I Want You

Chen Mo stopped in his tracks. The moment he turned around, he saw a woman walking toward him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the female sales representative from the agency had chased after him.

The woman had shoulder-length teal hair and looked sharp and capable, with a powerful presence. She was dressed much like a strong career woman. However, Chen Mo was certain that he did not know her.

Still, this beauty looked somewhat familiar. Where had he seen her before?

With his photographic memory, if he had met a sharp short-haired beauty like her face-to-face, he would definitely remember.

Maybe he had merely glanced at her in a crowd.

"You called me?"

Chen Mo looked around and, seeing no one nearby, finally confirmed that she was calling for him.

"Yes, you."

Zhao Min stopped before him and looked him over from head to toe. Earlier, she had only seen Chen Mo's back. Now that she saw his face, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. The two figures overlapped in her mind, and she was certain.

"You're the young man who saved that baby on the shopping street half a month ago?" Zhao Min asked with certainty.

"Uh? Is something wrong?" Chen Mo did not deny it.

It had caused quite a stir at the time and even made the trending news. Many people had been looking for him and Xiao Yu, the couple. Because the lighting had been poor, none of the photos online clearly showed their faces.

Later, news of a celebrity cheating broke out, burying the incident's popularity, and his life was not disturbed.

He had not expected anyone to still remember, much less recognize him.

"I was at the scene that night. The bag that thug snatched was mine," Zhao Min said.

When Chen Mo had leaped out to save the baby girl, her heart had nearly jumped out of her chest. His agile skills had left a deep impression on her.

"Let's have a meal together. My treat, as a small token of thanks."

"I wasn't the one who got your bag back."

"You saved someone. It's all the same. It's rare for us to meet again by fate, so let's eat something together as a small thank-you."

Zhao Min studied Chen Mo. This young man did not seem ordinary. The depth and confidence in his eyes were very attractive.

"Sure," Chen Mo said without hesitation.

With a free dinner on offer, only an idiot would refuse—especially when a beauty was treating.

Along the way, Zhao Min kept observing this "big boy," who appeared several years younger than she was. She seemed full of curiosity about Chen Mo.

"My name is Zhao Min, Zhao Min from Zhang Wuji. May I know your distinguished name, little hero?" Zhao Min broke the silence. Chen Mo's act of saving someone had given her an excellent first impression.

"Uh? My name is Chen Mo." Chen Mo rubbed his nose. "I wouldn't dare call myself a hero."

"Where are you working at the moment?"

"I don't have a job."

"You don't look like someone without a job. Want me to introduce you to one?" Zhao Min asked.

"No need. I'm preparing to start a business."

Chen Mo smiled at Zhao Min and shifted his gaze to the stream of traffic passing by the roadside.

"Starting a business? That's not bad these days. What line are you planning to enter? I've managed companies before, so perhaps I can give you some advice. If there's a suitable opportunity, I can introduce you to some partners."

Zhao Min had a good impression of Chen Mo. If she could help him, she would not be stingy about it.

"High-tech products and technology research and development."

Seeing how enthusiastic Zhao Min was, Chen Mo did not hide anything.

"High-tech products? Technology research and development?"

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo in surprise, then glanced at a restaurant by the road and led him inside.

"The technology sector is the hardest field for first-time entrepreneurs to enter. Since you chose it, do you have sufficient funding, technology, or an R&D team?"

Zhao Min chose a window seat, and Chen Mo sat across from her.

"I have funding and products, but no team. The company was just registered."

As he spoke, Chen Mo picked up the menu and flipped it open, casually ordered several filling dishes, and handed it to the waiter.

As the two talked, they got to know each other a little better, and the conversation became much more open.

Zhao Min had a very good impression of Chen Mo, so she took the initiative. A young man who risked his life to save someone deserved repayment if she could help him.

"Enough about me. What are you doing now?" Chen Mo shifted the topic to Zhao Min.

