Shortly after he got into bed, Yu Tian heard his phone ring.

Still half asleep, he fumbled around to search for his phone. Once he answered it, Xu Guaodong's anxious voice blasted through the speaker.

a??President Yu, something terrible has happened. Please come to the office right away. We're all waiting for you in the meeting room!a??

a??What happened? What meeting?a??

Yu Tian subconsciously. His mind was still floating in dreamland.

a??Oh my God. Young master, get out of bed right away. Otherwise, something bad would happen!a??

The chaotic shouting from the other end of the phone finally woke Yu Tian up.

He asked, a??What's going on?a??

a??You'll know when you get here!a??

After hanging up the call, Yu Tian immediately leaped out of bed. He freshened up and got dressed.

Then, he had grabbed the car keys and was ready to leave the house. All of this happened in less than five minutes.

a??Lil Tian, have some breakfast before you go!a??

Chu Qing placed a spoon on the table.

a??I can't. Old Xu said there was an emergency at work. They're waiting for me in the meeting room.a??

a??Well, take this for the road.a??

She handed him a sandwich.

a??I'll see you later.a??

Yu Tian rushed to the company. The second he stepped into the room, he noticed the tension in the air.

Usually, the staff would be busy with their work.

However, the atmosphere felt more hectic than usual. Several people could be seen running about in the office.

In their arms were huge stacks of documents. Yu Tian wondered where they were rushing off to.

When he got out of his personal elevator, he almost bumped into Xiao Yun, who was running in his direction.

a??President Yu, you're finally here. I was about to personally go to your house to look for you!a??

Upon seeing Yu Tian, she heaved a sigh of relief.

a??What's going on? Why is everyone so anxious?a??

Since Yu Tian had only recently taken over the company, he was still unfamiliar with how things operated.

Naturally, he felt a little bit nervous because of the unexpected emergency.

a??Please, follow me into the meeting room. I'm not sure about the exact details, but it seems like there's a problem with one of our partnerships.a??

a?|

Meeting room.

When Yu Tian walked through the door,??he noticed that all the executives of the company were present.

Upon seeing his arrival, Guodong finally stopped shouting at everyone.

a??President Yu, you're finally here. Let me explain to you about the situation.a??

He grabbed a chair nearby and sat down next to Yu Tian.

a??So, our company and Madripoor agreed to collaborate on a new project that benefits the country and its people. Both parties accepted the terms and conditions to share data with one another. The collaboration has been going well and the project was developing as expected. However, for some reason, Madripoor has deliberately concealed their key data from us since last month. It significantly impacted our research progress. If this continues, not only will the project be ruined halfway, but the capital and manpower that we had invested will also be a total loss.a??

Madripoor. Not again!

This microstate seemed to always cause problems!

Yu Tian was not very fond of Madripoor.

He said nonchalantly, a??If they're deliberately hiding things from us, then we should just end the collaboration.a??

a??I wouldn't be this worried if things were so simple,a?? replied Guodong while sighing.

a??If we want to pull out from the collaboration, we will lose everything that we've invested so far. Furthermore, we have to pay another 10 billion yuan as liquidated damages.a??

Yu Tian was taken aback.

Ten billion!

To begin with, he did not even have one billion.

What a headache!

He asked with a frown, a??What kind of a project is this? Why are the penalty fees so high?a??

Guodong was anxiously pulling his hair from his almost bald head. A few strands of hair fell out and landed between his fingers.

His heart was bleeding!

More hair loss!

a??Not again!

a??My precious hair!'

a??This is a project with promising prospects. Our country has a population of 1.4 billion people. It'll be a success if each person registered an account. This account is designed for one-click payment on every website. You can also utilize the system to generate a unique and personal QR code for transactions. It allows people to go out and about without having to carry cash. Anything can be done as long as they have their cell phones. If we develop the technology further, we can also strike a deal with the public transportation industry, civil aviation, railway trains, and other departments. The goal was to let people travel across the country with just their cell phones!a??

Yu Tian understood the project better after hearing the explanation.

If that was turned into reality, trivial matters in daily lives could be solved with just a cell phone. Everyone's life would be much more convenient. Apart from that, in the long term, the project could bring unimaginable profits to the company.

a??Why did we collaborate with Madripoor for such an important project?a??

Guodong replied weakly like a deflated balloon, a??We had no other choice. Madripoor is one of the best in terms of technological advancements and that's exactly what we need. I wouldn't want to collaborate with them either if we had other alternatives.a??

How horrible!

This was such a tricky problem!

Yu Tian kept quiet.

The others dared not speak either.

Thousands of different thoughts were drifting through Yu Tian's mind.

a??Sacrifice some short-term assets in exchange for Madripoor's advanced technology. We must continue with the project!

a??We shouldn't collaborate with the little devils of Madripoor. As of now, they have no credibility. Moreover, our country has abundant resources and a lot of talents. There are bound to be some tech geniuses. We should take this upon ourselves and kick them out of the picture!'

Suddenly, Yu Tian sprung to his feet.

His unexpected movement shocked everyone else. They all turned to look at him with curiosity in their eyes.

Yu Tian scanned the room and said in a sonorous voice, a??We'll kick the little devils of Madripoor out of the picture and develop our own research branch. Get the HR department to write up a hiring notice. We'll bring in the finest technicians by offering the best benefits! We must take this into our own hands and not let others restrain us. Don't worry about the money. Just report the numbers to me and I'll solve the problem! Old Xu, you're in control of the specific details!a??

His passionate speech made everyone enthusiastic!

After the meeting, Guodong followed Yu Tian to his office.

a??President Yu, I think your idea is brilliant but hiring will take some time. Currently, there aren't many talented candidates in the market. Without the right technicians, this project is likely to bring down the company.a??

Yu Tian understood what the man was saying. After giving it some thought, an idea popped into his mind.

a??I know what to do. Just wait for my good news!a??

Without giving the other person a chance to question further, Yu Tian grabbed his car keys and walked out of the office in big strides.

He walked past Xiao Yun's desk and casually took one of the files related to the project.

Yu Tian was unsure if he could convince those stubborn old men. After all, he was a penniless, fresh graduate.

He was popular back in his university, but that meant nothing to the famous professors.

All that mattered was to persuade the old men of this project's potential..
