Chapter 74 Oh, isn't this Chen Mo's younger brother?
Chen Mo naturally thought of Minister Huang, but this was just his guess, without any evidence.
If he goes directly to the other party now, there's no way he'll admit it.
That's also the most foolish thing to do.
Furthermore, although Minister Huang holds the title of project team leader, he has never touched the project's data from beginning to end, so there must be other people in the team who are his people.
Who could it be?
Therefore, everything needs to remain still.
In the afternoon, Chen Mo took his documents and set off to find clients.
He started by discussing the quality and advantages of his own product with the other party, including directly pointing out the potential bugs in the other party's APP.
And the other party's attitude was much better this time than last time.
It was obvious that they knew about what he had mentioned in the meeting that morning, and they began to have some doubts about the pirated software he had obtained.
At the same time, Chen Mo also exchanged views with the other party on legal matters.
My company will definitely sue this software company for plagiarism. If they win, the app will be illegal and will be banned in the future.
In that case, the client will suffer a greater loss than gain!
With Chen Mo's two-pronged approach and his convincing words, the client hesitated and said he needed to think about it.
Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry; he was waiting for the mole to come out anyway.
At least he succeeded in stabilizing the client with this step, which is half the battle. The rest is just psychological warfare.
It was already getting dark when we left the client's company.
Chen Mo stood by the roadside, took out his phone, and called Shen Qingyue, saying, "Sister Qingyue, I've finished talking with the client."
"How is it?"
Shen Qingyue's voice carried a hint of urgency.
"The situation has stabilized for now."
Chen Mo briefly recounted the content of the conversation.
"I explained the advantages of our product and the potential risks of the other party's app, and the client's attitude softened significantly, saying that they needed time to consider it."
"Yes, well done."
Shen Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone became much more relaxed.
"However, this is only the first step. Next, we'll have to see if the mole will take the bait."
"I know."
Chen Mo said, "I have already encrypted and saved the complete code and design documents. I'm just waiting for the fish to bite."
"Okay, now go home and rest. Be careful on the way."
"Um."
Just as Chen Mo was about to call a taxi home after hanging up the phone, his phone rang again.
This time it was Su Xiao who called.
"Hello, Chen Mo?"
Su Xiao's voice came through the receiver, tinged with excitement.
Are you busy? Do you have some free time?
"Just finished."
Chen Mo asked, "What's wrong?"
"I received my royalties from last month's writing, and I'd like to treat you to a meal to celebrate."
Su Xiao said with a smile, "If it weren't for the materials you provided, my book wouldn't be so popular, so you have to come to this meal."
Chen Mo thought about it and, since he didn't have anything else to do that night, agreed.
"Okay, you choose the location."
"Then how about that open-air restaurant on Nanshan Mountain? You know it? It has a great view, and you can see the night view too."
Su Xiao said, "I've already made a reservation. See you at 7:30."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo checked the time; it was already past six o'clock.
He hailed a taxi and headed directly towards Nanshan.
There was some traffic on the way, and it was already 7:20 when we arrived at the restaurant.
Su Xiao had already arrived and was sitting by the railing, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the night view.
She wore a white dress today, her long hair flowing down her shoulders and swaying gently in the evening breeze. Her profile looked exceptionally soft under the lamplight.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Chen Mo walked over and sat down opposite her.
"No, I just arrived too."
Su Xiao turned her head, saw Chen Mo, and smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking very beautiful.
Have you ordered yet?
Chen Mo asked.
"We've ordered all of their signature dishes. See if you'd like to add anything else."
Su Xiao pushed the menu over.
Chen Mo glanced at the menu and saw that they had already ordered four or five dishes, which was enough for them.
"No need, this is fine."
"Alright then."
Su Xiao called over the waiter, indicating that the food could be served.
While waiting for their food, the two chatted casually.
"You just said the royalties have been paid."
Chen Mo casually asked, "How much?"
"170,000."
Su Xiao said it quite naturally.
"So many?"
Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.
