Chapter 311: Introducing Someone!

“Bulletproof car?” Shen Fei asked in response.

“Yes, that’s right! Please don’t overthink it, President Shen! After all, with such a large company, it’s inevitable that some people might envy you,” Yuan Song said seriously, his expression unchanged.

“So, for your personal safety, it’s best to take this step!” he added.

“If you want, I think Hu’s Auto in China would meet the requirements! Although it’s not as well-known as foreign brands, its bulletproof rating is top-notch! These cars are hard to come by! Even if you have the money, they’re not easy to buy! But if you need one, I believe President Hu can help, and you’ll get one quickly!”

This was the longest sentence Yuan Song had said since coming to Yuan Ge Base.

“President Hu? Yuan Tai?” Shen Fei asked with interest.

“Yes,” Yuan Song replied.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei wanted to dig deeper into Hu Yuan Tai’s background.

But after thinking it over, he decided to hold off for now.

After all, based on Yuan Song’s terse nature, it would be impossible to extract the information Shen Fei most wanted.

“Alright, I understand. If I need it, I’ll contact him!” Shen Fei said as he turned to walk into the company building.

The five people behind him followed. They didn’t look like people to mess with, which led to some curious glances from others when Shen Fei arrived upstairs.

However, Shen Fei paid them no mind and led his group to General Manager Han Xinyan’s office.

Hearing a knock, Han Xinyan said, “Come in!”

When she saw the people behind Shen Fei, she was very surprised and asked, “Shen Fei, who are these people?”

Having never seen them before, she had no idea who they were.

“Ah Yan, let me introduce them!” Shen Fei smiled and introduced everyone.

Xu Nana happily shook hands with Han Xinyan.

Yuan Song, Zhao Ran, and Mo Xiang were still calm and simply smiled faintly when Shen Fei mentioned their names.

Deng Xin did the same.

“Ah Yan, from now on, Xu Nana will be your driver, bodyguard, and secretary! She’s a retired special forces soldier, very capable! Zhao Ran and Mo Xiang will be your secret guards and Yueyue’s too! From now on, you’ll feel safer when you go out!” Shen Fei said seriously.

The efficiency of all this made Han Xinyan stunned.

“Did you find bodyguards this quickly?”

“President Han, please take care of us in the future!” Xu Nana cheerfully replied.

Seeing Xu Nana’s energy, Han Xinyan smiled and said, “Thank you for looking out for me and my daughter’s safety!”

After exchanging pleasantries, Han Xinyan greeted the others.

“Ah Yan, you go ahead and continue working! I’ll take them to sign the contract and discuss the other details!” Shen Fei said, leading everyone to the conference room.

They briefly discussed matters, and after signing the contract, Yuan Song, Zhao Ran, and Mo Xiang left the meeting room.

Xu Nana returned to Han Xinyan’s office to begin learning how to be a secretary.

Only Shen Fei and Deng Xin were left in the meeting room.

“Deng Xin, provide your bank account details! I’ll transfer two million to you now!”

“Two million?” Deng Xin asked, somewhat confused.

But then he was filled with immense gratitude toward Shen Fei.

“President Shen, thank you!” he said solemnly.

He quickly took out his bank card and handed it to Shen Fei.

Shen Fei took the card and transferred two million to him.

Afterward, Shen Fei and Deng Xin headed back to Yunhe Villa.

In the building where Shen Fei lived, he bought the houses across the street and downstairs.

He arranged for Xu Nana and Zhao Ran to live across the street and for Yuan Song, Mo Xiang, and Deng Xin to live downstairs.

In just one day, Shen Fei spent tens of millions.

But to him, this wasn’t much. After all, buying a couple of extra properties was just like making two more investments.

Once all these matters were taken care of, Shen Fei finally relaxed, feeling a sense of relief.

It wasn’t easy!

By the time everything settled, it was already late evening.

Sitting on the sofa at home, Shen Fei called Old Secretary Jiang Anbang.

“Old man, what are you doing?”

It took a while before the phone was answered.

Shen Fei immediately smiled and asked.

“What else? Just tending to my plants!” Jiang Anbang laughed.

After a pause, he added with a smile,

“You brat! Tiancheng told me about that matter, and I understand! You want to transfer your daughter to Weideli?”

