Chapter 23 - Psi

When the lawyer left, Sera stared at the contract again. Just now, she told the lawyer that she needed time to think about it. This answer was enough to surprise the lawyer. But he still nodded and left with a smile on his face.

"This offer is really generous," Sera reviewed the documents again as she finished her tea. She wondered why Quinn Media would hire someone like her. This itself was really suspicious. Did she offend them? Was it because she showed up in their building with Xu Je'er?

Sera thought about that pickle woman. She heard that the Xu Family suffered because of Xu Je'er's actions. So foolish. Sera ended up with another sigh. She removed all the thoughts from her head and started working on her current proposal for a bank loan. She really wanted a loan for her business.

However, Cross was kind enough to lend her some money. So, she doesn't need a loan anymore. Soon after, Sera left her apartment to find a suitable office for her new company. However, after spending the entire day walking around the busy streets of Pane City, she realized one thing.

Starting a business is quite hard. Even looking for an office is already so hard, ah. All offices in the center of the city were pretty expensive. She couldn't afford it.

"Hey, Sera… what are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"

She lifted her head and look at Mrs. Yuan, this was the security guard's wife and the person in charge of the apartment.

"Ah?" Sera smiled, but her gaze soon turned towards the car that just slowed down in front of her. Isn't that Yuan Quan's car? Xu Je'er and Yuan Quan had been rivals for years, even Sera had become familiar with Xu Je'er's enemy.

"I was asking you. How come you are here alone?" Mrs. Yuan smiled.

"Oh, I was uh… I was tired from walking around." She was sitting on the bench just outside of the apartment building.

A gentle smile appeared in the older woman's eyes. "So, you were looking for a job?"

"No. I was looking for an office space." She didn't lie. "I wanted to find a place that I could rent for my small company."

Surprise flash in Mrs. Yuan's eyes. "Kids these days are really hardworking. What space do you want? I have some friends in real estate maybe they can help you?"

For a few seconds, a flash of embarrassment can be seen on her face. Her income is actually limited. Three million RMB is not really a lot for starting a business. Even if she added her measly four hundred thousand RMB savings, it wouldn't be enough for the pieces of equipment. "I just a small space."

"Hmmm… "As if understanding her thoughts, the old woman nodded. "Then, how about you accompany me for a while? I will show you something."

…..

Sera sat inside the small space in front of her. A satisfied smile was apparent on her face.

"This used to be an Internet cafe. As you can see, it's not so big. The Internet cafe had become bankrupt a long time ago. I know the person who owns this place so I can directly talk to him if you want to rent this place."

Until now, Mrs. Yuan's words continued ringing in her ears like a bell. It sounded pleasant. It was enough to make her smile. It had been a few minutes since she signed the contract with the owner and until now, she still couldn't believe it. Once again, she eyed the space and smiled.

This space wasn't big. It was about sixty meters squared. For an office that can be very small. However, she doesn't really have that many employees. Right now, it's only her and Xu Je'er. Once her company succeeds, she can always change into a bigger place.

After recovering from her emotions, Sera immediately called Xu Je'er and asked her to come to their new office. It took Xu Je'er a few minutes to arrive. Just like her, Xu Je'er was actually pretty satisfied with the small office. To her surprise, Xu Je'er was already talking about recruiting people for their company.

"So? I will work on the registration and other permits. But I need a name." Xu Je'er eyed her. "How can you start a company without even a name?"

"I want to name it… Psi."

"That sounds cool. Totally like a company that would become one of the brightest in Xu Country! Psi. Hmmm… I like this name." Xu Je'er beamed. "It's like a title of a science fiction movie. May I know what does it mean? Is it like Pi? Does it have some special meaning in hacking?"

"Oh, umm…" Sera stared at her. "It means… Pounds per square inch."

"Huh? Can you repeat that?"

"I mean, it could mean Personalized System of Instruction too. Your choice."

For a few seconds, Xu Je'er gave a wry smile. She could never guess what this woman is thinking. "So no other special meanings?"

"It's umm… its used to measure pressure on gasses," Sera uttered. "Psi sounds cool too."

"…" She was really thinking too much. Xu Je'er could only nod. After all, this woman was really the boss. "Alright, let's name it Psi. Actually, this idea is good too. When we get big and people will ask us why we use this name, we can always say because it sounded cool." She forced a smile.

Sera nodded. Of course, the name would sound cool. Hehe…

Seeing the smile on Sera's face, Xu Je'er pursed her lips and started discussing recruitment for their new software company. She also presented Sera with new market research that she created for their new company. The detailed research actually surprised Sera, as she never expected Xu Je'er to act like this.

"Don't look at me like that! I spent the whole night doing this." Xu Je'er pouted. "I talked to my mother, and she said that… that the Quinn media is putting pressure on our company. She actually didn't know why they did it, but I know! It was because of me that might might have tracked me and got angry. Sera, I can't go home now because I am too embarrassed. I made my father suffer because I was too reckless. So I decided to put my heart into this company and prove to my father that I am worthy of being a Xu, ah!" Xu Je'er sighed. "Anyway, I already decided. I am going to help you make Psi one of the best companies in the City! Let's make a promise, alright?"

"What promise?"

"We will go to the top! You and me! We will make Psi number one!"

Sera smiled as she looked at the naive girl next to her. "Alright. Let's do that!"
