Chen Mo stopped in his tracks. Just as he turned back, he saw a woman walking towards him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was the female sales representative from the agency chasing after him.

The woman had shoulder-length black hair and looked sharp and capable, with a strong presence, dressed much like a powerful career woman. However, Chen Mo was certain he didn't know this woman.

But this beautiful woman looked a little familiar. Where had he seen her before?

With his photographic memory, if he had seen her face-to-face, he would definitely have an impression of such a capable short-haired beauty.

Perhaps it was just a glance in the crowd.

"Calling me?"

Chen Mo looked left and right, and only after confirming there was no one else around did he realize the other person was calling him.

"It's you."

Zhao Min stopped in front of him and looked him up and down. Earlier, she had only seen Chen Mo's back. Now seeing his face, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. The two figures overlapped, and she was certain.

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

"Uh? Something wrong?" Chen Mo didn't deny it.

It had caused quite a stir back then, even making it onto the news hot search. Many people were looking for him and Xiao Yu, the couple. Because the lighting wasn't good at the time, the photos online didn't show their faces clearly.

Later, news broke about a celebrity's affair, which overshadowed this incident, and his life wasn't disturbed.

He didn't expect someone to still remember and even recognize him.

"I was there that night. The bag that thug snatched was mine," Zhao Min said.

When Chen Mo jumped out to save the baby girl, her heart almost leaped out of her chest. She was deeply impressed by Chen Mo's agile movements.

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

"It wasn't me who snatched your bag back."

"You saved someone, it's the same. It's rare to meet again by chance, let's eat something together as a small thank you."

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo. This young man didn't seem like an ordinary person. The depth and confidence in his eyes were very attractive.

"Okay," Chen Mo said without hesitation.

If there was a free dinner, and a beautiful woman was treating, not eating would be foolish.

Along the way, Zhao Min kept looking at this 'big boy' who seemed several years younger than her, seemingly full of curiosity about Chen Mo.

"My name is Zhao Min, Zhang Wuji's Zhao Min. May I ask your name, little hero?" Zhao Min broke the silence. Chen Mo's act of saving someone back then had left a very good first impression on her.

"Uh? My name is Chen Mo." Chen Mo rubbed his nose. "I don't dare to be called a little hero."

"Where are you currently working?"

"No job."

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

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

Chen Mo smiled at Zhao Min and turned his gaze to the stream of cars on the roadside.

"Starting a business? Starting a business now is also good. What industry are you planning to enter? I've managed companies, maybe I can give you some advice. If there's a suitable opportunity, I can introduce some partners to you."

Zhao Min had a good impression of Chen Mo. If she could help him, she wouldn't be stingy.

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

Seeing Zhao Min so enthusiastic, Chen Mo didn't hide anything.

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

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo in surprise, then looked up at the restaurant by the roadside and led him inside.

"The technology field is the most difficult area for new entrepreneurs to enter. If you choose this field, do you have sufficient funds, technology, or a research and development team?"

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

"I have funds, and I have products. I don't have a team. The company was just registered."

As Chen Mo spoke, he picked up the menu, opened it, ordered a few dishes that would fill him up, and handed it to the waiter.

The two chatted, getting to know each other initially, and the conversation became much more relaxed.

Zhao Min had a very good impression of Chen Mo, so she was a little more proactive. A young man risked his life to save someone; if she could help, she wouldn't mind repaying him.

"Don't just talk about me, what are you currently doing?" Chen Mo turned the topic to Zhao Min.

"Former Vice President of Wanbao Group Greater China, I've resigned now and am currently unemployed."

Chen Mo looked at Zhao Min in surprise, quickly took out his phone to search, and after seeing her information and photos, a happy smile appeared on his face.

What he lacked now was a capable person who could manage a company. This was simply heaven seeing that he was sleepy and giving him a pillow.

At this moment, Chen Mo stared at Zhao Min like a wolf seeing meat, his eyes shining brightly.

"I have a bold idea."

Chen Mo cleared his choked throat. After chatting so much, he had also relaxed a lot, at least not as constrained as he was at the beginning.

"Tell me?"

"I want you..."

"I'm not interested in little brothers," Zhao Min said, looking at Chen Mo with a slight smile.

"I wasn't finished. I want you to help me manage the company. The company is successfully registered, and I was just looking for a manager. We're fated, so let's just go with what fate has arranged."

Zhao Min was a top talent, with a Master's in Business Administration and two years as Vice President of Wanbao Group's China region. He absolutely wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.

"That's a bold idea, trying to get something for nothing," Zhao Min said, looking at Chen Mo with a faint smile. "What's your company name? How many people? What's the product? How much capital?"

"The company was just successfully registered..."

"Little brother, while I appreciate you being a good Samaritan, I don't have the free time to accompany you on your startup journey."

"Drop the 'little'," Chen Mo said, looking annoyed. "I have the capital and the product. I just need you to help me recruit staff and manage the company. Of course, I won't pay you poorly."

"How much capital? Little brother," Zhao Min picked up the boiled water from the table and said playfully.

"Where am I little?" A vein throbbed on Chen Mo's forehead. "I have tens of millions in capital..."

"What? Cough, cough..."

Zhao Min was drinking water and choked, coughing violently.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Mo felt pleased and casually handed her the tissues from the table.

"Do you just make things up without thinking?"

"Look at this," Chen Mo placed the bank balance information in front of Zhao Min.

"Did you rob someone? Little brother."

Seeing the numbers on the screen, Zhao Min's eyes widened with surprise. She hadn't expected Chen Mo to be a little rich kid.

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

"My salary is very high. If you're just a rich kid playing around with your parents' money, it's better to go home and enjoy yourself."

"Have you ever seen such a handsome rich kid?"

Zhao Min laughed. This Chen Mo was interesting. "Then you said you have a product. What is it?"

"A freshly developed smartphone operating system."

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

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

"What's the stake?"

"You!"

"Do you want my wealth or my body?" Zhao Min said teasingly.

"I want you."

Chen Mo ignored Zhao Min's teasing and took out the HuaWei phone that had been successfully flashed, placing it in front of Zhao Min.

"This has the new system I developed. You can find a professional to verify it. If it's a new system, you join my company and help me manage it. If not, this phone is the price of the joke."

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo with a slight smile.

Chen Mo's calm and confident demeanor made her hesitate. Chen Mo didn't look like he was lying, and there was no benefit for him to lie at this point.

"If it's true, I can join you. Maybe I can become the richest woman in the future, right?"

Zhao Min picked up the phone and took a look. To her surprise, it was indeed not the Android system.

Although she wasn't very knowledgeable about technology, she had changed Android phones many times. This operating interface was definitely not the Android system, nor was it HuaWei's own system.

However, it didn't rule out the possibility that it was a counterfeit phone. But she already believed Chen Mo's words by a third.

Zhao Min put the phone down and looked back at Chen Mo. "What's your company name?"

"Army Ant, an Army Ant that just left the nest."

Please recommend, collect, and rate. The new book is starting, and these are all very important. Thank you everyone. The ant is extremely grateful.