“Yes! After thinking about it, it’s the best aristocratic kindergarten in the city! Their security system is top-notch! After yesterday’s incident, I don’t want my daughter’s safety to be at risk at all!” Shen Fei said seriously.

“Mm! That’s the right thing to do! Not just for your daughter, but you and your wife’s safety should be a priority too! I won’t say anything else, but your scar ointment product alone is enough to make many people envious! The more someone can’t get it, the more they’ll want to destroy it.”

For the first time, Jiang Anbang was speaking candidly, then he continued,

“Plus, Weideli is a great kindergarten! Even Guotu’s nephew goes there! I’ve already made some arrangements! Once they hear your child is the founder of the scar ointment, they immediately agreed! Just take your daughter there tomorrow! The paperwork is ready!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you, Old Man!”

“Is a simple ‘thank you’ enough?” the old man teased.

Shen Fei laughed,

“Well, Old Man, what kind of thanks do you want from me?”

“I’ve been craving your cooking for a while!” the old man said.

“Alright, Old Man, I’m on my way to bring you some food now!” Shen Fei said.

“Alright, alright! I’ve been looking forward to it!” the old man laughed heartily.

As the old man’s hearty laughter faded, they ended the call.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 312: Not Much, Over 10 Billion!

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei told Han Xinyan and immediately drove towards the market.

After buying the groceries, he drove to the Jiang family’s manor.

At the Jiang family manor, Shen Fei entered the door. Before he could say much to the old man, Jiang Anbang sent him straight to the kitchen.

It wasn’t until nightfall that Shen Fei finished preparing a rich array of dishes.

“Old man, the meal is ready. Where’s the person you wanted to introduce?” Shen Fei asked in confusion.

“Eat first, eat first!” the old man said with a smiling face, ignoring Shen Fei’s question.

Then, inhaling the delicious aroma of the food in the room, he took the lead in picking up his chopsticks.

“Xiao Shen, do you know about the stock god of Huaguo? In just a few days, he shorted Tesla with 4 to 5 billion dollars and made a profit of several hundred billion!” Jiang Anbang suddenly said with great interest halfway through the meal.

Hearing this, Shen Fei’s heart skipped a beat.

Surprised in his heart, his expression remained calm on the surface.

“Yeah, I think I’ve heard something about it!” Shen Fei replied.

“Then, Xiao Shen, what kind of person do you think this stock god of Huaguo is? I don’t know much about stocks, but I’ve seen Tesla mentioned a lot in the news lately. Their brand must have a good future. So, how bold do you think someone has to be to invest so much money and short Tesla?” Jiang Anbang asked, smiling as he stared at Shen Fei.

Shen Fei immediately sensed the implication behind the old man’s words.

He was trying to link the stock god of Huaguo to him!

After a pause, Shen Fei smiled and replied, “Old man, from the way you’re speaking, it seems like you’ve guessed that I might be the one you’re referring to as the stock god of Huaguo!”

“Five billion dollars, sixty times leverage, such a bold way of doing things. Not only did he make hundreds of billions, but all that money eventually ended up in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange!” Jiang Anbang said with a knowing look, the meaning clear in his eyes.

“Old man, since you’ve put it this way, are you implying that you suspect me?” Shen Fei laughed.

“Isn’t that so? In all my years, I’ve only ever seen one true genius, and that’s you!” Jiang Anbang replied with a smile.

Shen Fei couldn’t respond to that.

“Old man, you really overestimate me!” Shen Fei chuckled wryly.

Jiang Anbang immediately shook his head, took a sip of egg drop soup, and then said,

“Xiao Shen, I’m not just guessing. After the last incident, I asked Tiancheng. That kid, I’ve watched him grow up, and everything he does is within my expectations! If he lies, I can tell right away! He’s involved in this matter, and it definitely has something to do with you! Since meeting you, I’ve noticed how eager he is about you!”

Pausing, Jiang Anbang continued,

“I know you don’t want to admit it, but based on the way things have developed, you shorted Kongshi Group, and not long after, the group ran into trouble! You went to acquire the land in Lijiacun, and within a few days, the land value skyrocketed, and Qiankun Group bought it for a high price! Doesn’t all of this sound unbelievable? But in the end, it was all confirmed! So now, isn’t the Tesla situation even stranger? Do you think this has nothing to do with you?”

