Three wine glasses clinked together. The glass made a crisp, echoing sound.

The cold beer slid down my throat and into my stomach.

The atmosphere at the dinner table completely dissipated.

A dozen or so empty Corona bottles were lined up on the glass tabletop.

Li Yichen did most of the work by himself.

Two unnatural flushes rose on Liu Xiaoyu's cheeks. She had only drunk two bottles when her head tilted uncontrollably to the left, leaning against the back of the chair, her breathing becoming heavy.

opposite.

Liu Xue held up her eighth bottle of beer. She tilted her head back.

The golden liquid poured down my throat.

She tapped the empty bottle on the table. Her cheeks were only slightly flushed, her speech was still clear, and her posture remained upright.

This woman is not only a ruthless character in the business world, but also a monster at the dinner table.

Li Yichen swallowed the last sip of wine.

The bottom of the glass hit the table.

"Let's go."

He stood up.

Check out. Go downstairs.

The lobby on the first floor of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Outside the revolving door.

The night breeze carried moisture from the Huangpu River.

A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked on the side of the road.

A young man in a jacket leaned against the car door. (Liu Bing)

Seeing the three of them come out, Liu Bing stubbed out his cigarette and went to greet them.

"Sister. Brother Li."

Liu Bing greeted them and opened the passenger door.

Liu Xue let go of Liu Xiaoyu's hand.

"Mr. Li, I'm leaving Xiaoyu in your care."

Li Yichen nodded.

"Brother Li, I'll take my sister home now," Liu Bing said to Li Yichen.

Then the Mercedes-Benz G-Class started up, its exhaust pipe roared, and it merged into the traffic.

Only Li Yichen and Liu Xiaoyu remained by the roadside.

A night breeze blew by.

Liu Xiaoyu leaned on Li Yichen's shoulder.

Her hand gripped Li Yichen's suit lapel.

"Yichen".

The sound was very soft. Warm breath landed on Li Yichen's neck.

"Could you please not go back tonight?"

Li Yichen turned his head away.

The light from the streetlamp shone on Liu Xiaoyu's face.

There was hardly any drunkenness left in those eyes. They were perfectly clear.

This girl was pretending to be drunk.

In order to create an excuse for Liu Xue to leave, and also to give himself a way out.

Li Yichen has never been a haughty person.

Having said all that, it would be too pretentious to just put them in the car and send them home.

"it is good."

Li Yichen put his arm around her waist.

Turn around.

Step back into the lobby of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Front desk.

Li Yichen handed over his ID card.

"A double room."

The room fee of over two thousand yuan was deducted by card.

I received the room key.

The elevator is going up.

The hallway was covered with a thick wool carpet. Leather shoes made no sound when they stepped on it.

drop.

The door is pushed open.

Before Li Yichen could insert the card to draw power...

in the dark.

Liu Xiaoyu wrapped her arms around his neck.

Their bodies pressed tightly together.

The door slammed shut behind me.

(Imagine the scene yourself, hehe!)

……

the next day.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Li Yichen opened his eyes.

The person next to me moved.

Liu Xiaoyu sat up. The blanket had slipped halfway down.

Li Yichen's gaze fell on the pristine white bed sheets.

There was a striking red plum blossom there.

Liu Xiaoyu followed his gaze.

His face instantly turned bright red.

She grabbed the corner of the blanket and pulled it over forcefully, covering that area completely.

He curled up into a ball.

Li Yichen chuckled softly.

He threw back the covers and got out of bed.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast."

I've finished washing up.

The two finished their breakfast at the hotel's breakfast restaurant.

Li Yichen took the car keys in his hand.

"Don't go to the office today, take a day off."

Liu Xiaoyu shook her head.

"No. Sister Liu still has a few data reports that I need to check. I have to go."

She is very stubborn.

Li Yichen didn't try to persuade him any further.

The black U8 drove out of the underground parking garage.

They escorted Liu Xiaoyu to the entrance of Liu's Pharmacy Building.

