This Kid Has a Huge Appetite! (Seeking Follow-ups)

Sun Xiulan and Luo Xingguo, after finishing the phone calls with surprise, looked at Luo Yao and said with some worry, "Yao'er, they said the work you're doing is classified. Is something wrong?"

"Aren't you studying at school? How did you get involved in some work?"

Before Luo Yao could answer, another call came in.

This time it was from someone at the East Capital Investment Committee.

Like the previous caller, the person praised Luo Yao and then instructed him to follow the people from Huaji, saying it was the safest option.

After reciting the secrecy regulations again, they asked Luo Yao's parents to take the phone.

"How many of these calls are there going to be?" Luo Yao asked Peng Xun while his parents were on the phone.

This is bad, the genius is getting impatient.

Sensing the situation, Peng Xun immediately said, "There will probably be a few more people calling you, including the Banking Regulatory Commission."

"Banking Regulatory Commission?"

"The company has already transferred a large sum of money to you. This money is currently under the supervision of the Banking Regulatory Commission and hasn't arrived yet, but someone is handling it. The Banking Regulatory Commission will call you to inform you of some risks."

There's even a reward.

Luo Yao had expected payment only after he handed over the software completely. He hadn't anticipated receiving it now.

Luo Yao could memorize the risks and secrecy regulations after hearing them once.

So, during the next dozens of calls, he didn't pay attention to what anyone was saying.

He handed the phone to his parents for calls that required them to speak.

After he had taken about twenty calls, Peng Xun said from the side that it should be finished.

As expected, after a few minutes, no more calls came for Luo Yao.

"Auntie and Uncle, you should believe us now, right?"

"The software Luo Yao created is beneficial to our enterprise and even the nation, which is why we are taking you away to prevent people with ulterior motives from contacting you."

Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan didn't know the full extent of what was involved, but the twenty-odd calls they had just received had stunned them.

Having never experienced such a situation before, the two no longer dared to question Peng Xun.

"If we leave, what about Luo Zhu?" Sun Xiulan immediately remembered Luo Zhu, who was still at school.

"We've already sent someone to pick her up. You can call her and tell her to go with our people."

Peng Xun, worried that Luo Yao's parents might say more, asked Luo Yao to make the call.

Luo Yao's call was brief and to the point: "Sis, someone will pick you up shortly. Go with them, don't ask why."

Without waiting for Luo Zhu's reply, he hung up the phone.

They then followed Peng Xun to the Green Boat Park, which was a residential area specially built by Huaji for its employees.

"These buildings are so beautiful!" Sun Xiulan exclaimed as she looked at the houses in the park.

She had lived in the countryside her entire life, farming in her early years, and only moved to a small town after Luo Yao was born.

After coming to East Capital, she and her husband hadn't gone out to see anything. The Green Boat Park at this moment was undoubtedly another world for their family.

"We're here."

"This is your home."

As the Luo family got out of the car, they were mesmerized by the lush trees and intricately carved porches.

The detached villas before them looked very expensive. Sun Xiulan quickly said, "Did we get the wrong place?"

Peng Xun signaled for the people in the cars behind to start moving the luggage inside before replying to Sun Xiulan, "Auntie, this is Luo Yao's deserved reward. You can live here with peace of mind."

Sun Xiulan was still uneasy and looked at Luo Yao, who remained silent.

He too had been stunned by Huaji's generosity when he first saw the villas.

Villas in East Capital cost at least eight figures. Was this house really for his family?

"Classmate Luo Yao, these are all houses built by Huaji. You and your family can live here with peace of mind. This is a benefit provided by Huaji, and it is what you deserve."

Seeing Peng Xun's earnestness, Sun Xiulan and Luo Xingguo finally believed him.

Sun Xiulan excitedly pulled Luo Xingguo and said, "Did you see that? Yao'er actually got us a villa!"

The Luo family had never even lived in an apartment building with an elevator. Now, suddenly moving into a villa, they were naturally overwhelmed with unprecedented joy.

When Luo Zhu arrived, she was also shocked by the villa before her.

"Mom and Dad, did we take a wrong turn?"

"Silly girl, this is your brother's achievement. The company rewarded him for it!"

Luo Zhu said in disbelief, "My brother's achievement?!"

"What did my brother do? Save Earth?" Luo Zhu couldn't understand. She understood the true nature of companies in society better than her parents. If he hadn't done something a superhero would do, how could he possibly get a villa?

She used to work herself to death at a courier station for only 120 Hua currency a day. Now, after only a few days of school, Luo Yao had received a villa?

She firmly believed that Luo Yao must have done something extraordinary!

While the adults were talking, Luo Zhu pulled Luo Yao aside and said with a serious expression, "Little brother, you absolutely must not do anything illegal because of our family's poor conditions. Once I get into university, I'll find a part-time job. You don't need to worry about money."

In Luo Zhu's opinion, Luo Yao had done something illegal for the family by helping criminals, and the other party had given them the villa to silence them.

