It was noon when I fell asleep, and it was already early morning when I woke up.

When Zhang Zhai opened his eyes in confusion, Dabai had disappeared.

Zhang Zhai should have had a headache and drowsiness when he went back to sleep after staying up late. Instead, he felt that he woke up naturally after being full of sleep.

Zhang Zhai sat up and got out of bed.

"Father, while you were sleeping, Hua Menglian sent a message informing you to attend the press conference tomorrow morning." A1's voice sounded at the right time.

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Zhai was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. Hua Menglian couldn't act recklessly.

"Reply her and tell her that I already know and will attend on time."

"Okay, father, I have replied."

Zhang Zhai nodded and said no more.

"Gulu gulu..."

Zhang Zhai rubbed his stomach. No matter how powerful he was, he was still a human being and would be hungry.

He didn't hesitate, the growling in his stomach urged him to go to the canteen of Xihe headquarters.

There are a total of eight canteens in the Xihe headquarters campus, each in eight directions, and they are named after the directions, such as East Canteen, Northeast Canteen, and Northwest Canteen.

At this time, Zhang Zhai went to the Western Canteen because this canteen was closest to his laboratory.

The cafeteria is very spacious and has three floors. The first floor has a Chinese buffet and Chinese stir-fries, the second floor has a Western buffet, and the third floor has quiet private rooms.

The first and second floors are provided free of charge to company employees. The buffet dishes are rich in color and aroma, and they have hired star-rated professional chefs. In this regard, Xihe Technology is better than any company's canteen.

Zhang Zhai was going to the private room on the third floor of the Western Canteen at the moment, not because of how delicious the food on the third floor was, but simply because it was quiet.

In addition to free meals for Xihe Technology employees, the first and second floors also provide meals for tourists for a fee.

As the Zhai City project progresses, more and more tourists come to visit.

At the moment, except for the eight canteens of Xihe Technology, there is no other place to eat in Zhai City.

So every time it’s mealtime, the first and second floors of the eight canteens will be filled with people.

If Zhang Zhai appears and is discovered, we don't know what kind of commotion it will cause.

Therefore, he could only go to the third floor.

Went up to the third floor and went directly into the private room.

Of the three people who were protecting him today, two stood at the door, and one followed him into the private room and stood beside and behind him.

He casually ordered something suitable for breakfast, but Zhang Zhai didn't ask the 'spider' behind him to eat with him.

It's not that he hasn't tried it, it doesn't work at all.

Each of these guys was more stubborn than the last, so Zhang Zhai had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Zhai drank a glass of milk and was about to quietly finish the fried eggs in front of him when suddenly a familiar voice came from outside.

"Professor Wang, you're welcome, but it's not that I don't want you to see Mr. Zhang. It's just that he doesn't have time. So, let me talk to Mr. Zhang..."

"Hey... okay then, I..."

"Come in, I'm in private room 1."

Zhang Zhai's sensitive ears clearly heard the conversation outside.

One of them should be Hua Menglian, so Zhang Zhai simply called out to stop them.

A few seconds after Zhang Zhai finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.

One person pushed the door open and came in, followed closely by another person. Zhang Zhai raised his head and saw that the person who pushed the door in was Hua Menglian, wasn't it?

However, there was another person standing next to her. This was an old man who looked to be about sixty years old. He was dressed simply, wearing an off-white shirt on his upper body and black casual trousers on his lower body.

If you just look at his clothes, he looks like an ordinary old man.

But those eyes that were somewhat cloudy but still firm, the politeness, and the right movements made people realize that this old man was very cultivated and had a refined temperament, which attributed him to a scholar.

"Hello, Professor Wang."

Zhang Zhai stood up and stretched out his hands.

Regardless of age or anything else, Professor Wang deserves his respect.

"Mr. Zhang! I finally see you!" The moment Professor Wang saw Zhang Zhai, he was a little excited and also stretched out his hands.

Holding both hands together, Zhang Zhai could feel that Professor Wang's hands were trembling slightly.

"I just heard that Professor Wang seemed to want to talk to me about something?" Zhang Zhai said straight to the point.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, there are some questions that I have always wanted to ask you in person, mainly about nanowire batteries." Professor Wang said with some excitement.

"Professor Wang, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Zhang Zhai glanced at the half-bitten omelette, and then at Professor Wang, who was so excited that he seemed to be spewing out tens of thousands of questions.

I sighed in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this breakfast.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still respectfully asked Professor Wang to sit down.

At this time, Hua Menglian also opened her mouth and gave a simple explanation.

"Mr. Zhang, Professor Wang is the world's top expert in the field of new battery research. He has published many papers and led the team to do a lot of innovative research on new batteries. He is now the head of the Xihe New Battery Research Laboratory."

Zhang Zhai finally understood that Professor Wang turned out to be the leader of Xihe's research team in the battery field.

As soon as Hua Menglian finished speaking, before Zhang Zhai could speak, Professor Wang sighed with emotion: "How can I be called an expert in front of Mr. Zhang?"

"Originally, I thought that even if Mr. Zhang was talented, it was just a fluke that he could make solid-state lithium-ion batteries. But when I saw the research information on nanowire batteries yesterday, I felt that I was a ridiculous frog in the well.

Mr. Zhang, your idea is bold! Innovative! Yet realistic! It is simply miraculous! A genius-like idea!" Professor Wang sighed with emotion.

"I just feel like I've been living in a dog's belly for so long."

Zhang Zhai had heard this kind of praise many times, but this kind of praise from fellow scientists still made him feel comfortable.

"Professor Wang, you are so grateful," Zhang Zhai said with a smile on his face, hypocritically modest.

"Professor Wang, if you have any questions, just ask them. If I can answer them, I will definitely answer them."

"Mr. Zhang, I got your nanowire battery research information yesterday. I read it all night, but there are some parts that I still can't understand, such as here..." Professor Wang was not polite and asked straight to the point.

Zhang Zhai smiled when he heard the question. It was not that the question he asked was too stupid, but that he hit the right point.

"About this issue, it is actually one of the difficulties of nanowire batteries. I only have a simple idea about this issue..."

…

Next to her, Hua Menglian felt helpless when she saw Zhang Zhai and Professor Wang chatting as if no one was watching.

…

And just when Zhang Zhai and Professor Wang were chatting excitedly about nanowire batteries.

The atmosphere at Rotten Apple Company in the United States is a bit tense.

"What did you say? They lowered the price of solid-state batteries to 100 yuan?" Cook shouted angrily.

"Yes, Mr. Cook, are we going to follow the price reduction now?"

"Asshole! Are you stupid for lowering the price? 100 yuan is not even enough for the cost!" Cook scolded.

"Now, how should we respond..."

"Do you want me to teach you how to deal with it? Since we have the same performance now, let's sell the brand. With the Rotten Apple sign, a brick can be sold for two hundred dollars."

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Cook."

The matter was temporarily resolved, but Cook still had a headache.

Companies buy the most batteries, and those companies don't care whether a bad apple is bad or not.

"Damn! One hundred yuan, aren't they afraid of losing the company?" Cook gritted his teeth angrily.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Xihe Technology's solid-state battery costs far less than 100 yuan.

Little does he know, this is just the beginning, the fatal blow is yet to come.