After hearing Jiang Anbang’s analysis, Shen Fei was speechless.

Even though he had lived two lives, there were still some aspects in which he couldn’t compare to Jiang Anbang, the old fox!

“Well, I have to admit, your analysis makes a lot of sense, Old Man!” Shen Fei said, sighing in resignation.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it, Shen Fei had no choice but to confess.

When Jiang Anbang heard Shen Fei’s admission, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Xiao Shen, sometimes you really leave me speechless! Are you really that good at predicting things? How did you know Tesla’s stock price would plummet?”

“Old man, to be honest, this was expected! Although Tesla has been very popular recently, there have been many reports abroad about problems with their brakes, but under the control of assets worth hundreds of billions, it was kept under wraps! What happened at the Beijing auto show was just an opportunity! If it hadn’t exploded out of silence, it would have quietly collapsed. That’s obvious! That’s why I invested the money beforehand! Sixty times leverage is the maximum leverage you can use to short a stock, and once Tesla’s stock price falls, shorting it will be the best strategy. That’s why I took such a bold approach!”

Shen Fei explained calmly.

What he didn’t know was that Jiang Anbang was stunned after hearing this, and he gasped in disbelief.

“You shorted Tesla just based on that one thing? Don’t you worry about being wrong in your analysis and losing everything?”

“With the scar ointment, what do I have to worry about? Worst case, I’ll start over and rebuild my funds! Besides, such a good opportunity—if I don’t seize it, wouldn’t that be a loss?”

Shen Fei’s passionate words truly shocked Jiang Anbang.

“Xiao Shen, you’re betting everything you have!” Jiang Anbang paused and then said with regret,

“Xiao Shen, you know better than anyone how dangerous gambling is! Once you start, there’s no end to it! If you’re this bold in business, I won’t say much, because even if you lose, it will still be honorable. But a casino is different! All the wealth you’ve accumulated can turn to ashes in a second! That’s the danger of gambling! You just barely escaped, and now you’re stepping right into another trap. How can I accept that?”

Seeing the old man worried about him but misunderstanding his actions, Shen Fei couldn’t help but laugh and sigh.

If he weren’t a reborn person, he could never have taken such risks.

But the fact was, not only had he been reborn, but he had also experienced this situation in his past life.

Seeing the old man so concerned, Shen Fei could only helplessly admit his mistake.

“Old man, you’re right!”

“Xiao Shen, I just don’t want to see you end up back in the past!” Jiang Anbang said seriously.

“Don’t forget, once you start gambling, there’s always the next time, the next time! I’ve always thought highly of you, but I don’t want you to stop here! You must keep developing!” he added.

“I understand, Old Man!” Shen Fei lowered his head.

Seeing Shen Fei so obedient, Jiang Anbang felt a little uncomfortable.

“Tsk, you brat, why aren’t you arguing anymore?”

“Old man, you’re absolutely right. I totally agree, so why argue?” Shen Fei laughed.

“Alright, alright, you brat!” Jiang Anbang chuckled and then asked,

“How much did Tiancheng earn by following you?”

“Not much, over a hundred billion!” Shen Fei replied nonchalantly.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 313: A 99% Chance of Success!

“What? Say that again?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anbang choked on a piece of fish he had just put in his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

However, Jiang Anbang didn’t care about calming himself down. He looked at Shen Fei in shock.

“I’m not sure about the exact amount, but it’s definitely over a hundred billion!” Shen Fei said calmly.

Jiang Anbang was once again stunned.

“Over a hundred billion?”

This man, who had spent his entire life in politics and thought that fifty billion was a lot, could never have imagined what it would be like to earn over a hundred billion in just a few days!

And the person doing it was someone he knew very well!

It was simply unbelievable!

Jiang Anbang nearly lost control of his emotions.

Seeing this, Shen Fei couldn’t help but say,

“It’s true. I didn’t expect that Tiancheng would be so bold! He invested seven billion!”

Jiang Anbang already knew about this matter, so Shen Fei felt there was no need to hide it anymore.

Meanwhile, Jiang Anbang began calculating in his mind.

