The two looked at each other, their eyes a little strange. Neither spoke. Chen Mo's mind raced. What did he owe Zhao Min? Besides the dinner last night, he didn't seem to have any other interactions with Zhao Min.
After a few seconds, Zhao Min finally smiled. "You haven't given me the employment contract for your company's general manager."
Chen Mo also smiled. "I'll give it to you now."
After drafting and printing the contract and signing their names, Zhao Min handed the contract to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo then handed the company's documents to Zhao Min. "I'll transfer the money to the company's account later. The rest is up to you."
"Alright, you can be the hands-off boss."
Zhao Min drained the coffee in her cup, took a new phone from her bag, and handed it to Chen Mo. "Help me flash a system."
Chen Mo took the phone and casually pulled out his laptop from his backpack. Ten minutes later, seeing "Success" displayed on the computer screen, Chen Mo unplugged the phone and returned it to Zhao Min.
"Done."
"That fast." Zhao Min took the phone, blinking as she looked at Chen Mo. "I have a cousin, she said she wants to marry you." Zhao Min said this on a whim.
"Cough... cough cough cough..."
Chen Mo spat out the juice in his mouth, his face flushed, and kept patting his chest. He didn't know if he was scared, choked, or excited.
"Are you trying to kill me for my money?" Chen Mo was almost choked to death by Zhao Min's sudden remark.
Seeing his reaction, Zhao Min laughed, feeling very cheerful.
The two discussed some company development matters. After confirming some of Chen Mo's ideas, Zhao Min left the restaurant to start preparing for the company's office location and recruitment.
"Sir, please pay the bill." Shortly after Zhao Min left, a waiter brought the bill to Chen Mo.
"Uh? Didn't that lady pay?"
"That lady said to have you pay," the waiter smiled politely at Chen Mo. "This is the note she left for you."
"This breakfast is on you, wealthy chairman."
Seeing the note Zhao Min left, Chen Mo's face became gloomy. When he picked up the bill, he became even more depressed.
Over a thousand yuan?
In the past, this money would have been enough for his living expenses for a month.
Luxury was the greatest sin, Chen Mo thought. Even after getting the money from Seven Tiger Company, he hadn't been this extravagant, spending over a thousand on breakfast.
"I don't have enough cash on me, I'll pay with my phone!"
After leaving the restaurant, Chen Mo headed straight for the library. Reading was the real deal.
With his efforts during this period, he was quickly approaching 200 books. After today, he would reach the goal of 200 books. This meant he could freely choose a technology from the library again.
Thinking about getting a technology, Chen Mo felt excited.
Arriving at the library, he hugged a pile of physics books from the shelves and walked towards the self-study area. Xiao Yu had finished class and was sitting in the self-study area. Seeing Chen Mo come over, she smiled slightly.
Chen Mo sat next to Xiao Yu and took out the phone Zhao Min had returned to him. "Xiao Yu, this thing is a bit special, I'm giving it to you."
"Why are you spending money recklessly?" Just as Chen Mo was about to continue, Xiao Yu interrupted him. "Aren't you starting a business? Where did you get the money to buy a phone?"
Chen Mo blinked, staring blankly at Xiao Yu. He couldn't respond to that. "I finished a software program and sold it to a company, I made a little money."
"You made money and bought this for me?" Xiao Yu said, "I have a phone, take it back and use it."
Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Chen Mo smiled.
"Don't laugh, I'm serious. You have money, don't buy these things." Xiao Yu's face flushed slightly, seeing Chen Mo's unserious look.
Chen Mo's smile faded. "This phone is a bit special. It's the first gift I'm giving to my girlfriend, please accept it." Chen Mo took Xiao Yu's hand and solemnly placed the phone in her palm.
Seeing the envious and jealous looks from the self-study area, a faint blush appeared on Xiao Yu's cheeks.
"I'll accept it on behalf of your girlfriend. But your girlfriend said you're not allowed to buy these things in the future." Xiao Yu let Chen Mo hold her hand.
"Whatever you say," Chen Mo smiled.
"Hurry up and read, a lot of people are watching."
After letting go of Xiao Yu, he focused on his books and quickly became engrossed. This time he was reading physics books, which seemed a bit slower than other books.
"How come you're reading computer science one moment, math the next, and now physics?"
"I'm a highly intelligent young man, I can learn anything I set my mind to."
"I've never seen such a shameless person." Xiao Yu chuckled softly.
That night.
After seeing Xiao Yu back to her dorm, Chen Mo couldn't wait to return to his rented room and enter the Science and Technology Library. After reading all day, he had completed his second 100 books today. It was time to get a technology.
"You're here." Old Shu smiled and nodded when he saw Chen Mo. "Reading over 200 books in a month, not bad, you're more diligent than I expected. Now you have two opportunities, one is the free choice you earned from reading, and the other is the monthly choice from your [Apprentice] privilege. Since it's not the first time, the monthly choice is random."
"One free choice, one random choice?" Chen Mo also felt a little emotional, without realizing it,
"Yes," Old Shu nodded. "Which one do you want to use?"
"Let's use the random choice first." Thinking of the technology he got from the random choice last time, Chen Mo became nervous. "Old Shu, it won't be like last time, getting that kind of obscure technology, right?"
"You really want another one?" Old Shu said teasingly, "There's a breast enhancement technology with no side effects, do you want it?"
"No, absolutely not. Let's talk about it again when I enter the medical field."
Chen Mo shook his head like a rattle drum. If another one came, he'd just bash his head against the bookshelves in the Technology Library, even though he couldn't touch them.
"Even if you want it, I can't give it to you. It depends on your luck."
Old Shu lightly tapped his finger, and a light screen descended from above the library. Countless books were arranged on it, at least tens of thousands.
As the books slowly rotated, Chen Mo's heart was also praying.
Last time, he randomly got the technology for "Ultra-Thin Sanitary Pad Production Process," which almost made him vomit blood. If he randomly got another technology he couldn't use, he would be miserable.
The rotating light screen slowly turned into a book and landed in Old Shu's hand.
Star Office Software
Seeing the book's cover, Chen Mo was slightly happy. Although it wasn't a major technology, at least it was something he could use now.
His company was just starting, and this could be the company's first product.
If the smartphone operating system were released rashly, the impact would definitely be significant. The company had nothing now, and he, this little ant, definitely couldn't maintain the operation of such a phone system yet.
Using this office software to start the company was the best option.
Old Shu patted the book in his hand into Chen Mo's head: "You still have one free choice. You can look for any technology you want in the books."
"Not needed for now," Chen Mo said after thinking for a moment.
He wasn't short on money right now. The phone system was already completed, and now he had office software. Making money with office software was definitely not a problem. He would save this opportunity to deal with unexpected situations.
Just like the 'Eternal Heart' sweeping across the globe without warning last time. By saving this opportunity, as long as there was an unexpected situation that required a certain technology to solve, he would have a free choice.
Moreover, the source code for this office software was enough to keep him busy for a while. Don't bite off more than you can chew; take it one step at a time.
After exiting the Technology Library, Chen Mo turned on his computer and began organizing the office software.
Wishing everyone a happy National Day. Be careful with your belongings when going out.
