Did the world end today?

Chapter 40 The Observer Effect

The next morning, just as he had told Jiang Xingye, Lin Xu slept until he naturally woke up.

The first thing I do after getting up is take out my phone to check unread messages.

After swiping away a large number of useless app notifications, Lin Xu opened the WeChat interface.

The first message he saw left him completely dumbfounded.

"Lin Xu, the proposal for our new company has been basically finalized."

"Based on discussions within the company's management, we have put forward two plans."

"The first option is what I discussed before: to start a new company from scratch and re-recruit staff, procure equipment and raw materials."

"Doing it this way is relatively safer, and if you personally oversee the whole process, the management will be cleaner."

"But the downside is that we may need to spend a lot of time setting up the new company."

"Conservatively speaking, it will take about 3 to 4 months."

"As for the second option, we can directly acquire a chemical fiber plant."

"The company will fund the acquisition, and the equity distribution will remain unchanged as we previously agreed."

“We can directly take over the equipment and personnel from existing companies. We only need to supplement the missing equipment, and then we can start construction immediately.”

"Under this plan, the entire cold start cycle can be compressed to less than a week."

"Which option do you think is more suitable?"

Which option is more suitable?
Without a doubt, it's the second one.

Lin Xu needs speed now; three or four months is frighteningly slow.

As for the potential security issues that the second option might bring.
Actually, as long as the original management team is completely removed, there won't be too much of a problem.

It's not difficult at all!

Thinking of this, Lin Xu decisively typed a reply:

"Boss, let's use the second plan then."

"Do we already have any targets in mind?"

After sending the message, he immediately exited the interface, intending to reply to Jiang Xingye's message first. After all, in his opinion, a boss like Ren Jian shouldn't be staring at his phone.

But before he could even put his hands back on the keyboard, Ren Jian's message came through.

"some."

“We have selected a poorly managed chemical fiber plant that is seeking restructuring.”

"All conditions are met. If we push forward with all our might, we can enter the negotiation stage this afternoon."

"no problem."

Lin Xu typed again and asked:

"What factory?"

"Donghua Chemical Fiber Factory".

???

Lin Xu's hand froze in place.

Donghua Chemical Fiber Factory?!

The Donghua Chemical Fiber Factory that I stormed in with my skull-themed gang, and whose security system was completely destroyed?
Are you kidding me? !

How did they obtain their patents?
At this moment, Lin Xu suddenly felt a strong sense of "unreality".

The real world and the world of the bracelet have become a closed loop.

The problem is that the "result" in the world of smart bracelets appears before the "process" in the real world!
What the hell is this called?
The observer effect?

Donghua Chemical Fiber Plant was like that photon that passed through the slit, foreseeing in advance whether it would change the timeline, and then laying out the outcome in advance according to the timeline it was about to change.

Then wouldn't one's own "subjective will" be able to directly change the future?

No, it's impossible.

According to known information, in the world of wristbands, Donghua Chemical Fiber Plant has not been acquired by any other capital.

It was only after the two sets of materials were made public that it managed to defy fate and change its destiny.

This is most likely just a coincidence.

Ren Jian chose this company simply because it was an excellent target in itself.

Lin Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.

In that brief moment, he truly felt a strong sense of fear.

Fortunately, things did not get out of control.
-
But then again.

If Sky Dome Technology completes its acquisition of Donghua Chemical Fiber now, what will the world be like when I re-enter the bracelet world?

Lin Xu touched the bracelet.

He even wanted to check the bracelet right away.

But then I thought, the acquisition hasn't been finalized yet, so even if we get involved, nothing will change. Let's finalize the acquisition first.

Lin Xu replied to Ren Jian with the message, and the latter immediately sent over the afternoon's meeting schedule, asking Lin Xu to decide whether to participate.

Lin Xu glanced at the meeting and saw that the content mainly focused on the consideration and had not yet involved anything that required his participation. So he decisively let go and let Ren Jian make his own decisions.

After all, the acquisition money wasn't paid by them. If they were to interfere in this aspect as well, it would be a real disrespect to the owner of Sky Dome Technology.
After finally replying to Ren Jian's message, Lin Xuzhen planned to reply to Jiang Xingye, but before he could even do so, Jiang Xingye called directly.

"Dude, are you going or not?"

"Sleeping in until you naturally wake up isn't like this! Look at the time, it's already 10:30!"

Jiang Xingye's tone revealed a hint of impatience, and Lin Xu quickly replied:

"It'll be ready soon—come downstairs and wait for me in five minutes!"

"hurry up!"

Jiang Xingye slammed down the phone. Lin Xu quickly got up, changed his clothes, grabbed his phone, and headed out the door.

Just before leaving, he suddenly saw the water cup that Jiang Xingye had left with him, so he picked it up and slung it over his shoulder.

I went straight to the elevator and went downstairs. When the elevator doors opened, Jiang Xingye was already sitting on the sofa in the apartment lobby, waiting for me.

"You're here quite early."

Lin Xu stepped forward.

Jiang Xingye was wearing light makeup and her hair was obviously styled carefully. Although it looked like she had simply tied her hair into a ponytail, the loose strands of hair at her temples revealed a hint of cunning.

She was wearing a tracksuit, and when she stood up, her toes touched the ground lightly, her legs stretched straight.

Wow, that's brimming with youthful energy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this outfit a nostalgic trip back to high school?"

"Turning back at you!"

Jiang Xingye glared at Lin Xu.

"Brother, I've been messaging you for an hour!"

Have you ever seen a guy ask a girl out and make her wait for an hour?

"I won't take the blame for this."

Lin Xu shrugged.

"You said yourself that you would sleep until you naturally wake up!"

"I fucking..."

Jiang Xingye had nothing to say.

"Never mind. Let's go."

"You really slept until now and only just woke up?"

"No."

Lin Xu quickly explained:
"I had gotten up a long time ago and chatted with my boss about the new company."

"They've already decided on a target, and we're going to discuss the acquisition this afternoon."

"so."

Jiang Xingye didn't ask any further questions, but his gaze towards Lin Xu had softened somewhat.

That's a somewhat acceptable reason, isn't it?

If Lin Xu really did sleep through the night without a care in the world, then she really needs to teach him a lesson on how to get along with girls.

As Lin Xu walked out of the apartment building, the car he had called arrived.

He walked to the side and opened the car door for Jiang Xingye. Jiang Xingye stepped in and immediately noticed the water cup hanging on Lin Xu's shoulder.

"Oh huh?"

Jiang Xingye's eyes lit up.

"You're quite thoughtful, you even remembered to bring my water bottle."

"That is."

Lin Xu followed closely behind and got into the car. Jiang Xingye reached out his hand and said:
"give it to me."

"Here."

Lin Xu took the water glass and handed it to Jiang Xingye, who unscrewed the cap and tilted his head back.

next second.

She stared at Lin Xu in disbelief.

"no??"

"Dude, are you brain-dead?!"

"Empty?!?"
