Chapter 363: Chapter 227: A100 Chip?

“President Meng, the server is running smoothly. Should we go back online?”

“Push an update package and make an announcement saying there’s a temporary system update. Give all players a reward of 500 diamonds.”

“Got it.”

After the server was down for an hour, players could log back into the game. Mengtao was very happy to see that the problem was solved perfectly, “Captain Li, I really owe you a big thanks this time.”

“You’re welcome. It’s fate that we met. Actually, I’m quite interested in gaming companies. Could you show me around?”

“Of course.”

Mengtao took Li Xiang for a tour around the company, showing him different departments, but Li Xiang was especially interested in the servers they ran.

His eyes lit up when he saw the chips they were using, “Does a niche gaming company like yours also use A100 chips?”

“What do you mean by that? It seems like you’re looking down on our company. Why can’t we use A100 chips?”

Mengtao felt inexplicably uncomfortable with Li Xiang’s tone. Who was he looking down on?

“No, what I mean is, aren’t these things on the embargo list? How did you get them?”

“Do you want some?”

When Mengtao heard Li Xiang’s interest in A100 chips, she knew Li Xiang probably wanted them too, since he was a computer expert and no expert could resist the temptation of A100.

“I’m assembling a workstation and really need two A100s. Can I use your connections? I just need two.”

“Sure, no problem. You might not get them elsewhere, but you’ve found the right person here. I’m not boasting, but there are fewer than five companies in Jinghai that can get A100 chips. I happen to have two on hand, so you can take them with you later.”

“Um, it’s not too urgent. I can wait.”

Li Xiang was initially planning to pre-order, not expecting to buy them now. After all, with all his current savings, buying even one was hard, let alone two.

“What are you waiting for? I have them now. Xiao Wang, go to the warehouse and bring my two A100 chips.”

“Okay, President Meng.”

Soon, Xiao Wang came back with two loose chips, without any packaging. “Since they’re not sourced through official channels, they’re just loose chips. Don’t mind that.”

Li Xiang wasn’t in a position to mind, as currently he was quite short on funds. Although there was a bonus for his overseas mission, it hadn’t been settled yet. His original plan was to use that money to renovate his home but now planned to buy chips instead, or he wouldn’t afford them.

“I wouldn’t dare to mind, it’s just that I don’t have that much money right now.”

“You helped me so much today. The direct and indirect economic losses you saved add up to over a million. Giving you two A100 chips is actually me taking advantage, so I wouldn’t dare charge you!”

That was the truth from Mengtao’s heart. If it wasn’t for Li Xiang today, she wouldn’t know how to handle the situation. Now the issue was not only resolved, but even the one causing the problem was dealt with, which was really satisfying.

The most crucial part was that she got to know Li Xiang, a computer expert, so if any issues arose in the future, she wouldn’t be clueless.

“How could I possibly accept this?”

Li Xiang felt a bit embarrassed as he pocketed the two A100 chips, which were worth nearly 150,000, equivalent to his annual salary.

“I was wondering how to thank you. You must take these chips. If you need more in the future, just let me know.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, thank you.”

Since he did indeed need these chips, Li Xiang accepted them without being too pretentious.

Now, all the components for his assembly workshop were complete. Once all the parts arrived, he could start assembling.

“It’s almost mealtime. Let me treat you to a meal.”

Li Xiang checked the time and realized it was indeed around noon, so he said, “Not today, I still have to go back and cook. My girlfriend’s coming home soon.”

“Captain Li has a girlfriend?”

Mengtao was a bit surprised but also thought it was only natural. After all, a man as excellent and family-oriented as him would surely have a girlfriend.

“It’s already this late, you won’t have time to buy groceries and cook. Why don’t you ask her to join us for a meal? We’re all young people, we can chat.”

At this moment, Li Xiang’s phone dinged, and he received a message, “Honey, come pick me up at the Holiday Cafe.”

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears; they had just mentioned Lin Feifei, and she texted.

Li Xiang remembered she drove when she went out, so asking him to accompany her now meant she probably encountered some trouble.

With this thought, Li Xiang said a bit anxiously, “I really don’t have time today. Something came up with my girlfriend. I have to go over now.”

“Wait, take my car.”

Seeing Li Xiang indeed anxious to leave, Mengtao didn’t press further. Remembering he came over in her car, she suggested he take hers for the urgent matter.

“Alright.”

Concerned about Feifei and fearing any mishap, Li Xiang didn’t stand on ceremony with Mengtao, grabbed the car keys, and left.

Coalball barked as the owner was leaving, but Li Xiang had already gone far, only his voice lingered, “I’ll take the car first, Coalball will keep you company.”

Coalball: “Woof woof woof~”

He found Mengtao’s Benz G in the parking slot downstairs, unlocked it with the key, and drove straight to the Holiday Cafe.

Twenty minutes later, Li Xiang arrived at the cafe.

Opening the door, he saw his girlfriend Lin Feifei, sitting across from two people, a man and a woman. The woman he recognized as Feifei’s assistant Xiao Ai, assigned by her company, but the man he’d never seen before, presumably Lin Feifei’s manager.
