.
248 was very satisfied with her actions and agreed, "Now we can slowly wait for further developments."

At the same time, Xuan Ming also discovered a large number of file packages appearing online, with eye-catching titles directly referring to Xiao Juanmao's recent research and development achievements. He immediately thought of Qiao Yanan's system. When it comes to online theft, no one can surpass it!
Xuan Ming quickly opened the attachment, but because the data package was so large, the download speed was very slow, and for a moment he couldn't see the specific content. He was anxious, so he grabbed his laptop and went down to the -6th floor to find the person involved and ask for clarification.
The lab was bustling with activity, and the collection of advanced experimental equipment was increasing. Unknowingly, Curly had already secured the services of the nation's leading R&D teams in medical technology, optoelectronics, quantum technology, and nanotechnology.
The people working here were all top scientists in China and even the world, and they all looked up to Curly as their spiritual leader. Even if Curly hid his true research results and only revealed some basic things, it would still be enough for these scientists to ponder for a long time.
Although the billions of dollars that Xuan Ming initially invested have not yet been converted into tangible economic benefits, the broad prospects contained therein have already begun to emerge.
"Mr. Xuan, are you here to inspect the work again?" Several scientists greeted Xuan Ming with a smile, then hurried away with thick folders in their arms.
Xuan Ming nodded absentmindedly, walked into Curly's office, immediately locked the door, placed his laptop on the table, and said in a hurried voice, "Your research results were stolen by Qiao Yanan."
Zhuang Li was hunched over the table, using pen and paper to deduce a brand new black hole model. Hearing this, he didn't even bother to raise an eyelid: "No way."
"Take a look and see if this is your research material." Xuan Ming pushed the laptop towards him.
Zhuang Li didn't even look up and directly denied it: "No."
"You invented the nano engine, right?" Xuan Ming had to remind him emphatically.
Zhuang Li finally raised his head, a smile of interest on his face. His fingertips held the pen, slowly spinning it into a cluster of flowers. His voice was filled with anticipation: "Did it pack up my information?"
"Is this really your information?" Xuan Ming's heart sank.
Zhuang Li then propped up his chin, glanced lazily at the computer screen, and snorted with disdain: "Well, it's mine." He threw away the pen, raised his hands and stretched lazily. His narrow eyes became wet with sleepiness, but his dark pupils became even more deep and unfathomable.
"Once the file package is downloaded, open it and take a look. It will be very interesting." He leaned back in his chair with a subtle meaning hidden in his smile.
Realizing that Curly wasn't in a hurry at all, Xuan Ming slowly calmed down. "Then you continue with your work. I'll be waiting over here." He held the computer on his lap and waited patiently.
Zhuang Li was also intrigued. He put one hand on the back of the wheelchair, held Xuan Ming's shoulder with the other hand, and leaned his head over to look at the computer screen with him.
The delicate woody scent drifted over again, and the same half-hug, half-embrace position made Xuan Ming's pounding heart melt completely in the rapidly rising temperature, burning his chest and reddening his ears. If it weren't for his amazing self-control, his entire face would have burned.
Pressing shoulders, leaning forward to stare, and restraining arms—these were all gestures of control, and Curly would often unwittingly employ them, demonstrating his strong character. No one, not even the system or the Lord God, could disrupt his decisions. To gain his favor, one had to go along with his wishes.
Xuan Ming pondered silently in his heart.
At the same time, the huge file package finally finished downloading. When it was opened, what came into view was not the latest scientific research results on the so-called nano-engine, but rows and rows of mocking emoticons. These emoticons would jump up and down, sway left and right, and then enlarge one by one.
When each expression suddenly becomes extremely large, filling the entire screen, the fake smiles on their faces appear particularly contemptuous and disdainful, making people feel particularly angry.
The technicians who were originally very interested in this scientific research result turned pale and took out their keyboards to criticize the publisher.
Xuan Ming looked at the big yellow faces that took turns mocking him on the screen, and he burst out laughing.
On the other side, Qiao Yanan, who had also opened the file package, screamed sharply: "System, what's going on?!"
