170: Li Xuan was not convinced!

After Cao Lang finished looking over the equipment, he told Su Wei to wait outside while he went into the control room to conduct some AI experiments.

Su Wei nodded obediently and ordered the staff to wait where they were!

Li Xuan felt a sense of stifled anger in his heart!

Although he was quite handsome and always had fan-girls following him wherever he went, the class gap between him and Cao Lang was like an insurmountable chasm!

According to public information online, Cao Lang was worth tens of billions.

Meanwhile, he, Li Xuan, was still just a working stiff!

Wealth is a man's backbone. Facing a tycoon, Li Xuan lacked confidence!

“Brother Li Xuan, what is the relationship between Cao Lang and our CEO Su? Isn't he the boss of Xingyao Media? Why is he inspecting our Peak AI Company? He's even going in to operate our machines.”

Sun Tingting, one of Li Xuan's female subordinates, was quite pretty. She had admired Li Xuan for a long time but never dared to confess.

After Cao Lang entered the control room, she whispered her question to Li Xuan.

She wanted to get a little closer to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had been focused on pursuing Su Wei and usually ignored this subordinate, but now that he was feeling frustrated, he began to vent everything.

“Hmph, it's probably just a former boss relationship. Cao Lang sees that CEO Su is doing well now and probably wants to cling to her success.”

“Didn't you see how cautious CEO Su is in front of him? She's just giving him some face because of their previous superior-subordinate relationship.”

“If you ask me, things involving technology aren't something an Internet Celebrity can understand. Does he even know how to write code? Does he know what AI is? Does he know what a hacker is?”

Hearing this, Sun Tingting looked at Li Xuan with worship, her eyes full of little stars.

“Brother Li Xuan is right. Although this Cao Lang is a bit more handsome, when it comes to technological talent, Brother Li Xuan is number one in Huaxia!”

“When I was a freshman at Beijing University, I was already very familiar with Brother Li Xuan's hacking exploits at the neighboring Tsinghua University!”

Li Xuan felt a bit proud and deliberately feigned ignorance, asking, “Oh? Which incident are you talking about? I've done many great things.”

“Back then, Brother Li Xuan hacked into a foreign power's website and hung the Huaxia national flag on it, showing our national prestige! At that time, all the computer science students regarded you as the one true god of the Tsinghua University Computer Science Department! I never expected to become Brother Li Xuan's subordinate after graduation; it's truly an honor!”

Sun Tingting reminisced about the hacking incident with a hint of excitement.

Li Xuan waved his hand, though the look of pride on his face was completely unconcealed.

Although that attack on the foreign power was done by an entire hacker organization, the act of hanging the flag was something he had done personally!

On that point, Sun Tingting wasn't wrong.

However, he wasn't going to explain anything; he would let this beautiful misunderstanding continue to grow.

“Tingting, everyone has their strengths. I think Internet Celebrities should entertain the public, and scientists should benefit humanity. Only when there is a clear division of responsibility will society function stably. If everyone tries to do someone else's job, society will fall into chaos!”

At this time, Li Xuan was muttering in a low voice, not daring to speak loudly.

However, the way he and Sun Tingting were whispering was noticed by Su Wei.

Su Wei's brow furrowed slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

“Li Xuan! Is there a problem? What are you doing whispering all the time? CEO Cao just praised you; don't get complacent!”

Li Xuan was stunned, his face feeling a bit hot from embarrassment.

Su Wei had never criticized him in public before; after all, they had a bond as former classmates!

Back then, Su Wei had even humbly asked him for help with difficult computer problems, and Li Xuan had taken the time to guide her.

Now the roles had reversed, and Su Wei was actually speaking to him so mercilessly!

However, Su Wei was the CEO after all. Their school days were long gone, and this was the cruel workplace where rank suppresses people, let alone Su Wei being the company's highest decision-maker!

“No, it's nothing, CEO Su. Tingting and I were just discussing yesterday's work results!”

Li Xuan felt resentful in his heart but didn't dare to talk back.

He silently swallowed his pride and stole a glance at Su Wei's slender figure, thinking to himself: 'How you're snapping at me today... once I use my sweet talk to win you over, I'll definitely snap back at you twice as hard!'

Su Wei's brow finally relaxed, and she said nothing more.

Sun Tingting tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve and said somewhat apologetically, “Brother Li Xuan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you questions and gotten you scolded.”

Li Xuan gave a grunt of acknowledgment and said nothing more.

Sun Tingting was also quite pretty; she would make a good bed partner in the future.

Cao Lang was currently at the data center's control console studying the AI models, completely oblivious to the minor episode happening over there.

Su Wei led the group, standing five meters away and waiting patiently.

While training the AI model, Cao Lang encountered a minor technical problem. He was currently deducing a solution in his mind, leaving Su Wei and the others waiting for over ten minutes.

“Weiwei, I think this Cao Lang is just a layman. Should I go and introduce the basic functions of AI to him? We should send him on his way quickly so we can continue our research and development work.”

Li Xuan stepped forward, standing behind Su Wei, and took a deep, greedy breath of her subtle fragrance.

Su Wei turned around and looked at Li Xuan with some annoyance.

“What did you call me? Is 'Weiwei' something you're allowed to call me?”

Su Wei's voice was a bit loud. Li Xuan was somewhat embarrassed but remained stubborn.

“Back when we were in university, wasn't that what I always called you?”

Su Wei didn't know what had gotten into Li Xuan and was about to lose her temper.

Suddenly, with a loud hum, the lights in the data center flared brightly, and the computing power of twenty thousand H100 GPUs began to operate at full capacity!

Without a doubt, Cao Lang was training an AI model!

Seeing this, Li Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile and strode toward the data center control room:

“See, Weiwei? I told you Cao Lang was just messing around and would cause trouble! Starting the computing power before the algorithm is even finished will cause big problems! Now I'm the only one who can go in and clean up his mess!”

Su Wei barked an order: “Get back here! Without CEO Cao's command, no one is allowed to approach the control room or disturb his work! Can you take responsibility for that?”

Li Xuan was stunned; he hadn't expected this!

He stepped back awkwardly.

But his tone had become dissatisfied:

“Fine, then wait. I have the best technical skills of everyone here. As long as there's still time, I can still recover the losses.”

Hearing this, Su Wei was furious—truly furious!

Li Xuan's abnormal behavior had truly touched her bottom line.

She was a smart woman, and by comparing his behavior before and after, she knew that this bastard Li Xuan was jealous.

But of all people to be jealous of, he chose Cao Lang!

The entire data center was built with Cao Lang's investment; he was the one and only emperor here!

Forget starting the data center; even if he set the place on fire, Su Wei wouldn't dare say a word.

Thinking of this, to prevent Li Xuan from causing any more trouble, Su Wei immediately decided to fire him!

“Li Xuan, starting now, suspend your current work. Sun Tingting will take over your position.”

Sun Tingting let out an 'ah' of surprise, confused by the sudden appointment.

Brother Li Xuan was so excellent, why was he suddenly being removed from his post? Was it just because he had criticized Cao Lang earlier?

Just what was this Cao Lang's background?

And Li Xuan wasn't going to take it lying down either; things had come to this, so he had to ask the question in his heart!

“Su Wei! You were the one who begged me to come work at Peak AI Company! Now you're removing me without any reason! I'm your senior! What exactly did I do wrong? Are you firing me just because I can't stand a layman?! Cao Lang is just your former boss; you'd rather protect him and fire me?!”

Li Xuan's voice was quite loud, so loud that even Cao Lang inside the transparent glass control room could hear him!
