After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 1061 - : Si Fuqing’s Chip, Meeting Alone (1)
Chapter 1061: Si Fuqing’s Chip, Meeting Alone (1)
The design on the blueprint clearly depicted the trigger, microprocessor, logic gates, and other circuits, all sketched with smooth precision and elegance.
Lang Xuan carefully examined it and was shocked to realize it was hand-drawn. His surprise deepened.
He then picked up the chip-related item, conducted a few experiments using the portable equipment he carried, and couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
His secretary, seeing this rare, uncontrollable expression from him for the first time, asked, “President Yun?”
“What an exquisite design. This is my first time seeing something like this,” Lang Xuan responded, regaining his composure. “Look at this logic gate here…”
After listening to Lang Xuan’s explanation, the secretary gradually understood the unique features of the chip and was equally surprised. “This really solved your urgent problem.”
...
“Indeed,” Lang Xuan replied slowly, “This chip will allow the company to immediately launch the thirteenth generation drone.”
The Free State had its own regulations, and no technology could be shared outside of it.
If caught, one would certainly be sent to the Holy Light Tribunal.
Lang Xuan, deeply influenced by the Intercontinental Research Institute, found it hard to break free from their constraints, causing Above the Cloud to stagnate for the past six months.
This chip, while not surpassing the technical level of the institute, cleverly avoided all the inventions they had developed in recent years, providing him with significant assistance.
Lang Xuan looked up and asked, “Who designed this? Quick, I want to meet them immediately!”
“Oh! I got so excited that I forgot to mention, it’s Miss Si Fuqing, Miss Si!” The secretary slapped his forehead. “The marketing department is planning to sign her as a spokesperson. When her agent brought the chip over, I was stunned.”
A celebrity who could be so versatile?
The secretary almost wanted to persuade Sang Yanqing to let her go and stop acting.
Hearing this, Lang Xuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his hand trembled slightly. “Alright, I’ll contact her myself.”
He took out his phone and found the contact he had just saved. It took him a while to finally press the call button.
After confirming that Si Fuqing could arrive within an hour, he leaned back on the sofa and exhaled a long breath, feeling an uncontrollable sense of anticipation.
As time ticked by, Lang Xuan had never felt an hour pass so slowly and agonizingly.
Finally, there was a knock on the door.
Before the secretary could approach, Lang Xuan, in a flash, sprinted to the door at lightning speed and personally welcomed Si Fuqing inside.
The secretary was left speechless.
He felt that their boss had just broken an international sprint record with that speed.
Si Fuqing removed her hat, dressed in her usual simple casual wear, and nodded. “Mr. Cloud Four.”
“Miss Si, hello, we meet again,” Lang Xuan smiled slightly and handed over the contract. “I’m very satisfied with your work and have decided to hire you as the chief designer. The spokesperson role is also yours, and you don’t need to worry about the salary.”
Si Fuqing picked up the pen and signed her name.
After collecting the contract, Lang Xuan finally spoke. “You remind me a lot of someone I once knew.”
Si Fuqing’s expression remained unchanged. “Who?”
“My sister, though not by blood,” Lang Xuan said softly. “Like you, she was a genius who could design chips and even served as an examiner for the international joint examination. Sadly, she’s no longer with us.”

Si Fuqing did not respond to that, her gaze deepening.
After a long silence, Lang Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and met her eyes, offering a smile. “Although your design styles differ, both are innovative. On behalf of Above the Cloud, I thank you, Miss Si. If you ever need assistance, I’ll do everything I can.”
“No need to be polite,” Si Fuqing said casually, her tone indifferent. “Above the Cloud provides the money, and I do the work. It’s a fair deal.”
This statement made Lang Xuan’s pupils contract again, and he murmured, almost to himself, “Too similar…”
His Little Junior Sister often joked that she was just a worker.
Noticing Si Fuqing’s curious glance, Lang Xuan realized his lapse and chuckled while rubbing his temples. “My apologies. Let me escort you back.”
“No need, it’s not far. I’ll walk,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Mr. Cloud Four, you should rest. Your dark circles are quite heavy. Health is important.”
Lang Xuan was momentarily stunned, then gently responded, “Alright.”
But beneath his calm exterior, his heart was in turmoil.
How could two people be so alike?
After sending Si Fuqing out of the hotel, the secretary quickly returned and asked, “President Yun, what about these chips?”
Lang Xuan didn’t look at them again and said calmly, “Send them back.”
Even without Si Fuqing’s design, he would never have chosen Ji Qingwei in the end.
An imitation could never surpass the original.
He did indeed think of his junior sister, but after the brief moment of nostalgia, what remained was mostly a sense of irritation.
The secretary understood. “I’ll proceed with scheduling the press conference for the new chip and announce Miss Si as the spokesperson.”
“Good,” Lang Xuan said. “I trust you to handle it.”
The secretary was about to leave when he was called back. Confused, he asked, “President Yun?”
“Return the other two, but hold onto Ji Qingwei’s for now,” Lang Xuan narrowed his eyes. “I suspect something’s off.”
The secretary was surprised but didn’t question it. “Understood, President Yun.”
Left alone in the hotel room, Lang Xuan exhaled slowly and began gathering all available information about Si Fuqing.

