Boss, You Can Come Find Me If You're Bored at Night

"Don't ask why, just do as I say."

Chen Feng did not answer Li Xiaorou's question.

He couldn't very well say that it was because Yunnan Province was close to the Golden Triangle that he could travel quickly between the two places.

"Okay, boss." Li Xiaorou nodded and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"In addition, I'm planning to establish a new company that produces metallic paint, and I'm entrusting you with that as well," Chen Feng instructed.

Metallic paint is his next product, and it's also something the country urgently needs.

"Metallic paint?" Li Xiaorou was stunned.

Chen Feng's foray into a new industry is really a bit too much.

Although metallic paint contains the word "metal," it doesn't actually have much to do with metal.

Because the paint industry is a branch of the chemical industry.

The boss first ventured into the pharmaceutical industry, and now he's venturing into the paint industry.

For a moment, Li Xiaorou couldn't quite understand Chen Feng's business strategy.

"Just do as I say. By the way, how's the Yangyuan Jianti Pill going?" Chen Feng then asked.

He hadn't forgotten about Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals's Yangyuan Jianti Pills.

This is the product that truly makes money.

He had already shipped over a lot of raw materials.

"The tests have passed, and I'm planning to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce our product. Boss, would you like to come along?"

Li Xiaorou was still a little nervous.

After all, this was a press conference she was holding on behalf of Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

When Wound Healing No. 1 was first launched, Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals was virtually unknown in China, so there was no need to hold a press conference.

But things are different now. Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals has become a well-known enterprise in the domestic pharmaceutical industry thanks to the efficacy of its Wound Healing No. 1.

Of course, Li Xiaorou had to hold a press conference to promote her products.

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"You can go. You're not only the general manager of Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals now, but also the future general manager of Xingfeng Group."

Chen Feng naturally wouldn't show his face at a press conference.

"Ah!" Li Xiaorou stared blankly at Chen Feng.

She never expected that Chen Feng would actually want to make her the group's general manager!

"I've witnessed your performance at Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals over this period. You've proven your abilities, and you're the most suitable person to be the general manager of this group. I'm raising your annual salary to three million."

Chen Feng immediately increased Li Xiaorou's salary tenfold.

He wasn't a heartless capitalist; after all, Li Xiaorou now managed several of his businesses.

Given the current profitability of Xingfeng Group's various industries, offering Li Xiaorou an annual salary of three million is entirely feasible.

"Boss... it's me."

Li Xiaorou was at a loss for what to do, and even lost her ability to express herself.

The general manager of the group—that's no ordinary position.

This means that, apart from Chen Feng, she wields the most power in the entire group.

Her classmates who graduated with her are still working 996 jobs.

And he himself had already become the general manager of a group.

"Alright, no need for thanks. I hope you can prove yourself worthy of this position with your abilities," Chen Feng said seriously.

Li Xiaorou blushed and said:

"Boss, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

Seeing Li Xiaorou's flushed face and determined expression, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, you go back to work, I'm leaving now." With that, Chen Feng turned and left.

Li Xiaorou quickly followed behind Chen Feng.

"Boss, I'll take you there."

Throughout the journey, Li Xiaorou showered Chen Feng with concern and care.

"Boss, you need to take better care of yourself. The weather's getting colder soon, and you're still wearing such thin clothes."

"I'll have someone make you a few outfits later."

"Boss, if you need anything, just give me a call, and I'll take care of it for you."

"Boss, you can come find me if you're bored at night."

Li Xiaorou kept talking the whole way.

The factory workers all watched this scene, many of them unaware of who Chen Feng was.

But judging from the respectful manner of their own CEO, Mr. Li, one could guess that.

The man walking in front is very likely the big boss behind Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

Suddenly, many people turned their attention to Chen Feng.

Many employees were surprised to see that Chen Feng was so young.

Some of the female employees, in particular, couldn't take their eyes off it.

Chen Feng stopped at the entrance of Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals and turned to look at Li Xiaorou with a helpless expression:

"Alright, no need to see me off anymore. Go back now; there are so many people watching."

Li Xiaorou also noticed that many people around her were looking at her and Chen Feng.

She immediately stood up straight and adjusted her posture.

"Boss, take care."

Li Xiaorou's face flushed slightly; she had just suggested that Chen Feng come to see her that evening.

A sense of shame rose within her.

Chen Feng didn't say anything more and then left Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

After Chen Feng left, Li Xiaorou's assistant jogged over.

"Mr. Li, you're lying to me! The boss isn't married at all!"

The female assistant had overheard Li Xiaorou say that Chen Feng had gotten married, so she went to Xingfeng Mining to inquire about it.

It turned out that Chen Feng was not married at all; in fact, he didn't even have a girlfriend.

"This isn't lying. I just want you to focus on your work and stop thinking about all that nonsense. Get ready for tomorrow's press conference."

With Chen Feng gone, Li Xiaorou regained the air of a general manager.

"Oh." The female assistant pursed her lips, not daring to say anything more, and then followed Li Xiaorou back to Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

At Xingfeng Mining, Chen Feng appeared in Lin Wei's research room.

Lin Wei wasn't alone today; other experts were also in the research lab.

These people were all sent by Liu Mu last time, and they were all busy around the huge Spiritual Qi collector.

Upon seeing Chen Feng arrive, the group greeted Chen Feng.

