At 4 am, Wen Zimo quietly got out of bed and tiptoed to the computer desk, where he looked down at Xiao Chen, who had just collapsed from exhaustion after finishing a design draft, and the black phone beside him. Just as he reached out to grab it, he noticed Nuo Er raising her furry face, sleepily looking at him. He immediately made a hushing gesture with a grin. "Good girl, go sleep with your dad," he whispered, afraid of waking Xiao Chen.
Nuo Er blinked curiously with round eyes, perhaps upon hearing the word "dad," obediently returning to Xiao Chen's side. Wen Zimo took the opportunity to quickly grab the phone, then jumped back onto the bed, feeling guilty as he cautiously checked the app while stealing glances in Xiao Chen's direction.
As a good brother who has read countless women, he must help his brother's love life. Wen Zimo silently does some psychological construction for his unethical behavior.
"Tsk... Chenchen really doesn't understand women. Look at the way he chats, completely clueless about romance."
After flipping through just two pages of the chat records, he furrowed his brow. Looking at Xiao Chen, he felt more and more like he was looking at a naive puppy.
Xiao Chen didn't sleep soundly. A sudden chill startled him awake, and his right hand instinctively reached for his phone, only to touch soft fingers instead.
Wen Zimo looked at him with an awkward smile, "Smooth when stealing, but messed up when returning."
"Um...bro, let me explain," he said, but before he could finish, he fell out completely.
"Uncle Wen, what's your phone number?"
Xiao Chen seemed to be talking to himself, but his eyes were glaring fiercely at the still-smiling "good buddy" sitting on the ground.
Wen Zimo quickly apologized, calling out "Brother Xiao" repeatedly, afraid of being kicked again, and begging for forgiveness while hugging Xiao Chen's thigh.
The sound of Wen Zimo's wailing woke up the two Bedlington dogs, and they started howling along. Xiao Chen's face darkened gradually, resembling a blackened pot lid.
Ten minutes later.
"Speak up, why did you take my phone?"
Xiao Chen grandpa sat and looked at Wen Zimo who was kneeling skillfully, with a disdainful look in his eyes.
"It's because I see that it's too hard for you, my brother, to be in an Internet relationship, so I want to help you out." Wen Zimo had a look of 'I'm doing this for your own good', but seeing Xiao Chen's veins popping, he quickly added, "It's my fault for looking at your phone. I was wrong, very wrong. To ask for your forgiveness, I'll tell you a secret about Mumu."
He spoke very quickly, and only then did Xiao Chen look at him, raising an eyebrow. "What secret?"
Xiao Chen being able to speak means he does indeed have a strong affection for the woman named Mumu. For Wen Zimo's current situation, this is a good sign.
"Didn't you notice? When you two were chatting, the backstage showed the distance between you two. That woman Mumu is less than 100 meters away from you, maybe even closer."
Wen Zimo has the skills of a hacker, usually jokes around, but he never lies when it comes to technology.
Xiao Chen paused for a long time, then handed the phone to Wen Zimo.
Wen Zimo's hands were very fast, and in just a few moments, he displayed the backend data in front of Xiao Chen, then pointed to a string of coordinates, "The reason you haven't been receiving her messages is because she uninstalled the software, but for software that requires permission upon login, her personal location is still in the large database and has not been completely deleted. This is the operating method of most companies. They retain user data to better upgrade the software."
"Do you see this string of numbers? The distance between the two of you now... is only about 30 to 50 meters, which means she is in this building."
Wen Zimo eagerly waited for Xiao Chen to praise himself, but after hearing his perfect analysis, Xiao Chen furrowed his attractive brows and flatly denied it.
"No, Mumu is just an ordinary white-collar worker. She can't afford to live in Wufu Hua City. She just started working less than a month ago, with a monthly salary of less than five thousand. How could she possibly come up with so much money to buy here in such a short time?"
"Can't afford it, huh," Wen Zimo rubbed his chin. "Then there's only one possibility left."
He looked at Xiao Chen with a teasing expression mixed with a very unsympathetic sympathy. "That person called Mumu must have lied about her age. Data doesn't lie. Besides those who have family wealth, the only other possibility in our building is a celebrity. But she's just a salaried worker. I bet she's the janitorial lady in our building."
Wen Zimo became more and more certain as he spoke, and he keenly noticed a change in the location data on his phone. He chuckled, "See, what did I say? At this hour, who else besides the janitorial staff would be up and about? Oh my goodness! This person is getting closer to you, less than 6 meters away, right at the door!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
Lin Muyan waited outside room 3301, with a white kitten in her arms, still rubbing its sleepy eyes. The door was pushed open from the inside, and a middle-aged woman who looked like she hadn't rested well poked her head out. Her tired face lit up with joy at the sight of the kitten in Lin Muyan's arms. "Nanny! Honey, come quick, Nanny's back."
