It was as if he had gone to Korea for plastic surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if Korean technology could explain the face, there was no way to surgically alter height or skin tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the fact that his facial features and voice were indeed those of their boss, they would have thought this was a completely different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Lin Yi could only explain it as a second growth spurt. \"Four-Three-Three\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether these people believed him or not, that was the story, and who would dare to object?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, on the third day, when Lin Yi arrived at the company, the entire office erupted in gasps of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Li Xueying, who had not seen Lin Yi for these past three days, covered her mouth, her jaws dropping open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible...? Boss, did you go to Korea for plastic surgery these past two days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Lin Yi rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known someone would say exactly that, so he replied with irritation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I had gone to Korea for plastic surgery, could I have healed this quickly? This is a second growth spurt; perhaps mine is just a bit more exceptional than most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A second growth spurt!\" Li Li Xueying recalled that her boss was only twenty-two years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old saying goes, \"At twenty-three one shoots up, at twenty-five one fills out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speak of a second growth spurt was not entirely impossible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but still! The change in the boss was far too dramatic; it was a complete transformation from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his facial features remained the same, the overall impression he gave was countless times more refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was so flawless that it even made women feel envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, witnessing such a \"second growth spurt\" in Lin Yi made Li Li Xueying wish she could experience one herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's get back to work!\" Lin Yi said, soothing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you come to my place tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueying licked her lips and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi smiled and said, \"Good. Tonight I will properly punish you, you little vixen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be waiting eagerly; I want to see if that place has undergone any development as well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueying said with a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were at the office, Lin Yi did not chat further with her, merely giving her a look that said, \"Just you wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Secretariat Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the CEO's secretary, Tang Tang Chuyu had naturally also learned about the boss's sudden transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the entire management staff of the company was quietly discussing the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although CEO Yang Chen had quickly forbidden employees from discussing the president in private,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>secretly, some people could not help themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Bai, do you really believe the boss experienced a second growth spurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Tang Chuyu asked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Jie shrugged her delicate shoulders:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else could it be? If we must explain it scientifically, we can only say that some people might possess a unique constitution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the boss has become far too handsome; if he were at our university, he would undoubtedly be ranked among the top campus heartthrobs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Tang Chuyu murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, sometimes a man's appearance alone is enough to be utterly captivating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Jie recalled the moment she had entered the president's office earlier that day and seen the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she admit that she had been completely stunned at that moment, because the boss's new image hit precisely all her weak spots?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that this woman was entirely controlled by her appreciation for good looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her appearance was seductive, like a ripe peach, with a figure full of curves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her conduct, however, remained very conservative,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>primarily because she had never encountered anyone who could make her eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those young, tender boys certainly looked good enough, but they lacked masculine vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those men who possessed masculine vigor invariably lacked good looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, over these years, although Bai Bai Jie had joined several companies and learned much about human relations and worldly wisdom,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she had not had a single man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, she believed in affinity at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least previously, Lin Yi had never given her that feeling of being struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the boss's new image truly made her feel heat spreading through her entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing over 180 centimeters tall, dressed in a well-fitted blue casual suit, with an upright posture,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his whole person resembled a living clothes hanger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, that face looked exactly like the character model of a male protagonist in a manga,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>masculine yet undeniably handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Bai Bai Jie felt herself becoming wet, her cheeks flushing crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sensation she had never experienced before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that she later fled the president's office in somewhat of a \"disgraceful\" manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went to the company restroom to change her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Bai... what's wrong with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Tang Chuyu, seeing Bai Bai Jie lost in thought, could not help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-nothing... nothing at all. Alright, Xiao Yu, let's get back to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Jie immediately masked her embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, alright then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Tang Chuyu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, inside the president's office, CEO Yang Chen was reporting to Lin Yi on the events of the past few days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In just these few short days, the Boss has changed so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the situation, Boss!\" Yang Chen reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's Group from the Ugly Country has refused to provide us with carbon fiber manufacturing equipment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the new energy lithium battery industry, after Fengyi Technology had firmly established its footing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>naturally, the company would embark on diversified development; Lin Yi was not content to have his enterprise struggle in only one industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diversification is the kingly way for an enterprise's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with the technology granted by the System,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if he never used it, wouldn't he be a fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Magic City government had allotted him over 700 mu of land, and the factory buildings still had ample surplus space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Lin Yi intended to lead the enterprise into the carbon fiber industry, which he had long favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this too encountered trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, companies from both the Little Days and the Ugly Country refused to export their latest carbon fiber equipment to their Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although outdated equipment was not included in this restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, products manufactured using that kind of equipment\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would hardly meet Fengyi Technology's requirements for producing new types of carbon fiber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, Dr. Wen Xia, who was in charge of research and development, had no better solution either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the higher the quality, the more complex the required craftsmanship becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although domestic equipment manufacturers could also produce carbon fiber equipment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both their quality and craftsmanship were poor, failing to meet the requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, leave this matter to me; Old Yang, you may go down first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, then I'll get back to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Yang Chen left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he departed, Lin Yi immediately immersed his consciousness into the System,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and opened the Equipment Technology Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, until now he had not upgraded the Equipment Technology Tree or these sub-directories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because these sub-directories were too complex; if one wanted to upgrade any set of equipment to the latest model...\u003C\u002Fp>",1451,"2026-06-16T04:15:30.615Z","2026-06-16T04:35:02.051Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","46d3a70ff16bfc8380d8c0e8f6c9e6f2aaaf60aaba8ae6256de113b47606df09","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-190","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-188",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
