Ch 63 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

The Hidden Boss of New World Technology is Xie Zheng!

Xie Zheng is the mysterious boss of New World Technology!

How is this possible!

Old Lady Zhou and the shareholders were left in a state of disbelief for a solid ten minutes after seeing the interaction on Weibo.

They couldn’t wrap their heads around this fact.

While they could accept the notion that Xie Zheng had planned to leave the Xie family long ago, and that he had been “diligently” emptying out Xie Group over the years, leaving behind a few massive bombs before departing, those losses were within the realm of their acceptance.

Though the losses were significant, they could grit their teeth and weather the storm.

But the appearance of New World Technology hit them like a nuclear bomb, shattering them completely.

In recent years, who hadn’t heard of the company New World Technology in the domestic market?

Ever since its emergence, it had been a dominant force in the tech industry.

While the company had a limited number of products and relatively few R&D projects, every product they released was a high-quality masterpiece. The customer experience was exceptional, and nearly 90% of those who had purchased New World Technology products had given them rave reviews.

Their team’s research and development capabilities are undoubtedly exceptional. In addition to Tang Xun, the renowned scientific genius, the other core technical staff are also well-known figures in the industry.

These individuals are the guarantee of product quality.

In just a few years, New World Technology has firmly established itself in the tech industry, starting as a newly registered small company. Especially after the “Dreamscape Virus Incident,” when major tech network companies were at a loss, the introduction of their new antivirus software completely propelled the name of New World Technology to fame.

Not only did they make a significant impact on the general public, but they also caused a seismic shift in the tech network world.

There is no doubt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, New World Technology will undoubtedly become a prominent presence in the industry. What kind of interests and business empire lie behind it can be easily imagined.

Even though Old Lady Zhou was bursting with confidence after securing the cooperation of Yan Tong, she did not dare to arrogantly believe that she could casually confront New World Technology.

Let’s not forget that the virus from Dreamscape software, which the mysterious tycoon created, had been solved by New World Technology. It’s hard to determine who was more powerful, but it’s highly likely that they were evenly matched.

So… Xie Zheng is actually the boss behind New World Technology? This is simply a huge joke played on them by fate!

Old Lady Zhou stood in place with a gloomy expression.

And the shareholders deeply regretted their choices.

How could they have been so blinded and fallen for the instigation and temptation of the second branch of the Xie family? Hadn’t they seen enough of Xie Zheng’s methods? How could they dare to go against him? They should have followed his lead, knowing that Xie Zheng had something up his sleeve.

If Xie Zheng were a coward, how could he have survived under the pressure from the second branch? Didn’t they realize that almost everyone with talent from the first branch of the Xie family had died out?

Given the relentless hatred between the two branches, what gave them the audacity to believe that Xie Zheng would quietly endure for the sake of the family’s honor and tirelessly manage Xie Group, nourishing his enemies?

In the meeting room of Xie Group, the atmosphere was suffocating, as if everyone was dead.

However, compared to the oppressive anger and fury of Old Lady Zhou, the online response to Xie Zheng’s revelation as the boss of New World Technology was much more positive.

The public had always had a favorable impression and evaluation of Xie Zheng. Whether it was his appearance or his work capabilities, he had won the admiration of many. The only complaint about Xie Zheng was that people felt he was too much of a pushover.

In this era of rampant gossip, how could the dark secrets of the Xie family remain hidden?

Especially when news broke out about Xie Zheng adopting a child nine years younger than himself, it caused an outcry among netizens, who sympathized and empathized with him. It was no longer a matter of melodrama but an extreme case!

Now that Xie Zheng had “finally” broken free from the Xie family, most netizens celebrated.

With the revelation that Xie Zheng was the mastermind behind New World Technology, no one was naive enough to believe that Xie Zheng hadn’t outsmarted the second branch of the Xie family.

“Damn! Our entire dorm room is in shock! Handsome guy, I always thought you were a big softie, but who knew you were a cunning fox in disguise!”

“Is this what they call ‘bright schemes and dark plans’? I wonder how those idiots are feeling right now. Handsome guy, you’re such a devious person… But I like it!”