I watched her walk through the glass revolving door.

Li Yichen stepped on the electric switch.

The car headed towards the Future Technology Building.

Half an hour later.

Future Technology Building.

This 32-story office building began full-scale renovations more than two months ago.

The project is now more than halfway complete.

The turnstiles in the lobby on the first floor are already in use.

Li Yichen entered by scanning his face.

The head office has expanded to four or five hundred people.

The office areas on floors 24 to 28 are all full.

The elevator goes directly to the 32nd floor.

Ding.

The elevator doors slid open to both sides.

The entire 32nd floor was completely empty.

There are no workstations, no partitions.

Only load-bearing columns and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

The floor is covered with anti-static flooring. The central air conditioning ducts on the ceiling are all exposed and painted with silver-gray anti-rust paint.

This place is big enough.

The Tianhe-3 supercomputer's cabinet is enormous, and with the addition of a liquid cooling system and backup power supply, it has extremely high requirements for load-bearing capacity and space.

This entire floor is just enough.

Twenty-eighth floor.

CEO's Office.

Ji Yanran was looking down at Future New Energy's financial statements.

There was a knock on the door.

The assistant pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Ji, the boss is here. He's on the thirty-second floor."

Ji Yanran put down the pen in her hand.

The boss is here?

She stood up and walked out of the office in her high heels.

Take the dedicated elevator to go up.

Thirty-second floor.

Ji Yanran stepped out of the elevator.

I saw Li Yichen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking around the empty floor.

"Boss."

Ji Yanran walked over.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the company?"

Li Yichen turned around.

"What are you saying? You all go about your business. I just came to check out the venue."

He pointed to the anti-static floor beneath his feet.

"Yanran".

"A supercomputer will be delivered from above in a few days."

"I plan to place it on this floor. What do you think?"

Ji Yanran was stunned.

The high heels stopped on the anti-static floor.

Supercomputing?

Those two words hit her ears.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

As the CEO of Future Technology, she is all too familiar with the company's current business structure.

Battery research and development, pharmaceutical investment.

Which one requires a supercomputer?

That equipment is standard equipment in national-level laboratories. It costs hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan to build, and the annual electricity and maintenance costs are astronomical.

This is something that private enterprises should absolutely not get involved in.

What's even more terrifying is the word the boss used—"sent over from above."

All the supercomputers in China are either owned by the military or at the national supercomputing center. You can't buy them even if you have the money.

What exactly did this person offer the country in exchange for? How could the higher-ups directly place such a crucial national asset into this privately owned office building?

"Boss."

Ji Yanran's vocal cords tightened.

"What did you say? Supercomputing?"

She took half a step forward.

"Where did this supercomputer come from? Our company currently has no projects that require supercomputing."

Li Yichen had one hand in his trouser pocket.

He stared at Ji Yanran's blank face.

This reaction was exactly what he expected.

"I have my own purpose."

Li Yichen's pronunciation was steady.

"Don't worry about the supercomputing for now."

"Tell me, can the load-bearing capacity and power supply keep up with this thing being placed on this floor?"

Ji Yanran swallowed hard.

She forcefully suppressed the horror in her mind.

My worldview was completely reshaped at that moment.

Working with this man means you never know what shocking thing he'll pull out next.

His gaze swept across the empty floor.

"There is enough space."

Ji Yanran regained her professional skills.

"During the initial renovation, all floors above the 28th floor underwent industrial-grade load-bearing reinforcement. The electrical system also features an independent dual-circuit power supply."

"Placing it in the supercomputing facility is perfectly suitable."

Li Yichen nodded.

"That's fine then."

He turned to look out the window.

The buildings across the Huangpu River gleamed with a cold, hard light under the sunlight.

Tell the people at the renovation company.

Li Yichen tapped his finger on the glass.

"Within three days, lay all the liquid cooling pipes and high-voltage cables on this floor."

Ji Yanran stood behind him.

I watched the man's back.
