407: Chapter 406 Xu Kexin is in love

Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, Master Lu was stunned for a moment and muttered blankly, "That's right, Boss Wang has already started building the factory, so how could there not be a Lithography Machine? Why didn't I think of that?"

"Isn't it normal that you didn't think of it?"

There was a hint of teasing in Yang Qi's voice.

Master Lu immediately became indignant. "I just didn't think in that direction, it's not that I couldn't think of it! Besides, the Lithography Machine could have been bought by the boss from somewhere else!"

"Heh."

Yang Qi smiled faintly. "Look at zero egg, then look at the Exoskeleton, look at the spider. Do you think the boss would settle for a purchased Lithography Machine?"

Master Lu paused.

This really stumped him.

It wasn't that purchased equipment was bad, but everyone was very clear about the current situation. The ostracization of China by Western societies led by the United States had gradually begun to intensify. All equipment that could potentially boost China's strength in high-tech fields, such as precision machine tools, industrial mother machines, and advanced engines, were targets of blockades.

To summarize in one sentence: you can buy it, but what you can buy isn't advanced, and what is advanced, you definitely can't buy.

Under such circumstances, given their Boss Wang's character, would he be satisfied with a purchased Lithography Machine?

If he were satisfied with that, he wouldn't have created the Exoskeleton and the spider; it would have been much better to just hire two construction teams to do the work.

Therefore, besides the path of making it himself, was there any other way?

As for whether Boss Wang could create a Lithography Machine... that question might be fine to ask others, but if you asked their ten-man team, the answer could only be... Yes!

In all of China, if there was anyone who could master the technology for a Lithography Machine, it could only be Frontier Technology, and it could only be Boss Wang!

Master Lu's eyes gradually brightened.

"Wang Jie."

"Hm?"

Wang Jie, who was deep in thought, looked up.

"After we finish building the factory here, can we go back two days later?"

Master Lu asked.

Wang Jie was puzzled. "Why?"

Master Lu said with a hopeful look, "I want to see... China's most advanced Lithography Machine."

...

Anything made by Boss Wang was bound to be the best. This had already become a consensus within the ten-man team.

Whether it was zero egg, the Exoskeleton, the spider, or other small aspects, they had all profoundly felt this truth.

Meanwhile, Boss Wang Shuo, in whom they placed such high hopes, was sitting in a small meeting room at the Optics Valley Software Park, quietly waiting for the arrival of Chen Zhongxuan.

Time ticked away, and the corners of Wang Shuo's mouth, which had been turned up, gradually fell until he was expressionless.

"Zero, what time was Uncle Chen's flight?"

"It was scheduled for eight in the morning, sir, and landed at Tianhe Airport at ten-ten."

Wang Shuo checked the time; it was already 11:55. Even if the roads were jammed with cars, they should have arrived by now.

He made several calls to Chen Zhongxuan, but they all indicated that the phone was turned off.

Wang Shuo's brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Yemei was standing beside him. Seeing that this young boss seemed anxious and frustrated, she poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Wang Shuo.

"Boss Wang, have some water."

Wang Shuo was taken aback, then picked up the cup and took a sip. His mood relaxed slightly.

"Thank you, Sister Liu," Wang Shuo said.

Liu Yemei shook her head slightly. "Boss Wang, perhaps Boss Chen encountered something, which is why he didn't arrive on time. You don't need to worry too much."

Wang Shuo offered a bitter smile. Chen Zhongxuan not appearing at the agreed-upon time did indeed make him feel a bit irritable.

His mindset was still unstable. Wang Shuo shook his head slightly, reflecting inwardly, and patiently continued to wait.

One minute... two minutes... until half an hour passed, and there was still no sign of Chen Zhongxuan, not even a phone call.

"I'm not waiting anymore."

Wang Shuo stood up, left the meeting room, and went straight downstairs.

Passing by the finance office, he saw Xu Kexin sitting inside, typing earnestly on the keyboard with a faint smile on her lips, looking gentle and quiet. The phone screen on the desk lit up slightly, showing a familiar blue interface; it seemed to be a chat application.

Wang Shuo was a bit surprised. Was this girl in such a good state when working?

She was like a completely different person compared to her usual self. Looking at that sweet smile, if Wang Shuo didn't know she was looking at reports on her computer, he would have thought this girl was in love.

Without thinking too much, Wang Shuo shook his head and continued downstairs.

Walking out of the company gate, just as he was preparing to stroll around the small building to clear his mind, he turned a corner and spotted someone somewhat familiar.

That person seemed startled to see Wang Shuo, hurriedly used the flowers in their hand to cover their face, and agilely dashed into the sidewalk on the side, disappearing from view.

"That person is..."

Wang Shuo stared at the figure's back, frowning slightly. "Matsumoto Bieyun?"

After so many enhancements, his memory had improved significantly. He had some impression of anyone he had met, and even if he hadn't paid special attention at the time, he could recall them quickly if he concentrated.

"What is he doing here?"

Wang Shuo was puzzled. Ever since he had met this man and exchanged a few words two months ago, he hadn't seen him again. Last time he heard, the man had been detained by the police due to a traffic accident; he hadn't expected him to be released so soon.

He shook his head slightly. With this interruption, he no longer felt like taking a walk.

He turned back to the small building and, seeing that the door to Liu Yemei's office was open, went in on an impulse.

"Boss Wang?"

"Shh."

Wang Shuo glanced outside, carefully closed the door, and then lowered his voice, asking gossip-like, "Let me ask you, Sister Liu, has anyone come to see Xu Kexin these past two days?"

Liu Yemei was slightly stunned, then nodded. "There is someone who comes to see Xu Kexin every noon and evening."

"With flowers?"

Wang Shuo's eyes lit up. Hearing gossip about his own employee—this feeling was truly great.

Liu Yemei recalled for a moment and nodded. "Basically every time, he brings flowers or other things."

Well, case closed. Xu Kexin, that girl, was really in love, and the object of her affection was that man outside who left him speechless. Just now, she must have been chatting with him, right?

Looking at that smiling face, she must be really enjoying this relationship.

As her boss, should he play the role of the heartless person separating a pair of lovers? Just so Xu Kexin would focus her energy on work?

Wang Shuo frowned, feeling conflicted. Matsumoto Bieyun—he didn't really like this guy.

"Boss Wang?"

Liu Yemei didn't know what was going on and asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing."

Wang Shuo waved his hand and sighed. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to break up the couple. Matsumoto Bieyun was annoying, but he hadn't done anything to wrong him; there was no need to condemn him completely.

Pushing open the door, Wang Shuo walked out of the office. Seeing Xu Kexin still working hard, he went downstairs silently.

Once outside, he glanced around a bit, and sure enough, he could no longer find Matsumoto Bieyun's figure.

What a situation. Wang Shuo looked up speechlessly at the clear sky and let out a sigh. So melancholy.
