11: The limited edition rabbit and Qinghai Lake battery from Chapter 11 have been discovered?

Lu Li felt an instant headache. This little girl had just let him join the company, and already she was thinking of treating him like a workhorse?

He hadn't even officially started yet, and it was already this miserable. If he really joined the company...

The mere thought of that scene made him dare not imagine any further.

Capitalists were indeed capitalists; they didn't want to waste even a second.

"Only twice a week!"

Lu Li set his terms. He couldn't let this girl push her luck, or he was afraid he'd become a workhorse in a few days.

Su Qingxue smiled and agreed:

"Fine, twice a week. I'll pay you the salary of a Creative Director."

Hearing this, Lu Li leaned lazily against the sofa.

His eyes wandered as his brain worked at high speed.

He couldn't provide ideas that were too advanced. Hardware like under-display cameras or periscope lens modules was definitely off the table.

He couldn't even mention them.

Otherwise, he was afraid that Doubao AI wouldn't be able to handle so much trouble and would confess everything...

Seeing Lu Li thinking, Su Qingxue also used her beautiful eyes to quietly watch her husband's handsome face.

Creative ideas definitely weren't that easy to come up with.

Otherwise, her company wouldn't be supporting so many people.

Lu Li would probably have to think all night, she thought, the corners of her mouth curling up.

She hadn't seen any achievements from Lu Li in game development anyway. Finding something for her husband to do now wasn't bad either.

Otherwise, he would go out every day to walk birds, tease dogs, and play gomoku with old men.

It was too strange...

Just as she was thinking this, she prepared to get up to brew a cup of tea for the two of them.

But from behind came Lu Li's steady voice, the content of which made her slightly dazed.

"Humanistic care."

Thinking of a certain public service advertisement, Lu Li slowly spat out those four words.

"Humanistic care?" Su Qingxue frowned slightly, clearly not following his train of thought.

"Think about it now. Isn't every company competing to stack parameters and compare performance? But isn't technology meant to better serve people?"

Lu Li changed to a more comfortable position, his tone casual but carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Lu Li, you don't understand. For the sake of differentiation and to win sales, parameters and performance are the only things that matter."

Hearing her husband say this, Su Qingxue even doubted her previous conjecture.

Could it be that her husband really only had some creative ideas?

In reality, he was just an armchair strategist!

"But what about the future? What if the performance of all companies is no different? Everyone uses screens, CPUs, and optical lenses from the same supply chain. Shouldn't we look to the future and lay the groundwork in advance?"

Lu Li wasn't just saying this randomly.

In his previous life, there was a manufacturer that did this very well.

"This..." Su Qingxue's eyes lit up slightly.

It was foreseeable that in the future, the flagships of all companies would enter a cycle of monotonous updates, with configurations mostly being bucket-like and not much different.

"Keep talking!"

Su Qingxue sat up straight and even took out a small notebook, placing it on the coffee table beside her, ready to take notes.

"In the future, everyone's system will be optimized to the limit. If you optimize that 1% or 2% further, users won't really feel it. Why not do something else, something other manufacturers haven't done?"

Lu Li took a deep look out the window. In his previous life, he had also implemented this to the end.

Being considerate of his compatriots was also true patriotism.

"For example, there's a deaf person who wants to communicate with others but can only use sign language. This means it's very inconvenient for them to go out. How many people understand sign language?"

"But what if Guanghui Technology released a sign language recognition software that also does voice playback?"

As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, the hand Su Qingxue was using to take notes trembled slightly.

She hadn't expected that there was such a considerate way to take care of those special users.

"Suppose there is a deaf father whose daughter is getting married. He wants to go up on stage and say something. If sign language is recognized by the front camera and translated into voice playback..."

Lu Li gave a slight example.

Beside him, Su Qingxue was listening exceptionally carefully, just like... how she used to listen attentively in class.

Looking down at the notes again—Sign language translation!

This idea left her stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time.

All these years, all manufacturers had been competing on parameters and performance, yet no one had ever truly thought from the perspective of special groups about what else mobile phones could do for them!

This wasn't just a feature; it was an attitude, a vision!

Once realized in the future, the brand image of Guanghui Mobile would instantly soar!

The way she looked at Lu Li changed slightly. Was this guy really just a failed game designer?!

It was clearly a case of talent being used in the wrong place!

It was as if she had instantly forgotten that she had just thought her husband was unreliable...

Su Qingxue took a deep breath, took out her phone, and sent a message to the core executive group.

[Guanghui Technology - Su Qingxue]: "@Software Department - Chief System Architect Zhang Chen, initiate a project to create an accessibility software. First, study the feasibility of video recognition of sign language and real-time translation."

The group was quiet for a few seconds.

[Software Department - Chief System Architect Zhang Chen]: "President Su, this... is it targeted at the deaf community? Our R&D resources are a bit tight. The development cost of this feature is extremely high, and besides... the user base is too small, the commercial value might..."

Chief System Architect Zhang Chen's words were very tactful, but the meaning was clear: this thing wouldn't make money.

[Guanghui Technology - Su Qingxue]: "In short, initiate the project first. Research isn't something that happens overnight. You don't need to worry about anything else!"

[Software Department - Chief System Architect Zhang Chen]: "Understood, President Su!"

