A short while later, the car arrived at Jebsen's main factory.

Jiang Jinhui was already there, smiling broadly. "President Lin, oh my, you look great today! Did you get a good night's rest?"

"Hmm, not bad." Lin Xuedong smiled slightly.

After everyone got out of the car, they all greeted him. "Good morning, Mr. Jiang."

"Okay, okay, good morning everyone. Have you had breakfast yet?" Jiang Jinhui's eyes were unabashedly fixed on Zeng Ziyan.

"Reporting to President Jiang, we've already eaten at the hotel," Gao Jun said with a smile, covering for Zeng Ziyan.

"Hehe~, that's good. Everyone, please come inside quickly, it's hot outside." Jiang Jinhui smiled and led them into the factory building.

Jebsen has two factory buildings. In the morning, they visited and inspected the main factory building. Lin Xuedong, with his long legs, strolled around the different departments and workshops.

The semiconductor chip research and development lab has nearly three hundred engineering and technical personnel. They had a lively conversation with Lin Xuedong and all agreed with his insights and vision in scientific research.

Most of the production lines in the workshop are fully automated, as are the quality control department and the raw material warehouse.

The place is very clean and tidy, showing that the management is very good, and the corresponding equipment and facilities are also complete.

Zeng Ziyan followed Lin Xuedong the whole time, willingly being his little shadow. She diligently photographed and collected information about the factory facilities and took notes very seriously. Suddenly, she felt a little happy.

In the afternoon, they visited Jebsen's Plant 2, which was half the size of the main plant.

"General Manager Lin, our Factory 2 mainly handles orders from individual domestic consumers. Our clients are mainly small and medium-sized manufacturers of consumer electronics in China," Jiang Jinhui explained patiently, having his subordinate hand him the reports.

"Hmm." Lin Xuedong glanced at the report and seemed to have a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"General Manager Jiang, how many employees does Factory 2 have?" Zeng Ziyan asked, puzzled.

"Assistant Zeng, our second factory has about 2500 employees in total. The total number of employees at Jebsen is less than 10,000." Jiang Jinhui said to Lin Xuedong with a troubled expression when talking about employees.

"President Lin, it's sometimes quite difficult for us in the South to recruit talent. It's not like twenty years ago, when the rise of industry and commerce in North China attracted all the talent there."

"Yes, people strive for higher goals. As long as Jiesheng becomes the dominant player in the South China semiconductor market, with high-quality technology and a good corporate image, talent and customers will naturally follow." This has always been Lin Xuedong's business philosophy, like a magnetic field effect. As long as one is strong and excellent enough, one will naturally have a unique attraction, and word of mouth will spread.

Jiang Jinhui sincerely admired him. "President Lin, what you say is absolutely right..."

“In the future, under the Lin family’s brand influence, I hope that Jebsen’s market share in the south can reach more than 5%.” Lin Xuedong’s voice was magnetic, and he spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, yet he could subtly control the situation.

"President Lin, your vision is truly remarkable; I admire you greatly!"

Meanwhile, in City S, Liu Sisi was extremely busy. She had spent nearly two hours in a meeting with Wang Tianlin and Zhou Zhichen that afternoon, integrating information about the 5G project.

"Lin's Construction has officially applied to the telecommunications operators in Hengzhou for a 5G network deployment license." Wang Tianlin looked at the documents in his hand, quite satisfied with the efficiency of his subordinates. "Tentatively, it will be in the two areas we selected."

"Is there an estimated start date?" Liu Sisi didn't look up; she was still processing data on her laptop.

“Normally, it takes two weeks to get a license. But given our relationship with the telecommunications operators, we’ve been urging them internally, and we hope it can be done in about ten days.”

"Thank you, Director Wang. After our meeting with Songze next week, we should also have a plan for the simulated city planning on the hillside."

Liu Sisi looked up at Zhou Zhichen. "Vice President Zhou, has Song Ke said that the vehicle model for the drills has been selected?"

"It's not finalized yet, but the design of our main control equipment has already begun, and the component suppliers are all preparing. Once the design is finalized, we can immediately begin making the initial mold, which is expected to be completed within six weeks," Gao Zhichen answered methodically.

"Yes, we must persevere and get the hardware in place within two months." Liu Sisi smiled.

Zhou Zhichen nodded slightly. "All that's left is to finalize the vehicle options."

As Zhou Zhichen left Wang Tianlin's office, he called out to her on the street, asking with concern, "Sisi, last night...did you get back to S City very late last night?"

Liu Sisi stopped in her tracks, turned to look at him, smiled, and teasingly asked, "Around 1 a.m., what? Did my appearance scare you?"

She was in a bad mood today. Xiaobai told her that Lin Xuedong had called her this morning, only saying he would message her on WeChat if he had something to say. But it's been a whole day, and she hasn't seen a single word from him.