“It’s not just a dark plan; it should be a case of sleeping on a pillow made of swords. Who knows that when I heard that my handsome guy had adopted a child nine years younger than himself, I literally fainted in the bathroom. So heart-wrenching… sob…”

“Handsome guy truly lives up to his name. Even if he doesn’t inherit the family business, he can still make a name for himself. Speaking of which, New World Technology is now under our handsome guy’s absolute control, right? I really don’t want to see any more melodramatic power struggles in family conglomerates…”

“I never thought that the mysterious boss of New World Technology would turn out to be my handsome guy. Ahhhh! HK-L9 antivirus software is truly amazing!”

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

“So, the benefactor mentioned by Tang Xun is my handsome guy? Hahaha! Handsome guy, you’re the king of picking up the pieces. You’ve revealed your true identity, and you’re going to make others envy you so much… hahaha…”

The netizens were overjoyed, celebrating Xie Zheng’s departure from Xie Group.

At the same time, the reputation of New World Technology soared once again. No one would think of them as a weak dark horse company anymore, as long as Xie Zheng was there, New World Technology was like a second Xie Group.

…

It was during this jubilant time that Fang Ziyang returned to Beijing.

Yes, he returned to Beijing.

Qing University, where he was about to enroll, was located in Beijing. The headquarters of New World Technology was also in Beijing, and Xie Zheng, Tang Xun, and Rick were all based there. With the presence of the Zhao and Zhou families in Dongsheng Pharmaceutical in Jiang City, he decided to move to Beijing to live and study while managing Dongsheng Pharmaceutical remotely.

However, on his way back to Beijing, he spent a few days in Jiang City to make arrangements for Grandpa Li and Ming Bai before leaving with peace of mind.

Originally, Xie Zheng planned to fly over and pick him up directly, but Fang Ziyang vehemently rejected the idea. However, he couldn’t refuse Xie Zheng coming to the airport to pick him up.

So, with a sense of helplessness, as soon as Fang Ziyang got off the plane, he saw the one person he least wanted to see right now. In his ideal scenario, he would have turned around and run away, but reality forced him to put on a smile and greet him.

“Brother Xie…”

Fang Ziyang smiled on the surface, but inside, he felt like he was walking into an execution ground.

Before, when he thought Xie Zheng believed he had a crush on him, it was effortless for him to act cute and clever. But now that he knew, he was afraid that if he overdid it, Xie Zheng’s misunderstanding would escalate! However, it was futile for him to maintain this one-sided distance.

Xie Zheng never received the signal of his distancing. When he saw Fang Ziyang, he immediately smiled, instantly feeling extremely happy. He thought that the young man was also looking forward to seeing him, and all the frustration that had built up during their time apart disappeared completely.

With a joyful aura, Xie Zheng patted the seat next to him and said, “Get in the car quickly.”

The perpetual virgin’s smile was incredibly gentle.

Previously, Fang Ziyang didn’t think much of it, but now, facing Xie Zheng’s attitude, he felt a bit uncomfortable and anxious. However, he had to sit in the car with a brave face.

Fang Ziyang casually placed his backpack on the middle seat, creating a safe distance between them.

He forced a dry smile and said, “Brother Xie, didn’t we agree that the driver would come to pick me up? Why did you come again? It’s such a waste of your time. What about my brother? He should be out of the lab by now, right? I’ve seen the news about you guys online…”

“Your brother is resting at home. Tang Xun has been working hard on his experiments recently, while I have more free time. It won’t delay me.”

Xie Zheng replied with a good mood.

He casually reached for the obstructing backpack on the seat and planned to move it aside, intending to sit closer and observe Fang Ziyang. He felt that the young man seemed a bit thinner.

And so…

In less than a minute of transformation, the backpack was taken away just like that.

Then, as a matter of course, Xie Zheng squeezed himself next to the young man he had been thinking about, and his hand contentedly rubbed through the tantalizing black hair.

“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t be so polite with Brother Xie. Your brother and I are good friends. I’m just here to pick you up, no need to be so surprised…”

The scent of masculine hormones suddenly surrounded him, enveloping his entire being.

A gentle voice that contradicted his cold exterior.

The warm atmosphere he used to find comforting now felt filled with endless ambiguity!

Fang Ziyang couldn’t help but blush.

Although he knew that a relationship between him and Xie Zheng was impossible, he didn’t want to consider matters of the heart until he had completed his revenge. However, being treated so tenderly by the usually calm Xie Zheng, it was impossible for him not to feel a slight touch in his heart.
