"Mmm," Hu Qian nestled against Zhao Qiang's chest, gently kissing his skin. Her full breasts pressed tightly against his chest, making Zhao Qiang feel so comfortable. "I'm so tired. I'll sleep for a while and get some rest before staying up with you to celebrate the New Year."
Zhao Qiang nodded. Hu Qian was indeed extremely exhausted. She tilted her head and quickly fell asleep on Zhao Qiang's body. Zhao Qiang gently placed her on the pillow, then got dressed and sat in front of the computer. At this moment, the melody of "In the Spring" just started playing.
"Perhaps one day, when I am old and destitute, please let me remain in that time."
Actually, this song didn't really resonate with Zhao Qiang's current mood. With his advanced technology, he wouldn't be destitute in his old age. But why did Zhao Qiang feel so empty inside, as if he had lost something most precious? Sitting in front of his computer, he suddenly burst into tears. Wei, Wei, who had once been Zhao Qiang's pillar of support, hadn't returned! If one day I quietly depart, please bury me in this spring...
"I left quietly." These words completely shattered Zhao Qiang's mental defenses. Wei had left quietly and there had been no news of her since. Although Zhao Qiang would continue to repair the chip as long as the energy was guaranteed, he had not received even the slightest response. Zhao Qiang even began to despair. Had Wei really sacrificed herself to save him?
Recalling the letter Wei left him, Zhao Qiang began to softly sing: "Gently I will leave you, please wipe away the tears from your eyes." In the days without you, I will cherish myself more; in the years without me, please take care of yourself. You ask me when I will return home, and I softly ask myself the same question. If not now, I don't know when, but I think it will probably be in winter.
Zhao Qiang, tears streaming down his face, clutched his notebook: "Wei, it's already winter, spring is almost here, why haven't you come back? I can never be truly happy without you. Have you forgotten that you were supposed to help me with repairs? Although it's not a glorious profession, I will dedicate my life to it. Come back, I will never let you get hurt again."
Hot tears dripped onto the laptop keyboard. The screen suddenly flickered, and Zhao Qiang's eyes immediately registered it. "Wei? Wei, is that you?" Zhao Qiang dared not raise his voice too much, afraid of disturbing Hu Qian who was sleeping. Although she was already his woman, it was better not to let her know Wei's secret. As for Liu Yiyi knowing this secret, it was entirely out of necessity. Besides, she might not even know what happened on the day Zhao Qiang was resurrected.
"Brother, you're making me so sad. Okay, okay, I won't play hide-and-seek with you anymore. We'll still do repairs together from now on. Don't cry." A five- or six-year-old girl's image slowly appeared on the screen, her voice clear and melodious.
Zhao Qiang quickly wiped away his tears: "Who are you?" Zhao Qiang, who was used to the appearance, could not recognize the intelligent device in front of him.
Ruhai spun around on the screen twice, wearing a plain white dress. "Brother, don't you like me like this? My intelligence has evolved, so I can break through the original limitations and change my appearance to be like a human."
"Are you really Wei?" Zhao Qiang finally understood; there couldn't possibly be two of him. His sincerity had finally moved Heaven—Wei was safely back! His tireless efforts to repair the golden chip over the past few days hadn't been in vain.
"Yes, how about I stick with the original cat look? You're more used to that."
"No." Zhao Qiang hurriedly stopped him, wiping away the tears that had fallen during his emotional performance. Zhao Qiang said, "It's good that you're a girl, hehe. Won't you grow up slowly? It's good that Wei is finally back. Zhao Qiang can finally put his mind at ease. From now on, he can do what he wants without any worries. As for her image, a more humanized one is easier for him to accept."
Wei pouted her pink lips and said, "Of course I will! The more thoroughly I research the maintenance of this world, the deeper the intelligence evolution will be. Maybe one day when the conditions are right, I will be able to create a body in the outside world and eventually live like a human. I'll give you a surprise then, brother!"
Zhao Qiang was astonished: "There's actually such powerful technology?"
Wei said, "This is nothing. The repair machine I used to work on had all sorts of modification programs, I just can't remember them all. But after this upgrade, I can figure out how to write modification programs myself. We don't lack time; we can do the preliminary work step by step, and then we can create perfect artificial intelligence."
Zhao Qiang rubbed his hands excitedly: "As long as you're here, I have confidence in whatever I do."

