Soon, someone came up to take the chip away for research.
"Wait," the deputy leader said excitedly. "I'll go take a look myself."
Half an hour later.
He came back.
His face was flushed with excitement.
"It's real. It's real."
The deputy leader was so excited he could barely speak.
"The performance of this chip is outstanding. It's leagues ahead of any existing chips."
When the leader heard his words, he too was filled with excitement.
"This is wonderful. From now on, our country won't have to suffer sanctions from other nations over chips."
Unexpectedly.
This project had originated among students at a university.
"You're really something," the leader said, looking at them approvingly.
Wang Dahe said, "Although we all put in a lot of effort, the main credit goes to Lin Xuan. Without his leadership, we never could have developed this chip."
The other members of the research team chimed in.
"That's right, it was all under Lin Xuan's guidance. He gave us the direction and ideas. All of us can be replaced, but Lin Xuan is irreplaceable."
They didn't dare take credit for themselves.
The leader said with emotion, "Student Lin Xuan is truly a young prodigy. For our country, Xia, to have someone so talented is our great fortune."
The university president nodded quietly to himself.
It was also the fortune of Qing University.
Because of Lin Xuan, students were scrambling to enroll in their university.
And as for Cloud Capital University, which had once been on par with Qing University—even slightly ahead—they had now been left far behind.
"Leader," the president spoke up, "Student Lin Xuan's wish is to hand this chip project over to the country. We all fully support his decision."
"You're sure about handing it over?" the leader was taken aback. "There's a massive amount of profit involved."
"I'm sure."
The president nodded. "Student Lin Xuan cares deeply about the nation, and he wants to contribute to it."
"Good! Good! Good!"
The leader said "good" three times in a row.
He rose from his seat.
"Since this is a gift from Student Lin Xuan to the country, I accept it on behalf of the nation."
"However, since Lin Xuan has spent so much manpower and resources, we won't let him suffer any loss. From now on, thirty percent of the chip's profits will be given to your Qing University."
"Then, you can distribute it proportionally for the school's development, as well as to the Su Corporation and the Sky Canopy Group, both shareholders of your university."
"Understood," the president nodded.
The leader smiled and said, "Student Lin Xuan is about to get married soon, so let's keep the news of the chip's development under wraps for now."
"On the day of Lin Xuan's wedding, we'll give him a grand surprise."
The president smiled in agreement. "Alright. We'll keep this from Lin Xuan and everyone else to make it a surprise."
After wrapping up matters concerning the chip, the president left with the other students from Qing University.
The leader said with admiration, "Lin Xuan is truly a genius. This chip was a problem neither our country nor our companies could solve, and yet Lin Xuan just went ahead and developed it."
When it was first reported that Lin Xuan was leading students at Qing University to research chips, many people online mocked and ridiculed him.
He had seen those comments himself.
He hadn’t been optimistic either.
But now, Lin Xuan had actually developed it, and in such a short time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly believe it.
The deputy leader nodded. "That's right. Having Lin Xuan in our Xia country is truly a blessing."
"It's not just the chip. There were also the medicines for the epidemic and stomach cancer treatments, all of which involved Lin Xuan."
"I wonder how many more surprises Lin Xuan has that we don't know about."
He had a feeling.
That Lin Xuan would bring them even more and greater surprises in the future.
The leader thought of something and said, "A talent like Lin Xuan must never come to harm. We must not let anything happen to him."
"Issue an order to have people secretly protect him."
The deputy leader smiled and replied, "Leader, you don't need to worry about that. Lin Xuan's fiancée is the president of the Su Corporation. She's definitely already assigned plenty of people to protect him. No need for us to bother."
"Besides, Lin Xuan has the Jiang family as his backer. Rest assured, not many would dare to lay a hand on him."
The leader nodded.
"That's true."
"I have no reason to worry."
The leader sat back down in his seat.
"On the day of Lin Xuan's wedding, I will go attend their ceremony and personally give my blessings to him and Su Hua."
Over the following days.
Lin Xuan was busy from morning till night, preparing for his wedding with Su Hua.
The chip had been developed.
All project members were given a long holiday.
Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan had been working overtime nonstop to develop the chip, and now that they finally had time off, they originally planned to rest for a while.
But instead.
Lin Xuan dragged them into work.
Wang Dahe looked at Lin Xuan's wedding plan, his eyes wide. "Bro, your wedding budget is 1.5 billion?"
"Yeah," Lin Xuan nodded. "That's the estimate for now, but I think it'll end up being more."
Wang Dahe gritted his teeth. "I'm going to fight you rich bastards who have no concept of money."
Even with a good brother like Bro looking out for him, and the occasional bonuses from Su Hua.
He would never earn that much money in his lifetime.
Bro was spending over a billion on just one wedding.
Jealousy!
Maddening!
Once again, Wang Dahe deeply felt the gap between him and Lin Xuan.
At least Bro hadn't abandoned his poor friends since becoming rich.
Lin Xuan walked over and patted Wang Dahe on the shoulder. "Dahe, just accept reality."
Wang Dahe looked at Lin Xuan with envy. "I still say the same thing: when will I ever land a rich woman?"
A rich woman like Su Hua was a once-in-a-lifetime find.
He didn't dare hope to meet someone exactly like her—he'd only wish to find a rich woman with at least one-fifth of her wealth.
Still.
Wang Dahe had some self-awareness.
With his average looks, no wealthy woman would ever be interested in him.
"Sigh."
"Forget it."
Wang Dahe sighed. "I can't get a rich woman, so I'll just cling to my brother's coattails."
While Lin Xuan was busily preparing for his wedding to Su Hua.
Over at the Lin family's side.
Lin Qingwan left only a note saying, "Don't come looking for me," and disappeared.
She had taken over an orphanage.
It was the same orphanage Lin Xuan had once stayed in.
After Director Chen passed away, Chen Ling had been working to support herself while raising the orphans.
Ever since she learned about Lin Xuan's experiences in the Lin family, guilt often filled her heart.
She even suffered from insomnia frequently.
That was why Lin Qingwan wanted so badly to make it up to Lin Xuan.
Now, taking care of these orphans, Lin Qingwan felt a sense of peace.