Seven billion, with sixty times leverage, over a hundred billion was the least he could earn!

This damn kid, without saying a word, took out all his wealth just to short Teslax?

“This kid, I think he’s getting cocky, daring to be so bold!”

Jiang Anbang didn’t feel happy about Jiang Tiancheng earning over a hundred billion.

After figuring it out, Jiang Anbang gritted his teeth,

“To be honest, seven billion is already quite a lot for the Jiang family right now! His father, due to the construction issues, not only owes a lot of external debt, but those dozen buildings haven’t been fully processed yet, and the company is still in a loss-making state! This kid, really… sigh!”

“Old man, I can’t listen to this!” Shen Fei quickly waved his hand.

“Tiancheng did this because he trusts me!”

When Jiang Anbang heard this, he realized that his words might have hurt Shen Fei’s feelings.

So he quickly added,

“Shen boy, I didn’t mean to blame you! I just think this kid is sometimes too impulsive! Can he be compared to you? No! He runs a small company, and if he makes one or two million in a year, that’s already a huge achievement! I understand that he trusts you, but to risk it all like this, it’s irresponsible to both him and the Jiang family!”

Shen Fei was stunned.

He hadn’t known that Jiang Tiancheng had invested seven billion.

If what Jiang Anbang said was true, then Tiancheng really trusted him immensely!

“Shen boy, I really don’t understand your thinking anymore! Tiancheng trusts you so much, he can take out seven billion. What about you? You must be even bolder than him! There’s no way you didn’t have at least ten billion!”

After a pause, Jiang Anbang continued,

“Sixty times leverage, a slight fluctuation in the stock market, and you’ll either make a huge fortune or lose everything! It’s a gamble, and the stakes are too high! You have the scar cream, so even if you lose, you can make it back with time. But that kid is too naive! If he loses, his little company will go bankrupt! This kid is really reckless!”

However, Shen Fei shook his head after hearing this,

“Old man, Tiancheng’s trust in me was something I didn’t expect! But, Old man, since I dared to have Tiancheng do this, I’m confident I can succeed! Otherwise, how could I even talk about it? But right now, the details of this, I can’t explain to you! In any case, Tiancheng hasn’t lost; instead, he has earned over a hundred billion. That’s already a good result, right?”

Seeing Jiang Anbang in shock, Shen Fei continued,

“Old man, don’t worry! I will never go back to my past gambling life! I’ve learned my lesson and won’t return to those painful times! It’s not possible now, and it won’t be in the future! But I’m an adult, and I’m fully aware of what I’m doing! For everything, I’ve only taken risks when I sensed it was the right direction! Just like with this shorting of Teslax, I dare say I have a 99% chance of success!”

“99%?”

What’s the difference between 99% and 100%?

Jiang Anbang didn’t understand, but seeing Shen Fei so confident, he could only sigh in his heart.

Times have changed, and so have the thoughts of young people!

These young people really dare to dream and act!

“Shen boy, besides Tiancheng, there must be others involved too!”

No longer dwelling on the previous topic, Jiang Anbang shifted the conversation.

“Yes! Yuan Tai and Gu Xiang are also involved!” Shen Fei answered loudly.

“I knew it!”

Jiang Anbang continued,

“How much did these two make?”

“Not as much as Tiancheng and I, but eighty billion is for sure!” Shen Fei affirmed.

“Gee~”

Jiang Anbang once again sucked in a breath of cold air and then sighed,

“You guys are really crazy!”

Not wanting to continue discussing this, Shen Fei quickly changed the topic,

“Old man, I wanted to ask, do you know anything about Yuan Tai’s background?”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Anbang asked.

“I’m just curious, so I wanted to ask!” Shen Fei smiled.

“Tiancheng has never inquired about Yuan Tai’s background! You’re really more cunning than that kid!” Jiang Anbang marveled.

“So?” Shen Fei grew even more confused.

“So? There’s nothing to say! Shen boy, I’ll tell you, if you think Yuan Tai is someone you can get along with, then do so! If not, just keep it casual! As for anything else, don’t ask and don’t inquire!” Jiang Anbang said.

“Tsk, Old man, you’re implying Yuan Tai’s background is not simple!” Shen Fei said in surprise.

