"I''ve eaten, I just ate, I''ll eat it tomorrow." Mrs. Qin took it and put it in the fridge.


    Mr. Qin spoke up, "Xiao Hao, come over and chat with your dad."


    Qin Hao walked over and sat on the sofa. The TV was showing the news channel, currently broadcasting the news.


    As he sat down, he asked, "Dad, is the factory still busy?"


    Mr. Qin said, "Business at the factory isn''t going well. The foreign and joint venture cars have too big of an impact on the market, I heard our factory might be pulling out."


    Qin Hao replied, "Oh, if the factory pulls out, you and mom shouldn''t work anymore. I''ll support you."


    Mr. Qin said with a smile, "Your dad isn''t that old yet, how can I let you support us? You just need to focus on your studies for now."


    "Yeah, I know, Dad."


    Mr. Qin continued, "Technology is the foundation of a nation''s strength, innovation is the soul of a nation''s progress. Xiao Hao, you''re studying computer science, a high-tech field. I hope you can excel in your studies and help our motherland, so we won''t be beholden to others for certain things anymore."


    Qin Hao nodded, "Don''t worry, Dad. I''ll study hard."


    Mr. Qin began to say, "A country''s strength can''t be judged by its GDP alone, nor can a nation''s prosperity be determined merely by its population size or territorial extent. One of the fundamental reasons our country has fallen behind and been bullied is due to its lagging technology."


    Qin Hao was somewhat surprised. What''s with Dad today? Why is he spouting so much truth? And he''s not wrong at all.


    "Showing off in front of your son, huh? You just saw it on the news and copied it verbatim. Anyone who didn''t know better would think you were incredibly learned," Mrs. Qin said bluntly from the side.


    ...


    Mr. Qin looked somewhat embarrassed and glared at her irritably, "I''m educating our son. Why are you interrupting? Why don''t you try educating him?"


    Qin Hao struggled not to laugh, realizing all this had come from the news, and he thought his dad had come up with it himself.


    Mrs. Qin remarked, "As if you''ve been the one to educate our son all these years."


    "What? It wasn''t me who educated him, was it you then?" Mr. Qin seemed about to lose his patience.


    "Forget it, you do the educating. I''ll go tidy our son''s room," Mrs. Qin said and then went into Qin Hao''s room.


    Mr. Qin huffed and continued speaking to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, why have Western countries been able to dominate the world in recent times? The most important reason is their control over cutting-edge technology."@@@@


    Qin Hao nodded. Although his dad had just copied the words, they made a lot of sense.


    He agreed and curiously asked, "Dad, who said these words?"


    Qin Hao woke up after eight and since his parents were off work for seven days, they weren''t going to the office.


    After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Qin went out shopping. Qin Hao didn''t go with them as he was at home waiting for news from Li Bao.


    Around ten in the morning, Qin Hao received messages from Li Bao. He looked upset.


    He didn''t leave his house all day!


    Nobody knew what he was contemplating!


    On the morning of October 2, all mid and high-level managers at Jiangshan Roasted Duck Food Co., Ltd received a message.


    Whether on vacation or resting, everyone had to be in the headquarters meeting room before three o''clock in the afternoon for a meeting led by Mr. Qin. Under no special circumstances, everyone had to be present, or they would be dismissed.


    This message caused quite a stir.


    The chairman is back? What does this meeting mean at this time?


    Is it to let everyone know below him? After all, many people don''t know him.


    Even some of the new high-level managers had never seen Qin Hao.


    In the early afternoon, Qin Hao drove to the company.


    His Porsche Panamera was still parked in the parking lot, rarely driven by anyone else.


    He took the elevator to the office, where half of the staff were on rotating shifts.


    The two receptionists at the front desk recognized him and quickly said, "Mr. Qin, you''re back."


    Qin Hao replied, "Mm, is Vice President Kang here?"


    "Vice President Kang wasn''t here at noon; he should be in his office now."


    Qin Hao nodded, "Okay, I know."


    He walked inside the company; many of the employees looked at him, but a large part did not recognize him.


    "Stop gawking, get back to work. That''s our company''s chairman," someone whispered.


    "The chairman? So young?" someone said in disbelief.


    "Our chairman is a genius who scored full marks on the unified exam, a celebrity of Jiangshan. There is nothing surprising about him being a chairman."
