Chapter 212 Working Day and Night to Develop Software
Top-floor office at the Hofmeister Global Computer Engineering R&D Base.
Ning Chen was leaning back in his custom-made gaming ergonomic chair, gently shaking his left index finger and drawing a circle in the air.
He stared intently at the code on the screen, constantly making adjustments in pursuit of perfection.
This is his latest anti-hacking software, compatible with both PC and mobile devices, with an extremely high level of security.
After Ning Moran sent him the message, he began working day and night on software research, trying to get Ning Moran to send it to Ning Yao as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to worry about the security of her personal information in the future.
A quick knock came at the door, and before Ning Chen could even frown and respond, the other person strode in.
"Ning Chen, you're still working on this software? When are you going out with me?" A girl with a ponytail, wearing a well-tailored white tracksuit, showed off her curves. She had big eyes and exuded youthful energy.
"If you ever barge into my territory without knocking again, I'll pick you up and throw you out of the top-floor window." Ning Chen glanced coldly at Huo Muxi, his voice devoid of any warmth, yet tinged with anger.
“Then my third uncle won’t let you off the hook. You can forget about working at my family’s base.” Huo Muxi blinked, not afraid of Ning Chen’s temper at all, and had a rather smug look on her face.
"Whatever." Ning Chen didn't care about Huo Muxi's childish threat at all.
Even without the Huo family, other computer research and development companies would be vying for him, and he would choose which company to work for entirely based on his mood.
"You haven't rested much for two days. Do you want to cultivate immortality?" Huo Muxi couldn't help but ask Ning Chen another question.
Ever since Ning Chen came to their company, she couldn't control her heart when she saw Ning Chen on her first day of internship.
She considered herself a great beauty, and no man who saw her could resist her charm, especially since she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family.
But some people just don't play by the rules. When Ning Chen brushed past her, he didn't even give her a second glance, completely ignoring her. Everyone around him fawned over her, trying to gain her favor.
But Ning Chen was different. He was always self-centered, and his indifferent yet irritable eyes seemed to hold no one else.
Huo Muxi was indignant. Why did this boy, who was several years younger than her, not even look at her?
Is she not pretty enough, or is her background not good enough?
From then on, she pestered Ning Chen every day, vowing to win over this hot-tempered handsome guy!
Ning Chen ignored Huo Muxi. He had a clean and neat short black haircut, which made his face look particularly cold and fair. His long and beautiful fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out one line of code after another.
Seeing that Ning Chen remained silent, Huo Muxi, a woman with emotional intelligence and a sense of propriety, immediately stopped bothering Ning Chen and waited quietly to the side.
Even if Ning Chen faces this boring code every day, he's still a human being, right?
Humans need to eat and sleep, right? Besides, teenage boys also have physiological needs.
Ning Chen couldn't stand Huo Muxi staring at him like a surveillance camera. He got up irritably and took out a huge black plastic bag from a cabinet.
Huo Muxi saw Ning Chen approaching carrying a dark object. She had just put on a flattering smile when she was plunged into darkness and could see nothing.
"Ning Chen, what are you doing!" Huo Muxi struggled to get out of the black plastic bag, but Ning Chen quickly tied her up, making it impossible for her to move.
Ning Chenchun pretended not to hear Huo Muxi's cries for help, sat back down in his chair, put on his earphones, turned up the music, and continued coding.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Chen finally finished writing. He stared at his work with satisfaction, quickly packed it up, and sent it to Ning Moran.
After Ning Moran received it, she sent him a message.
Ning Moran: [The software's usage and installation process are a bit complicated, and it would be troublesome to explain them here.]
Ning Moran: [I'll give you her contact information, can you send it to her yourself?]
Ning Chen stared at the screen for a moment, then tapped a line of text on his phone.
No need. I've compiled a very detailed instruction manual; just send it to her, she'll understand it.
The message remained unsent for a long time. Ning Chen hesitated, deleting it word by word and re-editing it.
Okay, send me her contact information, I'll add her now.
After sending the message, Ning Moran quickly gave Ning Yao's contact information to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen hesitated, his fingertips hovering over the "add friend" button, looking somewhat uneasy.
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes scraping against the floor rang out. Ning Chen, who was too focused on his work, was startled and added the sound.
The profile picture of Ning Yao was a selfie, showing her smiling gently.
A new unread message was displayed next to the profile picture, with the red "1" circled around it and standing out prominently.
At this moment, a man rushed to Huo Muxi's side and hurriedly untied her.
After opening the plastic bag, the man pulled both sides to their maximum to give Huo Muxi enough space to breathe fresh air.
He was Ning Chen's colleague, named Pan Fan, who also worked at Huo's Global Computer Engineering R&D Base. He was gentle and refined-looking, but unfortunately, he was not tall; even with height-increasing shoes, he was barely 1.75 meters tall.
After doing all this, the man reprimanded Ning Chen with a serious expression.
"Ning Chen, do you know what you're doing? How could you treat Xiao Xi like this? What if President Huo finds out..."
"Alright, alright, who asked you to meddle in my business? This is just a little fun between Ning Chen and me. Why are you telling my third uncle?"
Huo Muxi protected Ning Chen and prevented Pan Fan from tattling to Huo Zhijing.
"Xiao Xi, wake up! This person doesn't like you at all. Don't waste your time on him."
"I bought two tickets for a movie starring Qin Kun. How about I go with you tonight?"
"I'm not going!" Compared to Pan Fan's fawning and obsequious manner, Huo Muxi naturally preferred Ning Chen's directness.
She disgustedly slapped away Pan Fan's hand as he handed her the movie tickets. "You have to decide who you're watching the movie with," she thought. "I don't want to go with Pan Fan."
He was skinny and short, and couldn't give her any sense of security.
Ning Chen is better; he's tall and looks slender, and thanks to his regular exercise, he has quite a bit of muscle.
Ning Chen nervously opened the voice message sent by Ning Yao, seemingly indifferent to the two people flirting behind him.
Ning Yao's clear yet gentle voice rang out in the room, attracting Huo Muxi and Pan Fan to look over.
Ning Yao: [I received the software, thank you very much. How much was the fee? I'll transfer it to you right away.]
Ning Chen's ears suddenly turned red, and his eyes flashed with excitement. As Ning Yao's voice rang out, the overwhelming longing in his heart suddenly exploded.
He listened to the voice message three times, but it still wasn't enough. He forced himself to calm down and replied to Ning Yao's message first.
Ning Chen cleared his throat, his deep, cold voice tinged with a hint of shyness.
Ning Chen: [No need for money, I just did it casually, it didn't take much time or effort.]
Ning Chen: [If you have time now, I can install it remotely for you.]
Ning Chen: [I'm not usually very busy. If you have any questions about the software, feel free to ask me anytime.]
Huo Muxi and Pan Fan could hardly believe that Ning Chen would chat with a woman on WeChat.
Pan Fan thought to himself, "He actually said he's not usually busy, but he's always the first one to arrive and the last one to leave the company, which is why he's such an outstanding employee."
Huo Muxi's mind was filled with alarm bells.
She was very curious about who the woman who was chatting with Ning Chen on WeChat was.
Ning Chen spent several days and nights making software for her, but in the end he didn't charge her a penny and even said she could ask him anytime if she had any questions.
Why should I?!
