I Want You

Chen Mo turned around when he heard the voice and was relieved to see a woman approaching him. He initially thought it was the female salesperson from the agency, but upon closer inspection, he realised he didn't know this woman.

She had shoulder-length blue hair and a lean and capable appearance, exuding a sense of power and strength that reminded Chen Mo of a successful woman in the workplace. Although he couldn't recall where he had seen her before, there was a vague sense of familiarity.

With his exceptional memory, he usually remembered people he had encountered, especially someone as attractive as her.

"Are you calling me?"

"Yes, I am." Zhao Min stopped before him, examining him from head to toe. Having seen only Chen Mo's back earlier, she now had a full view of him. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.

"You're the young man who saved the baby on the shopping street half a month ago, right?" Zhao Min said.

"Ah? Is there something you need?" Chen Mo didn't deny it.

The incident made headlines that day, and many people searched for him and Xiao Yu. However, due to the poor lighting at the time, the photos circulating online didn't clearly show their faces.

"I am the one whose bag was snatched by the gangster."

Zhao Min explained, recalling how Chen Mo's swift and agile actions had impressed her.

"Let's have a meal together. I'll treat you as a small token of gratitude," she proposed.

"But I'm not the one who get your bag." Chen Mo replied, slightly puzzled.

"You saved someone's life, and that's what matters. It's not often that we get a chance to meet again, so having a meal together is a small way for me to express my gratitude," Zhao Min insisted.

As Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo, she couldn't help but be drawn to his deep, confident gaze. There was something about him that intrigued her.

Yes," Chen Mo replied without hesitation.

Having a free meal was an offer he couldn't refuse, after all. Plus, it was an opportunity to spend time with a beautiful woman.

As they walked together, Zhao Min observed Chen Mo, who appeared younger than her. She seemed curious about him, wanting to learn more.

"My name is Zhao Min, like Zhao Min from Zhang Wuji's story. May I know your name, big hero?" Zhao Min broke the silence. Chen Mo's heroic actions during the rescue left a strong impression on her.

"Oh? My name is Chen Mo," he replied, touching his nose. "But I don't dare to call myself a hero."

"Where do you work currently?" Zhao Min inquired.

"I don't have a job," Chen Mo responded.

"You don't seem like someone unemployed. Would you like me to help you find a job?" Zhao Min offered.

"No, I'm preparing for my own business," Chen Mo smiled and redirected his gaze towards the vehicles passing by on the road.

"Entrepreneurship? Business is thriving these days. What industry are you planning to venture into? I have experience managing a company, so maybe I can give you some advice. If the opportunity arises, I could even introduce some potential partners to you," Zhao Min suggested, impressed by her favourable impression of Chen Mo. If she could assist him, she wouldn't hesitate.

"I'm focusing on high-tech products and technology development."

Seeing Zhao Min's enthusiasm, Chen Mo didn't hide his intentions.

"High-tech products? Technology development?" Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo with surprise, then looked up at the restaurant by the roadside and led him inside.

"In the technology field, it's one of the most challenging areas for novice entrepreneurs. If you've chosen this field without enough preparation, you are bound to fail. Do you have sufficient capital, technology, or a research and development team?" Zhao Min asked, choosing a seat by the window and gesturing for Chen Mo to sit across from her.

"I have the necessary funds and products, but I still need to get a team. The company has just been registered," Chen Mo replied, picking up the menu and flipping it open. He ordered a few dishes he liked and handed them to the waiter.

As they began to chat, they started getting to know each other better, discussing various topics.

Impressed by Chen Mo's boldness, Zhao Min decided to take the initiative to help him. After all, he had risked his life to save others, and she wanted to repay his kindness.

"Don't just focus on me; what about yourself? What are you currently doing?" Chen Mo redirected the conversation towards Zhao Min.

"I recently resigned from my position as the Vice President at Wanbao Group, so I am currently unemployed," Zhao Min replied.

Surprised by her response, Chen Mo quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for information about Zhao Min. Seeing her professional background and photos, he couldn't help but smile joyfully.

