Chapter 366: Chapter 332: Young People Don’t Have Martial Ethics? (2)
She knew that once Ye Ling returned to Modu, he would be busy with work again. When that happened, he would have very little time to spend with her...
She was such a sweet and sensible girl.
She would never ask Ye Ling to squeeze time out of his schedule for her, but if he did have time to spend with her, she would absolutely cherish it.
...
It was the third day of Ye Ling’s stay on Misty Peak, and today was also the launch date for the Xia Wei Group’s new No. 8 model!
In the morning, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi had another fun outing near Misty Peak. After finishing lunch, they finally started their journey home around three in the afternoon.
Even though she had known all along that they were leaving today, Ning Ruoxi still felt a pang of reluctance.
She and Ye Ling had made so many memories on Misty Peak.
"Alright, once things calm down and I have some free time, I’ll take you out again."
Ye Ling easily sensed Ning Ruoxi’s disappointment. He reached over and ruffled the hair of the young woman in the passenger seat, comforting her.
"Mhm!"
Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently. A smile instantly brightened her face at the thought of going on another trip with Ye Ling in the future.
Alright, then.
’The girl is pretty easy to please.’
Ye Ling got the black Maybach back on the road home. Since he was already familiar with the route, the drive didn’t take an especially long time.
Around five o’clock that evening, the black Maybach arrived in Modu.
Instead of heading straight back to Tomson Riviera, Ye Ling drove to the Tianxin Technology Company research institute.
"Wait here for a bit. I have some business to take care of," Ye Ling said to Ning Ruoxi.
"Okay, I’ll just wait for you in the car," Ning Ruoxi replied with an obedient nod, then pulled out her phone to pass the time.
Ye Ling cracked the window open slightly before getting out. At the entrance to the institute, he went through a series of security procedures, including an iris scan, before being allowed inside.
The research institute was extremely important, so Ye Ling had spared no expense on security, implementing what was currently one of the most advanced security systems in the world.
In the event of a malicious breach, all data would be automatically sealed and locked down.
"President Ye!"
When Ye Ling entered, Hua Deyun and a group of researchers were already waiting for him at the laboratory entrance.
Ye Ling had contacted Hua Deyun before arriving in Modu to let him know he was coming.
"So, what’s the status on cracking the iFeng 6X?" Ye Ling asked Hua Deyun.
"We’ve handled it. We successfully installed our Tianxin Chip in the iFeng 6X. Powered by the Tianxin Chip, the iFeng 6X’s benchmark score increased by nearly fifty percent. And based on our tests, its overall performance should be improved by at least thirty-five percent."
Hua Deyun said, handing a report to Ye Ling.
This was the task Ye Ling had assigned to Hua Deyun.
He had instructed Hua Deyun’s team to crack the new iFeng model and replace its original chip with the Tianxin Chip to test its performance.
Ye Ling took the report and glanced over it. A flicker of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.
To be honest, even Ye Ling had been a little skeptical about the Tianxin Chip’s performance at first.
After all, the mainstream 7nm chips on the market were already highly mature. Yet, according to Hua Deyun, the Tianxin Chip was thirty percent more powerful than its mainstream counterparts.
If that claim got out, absolutely no one would believe it.
However, judging from the current test data, Hua Deyun hadn’t been exaggerating in the slightest; if anything, he had been conservative.
Both were 7nm chips, yet the iFeng 6X phone equipped with the Tianxin Chip saw a performance boost of nearly thirty-five percent...
"Have you shown this data to anyone besides me?" Ye Ling asked Hua Deyun.
"No."
Hua Deyun shook his head without hesitation. "Besides my team, no one else has seen it. Not a single outside party."
"Good. Keep this information under wraps for now."
Ye Ling nodded. Then, a thought occurred to him. With a mental command, he activated his Interpersonal Relationship Scanning System and used it on Hua Deyun.
...
Name: Hua Deyun
Age: 30
Weight: 67kg
Height: 173cm
...
