One Yuan First Recharge: I'm Actually the Boss Behind a Fortune 500 Company

After saying this, she released the voice message and waited anxiously for a reply.

About a minute later, Zhou Ziheng's text message arrived:

"Director Yu, may I ask you a question?"

Yu Xinxin quickly replied, "Go ahead and ask."

"Who exactly is your boss? And what exactly is the core technology he's talking about?"

Yu Xinxin paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I can't reveal too much about our boss's identity."

But he is indeed very capable. Several projects that our company worked on before were based on his solutions, and the final results were all excellent.

As for the specific direction of the core technology, I really don't understand technology very well, so I can't explain it clearly.

But I can tell you that our boss has a complete chip design plan—in this direction.

After the message was sent, Zhou Ziheng remained silent for a long time.

Yu Xinxin stared at the screen, her palms slightly sweaty.

She didn't know if her words had convinced the other person, or if the other person would think she was bragging.

After a long while, Zhou Ziheng finally replied with a message:

"Director Yu, how about this?"

"I happen to be going to your provincial capital on a business trip the day after tomorrow. How about we meet up then, and afterwards I'll visit your company for a site visit and inspection? Is that alright?"

"Because even if I were to introduce you to someone, I would still have to be responsible for my friends."

I need to see what your company's situation is before I can decide whether or not to help you.

When Yu Xinxin saw this message, a weight was finally lifted from her heart.

She quickly replied, "Okay, okay! Mr. Zhou, if you come, I'll treat you to dinner and take you to some fun places!"

"Don't worry, our company is absolutely legitimate, definitely not some shady place!"

Zhou Ziheng replied with a "Okay" followed by an emoji.

Yu Xinxin looked at the emoji and couldn't help but laugh.

She put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

I didn't expect we'd actually made an appointment.

Although the other party said they would come and take a look first, at least the first step has been taken.

Two days later, at the provincial capital airport.

Yu Xinxin stood at the exit of the arrival hall, holding up a sign that read "Zhou Ziheng" in large characters.

She specially changed into a clean white dress today, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her look energetic and neat.

She was a little nervous, after all, this was the first time she had ever hosted someone who was considered an "industry expert" on her own.

The announcement of the flight's arrival came over the loudspeaker, and she tiptoed to peek inside.

After a while, a young man wearing a dark casual jacket and carrying a backpack came out of the passage.

Yu Xinxin recognized him at a glance—he looked much the same as in the live stream, tall and thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked very refined.

She quickly waved, "Mr. Zhou! Over here!"

Zhou Ziheng saw her sign, walked over quickly, and wore a polite smile.

"Director Yu? Hello, hello."

"Don't call me Director Yu anymore, just call me Xin Xin." Yu Xin Xin smiled and extended her hand. "Welcome to the provincial capital!"

Zhou Ziheng shook hands with her, looked her up and down, and said with a smile:

"Director Yu, I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Not at all, Mr. Zhou, you flatter me." Yu Xinxin said a little embarrassed.

"The car is waiting outside. Let's go first. I'll show you around our provincial capital."

The two left the airport and got into the car.

As Yu Xinxin drove, she described the scenery along the road to Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window, and casually asked:

"Your company...is really planning to make mobile phones?"

"Really." Yu Xinxin nodded. "We've even found a site. There's a 10,000-square-meter factory in the Economic Development Zone."

"Ten thousand square meters?" Zhou Ziheng raised an eyebrow. "That's quite a large scale."

"Yes, our boss is serious about doing this," Yu Xinxin said, a hint of pride in her voice.

"Moreover, we have already been in talks with the government, the capital verification has been approved, and things are progressing step by step."

Zhou Ziheng was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

"Your boss...does he really have that chip solution you mentioned?"

Yu Xinxin thought for a moment and answered very honestly:

"Mr. Zhou, I really don't understand technology, so I can't explain the specifics of the solution to you."

But what I do know is that our boss has never let us down.

Zhou Ziheng remained silent upon hearing this answer.

The car quickly arrived at the headquarters of Xingyue Media.

Yu Xinxin parked the car and took Zhou Ziheng upstairs.

