From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Chapter 157: The Hoe Hasn’t Been Lifted, and the Wall’s Corner Presents Itself

Northwestern Polytechnical University, in a faculty dormitory building!

Wu Kaifeng was sitting leisurely in a recliner in his study, a report on the latest semiconductor research in hand, engrossed in reading. Suddenly, the phone on his desk began to vibrate, pulling his thoughts back from the report.

He glanced at it casually and saw that it was his private phone ringing. He quickly put down the report and picked up the phone.

Wu Kaifeng had two phones. One was for his daily work, used by colleagues and family. The other was a private phone issued to him for confidentiality, as he was involved in certain national-level research projects.

Most people didn’t know the number of this phone.

When he saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, he hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

"Hello, this is Wu Kaifeng."

"Hello, Professor Wu. This is Su Chen. I’m calling from the Imperial Capital. I believe someone should have notified you of my visit."

Wu Kaifeng paused, taken aback for a second. A few days ago, a relevant department from the Imperial Capital had indeed called him, but the details were vague. He only knew that someone named Su Chen would be looking for him.

As for the specific reason, he was completely in the dark.

Snapping back to his senses, Wu Kaifeng quickly said, "Someone did call me a few days ago. May I ask what this is about?"

"I was wondering if you’re available tomorrow, Professor Wu. Some things can’t be explained in just a few words over the phone, but I guarantee you won’t be disappointed."

Su Chen’s words were full of confidence, and for good reason—he held the world’s most advanced chip technology in his hands.

After all, the domestic chip industry was in a dismal state. Even the two famous state-run chip research institutes were still struggling with 14nm-level chip research.

Wu Kaifeng fell silent for a moment. Though his mind was filled with doubt, the fact that a department from the Imperial Capital was vouching for this made him feel a sliver of anticipation for what Su Chen had to say.

"Alright. Come find me at the university tomorrow." Wu Kaifeng then told Su Chen where he would be.

After arranging the time, they didn’t chat any further. After all, they were still strangers and didn’t know what to talk about. Once the business was settled, they hung up.

Wu Kaifeng stared at the phone in his hand and remained silent for a long time before muttering to himself, "I hope there’s a real surprise in store for me tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Su Chen was ecstatic after getting the confirmation. He took out the briefcase he had brought from the Imperial Capital. Inside were documents related to 10nm and 7nm chips, along with their corresponding lithography machines, etching machines, and other equipment—of course, it was only a catalog of brief introductions.

As the old saying goes, words are no proof. Su Chen didn’t want to hide anything; he planned to be completely open with Wu Kaifeng. He was confident that this tip of the iceberg would definitely pique his interest.