Professor Chen!

Lin Wei glanced at Chen Feng but said nothing.

Given her relationship with Chen Feng, there was no need for her to make a special trip to greet him.

"Everyone's here. How's the research going?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Professor Zhou, one of the group, replied with a smile:

"This quantum device is only missing the chip; we've already mastered all the other technologies."

Professor Zhou and the others were unaware that this thing was a Spiritual Qi collector.

They were responsible for developing the other parts of the Spiritual Qi collector, but Lin Wei was still working on the core aspects on her own.

Chen Feng looked at the professors and experts and said earnestly:

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Although these individuals were not directly involved in the core work of the Spiritual Qi collector, they participated in most of the research and development.

The fact that the Spiritual Qi energy collector was developed so quickly is largely thanks to these people.

Chen Feng's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

Professor Zhou immediately shook his head:

"Contributing to the country isn't hard work at all. We're just waiting for the new metal to be developed. Professor Chen, how's your research going?"

Chen Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

But soon he remembered that Lin Wei had told these people before that she was in charge of another part of metal research and development.

"It'll be soon. The new metal will be developed in the next few days," Chen Feng replied.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou, Professor Yang, and the others all changed their expressions.

"Really? Just a few days!"

"Professor Chen, what are the properties of this new metal? Is it the same as the Blazing Sun Iron?"

"Are there any finished products available now?"

The experts were all incredibly excited, given how long they had been researching and developing this project.

We have never had access to any core secrets about the new metal.

Every day, they can only develop this kind of quantum-related equipment at Lin Wei's place.

Although Lin Wei said it was so that this thing could help with the research and development of new metals.

However, the experts remained filled with doubts.

They couldn't understand why any new metal would require quantum-related equipment.

But since Lin Wei was in charge of this project, they couldn't ask too many questions.

"You'll see when the time comes; you all contributed to the development of this new metal, and I'll add your names to future research lists."

Chen Feng knew very well that researchers cared about reputation.

Just like when the mushroom bomb was first developed, as long as the name appeared on the list of researchers, it was considered acceptable.

That would be something to bring honor to one's ancestors.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Professor Zhou and the others' eyes lit up.

"Professor Chen, really? You'd like to add our names?"

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"Of course, this is what you deserve; we may need your help in the future."

Chen Feng also planned to cultivate a good relationship with these experts so that he could directly call them over when he needed to develop anything related to cultivation.

Professor Zhou immediately grasped Chen Feng's hand and said excitedly:

"Professor Chen, please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need our help!"

The others also expressed their opinions.

Learning from the example of Blazing Sun Iron.

Everyone knew very well that the new metal Chen Feng had developed would definitely cause a major upheaval.

It would be a tremendous honor to have their names added to this research and development.

After chatting with Professor Zhou and the others for a while...

Chen Feng and Lin Wei went to the outside of the research room alone.

"How long until it's successfully developed?" Chen Feng asked.

Lin Wei spread her hands and said:

"Without chips, there's a waiting list for foundries. We're just missing the chips. Oh, and didn't you say you'd get me a few lithography machines? Where are they?"

"There's no way to get it for now. Is there any way to speed up the manufacturing process?" Chen Feng said helplessly.

He had previously considered acquiring some lithography machines, but he abandoned the idea, fearing the risk.

Chen Feng planned to wait until he reached at least the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining before considering this matter.

"Yes, I'll add more money. As long as the money is there, everything is negotiable."

Lin Wei didn't seem surprised that Chen Feng hadn't managed to get his hands on a lithography machine.

After all, this isn't something you can just get your hands on.

"I'll transfer another 50 million to you later. Don't be stingy with it; you can always pay several times the price."

In Chen Feng's view, anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal.

That large Spiritual Qi collector is what he needs most right now.

As his cultivation level increases, he will need more and more Spiritual Qi.

Without a large Spiritual Qi collector, it would take too long for Wang Hu and the others to collect Spiritual Qi using only this small one.

The collection of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is also very slow, and now it's difficult to buy them even if you have money.

According to Chen Feng's estimation, the spiritual liquid stored in his secret chamber could only allow him to break through one level at most.

"I'll contact the chip manufacturing company later. As long as I pay more, cutting in line shouldn't be a problem."

"By the way, what is that new metal you have?" Lin Wei asked Chen Feng curiously.

She was clearly very interested in the new metal that Chen Feng had mentioned earlier.

"Once I've developed it, I'll send you some for research."

Chen Feng knew Lin Wei's thoughts, of course; she simply wanted to conduct research.

"You understand me best." Lin Wei smiled.

Chen Feng changed the subject and said:

"There's something I wanted to tell you. I'm planning to relocate to Yunnan Province, and I'll also set up a separate research institute for you there. What do you think?"

The research lab at Xingfeng Mining is still too small.

Chen Feng plans to fund Lin Wei to set up a research institute specifically for studying matters related to cultivation.

"I'm fine with it, it's the same wherever I go. But let me make this clear, I have very high standards for research institutes."

Lin Wei agreed without even thinking.

Don't worry about that. Just let me know if you have any requests.

Although Chen Feng doesn't have much money on him right now.

But as long as invisible metallic paint and Yangyuan Jianti Pills appear on the market.

It will surely bring him enormous wealth.
