After a three-hour drive, Chen Mengchuan and Zhao Wanyu rushed to Golmud Airport and caught a flight to Xi'an City.

It was already near dusk when they emerged from the airport.

Chen Mengchuan sensitively sensed that Zhao Wanyu seemed to have changed a bit. On the plane, he had immersed himself in Chisako's module design, and Zhao Wanyu, who sat beside him, had not disturbed him even once; the only time she stood up was to pour a glass of orange juice for him. Then she also opened her own laptop and continuously worked on something.

After the plane landed in Xi'an City, they went straight to the pre-booked airport business hotel.

The next morning, Chen Mengchuan was awakened by a phone call from Sun Zhongyong.

"Mengchuan, the two down payments from Guo Siming and Xia Science Academy have both been transferred over, totaling 10.27 million," Sun Zhongyong began.

These two sums of money truly shocked Sun Zhongyong. Having run Dell for many years, although his annual turnover throughout Su Province reached 200 to 300 million, selling hardware was not like software. Today's gross profit was offensively low, and when calculated at the end of the year, the net profit was only 6 to 8 percent. After stock dividends were distributed, what might actually end up in Sun Zhongyong's own hands this year might not even be 10 million.

Moreover, the immense competition inherent in running a hardware business was beyond what an outsider could see. Not only were there various hardware brands, but sometimes he even had to fight for orders with Dell's own headquarters sales. As the downstream party facing delayed schedules, withheld payments, and uncollectible receivables, the bitterness and helplessness within it were too disheartening to tell outsiders.

Yet now, some of Chen Mengchuan's code and software tests could actually make Xia Science Academy, the upstream client, willingly fork over tens of millions to pay for it, while treating the downstream party like an esteemed ancestor...

"I arrived in Xi'an City yesterday, and today's flight takes me back to Huhai. I might stay in Huhai for a few days. If the itinerary goes smoothly, I'll return to Su City once I'm done in Huhai. As for Guo Siming, since the money has already been paid, I'll contact him and make the delivery to him. You don't have to worry," Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

"All right, take care. I've been keeping an eye on the renovation at the industrial park these past few days. I've run around a lot for some of the tech policies in the park recently and found a few good tax exemptions."

Chen Mengchuan smiled and replied, "Thanks for the hard work, Brother Sun. Once I'm back, I'll play host and treat you to a good meal to reward you."

"Forget the meal. I've been eating and drinking with this director and that director at the park these past few days, and it's been quite a toss-up. The best thing is for you to come back safe and sound early." Sun Zhongyong nagged a few more times before hanging up the phone.

Chen Mengchuan put away his phone and prepared to get out of bed. He lifted the quilt, got up, and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. When he finished, he sat down in front of the computer and called Guo Siming.

"Good morning, Brother Chuan. Please give your instructions, Brother Chuan," Guo Siming answered very quickly.

Ignoring Guo Siming's enthusiasm, he logged into Xia Science Academy's server through the port sent by Guo Siming, and the Xuan Yuan system reappeared before his eyes. He quickly reviewed the entire system again, somewhat amazed that such a backward artificial intelligence system was already among the most cutting-edge apex in the global village at present.

Shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, Chen Mengchuan immersed his mind and rapidly began to weed out one problem after another, while simultaneously making minor deletions and modifications to content that he deemed completely useless, filling in new nodes.

At this moment in Xia Science Academy in Beijing, twenty or thirty people in the computer room were staring dumbfounded at the many new pieces of information and structures on the big screen. These were all commands issued one by one by Chen Mengchuan. Everyone present could roughly understand a little bit of these commands, but the waterfall-like screen-refresh speed and the fluent command structure made everyone hold their breath and concentrate all their attention, trying to keep up with the rhythm on the screen.

At this time, not a single person dared to speak out or disturb others. Guo Siming's eyes were even red as he watched the data constantly refreshing on the screen. A few days ago, after coming into contact with a portion of the neural network algorithm structure sent by Chen Mengchuan, he had fallen into obsessive research, so at this moment, he could understand most of Chen Mengchuan's content on the screen. Yet the more he understood, the more shocked he was by Chen Mengchuan's material.

Two hours later, there was no new data coming out on the screen. The Xuan Yuan system under this test environment was rebooted, and the green nodes representing success lit up one by one, finally reaching 100 percent progress. Everyone in the entire computer room burst into cheers.

"Team Leader Guo, where on earth did you invite this master from? It's simply miraculous. I can't believe there is such a master," a member of the AI team asked Guo Siming.

Guo Siming rolled his eyes. "Talk less, do more. Everyone immediately copy all the logs from just now. Every single one of you must understand and familiarize yourselves with all the command structures inside. Think about anything you don't understand first, and if you still haven't figured it out, bring your thoughts and come ask me! Understood?"

"Understood!" everyone chorused.

After dealing with the matter of Xuan Yuan, Chen Mengchuan packed the complete first-stage artificial intelligence neural algorithm into an encrypted archive, sent it to Guo Siming, and hinted in the email at the specific encryption and decryption methods unique to Xia Science Academy.

After finishing these tasks, he released his hands from the keyboard, closed his eyes, twisted his neck, and stretched his shoulders.

A knock on the door sounded, and Chen Mengchuan went to open it.

Zhao Wanyu stood at the doorway carrying a lot of breakfast, and smiled as she said, "I saw that you never came to the dining hall, guessing that you were probably still sleeping, so I brought you some breakfast."

"Thank you. You got up quite early yourself, though I was busy with some work matters." Chen Mengchuan smiled as he took the breakfast and opened the door wider for Zhao Wanyu to step inside.

"Brother Chuan, I've arranged the interviews for tomorrow morning, and there will be three rounds. First is my boss, HR Personnel Director Sister Wang, followed by individual interviews with Manager Xu and Manager Toni. If you really intend to poach talents from Ke Da, you'll have to rely on your own ability," Zhao Wanyu smiled and said directly.

"Haha, Wanyu, seriously, I feel like the one who should be poached the most is you. Name whatever salary you want, how about it?" Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"Really? All right then, the moment I get back I'll hand in my resignation application to our Sister Wang." Zhao Wanyu laughed heartily.