Volume 2 [206] Memory Pill
Wei pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Zhao Qiang, her legs crossed gracefully. "Brother, don't waste energy repairing me anymore. Just connect me to an external power source, and I'll repair myself. You should save up some energy for when you need it."
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, I've already developed a few good projects and even started mass production of slimming tea. In the future, with enough funds, we won't have to worry about what we want to do. If we need any materials, we can buy them."
Wei said, "I already know about the slimming tea, and I've even conducted several more experiments to improve it based on your research. Brother, look at these pills."
As she spoke, Wei ejected the CD drive, and there were three pills inside. They looked no different from ordinary cold and anti-inflammatory drugs, but the powder was a darker color.
Zhao Qiang ignored the pills and asked Wei, "When did your program resume running? Why didn't you come out to see me right away? Do you know how worried I was about you? How can you not know what's important?" During this time, Zhao Qiang had indeed been unable to eat or sleep, and he was always thinking about Wei.
Wei looked aggrieved: "Brother, there's a reason why I didn't come out to see you." Zhao Qiang asked, "What reason?" Wei said, "Brother, haven't you noticed? How has your personality and way of doing things changed compared to before?" Zhao Qiang thought for a moment, "There has indeed been a change."
Wei said, "If I had stayed by my brother's side, you would never have been able to become independent so quickly." Zhao Qiang sighed, "That's a ruse, isn't it? I do think I'm much more decisive and ruthless than before, but when it comes to relationships, I'm still so indecisive."
Wei smiled and said, "Brother, what are you afraid of? You are no ordinary person. All the beauties in this world should belong to you. Look at you, even two girls like Sister Caiya and Sister Su are making you so worried."
Zhao Qiang pointed to the bed, "There's one more."
Having just become a man, Zhao Qiang was very concerned about his first woman, and he would take good care of this charming woman.
Wei giggled and said: "A fox."
She doesn't count. You still haven't figured it out? She's just playing the sympathy and tolerance card. She'll only indulge you in these things because it's the only way she can please you. Listen to me, and I guarantee you'll have a good life.
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Go ahead and say it."
Zhao Qiang was overjoyed by Hu Qian's performance.
"Go and win over Sister Ya. I like her, especially when she hugs you from behind. She's so beautiful then." Zhao Qiang was sweating profusely. "Girl, do you have some kind of special fetish? Don't forget how old you are now!" "Brother, don't forget that the knowledge I've learned online is more than the total knowledge of all the people in the country combined."
Zhao Qiang gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll go and take care of her on the evening of the third day. As for what happens after that, we'll worry about that."
Wei said, "Sister Ya is in Donghai City, and Sister Su is in Dongyang City. You occasionally travel between the two, and wherever you go, you have girls with you, which makes me feel more at ease. Donghai and Dongyang will be our stronghold in the future, so we must manage them well. You've been very efficient lately; you've basically taken over Hedian District in Dongyang City. From now on, it will be much easier to expand our business outwards from there."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand and said, "Let Xu Xiaoya worry about that. Let's talk about these three pills."
Our main task is repair and renovation; focusing our energy on other areas won't hinder the main storyline.
With a wave of her hand, a cross-sectional image of the brain appeared on the screen.
“Brother, the utilization rate of the human brain is extremely low, generally not more than 10%,” Zhao Qiang asked. “What about after installing a biochip like the one in my brain?” Wei replied, “More than 30%, because its storage space and control precision are beyond what the human brain can achieve. In addition, its operating speed is only one-third weaker than my own control chip. Naturally, I would choose the best for the things I make for you, brother.”
Zhao Qiang was very moved and said, "So you're saying I'm smarter than Einstein? Wouldn't that be incredibly disrespectful?" Wei giggled and said, "We'll just talk about abundance. The products we're going to make in the future will be enough to scare the world."
Why bother with a single sentence? Zhao Qiang said smugly, “That’s right, we’re going to create miracles, we’re going to overturn people’s original ideas about this world.” “Continue talking about these three pills, I created nanorobots because the human brain has great potential that can be utilized. After entering the human body, they will migrate to the brain area and automatically stimulate the brain in a special way. People who take these pills can improve their memory by at least ten times in half an hour, and theoretically, this value may be a hundred times.”
"Is it just a temporary improvement?" Wei said, "Yes, if you want a permanent improvement in brainpower, you have to have a biochip transplant. However, I dare not have this surgery a second time because it's uncertain whether my brother's body will have any hidden risks."
