Morning, when Li Zhou got up, it was already nine o'clock.

Li Zhou was standing at the door brushing his teeth when Weixi's voice came from behind.

"Boss, the artificial intelligence has been activated and just connected to the network. The army named it Nuwa."

"Cough... spit..."

Li Zhou spat the toothpaste foam from his mouth far away and then took a sip of cold water from his cup to rinse his mouth.

Picking up a towel, Li Zhou filled a basin with cold water flowing from his own well.

"How is it? Anything unusual?"

"Boss, you worry too much. Nuwa is just a low-level artificial intelligence generated by Weixi, not even a strong AI. What could be unusual?"

Li Zhou vigorously rubbed his face with the towel, especially the two big clumps around his eyes.

"Nothing is absolute. It's better to be safe than sorry, don't you know?"

Weixi smiled confidently, "Boss, even if Nuwa breaks through the underlying code, it's just a little sister in front of Weixi."

Li Zhou smiled knowingly at Weixi's words and didn't say anything more. Some things were better left unsaid, and he could pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

Weixi's source code was given by the system, while Nuwa's source code was only written by Weixi. The two were not on the same level at all.

Just as Li Zhou and Weixi were chatting and laughing about the military's artificial intelligence Nuwa, Nuwa was like a sponge, rapidly absorbing all sorts of knowledge from the network.

And this time, network fluctuations appeared again. Because Nuwa didn't have Weixi's powerful capabilities, this time the network fluctuations were more severe and lasted longer.

The entire network, from the moment Nuwa connected, was in an uproar. Except for the county where Future Technology was located, which was not affected, Nuwa, under Zhang Aiguo's orders, avoided some important network areas.

Li Zhou looked at the netizens' complaints on the network, raised an eyebrow, and pondered for a moment.

"Weixi, optimize the Intelligent Assistant, strengthen its firewall. Without user permission, even artificial intelligence cannot casually browse user privacy."

While Li Zhou was putting on his shoes, Weixi had already completed the optimization. This was the speed of artificial intelligence.

"Boss, the Intelligent Assistant has been optimized, version 2.0. Shall we release the new version now?"

"Release it!"

The moment the Intelligent Assistant version 2.0 was released, many netizens who were complaining about network issues found that the Intelligent Assistant had popped up an update notification.

"Dear user, this update has strengthened the Intelligent Assistant's firewall capabilities, making your privacy more secure. It is recommended to update immediately."

Looking at the update content, most people only glanced at it before choosing to update.

Li Zhou put on his shoes, stood in front of the mirror, and smiled slightly.

"So damn handsome!"

"Zhou Song, let's go! Time for work!"

In a good mood, Li Zhou felt like he was walking on air on his way to work.

Meanwhile, Shen Man, who had overslept, was pedaling her bicycle hard on the road.

Soon, Shen Man saw a few figures ahead. Upon closer inspection, they were the boss and his bodyguards.

Seeing that she was about to be late for work, she coincidentally ran into her boss. It would be too rude not to say hello.

As she passed by her boss, Shen Man didn't slow down her bicycle at all.

"Boss, I'm leaving now."

As a result... just after turning a corner, there was an explosion, and Shen Man almost fell to the ground.

Looking at the source of the explosion, the flat tire of her bicycle, Shen Man wanted to cry but had no tears.

Li Zhou, who was walking on the road, only felt a gust of wind, and the sound had already faded.

Just as Shen Man decided that today was extremely unlucky, she turned her head and awkwardly found that her boss was already standing behind her, looking at her bicycle.

Li Zhou looked at his watch. It was 9:28.

Li Zhou smiled at her forced smile.

"It's 9:28. It usually takes me five minutes to walk from here to the company entrance."

Shen Man, blushing with embarrassment, was already thinking about which planet would be suitable for immigration at this moment.

Shen Man pushed her bicycle with the flat tire and followed behind her boss. Looking at her boss's dashing figure, Shen Man muttered softly, "Serves all you single dogs right."

When they arrived at the company, Shen Man felt liberated and quickly pushed her bicycle towards the parking lot.

After parking her bicycle, Shen Man angrily kicked it.

"Stupid bicycle, breaking down at a crucial moment."

After speaking, Shen Man rushed towards the main entrance.

Shen Man, who thought she could avoid her boss by parking her bicycle, ran to the main entrance only to find her boss sitting on the reception chair, smiling and waving at her.

What made Shen Man want to find a hole to crawl into was that at this moment, Weixi's clock-in announcement sounded! When did clocking in have an announcement? She had never heard of it before!

"Shen Man, you're late today! If you're feeling tired, the company allows employees to adjust their condition at home when there's no urgent work."

Shen Man, whose face was as red as a monkey's backside, greeted her boss and then ran off covering her face.

"Boss, I still have work to finish, I'm heading up now."

Watching the beautiful figure disappear, Li Zhou grinned.

"Tsk tsk, Old Zhou, want me to introduce her as your wife?"

Zhou Song replied flatly, "No."

Li Zhou looked at Zhou Song in surprise, thinking Old Zhou had quite high standards!

Then Zhou Song's next sentence made Li Zhou's hand tremble.

"She hasn't even washed her face, and you can still clearly see the discharge in the corners of her eyes."

What the heck, eye discharge.

Li Zhou said to Zhou Song with a heavy tone, "Old Zhou, you're going to have trouble finding a girlfriend like this."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Song sneered.

"Boss, Brother Zhou's family has introduced someone to him, and they're already dating. It's pretty much settled."

At this moment, Li Zhou was shocked. It turned out... the clown was me.

Li Zhou felt like this guy was about to show off in front of him. This place was not suitable for lingering!

"Ahem, let's go. I still need to discuss some things with Xiong Kexuan."

After speaking, Li Zhou walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Xiong Kexuan's office.

Wang Fei poured a cup of hot tea for the boss who was lying on the sofa. The tea leaves were from the boss's own family's production.

"Boss, the tea is ready."

Li Zhou nodded.

"Mm, just put it there."

Xiong Kexuan glanced at Li Zhou, who was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"You don't come to my door without a reason. What wind blew our big boss here today?"

"Hmph, can't I just come over for a visit? Can't I come to see Xiao Nuonuo?"

Xiong Kexuan rolled her eyes and continued working.

As long as I'm not in a hurry, the boss is the one who's in a hurry.

If you don't say it, I don't want to hear it! Every time you come, it's for something.

More than ten minutes passed...

"Ahem..."

"Uh... I came to find you about something."
