Tang Rui dedicated a day’s worth of time to gathering all the employees in the company and treating them to a meal. Despite being questioned about why they didn’t leave during interviews, these employees willingly remained to grow alongside the company.

“Let’s become bigger and stronger and achieve even greater glory!” Tang Rui exclaimed, raising his wine glass before the numerous employees.

The employees promptly raised their glasses in response, showing their respect. After finishing his glass of wine, the atmosphere turned slightly awkward. These individuals weren’t known for their conversational abilities, and that was precisely the type of people Tang Rui wanted—those dedicated to the company’s growth.

“Do you have time tomorrow?” Tang Rui inquired.

“I’m available.”

“Tomorrow works for me.”

“President Tang, I require your guidance.”

Taking a brief pause, Tang Rui then continued, “Excellent. Let’s go shopping for office equipment and supplies together tomorrow. Especially computer peripherals—choose the brands you’re familiar with.”

“Thank you, boss.”

“Your wisdom is impressive, boss.”

Following the meal, Tang Rui felt a sense of contentment. As the evening wound down, Tang Rui prepared to leave. Just as he was collecting his belongings, Feng Yuanxing approached.

“President Tang, I’ve arranged for a designated driver.”

Tang Rui was taken aback. Did Feng Yuanxing believe he would drive after consuming alcohol?

“Thank you.”

What could Tang Rui say? Five minutes later, the designated driver arrived. As Tang Rui departed in the front passenger seat, Feng Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief, hoping the new boss would be dependable and steer clear of trouble.

The following day, Tang Rui led a team of employees to purchase office equipment, including simple desks, computers, and printers. Lab equipment was still pending. Given the nature of their work, high-end experimental equipment wasn’t necessary.

Upon returning to the factory, the employees set about arranging the office and assembling computers. Being tech-savvy, they required no external assistance for computer assembly.

With the computers assembled, Tang Rui installed an upgraded version of the Hongmeng operating system and ensured internet connectivity. Yi kept an eye on all the computers through surveillance.

Feng Yuanxing visited Tang Rui in his office and inquired, “Boss, should we purchase our company’s CAD software, 3D modeling tools, or computational fluid dynamics software?”

Tang Rui pondered before suggesting, “Why not compile a list of their most commonly used software and their familiarity with each? Then provide me with the statistics.”

Feng Yuanxing promptly returned with a handwritten list detailing the software each person used. Tang Rui reviewed the list and set Celia to work on cracking the software. Authenticity was a concern; Tang Rui preferred not to risk using expensive foreign software laden with potential vulnerabilities.

Celia efficiently cracked the software, not only making it fully functional but also improving its simulation calculations speed through cloud computing resources. Each person received 0.02% of a server’s computing power, eliminating the need for data waiting.

The company’s foundation was established within a day. Tang Rui granted the employees a day’s rest, returning to his job as usual on Monday. That evening, he resumed his drone hobby. With the company operational, it was time to launch a flagship product.

Having already tested drones during an aeromodelling event, Tang Rui planned to upgrade and replicate them for a product line that could detect and attack. Now, he intended to upgrade his drones.

Tang Rui’s intention was to fly the drone over the sea and capture footage. However, the radar’s lack of activity frustrated his efforts. To explore more, he directed the drone toward a nearby island. As he observed the screen, the radar detected an unknown aircraft at a higher altitude. Tang Rui initiated a careful chase, making sure to maintain a safe distance to avoid detection.

After five minutes, the drone caught up with the aircraft, and Tang Rui activated its electro-optical system, displaying the plane’s shape on his

screen..
