Chapter 282: Lu Nan Comes to Join

Having settled things with Shen Peiyuan, Sun Cheng felt quite good when he left Nandu University of Technology.

Seeing that it was still early, he drove a large domestic SUV he had bought the day before yesterday and headed toward the company in Xixia District.

Over an hour later, wearing a well-fitted casual suit, Sun Cheng arrived at Cybertron Technology Company.

This new suit, which cost over five figures, was something Sun Cheng had just bought a few days ago; he had also purchased a few sets of replacements and two pairs of new leather shoes at the same time.

After all, he was a company boss now; if he dressed too casually, it would be easy for his employees to look down on him.

After all, China had not formed the so-called Silicon Valley culture of the United States; even in internet enterprises, many companies had strict requirements for employees' work attire.

The result truly lived up to the old Chinese saying: Buddha relies on gold leaf, and people rely on clothing.

Sun Cheng, whose physique was not bad, looked unexpectedly extraordinary after putting on the new casual suits he had bought.

For the past two days, every time he came to the company, he would notice that the employees in the company already had a bit more awe in their eyes when they saw him.

He even unexpectedly heard a few newly recruited young female clerks gossiping behind his back, having even imagined up a cliché background for him as the scion of some wealthy and influential family.

Regarding this, he could only smile.

Walking along the way, many employees of Cybertron Technology greeted Sun Cheng one after another.

"Hello, General Manager Sun!"

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Sun Cheng nodded and smiled in response to each of them.

Although these employees in the company had only just joined and more than half hadn't even received their first month's salary yet, they were full of confidence in the future of Cybertron Technology.

This point could be glimpsed from the drive that was overflowing everywhere in the company.

"Oh, right, General Manager Sun."

Just as Sun Cheng walked to his office, a female clerk suddenly ran over in a hurry and called out to him.

"What is it?" he asked in surprise.

The female clerk hurriedly replied, "Manager Wang is currently receiving a guest; it is said that he is a friend of yours, General Manager Sun..."

"A friend of mine?"

Sun Cheng frowned; for a moment, he really couldn't think of any friend who knew he had founded Cybertron Technology and had even come to the company to find him.

"Thank you!"

Doubts aside, he still smiled and thanked the young female clerk who had taken the initiative to remind him, then turned and walked toward Wang Lu's office next door.

Regarding the concept of a friend, Sun Cheng was now a bit hazy.

He was naturally a bit reticent, and he didn't have many friends before; the ones he got along with well were just those few from his dormitory during his university years.

However, among these few friends, one had dug a hole for personal gain and nearly harmed him severely.

Since then, Sun Cheng had a knot in his heart, and consequently, he had less contact with the other two in the dormitory and even his classmates.

Now, suddenly hearing that a friend had come to find him, Sun Cheng was a bit confused for a moment.

After walking a few steps to the outside of Wang Lu's office and knocking on the door, Sun Cheng pushed it open halfway and immediately heard a burst of hearty laughter.

The moment the door opened, two gazes fell upon him simultaneously.

And Sun Cheng, subconsciously looking into Wang Lu's office, felt a sense of realization when his gaze caught the young man who was talking with Wang Lu.

"So it's him!"

The person who came to visit him at the company was a young man with delicate features, not tall, with a slightly thin build, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looking still somewhat green and childish.

From the first glance at this young man, the data and information about him in Sun Cheng's mind immediately popped up.

The young man in Wang Lu's office was named Lu Nan, and like him, he was a senior student at Nandu University of Technology.

"When I heard someone came to visit me just now, I was wondering who it could be... I didn't expect it to be you, Lu Nan..."

A rich smile immediately appeared on Sun Cheng's face; Lu Nan was a talented young man he had set his sights on a long time ago.

Sun Cheng admired many of his ideas, such as Lu Nan's conviction that AI, or 'artificial intelligence', would inevitably become the new engine for technology, industry, and the economy, and therefore one should enter early to grasp the first-mover advantage.

According to his inquiries, Lu Nan had applied for startup funds from Nandu University of Technology before him and had also started a Voice Control Voice project, preparing to develop step by step into the AI field.

Unfortunately, Lu Nan had creativity but lacked a team, and had ideas but no sustained investment capital, so he persisted for even less time than Sun Cheng; his startup project folded in just a month and a half, and he was left with a mountain of debt.

For such a role-model figure who had once strengthened his own determination to start a business, Sun Cheng had never given up on trying to recruit him.

Inside the office, Wang Lu and Lu Nan both stood up when they saw him walk in.

"General Manager Sun..."

"Brother Sun, I've come to disturb you..."

"Sit..."

Sun Cheng nodded, signaling for them to sit down.

He first greeted Wang Lu, "Manager Wang, this is my classmate from Nandu University of Technology. Sorry to trouble you for helping to host him just now!"

"What are you saying, General Manager Sun? It's quite a coincidence; after chatting for a while, we discovered that we are both fellow townsmen from Meizhou..."

Wang Lu replied with a smile, then stood up, tactfully giving up the office, "I happen to need to go to the server room to check on the situation. You two go ahead and chat!"

After speaking and greeting both of them, he left the office.

Once Wang Lu left, Sun Cheng sat down on the individual sofa he had been occupying and asked with a smile, "How is it, Lu Nan? After considering it for so long, have you decided whether or not to join our Cybertron Technology?"

Lu Nan couldn't help but blush. He had been invited to join before Cybertron Technology was established, but because he was not optimistic about the cloud drive market and had many doubts about the 20T hard drive Sun Cheng gave him after returning, he had been busy with his own affairs besides asking people to help test the authenticity of the hard drive during this period.

It wasn't until the recent sudden increase in exposure for the Cybertron Cloud Drive that Lu Nan remembered this matter again, and thus he came over.

He was still a green college student who hadn't left school yet, and without as much experience as Sun Cheng, his shrewdness was far inferior to his.

However, although he felt a bit embarrassed, he hadn't come unprepared.

First nodding, Lu Nan replied somewhat sheepishly, "Brother Sun, I've thought it over. I came here this time to join you!"

Sun Cheng nodded with a smile; this was a good thing.

Regarding artificial intelligence, he had studied it from the perspective of Mechanical Life in the world of 【Transformers】, but he hadn't made any headway at all.

While Lu Nan's technical skills were still quite immature, he had ideas, creativity, and the courage to research, so perhaps he really could carve out a name for himself in the field of AI.

Without hesitation, he readily nodded, "I would certainly welcome a brilliant talent like you from Computer Science to join us with both hands. How about this: I'll invite Yang Lin and the others tonight, just us few who know each other, and we'll find a place to sit down together!"

Just as the words fell, before Lu Nan could even answer, the phone Sun Cheng kept in his inner pocket suddenly rang.

He smiled apologetically, took out Xiao Wu from his pocket to look at it, and his expression could not help but change slightly.

"I'm sorry, it looks like we'll have to change the time!"
