Chapter 96 Adult toys? ? ? ? ?
After sending off the group of big shots who acted as if they had been injected with stimulants, and politely declining Liu Jianguo's suggestion to have a casual meal for an in-depth conversation, Li Jiajun threw himself heavily back into the soft boss chair in his office.
Only at this moment did his nerves, which had been stretched tight due to extreme tension, finally relax completely.
A sense of exhaustion, like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelmed him.
He looked at the empty office, recalling the chaotic scene from just moments ago that was comparable to a fish market, and the complex look in Liu Jianguo's eyes when he left, which seemed to say, 'Kid, you'd better behave yourself,' making his scalp tingle.
He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened the bank app.
That long string of numbers, which he had counted several times, lay quietly on the screen, emitting a seductive glow.
However, this money now felt a bit hot to the touch in his eyes.
'What a disaster...' he thought, speechless.
The Swarm Drone had earned him a one-hundred-million-yuan award for being a model of supporting the military.
The optical stealth car had earned him an even larger sum in technical cooperation fees.
Every time he was requisitioned, his wallet would swell, and his fame would skyrocket.
Yet, the process each time made him feel like his life was jumping back and forth on a tightrope.
The Experts from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, the big shots from the Navy, the heads of the Ordnance Group... the way these people, whom he could usually only see on the news, had rushed up as if to tear him apart, still made his back feel cold when he thought about it now.
Especially Liu Jianguo; he felt that the way that leader looked at him had changed from initially discovering a genius to guarding the number one dangerous element, full of helplessness and vigilance.
No, this absolutely cannot continue.
Li Jiajun sat up straight from the chair abruptly, the tired expression on his face replaced by a sense of determination.
Money is a good thing, but you need to be alive to spend it.
If he kept doing this a few more times, he had no doubt that Liu Jianguo would build an office right next to his factory and watch him 24 hours a day.
"High-end, precision, and advanced things are too risky and make too much noise. I will never touch them again!"
He muttered to himself, reinforcing his decision just now.
He stood up, paced back and forth in the office, his brain racing.
"I must completely transform! Completely draw a line between myself and military industry, high-end precision, and anything that could be associated with the word 'criminal'!"
What should he do?
Li Jiajun's gaze swept across the office and finally landed on the vintage globe in the corner left behind by his father.
His fingers lightly traced over it, from the Eastern Country to the Ugly Country, and then to Middle East.
The world is big, and the market is big, too. He couldn't always focus on those fields that were prone to backfiring.
He had to find a purely civilian field that was absolutely safe, absolutely reliable, and harmless to humans and animals!
A thought gradually became clear in his mind.
...
Early the next morning.
Li Jiajun gathered all the employees of the factory and held an impromptu general meeting in the factory courtyard.
The workers were still immersed in the joy of receiving the huge bonuses yesterday; they were all high-spirited, looking at the young Factory Director Li standing on the stage with eyes full of admiration.
However, they noticed that the factory director's expression was unusually serious today.
Li Jiajun cleared his throat, looked at the sea of heads below, and announced in a deep voice: "Comrades! After a night of careful consideration, I have decided that our Li Family Toy Factory is going to start its next five-year plan!"
Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the workers, he waved his hand forcefully: "Our next goal is to enter the senior toy market! We will develop a brand-new, epoch-making smart mobility scooter for the elderly!"
"I've given it a catchy name: 'elderly joy'!"
"elderly joy?"
The workers looked at each other, and the applause thinned out.
In the crowd, Wang Defa—that Master Craftsman who was the most senior and dared to speak his mind the most—couldn't help but raise his hand to ask: "Factory Director, we are a toy factory, does this... does this 'elderly joy' count as a toy?"
This question voiced everyone's inner thoughts.
Li Jiajun looked at everyone's puzzled expressions, raised an eyebrow, and retorted in a matter-of-fact tone: "It's already 'elderly joy', so how can it not be a toy? This is an adult toy!"
"Pfft—"
The workers below were stunned for a moment, then burst into roars of laughter.
The Big Smart One, manager Wang Dachui, laughed the loudest; he felt that his boss was truly talented, and this explanation was simply perfect!
Amidst the laughter, Li Jiajun nodded with satisfaction; he felt that this transformation of his was simply too wise.
...
That afternoon, Li Jiajun started a live stream again.
The live stream room was already packed with tens of thousands of Netizens who had been eagerly waiting. The ending of the second season of the Streamer's vanishing act last time had been too rushed, and they were all waiting for the Streamer to come out and give an explanation.
"family, I'm back!"
Li Jiajun faced the camera, with a look of vicissitudes and epiphany on his face, like someone who had survived a disaster.
He didn't wait for the Netizens to ask questions; he took the initiative to speak, announcing in an incomparably painful and sincere tone: "After the last incident, I deeply reflected on myself. I've realized it! I've completely realized it! Fighting and killing have no future; serving our parents' generation well is the true path!"
"Therefore, I have decided!" He enunciated each word, forcefully and sonorously, "Our Li Family Toy Factory is officially transforming! We are entering the field of adult toy products!"
"??????"
"Holy crap! Main Streamer, are you for real?!"
"Adult products? Can you say that in the live stream? Super moderator warning!"
Just as the chat was in shock, Li Jiajun changed the subject: "Ahem, I mean adult products for the elderly! That is exactly what I just mentioned—'elderly joy'!"
He explained his new plan in detail, then held up three fingers to the camera, swearing solemnly:
"family! I, Li Jiajun, will put my words here today! This new product focuses on being slow! And stable! I guarantee that even if you stomp the accelerator into the fuel tank, this car will not speed!"
"When the police officers see it on the road, they will have to give me a thumbs up and praise me as a model of safe driving in the new era!"
This solemn vow of his made the live stream room quiet for 0.5 seconds.
Immediately after, the chat exploded with astonishing intensity.
"Hahahaha! I believe in your ghost! You old rascal, you're very bad!"
"Disperse, disperse, the Main Streamer has completely turned over a new leaf; there will be no more fun to watch from now on. (Manual doge head)"
"I bet a pack of spicy strips that this 'elderly joy' will definitely be able to drive to Mars in the end!"
"The person above has a small perspective; I think it can drive straight out of the solar system!"
"Absolute Safety Season 1: Swarm Drone, annihilated an armored brigade. Absolute Safety Season 2: dragon knight no. 1, wrecked the traffic police system. Now the Season 3 teaser is here, and I'm already looking forward to it!"
"Is Uncle Liu's blood pressure medication ready? I suggest purchasing it by the ton!"
Li Jiajun looked at the screen full of mockery and teasing; the confident smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He felt that his sincere heart was being thrown on the ground and trampled repeatedly by this bunch of guys who loved to watch the chaos.
With a dark face, he finally couldn't help it and turned on his unconscious voice-over roasting mode, muttering to the air:
"Sigh, people's hearts are scattered, and it's hard to lead the team... This generation of Netizens is really hard to lead; they don't have the most basic trust, they just know how to watch the fun without fearing chaos."
"I was clearly telling the truth, from the bottom of my heart! How come no one believes me?"
"It's over, these Netizens are done for."
