Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Three days after Catherine's wedding, the families from both sides left, and Lanai Island welcomed another celebration as the Aurora Group's annual meeting was held.

In fact, in terms of the number of attendees, the number of people attending Aurora Group's annual meeting was less than the number attending Catherine's wedding.

Although Aurora Group is now a behemoth, the various companies that were later acquired only brought in some managers.

The most complete group that came this time was Chen Yiran's loyal followers, FlowEDA. Everyone was present, even the company's cleaning lady was brought along.

The annual meeting didn't have any lucky draws or PowerPoint presentations showcasing the company's achievements this year. It was just a bunch of celebrities performing and having a blast.

When Chen Yiran takes action, he naturally invites top-tier celebrities.

The lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone on him. Bruno Mars was the first to appear, walking onto the stage with his guitar.

As Billboard's Artist of the Year in 2013, he was originally Chen Yiran's first choice to invite to sing the wedding song for Catherine. Bruno Mars' "Marry You" is currently the most popular wedding march.

However, because Bruno Mars was more popular, they couldn't schedule an appointment and had to choose someone else. But they'd only just gotten married, so it wasn't too late to listen now. Emily jumped around excitedly, making Chen Yiran heartbroken once again that such a good catch had been snatched up by another good catch.

The lineup that followed was impressive, with Taylor Swift being the second to perform. She looked quite young at the time and sang her hit songs "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble," which had swept the globe that year.

Rihanna, P!nk, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Adele took to the stage in turn. Their various hit songs excited the staff in the audience.

The final act was the Black Eyed Peas, handpicked by Chen Yiran.

This wasn't Chen Yiran's first choice either. He originally wanted to invite Metallica, but there was no way to do so. These old guys had just finished their Antarctic concert, and several men in their fifties said they simply didn't have the energy for the long journey. They were a heavy metal band, and they couldn't perform without the stamina.

Unfortunately, Chen Yiran ultimately chose the Black Eyed Peas. However, the Black Eyed Peas are an incredibly powerful group, in no way inferior to Metallica. Their songs will still be relevant even in 2026.

The Black Eyed Peas are undoubtedly the greatest band of this era, without a doubt. They also have another characteristic: they are exceptionally extravagant. Even the ordinary songs on their albums are enough to be hit singles for other artists.

"The END" is the most important era in the history of pop music in the late 2000s, the commercial and cultural pinnacle of global pop music in the 2000s, and a landmark album for the mainstreaming of electronic music.

Furthermore, it achieved the incredible feat of having 3 number-one hits and 5 Top 10 songs from a single album. Tracks like "Boom Boom Pow," "I Gotta Feeling," "Imma Bee," "Meet Me Halfway," and "Rock That Body" are all top-tier.

"Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling" even dominated the Hot 100 for 26 consecutive weeks, the longest record in Billboard history.

At Chen Yiran's insistence, the Black Eyed Peas had the longest performance time, singing all of their famous songs.

"Where Is The Love" "Shut Up" "Don't Phunk With My Heart" "Don't Lie" "My Humps" "Pump It" "Let's Get It Started"

Chen Yiran thoroughly enjoyed the song, and as it was nearing its end, he walked onto the stage to the beat of the music.

"Thanks to the Black Eyed Peas for their performance; they've been my favorite singers in recent years. Of course, after the party, we need to get down to business. Today is Aurora Group's annual meeting, which is basically a place for everyone to relax and unwind."

However, I have something to announce today.

As everyone knows, the foundation of Aurora Group is FlowEDA, which was also my starting point in Silicon Valley. We started in the EDA industry and have gradually come to where we are today.

Later, I founded Aurora and merged various companies into it, but I have never forgotten everyone's hard work and support during FlowEDA's startup period.

When we opened, we only had eleven people, plus Pidan. Now, we have become the strongest EDA company, and we will become the strongest AI company and the strongest robotics company.

So, it's time to give back to everyone. I'm announcing that all employees of Aurora Group will receive an extra six months' salary this year.

And for FlowEDA employees, there's an extra surprise waiting for you—a personal gift from me.

TED and his son Wang Zhiwu, who had been waiting in the audience for half a day, began to organize their legal team and started sending out envelopes by name.

Almost everyone who received the envelope was shocked and then screamed.

Inside the envelope was a rather formal stock document from Aurora Group.

Although the quantity is incredibly small, less than one ten-thousandth, it is still extremely high considering the current inflated valuation of Aurora Group.

Moreover, Chen Yiran did not leave anyone out; the shares were allocated according to the employees' seniority and position, not even the cleaning lady was left out.

The company's cleaning staff were all hired when Chen Yiran first changed the company address. Mainly for confidentiality, the job was not outsourced.

The dozen or so people were all Mexicans, actually a large family. They used to run a cleaning company, and because they did a good job of mowing Chen Yiran's lawn, Chen Yiran took them under his wing.

They were the most enthusiastic, almost kneeling before Chen Yiran. Catherine quickly went over to persuade them. These were her trusted subordinates; for a long time, these dozen or so were the only people she, as the vice president, could truly command.

Of the company's eleven founders, all but Wang Xue who left midway through the process received an envelope and were very excited after reading it.

Gao Dewei wasn't particularly concerned at first, because he already owned shares in FlowEDA. Although those shares were diluted more than tenfold after being merged into Aurora Group, they were still a significant number. However, he was still shocked after opening the envelope.

His resolve hardened once more. So what if the boss had a bit of a villainous streak? That was no big deal. With this money, even if some righteous hero appeared, he'd take care of it for the boss. Finally, he had enough money to buy a large plane. Boeing or Airbus, that was the question.

Finally, Chen Yiran took out a small envelope and hung it around Pidan's neck, since employee number 000 also needed some stock rewards.

The annual meeting ended in this crazy atmosphere. Before leaving, Chen Yiran made a special note that everything that happened tonight was no secret and encouraged the employees to post it on Twitter to make others envious.

That day, the whole world was talking about Chen Yiran's extravagant spending. The incident became headline news on the internet in various countries, and some people even used it to satirize their own companies. The number of resumes received by Aurora Group's various branches doubled that day.

Chen Yiran ignored the online commotion; he was finally leaving his island to run errands. Since Xiao Ping'an was born, he had spent almost all his time on Lanai Island, and everyone who wanted to see him would make a special trip to visit him.

But this time he had to take matters into his own hands. He needed to create momentum at TSMC and completely integrate TSMC into Aurora's production lineup.
