Continuous output? Can it be considered work-related injury! (Seeking follow-up)

As dusk began to settle, Peng Xun thought it over and decided to prioritize completing the task of helping Luo Yao's family move.

The longer they delayed, the less safe Luo Yao's family would be.

It was best to act before any major events unfolded.

Peng Xun went to find Luo Yao, who was in the EDA department. Luo Yao was holding a computer with EDA software, explaining algorithms to the EDA department staff.

"Luo Yao, do you have time now?"

"Yes, I'm tired of explaining the technology to them. I don't know why they still don't understand after I've explained it three times," Luo Yao said, looking a bit dejected.

He couldn't understand why others didn't grasp something so simple.

It was one thing if they didn't understand the architecture, but why didn't they understand the algorithms?

"Except for President Meng, everyone else seems rather unintelligent. I don't know how Huaji recruits people."

Peng Xun felt a surge of blood rush to his throat, almost spitting it out.

He was the one who had sent people to recruit the staff for the EDA R&D department, and he had even reviewed the list.

How did they end up being "rather unintelligent" in Luo Yao's eyes?

"Luo Yao, they are actually very capable. What you explained today might be unfamiliar to them, so their reaction was a bit slow," Peng Xun said, kindly reminding Luo Yao. He believed this way of thinking was dangerous for someone who would eventually be in management.

Luo Yao looked at him and said strangely, "The underlying logic is all the same. Haven't they studied analog circuit design and Verilog code?"

Peng Xun felt like he couldn't swallow that surge of blood.

He had initially thought the people from the "Genius Program" were difficult to deal with, but he hadn't expected Luo Yao to completely blow him away.

He didn't know if Luo Yao had the highest IQ, but he was fairly certain that in terms of emotional intelligence, Luo Yao might just have the lowest.

Peng Xun, in charge of human resources, prided himself on having seen all sorts of people. However, Luo Yao truly opened his eyes, making him realize that such a peculiar species existed in the world.

No matter how peculiar, Peng Xun had to maintain his professional demeanor.

Although he was Luo Yao's superior now, Luo Yao held a special status as a lifeline for Huaji and the entire chip industry.

For such a genius, even if the other party called him stupid, he had to endure it.

"Luo Yao, it's alright. When you join our company, we will set up a dedicated laboratory for you, and you can choose the talents you prefer then."

Although Luo Yao had anticipated generous resources, he hadn't expected Huaji to finalize their plans so quickly.

It seemed Huaji's efficiency was indeed high.

Luo Yao was starting to like Huaji a little.

"If that's the case, then it's indeed good."

Peng Xun waved his hand and smiled, "There's more. The company has rewarded you with a villa, and you can move your family in right away."

A villa?

Move in now?

Luo Yao thought about it and quickly realized that this was Huaji's way of protecting his family in an unconventional manner.

This was good, at least he could move his parents out of the East University of Technology staff dormitory.

"If we move into the villa, can my sister and I still attend classes?"

Luo Yao's question jumped directly to whether he and his sister could attend classes. It was clear he understood that once they moved into the villa, for their safety, they wouldn't be allowed to move freely.

"You and your sister can study through online classes. You don't need to worry about that."

"If you don't find online classes suitable, we can arrange for a professor to come to your home."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao spoke up, "Alright, can Professor Xia Qing come to teach me?"

Peng Xun felt as if several strands of his hair had turned white.

Professor Xia Qing was a nationally recognized young talent, and there were very few like her in the entire East City. Having her give private lessons at Luo Yao's home was outrageously absurd.

If anyone else had made such a request, Peng Xun would have considered it wishful thinking. But since Luo Yao had made the request, Peng Xun could only brace himself and agree.

"Alright, so we need to move now, right?" Luo Yao thought that since Huaji knew about the EDA software, they must have already taken action, and societal reactions would follow soon.

It was almost dark now, and Peng Xun coming to find him was likely about this matter.

"Indeed. We need to help you move as soon as possible. The subsequent situation is quite complex and may involve your family."

Luo Yao raised his expressionless eyes and asked, "Are you afraid someone might try to threaten me using my family?"

Although Peng Xun knew he couldn't measure Luo Yao with the mindset of a normal child, he hadn't expected him to react so quickly.

He didn't hide anything then, admitting what Luo Yao had said.

"Then let's move. Are you responsible for the moving arrangements?"

Under normal circumstances, this matter wouldn't be Peng Xun's responsibility, but the big boss was personally overseeing it, so he couldn't delegate it to anyone else.

"It is indeed me. I'll have to trouble you, Luo Yao, to come with me and explain things to your family."

Luo Yao found it troublesome, but rather than staying there with a bunch of idiots, he'd rather go see his family.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Before getting into the car, Peng Xun made a few calls, asking people to wait at East University of Technology.

