In a blink, Hao Ren had spent an entire week inside the hospital and his injuries were stable, however, he was getting bored of sitting inside the room all day long. The young man asked the doctor to discharge him.
The doctors were skeptical but when Hao Ren used his skill of sooth-sayer, they could not help but agree to his request. In the past week, Hao Ren was not sitting ideal. He was speculating the stocks and making money on the international trade market.
Xiao Mei was helping him monitor the company, in the past week the users of their OS have increased to five million. On the second day that Hao Ren was in hospital, Klaus had come over and told him that if they were to release their mobile operating system on free portals then the big companies can sue them.
Hao Ren thought about it and decided to change the operating system into an assistant app. It was a voice command assistant that was capable of holding smooth conversations with the users about anything and everything.
However, there were still somethings that it could not do, such as pretending to be a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It would also discourage users if they were venting their frustration about something in a radical manner while also giving them some advise to feel better.
Hao Ren called this feature, Character Optimism. Within a week, there had been ten million downloads. Hao Ren did not hold back and the company bought five more servers and ten server maintenance technician teams. Two teams a server.
Not only that, Lynn Carter had told him that she wanted to expand the company because when the tech teams were creating projects, they would always have ideas and these idea were worth exploring. However, due to lack of man power they had to give up on diversions.
Thinking about it, Hao Ren allowed this motion, and told Lynn Carter to get a newer and bigger office space with attached dormitories. The lady was quick and within two days the office was shifted.
...
Hao Ren was sitting on the edge of the bed with his left arm was handing in a sling. The doctors were giving Han Lingshi some advice and things to pay attention to. The lady was nodding patiently and only Hao Ren was thinking, 'If only I could have told you that I am an accomplished Traditional medicine practitioner, you might stop yapping and let me go already.'
After half an hour, Hao Ren was leaning back in the seat of a super luxury car. He asked, "Since when did you decide to hire a chauffer?"
Han Lingshi was sitting beside him while she was gliding her jade like fingers on the tab. She smiled when she heard his question and said, "This is Brother Heath, he used to be a part of special forces, but due to an injury he had to retire. I hired him on the suggestion of my cousin. He used to be a scout so he can detect if we are being followed or something."
Hao Ren nodded with some surprise in his eyes. He ordered Xiao Mei to run a check on this guy while he said, "Thank you for your service, Brother Heath."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes at her and said, "That's why I said let me deal with it, but no, you want to deal with things. See, now I won't be able to see you for god knows how long."
Han Lingshi chuckled and said, "It's not that exaggerating, I will come back in a couple of weeks, you need to recover quickly."
Hao Ren nodded, and they came inside the house. The two people did not talk much and only sat down on the couch holding hands and snuggling with each other. There relationship had progressed very quickly but the silence they had between them was not a wall, on the contrary, it was a bridge which signified their comfort with each other.
The fact that they didn't need to talk to feel being close to each other was enough to state how strong their connection had become.
In the evening, Han Lingshi ordered some food and when Hao Ren was done eating she had him go and lay in his bedroom, before she left the place. She was just turning around when a warm hand wrapped around her wrist and Hao Ren asked, "Aren't you forgetting something?"
Han Lingshi raised her brow as she looked at him. She thought for a few minutes and shook her head when she could not come up with anything.
Hao Ren smiled and remarked, "How forgetful of you. Didn't you say that you will be giving me a kiss when I get home from the hospital?"
Han Lingshi was surprised that Hao Ren bought this up. She was a timid person when it came to showing affection to anyone. However, Hao Ren was not going to let her go, he tugged on her wrist and pulled her close. The force was well calculated, and as Han Lingshi took a step toward him.
He coiled his arm around her waist and smiled as he looked in her eyes. Han Lingshi was blushing, and her heart beat was picking up pace. It wasn't that she did not want to kiss him but more like she did not know how to initiate such things.
Hao Ren moved closer to her, they were so close that they could smell their breaths. Hao Ren did not initiate the contact, because he wanted Han Lingshi to do this on her own. After mustering up the courage and getting drunk of the sensation of the hard body pushing against her, she leaned in and kissed Hao Ren.
The two savored each other slowly and gently, the kiss was filled with passion and devoid of lust. It ended in a few moments, and then Han Lingshi dashed away quickly. She said from the door, "A maid will come over to clean the place and cook for you. Don't move around too much and take your medicine on time. I will check on you."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Yes, but you will need to text or call me thrice a day whenever you are having a meal. You are not allowed to have liquor with male company. I don't want to sound petty but look at you, the entire Hawk Nation might go to war."
Han Lingshi's chuckled echoed in the living room as she left. Hao Ren sat down on the couch calmly for a few minutes as he felt bitter about Han Lingshi's departure but then he recalled the lingering kiss, and smiled as he stood up and decided to get to work. This week he was going to make the entire nation know, that Thunder Technologies was a company they needed to look out for.