Though, Shen Fei didn’t fully understand.

If Yuan Tai’s background was really so impressive, then why did the Jiang family, with such a good relationship with Yuan Tai in the past, still end up in such a situation?

Seeing Shen Fei frown, Jiang Anbang said,

“Shen boy, some things are better left unexamined! Yuan Tai is a good capitalist! I trust Tiancheng’s relationship with him!”

This statement only made Yuan Tai’s background even more mysterious.

Shen Fei knew that continuing to ask wouldn’t lead to any answers, so he decided not to dwell on it anymore.

“Old man, you said you wanted to introduce someone to me, but where are they?”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. Let’s eat first!” Jiang Anbang smiled and started eating.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 314: A Pleasant Conversation!

When Jiang Anbang gave an off-topic response, Shen Fei was left speechless. However, since Jiang Anbang acted this way, Shen Fei didn’t push further.

After finishing the meal, Shen Fei didn’t see the person the old man mentioned.

Tonight, Jiang Shengcai and Jiang Tiancheng also didn’t appear.

This made the already quiet courtyard even more silent.

But the old man appeared completely at ease, as if he was accustomed to it.

After dinner, they moved to the living room. Shen Fei didn’t ask about the person the old man had mentioned.

The old man enjoyed watching news related to the two coastlines, so Shen Fei accompanied him in doing so.

But as they continued watching, the old man suddenly changed from his usual calm demeanor.

“Who are these people? They forget how peace was won once they have it? One day, they will regret it! They certainly will!”

“Old man, you know these people’s style, don’t you? It’s not worth getting angry with them,” Shen Fei quickly tried to calm him down.

“I know it’s not worth it! But I can’t help it! I’ve been in politics for so many years, and the wish of Hua county has always been my wish—unification as soon as possible! But unfortunately, after all this time, there has been no movement! I really wonder if I will see that moment before I die!” Jiang Anbang sighed deeply.

“Old man, just wait a few more years! It’ll be soon!” Shen Fei said, taking a sip of tea.

When these words were spoken, Jiang Anbang immediately turned to look at Shen Fei in surprise.

“I have a feeling! Old man, the situation you want will be achieved soon!” Shen Fei said calmly.

He wasn’t just bluffing the old man. This was indeed the way things would develop in the future.

About three or four years later, on National Day, the whole country would celebrate, and the two coasts would come together, bringing peace and harmony to Hua country.

However, he didn’t dare share any more details with Jiang Anbang.

Jiang Anbang, hearing Shen Fei mention a “feeling,” couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Little Shen, I’m still waiting for the rest of your story! But it doesn’t matter, I know these words are just to comfort me! I understand, the relations between the two coasts have been the same all these years, with no improvement! Still, every time I hear it, I get angry for a while! But I’ll get over it soon!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei didn’t say anything else.

What he had said about unification in a few years wasn’t a lie, but since Jiang Anbang didn’t believe it, there was nothing else Shen Fei could say.

Fortunately, Jiang Tiancheng wasn’t at home right now. If he had heard about Shen Fei’s “feeling,” he would have insisted on prying more details out of him.

At that moment, the news about the two coasts ended on the TV, and after a commercial break, Jiang Anbang calmly looked outside the window.

“This should be the time. Could there be a traffic jam tonight?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of steady footsteps could be heard from the yard.

Soon, a middle-aged man, following the maid, appeared in the living room.

“Old Secretary!”

As soon as he entered, the man smiled at Jiang Anbang, took off his coat, and quickly greeted him.

When Shen Fei saw the man for the first time, he was immediately stunned.

Could this person be the one Jiang Anbang was going to introduce him to?

Although they had crossed paths a few times in his previous life, after Shen Fei was reborn, he never dared to have the thought of recruiting such a talented person into his camp. That thought was simply too wild—he couldn’t dare!

“Ah, good kid, I told you to come at 7:30, and you couldn’t even be ten minutes early!” When Jiang Anbang saw the man, he stood up happily.

“Wasn’t it rush hour? The traffic jam,” the man scratched his head awkwardly.

“Alright, as long as you’re here!”

Jiang Anbang waved his hand to Shen Fei.

