Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

Being clingy was inevitable, and even on the way back, An Feng leaned against Qi Hao's chest.

The mother-in-law turned into the driver.

The house was still the same, except Ms. Liu and Mrs. Qi had moved here.

Although Qi Hao suggested hiring a nanny, both felt relying on outsiders was unreliable.

They thought it's better to take care of things themselves.

After Qi Hao returned, he didn't have much to do. Besides movie editing, there was just keeping An Feng entertained.

An Feng was three to four months pregnant and had already begun experiencing many pregnancy symptoms.

Qi Hao was not unfamiliar with this.

It's not that he's been pregnant before, nor had he cared for a pregnant woman.

It's mainly because during his time filming in Xiangjiang, he found quite a few books and memorized them one by one.

What husband works this hard?

Qi Hao was almost moved to tears by himself.

Well, it's because he had a photographic memory with his glasses.

Qi Hao had worn only one pair of glasses for several consecutive years, and many people commented that although he was a billionaire, he was very frugal.

Not just his glasses, but also his recliner.

The crew said the director loved his recliner and had been using it for several years.

And his old model Santana car.

This car appeared more often than a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"It's best to eat less watermelon because it's cold in nature and may cause gestational diabetes."

Qi Hao cut a piece of watermelon into two halves, and under An Feng's watchful eyes, he ate one small part of it in a few bites.

"You... Do you believe I can cry for you now, cry really loudly, and make you get beaten today?"

The day's food ration was originally just a piece, and this bastard ate half of it.

Already emotional due to pregnancy, An Feng was on the verge of tears, even threatening him.

If An Feng really cried and cried loudly.

The mother-in-law might not dare beat Qi Hao, but An Feng's mother-in-law would definitely stand up for her daughter-in-law.

"Eating less is for your own good."

Qi Hao suddenly felt the watermelon in his mouth wasn't sweet anymore.

"Obviously, you just wanted to eat!"

Throwing a fit is a pregnant woman's exclusive right.

"Are you hot? I'll fan you."

Qi Hao quickly tried to make amends.

"There's air conditioning, it's much cooler than your fanning, coax me to take a nap."

An Feng had no problem with air conditioning now, and those who were pregnant still went to work, and the office air conditioning was still routinely turned on.

"You don't need coaxing, you fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes."

Qi Hao muttered softly.

He was actually very grateful that An Feng's pregnancy reactions weren't strong.

Unlike the one at Old Tian's house.

Madam Tian was discovered pregnant because she was vomiting, and then she kept vomiting, almost never stopping.

She even couldn't continue her job at school.

Just directly resigned and stayed home to rest during pregnancy.

Anyway, with Old Tian's income and capabilities, starting a kindergarten of his own wouldn't be an issue.

In comparison, An Feng's appetite was good, her sleep was healthy, except for occasionally throwing a small fit at Qi Hao, everything was quite normal.

For other celebrities, pregnancy didn't affect their filming.

Not many were willing to stop for one or two years.

By the time the child was born, there might be no place for them in the entertainment circle.

An Feng had one more advantage.

Her husband could stay home with her most of the time.

But Old Tian couldn't.

As the CEO of East Hao Group, there were too many things under its various subsidiaries or business units for him to attend to.

Especially the newly established North Hao Tech.

A new company that received a ten billion investment right off the bat, built from scratch, and also operated across industries, the level of hard work involved was imaginable.

Old Tian letting his wife get pregnant, the entire company had to praise him as a real man.

He was busy with work, plus his wife's severe pregnancy symptoms.

Old Tian almost broke down.

He almost wanted to drag Qi Hao by the hair to work overtime at the company.

Qi Hao, feeling helpless, decided to send Zhang Nan to fill the gap.

Zhang Nan originally was responsible for novels, comics, and video websites, intending to integrate them for resource sharing and maximization.

In the future, it might integrate into a company called South Hao Cultural or something similar.

The company name was already reserved.

Now, due to the short staffing, they could only temporarily put it on hold and let each develop for a while.