Luo Yao was very smart, but he was too young and had definitely been used by others.

Luo Yao shook his head and said, "Sister, you're overthinking it. I'm cooperating with Huaji Company now, and this place belongs to Huaji."

Huaji?

Luo Zhu exclaimed, "It's Huaji! I've heard they have a Genius Program! Did you join that?"

"That's correct. Luo Yao is now a member of our Genius Program. Please feel at ease staying here."

After hearing Peng Xun's reply, Luo Zhu excitedly pulled Luo Yao, praised him repeatedly, and then ran back into the villa to see her new room.

"What is the Genius Program? You never told me about it," Luo Yao asked when his family was not nearby.

"Huaji actually recruits geniuses from all over the world and plans to make breakthroughs in various technological fields. If you hadn't provided the EDA, they would have developed it sooner or later."

Geniuses?

Luo Yao became interested, "When can I meet them?"

Seeing Luo Yao's interest, Peng Xun gradually figured out his preferences.

"Tomorrow. You will have a test then, which will be used to determine your salary."

It seemed his salary would be determined by his test results, which Luo Yao had no objection to.

Seeing Luo Yao remain silent, Peng Xun thought he was dissatisfied with the conditions. He didn't dare to keep him waiting like he might others and quickly said:

"Currently, the company has granted you 15% TUP shares, which will start receiving dividends from the second year."

"In addition, there are 20% virtual shares, which will receive dividends this year but not decision-making rights. There are also 8% physical shares with both dividends and decision-making power."

Huaji's shares?

Luo Yao had seen before that Huaji's annual dividends were over 70 billion Hua currency. In terms of rewards, they were indeed generous.

They were the type to issue shares at the slightest disagreement.

It seemed Huaji had put a lot of effort into keeping him.

So far, Luo Yao was very satisfied with Huaji's actions, especially arranging for his family to stay in the villa. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the software tomorrow."

"No problem. Tomorrow morning, we will formally hand it over to the technical president of Laboratory 012, Mr. Rao. You all rest, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at eight."

Before leaving, Peng Xun specially brought them several meals from the Huaji cafeteria. After settling everything, Peng Xun left.

Looking at the genuine smiles on his parents' and sister's faces, Luo Yao felt that all his efforts had been worth it.

The Luo family spent an unforgettable night in their new home. The next morning, Luo Yao was picked up by Peng Xun.

While on the road, Luo Yao's phone suddenly received a text message.

[Your account ending in 0416 received a deposit of 200,000,000 Hua currency (reward) on October 10th at 08:06.]

The reward from Huaji had arrived.

Luo Yao glanced at it and knew it was 200 million.

He thought for a moment and decided to inform Peng Xun, "I've received the reward."

Peng Xun saw a slight smile on Luo Yao's face in the rearview mirror and felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

"It's good that you received it. Then let's go see President Rao now."

Rao Huiling hadn't been home for several days. There was a military cot in Rao Huiling's office, which was where she slept at night.

She and market president Yu Bei were rushing to build a new market team. Launching the EDA would definitely be a tough battle, and they dared not be careless.

After receiving the software installation package from Luo Yao, Rao Huiling did not forget to ask him an important question.

"Have you decided on the name for this EDA?"

"Yes, Pangu."

Rao Huiling's mind was in chaos at the moment. Upon hearing the word, she immediately felt as if a dark cloud had parted, revealing the sun, and she became clear-headed.

"Pangu, what a great name! Pangu created heaven and earth. Isn't what we're doing now exactly that?"

"Luo Yao, you'll soon see the Pangu EDA software becoming popular in our market!"

Luo Yao thought of the system's requirements: the more people who used the technology he developed, the more points he would earn.

So he shook his head and said, "I want the international market too."

This kid really has a big appetite!

Rao Huiling was stunned and, for the first time, smiled, "Okay, I promise you!"

She said it lightly, but Rao Huiling knew that every step would be arduous.

After Luo Yao left, Rao Huiling pulled Yu Bei and the original operations director of the EDA department to hold a product meeting.

In the past, meetings were organized by the product manager. However, since Luo Yao was both the product manager and developer of Pangu EDA, Rao Huiling took the lead in organizing the meeting to plan the data migration, customer information, promotional materials, and publicity channels before the launch.

On the other side.

Peng Xun brought Luo Yao to Huaji's most special and mysterious location.

The Genius Incubation Ground—Liushangpo.

Colorful buildings dotted the rolling hills, making it feel like a tourist town.

Standing on a high point, Luo Yao was brushed by a gentle breeze. He looked down at the buildings and people below, and a phrase inexplicably rose in his heart.

"From the peak of the high mountain, one sees the great river surge; above the multitude of peaks, one feels the vast wind roar!"

He knew.

In the future, he would be an important participant, witnessing the surging tides of change on this land!

Of course, he also hoped to meet more intelligent people…
