With a "ding," everyone glanced at the message, including Ming Qiong, who had just returned to her workstation, and Xiong Kexuan, who had just finished her work.

Seeing that the message was from the Chairman, everyone felt a little nervous. After all, the Chairman had a history of sending messages that caused trouble before.

"@Everyone, all employees who receive this message must complete the installation and replacement of the Star Operating System as soon as possible for a one-week internal beta test. If you encounter any problems or have suggestions during this period, please provide feedback through the system's built-in feedback assistant.

The Star Operating System is for internal testing only. Copying, cutting, and external transmission are strictly prohibited. No information is to be disclosed to the outside. Violators will be prosecuted and bear all consequences!"

Attachment 1: Star.OS

Everyone who received the message was bewildered. When did the company develop an operating system?

Soon, many people reacted.

"I get it! I get it! This is what we've been developing for the past six months."

"No wonder! I was curious about what system we were developing when we were working on it. I had some guesses back then, but I wasn't sure. I didn't expect we were actually developing an operating system!"

"Hahaha, I never thought we'd develop a brand new operating system."

"Of course! An operating system! We never even dared to dream about it before!"

For a moment, the entire IT department was buzzing with excitement, except for Ming Qiong, who sat there with a pale face.

Looking at the smug faces of the people around her, Ming Qiong couldn't take it anymore.

Slap!

"Enough!!!"

The sound of a desk slamming and a furious roar brought the cheers to an abrupt halt. Everyone stiffly looked at Ming Qiong, who had suddenly lost her temper.

Even other departments on the same floor were startled by Ming Qiong's roar and turned to look.

Wang Jun, who was near the door, quietly closed the glass door. The tempered glass had soundproofing. After closing the door, it was almost impossible to hear what was happening inside, even if someone was roaring...

Ming Qiong, with red eyes, looked at her colleagues with a wronged expression.

"Are you all so happy? Do you think the Star Operating System was developed by you? You call that monstrosity you developed something to be proud of? Are you trying to make the company a laughingstock, to make others laugh at us when they use it?

Let me tell you, do you know why the Chairman called me down just now? Do you know what he told me?

The Chairman was relatively polite. He just said that the cars we built used bicycle wheels and the steering wheels were like tractor steering wheels.

In reality, don't you know what that means? It means the code we wrote is as messy as shit!

Are you still happy?"

Ming Qiong forcefully slapped her own face.

"How can you all laugh! My face is burning hot! What about your faces?!"

"Weren't you all jumping around so happily just now? Why aren't you jumping anymore? Jump a little more, entertain the other departments. Anyway, I've already lost all my dignity, so I don't mind losing a little more."

For a moment, everyone in the office had different expressions on their faces.

"When I returned, the Chairman said he would find a university professor to give us a lecture on software engineering and code optimization. He told us to listen attentively and learn diligently. After that, if we submit such garbage code again, we should prepare to pack our bags and leave."

After speaking, Ming Qiong, who was already feeling wronged, slumped onto her workstation and sobbed uncontrollably, showing none of her usual strong demeanor.

In the CEO's office, Xiong Kexuan felt terrible after glancing at the message Li Zhou had sent her.

Why was it that every time the boss came up with a product, she only found out when there was a finished product?

"Weixi."

"Yes."

Xiong Kexuan rubbed her forehead helplessly.

"Weixi, do you know when the development of the Star Operating System began?"

"Yes, according to the first code commit for the Star Operating System, development began on February 21st of this year. The Star System is developed by the company's IT department, with Weixi responsible for the overall code refactoring and optimization."

Xiong Kexuan, who was rubbing her forehead, paused. Hearing Weixi say that, Xiong Kexuan actually remembered. At the meeting at the beginning of the year, Li Zhou had indeed mentioned developing a super system.

But... but he never said they were developing an operating system.

Shaking her head, Xiong Kexuan clicked on the attachment and began the download.

Future Technology Company used Cat 6 network cables throughout, so the LAN speed was excellent.

In less than ten seconds, a 5.6GB system image was downloaded.

Xiong Kexuan double-clicked the Star Operating System image. There was only an installation button and a privacy protection guide. After checking the privacy protection guide and clicking the install button, it directly entered the installation process, as convenient as installing software.

This single advantage made Xiong Kexuan's eyes light up.

After all, not everyone was a professional and knew how to install an operating system themselves, especially older people.

The user-friendly installation was clearly more acceptable.

Outside the gates of Future Technology, a sturdy black stray dog wagged its tail and leisurely walked towards the entrance, as if patrolling its territory.

The security guards at the gate merely glanced at the appearance of the big black dog before ignoring it.

As for driving it away? Wasn't that a joke? Everyone knew that was the boss's family dog.

As soon as Big Black reached the entrance, the large door automatically opened.

Big Black swaggered towards the front desk.

"Woof!"

Hearing the dog bark, the young lady at the front desk quickly took a bowl from under the counter and poured some water into it.

After Big Black drank a few mouthfuls to its heart's content, it headed towards the elevator lobby.

After Big Black left, one of the young ladies at the front desk stuck out her tongue and complained, "I find Big Black to be more and more human-like. Didn't they say spirits were forbidden after the founding of the country?"

The receptionist beside her chuckled.

"Alright, there's nothing to be surprised about. If you watch short videos often, you'll find plenty of dogs smarter than Big Black, especially those retired military dogs."

"That's true."

Big Black skillfully arrived at -10F and walked directly towards Xiong Kexuan's office...

Instead of its owner Li Zhou's office.

Wang Fei saw the stout Big Black leisurely strolling into the office and said with a grin, "Oh, Big Black, you're here to freeload again."

Big Black gave the woman in front of it a disdainful look.

Ignoring her completely, it walked directly towards an office deeper inside.

Xiong Kexuan, who was experiencing the intelligence of the Star Operating System, merely glanced at Big Black as it entered and paid it no further mind.

That guy, besides coming to freeload with her daughter Nuonuo, would absolutely never come here otherwise.

After a long time, Xiong Kexuan was no longer afraid of her daughter being with Big Black, especially since Big Black was very smart.

Seeing Nuonuo crawling on the floor playing, especially with fragrant food in her hands, Big Black's eyes lit up, and it trotted over wagging its tail.
