It wasn't that Yi Anguo was indifferent to peril; he was simply powerless!

This situation is clearly Yi Xiaoman's fault. If you don't like her, don't sleep with her! Once you do, you have no right to regret it. Without even understanding the circumstances, you dared to casually sleep with a girl. Now that she's demanding you take responsibility, what are you going to do?

Just as Yi Anguo was dealing with the headache of Yi Xiaoman's issue, his personal assistant, Zhou Mengdie, came over with an invitation. "There's an investment networking reception you're invited to attend," she said. "It's scheduled for the day after tomorrow at eight in the evening."

"Another investment networking reception?" Yi Anguo said with dissatisfaction. "The attendees are almost always real estate developers and film and entertainment companies. What's the point of that? Is our nation supposed to grow and revitalize itself by relying on these industries?"

"This time is different. I've heard that the CEOs of many large corporations will be there, including the chairman of Center International."

Center International... the man from Taiwan, Zhang Jing? Isn't Center International based in Modu? A flicker of interest crossed Yi Anguo's mind as he asked with some confusion.

"The headquarters of Center International is in Modu, but they have investments and factories in places like Jingcheng, Jinmen, and Tianfu. They're probably coming to Shenzhen this time to investigate the possibility of building a factory here," Zhou Mengdie explained.

"Good! Haha! I've long admired Mr. Zhang Jing from Taiwan and am very interested in meeting him. I just wonder if I'll have the chance to converse with him privately," Yi Anguo said with a laugh.

"I will do my best to communicate with his side," Zhou Mengdie replied.

"Hmm. If he's willing, that's for the best. If not, there's no need to force it," Yi Anguo nodded.

After Yi Anguo had handed over power to Chen Jianjun, he had casually asked Zhou Mengdie if she would be willing to become his personal assistant. To his surprise, she agreed without hesitation, and so she naturally became his personal assistant.

She usually represented Yi Anguo, inspecting the various industries and companies under his name and reporting any issues she discovered. She was also responsible for his external communications and affairs, often working from the office to handle official business.

However, Zhou Mengdie was not an employee of Chen's Enterprises. Nor was she an employee of Anguo Computer Technology Company, which operated the Tranquil Online Supermarket, or Anguo Property Management. She was purely Yi Anguo's personal assistant, though her official ties remained with Chen's Enterprises.

In Chen Ting's words, they were using money from Chen's Enterprises to support Zhou Mengdie, yet Chen's Enterprises had no managerial authority over her.

But no one dared to underestimate Zhou Mengdie's status. Her every action and word represented the intentions of Yi Anguo.

Although Yi Anguo nominally no longer held any position or title at Chen's Enterprises, no one doubted his influence and power within the company.

The current Huafeng Precision Manufacturing Technology Group and Huafeng Industrial Park were built entirely from the ground up by Yi Anguo himself.

With the Huafeng Group established, Yi Anguo's next step was to venture into the field of technology research and development.

But Yi Anguo himself didn't understand technology R&D! He had to find someone knowledgeable to help him.

Of course, Yi Anguo didn't expect to hire Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing wasn't someone who could be swayed by money. Even if he were to be forced out of Center International in the future, he wasn't someone Yi Anguo could simply recruit for his own ends.

But Zhang Jing knew a lot of people! He had brought over 400 tech specialists from Taiwan to the mainland in one fell swoop to found the integrated circuit company, Center International.

Having previously worked at Texas Instruments, Zhang Jing had cultivated a great number of talented individuals across various sectors of the semiconductor industry. Yi Anguo's goal in meeting and speaking privately with Zhang Jing was to use it as a breakthrough, hoping to recruit technological talent from overseas to establish a semiconductor company.

Whether Zhang Jing would be willing to help, however, was hard to say. Yi Anguo could only hope he would.

Still, I have to give it a shot. What if it works?

Compared to the Tranquil Online Supermarket, Anguo Property Management, and the rosewood furniture factory, Yi Anguo was more eager to focus his efforts on technology R&D and manufacturing. He wanted to become an entrepreneur like Ren Zhenfei, admired by his countrymen, and do his part for the nation's development.

「On the evening of the third day.」

Yi Anguo and his personal assistant, Zhou Mengdie, attended the investment networking reception together.

This event was hosted by the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Bureau and attended by business owners with assets in the hundreds of millions.

Yi Anguo's Anguo Computer Technology Service Company had accepted thirty million US dollars in venture capital and was growing rapidly. The company was not only well-known in Shenzhen but also incredibly popular among the youth in Yangcheng. Its next step was to expand its services across the entire Pearl River Delta metropolitan area.

According to the latest market valuation, the Tranquil Online Supermarket was valued at one hundred million US dollars. Many investors were interested in it, but the company had no plans for further financing at the moment.

So, it was no surprise that the organizers had invited Yi Anguo; his achievements spoke for themselves.

Chen Jianjun was also among the invitees. When he saw Yi Anguo arrive accompanied by Zhou Mengdie, who was dressed in an evening gown that stunned the crowd, he couldn't help but frown.