Favorability: 100 [Diehard Loyalty] [Faith]
...
’As expected of a talent provided by the system. His loyalty is completely unquestionable,’ Ye Ling nodded to himself.
"President Ye, one more thing," Hua Deyun spoke up again. "Our progress on cracking the iFeng 7X is about one-third complete. I believe we should be able to finish it in about another month."
"Mm, good."
Ye Ling nodded, then looked at the team before him. "Everyone, you’ve all been working hard lately. I’m not a stingy person. Once this project is concluded, everyone will receive a substantial bonus."
In fact, Ye Ling had already used his Interpersonal Scanning System to check everyone on the team. While their favorability scores weren’t as high as Hua Deyun’s, they were all above ninety.
In other words, these people were completely loyal to Ye Ling. There was no chance of betrayal.
But that didn’t mean Ye Ling would be harsh or stingy with their compensation.
’Favorability scores can change over time; they aren’t set in stone.’
Ye Ling had a deep understanding of human nature. ’If I really don’t offer any reward, even someone like Hua Deyun would probably feel a bit resentful, wouldn’t he?’
’It wouldn’t be enough to make him betray me, but his motivation would definitely take a hit.’
Hua Deyun might be a talent recommended by the system, but he was a person first and a talent second.
’And people have their own thoughts and feelings.’
Upon hearing Ye Ling’s words, a look of sincere gratitude appeared in the researchers’ eyes.
"Thank you, President Ye," Hua Deyun said, also thanking him.
"Mm. Just keep up the good work. I’ll be sure to treat you all well," Ye Ling said with a small smile. He gave a few more instructions before turning to leave.
"President Ye treats us so well and is so considerate. We have to work hard so we don’t let him down!"
"Yeah, totally! President Ye is great, nothing like those Western capitalists. He’s so down-to-earth."
...
After Ye Ling left, the researchers broke into quiet discussion.
Hua Deyun, of course, heard their chatter, but he didn’t say anything.
’President Ye... He’s truly suited to be a leader,’
Hua Deyun thought to himself with a sigh of admiration as he watched Ye Ling’s retreating figure.
...
After leaving the Tianxin Technology Company’s research institute, Ye Ling returned to his car. The moment he got in, the young woman handed him her phone.
"Stinky, look at this fun thing!" Ning Ruoxi said with a laugh.
"Oh?"
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, took the phone, and started watching.
Ning Ruoxi was showing him a parody video from a popular streaming site. The star of the video was a man in his sixties or seventies with a swollen eye, claiming to be the grandmaster of something called Primordial Form Intention Tai Chi Boxing?
After watching for a moment, Ye Ling couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"How about that? ’Young people these days have no martial virtue!’" Ye Ling said, still laughing.
"Hahaha! And ’Young people, rat tail juice!’" Ning Ruoxi also burst out laughing.
"I just realized, this Master Ma looks a bit like someone I know!" Ye Ling suddenly said.
"Like who?"
Ning Ruoxi asked curiously, blinking.
"A certain big shot!"
The more Ye Ling looked, the stronger the resemblance seemed. He even began to suspect they might be the same person.
...
After they got back to Tomson Riviera, Ye Ling sat down on the sofa and forwarded the video Ning Ruoxi had shown him to Dong Xun.
About five minutes later, Dong Xun sent Ye Ling a reply: three dots.
’Ye Ling: Don’t you think this guy looks a little like you?’
’Dong Xun: If you feel like you’ve lived too long, I can lend you a hand with that.’
’Ye Ling: Going to finish me off with the Bouncing and Shaking Lightning Whip?’
’Dong Xun: ...’
Looking at Dong Xun’s reply, Ye Ling could just imagine the expression on his face. It had to be as black as the bottom of a pot.
’Dong Xun: You’d better watch yourself.’
’Ye Ling: Master Dong, I was wrong!’
’Dong Xun: I’m coming to Modu tomorrow!’
