Genius Club-Chapter 35 Morning Meeting

Although the dream validation operation failed,

it unexpectedly opened up a new path, which is not a loss at all.

Lin Xian felt that from this moment on, he had transformed from a leaf drifting with the flow into a butterfly flapping its wings.

With a single flutter of his wings in the year 2022, he could stir up a world-changing tornado 600 years later!

The power to cross time and rewrite the future was, unexpectedly, in his own hands.

"Is it really possible?"

Lin Xian looked down at his empty right hand, clenched his fist:

"Let’s try and see."

After closing the window, the temperature in the room gradually warmed up.

Lin Xian yawned.

Drowsiness returned with a vengeance.

"Better sleep now, think tomorrow. It’s Monday tomorrow, and there’s a morning meeting to attend."

Lin Xian turned off the light and crawled back under the covers.

A dreamless night.

...

The next day, morning.

On the 10th floor of MX Company, the senior meeting room was filled with over twenty of the company’s mid and senior-level executives.

At MX Company, every Monday morning, a routine morning meeting was held.

Zhao Yingjun mandated that all group leaders and senior leaders must attend the morning meeting, to report on the previous week’s work and discuss plans for the new week.

In the past, Lin Xian was just an ordinary employee and definitely had no place in such high-level meetings.

But now things were different.

As the leader of the Rhein Cat IP Development Team, ranking equally with the heads of formal departments and directly managed by Zhao Yingjun, he naturally had to attend the meeting.

At the end of the long conference table sat Zhao Yingjun; the three vice presidents were seated on both sides; and then came the department heads and group leaders in order.

As the youngest and least experienced group leader, Lin Xian’s seat was naturally at the very end.

Bang!

Group Leader Wang from the marketing group slammed the table and stood up:

"I disagree!"

"President Zhao! We’ve almost put all our bets on the launch of the new Rhein Brand relying on Professor Xu Yun! How can we just give up like this?"

"Nowadays, every cosmetics company in the world is vying for Professor Xu Yun’s endorsement. Since nobody has secured a deal with Professor Xu yet, we still have a chance! How can we give up so early?"

...

The remarks of the marketing group leader silenced the entire meeting room, everyone timidly looking at Zhao Yingjun, who had just announced the news.

Lin Xian, resting his chin on his hand and twirling his pen, remained silent.

Just a moment ago, after all the group leaders had reported on the previous week’s work, Zhao Yingjun announced an important decision—

The flagship product for the Rhein Brand would abandon the previously planned "Professor Xu Yun’s Moisturizing Cream Plan" and instead develop a new product line.

This announcement sent shockwaves through the room. Even the high-ranking vice presidents exchanged glances in disbelief.

"Professor Xu Yun’s Moisturizing Cream Plan" was the plan that the whole company had been preparing and strategizing for months.

The plan involved convincing Professor Xu Yun to authorize the use of a miraculous chemical substance, and then using it to manufacture a groundbreaking moisturizing cream product to launch the Rhein Brand and revolutionize the cosmetics market.

For months, everyone had been busy with it, and many preparatory works were based on this plan.

Everyone believed that once they secured Professor Xu Yun’s authorization, the innovative moisturizing cream would definitely become a global bestseller, and dominating the moisturizing market would just be a matter of time.

But with Zhao Yingjun casually mentioning giving up without providing any concrete reason, it was truly hard for everyone to accept.

However, as MX Company was founded by Zhao Yingjun, it was her privately-owned company, and she had the right to have the final say, leaving others with anger they dared not express.

Only the marketing group leader, who was always outspoken, and also one of MX Company’s founding elders, dared to stand up and oppose Zhao Yingjun.

"Without Professor Xu Yun’s miraculous chemical substance, what can the Rhein Brand compete with? Rely on that cute Rhein Cat? We might as well pivot to a toy company instead!"

The marketing group leader banged on the table, filled with righteous indignation.

But it was clear that he was thinking of the company’s interest and meant no harm.

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing that he made a lot of sense.

The three Vice Presidents also followed with smiles and consensus:

"President Zhao, maybe… reconsider the matter?"

"If Professor Xu Yun feels the offer is too low, we could increase the stakes! It’s bound to pay off!"

"Exactly, exactly! Securing Professor Xu Yun’s authorization would mean monopolizing the global moisturizing skincare market! With such profitable returns, we should definitely take the chance!"

…

For a moment.

Zhao Yingjun seemed to become the target of everyone’s arrows.

Everyone stood opposite her.

Except for Lin Xian.

At the moment, Lin Xian was looking down at his notebook.

R𝑒ad lat𝒆st chapt𝒆rs at free𝑤ebnovel.com Only.

The reason for giving up on Professor Xu Yun… was only known to him and Zhao Yingjun.

Professor Xu Yun had made it clear that he would never sell that chemical substance.

However…

Hearing Professor Xu Yun’s name again indeed provided Lin Xian with a new perspective for his "Rewriting the Future Plan."

Lin Xian twisted the pen in his hand, recalling that slightly unkempt, meticulous, and serious man.

Professor Xu Yun, whose parents had passed away and whose wife died of amniotic fluid embolism, was left with only his daughter, who had become a vegetative patient lying in the hospital with no hope of recovery…

To send his daughter to the future for treatment, he threw himself into the research of the Hibernation Pod, never giving up despite being deserted by everyone and becoming the laughingstock of all scholars.

Over the years, only Chu Shanhe backed Professor Xu’s research silently.

"Perhaps, I can help Professor Xu Yun," Lin Xian thought.

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes…

He might be the only person in the world who could help Professor Xu Yun.

In the world 600 years in the future, perhaps the Hibernation Pod had still not been successfully developed, but had there been breakthroughs in some basic theories?

If he could help Professor Xu Yun make some significant progress, becoming the first renowned figure in hibernation research and kicking off hibernation technology centuries ahead of time…

Then, not only would Professor Xu’s daughter have a chance to wake up.

It would also mean a qualitative leap in the technology level of the Dream World, a major change in the world, and confirming the previous two hypotheses—

[1. The Dream World is the real future 600 years from now.]

[2. The Space-Time Butterfly Effect exists; one can change the future 600 years later by altering the present.]

Killing three birds with one stone!

Bang!

Zhao Yingjun slammed a folder onto the table, and the room fell silent.

"This matter doesn’t need further discussion," she said.

She stood up:

"If the Rhein Brand only has one moisturizer to offer, then it’s not worth pursuing that kind of brand."

"What we aim for in the future is to become a comprehensive cosmetics mega-brand, not just a moisturizing product. Professor Xu Yun can help us once, can he help us a second time? To succeed, we must strengthen ourselves. I hope our R&D colleagues will make an effort to develop our own core competencies."

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Zhao Yingjun turned sharply and strode towards the conference room door in her high heels with a clack, clack, clack.

When she reached the door.

She suddenly stopped.

Everyone held their breath once again!

It was apparent that Zhao Yingjun was very angry! No one knew who would be the next unlucky one to bear the brunt of her irritation.

Zhao Yingjun turned her head, looking across the conference room to the farthest seat from her:

"Lin Xian, come to my office."