Then, Peng Xun took Luo Yao into his Peugeot 308S.

Luo Yao asked him curiously, "Is your salary not very high?"

Peng Xun chuckled, "Do you think my car is bad?"

"Well, I feel like many people in our small town drive this car. I didn't expect you to drive one too. From your every move just now, you should be a high-level executive."

Peng Xun retorted, "How did you determine I'm an executive?"

Luo Yao didn't know why the other party was asking such a simple question, but considering he was going to help him move, Luo Yao still answered, "Because when you appeared in the EDA department, everyone else, including President Meng, stopped talking and looked at you."

"If your position was lower than or equal to President Meng's, President Meng would definitely ask you what's going on. But he didn't. When you took me away, President Meng didn't object either; instead, he seemed to understand."

"Therefore, your position is at least higher than President Meng's, and President Meng knows why you're looking for me."

"In other words, you guys had it all arranged, and you're responsible for my family's affairs."

What kind of prodigy is this?

Peng Xun considered his observation skills to be top-notch, but at the same age of 16, he knew he couldn't be this meticulous.

Yet, Luo Yao had judged his position to be higher than Meng Xiangping's in just a few seconds.

This kid is truly incredible!

"You actually guessed it right."

"It wasn't a guess, it was a judgment." Luo Yao disliked anything uncertain.

"It was my slip of the tongue. I'm driving this car today because I don't want to attract attention."

"It's best to be as low-key as possible when interacting with you guys now."

"Are people from Huaji usually this low-key?"

"Sort of. The nail that sticks out gets hammered. Since being high-profile isn't a good thing, being low-key can't be wrong."

Luo Yao asked strangely, "Now that you have the complete EDA software, why would you be low-key?"

"Low-key? Isn't it to conceal your weakness?"

Peng Xun was dejected.

He was starting to regret taking on the task of arranging Luo Yao's family.

Being alone in the same space with Luo Yao was unbearable!

Could the continuous output directed at him be considered an occupational injury?

If Luo Yao is already this formidable, he's now a bit apprehensive about going to Luo Yao's home.

What if his parents are also like this? His occupational injury today would have to be doubled!

Time had already passed 7 PM. Students in University Town had gone to evening self-study. Luo Yao's family restaurant had no customers. Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan were sitting at the dining table, lost in thought, when they saw Luo Yao walk in with a distinguished-looking person.

"You must be Luo Yao's teacher? Please sit!" Sun Xiulan immediately gestured for Peng Xun to sit down upon seeing him.

"No, Auntie, we are from Huaji company. Luo Yao is currently helping us develop a piece of software. As a reward, we are giving Luo Yao a house, and we're here to take you to live in it now."

Peng Xun couldn't explain the details now; he had to get the Luo family settled first.

"What kind of company is Huaji?" Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan usually didn't pay attention to news about technology companies, so they didn't know Huaji.

"Are you trying to scam my son?" Sun Xiulan suddenly thought of the many scammers in big cities, and this scammer might be trying to deceive Luo Yao.

"Yeah, what kind of software can earn you a house? I've never heard of that." Luo Xingguo, despite his leg disability, quickly walked to Luo Yao's side and pulled him away from Peng Xun.

Luo Yao, who was being held, looked at his anxious father and said, "Dad, it's true."

Luo Xingguo was stunned and looked at his son, "You're saying what he said is true?"

"Yes, his teacher went to their company with me. They wouldn't dare to lie to me."

If they wanted to deceive him, he could completely refuse to hand over the EDA software.

This was definitely not something Huaji would want to see.

Before handing over the software, they had already offered a house, clearly intending to keep him stable.

Luo Yao's words made Sun Xiulan realize, "You're saying my Luo Yao helped you make software, and it's true?"

Peng Xun nodded, "Yes, Auntie, we wouldn't lie to you about this. Luo Yao is much smarter than ordinary children; you must know this."

"His teacher brought him to us yesterday, and after evaluation by our professional team, the software Luo Yao developed is indeed beneficial to our company."

While that was said, this matter had indeed exceeded the imagination of Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan.

The honest and upright couple couldn't even imagine software being exchanged for a house.

As the situation remained deadlocked, Peng Xun knew it would be difficult to resolve this without revealing classified information, so he simply made a call to get backup.

A moment later, Luo Yao's phone suddenly rang.

After Luo Yao answered, the caller introduced himself as a cadre from the capital. He first praised Luo Yao and then explained the confidentiality details and relevant regulations to Luo Yao.

Finally, he asked Luo Yao's parents to take the phone.

The highest-ranking official Sun Xiulan had ever seen was the deputy town mayor once when he came to inspect the situation; she had only seen the back of his figure from afar.

She had never imagined a cadre from the capital would call her.