After sending the message, Su Qingxue looked at Lu Li. Sure enough, due to mental inertia, they still didn't understand this move.

But she had been persuaded by Lu Li in just a few words, which proved that Lu Li's vision was very far-sighted.

This bad Lu Li...

Why did she feel like after two years of marriage, she didn't really understand him at all?

...

In the evening.

Lu Li finished a movie in the home theater on the negative first floor.

He stretched and walked out of the home theater.

His stomach was a bit hungry; he had to get his wife to cook.

But as soon as he came up the stairs, he smelled a faint scent of red wine and the charred aroma of steak.

Walking to the dining room, he froze.

The lights in the dining room weren't on; only a few candles on the dining table were burning quietly, their flames flickering. On the white tablecloth, exquisite tableware and decanted red wine were already prepared.

Su Qingxue was sitting on a chair, her graceful back facing him.

She seemed to have changed her clothes.

Not her usual silk pajamas.

Lu Li's gaze slowly moved down along Su Qingxue's neck, and his breathing stopped instantly.

Su Qingxue was actually wearing a black, form-fitting bodysuit, which outlined her curves to perfection. Wrapped around her long, straight legs were black silk stockings, gleaming under the dim light.

The most lethal part was that she also had a furry white ear headband on her head.

The usually decisive CEO had transformed into a pure-yet-alluring bunny girl.

This visual impact was even more exaggerated than the Full-screen display he had envisioned.

"Gulp."

Lu Li's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily. He felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but walk toward her step by step, his eyes burning like a big bad wolf.

And that "little white rabbit," hearing the footsteps, actually turned her head to look at him, completely oblivious:

"You finished the movie? This is... your reward for work..."

Before the word "work" could be finished, she let out a cry of surprise, and her whole body was scooped up by Lu Li. He rushed all the way to the master bedroom on the second floor, kicked the door open,

and threw her onto the soft bed.

"Wait, wait a minute, the food hasn't..."

"We are eating now—"

Lu Li's voice was hoarse and low, carrying aggression as he leaned down and pressed her.

...

An hour later.

The two of them came out of the bathroom, exhausted.

The carefully prepared candlelight dinner was reheated and served again. Lu Li even cooked extra, quickly stewing a sea cucumber soup in a pressure cooker.

Su Qingxue had changed into Lu Li's oversized white T-shirt, which barely reached the top of her thighs. Her two smooth, straight legs dangled under the table, and the lingering flush on her face was exceptionally moving in the candlelight.

She picked up the knife and fork, silently cutting the steak, not daring to look at the satisfied man opposite her.

Lu Li took a sip of soup and spoke slowly:

"President Su, are you satisfied with my work today?"

"Pfft—" The mouthful of red wine Su Qingxue had just drunk almost sprayed out. She forcibly swallowed it, her cheeks instantly turning red enough to bleed, and she glared at him in shame and annoyance.

This bad man, saying things like that right after doing that kind of thing?

"No talking while eating! Eat your food!"

She brought out the authority she used at the company, but that coquettish tone had no lethality at all.

Lu Li chuckled, served her another bowl of sea cucumber soup, and pushed it in front of her.

"Don't just eat. This is the performance evaluation session. President Su, are you going to give me a score for my 'work performance' tonight?"

"You!"

Su Qingxue felt her toes curl up. Under the table, she found the right spot and stomped hard on Lu Li's foot.

Lu Li let out a "hiss," but his expression showed no pain; instead, his smile deepened.

"It seems President Su is very satisfied, knowing how to give a good review." He picked up a piece of steak and handed it to her lips. "Open your mouth. This is me working overtime for you again. I really am a diligent and good employee!"

Su Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then, both shy and annoyed, opened her mouth and took it.

This guy was really getting worse and worse.

The meal ended amidst Lu Li's unscrupulous teasing and Su Qingxue's powerless suppression.

After finishing the last mouthful of soup, Lu Li leaned back in his chair and lazily summarized:

"President Su, next time you pay my salary, remember to notify me a day in advance so I can recharge my energy and create even more value for you."

Su Qingxue grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

This bad man!

The night passed.

...

The next day.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell on Su Qingxue's fair arms.

She slowly opened her eyes, the hangover-like soreness making her frown slightly.

The images from last night suddenly echoed in her mind, and her cheeks flushed bright red instantly.

Turning her head to look, Lu Li was still fast asleep, a satisfied smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Su Qingxue pinched him, both shy and angry, and then picked up her phone.

Ten-thirty in the morning!

Chen Shuyu, that girl, still hadn't come.

Last night, Chen Shuyu said she had found some document at her doorstep and was coming over today.

But last night she was tipsy from the red wine and hadn't heard clearly what kind of document it was.

She only heard something about a battery?

And at this moment, outside the villa.

That familiar red Audi A6L parked precisely in the parking space.

"Qingxue, for your sake, I have to work overtime on a Sunday!"

Chen Shuyu punched the steering wheel first.

She took out the crumpled piece of paper from her bag again and looked down at the title.

"Feasibility Report on Silicon-Carbon Anode Lithium-ion Battery Technology for Qinghai Lake..."

She gripped the paper tightly and fell into deep thought.