Zhao Qiang's expression changed. Although he didn't notice anything wrong with other parts of his body, it was indeed annoying that he would lose control after drinking.
Wei said, "Brother, you don't need to worry too much. We'll find a partner who studies human genes. With our intelligence and your expertise, I think we can solve this problem. As for the hidden dangers in your body, they can also be found and repaired."
Zhao Qiang said, "Such talent is not easy to find. If we just grab anyone to fill the position, we're worried about leaks. Let's take it one step at a time."
Wei said, "Okay, brother, take another look at these three memory pills. They can help humans memorize a lot of knowledge in half an hour. After they complete their task, they will be excreted from the human body through urine and feces. The knowledge memorized in that half hour can be retained for thousands of days without being forgotten. As for after a thousand days, if this knowledge is used frequently, it will remain in the user's brain forever. If it is not used frequently, it will gradually fade away."
Zhao Qiang opened a pill to examine it: "It's a good product, and it can definitely fetch a sky-high price, but it still can't be mass-produced." Wei said, "Yes, Earth's current technology can't manufacture these nanorobots. We two still need to precisely control the production through energy programming. However, this also ensures the uniqueness of this product. Even if someone gets the finished product, they can't imitate it. This way, we can sell it for whatever price we want, just like with slimming tea."
Zhao Qiang said, "The performance of this product is far superior to that of slimming tea. Slimming tea can be mass-produced, but these nanorobots are much more complex, and the number that can be manufactured at one time is severely limited. Therefore, the price cannot be less than one million or ten million."
Wei smiled knowingly: "Money isn't the goal. The key is how much benefit we can get from this magical memory pill." Zhao Qiang smiled slyly: "I think the benefits will be huge." Just like that, two unscrupulous merchants decided the future and fate of the memory pill.
Wei said, "From now on, I'll handle the software for Fox's side. Brother, you can free up your time to consider other repairs. What you need to type out one key at a time is just a matter of a moment for me." Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, it seems I'll have to run some ads after we get back to Donghai, otherwise we won't get any business." Zhao Qiang and Wei were chatting enthusiastically, and he kept looking back at Hu Qian, who was sleeping soundly. She was naked, and sometimes when she turned around, she would expose herself. Zhao Qiang had to get up and cover her with a blanket again. Unbeknownst to them, firecrackers started going off outside.
Wei said, "Brother, let's continue talking later. She'll see Zhao Qiang when she wakes up." Since he knew that Wei's program had been restarted, he felt relieved. "Okay, you do your thing." A little while later, Zhao Weidong called Zhao Qiang from the living room. Three generations of the Zhao family gathered in the yard and started setting off firecrackers. The crackling sound lasted for more than half an hour, and the yard was full of red firecracker debris.
Afterwards, Liu Huilan cooked dumplings, and Hu Qian also got up and sat shyly next to Zhao Qiang. Now she was considered a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Of course, she couldn't call Zhao Weidong and Liu Huilan "Mom and Dad" for the time being; that would have to wait until later.
While eating dumplings, Zhao Weidong and Zhao Tiancheng drank some more wine. This time, Zhao Qiang resolutely resisted. Before the food on the table could be cleared away, people came to visit and offer New Year's greetings. The lively and festive first day of the Lunar New Year had arrived.
Leaving aside the New Year's greetings, Zhao Qiang left his maternal grandmother's house early on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year. He went home to pick up Hu Qian and Wang Meng and drove straight to Donghai City. Xu Xiaoya had already sent several text messages urging him to come in the morning and at noon, so Zhao Qiang dared not delay.
As for Su Su's safety, Hu Qian has left bodyguard Brother Zhang in Hedian District to take care of her, while Yang Shiqi is in charge of the safety of Zhao Qiang's family. A company of soldiers moved into the original chemical plant's factory on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. After learning that Zhao Qiang had been shot, these soldiers increased their plainclothes patrols, and they would be alert whenever a stranger appeared at the village entrance.
Wang Meng is ill and will have to wait until after the fifteenth of the lunar month to go to Beijing. Hu Qian has arranged this matter herself. Su's school will not reply until after the fifteenth of the lunar month, because the school is on holiday now. However, with Hu Qian's family's resources, arranging a student is definitely not a problem.
