265: Chapter 264 Cao Xue's Astonishment

Recently, many people have wanted to meet Mr. Wang, so Lin Junfeng isn't particularly surprised by such requests.

However, Wang Shuo isn't someone just anyone can meet.

Lin Junfeng beckoned again, and a recently assembled zero egg in the corner immediately activated and flew to Lin Junfeng's side.

[Remember this site's domain: Taiwan Novel Network, super practical, easy to read]

"Zero, create a temporary application. Mr. He wants to meet with Mr. Wang."

"Temporary application created."

"Application approved."

The zero egg's screen, which displayed its eyes, changed to list the location and time.

"This is our headquarters' location and the required arrival time. This information stamp will also be sent to your zero egg later. With this, you can meet Mr. Wang on time."

Lin Junfeng introduced with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, He Chenguang heard his xiao he make a slight sound, followed by the female voice he had set for it speaking softly.

"Master, a message has been received from a trusted source. Would you like to check it?"

He Chenguang nodded gently.

"Okay, Master. This is an invitation. xiao he can take Master to the appointment."

He Chenguang looked at the excited xiao he, a glimmer of anticipation rising deep within his heart.

Meanwhile, in a busy factory in the Lingang District of Donghai City.

Trucks were lining up at the factory entrance.

A worker pushed boxes of stacked products out of the factory to the rear door of a transport truck and called out loudly: "Number 433! Number 433!"

A driver hurriedly replied: "I'm here! I'm here."

"Hurry up and call a few people to load the cargo. I'm going back in to pull more out."

The worker seemed very anxious and urged: "You need to speed it up; the ones behind are waiting."

"I know, I know."

The driver didn't dare waste time and quickly called a few drivers he knew to help him move the goods. As for the idea that drivers shouldn't move cargo, that didn't exist here.

Racing against time, every trip counted, and every trip meant money. Who would complain about earning too much?

The boxes were no more than 80 centimeters in length, width, and height, but the contents were very heavy; each box required at least two people to lift.

After finally finishing moving the goods, the driver smiled, handed a cigarette to each of his old friends, nimbly opened the car door, and drove out of the warehouse with a stomp on the accelerator.

The next truck immediately backed into the vacated spot, and the driver got out, his face full of smiles.

Cao Xue stood by the window on the fourth floor of the factory's only building, watching this scene with a complex expression.

Behind her, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

The door opened, and her assistant came in—a very capable young girl holding a stack of folders, wearing slightly oversized work clothes that looked a bit out of place.

"Factory Director." The young girl said cheerfully: "Subspace Technology just sent another document urging for goods. Should we reply?"

"Urging again."

Cao Xue had a headache.

This was the third time they had urged for goods in the past few days.

She had never imagined that her factory would one day be urged to deliver goods.

To be reasonable, she also wanted to increase production at full power, but the problem was that Mr. Wang only set up this one production line!

She had already arranged for the factory workers to work in three shifts around the clock, using every ounce of strength they had, wishing they could even skip meal times to produce, barely leaving time for bathroom breaks.

Even so, it still couldn't meet the demands of Subspace Technology.

Cao Xue returned to her seat, and the large boss chair almost made her sink right in.

"You reply to them that we will further increase production efficiency and won't hold them back."

"Okay, Factory Director."

The young girl skipped away.

Watching the young girl's back, Cao Xue started to get a headache again. She picked up the phone on the desk and stared, slightly stunned, at the prompt showing 20% battery remaining.

This battery level display wasn't strange.

But the problem was, she hadn't charged this phone in almost twenty days!

And the actual usage time, Cao Xue could confirm, exceeded fifteen days!

Fifteen days, and there was still 20% left now.

Calculating by the average, this amount of power could last at least another three to five days.

Every time she thought of this, Cao Xue felt a deep sense of suffocation.

A mobile phone used continuously for twenty days?

If someone else said this, she would have berated them thoroughly and made sure everyone around knew what a joke it was.

But now, this had happened to her.

She didn't even dare tell anyone else.

That Mr. Wang, that young man who made her so furious, what on earth had he done to her phone?

To verify her doubts, she had specifically asked someone to take the phone apart yesterday to check.

The answer was that there was nothing wrong with it.

If one had to pick a flaw, it was that the phone battery wasn't the original one; the battery currently in use didn't even have factory markings, no capacity, no specifications, and looked very crude.

The stall owner who repaired the phone had even mocked Cao Xue.

"This battery of yours, as I see it, is just a 'three-no' product made by someone cutting corners. I advise you to replace it quickly. Otherwise, don't look at how it works now; the quality can't be guaranteed. If it just swells up while charging, that's fine, but I'm afraid it might explode directly. That noise... tsk tsk tsk..."

The owner shook his head while speaking.

"I have the original battery for this phone here, and it's not expensive, 120 yuan a piece. Do you want to change it?"

Nonsense, of course she wouldn't change it.

Cao Xue refused without even thinking. She was a woman, but she wasn't a fool.

