Chapter 171: Invitation to the World Internet Conference
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Days passed. Alice commented that she had observed the occurrence of a particle collision incident of low probability. She had accumulated high-value data for a total of two times.
“Good!” With this, Chen Jin was able to completely let go of his worries. The shadow of doubt growing in his heart had fully dissipated. There was no need to go in a development direction like the “Blue Space” or to create a spaceship especially to conduct physics experiment in it while it was in the Pluto orbit. Breakthroughs could similarly be achieved by developing in Haierfa! “Ok, Nuwa, continue with your work on the remodeling of the environment. Alice, think of other ways to resolve the collider’s power supply issues.”
“Yes, master.” Nuwa flew away in the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens to continue her tasks on remodeling the environment.
Alice planned to take out the reactors in the nuclear submarines that were found in the Red Empire. The reactors would be transported to the side of the national test lab to provide a source of power for the large-sized particle colliders, so that exploration in the foundational sciences could continue to be carried out. Everything was going well in Haierfa.
…
On the 6th of November, Chen Jin was driving past the Forever Jewels jewelry shop that he had not visited in a long time, when he was struck with a thought. Slowing his car down, he parked in front of the shop and went in to observe.
“The boss is here!” A sharp-eyed female staff recognized him and screamed in pleasant surprise.
“Boss!”
“Good day, Boss!”
Other employees began to turn their heads and started screaming and shouting in surprise and joy. The two security guards at the door gave a 60-degree bow at the same time and greeted excitedly, “Welcome, boss!”
“Brother Chen….. President Chen?” Guo Yan, who was serving a customer, momentarily forgot what she wanted to say to the customer. She could only stare blankly at the man as her brain shut down.
Chen Jin walked towards the counter where she stood and waved a hand in greeting, “Hi! Guo Yan, have your days been going well? Have you adapted to the shop?” With a smile, he silently measured Guo Yan. She was wearing the uniform of the Assistant Store Manager. A silk scarf surrounded her beautiful neck and a gold badge was attached to her ample chest. As her current work was not physically tiring, combined with regular efforts in her appearance and maintenance, Guo Yan now looked even more gorgeous than she did two years ago. She seemed to have been eating better too, as her figure was fuller.
As the Assistant Store Manager who was supervising more than ten staff, she also had the imposing air and temperament of a leader in a management position. But this imposing air and dignity instantly disappeared upon seeing Chen Jin. Her heartbeat increased and her pretty face opened up. Hearing his concern, a blush appeared on her face. She said with a light and gentle voice, “Hmm… Good… very good. Thank you, President Chen.”
“Just call me Brother Chen, don’t address me like a stranger. You can address me like how you did in the past.”
“Hmm, Br…Brother Chen.” Guo Yan’s head lowered even more and her voice got so small that she could not even hear herself. Other female employees in the shop looked at her in envy and jealousy.
“Continue with your work, where is Auntie Chiu? Is she not around?”
“The Store Manager is taking stock of the inventory on the upper story.”
“I’ll get the Store Manager. Manager! Manager!” Two female staff behind him replied as one of them rushed upstairs.
“No need to call her down, I’ll go up.” Chen Jin followed behind.
The female customer that Guo Yan had been serving was feeling neglected. With an unhappy face, she muttered in discontent, “Just who is that? Acting like he’s so important…”
“He’s our boss, as well as the President of Xing Hai Technologies.”
“Our boss is great! He’s the one who created the Wa-wah Robot and the Little Star learning machine.”
“Our jewelry ship can also be considered as an asset under Xing Hai Technologies, but we were established earlier!”
“Anyway, the boss of our shop and the boss of Xing Hai Technologies is the same person.”
As the surrounding staff fought to explain, the eyes of the middle-aged female customer suddenly brightened! She did not know about the boss of Xing Hai Technologies, but the Little Star learning machine had helped her son achieve 40 more points in his exams. She really did not have to worry about his studies anymore. She felt so much thankful towards the inventor of the learning machine, and also wanted to send him a silk banner to express her gratitude.
