"All right, Explorer 1's launch event has now concluded perfectly. Everyone is welcome to try it out in our experience halls. In addition, Explorer 1 is now available for reservation orders, and shipments will be made in sequence according to reservation numbers after booking."

The launch event came to a successful close just like that. Its influence was not limited to the livestream rooms. Many people recorded videos of the event and posted them across major platforms, sparking nationwide discussion and almost immediately trending.

Seeing Corona Technology Company and Explorer 1 trending, Chen Feng was very satisfied. After it was over, he was backstage when he spoke to Liu Qiuya.

"You've worked hard. I'll have to trouble you with what comes next as well. We still need to apply for patents on this device, and there's a whole series of troublesome matters that need you to handle on our behalf. By the way, do you need more staff? You look like you can barely manage alone."

Liu Qiuya was excited as well. Seeing the attitudes of those self-media creators, she knew their product was definitely going to be a huge hit. As their product gained popularity, the company's valuation would keep rising. Once it went public, it would become an enormous company.

As the CEO of their company, Liu Qiuya had excellent prospects ahead of her. She had once believed that coming to Ning City would require a long time before she could achieve anything, break out on her own, and realize her value. She had never expected to encounter such an opportunity the moment she arrived.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Qiuya thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Indeed. Strictly speaking, our factory still isn't formal enough. We need an office building, along with more employees. The server equipment also needs maintenance, and there are many other things to deal with. I'm severely understaffed..."

As she said this, Liu Qiuya instinctively glanced at Chen Feng. To her, saying such things was somewhat risky. If Chen Feng left it to her, she would most likely bring in people she knew. Chen Feng might then think she was building up her own faction.

Yet Liu Qiuya could not feel at ease bringing in strangers either. That was the contradictory part.

But Chen Feng did not think that deeply about it. To him, the company's core was firmly in his hands. Whether it was the technology or Artificial Intelligence, the core remained under his control. Even if all the people Liu Qiuya brought in were acquaintances of hers, they would not be able to cause any trouble. Thus, Chen Feng had not considered that angle at all.

"Fine. Go find some suitable candidates. You can bring in anyone you know, as long as they can work for our company. But they must be capable. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to remove them."

Hearing this, Liu Qiuya nodded. She would never betray Chen Feng's trust in her.

Corona Technology Company's product launch event continued to gain momentum. Lin Xue quickly learned of the news. She knew Chen Feng was highly capable and that the team behind him could not be underestimated, but she had not expected him to appear in her sight again so soon.

"How could it be him?"

Looking at Chen Feng and learning that he was the Chief Technology Officer of a well-known technology company, Lin Xue could not help but sigh. Chen Feng was still very young, at most a sophomore in college, yet he had already become a Chief Technology Officer. It was truly astonishing.

Just as Cao Deming had thought, Lin Xue also knew she had to seize this opportunity. If she did, perhaps she might still have a chance to join Corona Technology Company, because she could already see its future. On the other hand, while she had received many orders from Chen Feng at her current company, Wang Chao had actually used his connections to pressure her.

Even the higher-ups had approached her several times, telling her not to go against Wang Chao. But she had not done anything at all. Wang Chao was the one constantly causing trouble for her.

Still, this company was quite good. At least a large portion of the management focused on their own work and did not concern themselves with such matters. It was merely the lower-level employees making petty trouble. They only wanted to release their first science fiction film.

But that did not stop Lin Xue from changing jobs. As long as she completed her task and received equivalent returns, if the situation turned unfavorable, she would switch jobs without a second word. As for whether Chen Feng and the others wanted her, that would depend on communicating with Chen Feng more over the coming period.

Explorer 1's influence had initially been limited to the tech world, but in the blink of an eye, it had spread into all walks of life. Even some WeChat Groups had begun forwarding articles about it.

Before long, Chen Feng's parents saw the news. They were visiting relatives when Chen Feng's image appeared on the television, leaving them utterly astonished.

Besides them, Chen Feng's aunt was also exceptionally surprised. There was no way any of them could mistake Chen Feng for someone else.

"Isn't that Chen Feng? Why is he on television?"

His aunt spoke to Chen Feng's father, who also found it unbelievable.

"Yes, that really is my son. What is going on? Why is he there? It looks like some kind of product launch event."

The more they watched, the more shocked they became. The person onstage was definitely Chen Feng, so they called him. When Chen Feng received the call, he explained the situation to his father.

"Mom, Dad, you didn't see wrong. That's me on television. I'm now the Chief Technology Officer of Corona Technology Company. I told you long ago that I invested my technology into a company started by my classmates, but neither of you believed me. You believe me now, right?"

Chen Feng was very proud when he mentioned this. His parents had never trusted him much, but now he wanted to see what else they had to say.

"You brat, you really have that kind of ability?"

"Of course. Could what's on television be fake?"

After hanging up, Chen Feng's parents could only explain to his aunt that their son was serving as a Chief Technology Officer at a company. Chen Feng's aunt was immediately extremely surprised.

Then his aunt glanced at her son playing Honor of Kings nearby, and her hand could not help reaching for her slipper.

Chen Feng had been full of vigor lately. Not only had his parents called him, even Li Zhengyang and the others had called. Li Zhengyang in particular simply could not believe it.
