I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Actually, all of this happened very quickly, as if it had been rehearsed many times.

The main reason is that these people never thought they would be arrested. Chen Feng believed that he had Liu Wei under his control and could act recklessly!

But he was overthinking it. This company doesn't belong to Liu Wei. If the company's interests are infringed, Liu Wei is nothing!

Returning the stolen goods and making restitution, then going to jail—that was Chen Feng's fate.

He wanted to ask someone for help, but he didn't know who to ask!

This is also Ye Feng's fault. Liu Wei is like a seedling that has been forced to grow too fast. If someone with experience were to come along, would Chen Feng still think he could control her? Burying her is impossible, but she certainly won't have a good life!

So, Ye Feng didn't offer any opinion on the next CEO selection, letting the various companies compete for it. He wouldn't even dare to compete if he wanted to!

The other companies also knew Ye Feng's thoughts and were all trying to win his support, but Ye Feng directly stated that he would abstain!

Ye Feng temporarily took over the management of the company. There was no other way; the CEO had been arrested, but the company couldn't be allowed to fall into chaos.

Moreover, Ye Feng is the most suitable right now. Even if Ye Feng doesn't want to do it, the other shareholders will push him to do it. After all, Ye Feng is the most familiar with this company and is also the largest shareholder. He would never harm the company's interests.

Ye Feng thus found himself something to do.

The first thing they did was crack down on cheating and give away a commemorative skin for free to all players who had never used cheats.

As a result, the insults on the game forums have gradually subsided.

"I heard their company boss was taken down because of the cheating software!"

"Internal information: The founder is back. Zero tolerance for cheating; they've called the police directly. Send a large group immediately!"

"Wow, that's ruthless. By the way, what does it mean the founder is back? Did he leave before?"

"You didn't know? The youngest billionaire ever! This company was just something he started as a hobby in college. He got too tired of it right before the IPO and quit!"

"Which young master from a wealthy family is here to experience life again?"

"You're really wrong about that. This guy is truly amazing. He started writing novels in high school, and his family isn't rich. You can look him up and you'll see!"

Ye Feng's personal information became a hot topic on the game forums again, which was quite outrageous.

Actually, Ye Feng doesn't need to stay at the company all the time in this situation. With those old guys keeping an eye on things, the company's foundation is still intact, so he can just work normally.

Ye Feng is temporarily out of trouble, but he still needs to have a serious talk with Lu Chengyu about the shares. They need to figure things out quickly, because who knows when the company might go under!

At home, Ye Feng was sitting in his study thinking about the investment company when a series of babbling sounds came from the doorway.

Just as I came to my senses, Miaomiao was standing at the door holding her daughter.

The naughty little guy was wearing a pink onesie, kicking his short legs happily.

Ye Feng immediately stood up and took the little guy from him.

"When are you leaving?"

"I really don't want to go back tomorrow~"

"There's no other way, you have to breastfeed. Don't worry, I'll come back to be with you as soon as I'm done here."

"Hmm~"

The little guy was still too young, so Ye Feng found two cars to take him back, along with so many things to bring home.

Ye Feng originally thought he could just go back and buy it, or order it online directly, since he would have already arrived home by then.

But Miaomiao's mother didn't think so. She said that Xixi was used to it and wouldn't change it. She would take it all back with her, and that was the only way.

The three of them will travel in one car, a minivan, which will be more comfortable. As for all the luggage, they'll use a van, which won't be too slow anyway.

When you're the only one left at home, life seems to slow down.

Occasionally, I'll answer a phone call to arrange things at the company, listen to some reports, and then make further arrangements.

He didn't need to worry about the rest; he didn't even need to go to the company.

His main focus is on the investment company. He had previously asked Lu Chengyu to collect information about the semiconductor industry, and recently he has been working with Lu Chengyu to study this area.

Although neither of them understood the market, one of them was knowledgeable about it and had many friends in the industry abroad, so he could still get some information.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, compared the content of the novel in his mind with the information collected by Lu Chengyu.

It's not about which company has the strongest technology, because the best in this field are overseas. You can buy them, but it's too expensive.

Furthermore, just like in the world where mobile phones exist, what if they impose an embargo on you?

Ye Feng entered this industry for this reason.

Automotive-grade, mobile phone-grade, and even computer-grade chips—these represent huge markets.

It's impossible to take over the entire market, so we need to find a suitable one; we can't have it all.

Then there are several companies with R&D capabilities. Ye Feng mainly looks at the technical route to see if it is the same as the technology that was ultimately successful in the novel. Otherwise, he will abandon it.

While other routes may not necessarily be wrong, what he knows is that they have already succeeded, so there's not much more to say.

"This place looks good. How's the size?"

"This...is not a very large-scale project, and the research is quite difficult. Like I said, we don't have the money."

"It's good to be poor. If we were rich, people wouldn't necessarily want our money."

"That's true, but the key issue is that this company doesn't have any top-notch technical experts. It's too slow for them to produce results."

"What if we invest in a wafer fab, and just mess around with that kind of thing? Is that something we could do?"

"It's impossible. We can't attract that many orders. The mainstream chips are all from overseas. We simply can't win any orders because the most advanced manufacturing processes are all in other people's hands. We can buy lithography machines, but we don't have the production technology at all."

That is a problem. Manufacturing chips is not just about having a lithography machine. Having a lithography machine does not mean you can immediately produce chips with the most advanced manufacturing process. The related manufacturing processes are also of utmost importance.

This has created a stalemate; even if they have money, they don't know where to spend it.

"Mr. Ye, I still think the chip industry is not very suitable. The investment is huge, but the key is that the technology in this area is really lacking. I think it's impossible to catch up with foreign countries in the short term."

Ye Feng did not answer, because it was the truth, and he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

"If you really want to enter this industry, unless you come to one of the top companies, the rest are not worth investing in at all. And even those top wafer fabs, given their current situation, I'm not very optimistic about them."

"Huh? Why?"

"There's some internal chaos, which is slowing things down."

So that's how it is. No wonder.
