We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

At the same time, it was exactly 10:00 AM.

Arrival hall at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.

Wang Junhua, the person in charge of Green Bean Pod, along with business director Li Ming and chief architect Lao Zhou, hurried out with the flow of people.

All three of them had huge dark circles under their eyes, their shirts were wrinkled, and their eyes were bloodshot.

I stayed up most of last night in the conference room of Yanjing Innovation Works, and rushed to the Capital Airport before dawn to catch the earliest flight, without even having time to eat a hot breakfast.

As soon as he stepped out of the terminal, Wang Junhua didn't even bother to book a hotel. He simply hailed a taxi, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

"Driver, to Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port in Pudong, the sooner the better!"

The taxi merged into the heavy traffic and sped along.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Business Director Li Ming rubbed his throbbing temples, turned to look at Wang Junhua in the back, and spoke with a hint of worry:

"Junhua, we didn't even send a formal email yesterday, and we're just showing up today. What if the owner of that Starry Sky Software refuses to see us, or is deliberately trying to make things difficult for us?"

Wang Junhua leaned back in his seat, watching the Shanghai cityscape rushing past the car window, his voice hoarse:

"We can't worry about that now."

"After getting off the plane, I glanced at the JiFeng website. The number of independent activation devices in the Xingchen App Market has exceeded 150,000. Their one-click silent installation function without data cable is rapidly encroaching on our core territory."

Even if I have to sit on the sidelines at their company's front desk today, I must meet the person in charge behind them!

Forty minutes later, the taxi came to a smooth stop in front of Building A of Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port.

Wang Junhua paid the fare, straightened his collar, and led Li Ming and Lao Zhou into the building, taking the elevator straight to the sixteenth floor.

With a crisp sound, the elevator doors slid open to both sides.

The 450-square-meter office area is spacious and bright. Behind the modern, technologically advanced dark gray frosted glass partitions, young engineers wearing name tags are busy at their respective workstations, with the crisp and frequent sound of keyboards being typed.

Wang Junhua took a deep breath, walked to the front desk, and handed over his business card with both hands:

"Hello, I am Wang Junhua, the person in charge of Yanjing Green Bean Pod Technology. I am here on my own initiative to request a meeting with your company's General Manager Ye. Please help me announce my arrival."

The receptionist took the business card, glanced at it, and politely asked the three of them to sit in the waiting area. She then picked up the internal phone and made a call.

Less than two minutes later, the office door opened.

Chen Wei, who had just washed his face with cold water and changed into a clean plaid shirt, strode out to greet them.

"Oh my, it's Mr. Wang from Green Bean Pods! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner!"

Chen Wei extended his hand to shake hands with Wang Junhua, a warm smile on his face, and personally led the three of them into a spacious, independent glass meeting room.

"Mr. Wang, Director Li, and this is Engineer Zhou, right? Please have a seat!"

Chen Wei invited the three of them to sit down and then asked the front desk to bring in three cups of freshly brewed hot Longjing tea. He was very polite and attentive.

Wang Junhua took the teacup with both hands and placed it on the table. Without bothering with pleasantries, he went straight to the point:

"Director Chen, to be honest, we flew all the way from Yanjing because we were truly impressed by your company's technical capabilities. We'd like to have a face-to-face discussion with your General Manager Ye about in-depth cooperation. Would it be convenient for General Manager Ye to meet with us now?"

Hearing this, Chen Wei, sitting opposite him, smiled, picked up his thermos, and took a sip of goji berry water.

"Mr. Wang, it's really unfortunate, our General Manager Ye is not in the company right now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junhua's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air.

Li Ming, the business director standing next to him, immediately frowned deeply, a nameless anger rising in his heart.

Not at the office?

You're kidding me!

Xingchen App Market just launched its first app on the entire network yesterday morning, and last night it experienced a hacker attack and a surge in downloads that went viral across the entire network. Now is a critical period for internet products to seize market share!

The founder of any internet company would be living and working in the server room during times like this, monitoring the retention and conversion curves of the backend 24/7. How could they possibly not be at the company?!

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to put on airs by leaving the Mung Bean Pods in the meeting room while they were at a disadvantage, trying to intimidate them before negotiations begin!

Li Ming suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile:

"Director Chen, our CEO Wang took the first flight from Yanjing this morning, showing his sincerity. Even if CEO Ye is extremely busy, he's only in one office building. Surely he can spare ten minutes to meet with us?"

Seeing Li Ming's unpleasant expression, which clearly indicated that he had been slighted, Chen Wei was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other party had misunderstood.

He put down the thermos, both amused and exasperated, spread his hands, and said truthfully:

"Director Li, you're really wronging me! How could I possibly put on airs with you all!"

"Our CEO Ye is really not in the company. He rarely comes here to work."

"Not coming to the office?" Wang Junhua was stunned. "Then where is President Ye now? Is he in a meeting at your company headquarters?"

"No, not at all."

Chen Wei glanced at the clock on the wall and said casually:

"It's only 10:40. Our CEO Ye is still a university student. He has a full day of classes this Tuesday morning, and he's currently teaching advanced mathematics at school. He hasn't finished class yet!"

boom……!

As soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, the entire glass-walled meeting room became so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly.

Wang Junhua's blue-and-white porcelain teacup wobbled, splashing scalding tea onto the back of his hand, but he seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed on Chen Wei.

The chief architect, Lao Zhou, standing next to him had his mouth slightly agape, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

College student? !

Still having advanced mathematics lessons in the classroom?!

Last night, the mastermind behind the scenes used low-level programming language to write privilege escalation logic, wrapped it with four layers of dynamic obfuscation shells, and even set up anti-debugging self-destruct traps, utterly humiliating the technical elites of their entire Innovation Works...

He's actually a college student who still carries a backpack to class?!

The three looked at each other, their minds a jumbled mess. The industry knowledge they had built up over the past decade in the internet world shattered in an instant.

Seeing the three people opposite him frozen in shock, Chen Wei felt secretly pleased, but on the surface he maintained a polite smile and stood up, saying:

"How about this, Mr. Wang, you three can have some tea and rest for a while. I'll go outside and call Mr. Ye to ask when he finishes class and if he's free to come over this afternoon."

After speaking, Chen Weichong and the other two nodded, stepped out of the meeting room, and closed the glass door behind them.

Through the transparent glass wall, watching Chen Wei's back as he stood in the corridor taking out his phone to make a call, the three people in the meeting room were stunned for a long time.

After a full ten seconds, Business Director Li Ming swallowed hard, turned to look at Lao Zhou and Wang Junhua beside him, and managed to utter a dry, strained sentence:

"Junhua...the mortal enemy we've been working ourselves to the bone in Yanjing, the one we treat like a prehistoric behemoth, is still getting caught up in calculus roll call at school?!"
