Mobile Phone Smart Assistant

Chen Mo hurried all the way back to his rented apartment. Looking at the empty doorway, he felt utterly frustrated.

Hadn't she said half an hour? He had only taken twenty minutes to get back. Why was there nothing there? Had someone taken it?

Feeling annoyed, Chen Mo called Xiao Yu.

No answer?

Even more puzzled, Chen Mo opened the door with a gloomy expression. The moment he stepped inside, he stopped short and stared ahead in disbelief.

Xiao Yu sat quietly on the sofa, smiling. A suitcase stood beside her.

Her dark blue-black hair was tied up, with two long strands of bangs hanging in front of her forehead. She wore a fitted turtleneck sweater and jeans, looking fresh and elegant.

"Your surprise has arrived. Please sign for it," Xiao Yu said as she rose from the sofa, her smile sweet.

"Alright, I'll sign for it." Chen Mo smiled, walked over, pulled Xiao Yu into his arms, and kissed her.

"Mm... mm!"

A minute later, Xiao Yu had buried her face in Chen Mo's chest, breathing lightly, her cheeks flushed a shy red.

"You started bullying me the moment you got here."

"I was signing for it." Chen Mo grinned. "Are you moving in here from now on?"

"Am I not welcome?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Of course you're welcome. How could you not be?" Chen Mo answered without hesitation. He had tried all sorts of ways to get Xiao Yu to move out and live with him before, but none had worked. This was an enormous surprise.

"This place is too small. I'll find us a bigger apartment later, and we'll move there."

"No need. I think this place feels very cozy."

"How could that do? I can't let you suffer."

"I said there's no need, so there's no need. You have to listen to me." Xiao Yu kissed Chen Mo on the cheek.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Whenever you want a change of scenery, just tell me. We can go anywhere you want." Chen Mo held Xiao Yu close.

"Alright, stop being so mushy." Xiao Yu broke free from Chen Mo's embrace, her cheeks rosy. "I made plans with Ruo Xi today to report to our internship company. I need to go meet her now."

"Alright. Be careful."

After Xiao Yu left, Chen Mo pulled out several physics textbooks and began reading.

During the time he had been researching computer languages, apart from finishing the four-hundredth book and obtaining the second book on creating computer languages, Chen Mo had only read occasionally while researching Artificial Intelligence.

Of the thousand-book task assigned by the Sci-Tech Library, he had only read a little over 490 books. He was still a few books short of 500. Completing this task was necessary if he wanted to raise his access level in the Sci-Tech Library.

Since he had time now, he decided to finish the five-hundredth book today. Once he entered the zone, Chen Mo became completely absorbed.

Three hours later, Chen Mo set aside his sixth book, a relaxed expression appearing on his face. Having read so many physics books, he had figured out much of the knowledge, so he learned very quickly.

He had completed 500 books. Next, it was time to claim some technology. Chen Mo lay on the bed and entered the Sci-Tech Library.

"Old Shu, I'm here to claim technology."

"Mhm. The five-hundredth book—you're already past halfway." Old Shu nodded. "You now have one chance to choose for yourself. What do you want?"

"Bring up every model of the Butterfly Eye Phone," Chen Mo said.

Butterfly Eye had been on the market for a while now and could be said to have entered the game. It was necessary to launch a second phone next and gain a firm foothold in the market.

Because there had not been any major breakthroughs in phone technology, the current phone market was all about making minor changes to operating systems, chips, or screens and repackaging the same old thing to make money.

However, Butterfly Eye's exterior design was too distinctive, so Zhao Min did not dare rashly launch a second phone. If they carelessly released another model with a worse appearance and no major technological breakthrough, the reputation they had just built could collapse in an instant.

That was why Zhao Min had brought up the matter of a second phone with Chen Mo. After all, he had designed the first phone, and no one else could really take over the design work.

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Old Shu waved a hand, and over a hundred books appeared before Chen Mo.

"The trainee-level Butterfly Eye series phones are all here," Old Shu said.

Every product inherited the exquisite design style of the Butterfly Eye series. Chen Mo immediately focused on the books' introductions.

"Butterfly Eye Smart Phone"; Product introduction: Equipped with the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant, Xiao Die. Supports touch-free voice control and conversation.

"Butterfly Eye Gemini Butterfly Phone"; Product introduction: Dual processors, capable of running two operating systems.

"Butterfly Eye Full Memory Concept Phone"...

Chen Mo browsed through all the phone introductions, but this time, he kept something in mind. He memorized the appearances and patterns of several of the most beautifully designed Butterfly Eye Phones shown on the book covers.

Applying for design patents for those appearances would take a long time. He might as well design all the appearances at once and apply for the patents together. That way, he would not have to go through the trouble of designing and applying for them again later.

After memorizing the exterior designs, Chen Mo turned his attention to the "Butterfly Eye Smart Phone" directly in front of him: a Mobile Phone Smart Assistant and touch-free voice operation.

That was a major selling point. After all, there was not yet a single phone on the market that truly supported touch-free voice control.

"Old Shu, does this book contain Xiao Die's source code?" Chen Mo asked.

"It does. This is the phone's greatest feature. Just like the waterproof interface, this also includes the source code for the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant."

"This is the one," Chen Mo said immediately.

Old Shu nodded, grabbed the book, and pressed it into Chen Mo's head. After obtaining the Butterfly Eye Phone design and the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant's source code, Chen Mo chatted briefly with Old Shu before leaving the Sci-Tech Library.

Just as he stepped out of his room to organize the Butterfly Eye design materials, the door to the apartment opened, and Xiao Yu walked in carrying several large bags.

Chen Mo casually took the bags from Xiao Yu's hands. "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

"Some daily necessities for me, and some groceries to cook with. These are clothes I bought for you. All your clothes are old, and you only wear the same few outfits over and over, so I bought you two new sets."

"With a girlfriend like you, I've really hit the jackpot." Chen Mo smiled knowingly.

"You only just realized that?" Xiao Yu wrinkled her nose at him. "Let me tell you some good news. I reported to my internship company today, and I start work tomorrow."

"What will you be doing?" Chen Mo asked.

"I'll be the general manager's assistant."

"The general manager's assistant? You just started your internship, and you already got a position like that. Could there be something shady going on? You should just quit. I'll introduce you to a job as my assistant. Food and housing included, and you can name your own salary." Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of jealousy.

"Are you jealous?" Xiao Yu stared at Chen Mo with a smile.

"No."

"So you want me to be your maid? No way. I wouldn't even get paid working for you. I can't start spending your money right away. I need to have my own job. Otherwise, what would I do in the future?" Xiao Yu said.

"I just think it's strange that an intern would suddenly become the general manager's assistant."

"The boss is a woman, so she won't have any improper intentions toward me. Feel better now? Her former assistant changed jobs, and she hasn't found anyone suitable yet. I got lucky. I was originally going to work as an accountant in the Finance Department, but the general manager saw me and said I looked familiar. Since she happened to need an assistant, she asked me to fill in temporarily."

"Is that so? Why would the general manager find you familiar? Have you met before?" Chen Mo asked doubtfully.

"No, I've never met her." Xiao Yu shook her head.

"What's the company called?" Chen Mo continued asking.

"Ant Army Company."

Feel free to save this if you like it. Recommendation lists are on the way.
