Chapter 42: The Great God Phoenix Tian!

 Chapter 42: The Great God Phoenix Tian!

The night was deep and silent in the estate, except for the chorus of frogs in the distance.

A young girl lay alone in her room, unable to sleep as scenes from the hot spring earlier kept replaying uncontrollably in her mind.

Restless, she sat up, picked up her phone, and connected to the internet. She browsed the international tech website, propped her phone against the bed, and the faint glow illuminated her face. She absentmindedly accepted tasks and scrolled to pass the time and chase away her sleepiness.

Meanwhile, the owner of the villa couldn't sleep either. He rubbed his neatly knuckled fingers through his hair, made a phone call, and headed to his study. The CEO had summoned the top executives of the company for an overnight meeting.

The online conference continued without interruption, and the executives chatted while working.

Mr. Five, on one hand, listened to the online reports and, on the other, separately engaged in a video call with Xie Guangyao and Yang Bo.

Xie Guangyao yawned and complained, "Mr. Five, even your friend is in such a pitiful state. Look at your company's workaholics... pulling an all-nighter!"

Mr. Five wore a dissatisfied expression and said, "The company is facing difficulties. Should we let them be incapable of finding a solution and not work overtime?"

Seeing Mr. Five's reaction, Xie Guangyao, with his arm in a cast, looked at him meaningfully and said, "Mr. Five, it seems like you're feeling unsatisfied."

Surprisingly, Mr. Five didn't argue back this time.

Xie Guangyao continued, "I don't have much interest in your company's affairs, but I'm very interested in your current state. What's wrong? Your hand injured? Your desires unfulfilled? Which girl has such a big influence on you?"

Mr. Five cast a cold and icy look at the camera, and Xie Guangyao immediately stopped teasing.

Indeed, Mr. Five was strong and ruthless, and Xie Guangyao didn't want to provoke him further.

Xie Guangyao added, "This difficulty you're facing isn't small. I've looked into it and asked a few friends, but I can't help you. The technical challenges are too immense."

Yang Bo chimed in, "Xie, if we can't overcome this difficulty, it's not just about not making money; the project itself might lose several billion."

Xie Guangyao whistled and gloated, "Mr. Five is going to take a loss this time!"

Mr. Five turned to Yang Bo and asked, "You mentioned a tech engineer on the international tech website last time. How is she now?"

Yang Bo replied, "Well, Mr. Five, I mentioned that tech guru before. She recently logged in once on the international tech website, but she was online for only half an hour. During that half-hour, though, she completed six tasks."

Yang Bo pushed up his glasses, and the reflection on his lenses flashed white. "Six tasks in half an hour, breaking the record for task completion speed on the tech website. It caused a sensation, and many tech gurus are following her activity. However, after that one login, she hasn't been online for several days."

Xie Guangyao was intrigued. "Oh, there's such a person? Which deity is this, so impressive?"

Yang Bo checked his WeChat and several profile pictures popped up. Initially, he didn't intend to look, but as more and more messages came in, he took a peek at his WeChat.

"She's online?" Yang Bo was shocked. He checked the time; it was 2 AM.

Online at this hour? Could he have misjudged, and she's not from China?

"What's going on? Online?" Mr. Five asked.

"Mr. Five, hold on a moment. I'm logging into the international tech website." Yang Bo logged in and switched the video feed, adding another video box to the conversation. It displayed his computer screen.

Yang Bo followed the tech guru "HUANGTIAN," which appeared in front of everyone.

"Huangtian," spelled in Pinyin, was what appeared on the international website.

Yang Bo refreshed the webpage, and soon, Huangtian took on another task. After about five minutes, she uploaded the task and clicked to submit it. Quickly, the task on the other side was confirmed, marked as completed, and the commission was released.

Yang Bo, facing the camera, couldn't contain his excitement and admiration. He said eagerly, "Mr. Five, Mr. Xie, look how amazing my idol is!"

He praised Huangtian to Mr. Five and Xie Guangyao. However, he didn't mention that Huangtian was his true idol!

A year ago, the great deity Huangtian dominated the tech website, becoming a legend overnight. She held a consistent place on the leaderboard and never encountered a task she couldn't complete.

Then one day, Huangtian suddenly disappeared, and the tech website returned to normal. Other website gurus speculated about her next move.

Unexpectedly, she remained silent for a whole year.

So, when he suggested contacting Huangtian, he wasn't sure if it would work and didn't have much hope.

But now, Huangtian was online and accepting tasks. Her speed and skills were as impressive as ever!

The idol!

She truly was the idol he held in his heart!!

Xie Guangyao chuckled, "Yang Bo, are you daydreaming?"

"Cough, cough," Yang Bo cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses. "Huangtian has reappeared after a long time. Let's communicate with her, but don't expect her to respond. Be mentally prepared."

Xie Guangyao raised an eyebrow. "You're the special assistant to the CEO of the Rongshi Group. Why lower yourself like this?"

"Mr. Xie, she's a tech genius. Don't judge her with your usual standards!"

Xie Guangyao clicked his tongue twice. "Impressive, Yang Bo has gone astray."

Yang Bo coughed awkwardly again.

He opened Huangtian's chatbox, but before he could hide it, previous messages appeared.

Yang: Master, I really admire you. Can you give me your contact information? I can be your apprentice!!!

Xie Guangyao said, "..."

Mr. Five said, "..."

Yang Bo stammered, "Ahem, don't read that!"

Xie Guangyao burst into laughter suddenly; he couldn't help himself. "Yang Bo, I never knew this side of you! Haha! That's why you said the master won't pay attention to you. She never responded to you before, huh?"

Yang Bo, a grown man, blushed slightly.

"The master just doesn't like to talk," Yang Bo explained. "Besides work, she never chats with anyone."

So, it wasn't his fault.

Yang Bo pushed up his glasses again.

Xie Guangyao was very interested. "Then quickly discuss business with her."

Yang Bo stared at his computer screen, feeling a bit nervous.

He began typing one

 message after another.

Yang: Master, I have a challenging case here and need your assistance.

Yang: The commission is not a problem; our boss is very wealthy.

Xie Guangyao watched and said, "Mr. Five, test her abilities with the G case."

Mr. Five replied, "Alright."

Yang Bo thought, "Mr. Five doesn't understand Huangtian, so he used a case that the company had already completed to test her. When my idol completes it, he'll be amazed!"

Then, he sent the company's G case to her.

Huangtian responded, "What case is it?"

This surprised Yang Bo.

She replied!

Yang Bo's mouth was almost wide enough to swallow an egg.

This was the closest he had ever been to his idol in his life!

Mr. Five said, "Give her the G case and see how she handles it."

Yang Bo concealed his racing heart and his star-struck emotions. He replied, "Alright."

Yang Bo thought, "Mr. Five doesn't understand Huangtian, so he used a case that the company had already completed to test her. When my idol completes it, he'll be amazed!"

Then, he sent the company's G case to her.

Huangtian responded, "What case is it?"

Yang: It's not a difficult case. How much is the commission?

Huangtian: I don't have a computer right now; I'm using a phone.

Seeing this, Xie Guangyao said, "She doesn't have a computer? Well, the G case isn't easy, so giving her some extra time is reasonable. Mr. Five, how long did your company take to complete the G case?"

Mr. Five replied, "Two months."

Yang Bo thought for a moment and said, "The company took two months, but I think my idol should be able to finish it in three to five days."
