222: Chapter 221 Resisting Cutting-Edge Technology

At this moment, Beijing.

Chen Zhongxuan was sitting on his large Chinese-style sofa, fiddling with the tea set in front of him; the slight upturn of his lips showed he was in an excellent mood.

"General Manager Chen, ever since the conclusion of the Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. press conference, our stock on the main board of the East Stock Exchange has hit the daily limit for two consecutive days. After opening this morning, it still shows an upward trend. According to the current growth, it is expected to return to its highest level within a week and is expected to break through its peak again within two weeks. By then, the group's estimated value will further increase to 150 billion RMB."

The Female Assistant standing beside him tried hard to suppress her excitement as she reported on the company's recent situation.

When she looked at Chen Zhongxuan, her eyes were filled with admiration.

150 billion.

This was a fortune that many people couldn't earn in ten lifetimes. Even though this was just a valuation and did not represent the actual asset level, it was still staggering.

In all of Huaxia, how many companies have a valuation of over 100 billion? And how many of those are physical companies?

Chen Group was already a well-deserved behemoth in this turf of Huaxia, capable of turning clouds and rain in its own field.

Of course, this was only in Huaxia. Once outside of Huaxia, Chen Group's scale was not enough to be taken seriously.

And all of this was created single-handedly by the man in front of her.

Carefully hiding her emotions, the Female Assistant continued her report: "Besides this, General Manager Chen, Guangkong and Huakong have already sent people to Frontier Technology Company. Do we need to pay attention to them?"

"Pay attention?" Chen Zhongxuan shook his head slightly: "There's nothing to pay attention to. Regardless of what agreement they reach with that kid Wang Shuo, it's beneficial for us."

"Is there any other news?"

The Female Assistant hesitated slightly. Just as she was about to speak, the door was pushed open.

Chen Xin walked in with hurried steps. Seeing the Female Assistant who was reporting, she paused, her expression darkening slightly: "Get out."

The Female Assistant sighed inwardly, bowed slightly, and without asking for Chen Zhongxuan's opinion, gently closed her folder and walked out of the office.

After the door was completely closed, Chen Zhongxuan smiled and said: "Xiner, what are you here for?"

Chen Xin sat opposite the coffee table, scanned the room, and seemingly finding nothing, asked: "Where is Secretary Chen?"

"He took leave; I heard something happened at home." Chen Zhongxuan chuckled: "I let Xiaozhe temporarily take over some of the assistant's work."

Chen Xin nodded slightly, picked up the tea her father had poured for her, took a gentle sip, and said: "I don't like her."

Chen Zhongxuan nodded slightly and smiled as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

As for why Chen Xin didn't like the Female Assistant, Chen Xin didn't say, and Chen Zhongxuan didn't ask.

And how Chen Zhongxuan planned to handle it, Chen Zhongxuan didn't say, and Chen Xin didn't ask.

The father and daughter were exceptionally tacit.

"How is your mother?"

After a moment of silence, it was Chen Zhongxuan who finally broke the stalemate.

"Very well."

"That's good." Chen Zhongxuan nodded: "I've been busy with the group's affairs these past few days and couldn't squeeze out time to see her. It's been hard on you."

Chen Xin shook her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Zhongxuan looked at her expression and sighed softly: "Don't worry, Xiner, I won't let anything happen to her. Even if I have to exhaust every possible means, I will make her get better again."

Chen Xin came back to her senses and nodded slightly: "I came today just to tell you that I am leaving for a while."

Chen Zhongxuan smiled upon hearing this: "What, have you thought it through and are preparing to go back to school? That's more like it. Although you are already excellent, studying is still..."

"I'm going to Hanzhong City and might stay for a while."

Chen Zhongxuan's words were cut off halfway, and he immediately started coughing violently, coughing until he was out of breath. His face visibly turned red, as if he might pass out from suffocation at any moment.

Chen Xin remained indifferent, watching her father's performance calmly.

Dozens of seconds later, having seemingly managed to calm down, Chen Zhongxuan stared at Chen Xin, panting, his eyes wide open: "Go to Hanzhong City?! Why?"

"Wang Shuo has encountered difficulties, and I'm going to help him." Chen Xin's voice was very calm.

"Wang Shuo has encountered difficulties, why do you need to go help him?" Chen Zhongxuan originally wanted to ask what a girl like her could do, but suddenly noticing something, he was stunned: "Wang Shuo has encountered difficulties? What difficulties?"

...

Half an hour later.

Chen Zhongxuan looked at the tablet in his hand, his expression grave.

"This matter is not simple."

Chen Zhongxuan's voice was low: "This information has been released for a very short time, but it is spreading extremely fast, widely, and is highly targeted. This has already exceeded the basic laws of information dissemination. There is someone fueling the flames behind this, and they have a significant background."

Chen Xin listened quietly from the side without speaking. There were some things she understood, and some things she didn't, and the current situation belonged to the category she didn't understand.

She never made reckless comments about things she didn't understand.

"This incident is clearly aimed at Wang Shuo." Chen Zhongxuan placed the tablet on the coffee table and looked at Chen Xin: "When you go this time, you must emphasize three points to Wang Shuo."

"First, do not delve into who the mastermind behind this information is; just focus on the people on the surface. The person behind this, who can mobilize so many big influencers and channels in such a short time, is not someone he can deal with right now."

"Second, the other party hasn't officially made a move yet; they are just fueling the flames. Whatever measures Wang Shuo intends to take, they must be implemented in the shortest possible time."

"Third, if his backup measures do not work and the situation spirals out of control, you can go to this address to contact this person. But this path cannot be used unless it is an absolute last resort. Once used, he might lose some things."

Chen Xin looked at Chen Zhongxuan upon hearing this, staring at the note in her hand, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"By the way, that girl Liu Yemei is your doing, right?"

Without waiting for Chen Xin to answer, Chen Zhongxuan continued on his own: "After you arrive in Hanzhong, contact Yemei first, then contact Wang Shuo. Do you remember?"

Seeing Chen Xin nod, Chen Zhongxuan sighed slightly, waved his hand, and said: "Go, come back early."

Chen Xin got up and left.

Chen Zhongxuan picked up his teacup and tasted it; his mouth was filled with bitterness.

They say that once a daughter is grown, she cannot be kept. He originally thought this time was still far off, but judging from Xiner's recent behavior, this time might already be right in front of him.

He just couldn't understand, what was so good about that kid Wang Shuo?

How could his own Xiner, who had such high standards, happen to treat him differently?

While drinking tea, Chen Zhongxuan seemed to suddenly remember something. He abruptly put down the teacup, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.

"Chengcai." Chen Zhongxuan's voice became low and forceful: "Xiner will be going to Hanzhong City in the next two days. You and Lingcheng accompany her and stay with her every step of the way."

"Remember, even if it's at the branch office, you must stay with her every step of the way!"

Hanging up the phone, Chen Zhongxuan threw it onto the sofa. His gaze swept over the tablet, which still had its screen lit, his eyes slightly cold.

"Old friend, I hope you haven't become so disregardful of our relationship; otherwise..."

Chen Zhongxuan picked up the teacup again and swallowed the second half of his sentence.

And on the tablet's glowing screen, a short article was displayed.

The title was in red, bold font.

"Boycott Frontier Technology, ban unscrupulous enterprises."