He realised that he needed someone with strong managerial abilities for his company. It seemed like a perfect fit and a stroke of luck.

Chen Mo gazed at Zhao Min, his eyes shining with eagerness and excitement as if a wolf had spotted its prey.

"I have a bold idea," Chen Mo said, straightening himself up and feeling more relaxed after sharing some personal details with Zhao Min. He was becoming less restrained.

"Go on," Zhao Min encouraged him, looking at Chen Mo with a playful smile.

"I want you..." Chen Mo began, but before he could finish, Zhao Min interjected.

"I don't think it works, little brother," Zhao Min teased, smiling mischievously at Chen Mo.

"I haven't finished yet. I would like you to help me manage the company. The company has just been registered, and I was looking for a manager. We seem to have a connection, and it's arranged by fate.

Zhao Min, a highly talented individual with a master's degree in business administration and two years of experience as Vice President at Wanbao Group in China, wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.

"That's quite a bold idea. You want to recruit the white wolf," Zhao Min said, looking at Chen Mo with a playful smile. "What's the name of your company? How many employees do you have? What's your product? And how much funding do you have?"

"The company was just successfully registered..." Chen Mo began to explain.

"Little brother, although I appreciate your boldness, I don't have the time to work with you," Zhao Min interrupted.

"Remove the word 'little'," Chen Mo replied dejectedly. "I have the funds and products, and I just need you to help me recruit staff and manage the company. Of course, and we can discuss the salary."

"How much funding are we talking about, little brother?" Zhao Min picked up the boiling water on the table as she spoke.

"Why do you keep calling me 'little brother'?" Chen Mo's forehead veins throbbed in frustration. "We have tens of millions in funding..."

"Oh? Ahem..."

Zhao Min was taking a sip of water but ended up choking.

Seeing Zhao Min's reaction, Chen Mo was in a good mood and handed her a paper towel from the table.

"Do you still doubt my words?"

"Take a look at this." Chen Mo placed the bank account balance information in front of Zhao Min.

"Are you stealing or robbing banks, little brother?"

As Zhao Min looked at the figures on the paper, her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't hide her astonishment at Chen Mo's substantial wealth.

"Still calling me 'little brother'?" Chen Mo's forehead twitched in annoyance. "This is the legitimate income after paying taxes."

"My salary is very high. If you want to play with your parents' money, you might as well go home and enjoy yourself."

"Have you ever seen such a handsome and rich person?"

Zhao Min laughed, teasing Chen Mo, "So, tell me about this product you mentioned. What is it?"

"A newly developed smartphone operating system."

"You seem to have two talents: doing good deeds and lying without blushing," Zhao Min remarked with a smile.

"Believe it or not, we can make a bet. If I really have a smartphone operating system, you join my company and help me manage it. If not, consider this phone a joke."

"What's the bet?" Zhao Min asked.

"You."

"Do you want my money or my dignity?" Zhao Min joked.

"I want your expertise."

Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to Zhao Min's teasing. He took out the newly developed Huawei mobile phone and placed it before her.

"I have a new OS system that I've developed. You can have a professional verify it. If it's indeed a new OS system, then you join my company and help me manage it. If not, consider this phone as just a joke."

Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo with a slight smile.

Chen Mo's calm and confident demeanour made her begin to hesitate. His appearance didn't seem like that of a liar. It wouldn't be beneficial for him to lie in this situation.

"If it's true, I'll join. Who knows, maybe I'll become the richest woman."

Zhao Min glanced at the phone and was surprised that it wasn't running on the Android system.

While she wasn't highly knowledgeable about technology, she had used many Android phones before. The interface she saw on the phone was definitely different from the Android system or any pre-existing Huawei system.

However, she couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a knockoff device. Nevertheless, she was already inclined to believe Chen Mo's words.

Zhao Min turned on the phone and then returned to Chen Mo.

"What's the name of your company?"

"It's called 'Marching Ant,' like an ant that has just emerged from its nest."
