On the other side, Chen Qizhao entered the technical center under the guidance of Shen Yuhuai. There were technicians from the technical center next to him for guidance. The Shen Group had a lot of business and the technology center was divided into several parts. The place they went to was R&D department for their cooperation. Once there, the technician explained things to Chen Qizhao.

Chen Qizhao stood and listened for a while. He found that the main information point from the other person was to optimize the function of electrical appliances.

He couldn’t help frowning slightly. “There might be a problem.”

Shen Yuhuai looked at him.

Chen Qizhao explained with a few words before adding, “I heard my father say this at home.”

Shen Yuhuai said to the technician beside him. “Is the manager in charge of the project here?”

The technician Xiao Li said, “Yes, I’ll call him.”

Soon, the manager came over.

Chen Qizhao didn’t want to say it too directly. After all, there was still Shen Yuhuai next to him. He reorganized the wording. “There are several technical problems in the cooperation matter that we need to reconfirm. It isn’t just optimizing the function of electrical appliances. The foundation of a smart home is also necessary since we need to build an integrated smartphone. For example, improving the intelligence of home products through smart media such as mobile phones and computers, realizing it through voice control or smart control… have you seen the practical results of this type of project abroad?”

The manager paused after hearing the words and heard the details in them. “We know about the intelligence aspect but our department used to make small products. This is the first time we’ve come into contact with electrical appliances.”

He called up the information prepared in advance on the computer. “These can be adjusted. The plan given to us before was rather vague. President Shen said to customize the details of the cooperation after our ideas are determined.”

Chen Qizhao had a well thought out plan and this plan had a lot to do with the Chen Group itself. In the next few years, the real estate industry is destined to be affected by the market. Business expansion and seeking transformation had always been the Chen Group’s development strategy. In addition to the time bomb of Lin Shizong, he tried to let the Chen Group avoid future market risks in advance.

In his previous life, he saw the relevant plans of the Chen Group and knew that his current approach was in line with the Chen family… it was just that he knew a better and more convenient way. The timing was just right. He would use Feihong as the starting point to connect with other types of companies under the Chen Group… he would connect with building materials, decorations, sales and other businesses so as to prevent the Chen Group from having negative profits or financial problems from the real estate shock.

Chen Qizhao chatted with the manager while glancing at Shen Yuhuai from time to time. He saw that the other person wasn’t making any other movements.

He understood the situation of the plan and considered what needed to be adjusted by the person who wrote the plan. After returning, he would have to go to Feihong.

Shen Yuhuai listened carefully while his eyes rested on Chen Qizhao.

He couldn’t tell how he felt. He just always felt that Chen Qizhao was a bit different.

The manager took the adjusted plan and said, “We need to submit this to the higher ups for confirmation. Once the other details are confirmed, send your technician over to confirm it with us.”

“Okay, I will trouble you,” Chen Qizhao replied.

The moment he left, Chen Qizhao thought about other things. Then he turned around and noticed Shen Yuhuai looking at him.

He paused for a moment and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard the other person speak.

Shen Yuhuai said, “It seems that the time is a bit late. Do you want to have dinner together?”

Chen Qizhao looked at the time. It was already past 5 o’clock.

He replied positively before suddenly saying, “I used to like artificial intelligence very much.”

“You said before that you are a bit interested in computers.” Shen Yuhuai looked down at his phone before finally handing it to Chen Qizhao. “I rarely come to this place. See what you like to eat.”

Chen Qizhao was caught off guard and took the other person’s phone. Shen Yuhuai had already walked out in advance and exchanged a few words with the manager.

“Let’s go?” Shen Yuhuai asked.

Chen Qizhao followed quickly. He stood beside the other person while continuing to look at the phone. He looked for dinner targets on the somewhat confusing food app.

Shen Yuhuai glanced at him and gently pulled his elbow to bring him to Shen Yuhuai’s side. “Be careful.”

Chen Qizhao finally reacted and saw the glass wall in front of him. “I didn’t see it just now.”

The two of them walked away. Xiao Li of the technical department had just gone out when he saw a person standing at the door.

She wondered, “Director Feng, why are you here?”

“I came to take a look.” Director Feng scanned the room. “The people from the Chen Group are gone?”

Xiao Li replied, “Yes, I just left.”

She suddenly remembered something and said, “Director, are you looking for the people from the Chen Group for some reason? It hasn’t been long since they left. I can go and call them.”

“No need…” Director Feng’s eyes were slightly heavy as he looked at the end of the corridor. Then he said casually, “It won’t make a good impression. Forget it.”

He left after he finished speaking and Xiao Li had a strange expression on her face.

At this time, someone came out of the office. The manager saw her and said to Xiao Li, “Hey, don’t mention the Chen Group to Director Feng. Do you know why this project didn’t go to Director Feng but to our side?”

“Director Feng used to work in the Chen Group for a few years. Then a big accident happened in the Chen Group and Director Feng’s department had an accident. His teacher entered prison at this time and hasn’t come out yet.” The manager continued, “I don’t know what happened. Director Feng was just a small technician at the time but came to us because the department was disbanded. It is just that he always has a bad impression of the Chen Group due to his teacher.”

