"That's too kind, Mr. He Feng. Speaking of which, how have you considered my previous proposal?"
"Are you willing to bring your company under the Sky Bow Conglomerate? The Municipal Creation Research Center would be a perfect fit for your development."
Wu Liang adjusted the balaclava on his head and looked back at He Feng.
Yao Shi had already given him a very detailed report regarding He Feng's company.
Although it was still in its developmental stages, in Yao Shi's words, its future was immeasurable.
However, He Feng's company had just established a foothold in this land, and due to its lack of experience, it could be swept away by any storm at any moment.
Yao Shi's invitation to He Feng wasn't entirely out of a desire to help him; rather, she was impressed by He Feng's creativity and potential for expansion.
Young Master, while He Feng's company is insignificant now, if it's allowed to grow, it will undoubtedly become a towering tree.
Wu Liang recalled his previous conversation with Yao Shi.
Yao Shi's judgment was excellent. Since she had said so, he had no reason to doubt it.
"The Municipal Creation Research Center, that's one of Yanghai City's... no... one of the three largest research institutes in the entire country..."
"Why would you want to take in a small company like mine? A company as unknown as ours can't bring you any income."
He Feng looked at the young man before him with a complex expression, completely unsure of what was going through the other's mind.
What benefit would taking in his company bring to this young man? It would only increase his expenses.
Even if all his company's technology were transferred to the other party, would such an influential force nationwide even care about his small-scale technology?
"This was my deputy's suggestion. She said your future is immeasurable."
Wu Liang shook his head. He was merely acting on the impulse to help someone through to the end.
As for the acquisition, it was Yao Shi's idea. Yao Shi naturally had her reasons for doing so.
"Miss Shi? Alright, since Miss Shi has said so, I can't really say much more."
"If you don't mind my small company, I can complete the handover procedures immediately. My research results will also be given to you."
"I only have one small request: I hope you can keep my employees. They are truly a group of excellent talents."
He Feng was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly. So it was Miss Shi's suggestion.
His company had a boundless future? Who could really say for sure?
But it didn't matter anymore. He had no intention of continuing his research, so keeping the company was meaningless.
Instead, giving the research results to someone else might offer a glimmer of hope, but that was unlikely.
How could such a large entity have the spare time to fiddle with his small inventions? They would probably shelve the company after taking it over, and it would never see the light of day again.
The only people he felt sorry for were the employees who had worked alongside him for so many years.
Their knowledge and skills were no weaker than those of the researchers in large corporations, but they had always hit walls because they couldn't find a patron.
Now that he had finally found a place for them to belong, he was about to cruelly abandon them.
"Huh? Mr. He Feng, I think you've misunderstood."
"I said 'take in,' not 'annex.' Your company won't change its name or be split up. It will simply be nominally brought under the Sky Bow Conglomerate."
"Neither your research results nor the researchers who have followed you for years will be touched by me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Liang smiled and patted He Feng on the back.
He Feng had misunderstood. He had no intention of annexing his company.
"Huh???"
He Feng was stunned by this, unable to react for a moment.
It would only be nominally brought under the Sky Bow Conglomerate? Meaning his company would still exist under his name?
"To put it simply, your company will receive support from the Sky Bow Conglomerate from now on."
"Your future research funding will be entirely handled by the Sky Bow Conglomerate, and dozens of researchers will be seconded from headquarters to assist you."
"And your company will only have one task: to continue research until success."
Wu Liang casually took out the folder the bodyguard had given him earlier, scanned it briefly, and handed it to He Feng.
This was the latest contract. As long as He Feng signed his name on it, all his company's financial and personnel matters would be handled by the Sky Bow Conglomerate from the moment he signed.
"This... how is this possible... Won't this be a one-sided contribution from you..."
He Feng's legs went weak, and he quickly grabbed the nearby wall to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
All of this had happened too suddenly. He had never even dreamed of such a thing.
Receiving funding support from the Sky Bow Conglomerate meant he would no longer have to run around begging for money for his research.
Nor would he have to rack his brain for equipment issues and work all night with his employees to maintain them.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to arrange and deploy his research from home?
"This is my investment in you, and also my trust in you, Mr. He Feng. You should understand what I mean."
Wu Liang handed the folder to He Feng and smiled faintly.
He would let He Feng see for himself the immeasurable future that Yao Shi spoke of…

Chapter 41: Quietly shooting, no noise~
"Why did you go this far..."
He Feng tightly gripped the folder in his hand, his expression filled with emotion.
This was only his first meeting with this young man, yet he had not only saved his father but also given him such a generous gift.
