My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 496: Never Seen Such a Foolish Person

"It’s not worth wasting time on the Lin Family father and son."

Yet the more I didn’t want to waste time on them, the more trouble they seemed to cause.

Lu Youxi still had to waste some time and explain the detailed events of that day to Zhou Shuyan.

"I’m guessing they heard me mention Youshu Real Estate and thought the ’Shu’ referred to your ’Shu’, Zhou Shuyan. Thinking they could bask in your reflected glory, they felt they had something to hold over me," Lu Youxi said.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Such stupidity was truly unprecedented.

"I honestly can’t tell if Lin Zhenghao or Zhou Xueyi is the more foolish," Zhou Shuyan said wearily.

"It’s a pity I won’t be able to see it tomorrow," Lu Youxi said regretfully. "When you come back tomorrow, you have to tell me in detail what they said to you."

"How about I have Yu Zeqin record it on the side?" Zhou Shuyan suggested.

"That works, as long as you’re not discovered. It would be great to have a video to watch," Lu Youxi’s eyes lit up with excitement. "How come you’re so smart!"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Although flattered by his wife, Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help feeling that being praised in this regard didn’t give him much of a sense of achievement.

"It’s not a big deal. Tomorrow, I’ll have Yu Zeqin install a hidden camera in my office," Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi nodded vigorously, "Too bad I can’t watch it live."

"Live?" Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow.

"If Chengzhou puts in a bit more effort, enlarges the phone screen, and gets rid of the physical buttons, keeping only the screen. Virtual keys would appear on the screen when typing," Lu Youxi suggested. "When not in use, the whole screen could be used to watch videos or play games."

"The camera and video functions should also have higher resolution," Lu Youxi continued. "We at Little Pink Book should also strive to develop video call features, so we can chat by video directly through the internet. This way, if something comes up, I can watch it live."

Listening to Lu Youxi’s ideas, Zhou Shuyan’s eyes flickered with excitement.

"For the sake of firsthand gossip, your creativity has truly taken off," Zhou Shuyan said with a laugh.

Lu Youxi felt a bit sheepish being praised by Zhou Shuyan.

She didn’t have any real creativity in this area.

It was only because such phones existed in the future, and she had gotten used to them, that she could rattle off these ideas so easily.

But she believed that as long as Zhou Shuyan was around, Chengzhou would definitely maintain its lead in the industry.

And they would surely upgrade smartphones even earlier than in the future.

"I was just throwing ideas out there. But I believe that Chengzhou can certainly do it," Lu Youxi said. "Just like how we can watch TV and videos on a computer using the internet. If a computer can do it, why not a phone?"

"A computer can receive Wi-Fi signals; why can’t a phone?" Lu Youxi continued.

"Just make the phone like a miniaturized laptop," Lu Youxi suggested. "Keep developing it, and remove the keyboard part of the mini laptop, making it a touchscreen. Isn’t that also possible?"

"Isn’t there already lots of touchscreens in tech museums?" Lu Youxi said. "I think all of this is achievable."

"Hold on a second," Zhou Shuyan suddenly jumped out of bed, brimming with excitement, and ran to the kitchen.

He returned shortly.

In his hands were a sketchbook, a pen, and a laptop.

Zhou Shuyan sketched a rectangle in the sketchbook according to what Lu Youxi had just described, "Imagine the phone as a laptop without the keyboard."

"The physical typing keys would be eliminated, but things like the power and volume buttons should not be omitted, as they’re already on the side of the phone and don’t affect its size," Zhou Shuyan said. "If we could enlarge the screen, gradually replacing some or even all of the computer’s functions with the phone..."

Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but smile, "It’s not something technology can’t do; it’s actually feasible."

Without any delay, Zhou Shuyan immediately called Yu Zeqin, "Notify the heads of the R&D departments at the Group and Chengzhou Technology to meet at headquarters at 9:30 tomorrow morning." freewёbnoνel.com

"All R&D teams from the Group and Technology?" Yu Zeqin was surprised.

Such an event was rare.

The last time this happened was when Zhou Shuyan had come up with a very advanced idea, which led Chengzhou to release the first phone with a camera, directly changing the smartphone market landscape and ushering in a new era for phone products.

And now, hearing Zhou Shuyan summon everyone again, Yu Zeqin took a deep breath, "Have you got a new idea?"

"More precisely, Youxi has a new idea, and I want to make it a reality," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile.

"Yes." Yu Zeqin thought to himself that nobody could beat Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi when they were together.

"However, Lin Zhenghao from Lin Group has also arranged to meet with you tomorrow," Yu Zeqin reminded him. "Should I cancel his appointment first?"

"No need, let him wait. We’ll talk after the meeting," Zhou Shuyan said. "If he’s coming to apologize and seek forgiveness, he should be able to wait a while, right?"

Yu Zeqin thought to himself that with Zhou Shuyan’s resolve, the meeting was clearly not going to end quickly; Lin Zhenghao didn’t know how long he’d have to wait.

But Yu Zeqin didn’t dwell on it and simply replied, "Yes."

To give his colleagues in R&D time to prepare, Yu Zeqin sent out an email after ending the call.

He would send it again tomorrow morning in case someone missed it.

But generally, the R&D colleagues didn’t have strict off-hours.

They were always on standby, so missing an email wasn’t likely to happen.

The colleagues in R&D were somewhat excited upon receiving the email.

The last time a meeting this significant was called, Chengzhou’s phones had gone through a significant upgrade.

This time, everyone wondered what new ideas Zhou Shuyan would have.

Even though the upgrades might not be achieved in the short term, the thought of continually researching and overcoming challenges and progressing in that direction was thrilling.

Shen Yanqing immediately called Yu Zeqin to see if he knew anything more.

But Yu Zeqin was also in the dark, so they could only wait for the meeting the next day.

After the call, Zhou Shuyan was too excited to sleep and pulled Lu Youxi into a discussion about her ideas for the new phone.

These were all aspects of phones that had truly been developed and iterated in the future.

So Lu Youxi spoke confidently, knowing that Chengzhou could make it happen.

She shared some currently feasible directions with Zhou Shuyan.

As for fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition, and the like, she hadn’t mentioned them yet.

Zhou Shuyan took notes on the laptop with increasing enthusiasm, discussing his own ideas with Lu Youxi, their feasibility, and so on.
