Chen Haoxuan turned the laptop around and beckoned Tian Shisi with his finger, saying, "Take a good look for yourself. Is the rotation speed at the front of your perpetual motion machine the same as at the back? If they are the same, then your perpetual motion machine is real. If they are not and it is slowing down, then it proves that your perpetual motion machine is fake."
Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Tian Shisi felt a surge of anxiety. Chen Haoxuan must have figured it out. His perception of Chen Haoxuan changed completely; Chen Haoxuan was even more impressive than he had imagined. While others needed hours to spot flaws, he had noticed them in just half an hour, which made him admire Chen Haoxuan's intelligence.
Tian Shisi, unable to deceive Chen Haoxuan successfully, was still unwilling to give up. He said to Chen Haoxuan, "Boss Chen, I'm sorry. I lied to you; this perpetual motion machine is fake. My dream is actually to create a real perpetual motion machine that can operate without any energy source. I deceived you, and that was my fault, but I truly need support from others. Otherwise, I will never be able to create a genuine perpetual motion machine because scientists need to eat, and researching requires a lot of materials, all of which cost money. Without money, scientists cannot make any progress."
Chen Haoxuan revealed an evil smile and said, "How about this! A large part of you are scientists; I will give you a laboratory to research whatever you like. However, let me make it clear: if you do not produce something that satisfies me, then you will need to find another job. As for the others, I will need to assess you. If you meet my standards, I will definitely reuse you.
I will give each of you ten thousand Renminbi. Within six months, if you can use that ten thousand Renminbi to earn me one hundred million Renminbi, then you will have met my standards."
"Ah!!" Tian Shisi and the others were astonished by Chen Haoxuan's arrangement for them. He was giving them a laboratory on their own; how could they access Chen Haoxuan's technology? Giving them ten thousand Renminbi and expecting them to help him earn one hundred million Renminbi in six months seemed impossible.
"What? Do you have any objections?" Chen Haoxuan snorted coldly.
"No!! No." They had no choice but to stabilize themselves for now; perhaps there would be opportunities in the future to access Chen Haoxuan's core technology.
Although Chen Haoxuan did not know how capable these dozen or so people were, he knew they were all con artists—very skilled ones at that. If his guess was correct, they were high-level spies from the United States. That was why he arranged for those who claimed to be scientists to be concentrated in a remote laboratory for research and see if they could come up with anything. As for those who claimed to be business geniuses, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but laugh internally; these people were essentially there to deliver money to him!
Chen Haoxuan painted a grand picture for them: if they met his requirements, he would reuse them. These spies would surely seek help from their backers to achieve their goals. The money earned would belong to Chen Haoxuan; investing a few thousand with no effort required and earning billions in six months—what a lucrative deal!
Chen Haoxuan arranged for those who claimed to be scientists at the edge of the desert and built an underground facility there under the pretense that it was safe and the best place for research. He could already imagine the haggard faces of these so-called scientists six months later. Apart from their accomplices, they would not see another soul for half a year; there would be no entertainment. They would have food but feel like they were raising pigs instead. Arranging them at the desert's edge also had its advantages: if they were indeed scientists, they wouldn't care about their surroundings because he himself was a scientist and understood what mattered most to them.
Meanwhile, in the United States' Agent Division, upon learning that their high-level spies had been assigned by Chen Haoxuan to a remote desert location—and with such unreasonable demands of earning one hundred million from just ten thousand—they were furious. Especially Abel, who shouted about taking people to China to kill Chen Haoxuan. If her superior hadn't stopped her, she might have attempted another assassination.
A month later, most of the talent from China had likely joined Chen Haoxuan's company by now; thus very few applicants came forward—one every few days—and they weren't necessarily talented individuals either. Finally free from distractions, Chen Haoxuan began enjoying life again, spending time every day with Chen Yina and others as they explored various places.
Chen Haoxuan's image changed; he now held his adorable daughter Chen Xiaonuo in his arms daily. Previously busy and childless in his past life, he now realized how enjoyable it was to raise children. His daughter often did things that left him both amused and exasperated—troublesome yet entertaining moments that brought him joy.
At some point, Chen Yina and her friends began focusing on their health as well; every week they needed to go to a fitness club on Entertainment Street in the county to learn yoga and other exercises. Today they went out while leaving Chen Haoxuan alone at home.
Chen Haoxuan was strolling through the village, holding his daughter in one arm. His strength surpassed that of the Strongman from the Dragon Group; he carried her effortlessly, feeling no weight at all. If it weren't for his concern about her falling, he would have simply supported her with one hand.
