Before going to the interview location set by Jiang Cheng, Zhang Manlin privately did some investigation to find out what kind of place she was going to.

After some investigation, she only discovered that it seemed to be private property on Jade Island, not owned by any individual, which made her very curious.

However, Zhang Manlin's background and expertise was merely in managing a technology company, so Jiang Cheng's invitation left her a bit baffled.

When the plane reached Jade Island, Zhang Manlin suddenly recalled that a man named President Jiang had called to make the appointment, and this Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company might be founded by the son of the founder.

Soon after, Zhang Manlin got off the plane, and a taxi arrived at Jiang Cheng's villa. After being notified, Zhang Manlin quickly met her future boss.

The young man, who looked incredibly youthful, sat in a chair with a handsome face, which made her feel very familiar and surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "First time meeting you, I am Zhang Manlin. Are you President Jiang?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, weakly saying, "Hello, I am President Jiang, first time meeting you."

Then Jiang Cheng stood up, shook hands with Zhang Manlin, and looked at her.

At 29, Zhang Manlin exercised regularly and was still considered young. She wasn't married yet, so describing her as mature wasn't very accurate, and it was apparent she was blooming in her life.

Her appearance wasn't really beautiful, especially when compared to Guan Xiaofei, showing a big difference. At best, her features were just right, but with some dressing up, she could be even more beautiful.

However, Zhang Manlin didn't wear heavy makeup, just a light touch-up, with her hair pulled up, looking energetic and refreshing.

Jiang Cheng really liked this style.

Zhang Manlin constantly changed jobs, but Jiang Cheng knew it was simply because she couldn't find a satisfactory working environment!

She came here, too, seeking the most satisfactory work environment for herself.

"To be honest, right after I got off the plane, I was wondering how old my boss would be... yet, I didn't expect Mr. Jiang would be so young." Looking at Jiang Cheng, Zhang Manlin didn't hide her surprise and just spoke out.

"You're not the first to say that." Jiang Cheng shrugged and then pointed to a chair not far away, "Please, sit down."

After a brief formality, the two of them sat down.

Once Zhang Manlin sat down, Jiang Cheng bluntly said, "I am not one to beat around the bush. The reason I chose you is not by chance but because I have taken a liking to your capabilities."

"I am honored." Zhang Manlin quickly responded.

"First, although my company is registered, it is not yet established—these things you can assist with, and I believe you have many channels in this area, whether it be materials or recruitment of talents!" Second, the initial funding is 100 million US Dollars. I will transfer the money to you within three days, not a penny less. If it's not enough, you can tell me. Third, you are the company's CEO and president, and you will handle all matters big and small, but as you handle them, just report to me. I won't question your direction, but I need to know how you handle it." Jiang Cheng thought for a while before hastily saying.

As Zhang Manlin listened carefully, since graduating, it was the first time hearing someone say such things; Jiang Cheng was quite unique!

This was preparing to donate his company to her!

Moreover, looking at Jiang Cheng's calm demeanor, she couldn't help feeling touched, not like a child at all.

This kind of breath, this kind of feeling, reminded her only of her most respected mentor in college!

All these years in the workplace, she had never felt this way, and who knew today she would experience it with a not-yet-adult youth...

Unconsciously, she began to see Jiang Cheng as a peer.

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Zhang Manlin thought for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Jiang... are you serious?"

"Do I seem like I'm joking?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said.

Zhang Manlin shook her head, saying, "I believe you, you don't have the time to joke with me like this. However, I still want to ask, we've just met for the first time, you're ready to hand over everything of the company to me and pay me a large amount of startup funds—aren't you afraid I'll run away with the money?"

After saying this, Zhang Manlin looked at Jiang Cheng, wanting to know his answer.

At this point, Zhang Manlin imagined many replies Jiang Cheng might give, like he would say "I trust you." Such as, "Would real moneymakers say that?" or "Of course, I have a backup plan" pretending to be mysterious... and so on.

However, Zhang Manlin didn't expect that, after hearing this, Jiang Cheng merely smiled slightly and then asked: "Where could you possibly run to?"

It was an ordinary question, but for some reason, at that moment, it sent a chill through her, the chill sweeping over her entire body, and her scalp tingled!

Zhang Manlin swallowed and laughed, saying, "I was just kidding..."

"I know you're joking." Jiang Cheng said languidly.

Zhang Manlin thought for a moment and said, "Also, I would like to know, what is the company's business direction—what exactly does Cosmic Umbrella Technology Co., Ltd. plan to do?"

"I'll show you the product after this meeting and have you come to the company for operations." Jiang Cheng said calmly.

"So... Mr. Jiang, do we currently have any products? Or, could you tell me a big direction? Please tell me, I need to know what you're planning to do, it's very important." Zhang Manlin said seriously.

"Of course." Jiang Cheng nodded, taking out the virtual reality glasses beside him.

"Virtual reality?" Looking at what Jiang Cheng took out, Zhang Manlin asked in surprise, "Is our company's main technology product VR?"

"This VR headset is indeed much lighter than some on the market, and it looks way more stylish, but I don't know how to judge it... if I may speak frankly, the VR headsets on the market today don't concern appearance but performance."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, saying, "This isn't a VR headset."

"Not virtual reality glasses?" Zhang Manlin slightly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then what is it?"

"True virtual reality." Jiang Cheng said with a solemn expression.

"Virtual reality, isn't that just VR?" Zhang Manlin asked strangely.

"No, no, no, this is an entirely different concept. This virtual reality headset is a mental connectivity device, bringing a person's consciousness to a crafted space, like being in a dream, but one that can adjust and set the dream. It's fundamentally different from VR. Do you understand?" Jiang Cheng smiled faintly.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Zhang Manlin was amazed, her eyes widening in disbelief.
