“Impossible!” Mo Shu said coldly. “I’ve already said that this work doesn’t belong to me alone, so 1 have no right to give it to anyone or sell it to anyone.”
Mo Shu wasn’t very tall. He was only 1.7 meters tall, while Shi Xiao was 1.9 meters tall. Therefore, when he looked at Shi Xiao, he had no choice but to raise his head. His aura was no longer as imposing.
Although Shi Xiao looked down on him, he admired this person very much because he had his own principles and was honest.
Although a large part of his honesty was due to his disdain for lying and stealing the fruits of others’ labor, it was also the most important constraint behind all his bold behavior today.
Before Shi Xiao could speak, he suddenly heard someone shout from afar, “Mo Shu!”
It was three to four in the afternoon, so the neighborhood was very quiet and there were very few people walking around. This sound alarmed everyone in the neighborhood. Some people even looked down through the windows.
The three of them were attracted by the voice and looked at the source—a young man with a buzz cut wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, a black computer bag on his back, and black-framed gla.s.ses.
After Mo Shu saw this person’s face clearly, he suddenly ran away like a frightened bird and his speed was comparable to that of a sprinting athlete!
The buzz-cut young man put down his computer bag and shouted at Shi Xiao and Zhao Mian, “Please help me look after my computer!” Then, he chased after Mo Shu without looking back.
He didn’t hold back and ran with all his might. The two of them quickly disappeared, leaving Shi Xiao and Zhao Mian exchanging looks of dismay.
After Shi Xiao and Zhao Mian looked at each other, Zhao Mian said awkwardly, “Young Master, that person seems to be Zhou Liu from our company’s technical department…”
Shi Xiao was speechless.
Therefore, the computing field was a circle. After going around and around, one could always return to the source.
Shi Xiao still had many things to deal with, so it was impossible for him to wait for the two of them to return. He said to Zhao Mian, “Take his computer bag back to the company and send him a message to come and get it himself.” Then, he walked out of the neighborhood.
Zhao Mian waved her hand helplessly. Alright, she had guessed correctly once again.
Zhao Mian walked to his laptop bag, picked it up, and followed behind Shi Xiao. At the same time, she took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Zhou Liu.
[Come to the headquarters at nine o’clock tomorrow morning to get your computer.]
Zhou Liu was supposed to be at work at this time, but ever since he saw the design model sent to him by Li Ran, he couldn’t sit still anymore, especially when he knew that the author was Mo Shu. He couldn’t wait to rush to the event location to confirm if this person was Mo Shu.
Zhou Liu forced himself to sit at his desk and carefully check the coding. However, no matter what he did, he couldn’t focus. He couldn’t help but check his cell phone from time to time and think about what happened two years ago.
Instead of sitting here and thinking about things, he might as well go take a look himself.
Therefore, Zhou Liu didn’t wait for Li Ran to send him a video of the compet.i.tion. He applied for leave from his supervisor. Then, he checked the address of the technology exhibition online. He found the subway too slow, so he took a taxi over.
On the way here, he received a video from Li Ran. The video was more than five minutes long. In the first minute, only Mo Shu’s back could be seen. His face couldn’t be seen at all.
But even though it was just his back view, Zhou Liu could tell at a glance that this person was Mo Shu, especially his messy hair. After two years, he still hadn’t changed.
However, Mo Shu had changed a lot in other areas. In the past, he always liked to wear bright clothes and never liked the color black. Now that he was wearing black, and even his back was a little hunched. In the past, he would raise his head high wherever he went and was very confident.
Zhou Liu watched the video seriously. Mo Shu turned around and spoke to someone else. Although Zhou Liu couldn’t see who was standing in the distance, he could see Mo Shu’s face clearly. It was that same unrestrained and arrogant face. The familiar face hadn’t changed at all even after so many years..