After calling out to the person behind her, she looked at Lin Muyan with a very apologetic expression. "I'm really sorry to trouble you. We've been looking for our child all day and were about to give up. We didn't expect you to take pity on us and help us bring her back so late."
Lin Muyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, please don't be polite. We live in the same building, so it's just a small favor. I happened to come across her. The child might have been scared and was hiding in the bushes. Luckily, there was a tag on her neck, or else I would have been worried about how to find the owner."
She had just returned from the company after staying up most of the night, and as soon as she came in, she was pestered by this little creature who had fainted from hunger.
Lin Muyan is extremely afraid of dogs, but she is not a heartless person. Faced with those soft, innocent round eyes, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. The couple in Room 3301 invited her in, but Lin Muyan glanced at the time, smiled, and waved her hand, "It's really just a small favor, it's okay. Speaking of which, it's also fate that brought me and this little guy together. It's getting late, I won't delay your rest. I'll head back now. See you later, little guy." Stepping into the elevator, Lin Muyan waved again to the couple and pressed the round button to go downstairs.
When the elevator doors were about to close, it seemed like a dark figure rushed over, startling the exhausted Lin Muyan. Thankfully, the elevator made a "ding" sound and started to descend, causing her to steady herself.
"It's not safe to come back late. Even in such a well-guarded place, there are still lunatics around."
She thought to herself, single-mindedly wanting to hurry home. Before the elevator doors fully opened on the 32nd floor, she quickly ran out, with such force that she almost collided with the janitorial cart left on the side.
Xiao Chen rushed out and saw someone had already entered the elevator. Without even getting a chance to see who it was, he witnessed the elevator going down. Despite this, he decisively made the judgment to catch up without a second of hesitation.
To be honest, he didn't want to believe that Mumu was a woman who enjoyed playing games in the human world. He hoped to give her a chance, an opportunity to explain why she deleted the software and refused to even say goodbye.
Wen Zimo followed Xiao Chen and peeked out from the doorway. He didn't even see the person, only his brother running towards the safe passage in a hurried manner, a stark contrast to the usual demeanor of Designer Xiao.
Sigh, I really got myself into this.
He turned around and met the puzzled looks of the two innocent yet disturbed dogs in the room, and couldn't help but smirk in resignation and schadenfreude.
32nd floor, silent and still.
Xiao Chen pushed open the door of safe passage and walked out to see a hunched figure slowly sweeping on the dark red carpet.
He took out his phone, looked at the very close location data, and his emotions became extremely complicated for a moment.
Could it be that Wen Zimo really guessed it right?
Xiao Chen looked at the back in frustration and tentatively squeezed out, "Are you... Mumu?" The stooped figure was startled by the voice, turned around, and revealed a kind face, "Is there anything I can help with?" Janitorial Aunt smiled at him, Xiao Chen stuck in his throat, instantly wishing he hadn't said anything just now.
"Auntie, what's your name? You seem knowledgeable and refined, could it be Lin?"
A playful voice came from behind him, as Wen Zimo hooked his shoulder and asked innocently.
"Me?" Auntie was taken aback, then smiled, "You really know how to make people happy. My name is Liu Cuihua. What can I do for you, young man?"
When Liu Cuihua spoke, Wen Zimo's face turned red and he quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, Auntie, you're busy." He suppressed a smile and looked at Xiao Chen beside him, but was immediately deterred by the latter's cold expression. Oh no, he stepped on the accelerator.
With a stern face, he went upstairs and slammed the door before Wen Zimo returned.
"Hey... I was just kidding, who would have thought you'd take it seriously! Hey Xiao Chen! Designer Xiao, you can't be so heartless, it's still early in the morning! Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen..."
Lin Muyan still didn't know that she was just one step away from being discovered as Mumu. At this moment, she was scrutinizing the company's remaining three anchors.
Currently, Peak Entertainment has achieved a significant victory through the May Fourth Movement, but other data still lags far behind. According to Lin Muyan's plan, the company's performance needs to improve by twenty percent within three months, but it's clear that this goal is still out of reach.
"I've already watched your live broadcasts. The style is too conventional and lacks distinctiveness. Your weaknesses are obvious, namely that your anchors' positioning is not comprehensive enough. It's necessary to re-plan," she said, closing the personal profiles of the anchors that Assistant Shen had brought and expressing her thoughts in detail.
Most anchors tend to follow a fixed path once they have a loyal fan base. The three anchors in Lin Muyan's hands gained fame as attractive anchors, but now the anchor population is too broad, and the previous appeal of attractive anchors is no longer as strong as before.
Lin Muyan It's clear from the looks of several people that they are not happy. For those who are used to fixed forms, sudden changes feel like forcing them out of their comfort zone, which is quite repulsive. She can understand, but does not agree. "This is the game 'Zhengye' taken over by May Fourth Movement for endorsement. As a member of the company, this can be considered a small benefit I'm giving to you all."
