261: Chapter 260 Tanaka Returns

"What… on earth are these things?"

"Wuwuwu, it's so healing. This little thing really understands my heart. I'm so moved."

"Arrange it. I must arrange one for my crush. Once I've trained it to say nice things to me without holding back, I'll give it to my goddess. That way, will my goddess still be far from me? Hahaha."

"Ahem, to the person above, let me quietly tell you: Frontier Technology doesn't allow transferring zero egg yet. You can't solve the identity verification issue, so it's useless no matter who you give it to."

"Stupid, you can just add command permissions! Won't it work if you add your goddess to the list?"

...

If you don't pay close attention, you'd think this was a group for romance and brain-teasing.

young man felt there was something wrong with how he had opened the webpage, so he closed it and clicked on it again.

The style… hadn't changed at all…

So, young man decisively blocked the comments and settled down to watch the video content.

Half an hour later.

young man silently clicked to close the video, then stared at the time displayed in the bottom right corner, lost in thought.

Who stole my time?

Breaking the schedule he had stuck to for ten years was one thing, but the content shown in the video was truly hard for him to believe.

Is this zero egg?

Can all the functions in the video really be achieved?

Unlike ordinary users.

His professional background meant he had a deeper understanding of Artificial Intelligence.

It could be said that understanding the principles of a Chip was basically equivalent to understanding the program structure, and basically equivalent to understanding Artificial Intelligence.

According to his conception, at the current stage of Artificial Intelligence, no matter how you dress it up or train it, its basic physical properties are determined at the Chip level; it is, and can only be, a large search engine.

The process and purpose of training is to add filtering conditions to this large search engine so that its output results meet human expectations.

But it is still just a program; it has all the characteristics and shortcomings of a program.

But what was that thing in the video?

Artificial Intelligence?

How could this possibly be Artificial Intelligence!

After thinking for a long time, young man picked up his phone and silently opened a contact.

Even though it was one o'clock in the morning, the call was answered quickly.

"Hello, General Manager Yu." young man said calmly, "I would like to take two days off."

...

Hanzhong City, airport.

Tanaka walked out of the airport with a look of exhaustion on his face.

He casually hailed a taxi and went straight to the hotel he had booked. After checking in, Tanaka finally relaxed.

Unlike his previous trips to China.

This time, Tanaka had not been invited by the Chinese manufacturer, had not received a huge appearance fee, and had no entourage following him.

It was just him, at one o'clock in the morning, travel-worn and simple.

But he had to come.

The guys at the company had gone crazy.

Their long-held sense of superiority over China and their rejection of him had led them to make seriously wrong judgments.

Tanaka had tried every possible way to salvage the situation, but with little effect.

That group of guys had become so arrogant that they weren't even willing to pay attention to news about Frontier Technology.

They didn't even know what Frontier Technology had been doing recently.

Regarding this, Tanaka was very disappointed.

Handing the company over to this group of guys was definitely the stupidest thing his old partner had ever done.

But now, everything was beyond repair.

The moment he received the latest news from Frontier Technology and saw zero egg, Tanaka was completely stunned.

He couldn't imagine how such a thing could be born from such an inconspicuous small company, just as he couldn't believe why the Mark I System was born from Frontier Technology.

But what followed was a deep sense of urgency.

Even though others swore to him that zero egg would soon disappear, it didn't make him feel even the slightest bit at ease.

He waited three days, seven days, and when zero egg re-emerged, he could wait no longer.

He had a premonition that zero egg could no longer be stopped and that Frontier Technology was bound to push zero egg to the world.

This kind of premonition had saved him countless times.

So, he came, booked the nearest direct flight to China, and rushed all the way to Hanzhong City.

Sitting on the balcony, looking down at the street below, Tanaka's gaze gradually solidified.

This time, no matter what the cost, he had to extricate himself from this vortex.

He had to find… a new gold mine for himself.

...

Beijing.

Suburban villa area.

Although it was already late at night, the lights in the villa were still on.

The Middle-aged man sat upright on the sofa, quietly looking at the book in his hands.

After a long while, he looked up and asked, "Has the young master not returned yet?"

A servant standing nearby replied, "Not yet, sir."

The Middle-aged man nodded, "Go urge him."

"I have already urged him; the young master said he would be back soon."

Taking a deep breath, The Middle-aged man said indifferently, "Then go urge him again. Tell him if I don't see him within ten minutes, he doesn't need to come back."

The servant nodded and left the room.

In the room, there was only the figure of The Middle-aged man.

By his side lay a paper copy of a stock analysis report; the columns of red text on it were very glaring.

More than ten minutes later, the roar of a sports car came from outside the door, followed immediately by a rough voice at the entrance.

"Where's my dad? Is he not asleep yet?"

"He is still waiting for Young Master Matsumoto."

The area outside the door suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open a crack.

"Come in."

The Middle-aged man's indifferent voice came out.

A head poked in through the crack of the door. Seeing The Middle-aged man sitting solemnly on the sofa, he immediately felt a bit deflated and walked into the room reluctantly.

"Father, you still haven't rested so late at night?"

"Hmm."

