Chapter 637: 405

"What? You’ve decided to stay?"

Tang Yun looked at her daughter with surprise and delight as she was cooking.

"Are you serious?"

"Could it be fake? I’ve already signed the contract... Sigh! Now that I think about it, it was a bit impulsive..."

"Impulsiveness is good! How can young people not be impulsive!" Tang Yun was overjoyed.

She really hadn’t expected that, despite her earnest persuasion, she couldn’t convince her daughter to stay, and just after half a day’s visit to the company, they had managed to change her mind.

What in the world was so charming about this company?

No matter what, she felt this round of "corporate espionage" was well worth it!

"Didn’t you always say that you had better prospects abroad? Why the sudden change of heart, no regrets?"

Tang Xiaoqi spread her hands.

"It’s not that I look down on domestic companies, but as of now, the domestic software industry is basically living off open-source code from abroad, that’s a fact.

Those big companies may seem impressive, but actually, they lack self-awareness. The reason they can thrive is simply because the domestic and international internet is cut off, eliminating competition.

Rather than joining companies like Baidu that are involved in things like food delivery, I’d prefer to give myself a higher starting point.

Artificial Intelligence is the future of humanity!

But today, I realized that aside from those BAT companies, there are others that are seriously developing software."

"Like Baiyeji?" Tang Yun asked with a smile.

"Yes! This company definitely has a powerful, ambitious, and interesting owner behind it!"

Tang Xiaoqi couldn’t help but look forward to her upcoming career when she remembered the quirky questions from those "psychological tests."

"Oh? Then you’d better start currying favor with me from now on," Tang Yun said with a mischievous smile.

"Curry favor with you? Why?" Tang Xiaoqi was a little puzzled.

"Hehe! Because your boss is also my boss. Maybe in the future, I’ll have a say in your KPIs..."

"What?" Tang Xiaoqi was stunned, but quickly caught on.

"You mean... this Baiyeji..."

"That’s right, Chairman Gao of Changqing Biological is the controlling shareholder of Baiyeji, hehe!"

"No way? So for a promotion or a raise, I’ll have to rely on your kind words?" Tang Xiaoqi said with an exaggerated expression.

"Mom, you plan to be the boss at home and at the company over me too?"

"Have you ever seen a leader who serves you three meals a day, does the laundry, and cooks, making sure you’re comfortable?"

Tang Yun couldn’t help but laugh as she shook the spatula in her hand.

"Hmm! You make a good point. In that case, shouldn’t we add two more dishes today?" Tang Xiaoqi chuckled.

"Sure! I’m happy today, so I’ll make two more dishes! And let’s open a bottle of red wine! Oh, and call Xiao Wan over too."

"What?"

"What are you ’what-ing’ for? Professor Zheng has entrusted his son to me; I can’t just ignore him, can I?"

"I see you still have your old tricks up your sleeve! I won’t make the call; you do it if you want to."

"You see my hands are all oily, how can I make the call? If you don’t, do you still want your company bonuses?"

"You... you’re mixing business with personal interest!"

"You know it, so better hurry and call." Tang Yun smiled and went back to her cooking.

Tang Xiaoqi pouted but picked up the phone anyway...

...

The boxing gym, Liang Shanbo.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

On the boxing ring, Xiang Wenlong from Shaolin was exchanging blows with another expert practicing the Tiger Crane Double Form.

Meanwhile, two guys with bruised noses and swollen faces were sitting in the rest area, looking quite unfamiliar.

"What’s going on here?" Meng Lang asked with a perplexed face.

"Oh! There have been quite a few challengers these past few days. Xiao Meng, you said it was troublesome, so we were to filter out the strong ones before shaking people up.

So, Brother Biao had me organize a ring fight."

Ah Xing said, pulling a sign next to him proudly and pointing at the challenge route map on it.

"See! They have to get through five challenges first, defeating five fighters sent out by our gym. Then they need to defeat six contestants who’ve passed the previous five challenges, and finally, our gym’s defender will come out...

In short, they have to defeat all the unbeatable fighters at Liang Mountain, and then Master Yan will take action!

Originally, I was supposed to be the last to fight on the stage, but Xiang Wenlong suddenly turned up a few days ago, insisting on seeing you.

We thought he hadn’t given up and still wanted to cause trouble, so of course, we refused.

But he didn’t give up and came over every day to wait for you.

When he saw the ring fight we were hosting, I don’t know what got into him; he said he wanted to go up and test the challengers for us."

As Ah Xing spoke, he scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"I’m not quite his match in terms of skill. I fought with him again and lost, so I had to let him have the chance to fight on stage.

That guy seemed to have been provoked by something, always muttering about ’regaining confidence’ or something. Most of the challengers these days were beaten by him once."

"Uh..."

Meng Lang touched his nose awkwardly.

His own move seemed to come with a side of psychological attack; maybe he should use it cautiously from now on...

"Anyway, I’m actually more curious about why he’s here..."

Meng Lang pointed to a distant area where a young man was practicing punches, drenched in sweat and deeply focused on a punching bag.

Ah Xing glanced over there.

"Oh! You mean Zheng Wan? He’d left after visiting the gym that day but then came back for some reason, insisting on learning boxing with us.
