Evolutionary Superstar

After Lin Haoren took Oreo and left with Assistant Du, the camera crew all gathered around Director Chen.

"Director Chen, I have a feeling Lin Haoren will bring a big surprise to our show!" Zhang Wei said excitedly.

"I must say I was quite surprised, too," Director Chen honestly admitted. "I was actually a bit biased, thinking Xiao Ren would be like other content creators and influencers, being difficult to get along with."

"However, he was very humble, honest, and principled, on top of being talented and humorous. It seems like we’ve picked up a treasure this time," Director Chen said emotionally.

Everyone couldn’t help but agree with his statement.

They originally just wanted to ride Oreo’s viral popularity to improve their show’s TV ratings for one episode.

However, they had all underestimated Lin Haoren.

Now, they felt like one episode might not be enough. They wanted to keep him. Still, they couldn’t be certain of the actual situation until they started filming tomorrow.

After all, a good first impression wasn’t enough. Only time would tell a person’s true worth.

"I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s filming now."

"Yeah."

...

Beiyang International Grand Hotel, Room 2204

After returning to his assigned 5-star accommodation, Lin Haoren inspected the apartment. It was upscale, clean, and new.

It was better than his rented apartment in every way.

However, Lin Haoren did not feel at home. It lacked that comfortable feeling of being at home.

Lin Haoren couldn’t help but wonder about the extent of the Housekeeping Skill. If it was raised high enough, wouldn’t every visitor wish they would never leave?

That would be quite the dilemma.

After unpacking his luggage and settling down, he grabbed his laptop and took a seat by the balcony with an excellent view of Beiyang City.

Although he was away from home, he also felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.

He felt a lively atmosphere in Beiyang City that Jinhai City seemed to lack. On the contrary, Jinhai City felt suffocating.

’Since my career path has been blocked in Jinhai City for whatever reason, I can consider establishing a foothold in Beiyang,’ Lin Haoren thought.

The 1 million yuan capital was perfect for an AI startup company.

"Lumi, I want to establish an AI company in Beiyang City under the name Renran Technology Co., Ltd. with a 1 million yuan capital. I want the company to be operational within two weeks. Is that possible?"

[Company Establishment Plan]

Company name: Renran Technology Co., Ltd.

Proposed registered capital: 1,000,000 yuan

Shareholder: Lin Haoren — 100%

Business scope: AI software development, technology development, technical consulting...

Registered address: Beiyang High-Tech Industrial Park

"Master, I’ve prepared the registration documents and identified five suitable office spaces. The only actions requiring your personal participation are identity verification, execution of the lease, registration authorization/ signature, corporate bank verification, and capital transfer."

Lin Haoren sucked in a deep breath after hearing Lumi’s update on the Company Establishment Plan.

Many tedious steps were handled by Lumi, saving him much trouble.

All he needed to do was basically make verbal agreements, sign papers, and transfer money?

Starting an AI company could actually be so easy.

Lin Haoren felt relieved that he could leave most of the grunt work to Lumi and other people.

After all, the purpose of the AI startup company was to make lots of money and eliminate Xeraphi’s AI. If it took up all his time, how could he pursue his dream career?

"Master, I’ve just checked the national enterprise-registration databases and current naming requirements. ’Renran Technology’ has no conflicting registered company name in Beiyang City and meets the naming requirements. Probability of approval is 97.4%."

"97.4%?"

"The remaining 2.6% depends on the registration authority’s final review."

"I see." Lin Haoren nodded with understanding, then asked, "And the suitable office spaces?"

Lumi quickly pulled up the five locations within Beiyang High-Tech Industrial Park for Lin Haoren to have a look.

Since his AI startup was just a small company, he only needed 1-2 floors within a building for his company’s office space.

Company expansion could be considered after he licensed patented technology to other AI companies.

However, considering the possibility of the Big Three’s network being potential nests for Xeraphi’s AI, he certainly didn’t want his AI startup to share the same building.

Fortunately, Lumi had already taken this into consideration when she scouted the five suitable locations.

"Not bad," Lin Haoren commented.

Each office space was quite good.

In fact, there were many available office spaces for rent in Beiyang High-Tech Industrial Park, following Beiyang City’s booming development.

"Let’s go with this one." Lin Haoren picked Innovation Tower, Building 7, 11th Floor, Unit 1106.

Office area: 238 square meters.

"Master, would you also like me to design the office layout?"

"Sure."

Lin Haoren was more than happy to be a completely hands-off boss.

Within a couple of minutes, Lumi generated several designs of different styles. Lin Haoren decided to go with a research institute layout.

It gave a futuristic sense, quite suitable for a base that would introduce future technology to the world.

After completing everything he needed to do on the AI startup’s end, Lin Haoren opened a new document to write his novel.

Given the novel’s rapidly growing popularity, he had to capitalize on it to earn his next pot of gold and raise his Storywriting Skill.

Depending on the novel’s success, he could inject more capital into his AI startup.

It would be awkward if the capital chain broke before the licensing deals could be secured.

With Lumi’s management, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Still, having some backup funds in case of emergency or special situations would add a layer of security.

Besides checking in regularly with Su Xiaoran and receiving updates on her end, Lin Haoren had also been messaging Qin Feng.

The B-list actor invited him to dinner to thank him for saving his life.

Unfortunately, Lin Haoren couldn’t accept the invitation when he was in another province. They could only postpone the plan to a later date.

[Little Brother, you must let me know when you get back to Jinhai! I must thank you properly for saving my life!]

[Alright, Brother Qin. It’s a plan. I definitely won’t miss the chance to mooch a free meal off you.]

[Hahahaha, that’s more like it!]
