114: Chapter 114 What are you all so excited about?

Zhou Fan and a few others walked into the office.

The members who had originally come from the Fanmi software development department subconsciously stood up, their gazes turning toward Zhou Fan, their eyes filled with eagerness.

"President Zhou, hello! President Lei, hello!"

"President Zhou, how do you have the free time to come see me!"

"..."

Voices rang out one after another, their tones clearly carrying a hint of eagerness, with some people's eyes shining brightly.

At this moment, Shen Congbin also walked out of his office, looking toward Zhou Fan with some curiosity, his eyes lighting up as well.

He naturally knew of Zhou Fan; the previous chip development ideas and plans had given him a great shock, and he had always wanted to meet Zhou Fan.

But during this time, this chief technology officer of Fanmi seemed very busy, and there had been no opportunity.

He hadn't expected him to suddenly come today!

"Old Shen, come here for a second!" At this time, Lin Wenwu also noticed Shen Congbin standing at the office entrance and waved with a smile.

"This is the Engineer Zhou you've always wanted to meet, the chief technology officer of Fanmi, Zhou Fan!"

Lin Wenwu introduced them briefly.

"Hello, Chief Zhou!"

"Hello, Engineer Shen!"

Zhou Fan and Shen Congbin shook hands, officially getting to know each other.

He had actually heard Shen Congbin's name several times from Lei Jun, but because he had been too busy recently, this was their first meeting.

"Engineer Zhou, what are you here for this time...?"

After the introduction, Lin Wenwu looked at Zhou Fan again, his gaze carrying a hint of expectation.

After working together for such a long time, he naturally knew Zhou Fan's personality; if there wasn't anything going on, he wouldn't have made a special trip here.

"President Zhou heard that the progress of the qiankun chip project was a bit slow, so he came to give you all a boost!"

Before Zhou Fan could speak, Lei Jun looked at Lin Wenwu with a smile and said.

"Progress is slow?"

Shen Congbin, who was to the side, was stunned for a moment, doubting if he had misheard.

He had been following the qiankun chip project from the very beginning until now, and the R&D speed was already considered very fast compared to what they had done before.

He didn't quite understand what Lei Jun meant by this, but his heart tightened involuntarily, thinking that Zhou Fan had come today to rush the progress.

However, when he saw the clear glint in Lin Wenwu's eyes, and the way the old employees of Fanmi were eager to get started.

He felt something was wrong!

"For the next week, I will be here!" Zhou Fan smiled and said.

These words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, instantly igniting the entire office.

"Really? President Zhou is going to stay!!"

"Did I hear that right? President Zhou is actually going to stay here for a week!!!"

"This happiness came too suddenly; I'm not dreaming, am I..."

"Damn it, why are you pinching me? If you want to know if you're dreaming, pinch yourself!!!"

"..."

Voices rang out one after another, and the entire office immediately erupted into a frenzy.

Shen Congbin looked at the crowd in a daze, still unable to understand why these people were so excited. Wasn't this Chief Zhou just staying for a week to supervise their work?

What was there to be happy about in that?

On the contrary, he felt increasingly nervous. Having a leader watching from the side for the next week was definitely not a happy thing for a worker, and he didn't like this feeling at all.

Thinking this, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Engineer Zhou, are you really going to stay for a week?" Lin Wenwu asked, suppressing his inner excitement and looking at Zhou Fan with shining eyes to confirm.

"Was I not clear enough?" Zhou Fan shook his head with a smile.

"No... I just wanted to confirm!" Lin Wenwu chuckled, his eyes shining even brighter.

"Alright, everyone get back to work!"

Zhou Fan waved his hand at the crowd, then turned and walked toward Lin Wenwu's office: "Engineer Lin, tell me about the progress, and Engineer Shen, come along too!"

"Alright!" Lin Wenwu was about to follow immediately, but was grabbed by Shen Congbin.

"Old Lin, what exactly is going on? What does it mean for this Engineer Zhou to stay here for a week? What exactly are you all so happy about..."

Shen Congbin finally couldn't hold it back, and asked in a low voice beside Lin Wenwu's ear.

Although he highly approved of Zhou Fan's R&D ideas and plans and thought they were the work of a genius, that was, after all, just a plan.

Specific chip R&D and design certainly cannot rely on plans alone; they require experienced engineers and programmers.

He really didn't understand why Lin Wenwu and the others were so excited when Zhou Fan said he would stay for a week.

Could it be that just by relying on this Chief Zhou alone, the project progress could advance by leaps and bounds?

"Old Shen, you'll know soon enough. Our good days are coming!"

Lin Wenwu laughed and patted Shen Congbin, who was already completely bewildered.

Thinking back to the time when they were developing the system, when Zhou Fan was there, the project progress was so fast, and working on it was so satisfying; it was practically like using a cheat code. How could he not be excited!

With Zhou Fan's addition, although it was only for a week, he was now full of confidence in the military order he had signed.

Half a year? No, if everything went smoothly, he felt five months might be enough!

If the occasion hadn't forbidden it, he would have even wanted to sing a song to express his mood!

Watching this scene, Lei Jun didn't say anything, just wore a smile.

He could understand Lin Wenwu's feelings, but his guess regarding the project's advancement time was even bolder.

Thinking back to when they weren't very familiar with each other, the first project he outsourced to Zhou Fan.

A project that clearly required several people to work on for a month was finished by Zhou Fan alone in a week. He still had a deep impression of that to this day.

Someone once said that the code Lei Jun wrote was as beautiful as a poem, but after seeing Zhou Fan's code, he was too embarrassed to brag about that anymore.

If his code could be considered poetry, it was at most modern poetry, while in his heart, Zhou Fan's code was a classic ancient quatrain!

A simple line could touch the heart!

With Zhou Fan's addition, the project that would have originally taken half a year to complete might not be finished as exaggeratedly early as his first outsourced project.

But he felt there should be no problem with it being about two months early; in this way, the half-year time would turn into four months.

The chip could start testing in May!

It could be put into mass production in June!!!

The second-generation mobile phone launch was one step closer!