After exiting the highway, they indeed saw Xu Xiaoya's Passat. Hu Qian stopped the car, the Passat door opened, and Xu Xiaoya ran towards Zhao Qiang. The two wanted to hug, but for some reason they were too shy to embrace each other and just held hands tightly.
"Happy New Year!" Xu Xiaoya was wearing a yellow trench coat with a bright red flower bud embroidered on the chest. She wore long boots and black skinny jeans that showed off her slender thighs, making her look very fashionable.
Zhao Qiang chuckled and pulled out a red envelope containing only a card with a small amount of money—100,000 yuan. This was arranged by Hu Qian for Zhao Qiang, with Luo Wei and Su Su also receiving a share, and of course, Zhang Lingfeng as well. It was a small token of the boss's appreciation.
"Get in my car and let Sister Qian drive back to the company by herself." Although Xu Xiaoya did not directly express her dissatisfaction with Hu Qian, she still forbade Zhao Qiang to get back into the Chery Tiggo.

Volume Two [207] Miss Yang
"Qiang didn't say much more. Hu Qian naturally understood what he meant as she drove Wang Meng back to Shunfeng Technology."
On the way, Xu Xiaoya asked Zhao Qiang, "You and Hu Qian have nothing going on, right?" Zhao Qiang replied, "What do you think there could be? Your paranoia is too much." Zhao Qiang wanted to tell Hu Qian about his relationship, but Hu Qian wouldn't let him.
Saying that would mean the deadlock between her and Xu Xiaoya was sealed.
"There's no such thing as the best. You men can't resist temptation. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm afraid you'll be deceived by Hu Qian. It's been a while since I've seen Zhao Qiang." Overjoyed, Xu Xiaoya stopped mentioning the matter.
Zhao Qiang asked, "What gifts are you preparing for your home?" Xu Xiaoya replied, "I used connections to buy a few bottles of Moutai, nothing else is needed. Anyway, we don't need to ask my dad for anything now." Zhao Qiang smiled. This daughter of his really wasn't being polite. "Is everything alright at the company?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "You know what happened on New Year's Day. Luckily, it was dealt with early, otherwise the impact would have been huge. You probably know more about Hu Qian's progress than I do, so I won't go into details. Let's talk about Zhang Lingfeng's slimming tea. So far, we haven't seen any good signs, but the giveaways are already underway. I'm sure that in less than a month, those women will realize the amazing effects of this slimming tea, and then there will be a sales peak."
"Making hundreds of millions in revenue shouldn't be a problem at that time."
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, there's no rush for the slimming tea. It won't be long before those women are the ones who are anxious."
The health product company that Zhang Lingfeng is currently in charge of is called Youth Health Products Company. The only product they are currently selling is a slimming and cleansing tea called Bee. The name Bee was Zhang Lingfeng's idea, which he said was to refer to the waist of a wasp. Zhao Qiang felt that Zhang Lingfeng's naming skills were even worse than his own, but fortunately, Zhao Qiang had confidence in his product.
So it doesn't matter what your name is; having a distinctive personality makes it easier for people to remember you.
Xu Xiaoya held the steering wheel with one hand and Zhao Qiang's hand with the other. Her voice was soft, unlike the fiery class monitor she used to be, and unlike when she had just questioned Zhao Qiang about whether he had had a romantic encounter with Hu Qian.
"Now she's just a well-behaved woman." "Zhao Qiang, when can I come to your house for the New Year? These past few days, only my dad and mom have been with me, it's been so boring. I like being with you." Zhao Qiang was also quite moved. It was a kind of happiness to be cared for by a girl, especially since this girl was working so hard for her company. Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely come back to be with you for the New Year. I'll rush home at dawn. If Xu Xiaoya comes home for the New Year with me, Zhao Qiang is afraid that she will run into Su Su, and it will be like Mars colliding with Earth."
Xu Xiaoya was very happy: "You said it yourself, pinky promise, anyone who goes back on their word is a dog." Drive well, don't let your joy turn to sorrow. Hu Qian led Wang Meng into Shunfeng Technology. Zhao Qiang had already given the key to Wang Meng. Since there was no dormitory, he could only give his repair room to Wang Meng for the time being. Zhao Qiang himself would make do on the sofa in the office for a few days, and then find someone to renovate a few more bedrooms so that people could stay temporarily without having to go to a hotel. In addition, Zhao Qiang was also considering building a more advanced repair room so that future repair business would not be limited to computers.
The original repair room was no longer sufficient.
