The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"Damn it."

Chen Zhi couldn't hold back and swore.

"Every time Baidu launches a new project, they're always late to the party, and now they're targeting me."

Dai Dama stood by the bed with his laptop in his arms, shrinking back and not daring to say a word.

"That's disgusting," Chen Zhi sneered.

"Mr. Chen, what do we do now?"

"Should we have the legal department send a lawyer's letter? Or should we hire a PR firm to buy trending topics to counter their claims?"

"What's the point of sending a lawyer's letter?" Chen Zhi waved his hand, rejecting the idea outright. "Buying trending topics is even less necessary. We can't compete with them in burning money to generate traffic. They just want to wear us down on their home turf."

Dai Da Mai became anxious.

"So we're just going to sit idly by? Moss's new user data has already plummeted in the last few days."

"Who said we were just watching?" Chen Zhi stroked his chin. "How's the system development progressing?"

Dai Da-mai quickly pulled up an internal progress chart.

"The lightweight model deployed on the device side has been successfully implemented. Meizu's hardware team is working very hard, and the underlying API interfaces have been fully integrated with Moss. The smoothness of the engineering sample has exceeded our expectations, and Moss has completely taken over the phone's underlying system logic."

"That's about it." Chen Zhi nodded.

He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Dai Dama.

"Shouldn't the press conference be moved up?"

Dai Dama was stunned.

"Ahead of schedule? Wasn't it originally scheduled for a month later? The software testing isn't even finished yet."

"We can't wait another month," Chen Zhi said quickly. "If we don't fight back now, a large chunk of the market share we've built up will be snatched away."

Chen Zhi looked at Dai Da Mao and gave the order.

"Tell Huang Zhang right away that we'll hold a press conference in two weeks."

"Half a month?!" Dai Da's gaze fell on Chen Zhi's left leg dangling in mid-air and his upper body wrapped in bandages. "Brother Zhi, the time is too rushed! And you looking like this... how are you going to go on stage and give a PowerPoint presentation?"

"Even if I'm in a wheelchair, I have to go up and finish this performance."

Chen Zhi gritted his teeth and gave orders to Dai Da.

"Take your phone and call Huang Zhang directly on speakerphone."

Dai Dama didn't dare to delay and took out his phone to dial Huang Zhang's number.

The call rang for about ten seconds before being answered.

The noise of machinery could be heard from the other end, and Huang Zhang's voice was filled with exhaustion.

"Acting Manager? What is it? Speak quickly, I'm keeping an eye on the product line right now."

"Old Huang, it's me," Chen Zhi called out into the phone.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Huang Zhang's voice came through.

"Mr. Chen? Aren't you in Beijing? I heard you were hospitalized?"

"It was just a minor mishap, nothing serious." Chen Zhi said casually. "Old Huang, can we speed up the hardware development? I'm planning to move the press conference forward by two weeks."

"Are you crazy?"

"Half a month? Do you think this is some kind of toy assembly project? The outer shell mold has just been finalized, and you expect me to deliver a physical product for a launch event in half a month?"

"We don't need a lot of stock, just two hundred engineering samples for the media to review will do." Chen Zhi completely ignored Huang Zhang's protest. "We've already got the software sorted out, Lao Huang. Baidu has already started targeting us, we don't have time to proceed step by step."

Huang Zhang remained silent for a long time.

"Half a month." Huang Zhang exhaled a smoke ring, his voice hoarse. "In all my years in this industry, I've never fought such a hasty battle. I can rush out two hundred engineering machines for you, but if the press conference is a disaster, I won't take the blame."

"Don't worry, I'll handle the press conference."

The phone hangs up.

The ward door was pushed open at the same time.

Pei Ningxue walked in, holding a stack of payment receipts. She paused when she heard Chen Zhi's words and her gaze fell on Chen Zhi's left leg, which was in a cast.

"Going to a press conference in a wheelchair?" Pei Ningxue walked to the bedside and slammed the receipt on the bedside table. "President Chen is truly determined despite his disability. The doctor said your leg needs at least three months of rest. Are you planning to hold a memorial service on stage for the press conference in two weeks?"

Upon seeing this, Dai Dama immediately closed his laptop and tucked it under his arm.

"Um... Brother Zhi, President Pei, I need to go back to the company to coordinate with the hardware department. I have a lot of things to do there, so I'll be going now!"

After saying that, Dai Dama didn't give Chen Zhi a chance to stay and ran out of the ward in a flash.

The ward fell silent again.

Pei Ningxue pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing her arms over her chest, and coldly looked at Chen Zhi.

"Qiandu made a move?" she asked.

Although she had made a fuss this morning about withdrawing her shares and leaving the country, she was, after all, the CFO of Deep Space Technology and was extremely sensitive to any developments in the industry. Dai Da Mai had rushed in just now, and combined with the content of Chen Zhi's phone call, she understood everything after a little thought.

"Yes." Chen Zhi didn't hide anything.

"So you're going to hold a press conference earlier than planned?"

"Smart." Chen Zhi raised his right thumb, which wasn't on an IV drip. "President Pei is wise and capable."

"Shut up." Pei Ningxue glared at him, but her ears burned. "Your physical condition simply doesn't allow you to work at such a high intensity. The press conference can be postponed, or we can have Dai Dama speak."

"No way." Chen Zhi shook his head. "I have to attend this press conference in person. This is a crucial moment for Moss to transform from a software tool into an ecosystem brain."

"Moreover, my identity itself is a topic of discussion: a net worth of billions at the age of 19."

He looked at Pei Ningxue, his tone carrying a hint of roguishness.

"Besides, I promised you I'd make the company a billion-dollar company within a year. What if my wife leaves me if I don't work hard?"

Pei Ningxue turned her face away, not wanting to see his smug expression.

Even if you die on this stage, I won't shed a single tear.

"That's a real shame." Chen Zhi sighed deliberately. "I even had a big surprise in mind for the press conference, planning to confess my feelings to our Deep Space Technology's CFO in front of the entire internet."

Pei Ningxue smiled at him, "I don't mind, Mr. Chen, do you dare?"

Chen Zhi stopped being naughty and rolled over, which aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace again.

Seeing him sweating profusely from the pain, Pei Ningxue couldn't help but reach out and tuck the blanket around him.

"You just lie there and don't cause me any more trouble."

Pei Ningxue turned and walked out of the ward.

Chen Zhi looked at the closed door and stroked his chin with his right hand.

half a month.

Chen Zhi picked up his phone from beside his pillow, scrolled through his contacts, and dialed a number.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang." Chen Zhi chuckled into the phone, "Is Musical Mobility hitting a bottleneck with monetization lately? I have something new here, wanna go big?"
