Cheng Cheng and the Cicada
Chapter 35 Morning Meeting
It unexpectedly uncovered a new path, so it's not a loss.
Lin Xian felt that from this moment on, he had transformed from a drifting leaf into a butterfly flapping its wings.
A flap of his wings in 2022 could create a world-changing tornado 600 years later!
This power to transcend time and rewrite the future was unexpectedly in his own hands.
"Is it really possible?"
Lin Xian looked at his empty right hand and clenched his fist.
"I'll know once I try."
After closing the window, the room gradually warmed up.
Lin Xian yawned.
Sleepiness returned.
"I'll sleep first and think about it tomorrow. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to attend the morning meeting."
Lin Xian turned off the light and climbed back into bed.
He slept soundly without any dreams.
...
The next day, morning.
The high-level conference room on the 10th floor of MX Company was filled with more than twenty mid-to-high-level company cadres.
At MX Company, a morning meeting is routinely held every Monday morning.
Zhao Yingjun stipulates that all team leaders and senior leaders must attend the morning meeting to report on the past week's work and discuss plans for the new week.
In the past, Lin Xian was just an ordinary clerk and certainly not qualified to attend such high-level meetings.
But now it's different.
As the team leader of the Rhine Cat IP development team, he is at the same level as the heads of various formal departments and is directly managed by Zhao Yingjun, so he naturally has to attend this morning meeting.
Sitting at the end of the conference table was Zhao Yingjun; the three vice presidents were on both sides; and then the heads and team leaders of each department sat in turn.
As the youngest and least experienced team leader, Lin Xian's position was naturally ranked last.
Bang!
Team leader Wang of the marketing team slammed the table and stood up.
"I disagree!"
"President Zhao! Our Rhine brand launch is almost entirely betting on Professor Xu Yun! How can we say give up just like that!?"
"Now, all cosmetic companies in the world are vying for Professor Xu Yun's authorization. Since everyone hasn't managed to get Professor Xu Yun yet, we still have a chance! How can we give up so early?"
...
The marketing team leader's words silenced the entire conference room, and everyone timidly looked at Zhao Yingjun, who had just announced the news.
Lin Xian propped his chin and twirled his pen, remaining silent.
Just now, after all the team leaders reported on their work last week, Zhao Yingjun announced an important decision—
The first product of the Rhine brand will abandon the previously planned "Professor Xu Yun Moisturizing Cream Program" and instead develop a new product line.
This caused an uproar, and everyone was shocked. Even the three high-ranking vice presidents... exchanged glances, looking incredulous.
The "Professor Xu Yun Moisturizing Cream Program" is the plan that the entire company has been preparing and planning for in recent months.
The content of the plan is to find a way to convince Professor Xu Yun to obtain the authorization for that magical chemical substance, and then use this chemical substance to create an epoch-making moisturizing cream product, which will be used as the first product of the Rhine brand launch, and subvert the entire cosmetics market in one fell swoop.
Everyone has been busy with this for the past few months, and a lot of preliminary work has been done on this basis.
Everyone firmly believes that once Professor Xu Yun's authorization is obtained, this new type of moisturizing cream will definitely sell well all over the world, and monopolizing the moisturizing market is only a matter of time.
However, Zhao Yingjun just said that she would give up so lightly, and did not say any specific reasons, which really made everyone unable to accept it.
However, MX Company is a sole proprietorship founded by Zhao Yingjun, and she has the right to make decisions alone, and everyone dares to be angry but dares not speak out.
Only the marketing team leader, who has always been outspoken, and is also a founding member of MX Company, dared to jump out and oppose Zhao Yingjun.
"Without the magical chemical substance invented by Professor Xu Yun, what will our Rhine brand compete with others? Just rely on that cute Rhine Cat? Then we might as well directly transform into a toy company!"
The marketing team leader slammed the table, filled with righteous indignation.
But it can be heard that he is also thinking about the interests of the company and has no malice.
Everyone nodded slightly, feeling that what he said made sense.
The three vice presidents also smiled and echoed:
"President Zhao, why don't you... reconsider?"
"If Professor Xu Yun thinks the money is too little, we can add more chips! We will definitely earn it back!"
"Yes, yes! As long as we get Professor Xu Yun's authorization, it will be equivalent to monopolizing the global moisturizing skin care market! Such a rich return should be gambled on!"
...
For a time.
Zhao Yingjun seemed to be the target of public criticism.
Everyone stood on the opposite side of her.
Except for Lin Xian.
At this time, Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the notebook in front of him.
The reason for giving up Professor Xu Yun... was only clear to him and Zhao Yingjun.
Professor Xu Yun has made it clear that he will never sell this chemical substance.
However...
Hearing the name Professor Xu Yun again did provide Lin Xian's [Rewrite the Future Plan] with a new idea.
Lin Xian turned the pen in his hand, recalling the slightly sloppy and meticulous man.
Professor Xu Yun's parents have both passed away, his wife died of amniotic fluid embolism, and his only daughter was lying in the hospital as a vegetable, powerless and waiting to die...
In order to send his daughter to the future for medical treatment through hibernation, he devoted himself to the research of hibernation pods alone, and never gave up even if he was betrayed and ridiculed by all scholars.
Over the years, only Chu Shanhe has been silently funding Professor Xu's research.
"Perhaps, I can help Professor Xu Yun."
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes...
He may be the only person in the world who can help Professor Xu Yun.
In the future world 600 years later, perhaps the hibernation pod has not yet been successfully developed, but have there been any breakthroughs in some basic theories?
If Professor Xu Yun can make some achievements and become the first person in hibernation research to be remembered in history, and start hibernation technology hundreds of years in advance...
Then, not only will Professor Xu's daughter have a chance to wake up.
What's more, it can make the technological level in the dream world undergo a qualitative leap, the world will change greatly, and confirm the previous two inferences—
[1. The dream world is the real future world 600 years later.]
[2. The space-time butterfly effect exists, and you can rewrite the future 600 years later by changing reality.]
Kill three birds with one stone!
Bang!
Zhao Yingjun slammed the folder on the table, and the audience was silent.
"This matter does not need to be discussed any further."
She stood up.
"If the Rhine brand only has a moisturizing cream that can be used, then it is better not to make this brand."
"What we want to do in the future is a full-fledged beauty brand, not just a moisturizing product. Can Professor Xu Yun help us once, and can he help us a second time? It takes a good blacksmith to make good steel, and I hope the colleagues in the R&D department will work hard to come up with our own core competitiveness."
"Okay, meeting adjourned!"
Zhao Yingjun turned around neatly and walked towards the door of the conference room with the clatter of her high heels.
She stopped at the door.
Everyone held their breath again!
Everyone could see that Zhao Yingjun was very angry! I don't know who will be the next unlucky person and punching bag.
Zhao Yingjun turned her head and looked at the farthest position from her in the conference room.
"Lin Xian, come to my office."