When I pushed open the company door, everyone inside was busy with their own things—some were on the phone, some were in meetings, and some were revising plans in front of their computers.

The atmosphere in the office was busy yet orderly.

Zhou Ziheng stood at the door, glanced around, and looked surprised.

"Your company... has a pretty good atmosphere," he said.

"Yes, our company has always had a great atmosphere," Yu Xinxin said with a smile. "Everyone is genuinely committed to working together."

She took Zhou Ziheng on a tour of the company. Zhou Ziheng looked around very carefully and occasionally asked a few questions, which Yu Xinxin answered one by one.

After walking around for a while, Yu Xinxin led Zhou Ziheng to Zhou Jianjun's office.

Zhou Jianjun had received advance notice and prepared the relevant materials.

He saw Zhou Ziheng come in, stood up, and extended his hand:

"Hello, I am Zhou Jianjun, the administrative manager of Xingyue Group."

"Hello, Zhou Ziheng." The two shook hands, and Zhou Jianjun gestured for him to sit down on the sofa.

"Xin Xin told me that you have some doubts about our project?" Zhou Jianjun asked bluntly.

Zhou Ziheng didn't mince words: "To be honest, I'm a little skeptical."

If a media company suddenly announces it's going to make mobile phones, anyone would think it's absurd.

Zhou Jianjun nodded, not refuting, but picked up a folder from the table and handed it to Zhou Ziheng:

"Take a look at this first."

Zhou Ziheng took it, opened it, and saw that inside was a copy of the "Project Investment Intent Letter", a bank credit certificate, and a draft of the approval document from the Economic Development Zone government.

He turned the pages one by one, his expression changing from casual at first to increasingly serious.

"This is... the approval document from the Economic Development Zone?" He looked up at Zhou Jianjun.

"Yes, the internal procedures have been completed. Once our project starts, the formal agreement can be signed," Zhou Jianjun said.

"Moreover, we've already found a factory site, 10,000 square meters, located in the Economic Development Zone, and we can sign the contract at any time."

Zhou Ziheng closed the file, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly nodded:

"If these things are true... then you're definitely serious."

"Of course it's true." Zhou Jianjun smiled. "You can verify it anytime."

Zhou Ziheng thought for a moment, then said, "Then... can I take a look at that factory?"

"Okay." Zhou Jianjun stood up. "Let's go now."

Yu Xinxin drove Zhou Ziheng and Zhou Jianjun to the steel structure factory building in the Economic Development Zone.

The factory doors were open, and the inside was empty. Sunlight streamed in through the windows on both sides, making the entire space feel spacious and bright.

Zhou Ziheng walked in, his footsteps echoing on the empty concrete ground. He walked from east to west, then from west to south, squatted down to check the flatness of the ground, and then looked up at the structure of the roof.

"Eight meters high is enough," he muttered to himself. "If we're building a cleanroom, the floor will need to be re-epoxy flooring, and the overhead piping will need to be replaced..."

He stopped in the center of the factory, walked around once, and then looked at Zhou Jianjun:

"How do you plan to design this factory?"

"The entrance will house the reception area and administrative offices, with a section in the middle for the R&D lab, a cleanroom and assembly/testing line at the back, and storage at the very back," Zhou Jianjun explained the plan he had discussed with Wang Hao.

After listening, Zhou Ziheng nodded thoughtfully: "This plan... is reasonable."

He looked around again, then said something that made Yu Xinxin burst out laughing:

"This place is much more reliable than I imagined."

After leaving the factory, Zhou Ziheng's attitude was noticeably more relaxed than before.

He stood at the factory gate, gazing at the distant horizon, remaining silent for a few seconds before turning to look at Zhou Jianjun:

"Manager Zhou, I believe you are serious about doing this."

"But—" he changed the subject, "having a technical solution is one thing, but being able to implement it is another. What you're lacking right now is someone who truly understands the field to take the lead."

"I know," Zhou Jianjun nodded. "That's the core issue we want to discuss with you today."

Zhou Ziheng glanced at him but didn't reply.

Yu Xinxin watched this scene from the side, silently praying in her heart.

I hope this trip wasn't a waste of time.