He knew that writing novels could make money, but he didn't expect Su Xiao to earn so much in the first month after her book was published.
"It's alright, thanks to you."
Su Xiao said earnestly, "The workplace materials and character settings you provided have received a very good response from readers, and subscriptions have increased a lot."
"That's because you wrote it well."
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I just said a few words casually; it's mainly thanks to you."
"No matter what, you've helped me a lot."
As Su Xiao spoke, she took out her phone and transferred 5 yuan to Chen Mo's WeChat account.
"Here's 50,000, as payment for the materials you provided."
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"No need, I was just saying it casually. I wasn't of any help, so I can't accept this money."
"Just accept it."
Su Xiao insisted, "If it weren't for you, I would have been stuck on this book for ages. You deserve this money."
"Really, you don't need to."
Chen Mo clicked back and said with a smile, "If you really want to thank me, just give me a gift next time we meet. Forget about the money."
"..."
Su Xiao looked at him and saw that his attitude was firm. She knew that there was no use in saying anything more, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Okay then, I'll pick out a gift for you next time."
"OK."
Chen Mo smiled.
Just then, the dishes arrived.
The two chatted and ate in a relaxed atmosphere.
Su Xiao told Chen Mo a lot about writing the book, including readers' comments, editors' suggestions, and her upcoming writing plans.
Chen Mo listened with great interest.
After all, I'm also secretly writing a book now, and these are all experiences from platinum-level authors, so learning as much as I can is always beneficial.
Furthermore, he found that chatting with Su Xiao was very comfortable; he didn't need to think too much or deliberately find topics, and the conversation would naturally continue.
Just after the two finished discussing literary content, Chen Mo suddenly received a system reward.
It turns out that the previous task was completed unintentionally.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission: A Courageous Literary Encounter]
[Rewards: Appearance +1, Literary Cultivation +3, Courage +500]
[Current Attribute Update]
Charm: 86 (The host's appearance has reached its limit, converted into charm points)
Literature: 83 (Good)
System Level: LV1 (9500/10000)
……
Chen Mo looked at his system upgrade and realized he was almost at ten thousand courage points!
This also means that attribute points that have already reached the upper limit of the first-level system value can be increased rapidly again.
The two finished their meal, and it was already past eight o'clock.
Night had completely fallen, and all the lights on the opposite bank of the river were lit up, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Su Xiao leaned back against the railing, gazing at the distant river view, and exclaimed, "The night view here is truly beautiful."
"yes."
Chen Mo also came over and stood next to her.
The evening breeze blowing from the mountain brought a touch of coolness.
Su Xiao's long hair was blown by the wind, and a few strands brushed against Chen Mo's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.
"Chen Mo, can you take some photos for me?"
Su Xiao suddenly said, handing him her phone and smiling, "I always want to take pictures when I come here, but I can never take a good selfie."
"OK."
Chen Mo took the phone and opened the camera.
Su Xiao walked to the railing, turned her back to the river view, and struck a pose.
Chen Mo adjusted the angle and pressed the shutter.
"How is it? Let me see."
Su Xiao ran over, moved closer to Chen Mo, and looked at the phone screen.
In the photo, she stands in the night, with the dazzling night view of Wuhan behind her, her smile radiant and her eyes bright.
Wow, that's a really good shot.
Su Xiao said with delight, "Chen Mo, your photography skills are pretty good!"
"It's alright."
Chen Mo smiled and handed the phone back to her.
"It's mainly because you're good-looking; you look good no matter how you're photographed."
"You're really good with words."
Su Xiao blushed, gave him a reproachful look, but felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
She asked Chen Mo to take a few more pictures, and she was very satisfied with each one.
"Next time I go on a trip, I'll definitely take you with me."
Looking at the photos, Su Xiao said happily, "Now I don't have to worry about not being able to take good photos."
"Sure, whenever I'm free."
Chen Mo casually agreed.
As the two were talking, a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Hey, isn't this Chen Mo's younger brother?"