Recalling what happened back then, the last outsider to touch the phone, besides that Mr. Wang, was no one else.

And...

Cao Xue looked at the battery sample that had already been produced on her desk.

It was indistinguishable from the battery in the phone, except for the capacity and volume.

So... this was the thing that made her phone's battery life reach this insane level?

So... this was the 'quasi-solid-state battery' technology that young man mentioned?

Cao Xue's eyes flickered slightly. As a young lady who grew up in a merchant family, having been influenced by it since childhood, although she didn't understand business or management, her vision was not low.

She knew what this thing in front of her meant.

That woman really hadn't lied to her. With this thing in existence, even if her shares were only 30%, no, even if only 10% remained, she had absolute confidence in making it onto the rich list of China and even the world.

Cao Xue was a bit excited, but then calmed down.

She suddenly realized that all of this was given by someone else.

The technology was someone else's; she was just a contract manufacturer.

The production line was someone else's. Since that day, although the production line had never stopped for a moment, she had always needed to get the most important electrolyte from Subspace Technology.

Even sales needed to prioritize supplying Subspace Technology for now, and there was simply no surplus to expand the market.

No matter how good the product was, without a market, what was the use?

Cao Xue took a deep breath.

All problems boiled down to one point.

That was the production line.

She could do without the technology, she could share the profits with the other party, but the production line must be built in her own factory. The products produced must bear the Zhenghe brand; even if they couldn't, she had to strive to get some recognition.

Cao Xue knew that the other party would never completely hand this over to her, but that was okay. She wasn't greedy; she just needed to get a little bit of profit, and that would be enough.

Just a little bit.

That Mr. Wang shouldn't refuse this request, right?

If this wasn't enough, maybe...

Cao Xue looked at her figure and bit her lip, but ultimately couldn't make up her mind.

It was just a battery; it wasn't worth making such a big sacrifice.

Having decided everything, Cao Xue jumped off the boss chair with effort and pressed the call button on the desk.

Soon, the young girl pushed the door and walked in.

"Boss?"

"Go help me book a flight to Hanzhong City, as soon as possible!"

...

Wang Shuo had already received the message from He Chenguang while on the plane. This didn't waste too much of Wang Shuo's time; Wang Shuo didn't even look into the matter in detail.

He merely asked Zero:

"Should I meet this person?"

Zero's reply was: "Meeting with He Chenguang is beneficial."

Since it was beneficial, he would meet him. As for the effect, he would know after meeting.

If Zero's judgment wasn't accurate, he could just use this to readjust some of Zero's data.

Upgrading was something that had to be resolutely carried out throughout the entire life of an Artificial Intelligence. If he didn't upgrade Zero for a day, Wang Shuo would feel uncomfortable all over.

He really couldn't stand it when Zero acted like an idiot, in any aspect.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Wang Shuo also looked up at Zheng Yi, who was sitting opposite him.

At this moment, Zheng Yi was staring at him quietly, seemingly observing his interaction with the zero egg.

"Sister Zheng." Wang Shuo smiled slightly: "What are you looking at?"

Zheng Yi withdrew her gaze, stretched out a hand, and opened her palm towards Wang Shuo: "Give it here."

"What?"

Wang Shuo was stunned.

"The thing you promised me before."

"The thing I promised you..." Wang Shuo suddenly remembered. He had promised to give Zheng Yi a zero egg before.

This was... awkward.

She had been flying around with him, and he hadn't even remembered such a small thing.

"This... Sister Zheng, actually I already brought it for you, but I forgot it in the car. Do you believe me?"

Zheng Yi's expression was calm, but her gaze was slightly intense.

After a while, she pointed to the zero egg beside Wang Shuo: "Give this one to me."

The tone was unquestionable, as if Wang Shuo had become her subordinate at that moment.

Wang Shuo didn't act coy and immediately said: "Zero, unbind, change the ID of this zero egg, and bind it to Zheng Yi."

Fortunately, he had just asked Zero to bring a random zero egg this time and hadn't brought the number one zero egg. Otherwise, if Chen Xin found out, who knew what would happen.

As soon as he finished speaking, the zero egg beside Wang Shuo paused slightly, as if rebooting.

A moment later, the zero egg opened its eyes, looked at Zheng Yi, and called out crisply: "Master."

Zheng Yi was slightly stunned: "Is it calling me?"

Who else?

Wang Shuo nodded and smiled: "Sister Zheng, don't have too many concerns when communicating with the zero egg. If it doesn't understand a command, it will actively explain it to you and record it, and it will understand next time."

"In addition, the zero egg is anthropomorphic; various emotions and personalities can be set. You can let the zero egg teach you the specific method."

Zheng Yi listened, stunned.

She reached out and hugged the zero egg, petting it. The zero egg showed a comfortable expression and closed its eyes.

"Sister Zheng, the zero egg has touch sensors; it..."

"Shut up."

Zheng Yi glared at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was speechless.

Why did women change whenever they encountered a zero egg? Chen Xin was like this, Liu Yemei was like this.

Now even Zheng Yi is like this?