"Former vice president of the Wanbao Group's Greater China Region. I've resigned, so I currently don't have a job."

Chen Mo stared at Zhao Min in surprise, quickly took out his phone, and searched for her. After seeing her profile and photo, he broke into a delighted smile.

What he lacked now was a capable person who knew how to manage a company. It was like heaven had handed him a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.

At that moment, Chen Mo looked at Zhao Min like a wolf spotting meat, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"I have a bold idea."

Chen Mo cleared his throat after choking on his food. After talking for so long, he had loosened up considerably and was no longer as restrained as before.

"Let's hear it."

"I want you..."

"I'm not interested in little boys." Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo and smiled softly.

"I'm not finished. I want you to help me manage my company. The company has just been registered, and I was just about to find a manager. Since we're fated to meet, let's follow heaven's arrangements."

Zhao Min was high-level talent. She had graduated with an MBA and had served as vice president of the Wanbao Group's China region for two years. He would never let such a good opportunity slip away.

"That is a bold idea. You want to catch a wolf with empty hands." Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo with a faint smile. "What's your company called? How many employees do you have? What product do you have? How much funding?"

"The company was just registered..."

"Little brother, I may be grateful that you stepped up to save someone, but I don't have the time to accompany you in starting a business."

"Drop the 'little.'" Chen Mo looked frustrated. "I have funding and products. I only need you to help recruit people and manage the company. Of course, your salary won't be low."

"How much funding, little brother?" Zhao Min picked up the glass of water beside the table and asked teasingly.

"What's little about me?" The veins on Chen Mo's forehead twitched. "I have several tens of millions in funding..."

"What? Cough, cough..."

Zhao Min had been drinking water and immediately choked, coughing desperately.

Seeing her like that, Chen Mo felt quite pleased and casually handed her a tissue from the table.

"Do you make up lies without even drafting them first?"

"Look at this." Chen Mo placed his bank balance information before Zhao Min.

"Did you rob someone, little brother?"

Seeing the number displayed, Zhao Min's eyes filled with surprise. She had not expected Chen Mo to be a wealthy young man.

"Still calling me little brother?" Dark lines appeared on Chen Mo's forehead. "This is legal income after taxes."

"My salary is very high. If you're just a spoiled heir playing around with your parents' money, you'd be better off going home to eat, drink, and have fun."

"Have you ever seen such a handsome spoiled heir?"

Zhao Min laughed. This Chen Mo was rather interesting. "Then what is this product you mentioned?"

"A freshly released smartphone operating system."

"I've found you have two strengths. Besides doing good deeds without leaving your name behind, you can also lie without blushing," Zhao Min said with a smile.

"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet on whether I really have a smartphone operating system."

"What's the stake?"

"You."

"Do you want my money or my body?" Zhao Min asked teasingly.

"I want you."

Ignoring Zhao Min's teasing, Chen Mo took out the HuaWei Phone that had successfully been flashed and placed it before her.

"It has a new system I developed. You can have professionals verify it. If it's a new system, you'll join my company and help me manage it. If it isn't, this phone will be the price of my joke."

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo with a faint smile.

Chen Mo's calm, confident manner made her begin to hesitate. He did not look like he was lying, and lying at a time like this would not benefit him at all.

"If it's real, joining you is fine. Maybe I'll become the richest woman in the future, right?"

Zhao Min picked up the phone and looked it over. To her surprise, it was indeed not the Android System.

Although she did not know much about technology, she had used many Android phones. This interface was definitely not the Android System, nor was it the system that came with Huawei Micro phones.

Still, it could be a knockoff phone. Yet she already believed three tenths of Chen Mo's words.

Zhao Min put the phone away and turned her gaze back to Chen Mo. "What is your company called?"

"Army Ant. An army ant that has just left its nest."

Please recommend, bookmark, and review. These are all very important for a new book. I'm asking everyone for a favor. Ant would be immensely grateful.
