Chairman Ren stood where he was, staring at Qin Jiang in shock.
He was utterly stunned.
"You're saying Ye Fan had already developed Flash Memory Technology and Under-Screen Camera Technology? Even Mobile Battery Technology was already complete?" Chairman Ren asked, drawing in a sharp breath.
"Yeah, it was developed ages ago. I thought you all knew already. So you didn't know?" Qin Jiang looked utterly innocent, as though he had been terribly wronged.
Chairman Ren's eye twitched.
Innocent, my ass?
What kind of expression was that?
Damn it, weren't they the innocent ones here? They knew absolutely nothing, yet he was making that face. Since they had already developed everything, why hadn't he said so sooner?
Lei Xiaojun and the others beside them barely dared to breathe, afraid that this was all an illusion.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Lei Xiaojun's mind was a mess. After holding it in for a long time, he finally voiced what everyone was thinking.
"Ah, the boss said you all knew, so I didn't mention it. When we bought those Camera Technology Companies, wasn't it precisely to develop in this direction? You didn't know?" Qin Jiang said with an expression that clearly declared he was in the right.
Chairman Ren's headache grew worse. He felt as though he might explode on the spot.
Lei Xiaojun and the other chairmen beside him were even more devastated.
They had the overwhelming urge to strangle this guy.
The Vice President standing beside Chairman Ren trembled inwardly upon hearing that. What was going on? Had Future Technology Crystal Company really developed those three heaven-defying technologies?
How was that possible?
Even for them, researching and developing such technology would take several years. Yet Future Technology Crystal Company had solved those difficult problems with ease.
He would not have believed it even if someone beat him to death.
But no matter how much he doubted it, he was not stupid enough to say it aloud.
He could only stand there and watch quietly.
Inwardly, he desperately prayed that they had not actually developed them, that it was all an illusion. Otherwise, Chairman Ren would definitely take it out on him.
Chairman Ren no longer wanted to talk to Qin Jiang. That guy was too infuriating.
Who could take this?
One sentence: I thought you knew.
How the hell were they supposed to know? They were not gods. How could they know their secrets?
Chairman Ren's steps became much brisker as he strode toward Ye Fan's hospital room.
Meanwhile, inside the room.
Ye Fan was lying in bed, typing furiously on his laptop keyboard. Dense lines of code filled the screen. Ordinary people could not understand that code, and even a Top Hacker would need a long time to fully grasp it.
After all, this was Future Technology Knowledge. How could people of this era possibly understand such code?
Both his hands worked at once.
His hands moved so quickly they left afterimages, his expression grave.
This code was for the Artificial Intelligence Core Calculation Method Program and more.
He needed to type out enough code for ten X Systems.
One X System had already cost Ye Fan more than seven days. Artificial Intelligence would take even longer.
The code also included code for a Quantum Computer. He was developing both technologies at the same time.
A Quantum Computer required little code; most of it was hardware. That hardware was precisely the kind of technology major conglomerates wanted to crack.
Yet Ye Fan already possessed it.
If Quantum Computers could one day be mass-produced, the entire world would enter an age of secrecy, and privacy would no longer be leaked.
Ye Fan was completely focused on typing.
Creak—
The door was pushed open, and Chairman Ren and the others flooded into the room.
"Chairman Ren..."
"Shh!"
Chairman Ren motioned for silence and said softly, "Ye Fan is busy. Let's wait a while!"
Qin Jiang's mouth twitched when he heard that. Wait until the boss was no longer busy? That would probably take several hours.
By then, the boss might only pause to drink some water before continuing. They might as well interrupt him now.
"Boss..." Just as Qin Jiang was about to speak, Chairman Ren quickly grabbed him. "Shut up. Your boss is working. Can't you see that? Why are you so tactless? Can't you wait a little?"
"We can wait!" Chairman Ren declared righteously. Lei Xiaojun and the others nodded in agreement.
Qin Jiang's mouth twitched even harder. His eyes widened as he stared at them in disbelief.
Fine, fine. Since they wanted to wait, then they could wait.
"Alright, then wait here. I have other matters to handle. There's still some work left unfinished on the boss's Warfire Hero!"
With that, Qin Jiang left.
Chairman Ren and the others were left quietly waiting in the hospital room.
The rapid clatter of Ye Fan's typing sounded like a torrential downpour, carrying a powerful rhythm.
A man working hard and concentrating was at his most handsome.
Chairman Ren and the others waited quietly, not daring to speak loudly. Even if they did, it would not matter, because Ye Fan seemed completely cut off from the outside world.
Even if someone spoke, he might not hear them. He was simply too absorbed.
An hour passed.
People kept coming in and out. What were they doing? Their nicotine cravings had kicked in. Who could endure this? Damn it, he simply would not stop.
No wonder he was a genius capable of creating the X System. He was so focused. If only all my employees were like this.
Chairman Ren sighed inwardly.
Two hours passed.
Wouldn't his hands get tired? Wasn't he thirsty? He was practically like a robot. He was too focused. This was not good.
Wait a little longer. Talking to someone this talented would only waste his time.
Three hours passed.
Chairman Ren could no longer sit still. Ye Fan maintained the same posture, staring at the keyboard as his typing speed grew faster and faster.
This was unbearable.
At this rate, even several more hours would not be enough.
"Where's Qin Jiang? Call Qin Jiang and tell that brat to come over!" While waiting for Ye Fan to finish working, Chairman Ren had thoroughly learned about every member of Future Technology Crystal Company.
There was no harm in understanding them.
"Chairman, the call went through!"
The president walked up to Chairman Ren as meekly as a child. He had not believed it at first, but now he did.
Ye Fan was a monster.
He was filled with admiration for Ye Fan.
The contempt in his heart had long since vanished.
"What did he say?" Chairman Ren asked, looking at the president.
"Boss... Qin Jiang said he was busy. He said Ye Fan would need several more hours before he stopped working!" the president said timidly.
"Why didn't he say so earlier?" Hearing that, Chairman Ren felt an even stronger urge to strangle Qin Jiang.
Damn it.
"Chairman, Qin Jiang said he had wanted to say so. He even planned to interrupt the boss's work, but you stopped him and would not let him speak. You said you could wait!"
