As far as the leader was concerned, he had never seen such an exquisite model gun before. He was a boy at heart too; although he was older, he still loved these things, so he kept the model gun by his side.
"Since you want to see it for yourself, take a look at this model gun."
Wang Chao held the model gun in his hand and examined it repeatedly. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became. Compared with this, the models he had brought before looked like they had been molded from clay, while this one looked as though it had been made by a precision CNC machine.
"How could there be such a perfect model? Where did it come from?"
"It was made by a team Lin Xue found."
The moment he heard it was Lin Xue's team, Wang Chao felt his head buzz. He had never imagined that Lin Xue had found such a terrifying team. They were definitely world-class.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. What your former team took half a month to make, they only need one week to produce."
Their efficiency had more than doubled. That was why the leader had decided that, even if they had to pay a penalty for breach of contract, they would cut ties with Wang Chao's team and win over Lin Xue's team instead.
After leaving the office, Wang Chao looked completely dazed. One of his subordinates came over and asked curiously.
"Brother Chao, how did it go? Is the leader assigning us targets again and telling us to bring in orders?"
Seeing his lackey trying to flatter him, Wang Chao immediately flew into a rage and shouted at him.
"What the hell do you know? We've already terminated our relationship with the Project Department. The leader would rather pay a penalty than let us continue this contract."
Upon hearing that, the man was instantly dumbfounded. He had no idea what had happened. As Wang Chao's lackey, if Wang Chao got promoted, he would naturally rise with him.
But he had never expected Wang Chao to crash and burn so quickly.
"Investigate! You must investigate! Find out exactly what kind of team that woman Lin Xue has behind her. Whatever terms she can offer, I can offer too. I can even offer more."
Wang Chao was less capable than Lin Xue, yet they held the same position and rank. That was only because he had a relative who was a leader within the company.
That was why he could obtain so much internal information and offer better terms than Lin Xue. He had to find out exactly who the team behind Lin Xue was.
As for Chen Feng, he had no idea that he had become such a hot commodity. His hands were nearly cramping from counting money. Over the past month, he had received countless orders. Although most of them were not as valuable as Bao'er Jie's, some were ten times more valuable than hers, or even more.
That also meant more money. His savings had now reached 400,000. In just one month, he had earned 300,000.
The key was that the cost of those 300,000 was only a few hundred or a thousand at most. It was simply outrageous. For Chen Feng, the money had come far too quickly.
But all of that money had come through legitimate channels, so he felt no psychological burden. Orders kept increasing, and his money would only continue to grow.
The same was true for Lin Xue. She had now gained the company's full support, and the company's film project had been put back into its regular schedule. Any kind of scene could be built, and with Chen Feng's detailed models, post-production had become much easier as well.
Thus, the company directly announced that its new film would be released in half a year, opening the first year of Chinese science fiction. They also used Chen Fan's models to create the first promotional video.
The promotional video caused a huge reaction online. Scenes that people had previously only been able to see in Hollywood blockbusters had appeared in a trailer from a Chinese film company.
As a result, many netizens did not believe that it had been produced by Ning City Culture Co., Ltd., because Ning City Culture Co., Ltd. had stated that all the special effects had been created by Chinese people themselves.
Thus, people online began discussing it extensively.
"I absolutely don't believe Ning City Culture made this themselves. Look, there aren't even any credits. We don't know who the effects team is, so it was definitely outsourced to a foreign company."
"Yeah, that's true. China's technical standards are still far behind foreign professional standards."
There were many skeptical voices online, which put Lin Xue under considerable pressure. The company therefore gave her a task: she had to find out the name of the special effects company behind Chen Feng.
So Lin Xue called Chen Feng and asked him to meet her again at the same Coffee Shop as last time.
After meeting Lin Xue, Chen Feng found it very strange, because her expression was rather serious.
"Did something happen? Is there a problem with the model I made? That shouldn't be possible."
"That's not the issue."
"Then what is?"
Faced with Chen Feng's question, Lin Xue did not know how to answer. She had asked him before for the name of the team behind him, but he had not answered. Chen Feng had directly stated that it was inconvenient for him to reveal his team's name, but this time she had no other choice.
"It's like this, Chen Feng. You saw that promotional video online, right? The science-fiction trailer produced by Ning City Culture Co., Ltd."
Of course Chen Feng had seen it. After all, it had been made using his models. With only some post-production effects added, it had already achieved the feel of a blockbuster.
"Of course I saw it. It completely stunned me. I never expected my models to look so incredible after special effects were added."
The models in it, even the costumes, had all been made by Chen Feng. Materials for things like clothes could be made as well. That was the power of the 3D Printer.
"You saw all the doubts online too, didn't you?"
After hearing Lin Xue's words, Chen Feng nodded. Of course he had seen some of the skeptical comments online. He even felt that the most upvoted ones were utterly ridiculous.
"Yeah. Those people just can't stand seeing China do well. We can ignore them completely."
But Lin Xue shook her head.
"Some things can't simply be ignored because we want to ignore them. If this continues, it could even affect our company's stock. Once our reputation is damaged, the stock will naturally fall as well, leading to a whole series of troublesome issues. So we have to come forward and refute the rumors. That means we need to know the name of the team behind you. Of course, we want to credit the team behind this trailer."
