Chapter 604 One Hour, 300 Million! Gu Master—Chen Yansen!

"If the Anguo Association can restrict Mr. Daniel's personal freedom today, they can restrict our personal freedom tomorrow!"

"Science knows no borders!"

"Does the United States not even have the right to freely choose their work?"

"The people from the Anguo Association must get out of Idaho!"

On North American social media platforms, public opinion is almost unanimously against the caller.

The news of Daniel's illegal detention by the Anguo Association quickly rose to the top of the trending news list within just one hour, with related topics generating over 1000 million discussions.

It's important to understand that Daniel is just an architect in the field of memory chips. He has some scientific research significance, but his daily work has never involved him in core secrets.

But now, simply because he was going to work in China, he was forcibly taken away by the Anguo Association, which touched a nerve with the North American people's sensitivity to freedom and rights.

On the MIT campus, a computer science PhD student stood on a makeshift stage and said emotionally, "If researchers lose their freedom to choose their careers, wouldn't our academic environment be trampled on or even destroyed at will?"

The students in the audience responded enthusiastically and joined the protest.

The news quickly reached China, leaving netizens completely bewildered.

Who is Daniel Skinner?

"I checked, he is the director of mobile DRAM architecture at Micron, a top technical expert in the memory chip industry."

"I recognize every word in the news article, but I don't understand the meaning. Can someone translate it?"

"It seems that this foreigner wanted to come to China to work, but the Anguo Association of the United States did not allow it and arrested him instead."

"Could it be fake news? These self-media outlets make up nonsense all day long. Just a few days ago they said that Ma Wenteng was going to introduce his daughter to Chen Yansen, and that 'Crossfire' was the dowry."

Netizens gathered in the comments section, and their comments became increasingly outrageous.

Not long after, new news came from across the ocean: Daniel Skinner's new job was as the chief scientist of the memory chip division at Tiangong Technology.

"Did Brother Sen kidnap his family?"

"In fact, Brother Sen's true identity is the 37th generation successor of Miao Jiang. He is proficient in witchcraft and can cast spells on people from thousands of miles away."

"Bullshit! Brother Sen is clearly a true disciple of the Great Dao Sect!"

"Dude, have you been reading too many novels? Do you really think there are gods, immortals, demons, and monsters?"

"Whether gods exist is hard to say, but dragons certainly exist. I've been served by a dragon before."

On Chinese social media platforms, most of the comments are jokes and banter from netizens.

After all, they were unaware of Daniel Skinner's capabilities in the field of scientific research.

On the contrary, the bigwigs of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Association looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing the news.

They just can't understand it!

Why would an industry expert like Daniel Skinner give up his position as technical director at Micron and move to China instead?

"Could this kid really be able to use witchcraft?"

Hu Ruihui muttered to himself.

……

……

Bihu Yunxi, Villa No. 6.

"Master, do you know how to use Gu poison?"

Song Yuncheng sat on a small round stool and asked with a grin.

"What do you say?"

Chen Yansen rolled his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

Seeing this, Song Yuncheng smiled gently and stuffed a segment of orange into Chen Yansen's mouth.

“I think you definitely would. Xiong Li often says that if you were born in the Warring States period, there would be no Zhang Yi or Su Qin. You would definitely be a great strategist who would be remembered in history.”

Song Yuncheng said with certainty.

The reason is simple: if Chen Yansen wants to poach someone, even HR can't get them, but once he makes a move, he can usually reach an agreement on eight or nine out of ten cases.

"I didn't expect you to see through me. Guess what kind of curse I cast on you?"

After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he kept his mouth open, waiting for President Song to feed him.

As for Daniel Skinner, he didn't care too much; Lu Mingyan was just a backup option anyway.

"I'm so obedient, would Master really bear to cast a curse on me?"

Song Yuncheng blinked, stared intently at Chen Yansen, and asked, her hands still moving, as she stuffed another segment of orange into Chen Yansen's mouth.

"The Love Flower Gu must be administered eventually."

Chen Yansen said in a very serious tone.

“Master, even if you don’t use the Gu, I still like you.” Song Yuncheng put the last segment of orange into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel.

Chen Yansen smiled and didn't say anything, but secretly decided in his heart: to give Xiao Chengzi an extra half hour tonight.

at the same time.

