Office Software

The two looked at each other with strange expressions, neither speaking. Chen Mo's mind raced. What did he owe Zhao Min? But aside from dinner last night, he did not seem to have had any other dealings with her.

After a few seconds, Zhao Min finally laughed. "You haven't given me the employment contract for the company's general manager."

Chen Mo laughed as well. "I'll give it to you now."

After drafting and printing the contract and signing their names, Zhao Min handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo then handed the company documents to Zhao Min. "I'll transfer the money into the company account later. I'll leave everything else to you."

"Fine. You can just be a hands-off boss."

Zhao Min drained the coffee in her cup, took out the newly bought phone from her bag, and handed it to Chen Mo. "Help me install a system on it."

Chen Mo took the phone and casually pulled a laptop from his backpack. Ten minutes later, after the computer screen showed that the installation had succeeded, he unplugged the phone and returned it to Zhao Min.

"Done."

"So fast?" Zhao Min took the phone, blinking as she studied Chen Mo. "I have a cousin who says she wants to marry you." The words slipped out of her mouth for no apparent reason.

"Cough... cough, cough, cough..."

Chen Mo spat out the juice in his mouth, his face flushing red as he repeatedly patted his chest. He did not know whether he had been frightened, choked, or excited.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Zhao Min's sudden remark had nearly choked him to death.

Seeing him like that, Zhao Min laughed, feeling thoroughly delighted.

The two discussed a few more matters regarding the company's development. After confirming some of Chen Mo's ideas, Zhao Min left the restaurant to begin arranging the company's office location and recruitment.

"Sir, please pay the bill." Not long after Zhao Min left, a waiter placed the bill in front of Chen Mo.

"Huh? Didn't that lady pay?"

"That lady said you would pay." The waiter gave Chen Mo a polite smile. "She also left this note for you."

"You're treating me to breakfast, you rich chairman."

After reading the note Zhao Min had left behind, Chen Mo's expression turned gloomy. When he picked up the bill, he became even more depressed.

More than a thousand yuan?

Before this, that amount would have covered his living expenses for an entire month.

Luxury was the greatest original sin. Even after getting Seven Tiger Company's money, Chen Mo had never been so extravagant. More than a thousand yuan for breakfast.

"I don't have enough cash on me. I'll pay by phone!"

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Mo headed straight for the library. Studying was what truly mattered.

His efforts during this period had brought him close to two hundred books. After today, he would complete his goal of two hundred books. That meant he could freely choose another technology from the library.

Just thinking about obtaining another technology made Chen Mo excited.

When he arrived at the library, he gathered a stack of physics books from the shelves and headed for the study area. Xiao Yu had already finished class and was sitting there. When she saw Chen Mo approach, she smiled faintly.

Chen Mo sat beside Xiao Yu and took out the phone Zhao Min had returned to him. "Xiao Yu, this is a little special. It's for you."

"Why are you wasting money?" Before Chen Mo could continue, Xiao Yu interrupted him. "Aren't you starting a business? Where did you get the money to buy a phone?"

Chen Mo blinked and stared blankly at Xiao Yu. There was no way to continue that conversation. "I finished a software program and sold it to a company. I made a little money."

"You bought this for me as soon as you made money?" Xiao Yu said, "I already have a phone. Take it back and use it yourself."

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Chen Mo laughed.

"Don't laugh. I'm serious. If you have money, don't spend it on things like this." Seeing Chen Mo's unserious expression, Xiao Yu looked slightly annoyed.

Chen Mo's smile faded. "This phone is a little special. It's the first gift I'm giving my girlfriend. Take it." Chen Mo took Xiao Yu's hand and solemnly placed the phone in her palm.

Noticing the envious and jealous looks from the study area, a faint blush rose to Xiao Yu's cheeks.

"I'll accept it on behalf of your girlfriend. But your girlfriend says you're not allowed to buy things like this in the future." Xiao Yu let Chen Mo hold her hand.

"Whatever you say." Chen Mo smiled.

"Hurry up and study. So many people are watching."

After letting go of Xiao Yu's hand, he turned his attention to his books and quickly immersed himself in them. This time, he was reading physics books, which were a little slower going than the others.

"Why do you read computer science for a while, then mathematics, and now physics?"

"I'm a genius. I can learn anything."

"I've never seen anyone so shameless." Xiao Yu chuckled softly.

That night.

After seeing Xiao Yu back to her dormitory, Chen Mo eagerly returned to his rented apartment and entered the Sci-Tech Library. After reading all day, he had completed his second set of one hundred books. It was time to claim a technology.

"You're here." Old Shu smiled and nodded when he saw Chen Mo. "More than two hundred books in a month. Not bad. You worked harder than I expected. You now have two chances: one free choice earned from reading, and one monthly choice under your trainee privileges. Since this isn't your first time, the monthly choice will be random."

"One free choice and one random choice?" Chen Mo felt a little emotional. Before he knew it...

"That's right." Old Shu nodded. "Which one do you want to use?"

"I'll use the random choice first." Thinking of the technology he had gotten from the last random selection, Chen Mo grew nervous. "Old Shu, I won't get another obscure technology like last time, will I?"

"You want another one?" Old Shu teased. "There's a breast-enhancement technology with no side effects. Want it?"

"No, absolutely not. Let's wait until I enter the medical field."

Chen Mo shook his head like a rattle drum. If he got another one, he might as well smash his head against the bookshelves in the Sci-Tech Library, even though he could not touch them.

"Even if you wanted it, I couldn't give it to you. Let's see what luck brings."

Old Shu lightly tapped a finger, and a curtain of light descended from above the library. Countless books appeared on it, at least ten thousand of them.

The books slowly began to spin, and Chen Mo silently prayed.

The last random selection had given him the Ultra-Thin Sanitary Napkin Production Technology, which had nearly made him cough up blood. If he randomly got another technology he could not use, he would be doomed.

The spinning light curtain slowly condensed into a book and fell into Old Shu's hand.

"Star Office Software."

Seeing the book's cover, Chen Mo felt a faint surge of delight. It was not some major technology, but at least it was something he could use right now.

The company was just starting out, so this could serve as its first product.

If he rashly released the smartphone operating system, the impact would definitely be huge. His company had nothing yet. As a tiny ant, he definitely could not sustain the operation of such a mobile operating system.

Using this office software to launch the company could not have been better.

Old Shu pressed the book in his hand into Chen Mo's head. "You still have one free choice. If there's a technology you want, you can look for it in the books."

"Not for now." Chen Mo thought for a moment before speaking.

He was not short on money at the moment. The phone system was already complete, and now he also had office software. There was absolutely no problem making money from office software. He would save this opportunity for emergencies.

Just like when the Eternal Heart had swept across the world without any warning. If he kept one opportunity in reserve, then whenever something unexpected happened and he needed a technology to solve it, he would have a chance to choose freely.

Besides, the source code for this office software was enough to keep him busy for quite some time. Trying to swallow too much at once would only lead to indigestion. He would take things step by step.

After leaving the Sci-Tech Library, Chen Mo opened his computer and began organizing the office software.

Happy National Day, everyone. Please keep your belongings safe when you go out.