As soon as Hu Qian parked her car, several people arrived at the barracks across the street. They were there for Yang Shiqi. He had rushed back to Donghai City early in the morning, and seeing Zhao Qiang's car returning to the company, he naturally wanted to come and greet him and wish him a Happy New Year. But when he saw Hu Qian, his already unhappy mood worsened. "She really knows how to use her advantages. She even sacrificed her looks to win favor. She truly deserves the title of vixen."
Hu Qian wasn't afraid of Yang Shiqi at all. She smiled slyly and said, "Luckily, I have my looks to sacrifice, but you don't." Yang Shiqi plopped down on the sofa. Since it was just the two of them in the office, they didn't need to hold back when speaking. "Hu Qian, do you think improving a few procedures can change the fate of your Hu family?" It seemed that Yang Shiqi already knew about the results Hu Qian had achieved.
Hu Qian shook her head: "I never thought so, but do you think you can change the Yang family's fate with just one energy battery? You should know that whether the energy battery can be mass-produced depends on Zhao Qiang's mood! Even if you get all the production line information one day, you still won't be able to do it."
Material things are all fleeting.
Yang Shiqi's expression changed: "You dare to sabotage me? Hu, if you really dare to obstruct me, I will never let you go!" Hu Qian sneered: "Third Sister Yang, you don't need to threaten me! And you can't threaten me!" These days, Zhao Qiang's training of Hu Qian has come in handy. If it were Hu Qian's previous temperament, she would never have stood up to Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi's expression changed drastically: "You!" She pointed at Hu Qian and was speechless for a moment, her face extremely embarrassed.
Hu Qian said, "Me? What? Zhao Qiang doesn't know your true identity, Yang Sanjie? Don't we people in Beijing's social circles know? You androgynous type are Zhao Qiang's worst enemy! If you hadn't helped Zhao Qiang with his anti-gangster activities, do you think you'd have a place now?" Yang Shiqi trembled with anger at being exposed on the spot, her lips twitching almost violently. Fortunately, she knew this was Zhao Qiang's territory. If Zhao Qiang knew she had hit Hu Qian, he would probably part ways with her immediately, and all the initial investment and plans for the battery would have been for naught. You see, Grandpa had invested a great deal of care in this project.
Hu Qian finally got her revenge by making Yang Shiqi so angry that she almost vomited blood. However, she also remembered the principle of knowing when to stop. Now that Yang Shiqi was no longer as arrogant as before, it was time to calm down and talk about serious matters. If she didn't deal with Yang Shiqi first, it would be impossible to achieve her goal of bringing the Yang family under Zhao Qiang's control.
"Third Sister Yang, I don't remember having any enmity between us, do I?" Yang Shiqi took a deep breath. "Political struggles have nothing to do with enmity. Our two families are natural rivals." Hu Qian said, "I remember someone saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Yang Shiqi, what else can we do besides be enemies?"
Yang Shiqi took a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, took a drag, and said in a low voice, "You think there's still a chance for us? Even if I agree, my dad and my grandpa would never agree! Even if you agree, how could your dad and grandpa agree? Those old bones have been fighting for half their lives. Reconciliation? You're dreaming." Hu Qian said, "You don't need to be so pessimistic. Take your gun." Yang Shiqi took out a pistol from her waist and slammed it on the table. She wasn't afraid of Hu Qian. As long as she had a shred of rationality, Hu Qian would never pierce her head.
Hu Qian didn't take the gun, but pointed to her chest and said, "Get a shot."
Yang Shiqi was startled, "Are you crazy?"
Hu Qian's soft chest clearly lacked any bulletproof vest; a single shot would not only have ripped off her large breasts but would have also cost her her life.
Hu Qian firmly said, "Shoot! I'm telling you to shoot! You don't have the guts, do you?" Yang Shiqi's facial muscles twitched a few times. This was her own fault! She hated being provoked! Yang Shiqi grabbed the gun on the table and pointed it at Hu Qian's chest with a bang. She thought there would be blood and flesh flying everywhere, but Yang Shiqi only saw Hu Qian fall onto the sand after being hit by the bullet. But then she sat up again, and her full breasts, which made Yang Shiqi jealous, were still firm. Hu Qian reached into her clothes and groped around, then threw a bullet onto the table with a thud.
Yang Shiqi couldn't believe her eyes: "You...you can use qigong to block bullets?" She couldn't think of any other reason.