“Little Shen, this is the person I wanted to introduce to you! His name is Ji Jian, and he just returned to Hua country not long ago! He’s an exceptional talent, and I thought you two should meet.”

After saying this, Jiang Anbang looked at Ji Jian and added, “This is Shen Fei, the boss of the Scar Cream!”

“Mr. Shen, I’ve heard so much about you! Scar Cream is just as popular abroad as it is here! Overseas, people tend to be biased against products made in Hua country, but once Scar Cream appeared, it immediately caught the attention of many foreign companies! The miraculous effects have made many people eager to buy a bottle!” Ji Jian greeted Shen Fei with a smile.

Shen Fei smiled slightly, shook Ji Jian’s hand, and said, “Mr. Ji, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Scar Cream is just a new star in the skincare industry. Whether it can continue to develop depends on our future efforts!”

“Mr. Shen, you’re too humble, haha! Scar Cream has already shaken up the domestic skincare scene! It’s become a nationwide sensation, and this is with your limited daily production! If the production increases in the future, it will surely become even more popular! I doubt there’s any product in the world that can compete with Scar Cream!” Ji Jian analyzed calmly.

When he looked at Shen Fei again, his eyes were filled with admiration.

After all, a young man who had yet to reach thirty had already captured a large portion of the domestic skincare market with the miraculous Scar Cream.

While anyone could achieve success with Scar Cream’s formula, the real challenge was being able to find the formula and keep it tightly under control despite external pressures.

To do that, especially as someone without power or influence, was no small feat.

But Shen Fei had done it!

“Mr. Ji, you know quite a lot about Scar Cream!” Shen Fei said, a bit surprised.

“Of course! Scar Cream was incredibly popular not long ago! Every time I browsed social media, I’d see posts about it! And someone I know has used it, and the results were instant! If the market expands abroad, it will undoubtedly spark a new wave!” Ji Jian said sincerely.

“Mr. Ji, your praise is too much! We can’t even supply the domestic market properly, so how could we think about foreign markets?” Shen Fei still smiled.

His calm demeanor made Ji Jian look at him with even more respect.

After a pause, Ji Jian continued, “If Mr. Shen exports the product, will the price be the same as it is domestically?”

“Well… Mr. Ji, some big international brands have terrible products, but when they enter the domestic market, their prices go up! Scar Cream should follow the same logic. Since the effects are here, why not raise the price abroad?” Shen Fei replied calmly.

“Haha, Mr. Shen, you’re indeed exceptional!” Ji Jian laughed heartily.

“It’s been a pleasant conversation! Very good!” Jiang Anbang said with satisfaction from the side.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 315: It Should Be This Way!

“Old sir, this is truly an amazing person! The effect of the Scar Healing Balm is so powerful. It’s mainstream in China and luxury abroad, that’s rare! Mr. Shen is so impressive, and the discussions abroad are heated!” Ji Jian spoke in a very light and cheerful tone.

“Ah, they’re discussing me abroad?” Shen Fei was somewhat surprised.

“Of course! Compared to the Scar Healing Balm, your topic has clearly gained more attention! From now on, your name, Shen Fei, will be known worldwide! If I’m not mistaken, soon, many top international brands will come to talk to you about cooperation!”

Shen Fei, however, shook his head after hearing this.

“Mr. Ji, if those people really come, then all I can do is apologize to them!”

Before Ji Jian could continue asking, Shen Fei directly turned to Jiang Anbang, changing the topic.

“Old sir, since you personally introduced Mr. Ji to me, it must mean that Mr. Ji is someone remarkable! In that case, please properly introduce Mr. Ji to me, so that I don’t accidentally say something inappropriate out of ignorance!”

Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Jiang Anbang immediately became serious.

“It should be that way!”

“Ten years ago, Ji Jian was a student at a key university in Beijing. As an exchange student, he went abroad to further his studies. You must know, ten years ago, with Ji Jian’s extraordinary talents, he was a hot commodity! Many old professors focused on research had pinned their hopes for China’s future technological development on Ji Jian! To put it bluntly, Ji Jian was a top figure in the tech world, the future hope of technological development!”