His daughter was only a few months old and couldn't speak yet, but when she was happy, she would giggle joyfully. As Chen Haoxuan passed by Chen Xiumin's Family, he suddenly heard Chen Xiumin call out to him, "Brother Xuan, are you here to see me?" Chen Xiumin cheerfully ran out of her house, her genuine smile lighting up her adorable face, making Chen Haoxuan want to pinch her cheeks.
"I'm just passing by," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Oh, then what is Brother Xuan up to?" Chen Xiumin asked, a bit disappointed.
"I'm taking Xiao Nuo out for a stroll. I heard that this helps children grow up to be sunny girls," Chen Haoxuan said cheerfully.
"Brother Xuan, let me join you! I could use some exercise too," Chen Xiumin said with a laugh as she walked up to him and reached out with both hands to hold Chen Xiaonuo.
"Xiao Nuo, do you remember Auntie Xiumin? You're so cute! Auntie Xiumin wants a kiss..." Chen Xiumin seemed to really like Chen Xiaonuo and didn't care whether she wanted it or not; she kept showering her with kisses.
After playing for a while, Chen Xiaonuo might have gotten hungry. She tugged at Chen Xiumin's collar with her tiny hands. Although her strength was small, the stretchy fabric of the shirt easily yielded to her pull. Then she leaned her little head toward Chen Xiumin's chest, opening her mouth as if wanting to nurse.
Chen Haoxuan was taken aback by Chen Xiaonuo's actions at first but then found himself captivated by the adorable scene before him—so pink and cute.
"Ah!!" Chen Xiumin squatted down and placed Chen Xiaonuo on her feet. Supporting her with one hand, she quickly adjusted her shirt with the other and shyly said to Chen Haoxuan, "Brother Xuan, why is she pulling my shirt?"
Chen Haoxuan scratched the back of his head and awkwardly smiled. "She might be hungry. I brought a bottle; just put it in her mouth." He handed the bottle to Chen Xiumin.
Chen Xiumin placed the bottle in Chen Xiaonuo's mouth, and the baby began sucking eagerly. After securing Chen Xiaonuo comfortably in her arms, she looked up curiously at Chen Haoxuan and asked, "Brother Xuan, Xiao Nuo pulled my shirt; it seems like she wants to drink my milk. But I don't have any milk; why would she want mine?"
Chen Haoxuan broke into a cold sweat and glanced around to ensure no one was nearby before sighing in relief. "Xiumin, you're a girl; you shouldn't say things like that carelessly. It could lead to misunderstandings."
Pouting her lips in grievance, Chen Xiumin replied, "I was just curious!"
"Alright, alright! Let me explain: Xiao Nuo is only a few months old; she doesn't understand much yet. That's why she thinks of you as her mother," Chen Haoxuan clarified.
"Mom? Can I be a mom too? That's great! Then I will be Xiao Nuo's mom. Xiao Nuo, call me mom!"
Chen Xiaonuo, who was drinking from a bottle, clearly had no time to respond to Chen Xiumin. She continued happily sucking on the bottle.
Chen Haoxuan thought to himself, "If Xiao Nuo has a mom, that means it's my wife, right? This can't be; she's only in her teens!"
After Chen Xiumin's previous confession, now she wanted to be Chen Xiaonuo's mom. Chen Haoxuan was a bit worried that Chen Xiumin might really fall in love with him. If she did, it would ruin a young girl's life. No, he absolutely could not let that happen, Chen Haoxuan thought.
He said to Chen Xiumin, "Xiumin, let's go fishing by the river." Chen Haoxuan planned to clarify things with Chen Xiumin by the river.
"Sure! I love playing with Brother Xuan!" Chen Xiumin seemed to forget that she was still holding Chen Xiaonuo, and she jumped up joyfully. This jump startled Xiao Nuo, causing her to cry loudly.
"Xiao Nuo, don't cry! Mommy loves you!" Chen Xiumin kept comforting the crying Chen Xiaonuo. Perhaps Chen Xiaonuo accepted her new mommy because she quickly stopped crying.
Chen Haoxuan sighed inwardly. He definitely needed to teach Chen Xiumin what true love is. He wasn't worried about whether Chen Xiumin's family would hate him; he was more concerned about her future since her mother had hinted several times that he should take care of her daughter.
He took Chen Xiumin to the riverbank, where fishing rods were available for rent. However, Chen Haoxuan didn't need to rent one; he could borrow it directly. Once they reached a less crowded spot, they started fishing. While fishing, Chen Haoxuan continuously explained to Chen Xiumin what true love really is, telling her that her feelings for him were affection, not love, so she shouldn't get them mixed up. He talked endlessly, but all he got in return was a single sentence from Chen Xiumin: "Brother Xuan, I want to have a baby with you."
