Chen Mo's life returned to peace, but the Ant Army Company was in a flurry of activity.

After getting the office software, Zhao Min immediately issued orders to develop a promotion plan for the software as quickly as possible.

The company's 50 million funds were stretched thin with the impending entry into the mobile phone industry. They had to use the office software to make money now.

As Zhao Min issued one command after another, the newly formed small Ant Army nest began to operate rapidly.

Julie walked into Zhao Min's office with a planning document.

When the company was founded, Zhao Min had called her over to help. Knowing her well, Zhao Min trusted her completely and put her in charge of market system management.

The office software was the first product they would promote after joining the company, so everyone was fully focused and dared not be negligent.

After receiving Zhao Min's order, the marketing department immediately began advertising planning, finalizing the plan as quickly as possible. Today, the advertisement was finally released.

"How are the numbers?" Zhao Min asked.

"According to the backend data, as of the time I came to report, the free version of the software has exceeded 10,000 downloads, and there are over 300 registered paid users."

"Hmm, a good start," Zhao Min nodded.

The Ant Army Company was just founded and was a complete small ant with no reputation whatsoever.

For the newly launched office software to exceed 10,000 users in such a short time was already a remarkable achievement.

This office software was all Chen Mo's masterpiece. Four versions were launched: Home Edition, Small Business Edition, Professional Edition, and Free Edition.

The Free Edition could only use the most basic Word documents, Excel, and PPT presentations, as well as a unique image processing function.

The software price was less than half of Office.

Their purpose in launching the office software was threefold: first, to increase the company's visibility; second, to enter the market with low prices and build a good reputation with users; and third, naturally, to make money.

The main market for office software was in the offices of various companies. As long as they could capture this lucrative market of corporate office use, Ant Office would bring them continuous income.

Ant Office's functions were better than Office and WPS, and it also had image processing capabilities, combining office and photo editing functions in one. Its functions were unique and powerful, and it didn't take up much memory.

Zhao Min believed that it wouldn't be long before a steady stream of users came in.

"Release the mobile version as well and have people promote it to major companies."

"Okay, President Zhao."

Julie agreed and left the office.

After Julie left, Zhao Min picked up her phone and dialed Chen Mo's number. This chairman was always elusive, making her quite helpless. She could only contact him by phone every time.

"Chairman, the office software has been promoted. The market response is good, and it's off to a good start."

"That's good." In the shop, Chen Mo stopped the circuit design he was working on.

"Do you want to come to the company?" Zhao Min asked.

"Maybe next time, I'm afraid I don't have time today. I'll send you the design materials for the phone's appearance and interface later. You can have someone make a sample and apply for a patent."

"That fast?" Zhao Min's tone was full of surprise. "Alright then, you go ahead and be busy. Regarding the mobile phone component suppliers, I've already contacted them. I still have some connections from my previous job, so everything is going smoothly. You don't need to worry."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo checked the time, saved the motherboard circuit design file, and locked the shop door.

"Young man? Closing so early? Not doing business anymore?" As Chen Mo walked out, the aunt from the grocery store next door asked.

"Going out to play for a bit," Chen Mo smiled.

Today was Xiao Yu's accountant exam, and he also took the opportunity to rest.

The accountant exam was held at the Accounting Practitioner Examination Service Center, not far from Binhai University. It took fifteen minutes by bicycle.

As soon as he arrived nearby, Chen Mo saw people coming out of the entrance one after another. Before long, Xiao Yu appeared in the crowd and ran towards him. From her appearance, she seemed to be in a good mood.

He gave Xiao Yu a ride and left directly, under the envious eyes of the people around them.

After eating a buffet, the two went to the aquarium, and then went shopping and watched a movie.

This was their most unrestrained day. Both of them knew that such opportunities were rare, so they let go of their worries and played to their heart's content. They went to all the places couples should go.

That night, the two leaned against each other by the seawall, quietly watching the sea that had fallen into darkness.

At this moment, Chen Mo's face was unusually relaxed. During this time, he had been reading and researching every day, pushing himself too hard. Being with Xiao Yu completely dispelled the tension in his mind.

Looking at Xiao Yu's smile, Chen Mo felt a sense of satisfaction. Recalling how he met and fell in love with Xiao Yu, it all felt like a dream.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyebrows twitched as he remembered something. Letting Xiao Yu lean against him, he secretly took out his phone and glanced at it, his expression becoming strange.

"I wish it could always be like this."

"Yes, I think so too," Chen Mo chuckled softly.

"Is that you?"

A voice appeared, interrupting the two. As Chen Mo and Xiao Yu turned their heads, they saw Liang Zhihang holding a camera, looking at them with a surprised expression.

"It's you."

"Yes, it's me."

Liang Zhihang quickly shook hands with Chen Mo.

"What a coincidence. The photos your group submitted last time have been shortlisted. This is the first time I've been shortlisted for a national photography competition. I had that photo developed, and it's the best work I've done in years. I happened to have it with me, so I'll give you a copy."

Liang Zhihang took out a photo album from his backpack, pulled out a photo from it, and handed it to the two of them.

"Thank you," Chen Mo said, taking the photo from Liang Zhihang and nodding in thanks.

"You're welcome, I should be thanking you. It was just a chance encounter, I didn't mean to disturb you. Let's keep in touch later, goodbye."

With that, Liang Zhihang smiled, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

"Put it in your bag. This photo should be treasured." Chen Mo handed the photo to Xiao Yu.

Seeing the moment they kissed captured in the photo, Xiao Yu's cheeks flushed slightly. Although her phone wallpaper was also a photo like this, thinking back to how she felt at the time still made her a little shy.

Just as Xiao Yu finished putting the photo away, she felt something was off. As soon as she looked up, she saw Chen Mo staring at her with a mischievous smile.

Mmmph...

After a slight struggle, Xiao Yu resigned herself and went limp in Chen Mo's arms.

A minute later, Chen Mo finally let go.

"Satisfied? You just know how to bully me."

Xiao Yu panted, shyly burying her face in Chen Mo's chest. When they were kissing just now, someone had walked by, and thinking about it now made her want to die of embarrassment.

This scene felt familiar?

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Yu blinked at Chen Mo, realizing what was happening. She quickly took out her phone from her bag.

Seeing the time displayed on her phone, Xiao Yu's face fell. Just like last time, there were only five minutes until the dorm closed, and it was too late to rush back.

Chen Mo laughed heartily, took Xiao Yu's hand, and walked back towards the night market.

"Where are we going?"

"To buy clothes."

"Why buy clothes?"

"You can't go back, and you haven't showered yet. We'll buy clothes for you to change into."

"So you deliberately didn't tell me the time."

The two voices gradually faded into the distance.

Please recommend, please collect, I wish everyone a happy National Day holiday.