Fortunately, whether novels, comics, or video websites, all had their respective management teams.

```

Zhang Nan successfully took over as the new president of Beihai Technology.

He has a strong family background.

It's especially useful when dealing with various relationships.

Honestly, the technology sector suits him better than the cultural sector.

In the six months since the research institute was founded, it has already produced quite a few results.

About a dozen patents have been applied for.

Two of them were sold to state-owned enterprises, and one was sold to Huawei.

The transaction amounts were not high, but they were very significant.

A patented technology that can attract Huawei's interest is definitely not something that can be developed casually.

Moreover, it has a very positive effect.

That is, it dispelled doubts and suspicions about Xihai Technology.

Beihai Technology didn't jump in announcing it would develop 3nm chips or make its own lithography machines.

Although the advanced technology package does include some partial technology in this area, using it could at least shorten the technological gap with the West by several years.

But there are too many conmen around these days.

Unless you have someone with influence, you can't really deceive a country that has been conned many times.

Qi Hao's plan is to use a year or two to build Beihai Technology's reputation. If they have a few hundred patent technologies, it will not only continuously energize the company but also solidly establish its name.

Then, they can venture into such high-end fields.

No one would dare to ridicule Beihai Technology.

Since Zhang Nan took over Beihai Technology, he has been working diligently. He also knows where his advantages lie and does not shy away from leveraging his family network.

Don't think that Beihai Technology only having developed a dozen patents in six months is too few.

In reality, many technology companies' patents are bought outright.

Or they directly hire researchers with patents, which are then counted as the company's patent resources.

There are plenty of companies with no research outcomes for one or two years.

Many companies just carry the label of a technology company to enjoy subsidies and tax policies for tech companies, but in fact, are engaged in low-end industries.

Beihai Technology does not concern itself with revenue; they are wholeheartedly focused on research, which leaves everyone puzzled.

Moreover, the first few months were mainly for laying the foundation, recruiting talent, and setting up the institute's system. The output rate will only increase in the future.

Under Zhang Nan's promotion, Beihai Technology established cooperative mechanisms with several universities in the capital.

Hidden among the populace, many researchers are actually educators at universities.

Having them give up university positions to conduct research at a private tech company sounds almost like a joke.

Those accepting the offers are mainly young people.

Without any roots, they are willing to take risks. As long as they are given a chance, they will seize it firmly.

There are also some from the middle generation.

It's tremendously challenging to stand out within the system, especially if there's a teacher ahead of you who won't retire for a decade or more.

Instead of continuing to be suppressed and assisting others, it's better to try stepping out for three to five years.

If Beihai Technology doesn't work out, they can just return to school.

If they cannot return, it's not a big deal, as there will be many people wanting them wherever they go.

However, they never anticipated that, after entering the research institute under Beihai Technology, results would appear so quickly.

They received research tasks and found that the tasks given were more practical. Clearly, the company's main goal is still to monetize and make profits.

That's a good thing, as only by achieving profitability can research be sustained.

The biggest shortcoming of private enterprises is the lack of a safety net from the state.

Yet, much to these researchers' surprise, they managed to achieve breakthroughs after just a few months of research.

This efficiency!

It's likely they wouldn't be this efficient after several years at a university.

Could it be that laziness and scheming within the system really quench their drive; or were they really restrained by being suppressed previously?

Even more delightful is the bonus.

Beihai Technology started by investing one billion, a substantial portion of which is allocated to the reward mechanism.

These researchers, who could only scrape by at universities before, suddenly found themselves not knowing how to spend the excess money.

They all have classmates and friends.

Such examples of sudden wealth attracted more talent to continue joining.

Combined with Zhang Nan's promotion and collaboration with universities.

Essentially, researchers from the older, middle, and younger generations are all present.

Unless something unexpected happens, Beihai Technology has solidified its footing in the research community.

Another person who has relieved a lot of burden for Old Tian is Yang Liu.

She has almost entirely taken over the affairs of Zhonghao Entertainment.

Lately, she's been busy trying to push for a stock market listing.

However, the process of going public is very complex, and it might not succeed even after a year or so.

Nevertheless, rumors about it have caused quite a stir.

Currently, two film and television stocks have been listed.

Mrs. Hua's is like crap.

Despite receiving massive investments from Jack Ma, there are recent reports that their company is involved in numerous tax issues, and even black-and-white contracts.

Hence, stock investors dare not touch it anymore.
