Chapter 532: She's the older sister!

"Hmm, it basically exploded."

The girl brushed her hair aside. Her voice was unmistakably that of a mature woman. She pushed up her glasses, and although she tried her best to maintain a cold and aloof posture, she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Hurry and help me find someone to redo the laboratory. I want to conduct the second experiment within three days. If nothing goes wrong, it can crush A-cards!"

A-cards? N-cards?

Zheng Qian frowned. Could she be researching Semiconductor Chip for graphics cards?

This... wasn't impossible, but current policies didn't allow for crypto mining. What was she doing?

Song Qingli looked at Zheng Qian awkwardly and said with difficulty, "Professor Ji... we... this research institute might not be able to continue operating. Didn't we say during the meeting that it was going to be shut down? People have already started leaving, sigh... And if the laboratory is severely damaged this time, you might have to pay for the damages out of your own pocket..."

Professor Ji looked displeased.

She tightly gripped her manuscript and paced around the room.

"Oops..."

She accidentally bumped into Zheng Qian's chest. She looked up suddenly and only then realized there were two other men in the room. One was cold as ice, and the other had a very strange look in his eyes, as if he were looking at an idiot.

However, Professor Ji didn't care about that!

"Oh, I was sleeping in the laboratory during the meeting. Later, they seemed to have told me about this, but I forgot. How much is the compensation this time? I'll just have my dad wire the money over. Hmm... are there any people who haven't left yet?"

"By the way, how much did you say it would cost to buy this place earlier?"

Song Qingli helplessly held her forehead.

This Professor Ji... really couldn't handle anything other than research.

Yet, her family's financial situation was actually quite good. Her dad had already spent tens of millions to clean up her messes whenever she broke something in the laboratory. He had secretly approached Song Qingli several times, insisting that she keep an eye on Professor Ji Muxi!

Professor Ji Muxi was just too wasteful!

The Ji family had some money, but no matter how rich they were, they couldn't afford such extravagance!

"It would take at least nearly ten billion. That's just the initial investment; more will be added later. Hmm... Professor Ji, I have discussed this with your father before, but he is not interested in it and hopes you can return as soon as possible."

Song Qingli sighed and said helplessly.

She had naturally thought of all the possible solutions and had gone to ask Professor Ji Muxi's father the first chance she got, but he really wasn't interested. Besides, he couldn't just pull out over ten billion like that; he simply couldn't afford it.

Upon hearing this, Professor Ji Muxi's eyebrows stood up, and she clenched her pink fists tightly.

Although she spent all her time in the laboratory, she wasn't unaware of the weight that ten billion represented.

For this research institute, her family had already invested over two billion in succession, which was already quite a lot. With the institute being shut down this time, the relevant leaders had also approached her family, and they eventually reached an agreement to part ways peacefully.

They could sell some of the valuable research in the laboratory to him at a discounted price, and in the end, both sides would leave peacefully.

In reality, this was only because Professor Ji Muxi's father had agreed for the sake of his daughter.

To him, an industrialist in traditional sectors, these research results were not worth mentioning. The two billion plus was just like money thrown into the water; as long as his daughter could come back, that was better than anything. She was already 28 years old this year; she really wasn't young anymore.

Was she going to end up marrying the laboratory in the end?

Recently, the American computer company IBM happened to contact him and was willing to buy the research data for 1.2 billion.

Well, selling it off would allow him to lose a little less money, and he was already planning to agree.

"Then... is there any other way?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Professor Ji Muxi's eyes, and she appeared extremely unwilling to give up.

Song Qingli subconsciously glanced at Zheng Qian.

"What you said just now about crushing A-cards, what does that mean? Oh, let me introduce myself. I plan to invest in this research institute and establish my own Semiconductor Chip company. You are very welcome to join when that happens."

Zheng Qian said with a smile, extending his hand.

Huh?

Professor Ji Muxi glanced at Zheng Qian suspiciously, then looked at Song Qingli.

The latter quickly said, "Um... it's like this, this is my senior, and he is currently engaged in... well, anyway, he is indeed very rich. Professor Ji, why don't you tell him about the breakthroughs you've made so far to strengthen the investor's confidence? Also, you told me last time that you were going to have some results, but I didn't quite understand..."

Song Qingli had originally wanted to introduce what Zheng Qian did along the way.

But after thinking about it, when the words reached her lips, she was suddenly stunned. She realized she didn't even know what Zheng Qian's main business was. If one were to say it was shipping, it was basically in a semi-managed state now, and he was even preparing to relocate all business lines to Jiangnan.

If one were to say real estate, he had only bought the land and hadn't done anything yet.

It was rumored that he was going to open a bank.

But she didn't know if that was just Song Yaxian being impulsive. Is a bank something you can just open on a whim?

Professor Ji Muxi hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth:

"The research institute is roughly divided into several different research groups. Some study CPU Semiconductor Chips, others study other Semiconductor Chips, and so on... I am the team leader of the AI Semiconductor Chip group. Currently, by using optical computing... I can surpass traditional Semiconductor Chips by 20 times..."

Once she started talking about professional knowledge, Professor Ji Muxi seemed like a different person.

She was full of that mature woman vibe.

Crossing her arms, she would frequently spout a bunch of technical terms that Zheng Qian couldn't understand.

This was a real mature woman; Zheng Qian could feel it. Unlike Cui Ziqing and others he had met before, she was the real deal. Perhaps because of her age, she did give him the kind of pressure that only a mature woman could exude.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly right now, her aura was absolutely spot on.

"Did you understand?"

After a long while, Professor Ji Muxi asked.

Zheng Qian really wanted to shake his head honestly; he truly hadn't understood, but he was afraid of being looked down upon.

During this time, he looked at Chen Chou a few times. He had originally thought that since Chen Chou had lived in the UK for many years, he would be clearer about these things than himself. But Chen Chou had closed his eyes early on and gave him no response at all.

What a scumbag!

Can't count on him at critical moments!

And he doesn't even know how to drive; it's infuriating!

But Zheng Qian didn't understand nothing at all. After hesitating for a moment, he pretended to be profound and said, "Then... can I understand that this Semiconductor Chip you developed can exceed the current AI Semiconductor Chips on the market from the West by 20 times?"

After saying this, he still felt terrified.

What if she hears that I'm just bluffing?

Girls, I really only understood the number 20... and AI... I really didn't understand anything else. If she finds out I'm bluffing, what if she looks down on me? But... she is a big sister, after all. The look of disdain from a big sister... is also beautiful.

"Huh? You actually understood? That's right, that's exactly what I meant."