Meanwhile.
Si Fuqing walked along the wide road, one hand in her pocket, the other holding her phone as she talked to Yuejian.
“I met with Fourth Senior Brother,” she said lazily. “Worked a shift for him, and he’s quite satisfied, even gave me a raise.”
Yuejian raised an eyebrow. “He didn’t recognize you?”
“Even if no one’s eavesdropping, I can’t just reveal myself directly,” Si Fuqing shrugged. “If you weren’t a psychic evolved being, and one day someone claimed to be your junior sister and knew secrets only you two shared, would you believe them?”
Yuejian replied, “I’d blow their head off.”
She knew people who could read memories and those who could alter their appearance at will.
There was no way to be too cautious.
Si Fuqing: “…”
Indeed, she was probably the most mild-tempered person in her sect.
Look at her Third Senior Sister, always talking about offing someone.
“Second Senior Brother says Fourth Junior Brother is the most suspicious, but the interrogation found nothing wrong,” Yuejian frowned. “I don’t think he’s involved in the explosion.”
“Mmhm.” Si Fuqing paused for a moment. “It’s a serious matter. I’ll probe further, but he seems to be catching on.”
“Little Nine, let’s make a bet,” Yuejian said slowly. “I bet Fourth Junior Brother will recognize you first. If I win, you owe me ten meals.”
Si Fuqing sighed. “… Third Senior Sister, are you just trying to take my money?”
Isn’t it obvious who’ll recognize her first?
Could it be some wealthy duke?
She had no faith in Rafael’s intelligence.
It seemed her Sixth Sister Senior had traded ten lifetimes’ worth of intelligence for financial acumen in this one. She envied that.
“How could that be?” Yuejian coughed lightly. “I care about you so much. When I bet with Old Two, he usually ends up covering my food expenses for a whole year.”
Si Fuqing sighed deeply. “But Third Senior Sister, you casually spend four figures on afternoon tea, and when you’re in a good mood, you buy drinks for the entire bar. My wallet can’t handle it.”
“You have a sponsor, don’t you?” Yuejian said without a hint of shame. “If you run out of money, just borrow from him.”
“I can’t keep borrowing from him. I’ll find him a girlfriend soon,” Si Fuqing said cheerfully. “By then, I’ll get a hefty year-end bonus.”
Yuejian hesitated. “Actually, you…”
Actually, Little Junior Sister, you should be the one.
She shook her head, realizing she shouldn’t have let Old Two bring up Little Nine.
Now, with Si Fuqing’s naturally low emotional intelligence, she treated everyone like a brother.
Yuejian sighed, silently mourning Yu Xiheng’s future prospects.

The international joint examination concluded, and the news reached the Great Xia Empire, just as Above the Cloud’s annual conference was also trending.
#Si Fuqing, First in the international joint examination
#Above the Clouds Spokesperson
#Above the Clouds to Release a New Generation Chip
The three topics trended together, all marked with a “Boom” tag.
Above the Clouds’ annual conference was always a hot topic, but this year Si Fuqing overshadowed it.
[My youth is over! Above the Clouds is actually choosing a spokesperson!]
[Who is it, who could possibly represent Above the Cloud?]
[Why would Above the Clouds even need a spokesperson? It feels cheapened now. Even top stars wouldn’t know a thing about chips.]
Above the Clouds and Oracle were two brands renowned for not using spokespersons.
The former was the world’s leading electronics company, with many national labs purchasing their equipment.
The latter was the most popular global game, and unless you were someone like Yun Lan, who had won the Glenn Lifetime Achievement Award, no one else could even come close to representing Oracle.
When Oracle first chose Si Fuqing, even though
When Oracle initially chose Si Fuqing, even though she had taken first place in the Star League, a large portion of players still opposed the decision.
These voices of dissent only disappeared completely when Si Fuqing stood on the OPL stage and revealed her identity as NINE.
In the eyes of esports players, only NINE was truly worthy of representing Oracle.
But Above the Clouds?
Who could it be? Perhaps a recipient of the Glenn Award or a gold medalist from the International Games would be the kind of person deserving of such a prestigious endorsement.
