Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

223: Chapter 224 Singularity Reaches Global Heights, But Zhang Fan Wants to Be a Lazy Bum!On the electronic screen of the New York Stock Exchange, a string of red numbers was jumping wildly—Singularity Technology’s stock price broke through $888 per share, with its market value settling at $1.2 trillion, officially surpassing numerous Western enterprises to become the world’s most valuable technology company.

Thunderous applause erupted within the exchange, and on the scrolling news ticker at the bottom of the screen, the headline ”Eastern Technology Rewrites the Global Landscape” was exceptionally eye-catching.

At the same time, at the award ceremony of the Davos Forum in Switzerland, the spotlight focused on Zhang Fan.

When the forum chairman handed the ”Global Tech Leader” trophy to him, the entire audience stood up, and the applause lasted for a full three minutes.

The chairman’s voice carried through the speakers across the venue: ”Mr. Zhang Fan has led Singularity Technology to break Western monopolies with the Photon Chip, save millions of lives with AI healthcare, and open a new era of space exploration with the Star Core Engine; he is not just a tech entrepreneur, but a leader changing the world!”

Facing the tidal wave of praise, Zhang Fan appeared somewhat distracted.

He took the trophy and said softly into the microphone: ”Thank you all for the recognition, but I would prefer to be called ’Ordinary Zhang Fan’.”

The achievements of Singularity come from the efforts of the entire team and the trust of global users.

Right now, what I want to do most is go home and have a hot meal with my family.”

This ”inappropriate” remark instantly triggered laughter from the audience, but it also allowed the media to capture a new topic.

A reporter from the Wall Street Journal immediately followed up: ”Mr. Zhang, are you saying that you will withdraw from the daily management of Singularity? Does this mean that Singularity will enter the ’Post-Zhang Fan Era’?”

”Withdrawal is not the word, but I will delegate authority.”

Zhang Fan’s gaze swept over Zhou Yurou and Song Zhiwei in the audience, as well as the smiling faces of Liu Ruyan and Lin Wanyi on the screen, his tone sincere: ”Singularity has already established a perfect management system, and my team is more adept at daily operations than I am.

In the future, I will focus my energy on core strategy and technology research and development, leaving more time for life.”

After the award ceremony, the backstage lounge was bustling with activity.

Song Zhiwei held the latest media reports and teased with a smile: ”’Global Tech Leader Wants to Be a Slacker’—this headline has already surged to the number one spot on the global trending list.

Did you know? Now there are presidents from three countries who want to meet you, and over a dozen top universities have invited you to be an honorary president.”

Zhou Yurou was revising the research and development plan for the Star Core Engine; hearing this, she looked up and said: ”The technical team has completed the prototype design for the next-generation Photon Chip, with performance improved by 50% over the current one, and we need you to finalize the R&D direction.

Additionally, the cooperation agreement with the European Space Agency has been drafted, and they hope we will participate in the chip supply for their Mars exploration project.”

On the screen, Liu Ruyan waved her hand, with the Southeast Asia logistics hub center in the background: ”The eastern technology standard Southeast Asia operations center has been completed, and the unveiling ceremony was held today; even the local prime minister attended.

However, rest assured, I have already handed over the daily management to professional managers; you only need to listen to reports at quarterly meetings.”

Lin Wanyi had just finished her global concert tour, her face bearing a trace of fatigue yet still radiant: ”In the name of the Singularity Charity Foundation, I have launched the ’AI Medical Aid Program’ and have already established 10 medical stations in Africa.

UNESCO wants to present you with the ’Human Contribution Award’, but I have postponed it to next month for you to leave enough time for rest.”

Looking at everyone bustling about for the cause before him, Zhang Fan felt both moved and guilty.

Over the past few years, he had poured all his energy into the development of Singularity, and had very little time to accompany his family.