The Middle-aged man responded indifferently and looked up at Matsumoto Bieyun who had just entered.

"Who was it tonight?"

Matsumoto Bieyun shrank his head, "It was Young Master Wang's venue; he called me over to socialize a bit."

"Oh." The Middle-aged man lowered his head, "You smell like perfume. Was it Yazhi Garden or Lilac Pavilion?"

Matsumoto Bieyun was stunned and speechless.

"If I hadn't sent someone to fetch you back, were you planning not to come back tonight either? How many were there this time? Two? Three?"

Matsumoto Bieyun didn't dare to breathe loudly. Experience told him that if his father said such things so calmly, it could only mean that he was already very angry.

Fortunately, The Middle-aged man did not continue to pursue his private life and threw a magazine over directly.

Matsumoto Bieyun reached out and caught it. Seeing the name on it, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Chen Group, today's stock rose again. The overall value has exceeded 150 billion, and it is estimated that it will continue to rise by at least ten percent tomorrow."

The Middle-aged man looked at Matsumoto Bieyun, "What are your thoughts?"

Matsumoto Bieyun was silent.

The Middle-aged man said indifferently, "If the plan had gone smoothly, these things should all be ours."

"Dad." Matsumoto Bieyun suddenly spoke up, begging, "I was wrong, I was really wrong."

The Middle-aged man looked at him indifferently.

From The Middle-aged man's gaze, Matsumoto Bieyun actually saw coldness.

"I told you to make contact with the people at Frontier Technology Company. How is that going?"

Matsumoto Bieyun hesitated for a moment.

In fact, he had actually made a serious effort to make contact.

Relying on his methods, he had indeed obtained quite a bit of information, and the relationship had heated up rapidly. Just half a month ago, he could still be sure that he was in an ambiguous state with the other party.

According to his experience, a woman in this state was eighty percent likely to be unable to escape his grasp. What he needed to do next was to increase the offensive and take her down as soon as possible.

After all, this was a pursuit with a purpose. Although the ultimate goal was to get the other party into bed, the process and methods had to be changed. He couldn't just treat her like those hostesses, getting her drunk and throwing her on the bed, right?

That was too simple and crude, and the results weren't good either.

But just ten days ago, this ambiguous atmosphere suddenly changed.

The female receptionist, who was originally playing hard to get with him, suddenly started ignoring his messages, sometimes for as long as a day.

He couldn't ask; whenever he asked, she was "busy."

It was strange. As a female receptionist, what could she be busy with?

Busy flirting with other people?

To be honest, even if she was, he wouldn't mind too much, as long as she could still talk to him about everything.

But not replying to messages—that was intolerable.

If that was all, he would just take the loss; at worst, he could make up for it elsewhere after getting her. But just five days ago, he clearly felt that her attitude towards him had changed.

Before, when she said she was busy, she was actually busy and really didn't have time.

Later, when she said she was busy, it was all excuses. Matsumoto Bieyun could even be certain that after sending the message, she was probably chatting happily with someone else.

What was he to do?

What could he do?

He definitely couldn't go to the office.

If he went, who could guarantee that Wang Shuo wouldn't monitor him through the cameras?

He could go to her house, but after going a few times, apart from her mother, he hadn't even seen a hair of her. When he asked, she was still busy!

What the hell are you busy with!

Matsumoto Bieyun was full of pent-up anger, so he decided to return to his comfort zone to relax and vent his anger.

As a result, it was only the third day, and he was being stared at by his father with the look of someone looking at a dead person.

This…

How should he answer?

Swallowing his saliva, Matsumoto Bieyun said cautiously, "Father, I have already hooked the receptionist at Frontier Technology; I will be able to take her down soon."

The Middle-aged man nodded.

Just as Matsumoto Bieyun let out a long sigh of relief, thinking he had passed the test, he heard The Middle-aged man's voice say indifferently:

"Tomorrow, you will go to Hanzhong City again."

"What for in Hanzhong City?"

Matsumoto Bieyun was stunned and blurted out, but then realized and immediately said, "No problem, Father. I guarantee I will take down the person at Frontier Technology as soon as possible."

"That is not the matter."

The Middle-aged man said indifferently, "According to news from the parent company, Tanaka arrived in Hanzhong City on a flight this evening. I need you to go see him immediately."

"Mr. Tanaka?"

Matsumoto Bieyun was stunned again.

Moreover, he heard something different in his father's tone.

When did his father start calling Mr. Tanaka just "Tanaka"?

"Hmm." The Middle-aged man nodded indifferently, "Tanaka took important company materials. After you see him, help him buy the nearest flight ticket back to Japan."

"Back to Japan?"

Matsumoto Bieyun became more and more confused as he listened, and asked in surprise, "What if Mr. Tanaka is unwilling?"

"That is not the point." The Middle-aged man looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "The point is, whether Tanaka is willing or not, he cannot go anywhere."

Matsumoto Bieyun froze on the spot, trembling, "Father… Father, does the parent company mean… Mr. Tanaka, he…"

The Middle-aged man returned to his indifference and said calmly, "It is Tanaka."

"He… is no longer Mr. Tanaka."
