1643 Paid For Your Help


    Meng Jue tutted softly. “You’re heartless.”


    “I don’t mind being even more heartless.” Huo Yao flicked her fingers and responded airily.


    Meng Jue cleared his throat. He promptly caved in and said, “You’ll be paid.”


    “Ah… good. I happen to be free tonight. I don’t see why I can’t give you some technical advice,” said Huo Yao smoothly and nced at her watch.


    !!


    Meng Jue went speechless.


    Sure enough, she was a money face.


    The shy sports car arrived at DO Corporation’s research base 30 minutester.


    High-technology equipment was used at the research base entrance. The mobile camera scanned Meng Jue’s car before letting him pass.


    After parking the car, Meng Jue introduced the facility and showed Huo Yao to the headquarters. “This is your first time here. Let me warn you that the ce is highly secure and has restricted ess. Just follow closely behind meter.”


    Huo Yao looked up at the main lobby which looked very futuristic. It felt as though they had stepped into a sci-fi world. Everywhere she looked, she could see high-technology products. In the end, her eyesnded on a robot ced at the center of the show room for a couple of seconds.


    Meng Jue noticed her looking at the robot, so he said, “That’s DO Corporation’s first-generation robot. However, its system has already been upgraded. This is just for disy.”


    “I see.” Huo Yao veered her eyes. She knew it was his first-generation robot. She was simply puzzled about the change in color. It clearly looked different from a few years ago.


    She did not ask the question out loud. If she did, she would get exposed.


    “Let me take you to the showroom on the second floor.” Meng Jue pointed at a spiral staircase and led the way.


    Huo Yao nodded and followed behind him.


    The second-floor showroom looked even more futuristic. The walls consisted ofrge LED monitors with multidimensional space images appearing on them. It looked very ssy and impressive.


    After looking around the second floor, Huo Yao reacted in surprise. “Your software systems have been doing well in the recent years.”


    His tech was considered top-of-the-line in this time and age.


    Meng Jue smiled as he nced at Huo Yao’s youthful face. He sighed and said, “I have you to thank for inspiring me. I could never have done it on my own.”


    A few years ago, his Daddy was just a kid! Her knowledge of software systems was far beyond this era. It seemed as though she was a treasure trove of wisdom from beyond our times.


    Huo Yao raised her brow. “You’re very smart yourself.”


    Meng Jue shook his head. He walked up to a ckptop at the center of the room and powered it on. “Let me show you a security software.”


    Theptop activated in just a second. He tapped on the keyboard a couple of times and pulled out themand box.


    Huo Yao nced at theputer and frowned slightly. “You didn’te up with the program, right?”


    Meng Jue did not understand why Huo Yao knew it was not his creation just with a single look. He replied unhurriedly. “This is a new engineering contract we are working on. The client wants us to make changes based on this software to help increase its level of security.”


    Huo Yao took a couple of steps forward and swiped the touchpad. After half a minute, she pulled her hand back and said, “This program is wless and there’s little room for improvement.”


    Meng Jue nced at Huo Yao. “Do you think so too?”


    “Uh huh.” Huo Yao paused and asked. “Has yourpany closed the deal?”