Shen Yuhuai and Chen Qizhao finally decided to eat Western food. Chen Qizhao continued to look through his phone after getting in the car and found that a lot of messages had accumulated on his phone.

Among them, there was the manager of the car yard. It seemed that Special Assistant Xu spoke to his person and he immediately sent a list after Chen Qizhao added him. It was a list of people Chen Qizhao could choose from to learn how to drive a car.

Chen Qizhao originally planned to understand the situation of the car yard. This car yard had been established for around 10 years. Originally, Chen Jianhong invested in the construction of a racing team and then gradually expanded when the scale grew larger. There was currently a professional team in charge of the racing drivers who went out to race. The rest were basically responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the car yard.

He learned some things through the manager. The vehicle maintenance was basically done by the masters of the car yard. He could directly lock onto these people. He had asked about the partners of the car yard. Since they maintained a racing team, the partners were all those with top-tier equipment in the industry. All parts were screened when they entered the car yard and there were basically no second-hand parts or other problems.

The scope was narrowed down at once. Based on the current information, there were no problems with the car yard itself. The problem had to be with the person who repaired the vehicles.

He shifted through the list sent by the manager and finally screened out several suspicious people. Then he anonymously sent an email along with the Sheng Ming incident.

After a while, he received a reply.

The other person sent a short [Okay] and accepted the job.

Chen Qizhao glanced over it and directly shut off the phone.

He looked out the window and suddenly saw a familiar community. This made him freeze.

After the Chen family went bankrupt in his previous life, the villa was auctioned off by the judiciary and he and Chen Shiming moved to this community.

Naturally, the house wasn’t as big as before. It was just a small place. Chen Shiming had many inconveniences in a wheelchair and he had to lower all the thresholds of the house, buy low furniture and lowered things… In the middle of the living room, there were his parents’ wedding photos and the photo frames with his childhood photos placed in the living room. It was as if his family was still living in the same space.

This was until Chen Shiming died later.

He became the only one left in the family.

The car moved fast and soon left the area of the community.

Chen Qizhao’s gaze moved further and further away before finally retracting it.

The car was quiet. Chen Qizhao no longer looked at his phone and just quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

Shen Yuhuai glanced sideways and his gaze stayed on Chen Qizhao’s face for a moment.

He retracted his gaze, saw the road sign at the intersection and changed lanes to drive in the other direction.

After around 15 minutes, Chen Qizhao keenly noticed the change in scenery outside the window and cocked his head to look at the other person. “Aren’t you driving the wrong way?”

“No,” Shen Yuhuai replied. “I changed places.”

The car didn’t drive to the city but outside the city.

Along the way, the scenery changed from high-rise buildings to trees. Then a wide scene appeared in Chen Qizhao’s field of view and he saw the sea at sunset.

Shen Yuhuai drove the car to the car yard. “Why don’t you come down and take a look?”

Chen Qizhao got out of the car. The incoming sea breeze blew and the bustle in the distance seemed to drift with the wind.

A lot of people were gathered on the beach in the distance. He could see the seaside resort in the distance.

Shen Yuhuai took him to the beach to the embankment of the beach. The cool breeze hit and the distant coastline seemed to overlap with the sunset. Chen Qizhao forgot to speak. He stepped on the beach and walked toward the sea step by step.

“I like to come here for a walk when I’m in a bad mood.”

Shen Yuhuai stared into the distance. “In particular, this place can always make people feel happy at sunset.”

Chen Qizhao instinctively said, “I’m not in a bad mood.”

Shen Yuhuai glanced at him. “I am the one in a slightly bad mood and wanted to come to the beach to relax.”

Chen Qizhao wanted to ask why Shen Yuhuai was in a bad mood when he saw the high tide coming from afar.

He involuntarily took a few steps back and watched the sea water rushing in and receding gradually.

Chen Qizhao couldn’t remember the last time he came for a trip. For him, it was a line between the company and his home. The short rest time was probably sleeping in the car with his eyes closed. The last memory of seeing the vast sea was when he was a student.

He looked down and saw the footprints on the beach. He took a few steps forward and his exhaustion seemed to be carried away by the wind.

His mind was blank, as if he didn’t need to think about anything. There was no pressure to move forward.

Shen Yuhuai stood silently behind Chen Qizhao and watched the boy head further and further toward the setting sun.

Night fell in the distance and the sunset gradually dissipated. Shen Yuhuai took out his phone and took a photo of Chen Qizhao’s back.

The face of the young man in the photo couldn’t be seen from his face. He stood in the sunset, blending into the wind and the sunset, making people feel happy.

He smiled silently, saved the photo and followed suit.

Chen Qizhao stepped on the beach and walked forward. Then he heard a bang and raised his head.

The gorgeous fireworks met the night and left a glow in the night.

Chen Qizhao involuntarily took a few steps closer and was startled by the incoming wave. He hurriedly backed away and hit Shen Yuhuai’s chest.

A low laugh came from behind him and Shen Yuhuai helped steady him. “There will be fireworks by the sea at night at the resort. Today happens to be the last day.”

Chen Qizhao turned his head and met the man’s eyes.

“I can’t see clearly on my phone. What now?”

Shen Yuhuai’s gaze stopped in the distance and his voice blew on the wind. “Isn’t it beautiful? The fireworks.”

Chen Qizhao seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
