260: Chapter 259 The Road to Growth

"Why aren't you going home?"

The sudden question caught Liu Yemei slightly off guard.

Seeing Wang Shuo staring at her, Liu Yemei reached up to adjust her glasses and said calmly, "It's because you, President Wang, haven't finished work yet. As your assistant, I should be ready to await your instructions at any time."

"Is that so?"

Wang Shuo looked at Liu Yemei and nodded. "It is indeed quite busy tonight, so I'll have to trouble you, Sister Liu. Still, make sure to get some rest early; there are very important matters for you to handle tomorrow."

She nodded in acknowledgment.

Only then did Wang Shuo continue walking forward.

Upon returning to the company, Wang Shuo headed straight for his temporary lounge.

After entering, Wang Shuo's brows furrowed slightly.

Although Liu Yemei was very dedicated, it was rare for her to stay at the company past midnight. Still, it was normal enough; after all, it wasn't impossible for her to occasionally work overtime until this hour.

What really made Wang Shuo find it strange were Liu Yemei's small actions today.

Thanks to the enhancements from the Humanoid Race, Wang Shuo was extremely sensitive to these minute details and had keenly captured Liu Yemei's abnormality.

However, thinking of Liu Yemei's calm expression, it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

It really is a headache.

You don't say anything, I don't say anything, and we'll just pretend this matter doesn't exist?

When will these employees of mine ever mature a little so that I, as their boss, have to worry less?

Sighing, Wang Shuo pulled out the sofa and spread out the cushions, which barely counted as a 1.2-meter small bed.

Lying on the bed and closing his eyes, he activated… Knowledge Infusion!

...

Liu Yemei sat quietly in her own office.

She hadn't turned on the lights, and the faint light from outside the window shone into the office, allowing one to barely see.

Only at times like this did she feel a long-lost sense of exhaustion.

Taking out her phone and opening her mobile banking app, Liu Yemei looked at the figures in her account and couldn't help but furrow her brows.

She clicked transfer, entered 50,000, and clicked confirm.

After getting it done, Liu Yemei let out a slight sigh of relief, appearing a bit more at ease.

She stood up, preparing to unfold her simple bed to rest, when her phone suddenly jumped.

It was WeiChat.

Liu Yemei merely took a glance, then set the phone aside, ignoring it.

Perhaps because Liu Yemei hadn't replied for a long time, a minute later, the phone suddenly began to vibrate urgently.

Liu Yemei frowned slightly, picked up the phone to look at the incoming call, and after a long while, she gently swiped the phone… and turned it off.

Setting the phone aside, she lay down fully clothed and stared at the ceiling.

Liu Yemei was lost in thought.

How long had she been at this company?

It seemed to be nearly two months.

When she first arrived and saw Wang Shuo's young face, she had concluded that the company wouldn't last more than a month before going bankrupt due to a broken capital chain.

But now, her judgment seemed to have been wrong.

Not only had this company not gone bankrupt, but in less than two short months, it had earned wealth that other companies couldn't earn in ten or even decades.

She had witnessed the birth of a billionaire with her own eyes.

Just a moment ago, this newly minted billionaire had thrown away 200 million, simply because he was interested.

The hobbies of the wealthy were always so capricious.

Liu Yemei had seen plenty and was long past being surprised.

However, thinking of Wang Shuo's naive and cute expression, Liu Yemei couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

Her boss had grown a lot in these past few months, but he was only eighteen after all, and occasionally he would still reveal his true nature.

However, this couldn't hide the increasingly deep sense of majesty about him. Even she, at times, would feel a heart-palpitating depth from Wang Shuo.

The strange thing was that even when this feeling like an abyss appeared, Wang Shuo still gave people the feeling of a youth.

Two completely opposite feelings appearing on one person at the same time made one feel that it was both twisted and harmonious.

But these things seemed to have nothing to do with her.

What she needed to do was to maintain the operation of this company, at least until President Wang found more people to replace her.

And the Young Lady…

Thinking of Chen Xin, Liu Yemei felt a bit helpless.

As a woman, her intuition was undoubtedly sharp.

She had seen all of Chen Xin's changes over these past two months, and she was naturally very clear about what these changes meant.