Sansung SDI R&D Center, Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Lu Mingyan just received his resignation certificate, a copy of his resignation letter, a salary settlement certificate, and a work handover list, which means that from now on, he has no further connection with Shanxing.

In Korea, 99% of people dream of becoming a star before graduating from university.

Lu Mingyan was no exception.

After graduating from the microelectronics program at a national university, he overcame numerous obstacles to successfully join Sansung.

On his first day at work, his mother specially cooked him a bowl of beef noodles.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Over the years, he has risen from an ordinary R&D staff member to R&D director, handling one project after another, but he has never been able to enter the core level of the R&D center.

Korea is a country where seniority is highly valued, and even in the field of research and development, there are unseen rules and unspoken conventions to follow.

The people who get promoted the fastest are always the students or children of industry leaders, as well as members of the Li family in Shanxing.

Last month, his proposed "3D stacked memory heterogeneous integration" solution, which could have improved chip performance by 30%, was shelved by management due to "excessive investment and long payback period".

Coincidentally, just a few days ago, another R&D director came up with a similar technical solution.

Lu Mingyan was furious and wanted to smash the cup on his boss's head, but in the end he didn't dare to do it.

He knew in his heart that the other party was from the Li family.

Once they take action, Korea's semiconductor industry will have no place to stand.

The R&D director who was "on the same wavelength" with him was the dean of the Department of Electronic Engineering at Dongguk University.

Therefore, Chen Yansen made the phone call and then immediately submitted his resignation letter. The approval process was extremely fast, dozens of times faster than on the day he started working.

"Don't talk nonsense after you get out, otherwise, I have a thousand ways to make it impossible for you to stay in Korea."

The boss gave a meaningful warning as he stamped the document.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyan clenched the resignation documents in his hand.

His boss's threatening tone felt like a thorn in his heart, yet he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Having spent twenty years on Shanxing, he had long since figured out the rules here. Going against anyone associated with the Li family would only result in disgrace and ruin.

Every Korean can't escape three things in their life: death, taxes, and the mountain star.

This land is rotten!

The air near the headquarters of Shanxing is also nauseating.

Lu Mingyan took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He looked up at the sky, which was somewhat gloomy, but his heart gradually brightened.

She turned and walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, gave her mother's address, and leaned against the car window, gazing at the rapidly receding street scene outside.

The taxi weaved through the old streets of Seoul. The low-rise buildings outside the window, the convenience stores on the street corners, and the old men playing chess on the roadside were all familiar sights to Lu Mingyan.

Before long, we arrived at our destination.

Lu Mingyan grabbed his belongings, got out of the car, and walked to the small building at the end of the alley, covered in ivy, where he grew up.

After paying the fare, Lu Mingyan slowly walked deeper into the alley.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my mother standing in the yard, holding a broom and cleaning.

Hearing footsteps, Choi Mi-kyung looked up and, upon seeing her son, immediately smiled and asked, "Ming-yan, why did you suddenly come back?"

"Mom, I quit my job." Although Lu Mingyan was over forty, he was still very nervous when his mother told him about quitting.

After all, his ability to work on Shanxing gave his mother a lot of face.

"Are you unhappy with your work?"

Choi Mi-kyung put down the broom and raised her hand to stroke her son's hair.

The middle part is bald, and there are many gray hairs on both sides.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I've let you down," Lu Mingyan said, bowing.

"Silly child, you're an adult now, and Mom respects your decision." Choi Mi-kyung sighed softly, her face full of heartache.

"Mom, I plan to go to China. The founder of Senlian Capital invited me to join Tiangong Technology and offered me the position of senior chief engineer with a 50% increase in annual salary."

Once I'm settled, I'll take you on a trip to Qingdao and Zhangjiajie.

Lu Mingyan held his mother's hand, and the two walked into the house, talking softly.

Choi Mi-kyung stopped and carefully looked at her son, asking, "Going to China? Won't you be used to it?"

"So, before I leave, I'd like to have one more bowl of your beef noodles," Lu Mingyan said with a smile.

"Mom will cook you noodles right now." Choi Mi-kyung nodded repeatedly, her eyes slightly red.

“Mom, it only takes two or three hours to get back to Seoul from Luzhou in China, and I can come back to see you on weekends.”

Lu Mingyan explained.

"Damn it! You child, why didn't you say so earlier? I was just worried about you."

Choi Mi-kyung said irritably.
