He Xiaoyu Joins the Company

Xiaoyu sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the variety show playing on her laptop as Chen Mo dried her hair for her. She wore a sweet smile.

"Today's surprise was a big one. When did you start planning it?" Chen Mo asked as he dried Xiaoyu's hair.

"Back when I first said I'd give you a surprise. But you tricked me into coming back then, so I decided to postpone it. That'll teach you not to be so dishonest." Xiaoyu gave a soft huff and wrinkled her nose.

"What if I trick you again in the future?" Chen Mo asked.

"You dare? If you trick me, I'll move out and live with Ruoxi, leaving you to wash your own stinky socks." Xiaoyu laughed.

"That serious? Can we change the punishment?"

"No. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll just keep bullying me." Xiaoyu said.

After drying Xiaoyu's hair, Chen Mo put away the hair dryer, sat back down on the sofa, and pulled Xiaoyu into his arms.

"I have work tomorrow, so tonight..." Xiaoyu nestled against Chen Mo's chest, her gaze tinged with shyness.

"No rush. You'll be mine sooner or later anyway. Just tell me whenever you're mentally ready." Chen Mo said.

"Shameless. Who's yours?" A faint smile hung on Xiaoyu's lips.

"Ever since I pinned you down at the library, you were destined never to escape my grasp."

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Xiaoyu had already prepared breakfast. After eating, Chen Mo went to the shop while Xiaoyu headed to the company.

"Xiaoyu, your luck is so good that I'm a little jealous." Li Ruoxi walked into the company shoulder to shoulder with Xiaoyu. "You just reported in and the president already took a liking to you, making you the President Assistant right away. That's a position countless people dream of."

"I don't know why either." Xiaoyu said. "I'm a little worried now, since I don't have any experience in this area."

"Work hard. Everything starts out unfamiliar before becoming familiar. Once you make it big, just remember this best friend who once shared a bed with you." Li Ruoxi said with a smile. "We'll part ways here. Good luck at work."

"Okay."

Xiaoyu looked around before heading toward Zhao Min's office. The moment she entered, she became nervous. It was her first day at work, after all, and she had heard that President Zhao had a very forceful personality.

"President Zhao."

Zhao Min looked Xiaoyu over carefully.

Xiaoyu was quite delicate-looking. Though she did not possess breathtaking beauty, her temperament—gentle yet wild—was exceptionally distinctive and refreshing.

"Have a seat." Zhao Min smiled faintly at her. "Your name is He Xiaoyu, right?"

"Yes. Yu as in fisherwoman." Xiaoyu nodded.

"That's a nice name. I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on. You don't need to call me President Zhao either—it makes me sound old. You can call me Sister Zhao or Sister Min."

Xiaoyu froze for a moment, unable to react. She blinked at Zhao Min. Anyone could tell that Zhao Min seemed to treat her a little differently.

"Sister Zhao." Though she was full of doubts, Xiaoyu still called her that.

"Mm. Minister Li told you everything you need to do yesterday, right? It's your first day, so ask if there's anything you don't understand. Also, this contains information about the company. Read through it carefully, and if there's anything you don't understand, ask me directly."

Seeing that Zhao Min was not as stern as she had imagined, Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the general manager had been an unapproachable career woman, life would have been difficult from now on. Now that she had met Zhao Min, the weight in her heart finally lifted.

"Okay, Sister Zhao." Xiaoyu took the folder Zhao Min handed her and left the office.

Chen Mo sat in the shop with headphones on, directing Mo Nv as she drafted mobile phone casing designs. Four computers were working simultaneously, and he practically wished he had four mouths.

"Mo Nv, change the third colored stripe in the eye swirl on the image to a blue gradient. The pupil in the middle is where the camera goes. Change the surrounding lines to black..."

Mo Nv was fast, but he could barely keep up with directing her. Moreover, the colored patterns they produced differed somewhat from what he had seen in the Sci-Tech Library.

As he recalled the patterns on Butterfly Eye's exterior and described them, he relied on his powerful memory to produce a preliminary version of the design.

Even the slightest flaw in Butterfly Eye's colored patterns would completely ruin its aesthetic appeal. So after the initial design was complete, he still had to personally revise many parts.

Two hours later, Chen Mo finally slumped into his chair.

To him now, designing a phone's exterior was even harder than designing its motherboard.

With Mo Nv's help, he only needed to name the components and explain how the circuits connected when designing a phone motherboard, and Mo Nv could complete it immediately. But Butterfly Eye's exterior design—its colors and lines—was not as simple as connecting components on a circuit board.

In two hours, he had completed four exterior designs. He had completely copied Butterfly Eye's patterned appearance from the Sci-Tech Library, and with Mo Nv's assistance, that speed was not slow.

"Mo Nv, send the phone exterior and motherboard design materials to the company's president, Zhao Min." Chen Mo said.

"Okay, Brother Mo. The email has been sent successfully." The moment Chen Mo finished speaking, Mo Nv's childish voice rang out.

Before long, Chen Mo's phone rang.

"Answer it." Chen Mo said.

"The call has been connected." Mo Nv said.

"Chairman, I've received the email. I really want to crack open your head and see what it's made of. With such incredible artistic talent, it would be a shame if you didn't become an artist." Zhao Min's voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"I don't know anything about art. Don't make such a fuss. These are only four designs—I still have several more in my head. I'll design them and send them to you when I have time, so we can save ourselves trouble later."

"Okay." Zhao Min said.

"How is Xiaoyu doing?"

"Just started at the company and got familiar with things, and you were already worried after such a short while? Why don't you come over to the company?" Zhao Min teased.

"I'll go over after the lab is finished," Chen Mo said.

"Then won't she find out who you are anyway? Aren't you afraid she'll cut you up once she knows?" Zhao Min said with a laugh.

"When the boat reaches the bridge, it'll straighten itself out. It's not like I can hide it forever," Chen Mo said.

After hanging up, Chen Mo turned his attention back to the computer.

"Mo Nv, integrate the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant into the Army Ant System."

The most important feature of this phone launch was the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant.

At present, no phone on the market had truly achieved complete hands-free control. Once the Butterfly Eye equipped with the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant hit the market, it would cause another sensation.

"Okay, Mo Nv acknowledges."

As soon as Mo Nv's childish voice faded, the decoder on the computer opened. Dense lines of code streamed across it like flowing water.

"Brother Mo, Mo Nv has completed the integration."

"Change my phone's system to the Army Ant System equipped with the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant," Chen Mo said.

"Please wait a moment, Brother Mo."

Mo Nv fell silent. Before long, the phone rebooted automatically. When it powered back on, an additional Smart Assistant option had appeared in the settings menu.

"Mo Nv, I'm going to test the Smart Assistant now. Don't control my phone for the time being," Chen Mo said as he opened the Smart Assistant.

"Okay."

"Open the browser."

Mo Nv's voice went quiet. After the voiceprint recognition was completed, Chen Mo gave the command.

Five minutes later, after finishing the preliminary tests, Chen Mo finally let out a breath and sent the Mobile Phone Smart Assistant's source code, documentation, and the Army Ant System with the integrated assistant to Zhao Min.
