Chapter 66: Chapter 66 : The Selected Company Representative

Xiulan was busy setting up Mystery Magic again after she finished the finalization for the system of a shipping company.

She realized that Mystery Magic's popularity in the computer science forums wer rather incredible and she couldn't believe it. She will make use of Mystery Magic to solve the scarcity of female programmers in her company and overall in this country.

Right now, she was in the middle of making a fake video call of her and mystery magic to convince everyone that she really had a real transaction with a real person.

If she didn't became a programmer, she might be in the graphics industry. But fortunately, she went to the route that she loves the most.

"Hey."

Xiulan was suddenly startled when the door in her office opened and a deep baritone voice surrounded the whole room. She quickly glanced at the source of the sound and she doesn't anymore if she should be surprised or not. It was only 4pm, they were only apart for four hours.

She quickly put her laptop to sleep mode in case Hongqi peeks at it.

"What are you doing here?" Xiulan stand up to greet Hongqi and gestured him to sit on the sofa. Secretary Yang Bo was also there so she greeted him with a smile and also kindly told him to sit.

"I am here to discuss your company representative woes." He beamed at her and kissed her lips before he sat on the sofa, same with Secretary Yang Bo.

Secretary Yang Bo still can't believe the awkward greeting between these two a few months ago has now become too intimate and too PDA. He still can't get himself used to this.

"So hasty... You didn't need to work on it that fast." Xiulan remarked and sat beside him.

"Hehe~ of course I don't want my dear wife to be stressed regarding this matter. I only want you to think of me." Hongqi endearingly said and even pinched Xiulan's cute nose.

Xiulan quickly brushed off his hands since she felt shy by his words. She wanted to hide her reaction a little and the look that Secretary Yang Bo gave to them made her sheepish.

Secretary Yang Bo felt like the young master was going further away from his original character and behavior. He may be a womanizer but he was not the flirty type that would say sweet nothings.

He had been serving him for a decade and so. He had seen all the women he got involved with ever since the young master took the CEO position of the Xing family business.

He heard before that the young master was so in love with a certain woman but they broke up because the woman was selfish. Ever since then, the young master became sleazy when it comes to relationships.

He was not flirty and he always have that business face. He would let the woman do all the seducing part. He didn't have to seduce them since he was a natural. He was handsome and according to women, his body was really sexy and hot. So automatically, he didn't even need to raise a finger to get a woman.

Seeing him so happy and flirty with the madame felt like he had seen an entire different person.

"You flatter too much." Xiulan blushed. She doesn't know how to counter attack his words especially if someone is also in the same room. She can shout and nag at him in the bedroom since it's only the two of them, but if there's another person in the room, she becomes shy to even utter a word.

"Hmm..." Hongqi still has that beaming expression and his mouth curled to an evil grin. He quickly held her hand and kissed it like it was the most natural thing to do at that situation.

Xiulan tried to pull her hand away from him but his grip was too strong. Hongqi was feeling naughty and adorable today so he pulled her and kissed her lips even though Secretary Yang Bo was there, watching their unwanted PDA.

Xiulan panicked and tried to pull away from him. She kept hitting his chest but he wouldn't let go.

"Damn couple. The young master would never PDA yet he's here flaunting his relationship with the madame." Secretary Yang Bo secretly complained. He looked away from them and waited for the couple to finish their lovey-dovey moment.

"You! Stop it when someone else is here!" Xiulan can't help but shout at him once she got some space in between them. She doesn't care anymore if Secretary Yang Bo is there to watch her cursing his master.

"So it's okay when it's only the two of us?" Hongqi tried to act innocent. This made Xiulan even madder.

Xiulan felt like a large population of her brain cells were dying because of Hongqi. "Ugh!"

She tried to stand up and scoot far away from him but he quickly held her waist. "I will stop now, okay. Let's start with the discussion. Yang Bo, please kickoff with the contract and the files."

Secretary Yang Bo opened his sleek, black brief case and handed a document to Xiulan that has all the data of the actress they selected. Then he laid the contract on the table so Xiulan could see it as well.

"Gu Chenguang?" Xiulan read the name on the profile. She was not familiar of the girl. She's not familiar not because the girl is unpopular but she's not really good in celebrity names. She only became aware of them because she married a showbiz company CEO.

"Gu Chenguang was still only an B-list actress five months ago. But due to her popular sports drama series that was aired a year ago, she garnered a lot of movie projects and modelling gigs. She also has a huge following count in Weibo which is quite incredible for someone who's only in the showbiz industry for three years. She has good reputation and no scandals. On top of it all, she also graduated on your Alma matter, madame. We should have picked someone from the very top but since she knew about your legendary contributions in the university and very much respected you, we thought that she was perfect to work in your company." Secretary Yang Bo dutifully explained and handed Xiulan an album of Gu Chenguang's modelling and advertising gigs.

Gu Chenguang has a very small face with very big clear eyes yet it becomes somewhat sharp when she's modelling. Her lips were kind of pouty and she has that androgynous visuals but still more on the feminine side.

"She's perfect." Xiulan uttered her praise. Her eyes shines as she looks at her photos.

The two men were startled by her sudden worship of Gu Chenguang. They were both relieved that she likes their selected company representative.

Actually, she really liked it that they selected someone who's in the androgynous visuals and also graduated from the same university. This was a good opportunity to use. She'll be visiting her alma mater soon to talk about computer science and technology on its annual alumnus festival.

Successful alumni and alumnae were invited to have a talk and give inspiring lessons or words to the students. This will be Xiulan's fourth year to talk to the students.

"Gu Chenguang really admires you. Though she graduated in the arts field, she still knew about your legendary contributions. Especially now that you are considered to be a national heroine, her adoration for you has reached the fan level." Hongqi teased and he held her tightly. He snuggles her and points at the photo that Xiulan's currently viewing.

"She has a lot of androgynous photo shoots because of her visuals. As I heard, it is very rare in the computer science community to have a very feminine comrade. Usually they are very tomboyish or they are not into cosmetics. We selected her so you can use her for both feminine and boyish visuals. Since there's a scarcity in female programmers, there's also a scarcity in beautiful female programmers. I'm not shaming here but that's what I heard. But you are an exception, my dear. You are even far more beautiful than a cosmetics model." Hongqi has that apologetic face then it turned flirty again.

Xiulan only scowled at him for a second before she continues browsing the album. Though he said something rude but it was the truth.

In the computer science and technology community, it is very rare to see a beautiful female programmers. Since the work is so hectic and time consuming, the girls usually don't doll up or even bother take care of their skin.

In her company, out of 20 female programmers, there was only one that the staff considers a great beauty. That employee was very passionate in programming even though she was offered to be a model before. She gladly chose this path and still remained as the beauty of the technology department.

In universities, the chance there's a beautiful IT or CS student, 50% that she will continue the nerdy path or she would rather go use her beauty as a source of income.

Back in Xiulan's university days, she had a lot of beautiful classmates in their department but a lot left because they either chose to easier path of using their face instead of brains. They were smart but they weren't really passionate about using their skills in programming as a source of income.

Those who doesn't have the visuals to use as a source of income would rather choose another course or career. Only few remained and passionate to continue the rocky and time consuming career as an IT/CS programmer.
