Lu Shaoting pulled Su Ling to introduce her to various business partners and senior leaders in the company. As the future second mistress of the Lu family, she couldn't be completely ignorant about Lu Enterprises. Luckily she was close to the first mistress, Wan Jia. Later, he would ask her to teach Su Ling a thing or two.
Meanwhile, Wan Jia was being sought after more than Lu Aotian. Was there any other reason? It was of course for business.
In this banquet, everyone was allowed to bring along a friend. Some of those people who tagged along were people who had tried to seek collaborations or sponsorship from Lu Enterprises. With Lu Aotian as the president, they had definitely not been able to meet him, much less discuss with him.
When they heard that Wan Jia would be attending this banquet, they had tried their best to attend it as well. Perhaps if they spoke to her, she would help them pass the message to Lu Aotian.
One of them was a young genius called Zede; who wanted to be employed by Lu Enterprises' technology subsidiary. Wan Jia looked at the young man in front of her who was pleading with her and was almost on the verge of tears. She glanced at Little Jia who had turned into her grandfather's shadow and changed her mind about going home. She would go after listening to this little genius.
"Mrs. Lu, I will definitely work hard if you employ me."
Wan Jia did not want to rely on verbal promises. All she wanted to see was his potential. If he was really as hardworking as he claimed, maybe she would give him a chance. "How would I know? Do you have a resume?"
He nodded. "I do."
"Then why don't you apply for an interview?"
"I did, but I was rejected. They said I wasn't impressive enough."
"…"
You were rejected, so you came looking for me?
"Then why do you think you will convince me?"
He gathered his courage and grabbed this last chance. "Mrs. Lu, those guys didn't even let me finish my presentation and sent me away; but you will definitely…"
"Straight to the point."
The young man shuddered. The Wan Jia he was facing right now was nothing like the soft little woman everyone knew. Her gaze was stern and, goodness, she looked intimidating! Had she been possessed by Lu Aotian?
Not wanting to lose his hard-earned chance, he took out his laptop from his bag and switched it on quickly. Then, he showed Wan Jia his first creation. "This is a file keeper. It can secure up to five files on your computer and will only be accessed by one person. If an unauthorized person attempts to open it, the virus in it will destroy all the files in one minute."
Wan Jia's expression didn't change. Her husband had one that could keep an unlimited number of files and the destruction would only take twenty seconds.
"Not impressed."
The young man did not give up. He rattled on about his creations for a very long time but Wan Jia's expression didn't change at all. Every time he said something new, he would lose a little hope. He had tried to find a job using his inventions but often, he would not be hired but he would soon find out that they stole his idea and used it to create something more impressive. As a result, he also started using other people's ideas and sure enough, it got him nowhere.
At last, he showed her the only original thing he had left. At this point, he had lost all his hope. If Wan Jia wanted to steal his idea too, so be it. But he had a feeling Wan Jia wouldn't do that.
"These are the codes for a little robot. It's in the form of a kitten. I named it "The copycat" because it has been programmed to record any sort of information it is sent to get. To put it simply, it can be used for a spy mission. Don't be fooled by its abilities, it's not as big as it sounds. It's actually the size of a newborn kitten." He sighed. "Mrs. Lu, this is my first invention. I spent two years developing it."
He looked at Wan Jia who had been listening attentively.
"Impressive."
As soon as he heard that one word, all the lost hope rushed back to his heart. "Does that mean I'm in?"
Wan Jia shook her head. "Although I think the theory of it is impressive, I still have to see that Copycat in action. If it can impress my husband, then consider yourself in."
As soon as she said that, the young man flashed a cute smile. "Thank you for giving me this chance. I will definitely not disappoint you. When should I bring The Copycat for you to see?"
"I will help you book an appointment with the President and vice President. You can explain it in more detail then. You should know that the final decision lies with them."
"Thank you lady boss." The young genius almost gave his life and the lives of eight of his generations to her."
"If you want to thank me, don't let my effort go to waste." Wan Jia had a good impression of this young genius.
"I will definitely not let you down, lady boss."
As soon as the young man left, Wan Jia didn't have chance to leave before a certain CEO's assistant rushed up to her, panting. "Mrs. Lu."