What was the reason behind it? Could it really be just a whim, as the other party claimed?
No, that was impossible. How could anyone be foolish enough to do something so thankless?
My deputy took a liking to your research and decided to fund it. I hope your research results won't be disappointing.
If it fails, then it can only be said that my deputy's judgment wasn't accurate.
Wu Liang shrugged his shoulders. He Feng's questions made him feel a bit helpless.
However, after all, He Feng was He Xue's father and an important talent valued by Yao Shi, so he naturally couldn't say too much.
"I never believed in the saying that good things fall from the sky, but you have completely shattered my preconceived notions."
"You are the benefactor of my life, He Feng. Please rest assured, I will not disappoint you or Miss Shi."
He Feng took a deep breath. Was this what they called a true patron…
He had chased his dreams for most of his life, and now he had finally met his benefactor.
"Since the business matters are settled, let's not be so formal between us."
Wu Liang was relieved when He Feng stopped asking questions.
He actually didn't like having too much contact with people in the business world, as one could never be sure of people's true intentions.
But He Feng seemed rather naive, like a good-natured person, not at all like a businessman.
It wasn't surprising that He Feng's research had been unsuccessful. After all, in the cutthroat business world, it was difficult to survive without a bit of cunning.
"Benefactor, could you tell me your name?"
"You have taken such good care of my He family, yet I don't even know your real name. Isn't that a bit too..."
He Feng hugged the documents tighter and focused his gaze on the young man.
He was a student from Huihuangxing Academy and held significant power within the Sky Bow Conglomerate.
For the sake of the He family, this person had gone to great lengths, yet He Feng didn't even know his benefactor's name.
"You can call me Mr. KFC, just like He Xue does. As for my real name, it's better that you don't know it."
Wu Liang scratched his cheek with some embarrassment.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with He Feng knowing his real name, but he needed to keep it from He Xue.
After all, He Xue's impression of him was extremely poor.
If He Xue knew that he was helping her so selflessly, she might think he was just trying to get close to her because he desired her.
After all, he had harassed He Xue in the past, and it was easy for her to associate it with inappropriate things.
"Alright, since you don't wish to tell me, I'll call you Mr. KFC too."
He Feng smiled with a hint of disappointment. It was truly a pity that he couldn't know his benefactor's real name.
However, perhaps the other party had some unspeakable secret that made him not want him to know.
"Alright, let's go in together and see Mr. He Jingao."
Wu Liang glanced at Yao Shi, who was chatting with He Xue, and raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised.
Normally, Yao Shi didn't interact much with anyone other than himself, let alone converse harmoniously with others like this.
Could it be that Yao Shi's preference was for beautiful girls? (Misunderstanding)

In the northern corner of the opulent room stood a massive dark bookshelf. Black quartz panels adhered to the corner, reflecting a faint glow.
Deep red cashmere carpets covered the entire floor. The room had a Western-style arched design, and a giant crystal chandelier hung from the pristine white ceiling.
It was less like a room and more like a royal hall.
Luxury was the only word to describe the room's layout and decor.
A middle-aged man, sitting alone on a red leather sofa, pushed up his glasses and flipped through a book.
His face, carved like a blade, was stern and severe. Beneath his sharp brows, his piercing eyes were like a pool of still water.
Snap
Suddenly, the man closed the book in his hands and took off his glasses, placing them on the rosewood tabletop beside him.
Stirring the steaming coffee on the table with a spoon, the man gradually shifted his gaze to the doorway.
"Come in."
He said it calmly, as if he had already expected the knock on the door to sound in the next second.
His deep, resonant voice was exceptionally powerful, like an ancient bell capable of shaking the soul.
"You always guess so accurately."
Even a simple long dress could outline Mu Xinrou's perfectly maintained figure.
Her full, rounded breasts were gently supported by two pieces of gossamer silk, and a thin, embroidered vine pattern clung to her snow-white shoulders.
She walked over to the man, her long legs moving gracefully, the satin sash at her waist flowing like fine silk.
Lifting the hem of her skirt with her delicate hand, Mu Xinrou slipped off her high heels and lay down, resting her head on the man's shoulder.
"You've worked hard, Xinrou."
A rare hint of gentleness appeared on the man's usually cold face.
He reached out, embracing the beauty in his arms and whispering softly into her shoulder...
Chapter 42: Your Father Thinks You're Useless
After a period of intimacy, Wu Xingsheng gently covered Mu Xinrou's delicate body with the plush blanket beside him.
Gazing at Mu Xinrou, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, he smiled faintly and dotingly pinched her cheek.
