You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Monday arrived quickly.

Ruan Ning, Gu Mingzhou, and others went to the Jin Group together.

The tallest building in Haicheng CBD is the Jin Group building.

This is Ruan Ning's first time here.

The group entered the lobby on the first floor, where there were six people at the front desk alone.

Gu Mingzhou walked at the front, surrounded by a group of people, followed by the project team's researchers, secretary, and assistant.

The assistant went to the front desk to confirm the reservation information before the front desk allowed them to enter.

In addition to Ruan Ning and Lin Wei, there were two men and one woman among the researchers attending the meeting.

The girl was two years older than Ruan Ning and her name was Jiang Xiaoyu. She and Ruan Ning usually had a good relationship.

As the group walked toward the elevator, Jiang Xiaoyu whispered in Ruan Ning's ear, "I heard that this meeting will directly connect with the president of the Jin Group. I'm so nervous."

Ruan Ning casually asked, "What's there to be nervous about?"

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said, "The president of Jin's Group is very strict. I heard he has a nickname: 'Cold Noodles Living Yama.' Although our chip was very successful this time, I don't know if we can get past President Jin's scrutiny."

Ruan Ning: "It should be fine. Even if he's strict, our chip has received such a good response, he shouldn't make things difficult for us."

"Not necessarily. Although our chip is generally a success, there are still some minor flaws. This Mr. Jin seems to be a perfectionist. I wonder if he will point out these flaws and ask us to improve them."

"It's alright," Ruan Ning reassured her. "Don't be nervous about things that haven't happened yet."

The Jin Group sent employees to pick them up.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. I am Mr. Jin's assistant. I will take you to the conference room."

Gu Mingzhou nodded. "Okay."

The group arrived at the conference room.

A few minutes later, all the staff of the Jin Group arrived.

The Jin Group only invests; no researchers join the team. Those attending the meetings are all management personnel.

Jin Xiuhan arrived late, probably after everyone else had already arrived.

He had high brow bones and deep-set eyes. His eyes were long, narrow, and sharp. This wasn't the first time Ruan Ning had seen Jin Xiuhan, but she was still amazed by his appearance.

How can someone be so good-looking, so incredibly handsome, like Nuwa's most outstanding creation?

Behind Jin Xiuhan were a group of assistants and secretaries dressed in formal attire. He was wearing a black bespoke suit and was nearly 1.9 meters tall. He walked at the front like a crane among chickens, aloof, noble, and unapproachable.

The moment Jin Xiuhan appeared, the temperature in the entire conference room seemed to drop several degrees.

The man sat down in the main seat, his voice magnetic and cold: "Let's begin."

After that, a staff member from the Jin Group spoke and explained the meeting agenda.

Next, the staff from Gu Mingzhou's Huatian Technology team gave a work report.

As the manager of the research department and the core technology developer of this research project, Ruan Ning was the one to report on her work after the director finished speaking.

The director mainly gave a general overview of the chip's research and development and its market launch.

More detailed information needs to be explained by Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning opened the PowerPoint presentation she had prepared in advance to give her work report.

She stood on the stage, with Jin Xiuhan, who was sitting in the front seat, closest to her.

When Ruan Ning spoke, she felt a sharp and piercing gaze fixed on her, making it hard to ignore.

Ruan Ning met Jin Xiuhan's piercing eyes and felt a powerful sense of oppression.

Fortunately, she had a strong mental fortitude and solid professional knowledge, so she completed her presentation smoothly without any stumbles.

After the presentation, it's time for a Q&A session.

Jin Xiuhan was the first to speak, incisively pointing out the problem with their chip.

"The chip has been on the market for almost a month now, and you still haven't developed an improved version?" Jin Xiuhan asked in a deep voice.

Ruan Ning met his gaze and calmly replied, "President Jin, one month is not enough time to collect information on the product's problems. We plan to spend two months developing an improved version."

Jin Xiuhan said coldly, "It's already August. The brain-computer interface project will officially start next March. If you spend two months developing an improved version, and then the improved version still has problems, will you have to spend another two months?"

Ruan Ning replied, "No, Mr. Jin, please trust us. We can produce an improved chip by the end of October within two months, and it will not delay the project's progress."

Jin Xiuhan narrowed his eyes. "What makes you think I'll believe you? Just verbal promises?"

At this moment, Gu Mingzhou spoke up: "President Jin, you have seen the strength of our research team. You invested in Chenyuan Technology to develop this chip for three years without any progress, and the project ultimately ended in failure."

"But after you invested in Huatian, we developed it in less than a year."

After Gu Mingzhou finished speaking, Jin Xiuhan did not speak immediately, but gestured for him to continue.

Gu Mingzhou continued, "Actually, our research department also encountered some tricky problems in the final stage of research and development..."

As he spoke, Gu Mingzhou looked at Ruan Ning.

"If these problems had not been resolved in time, the chip's launch might have been delayed by several months or even half a year. However, our manager, Mr. Ruan, resolved these problems, which led to the successful launch of the chip."

"President Jin, you have seen the strength of Huatian Technology, but you may not be aware of Manager Ruan's capabilities."

"Manager Ruan deserves much credit for the successful development of this chip. Since she said it would take two months, please believe that she has the ability to develop an improved version of the chip within two months."

After Gu Mingzhou finished speaking, the senior executives of Jin's Group began to whisper among themselves.

"Is everything Mr. Gu said true? Manager Ruan looks so young, can he really shoulder the heavy responsibility of research and development?"

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"If Hua Tian cannot complete the development of the improved chip as promised, the progress of the brain-computer interface project will be greatly hindered. Entrusting such an important project to a young girl is too risky."

"Yes, I've never met this Manager Ruan before, and I've never even heard of him. Is he really trustworthy?"

"..."

Jin Xiuhan stared sharply at Ruan Ning, pondering for a moment.

Then, his gaze shifted to a young man in a suit and glasses sitting next to him.

The man understood and asked Ruan Ning some technical questions about the chip.

Ruan Ning answered fluently.

After hearing her answer, the man's eyes showed surprise and admiration.

He looked at Jin Xiuhan and said with delight, "President Jin, this Manager Ruan is very professional. I think you should consider her suggestion."

After speaking, Jin Xiuhan looked at Ruan Ning with a more scrutinizing gaze, his expression thoughtful.

After a moment, Jin Xiuhan said, "Alright, I'll give you two months."

Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Jin."

The meeting ended, and everyone got up to leave.

Ruan Ning also went back with Gu Mingzhou.

The president's office of the Jin Group.

Jin Xiuhan sat on the sofa, his long, straight legs casually crossed, his gaze deep and sharp. "Are you saying that Ruan Ning has real talent and ability?"

The man who had just asked Ruan Ning a question in the conference room was now sitting on the single sofa next to him.

The man replied, "Yes, the questions I asked were very professional and profound, and most researchers wouldn't be able to answer them."

"Her ability to answer this shows that she was indeed involved in the chip's development and was a key technical personnel."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiuhan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