Now that she knew the boss of the company that developed the learning machine was the same person who had stood beside her a moment ago, she could not hold onto her calm demeanor any longer. Promptly forgetting about her desire to buy jewelry, she said immediately, “Quick! Get me a pen and paper. I want to get an autograph from that young fellow!”
“Yes, of course.” With pride on her pretty features, Guo Yan found a pen and a card tag for the lady.
…
On the third story, Chiu Wan-Ting reported that the business performance of the jewelry shop had been really bad these past few months. She blamed herself for the poor performance of the shop.
Chen Jin comforted her. “It’s ok, Auntie Chiu. It’s fine if the monthly revenue is only a few hundred thousand. It’s not because of your incompetence. Stop blaming yourself. I’m very pleased that you manage to break even without incurring losses.” Forever Jewels was only a channel for him to sell off the gold from Haierfa. He used the sales from the huge quantities of gold as the initial capital needed to start his company. Now that Xing Hai Technologies had grown into a stronger position, the purpose behind the creation of the jewelry shop had been fulfilled. The amount of gold that he brought to his Mom each month for her to sell off had also decreased to a maximum of only 30 kilograms.
However, he would not close down this jewelry shop. He would keep it in operation to maintain a small but long-term cash flow. After all, there had to be a back-up plan for everything. If Xing Hai Technologies could not continue operating for whatever reason, he would at least have a source of income from the jewelry shop.
“Thank you, President Chen.” Chiu Wan-Ting let out a deep breath. She had even decided to suggest deducting a portion of her pay to alleviate the upset that the boss would surely feel. But it seemed that her worries were unnecessary. The boss was so good-natured!
Chen Jin went back downstairs. The middle-aged female customer blocked his way and said, “Young fellow, please give me an autograph. I’m thanking you on behalf of my son!”
“Boss, give me an autograph too.”
“Boss, I want an autograph too.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. The staff of the shop crowded together holding a piece of paper or a card tag in their hands.
“Ok!” Chen Jin took the pen with a smile and wrote down his name. However, he thought that it would be better if he dressed in a more ordinary manner with a cap the next time he came here so that he would not attract too much attention.
The last autograph was for Guo Yan, which he wrote down in her work planner. Besides an autograph, he even gave her two extra words: “good luck!”
…
On that same night, on a king-sized bed in a bedroom in villa No.8 of Junting Grand Court, Chen Jin was splayed out on the soft silken quilts after an intense round of love-making. Hi mind was totally blank. All the recent stress and worries had been swept from his mind. There was only pleasure and relaxation left. Sex was indeed a very relaxing matter. A smooth, beautiful body laid in his embrace. Pale arms and slender legs entwined around him like a snake.
A woman with a deep flush highlighting her face traced circles on his chest. She asked with a delicate and gentle voice, “Darling, you’re so good. I want to make a baby with you.”
“Oh…” Chen Jin put his arms around her pale shoulders and said, “Giving birth is painful, aren’t you scared?”
“Yes, but it’s for you, so I’m not afraid.”
“This… Let’s talk about this in the future. There’s no rush now.”
“The future?” The woman was delightfully surprised. “Darling, so you agree? This is great, thank you, dear!” She gave a smooch on the face of her man.
Chen Jin shook his head.
Ding dong~
At the head of the bed, his mobile phone beeped as it received a message. Stretching out his hand to scoop up the phone, he saw that it was a WeChat message from Brother Lei. “Brother Chen, are you ready? You must come to the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you!”
Chen Jin replied, “I’m ready. I’ll definitely be there tomorrow.”
Conference in Wuzhen?
Yuan Li had spotted the message with her sharp eyes. Her eyes sparkled and she asked in a coy and playful manner, “Darling, I want to go too. Take me with you?”
“Erm, this is not very convenient. There’s nothing interesting in a conference event. There’s no point for you to go.”
“Awww..” The woman disagreed in a blatantly unhappy tone, but quieted down to a “hmph” as she was afraid of angering the man.
