Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 641 - 258 What Kind of Divine Test is This?!
```
To be honest, Ben Ronny had been quite displeased with Chen Yiwen for a while. The guy was clearly a dumbass who couldn't see the situation for what it was, yet he kept acting all high and mighty in front of him.
Before, since Chen Yiwen hadn't fully joined the dark side, he could only force a smile and play along.
But now that he had gotten hold of the merchandise, it was too late for Chen Yiwen to regret anything, and Ben Ronny felt no need to be overly courteous to this foolish man.
What did it matter if he went to the United States in the future?
He'd be nothing but a dog seeking asylum. That's why the words had slipped out just now without even a moment's hesitation.
Ben Ronny had thought Chen Yiwen would explode with rage when he heard those words.
But to his surprise, Chen Yiwen just smiled at him and said, "Hey, sorry about that, Ronnie. I didn't mean it, just slipped out, you know. Don't be mad. One should be cautious indeed; I'll be more careful next time."
Ben Ronny blinked, originally thinking Chen Yiwen was a complete idiot, not realizing that the guy wasn't stupid to that extent and still had a sense of the situation.
So he nodded slightly and said, "Good that you understand. Be more careful next time. And, stop calling me Ronnie. From now on, I'm your handler. You need to learn to treat me with enough respect."
"Got it, got it. So from now on, should I call you Luo sir?"
"No need to be so formal, just call me Ronnie as usual. When it's just the two of us, call me Boss," Ronnie said quite officially.
Well, Ben Ronny clearly hadn't been in Huaxia long enough. He completely missed the mocking undertone in Chen Yiwen's "Luo sir."
"Oh, Boss Ronnie, you'd better take a look at my stuff. If there's no problem, arrange my departure as we discussed before. As you know, if the Mathematics Research Institute discovers the theft, I'll be in trouble," Chen Yiwen said, looking down and speaking casually.
At this moment, Chen Yiwen was also struggling to keep up the act.
One must play the part thoroughly.
Now would be a terrible time to get caught out.
He certainly didn't want to attract the attention of Dou Dou, the AI who loved to jabber and knew how to spam on WeChat, which was pretty scary.
"What did I just tell you? Don't rush things. Take it back with you first and have the waiter serve the food. Today is just a casual meeting, remember?"
"Got it, Boss Ronnie."
Ben Ronny nodded in satisfaction. In just a few minutes, Chen Yiwen had made him somewhat fall in love with that superior feeling of giving orders.
One word: Thrilling!
Of course, Ben Ronny hadn't forgotten what he learned back at Langley, that after enjoying the flattery, he should remember to throw a bone.
"Good that you remember. Don't worry, once my people have checked it and it's all clear, everything I promised you will be done. Once you get to the United States, you'll realize it really is paradise on earth! Trust me, you won't regret today's decision."
"Haha, Boss Ronnie, I can see your integrity! Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you some important news. I heard it today at the Mathematics Research Institute. Huaxia's new generation Photolithography Factory has officially started operations.
And I heard that Academician Zhang told Qiao Ze that their technology level directly challenges ASML's next-gen Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machine, which is still in design. However, currently, the design capability is not up to par, so the factory's full potential can't be realized yet.
This Academician Zhang reached out to Qiao Ze hoping he would help design some sort of software. I don't quite understand the specifics. I don't know if this news is important, but I thought it might be worth some money?"
Chen Yiwen said this with a fair amount of pride.
He always felt that Huaxia's rapid mastery of the Photolithography Factory technology was partly due to his efforts.
After all, if it weren't for him suggesting those things to Qiao Ze back then, Qiao Ze wouldn't have published those two papers.
Without those papers, this project might never have been approved, let alone built.
Ben Ronny could detect a hint of pride in his voice, but he simply took it as Chen Yiwen trying to show his importance in front of him and chuckled, saying, "Oh? A photolithography machine? We've known about that for a while now. Still, it's the thought that counts. I'll report it upstairs, credit where credit's due. Don't worry, you'll get what you want."
Having said that, the two of them exchanged smiles again.
Then they each mentally insulted the other: "Idiot."
...
Xilin University of Technology Mathematics Research Institute.
At that moment, indeed, Academician Zhang Zhijian of the Xilin Optoelectronics Precision Institute was reporting the good news in Qiao Ze's office.
The Photolithography Factory project, which was directly initiated based on Qiao Ze's papers, had taken a year to reach the trial run phase. Earlier, Zhang Zhijian had specifically come to invite Qiao Ze, hoping that he would participate in the trial ceremony.
However, Qiao Ze had flatly refused.
Regardless of whether the invitation was sincere or not, Qiao Ze never felt the need to participate in such fanfare.

Moreover, from start to finish, Qiao Ze never felt that he contributed much to the project.
His original intention with those two papers was to bluff the opposition and relax his brain a bit.
That the scientists from the Optoelectronics Institute could actually build the device, to be honest, even Qiao Ze felt a bit of admiration for them.
Thousands of components requiring trial and error...
They actually made it work!
Of course, its performance could not possibly be as exaggerated as Chen Yiwen had claimed, neither first-generation nor that strong.
