214: Chapter 215 Preparation for the Neuro-Sensing Prosthetic Limb!

Li Jian paused, then smiled honestly, assuming Jiang Jing was wishing him more good orders in the future and a better life.

He nodded vigorously: "I'll take your kind words! That's it then, Brother Jiang, I've got an order, I have to go deliver it, talk later!"

"Alright, talk later, watch out on the road." Jiang Jing nodded.

Li Jian got back on his electric scooter, secured his crutch, and hurriedly went off to deliver his order.

Jiang Jing stood where he was, watching Li Jian's back merge into the traffic, his gaze deep.

He focused his mind into the System Store and found the [Neural Induction Prosthetics].

"System, redeem the technology for one set of [Neural Induction Prosthetics]." He muttered in his heart.

[Ding! Redemption successful!]

A massive stream of knowledge, like a sudden enlightenment, instantly flooded into his mind—materials science, neuroengineering, precision mechanical manufacturing, biological signal sensing and decoding...

He slowly exhaled, his eyes becoming even more determined.

"It seems I need to add another business sector to Xingchen Technology." A smile curled at the corners of Jiang Jing's mouth; this wasn't for the money, but simply because he wanted to do it...

Thinking of the company, he naturally thought of that beautiful housekeeper who managed the company in an orderly fashion and possessed outstanding ability.

It seemed he hadn't contacted her for a few days; he wondered if she missed her "hands-off" boss.

He took out his phone, found Jiang Yan's number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly, and Jiang Yan's familiar voice came through the receiver: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Hearing this business-like tone, Jiang Jing couldn't help but want to tease her.

He deliberately used a lazy tone: "Beautiful Jiang, does a boss necessarily have to have official business to call his excellent employee? Can it not be... simply missing you and wanting to chat?"

There was a clear two-second silence on the other end, followed by a huff that carried a hint of shy annoyance:

"Boss, stop joking with me, don't I know you? You should be out having fun with some actress right now, why would you suddenly think of a nobody like me for no reason?"

Her tone carried a hint of faint resentment and jealousy.

Jiang Jing was choked up by her words, as if he could imagine Jiang Yan's somewhat resentful appearance.

He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, chuckling dryly: "How could that be! Jiang Yan, you really hurt my feelings saying that."

"They are them, and you are you. You are my right-hand man, Jiang Jing's right-hand woman. Xingchen Technology is able to run so smoothly all thanks to you, the great housekeeper, strategizing behind the scenes. How could you be a nobody?"

"Your position in my heart is unique and irreplaceable!"

His words were half-truth and half-false; his skills in coaxing women were already maxed out.

It seemed the eloquence rewarded by the system was all being used by Jiang Jing to "coax naive girls." Fortunately, the system wasn't human, or it would have been angered to death.

Sure enough, Jiang Yan's breathing on the other end seemed to falter. Although she tried hard to maintain a calm tone, it clearly softened significantly, even carrying a hint of undisguised shyness: "Boss... you only know how to say sweet things to coax people... I don't believe you..."

"Heaven and earth be my witness! I, Jiang Jing, swear on the lamp!" Jiang Jing vowed solemnly.

Then he changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious: "However, let's talk business. The reason I'm calling this time is that there really is an important matter I need you to handle."

As soon as Jiang Yan heard there was business, she immediately entered work mode. The little girl-like demeanor from just moments ago vanished instantly, and her voice returned to its previous capable tone: "Please speak, Boss."

"I need you to immediately scout for a suitable factory building, the area needs to be large."

"At the same time, start recruiting a batch of experienced technical workers, ones who have operated precision instruments and the like." Jiang Jing instructed methodically.

Jiang Yan quickly took note, without asking for the reason, and directly replied: "Alright, Boss. Are there any preferred areas for the factory location?"

"You decide the area, as long as the transportation is convenient. For the personnel, start recruiting based on the scale of a small precision manufacturing plant..."

"Alright, Boss. I will start preparing immediately." Jiang Yan answered crisply.

"Hmm, I'm relieved to leave it to you, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Jing didn't forget to add one more sentence at the end: "Right, Jiang Yan, handle this urgently; consider it... a high-priority project."

"Understood! Please rest assured, Boss!" Jiang Yan's tone carried a hint of solemnity.

Ending the call, Jiang Jing sent the equipment and materials that would be needed to Jiang Yan.

After doing all this, he felt he had accomplished a major task, and his mood was much lighter.

Checking the time, it was about time to return to the hotel. He wondered if Nazha had woken up yet.

He strolled leisurely back to the hotel and swiped his card to enter the presidential suite.

There was no one in the living room, and the bedroom door was ajar.

Jiang Jing pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Nazha was already up. She was wearing a silk bathrobe, leaning lazily against the headboard, holding her phone. On the screen was clearly a multi-person video chat interface.

From it came the chattering, crisp, and pleasant sounds of women, lively and bustling.

"...Wow! Nazha, your complexion is so good! It feels like your skin is glowing. Is the water and soil of Shanghai so nourishing?" This was Zhu Xudan's voice, carrying a bit of innocence and envy.

"Give it a rest," Da Mimi's unique voice rang out, "It's not the water and soil that nourishes, it's clearly... being nourished by love, right?"

"Nazha, be honest, did someone 'work overtime' very late yesterday?"

Da Mimi's tone was full of teasing and ambiguity.

"Sister Mi! You... what are you talking about!" Nazha's face turned bright red instantly, and she pouted coquettishly at the screen. But her eyes were filled with spring, and the smile at the corners of her mouth was practically a confession.

"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like I guessed right."

Tong Liya's voice also carried a smile, "Nazha, this isn't very nice of you. Didn't we agree to stand united against outsiders? Yet you went and ate alone secretly."

Leng Ba's voice also chimed in, her tone sour: "Exactly! I was worried that he was alone in Shanghai without anyone to take care of him, hmph! Turns out he had Nazha 'taking care' of him so well personally!"

She bit down particularly hard on the word "taking care."

Li Xibing and Zhu Xudan seemed not to have fully reacted yet.

At this moment, Nazha looked up and happened to see Jiang Jing pushing the door open. To divert attention, she quickly said to the phone: "Ah! He... he's back!"

On the other end of the video call, the screen suddenly shook, as if several heads had crowded close to the screen, wanting to see more clearly.