“Under such circumstances, Ji Jian’s reputation grew, and many international schools began offering him opportunities, promising many free resources! Among these, Ji Jian chose to attend a university in the Ugly Country! Just when everyone thought Ji Jian would return to China after graduation to contribute to the country’s tech development, he instead accepted an invitation from the Ugly Country’s research lab and joined their international team! When this news came out, many people in China began to boycott Ji Jian, and they harshly criticized Ji Jian and his family!”

“Fortunately, Ji Jian was not affected by these attacks! In fact, because of this, the Ugly Country placed even more importance on Ji Jian! He not only entered their research lab but also became one of the youngest professors. He was even recommended by the Ugly Country into their top laboratory, becoming a core member!”

“Now, seven years have passed, and Ji Jian’s contract with them has expired. He did not choose to renew it, and instead returned to China. This action angered the Ugly Country so much that they gritted their teeth in fury and vowed never to let Ji Jian set foot in their country again! They threatened that anyone or any company that accepts or cooperates with Ji Jian will face all kinds of measures to destroy them!”

“However, Shen Fei, you must know all of this,” Jiang Anbang said, continuing the story.

“But the show must go on, so Shen Fei acted completely surprised.

Jiang Anbang went on, “Because of these actions from the Ugly Country, most companies in China have welcomed Ji Jian’s return and wanted to hire him, but due to the threats, they have had to be cautious! Even the government has been unable to intervene directly and can only assist Ji Jian in secret!”

“Little Ji is still a U.S. citizen! It’s not easy to operate in such a situation. But no matter what, given that Ji Jian has learned the Ugly Country’s chip technology and has returned to China without hesitation, the government won’t ignore him! However, Ji Jian has been rejecting any official assistance because he fears it might bring unwanted consequences for the government.”

“Well, then what happens next?”

Shen Fei’s heart began to race.

Now that Jiang Anbang had put it this way, Shen Fei understood his intentions immediately! Wasn’t it obvious that he was trying to push Ji Jian toward him?

But if Shen Fei’s memory of the previous life was correct, Ji Jian’s eventual destination in his past life was a Chinese electronics company called Huawei.

Huawei had taken the huge risk of bringing this top talent into their fold! And in doing so, the company faced heavy pressure from the Ugly Country, both financially and politically, which was a first in the Ugly Country’s history!

This suppression lasted for two years, with Huawei continuing to operate while under heavy debt. It wasn’t until two years later that the government finally stepped in, supporting Huawei to the fullest. That was when Ji Jian, once labeled a traitor, developed a domestic lithography machine, breaking through a technological barrier and creating a new record in lithography history.

This move allowed Huawei to rise to prominence, becoming the most popular electronics company in the country, shedding its previous poor reputation.

And now, the very same person who had made such a remarkable impact in the past was standing right in front of him!

It seemed like Jiang Anbang was trying to introduce him to Shen Fei, hoping he would bring Ji Jian on board.

Ah, Shen Fei didn’t know what to think anymore.

“Mr. Shen, I know that my current situation might be too difficult for you. But from now on, if you invest the money, I’ll handle the research. Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences has said that I can select talent from all the researchers in China if needed! Lithography machines are a barrier we’ve never broken through before, and they’ve always been a subject of ridicule by the Ugly Country! If we can develop it, we’ll no longer have to rely on the Ugly Country’s technology. That’s the main reason I returned to China.”

Ji Jian spoke very sincerely.

But Shen Fei, pretending not to understand, asked, “Old sir, Mr. Ji, I understand the logic, but how could I possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility?”

Shen Fei couldn’t help but be moved by the potential of this opportunity, one that could make him a giant in the tech world. But while he was interested, he still wanted to ask for the specific reasons behind it.

“Mr. Shen, the reason I was able to study abroad and achieve what I have now is all thanks to Old Jiang! Without him, I might have been just a regular worker! When I told everything to Old Jiang, the first thing he thought of was you!” Ji Jian explained.

Shen Fei, hearing this, looked at Jiang Anbang with slight confusion.

“Ji Jian is a rare talent! Although the Ugly Country keeps a close watch on him, there are many companies in China that would welcome him. Huawei is one of them! But because of our relationship, I thought of you first! Don’t let the good water flow to outsiders! Whether this happens or not depends on both of you!” Jiang Anbang said solemnly.
