Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

The visitors were Mr. Smith, a major client of the chip company, and his party of three, all of whom were white.

Shen Lan, Ding Meiyu, and the other three happily welcomed Smith and his group to the private room.

Even Lin Rongsen, who had been out of sorts, perked up and joined in the greetings.

For a moment, the private room was filled with laughter and chatter, a mix of Chinese and English, like a pot boiling over.

Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue translated the text, but due to the large number of people involved, some parts were inevitably missed.

It's alright. Although everyone is talking past each other, it's all just polite talk. You can guess pretty much from their expressions and gestures.

After a warm and friendly exchange, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Mr. Smith sat in the main seat, with Qin Heming to his right and his assistant James to his left. Next to James sat Lin Xiyue.

Next to Qin Heming was Richard, another of Mr. Smith's subordinates, who was in charge of technology.

Ding Meiyu, Shen Lan, and the other three sat on the other half of the round table.

Before taking their seats, Mr. Smith politely declined to sit in the head seat, insisting that Qin Heming take it.

Mr. Smith was a China expert and knew the etiquette of Chinese dining. He felt embarrassed to sit in the head seat in front of Qin Heming.

Qin Heming was on equal footing with the head of the parent company, Rusel, while he was merely the CEO of a subsidiary of the parent company.

If it weren't for the chip company's connections, he wouldn't even have the right to speak to Qin Heming.

On this trip, Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue not only personally went to the airport to pick them up, but also waited in the lobby when everyone went to the hotel to rest. Afterwards, he personally escorted the group to the private room at the club.

At this moment, Qin Heming took the initiative to take on the role of translator. This kind of hands-on treatment throughout the entire process made Mr. Smith feel truly flattered.

At the same time, Mr. Smith also deeply felt Mr. Qin's high regard for Lin Xiyue, and his care and support for the Lin family's chip companies.

Otherwise, with such a small market value, how could a chip company possibly catch President Qin's eye?

Shen Lan instructed the manager to serve wine and dishes, and one exquisite dish after another filled the table.

Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue had both studied in Country A, and were not only fluent in the language but also deeply familiar with the local culture. With them acting as translators and facilitating the atmosphere, the entire banquet was a joyous occasion.

During the meal, toasts were exchanged and everyone enjoyed themselves.

After a few rounds of drinks, Smith brought up the purpose of his trip: he had brought blueprints for several mid-to-high-end chips, which would allow Xingxin Technology to enter the mid-to-high-end market.

He also stated, "This is a sensitive area, specially approved by the big boss; not just any company can obtain it."

This had been mentioned in an email before, and now it had indeed come true, drawing a chorus of thanks from Shen Lan and the others.

Shen Lan and Ding Meiyu exchanged a glance, their joy barely concealed.

A year ago, Xingxin Technology successfully went public, taking advantage of the national support for the chip industry. As one of the first entrants, Xingxin Technology benefited from the policy dividends and enjoyed unparalleled success for a time.

However, due to a lack of core technology, the products have been stuck in the low-end industry. The chips produced can only be used in some simple household appliances and remote controls. The volume is large, but the profit is meager.

The company's performance was quickly reflected in the stock market, with the share price continuing to decline.

The Gu and Lin families originally operated primarily in traditional industries, which lacked competitiveness in today's society. Therefore, they focused all their energy and resources on the emerging field of semiconductors.

Thanks to orders from major customer Rusel, they seized the opportunity in the emerging chip industry.

However, if there is no technological breakthrough, the existing advantages will vanish in an instant, and both companies will suffer heavy losses.

Now things are looking up. The client has sent us advanced drawings. As long as we can successfully transfer the technology, develop the processes, and improve the production yield, the company will take a big leap to the next level, and the future looks promising!

Of course, Mr. Smith also mentioned that mid-to-high-end chips and low-end products are not comparable, but represent a qualitative leap.

It's not just about technology transfer, but about a comprehensive upgrade of equipment and a new raw material supply chain.

In short, the research and development process requires not only highly skilled technical personnel but also a significant amount of money.

