"You know me?" Chen Mengchuan felt a bit awkward and leaned back slightly as such a beautiful stranger leaned in close.
"You're the big shot AI from the former Xia Science Academy's Xuanyuan project. Dr. Chen is listed as a consultant for many AI companies in Huaxia, we just couldn't find you. I didn't expect to run into you while waiting for a flight. KeDa has admired you for a long time. If you're not currently employed, KeDa would be very happy to have you! The minimum guaranteed salary would be double what you earned at Xia Science Academy. What do you say?" Zhao Wanyu was clearly surprised and delighted to meet Chen Mengchuan.
Zhao Wanyu's tightly clasped hand hadn't let go yet, feeling soft and delicate. Chen Mengchuan's old face flushed red. "Miss Zhao, could you please let go first?"
Zhao Wanyu's face turned slightly red. Just as she was about to let go, she suddenly realized that if she let such a talent like Chen Mengchuan slip through her fingers, her mentor, Sister Wang, who always looked out for her, would probably... curse her to death?
With that thought, Zhao Wanyu didn't immediately release his hand. Suppressing some of her emotions, she used a respectful tone and smiled playfully, "Dr. Chen, I'm afraid if I let go, you'll miss out on KeDa."
Chen Mengchuan smiled. "Miss Zhao, you're too kind. Please don't use the honorific 'you'. I can't accept it. KeDa's AI equipment manufacturing is top-notch in China; I've heard of your reputation for a long time too."
After hearing Chen Mengchuan's words, Zhao Wanyu smiled and let go of his hand. "Then it's settled. When would be convenient for you? We can discuss it in detail then."
Chen Mengchuan nodded politely.
After just a few sentences of conversation, Zhao Wanyu was clearly in a good mood. Her pretty face was like a lotus flower, full of fresh smiles, making Chen Mengchuan's gaze involuntarily drift up for a moment, his heart beating a little faster.
"Dr. Chen, are you going to Xi'an City for work or to visit friends and family?" Zhao Wanyu asked with a smile.
Chen Mengchuan replied politely, "I'm transiting through Xi'an."
Seeing that it was almost time to board, Zhao Wanyu calmly took out her business card and handed it to Chen Mengchuan. "Dr. Chen, this is my business card. I hope you'll leave me your phone number and add me on WeChat."
"Okay." Chen Mengchuan took the business card, gave his phone number, and added Zhao Wanyu as a friend on the messaging app.
After adding each other, boarding announcements began in the waiting lounge.
"It's time to board. Dr. Chen, we'll be in touch, how about that?" Zhao Wanyu's beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile.
"Alright." Chen Mengchuan nodded immediately.
The boarding crowd quickly separated them. Chen Mengchuan joined the queue for the plane, found his seat by the window, stowed his backpack in the overhead compartment, and sat down.
He didn't see Zhao Wanyu in the cabin, guessing she was in the later boarding group.
He stretched and leaned slightly towards the window, closing his eyes to rest.
More passengers continued to board. Before long, Chen Mengchuan felt someone sit down in the adjacent seat. Then, he smelled a faint, familiar fragrance.
He opened his eyes. Sitting next to him was Zhao Wanyu, a look of surprise and amusement on her face...
"Dr. Chen, what a coincidence," Zhao Wanyu said with a smile.
"Miss Zhao, you're my seatmate?" Chen Mengchuan agreed with the word "coincidence."
Zhao Wanyu held out her boarding pass...
In the Su City Industrial Park.
"Manager Jiang, I apologize for taking up your valuable time." Sun Zhongyong greeted the short, stout man with a smile.
"Hahaha, Manager Jiang, that's the only thing you're not good at, being too polite. It's an honor that you remembered old Jiang. This is quite a project you've got going on here. This floor alone must be 4000 square meters, right?" the stout man chuckled happily.
"Thank you for your kind words, Manager Jiang. It's about 4000 square meters. Let me show you around. The factory has three floors in total. The first floor is planned to be a computer cluster control room. Here are the design blueprints..." Sun Zhongyong quickly got down to business and started the introduction.
"Sun, to be honest, the renovation of the second and third floors isn't a problem. But for the computer cluster control room on the first floor, we don't have the conditions to set up the environment you're describing. However, I do know someone who handles this. They built the environment for the supercomputer room in Su Xi. If you trust me, outsource this to me, and I guarantee I'll get it done beautifully!" the stout man said.
"You're flattering me, Manager Jiang. Of course, I trust you. You should earn what you deserve; there's no reason to work for free. If I were unhappy about it, I'd change my name! Manager Jiang, then this project is in your hands." Sun Zhongyong said with a smile. Letting others make money was his basic principle; who would do a job beautifully without making money? That made no sense.
"The renovation of the second and third floors can be done. We guarantee completion within a month with overtime. However, for the supercomputer room on the first floor, let me make a call." The stout man opened his phone, found a number, and dialed.
After the call connected and a few pleasantries, the stout man got straight to the point.
"You're in the industrial park? ... If it's convenient, can you come over now? ... Alright, I'll send you the address, navigate here..."
The stout man hung up and said with a smile, "They have three projects in the industrial park, and half their branch company's staff is in the park. They'll be here soon."
Sun Zhongyong chatted with him about the renovation of the second and third floors. Before long, two thin men in suits entered the factory and greeted the stout man, "Old Jiang."
"Let me introduce you. This is the client, Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun, this is Engineer Cheng..." Manager Jiang introduced them and explained the situation.
"Mr. Sun, there shouldn't be any major issues. Judging from the design blueprints, the scale isn't particularly large. Including the reserved space for future expansion of units, it can be completed within a month," the engineer, surnamed Cheng, replied confidently after repeatedly confirming the design blueprints.
Sun Zhongyong was in high spirits after hearing his words. "That's great. Manager Jiang, Engineer Cheng, I'll entrust this project to you. Time waits for no one; the sooner we start, the better!"
