Hao Ren waited in the conference room before a timid looking girl walked inside the room. Her hair were covering her forehead, and she was holding the hem of her shirt. Klaus said, "Miss Talia is a senior developer in the team responsible for development of the horizon operating system."
The people nodded and Hao Ren asked, "Miss Talia, can you guess why have you been called over?"
The girl flinched and shook her head timidly. Hao Ren sighed and said, "You do not have to worry so much. It is not a bad thing to be called over. The thing is that I liked how you have optimized the OS processing algorithms by twenty percent. Your work is so nice that while testing it, I found no glitch, so I thought why not call you over and give you creation credit.
I wonder what you think of this proposal."
Talia was surprised and Klaus smiled at her. He said, "Everyone, Miss Talia here has proven that we are not behind those big shots of the other high level companies, by improvising the processing algorithm on her own. With this step, our software capability is on par with Byte Technologies."
The people were surprised and they all clapped together as they complimented Talia and congratulating Hao Ren.
The young man waved his hand and said, "Miss Talia, I want to give you complete charge to look into the new version of the operating system. You can hand pick the people you want in your team. Someone who can move along with you and create better tech for the company."
Talia opened her mouth and she nodded. Hao Ren did not force her to talk, and said, "You may leave now. Get ready to list out the people from the hand it to Mister Klaus."
Talia opened her eyes wide and then she said, "Yes, Mister President."
The big shots congratulated her and the lady left the conference room with a dazed expression. She did not expect that such a good news will come knocking on her door so suddenly.
Inside the conference room, Hao Ren said while looking at the HR director, "Inform the people to increase her pay and issue a promotion letter."
The man nodded, and Hao Ren looked at Attorney Leigh, "What happened to the redevelopment application?"
Leigh smiled and said, "Well, the magistrate has passed the application, but we have to wait till all the relevant departments sign on it. If all goes well, it will be finished by the end of the week."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "As soon as you get the permit, inform me. We are running behind the schedule." Discover more novels at Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Leigh nodded, and Hao Ren said, "Miss Lynn, we have signed the cooperation agreement with the military. You can call them and get me an appointment with Commander Gan."
The lady nodded, and then Hao Ren began to delegate a lot of work to all the heads on the table. Lastly, he looked at Klaus and said, "I want a transparent body performance and gaming laptop. Design priorities are cooling, and compact, and clean."
Klaus was surprised and asked, "What do you intend to do?"
Hao Ren said, "I want to sell some real tech to the people. Trigram Chips are still working, right?"
Lynn Carter said, "Sir, they are about to go bankrupt."
The young man nodded and said, "Go, acquire them. I want their chip technology as a starting point. I want this product in Beta testing phase in thirty days. I do not mind if you put extra people on it. We have enough money to support it, right?"
The higher ups agreed and Hao Ren said, "That would be all for the time being. Klaus, I will be expecting a rough design format by the end of the week. Contact Dion to acquire the chip company and factory."
The people nodded, and Hao Ren made his way to his cabin. In the past the system has given a robotics factory which he had to expand and transform it into a big plant where all his hardware could be managed.
The young man sighed as he came inside his cabin and sat down on his chair. He intended to rest for a bit, when the system said, *Ding: Issuing emergency task. Rescue Han Lingshi from the terrorist attack."
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide in shock, and just when he wanted to ask what happened, he heard Xiao Mei say, "Just now, seven armed men entered the premises of Empress International. They have killed five guards, and are moving deeper inside the office."
Hao Ren picked up his phone and dashed out of his office at his full speed. He got in the car and made a half-circle burnout to turn the car and dash out of the parking. Xiao Mei had already cleared his way by diverting the traffic. The Artificial Intelligence said, "Boss, they have deployed signal jammers, the people inside cannot contact outside. That's why I could not detect any of it.
They are rounding up hostages."
Hao Ren said coldly, "I want to find out who is behind this, and what is the fucking police force doing? How can they allow terrorists barge inside the country space so easily?"
Xiao Mei did not reply to him. Hao Ren moved quickly and raised his hand to look inside the space ring on his right hand. He found the pistol he had stored inside in the past.
The young man asked, "Give me a detailed check on these men."
Xiao Mei replied, "Boss, for that you will have to kill them and take off the mask covering their faces."
Hao Ren nodded and replied coldly, "I would have taken their heads off if not for the shitty rules and regulations."
Xiao Mei replied, "The cops will reach within five minutes."
Hao Ren suddenly parked the car on the side, and dashed out of the vehicle. Many people had gathered on the side walk, and they were recording the situation outside. Hao Ren shoved the crowd away, as he made his way closer to the Empress International.
Suddenly, he frowned, and placed his phone next to his ears before he said, "Can you check if they have any sentries stationed in the surroundings, Xiao Mei?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Yes, just a second, I am using the satellite vision, to scan every single roof top in the two kilometer range, that aligns with the Empress International's building."
At this moment, Hao Ren spotted a lot of police vehicles coming over, and they began to clear the crowd to set up a parameter. One of the police officers came beside Hao Ren and shoved him while yelling, "Is there a movie going on here? You people have nothing good to do then gathering here and watching others in misery."
Hao Ren turned around, and shoved the cops hands away. He pointed at the building behind him and said, "My wife is in there, and I would like to see how you slacking pieces of shit can make me go away from here. I swear to god, I will break all your legs before you have a chance to face those terrorists. Incompetent pigs!"
Hao Ren did not lower his voice, and his contempt was heard by everyone. The cop was pissed, and he took hold of his baton before he swung it at Hao Ren while yelling, "How dare you curse me, you son of a bitch."
Hao Ren leaned back, avoided the baton, and then jabbed at the temple of the cop attacking him. The people did not even catch hold of his move, and only saw the cop falling to the ground. Hao Ren snorted and said, "Xiao Mei, I dislike incompetency."
The AI replied, "Three men, on top of three buildings, forming a perfect triangle with the building in the center."
Hao Ren nodded, and said, "Guide me to these locations."
The cops had yet to discover a fallen comrade, so Hao Ren vanished in the crowd with ease.
Inside the President's office, Maya Okudera and Han Lingshi were sitting on the couch with a blonde man sitting across them with a sunny smile on his face.
The man spoke in fluent Han language, "Miss Han, the fabled empress of Han Nation Business circle. It is my pleasure to have an audience with you."
Han Lingshi did not reply, she only watched the man before her with a dead pan face. The man did not seem to dis, and continued, "I understand that the mannerism of my visit is very rude and toxic, but you see, I had a few questions that I could not find the answer to. In the end, all I could do was to seek you. Can you tell me who destroyed Red Banner?"
Han Lingshi furrowed her brows, she did not know what Hao Ren pulled off, but it happened and she could bet her life that it was her husband who did something .
She shook her head and replied, "I have no idea."
The blonde man nodded and asked, "Can you tell me where might I find your husband?"
Han Lingshi frowned and asked, "What do you want with him?"
The man smiled and replied, "We should not ruin the surprise for someone."