When the topic of talent came up, Ding Meiyu said to Mr. Smith with confidence and pride:

"We have the talent. Our Miss Lin is a doctoral student under a world-renowned professor, specializing in high-end chip design and manufacturing. Her technical skills are definitely not a problem."

Lin Xiyue blushed and said to Ding Meiyu, embarrassed, "Mom, don't exaggerate like that."

Mr. Smith, unaware of what they were talking about, looked at Qin Heming with a puzzled expression.

Qin Heming translated for Mr. Smith with a smile, and Mr. Smith suddenly understood:

"I know Miss Lin's mentor; he's a friend of our boss, and he's very famous."

Lin Xiyue gave Qin Heming a coquettish look, then smiled and lightly covered her face with her hands.

Regarding funding, Shen Lan and Ding Meiyu both patted their chests and said, "No problem. With the combined strength of our two families, we can definitely overcome this challenge."

They had something on their minds that they were too embarrassed to say, because Qin Heming, their wealthy and generous son-in-law, was standing right behind them.

A little bit of money dripping from Qin Heming's fingers was enough to make the chip company very happy.

Mr. Smith thought so too, and he could tell from this banquet that Qin Heming cared a lot about Miss Lin.

The Qin family is a globally renowned corporation. With him in charge, how could Xingxin Technology or even Ms. Lin's family lack funds?

The banquet concluded successfully, and Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue escorted Mr. Smith and the others back to their hotel.

After seeing Mr. Smith and his party off with great courtesy, Ding Meiyu let out a slight breath and stood tall on the high steps of the clubhouse entrance.

Feeling triumphant! Yes, that's exactly how it feels.

Chip companies are about to experience a major boom and will soon seize the new opportunity presented by drones.

Drones also need chips, especially mid- to high-end chips.

The two emerging industries will complement each other, leading to a surge in the stock market and the birth of a new large conglomerate.

"Let's go, let's go, stop posing here." Shen Lan's hurried voice interrupted Ding Meiyu's thoughts.

Ugh, what a spoilsport!

Helpless, Ding Meiyu brushed the silk satin cheongsam she was wearing, took Lin Rongsen's arm, and walked gracefully toward the parking lot.

On the way, Ding Meiyu caught up with Shen Lan and asked, "Have you prepared the application materials for the drone patent?"

"Alright, alright, just wait for the notification, and Xiao Sun can hand it in." Shen Lan glanced at Ding Meiyu with an expression that said, "You don't trust me to do this?"

"Okay, I'll just ask." Ding Meiyu's mood improved even more.

The following day, Smith and his team visited Xingxin Company's offices and explained the key points and requirements of the drawings, as well as the product standards, to all the technical personnel.

Qin Heming accompanied him throughout the process and listened attentively as Richard explained the technical issues.

Shen Lan and Ding Meiyu were delighted to see Qin Heming taking time out of his busy schedule to care for their chip company because of Lin Xiyue.

"Yueyue is still the best," Shen Lan sighed to Ding Meiyu in a low voice. "She has a good education, good looks, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. That's why Qin Heming is so devoted to her."

Over the next two days, the Gu and Lin families arranged sightseeing and entertainment for Mr. Smith and his party.

Qin Heming did not accompany them.

Lin Xiyue explained to Mr. Smith, "Heming was away on a business trip. He was supposed to leave two days ago, but he postponed his departure by two days to specifically receive you, sir."

Mr. Smith expressed his understanding and gratitude, and praised the deep friendship between Qin and Lin.

Lin Xiyue smiled and thanked her politely.

Aside from that, I felt no emotion.

She was very confident in Qin Heming's feelings for her, and felt that Mr. Smith was just stating an objective fact.

.......

In the days following the exhibition, Jiang Yin and Tang Ning spent their time investigating the drone retail market in major business districts of Beijing.

That day, Jiang Yin received a call from the state-owned research institute that had been handling her patent matters, informing her:

I'll go to the institute when I have some free time these next few days. The list of companies that have applied for drone decryption patents has been compiled, and I'd like to ask her to go and exercise her "right to make suggestions".
