Chapter 322 - 165: Feng Yu Falls for Chen Mo

Chapter 322: Chapter 165: Feng Yu Falls for Chen Mo

Chen Mo gently caressed her rosy shoulders and planted a kiss on her smooth, fair forehead.

"I have a few people here. You can try contacting them, maybe you can poach them for your company."

Xia Shiqing hugged Chen Mo tightly, blinking her beautiful eyes as she spoke to him.

’Oh?’

Chen Mo gave her a surprised look.

’The last time I asked her, I remember she said she didn’t know much about the venture capital world.’

"I recently contacted some of my old classmates from when I studied abroad. Some of them are in venture capital, so I asked them if they had any talent to recommend."

"I picked out a few people they repeatedly recommended. They should be the ones known in the VC world for being both capable and having good character."

Xia Shiqing listlessly picked up her phone from the side, opened her notes app, and showed it to Chen Mo.

On it were several names, including which companies they currently worked for and their positions.

It even clearly listed what projects they had invested in and their reputations within the venture capital circle.

Seeing this information, Chen Mo held her graceful body even tighter.

Xia Shiqing was the type to act more and talk less.

’She must have taken it to heart after I asked her last time if she knew anyone in venture capital. After going home, she started contacting her old classmates and began asking around for me. Once she found someone, she would then search for more detailed information on them. That definitely would have taken a lot of time and effort. And her own job is already very busy. She probably looked all this up for me at home after work.’

He had only mentioned it casually, but Xia Shiqing had prepared this whole memo for him.

Chen Mo felt that this gesture was more moving than any sweet words could ever be.

"Thank you."

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed her alluring lips.

"I’m just glad I could help."

Xia Shiqing wrapped her arms around Chen Mo’s neck, a charming smile appearing on her coolly beautiful face.

"You helped me, so I have to give you a reward."

Chen Mo smiled faintly, lifted her up, and got back on the jet ski.

Once again, splashes of spray bloomed across the surface of the sea.

After a few more laps on the jet ski, Chen Mo cooked the fish he had caught from the sea.

It was perfectly fresh and tasted delicious.

After they ate their fill, they started riding the jet ski again.

All in all, it was a weekend spent drifting freely on the sea.

...

「Monday.」

After about an hour of disciplined cardio training in the morning,

Xia Shiqing washed up and left for work.

She’d had a wonderful weekend, and it felt as if the tangled knot of longing she had felt recently had completely unraveled.

Since Xu Xiyue was at the company, he wasn’t in a rush to go in.

He first cleaned up the areas at home that had been soaked by sea spray, then took out the trash.

"RING~"

He had just come back up after taking out the trash when he heard his phone ring. Someone was calling him.

He glanced at it. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

Chen Mo answered the call.

"Mr. Chen, I hope I didn’t wake you?"

A familiar voice came from the other end.

"I’ve been up for a while. Captain Li, what can I do for you?"

Chen Mo immediately recognized the voice as Captain Li, the man who had taken the device the day before yesterday.

"We’ve finished analyzing that device. It’s a spy apparatus specially developed by a foreign power."

"This appears to be a new model they’ve developed. Its information theft capabilities are stronger and more covert than previous versions."

"If we had remained unaware, these devices could have stolen very important information and data. The resulting losses would have been immense."

"You did us a huge favor by fishing up this new device. Now that we know what to look for, searching for more will be much easier."

"Because this item has significant informational value, your reward this time is 100,000 yuan. You might not think much of it, but it’s higher than before."

"Furthermore, we’re preparing to award you with a ’Distinguished Contribution Award’ certificate to recognize your contribution to national security."

Captain Li didn’t mince words, giving him an overview of the situation with the device.

He also explained the reward he would receive.

A 100,000 yuan reward was indeed nothing to him now.

But Captain Li had mentioned a "Distinguished Contribution Award," and that carried immense weight.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he displayed this certificate at his company, it could save him millions in taxes every year.

Of course, that was on the condition that the company actually made enough money to be taxed that much.

If you didn’t make money, you didn’t have to pay taxes, so there would be nothing to exempt.

But with his constitution and Xu Xiyue’s luck, how could they possibly fail to make money with their powers combined?

When that time came, the certificate would be incredibly useful.

’As expected, my constitution has never let me down. Whenever that ’DING’ sounds, I always end up raking it in.’

"Thank you so much, Captain Li. I just did what any ordinary citizen should do."

"And this is the reward an ordinary citizen should receive."

"Mr. Chen, the actual distribution of the reward has to go through official procedures, so I hope you understand. We’ll be making a public announcement soon, and after that, you won’t need to keep it confidential anymore."

Captain Li then told him about a few other things.

After chatting for a while, the two of them hung up.

’As long as I don’t make any major missteps in the future, this award will be a small protective talisman.’

Chen Mo smiled, his mood excellent.

And naturally, he had no intention of making any such mistakes, so anyone who wanted to use underhanded tactics against him in the future would have to think twice.

After the washing machine finished with the bedsheets and duvet cover, and he had hung them out to dry,

Chen Mo unhurriedly drove toward his company.

By now, the morning rush hour was over, and the entrance to the building’s underground garage was clear.

He was driving, preparing to turn into the garage entrance.

Just then, a young man in a cheap suit, riding a shared bike, came cycling toward him, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Mo had just started the turn, the front of his car barely entering the garage ramp, when he saw the young man cycling toward him.

So, Chen Mo hit the brakes, stopping to politely yield to him.

But the man was distracted and only snapped out of it when he was about half a meter from the front of Chen Mo’s car.

But by then it was too late. Even though he squeezed the brakes, the shared bike inevitably collided with the front of Chen Mo’s 911.

"DING!"

And at that very moment, a familiar notification sound rang in Chen Mo’s mind.

’My bad luck has struck again!’
