“What happened later?” Jiang Chen kept asking.

“Later… she broke free from my hand and fled without saying anything.” Ayesha was slightly upset when she spoke about this.

Of course, this frustration did not last long, and soon she was immersed in the happiness of Jiang Chen’s “special way to get up.”

At last, before lunch, Jiang Chen spared Ayesha who was “begging for mercy” and watched the little girl limp into the kitchen.

After lunch, Jiang Chen helped Ayesha clean up the dishes and then went to the garage. Sitting on his converted Lamborghini, he raced toward Future Building.

Compared to Xia Shiyu, who was meticulous, the employees of Future Group were no longer surprised by the President’s casual work time. After all, only the CEOs of the subsidiaries had direct report relationships. Ordinary employees rarely had the opportunity to contact him on the job. Therefore, there was no need to lead by example.

However, both were late together today, and indeed many people were somewhat surprised.

For example, the two ladies at the front desk of the building,

“Hey, that was… the president right?” With curly hair, the female professional poked her colleague next to her and said with a look of curiosity.

“Yeah? What happened?” asked the colleague with her hair in a ponytail.

“Have you noticed that Boss Xia was actually late today and came after eleven! And, the way she walked… it was a bit weird.” The curly haired woman quickly glanced around her and whispered to her friend.

The ponytail woman’s face immediately turned red and seemed to have related it to something. She gave her a hard stare and whispered.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Maybe it’s just her time of the month. If the department manager hears about this, be careful about your bonus!”

The curly haired girl popped out her tongue and stopped talking.

But nonetheless the gossip only spread to more people, in less than an hour, the “must-tell story between Boss Xia and the President” began to spread. Although after learning of this news, many male workers who secretly admired their beautiful boss pounded their chest in disappointment, most people still blessed the two from the bottom of their hearts.

Both of them have considerable reputation in the company. The two finally coming together was also expected by most people

Sitting in the office for just a short while, Xia Shiyu pushed open the door and came in.

Her black long hair was tied up. The delicate face had light makeup on it. The white shirt and black pencil skirt drew out her perfect curves, and the black stockings underneath the skirt were simply irresistible.

When Xia Shiyu’s eyes met with Jiang Chen’s, Xia Shiyu who had already adjusted her mind couldn’t help but panic. She looked away and then took a few steps forward and handed the files to him.

“…this is Future Bank’s proposal for the acquisition of the Goldman Sachs Group’s assets. David Smith has already been in touch with some of Goldman Sachs’ shareholders. They also plan to withdraw from the infighting between the Jewish Consortium and the WASP Consortium. We expect that we can acquire 11% of Goldman Sachs Group shares at relatively low prices, as well as some of the physical assets that are distributed along the West Coast. Due to the amount involved is as high as $6.1 billion dollars, we need your signature.”

Xia Shiyu bit her tongue three times as she spoke. She buried her head and wanted to find a crack on the ground so she could hid inside it.

Jiang Chen took the documents she handed over and took this opportunity to look into her eyes. He said seriously.

“I will take responsibility.”

“This, here is the office… Please don’t do this.” Xia Shiyu’s eyes once again escaped. The panic on her face was not one that belonged to a successful business woman.

A smirk formed on Jiang Chen’s face and he couldn’t resist the temptation to tease her.

“Eh? What did I do?”

“…” Xia Shiyu’s face remained red and she did not respond.

Seeing that she was not talking, Jiang Chen stood up and walked around the desk slowly. When he was beside her, he whispered into her ear.

“Or, rather… are you looking forward to something?”

…

Xia Shiyu eventually escaped, but Jiang Chen did not really intend to do anything. It was the workplace after all. If he did plan to do something, he would have to wait for everyone to leave work…

The work in the afternoon was basically signing documents after documents to deal with the success of Future Group in the Silicon Valley Summit.

A large number of graphene material orders allowed Coro Island to become a global trading center for graphene materials. Jiang Chen originally intended to build the hub in Penglai, but considering that Coro Island was the capital of Xin and the numerous expansions of the port on the southern tip, compared to Penglai, which focuses on tourism, it was more suitable as a transfer station for the transfer of graphene materials to the world.

In fact, the Malaysian government had tried to put this trade center in the New Malaysia Special District and provided a number of unimaginable preferential conditions. However, Jiang Chen, with almost no hesitation, rejected the proposal of the Malaysian government.

For any sane people, anyone could see the benefits of such a trade center. Controlling a material trade center would mean huge international influence. And these international influences could be directly reflected in the economic growth of the country!

Although graphene was basically produced at the plant in the New Malaysian Special District, the location of production doesn’t dictate ownership. Oil was mostly produced by OPEC member countries, but it was still settled with US dollars.

The same principle.

Although Malaysia and Future Group maintained cooperation worth tens of billions of dollars, Malaysia even created a special district for Future Group. The relationship between the two sides was quite close, but it was not close enough for Jiang Chen to willing surrender such a great benefit.

The graphene trading center would only be built on Coro Island, and the settlement of graphene would also be entirely done in Xin New Dollar.

Even if Coro Island does not produce one gram of graphene at all.

In addition to the graphene trade center, cloud technology projects with companies in the UA and Hua had also started. Future Group planned to build a new supercomputer center near the Future Building. It claimed that the supercomputer center would be using a supercomputer newly developed by Future Heavy Industrial. Actually, it would use quantum computers and transmit data through quantum communication satellites to provide data processing services for contracted companies.

Finally, the first batch of 100,000 Beta-4 unmanned drones arrived at the port of Los Santos and was received by the reorganized Futures Medicine. The reorganized organization was responsible for selling to major North American hospitals. Although skeptical about the drone’s medical technology, many hospitals placed a small order.

Based on the estimate that every hundred people would need a Beta-4, there would be a gap of more than three million in North America, and this figure did not considere replacement or damage! Based on this calculation, the entire North American market would be worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. It was a completely untapped market.

In the near future, major hospitals would see the benefits of the Beta-4 drone.

Even at the current stage, North American doctors’ unions, nurses’ associations, and other organizations issued protests, but when money ruled, these voices were only silenced and ignored. Just because the textile workers protested, did the steam engine stopped selling?

As for the unemployment rate in North America…

That would be the Capital’s headache, and not a problem for Jiang Chen.