Insufficient rest, coupled with menstrual discomfort and high-intensity work, left her looking haggard and depressed.

Zhou Zhichen scratched his head, unsure how to respond. "You look rather tired."

"Yes, Vice President Zhou, you're exhausted," she teased. "But... I'm doing this for your benefit, Vice President Zhou."

"Oh? What is it?" He stared wide-eyed, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Li Songze will be in the VIP section of some technology forum in S City next week... How about that? Pretty good friend, huh?" Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow; she really enjoyed teasing him.

Zhou Zhichen looked at him incredulously, his eyes shining. "Are you serious?"

"Don't believe me if you don't want to!" Liu Sisi retorted irritably, rolling her eyes at him before adding, "I'm going with you."

"Haha~, haha~. Sisi, you're really something!" The next moment, Zhou Zhichen laughed heartily. His eyebrows and eyes curved up, revealing a row of white teeth, his smile as bright as the sun.

"Look at you, do you have to be so happy?"

“Come on, I’ll see you off. This is the second time we’ve gone to his lecture together, after six years…”

"Stop! Don't talk nonsense." Liu Sisi glared at him, her eyes full of warning.

Zhou Zhichen fell silent, then said with a forced smile, "Thank you~".

"Alright, that's enough. Go back to work now." Liu Sisi waved to him and then stepped into the elevator.

Back in the office, Lin Lan sat there casually waiting for her.

"Why are you here?" Liu Sisi returned to her seat, put down what she was holding, and plopped down, feeling extremely tired.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Lin Lan mocked, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.

"It's probably discomfort during your period."

"I've never heard of this before. How about we leave work early and go home to rest?"

"This is a bit strange, maybe I've been too busy." She glanced at the laptop and documents she had just put down and smiled wryly. "I still have some time to work on. How can anyone be as lucky as Miss Lin?"

"Tch! You're so naive." Lin Lan scoffed, then replied seriously, "I thought since it's the weekend and I'm not home, I was going to ask you to help me pick out a dress after get off work."

"Hmm?" She blinked.

"There's a business association banquet at the Junlan Hotel tomorrow night, and my parents are insisting I go. It'll be the same old boring flirting games again. Ugh, so annoying!"

"Oh." Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and reopened her laptop.

"Oh?! That's it?" Lin Lan was a little annoyed at being ignored.

Liu Sisi looked up, glancing at her with interest. "Otherwise what?"

"You're just coming with me to pick out a dress, don't you want me to find a boyfriend soon?" Lin Lan crossed her arms and raised her chin.

"???" This rich girl's temper... Liu Sisi mimicked her actions, a smile playing on her lips. "Wait for me for another half hour."

"Alright! You're smart to know what's good for you. I'll treat you to sushi tonight." Before leaving, Lin Lan turned back and smiled, giving her a big wink.

Watching her playful retreating figure, Liu Sisi smiled and shook her head. Glancing at her phone on the table, she picked it up, opened WeChat, and saw that Lin Xuedong still hadn't replied. What was wrong with him?

Liu Sisi sighed deeply. He didn't reply, but that didn't mean she would just let him remain silent. So, she raised her finger and tapped a message on the screen.

"Are you still busy? I'm almost off work. I'm going to go with Lanlan to pick out a dress in a bit. Call me back when you have time, okay?"

After sending the message, she put down her phone and continued working. But her thoughts kept drifting back to the phone, though it remained silent the whole time.

Unwilling to give up, she picked it up again and looked at it from left to right. The battery was clearly full, the signal was strong, and the message had been sent successfully.

Throughout the day, her text messages to her colleagues were normal, so the problem wasn't with her; she was certain of that.

Growing increasingly agitated, she tossed her phone aside. She picked up her water glass to take a sip, only to find it empty.

At that moment, Liu Sisi felt incredibly frustrated. She slumped back into her office chair, took deep breaths for a while, and then reluctantly took her water cup to the break room...

Unfortunately, just as Liu Sisi left, her phone rang on her desk.

Lin Xuedong took a short break from the crowd; he had just signed the contract and was preparing to have dinner with the heads and representatives of various departments of the factory to celebrate.

The call went unanswered, and a factory representative came to urge him to return the call, so he hastily sent a message.

"I understand. I have another social engagement soon. It's not convenient to talk now, I'll call you back later."

Liu Sisi stared at the message on her phone, reading it over and over again. Ha! He's really busy. Busy with what?

It seems like he's obsessed with Zeng Ziyan all day long, even his reply to a text message is so perfunctory. The contrast with his usual caring attitude is just too stark!

The more she thought about it, the more upset and resentful she felt. If Lin Xuedong were standing in front of her right now, she would definitely punch him in the chest and interrogate him thoroughly about what he meant by this.

Unable to calm down, she drank the ice water she had just brought back in one gulp. A wave of coolness washed over her, and she simply threw down her phone, refusing to speak to him again!
