Chapter 35: Morning Meeting

Despite the setback in the dream validation experiment, it inadvertently opened a new avenue of opportunity, proving not to be a complete failure.

Lin Xian felt as though he had evolved from a leaf aimlessly floating down the stream to a butterfly poised to start a storm. Now, in 2022, even a subtle flutter of his wings could set off a transformative tornado 600 years in the future!

The astonishing power to traverse time and reshape the future was now within his grasp.

“Is it actually possible?” Lin Xian pondered, staring at his empty right hand before clenching it into a fist. “There’s only one way to find out.”

He shut the window, and warmth slowly reclaimed the room. Overcome by drowsiness, Lin Xian yawned. “I’ll tackle this tomorrow. Today’s Monday, and I have a morning meeting to attend.”

Switching off the light, he nestled into his bed, quickly succumbing to a deep, dreamless sleep.

The following morning, MX Company’s senior meeting room, situated on the 10th floor, bustled with the presence of over twenty mid-to-high-level executives gathered for the routine Monday morning meeting.FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com

Zhao Ying Jun, the company’s founder, mandated that all team leaders and senior managers attend these meetings to report on the prior week’s activities and strategize for the upcoming week.

Previously, Lin Xian, merely a regular employee, would not have been invited to such high-level meetings. However, now as the head of the Rhine Cat IP Development Team, he reported directly to Zhao Ying Jun and sat alongside other department heads.

At the long conference table, Zhao Ying Jun presided at the center, flanked by three vice presidents, with department heads and team leaders arrayed around. As the newest and least experienced leader, Lin Xian occupied a seat at the far end of the table.

Suddenly, Wang, the marketing team leader, slammed his hand on the table, disrupting the silence. “I disagree!”

For a brief moment, it seemed Zhao Ying Jun was alone in her decision, except for Lin Xian, who remained engrossed in his notebook. Only he and Zhao knew that Professor Xu Yun had categorically refused to sell the chemical.

Yet, hearing Professor Xu Yun’s name again sparked an idea in Lin Xian’s mind regarding his “Rewrite the Future Plan.” He remembered the professor, who had endured personal tragedies and professional skepticism but never ceased his research in cryogenics, hoping to someday revive his comatose daughter.

“Maybe I can assist Professor Xu Yun,” Lin Xian mused, eyes narrowing. He might be uniquely positioned to aid the professor. In the future, even if cryogenic technology is still emerging, there could be significant theoretical advancements.

Helping Professor Xu Yun could not only potentially save his daughter but also accelerate technological progress in the future. It was a scenario where Lin Xian’s theories could be tested: The dream world truly represents the future 600 years ahead. The butterfly effect in time is real; changes now could reshape the future. It was a win-win-win situation!

Suddenly, Zhao Ying Jun’s forceful bang of her folder on the table silenced everyone. “We needn’t discuss this further.”

She stood, asserting, “If the Rhine brand’s highlight is merely a cream, it’s not worth our focus. We aspire to establish a comprehensive beauty empire, not just sell moisturizers. Professor Xu Yun might aid us once but can’t sustain us indefinitely. We must develop our own core technologies. R&D, elevate your efforts, find our unique edge.”

“Meeting adjourned!”

With that, she strode towards the door, her heels echoing authoritatively. As she reached the doorway, she paused, the tension palpable.

She turned, her gaze sweeping across the room to the far end. “Lin Xian, come to my office.”