However…

Thinking of Chen Xin's instructions to her, Liu Yemei had a slight headache. The Young Lady… really was as troublesome as ever.

Sighing softly and pushing this problem aside for now, Liu Yemei raised her head and called out softly, "Xiao Ling."

There was no response in the empty room, but Liu Yemei knew the zero egg had heard.

"Find me some soothing light music, play it at a low volume and slow speed, and turn it off after ten minutes."

There was still no response, but the sound of music began to play softly.

The night deepened.

Pengcheng.

Inside a top-tier apartment located within the Third Ring Road.

young man was sitting in front of a workbench, a glint of light flashing slightly in his eyes.

On the computer in front of him, a complex design blueprint composed of countless lines was displayed.

young man was holding the mouse, making fine adjustments to the details on the blueprint.

He was looking very carefully. Every time he adjusted a spot, he would zoom out to view the entire blueprint, and only after confirming there were no problems would he proceed to the next spot.

An hour later, young man let out a soft breath of stale air, saved the blueprint on the desktop, then clicked offline, exiting the cloud service state.

Finishing his day's work, young man stretched, picked up his water cup to take a sip, and then reopened the browser.

Ten minutes of relaxation before bed; this was his habit.

Before he could decide what to watch, a small message bubble popped up in the bottom right corner of the browser.

"What is this?"

young man had never seen anything similar on a browser before and clicked it out of curiosity.

"You have a new message from Frontier Technology. Would you like to view it?"

Frontier Technology?

young man's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had remembered something, and he clicked confirm.

The screen jumped.

As expected, it was the webpage for Frontier Technology.

On the page, a large countdown was displayed.

"Time remaining until your zero egg arrives: 7 hours 55 minutes."

young man revealed a hint of surprise.

Although he was very busy, he would still find time to check this countdown to confirm when he would receive the zero egg.

He remembered very clearly that at this time last night, the countdown had about five days remaining. In just one night, it had directly changed to seven hours?

young man was a bit curious. How exactly was the delivery time for this zero egg determined? It was made to seem like winning a lottery.

How about I don't look at materials tonight and watch the test video for this zero egg instead?

young man was a bit conflicted.

For the ten minutes before bed, he would generally look at some related technical materials and industry trends. This habit had started since he was in high school.

A good sense of self-discipline had allowed him to persist for nearly ten years.

Now, he was already a technical engineer with an annual salary of two million, but he still maintained this habit.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would keep this habit going until he truly entered the halls of knowledge.

But today… this numerical countdown did indeed make him interested in investigating it.

However, before investigating, he had to look at the movements and evaluations of other users, and then decide whether to visit the site.

Moving the mouse, young man clicked open the Frontier Technology forum.

"Dreams Are Not Easy": "Hahahaha, I got it, I got it! It flew to my side on its own, recognized me at a glance from the crowd, it truly is worthy of being my treasure! Thanks to Boss Wang Shuo for sending me this assistant, wishing you a promotion and a raise!"

"Landing and Licking Every Day": "I am very sad. This zero egg was a gift for my girlfriend, and I filled in my girlfriend's information, but I paid for it!!! Now, it doesn't recognize me! I asked it, if we broke up who would it go with, and it actually… actually… turned its head and left with my girlfriend! It didn't even say a word to me!"

"Prodigal Son Does Not Return": "In the past, I thought I had seen through the lies of Frontier Technology, but then I found out I was shallow; later, I thought I had seen through everything about Frontier Technology, but I still found out I was shallow; until now, I realized that I hadn't even understood one ten-thousandth of Frontier Technology. The bitter tears of my heart can be summed up in two words: Awesome!"

"Bu Yi Bu Yi": "Asking weakly, when will my zero egg be shipped? So anxious."

"Little Phoenix": "Same here! If it's not shipped soon, I'm coming to your company to block the door!!!"

young man was a bit dazed. What was going on?

The style of this forum was not right.

Frowning, he closed the forum, and young man clicked to search for zero egg test.

In fact, he didn't even need to search; as long as he opened the browser, the top headline was still zero egg.

He casually clicked on the most popular test video, and young man took a casual glance at the comments, immediately stunned.
