Chapter 286 - Poach
"One more thing." Jiang Yue asked Long Die, just before she could open the door.
"What is it?"
"I wonder if you are familiar with a person named Blake Lee?"
Long Die instantly shook her head, "No I am not. May I know why?"
"I just thought that your methods were somewhat similar with his."
"Is he... Is he someone close to you?" Long Die asked.
"He is my mentor," Jiang Yue answered directly.. Blake Lee had a different name in the black market so only people close to him would recognize his name.
Surprise quickly flashed in Long Die's eyes, too quick for even Jiang Yue to notice.
"Oh..." Long Die said before shrugging. "Well, this is the first time that I heard his name."
"Okay, you can go. Don't forget to ask my secretary about your schedule tomorrow. You will be working directly under my team."
"Thank you." Long Die smiled before walking out of the office. Seeing Jiang Yue up close, was making her use all of her self control, just to prevent herself from embracing her daughter. She had missed her so much, she was not able to stop her tears, watching her a while ago.
Long Die could only shake her head, as she realized that no matter how professional she was in disguise, she couldn't hold her emotions towards her daughter. After all, she was a mother, someone, who was not able to see and help Jiang Yue for already six years.
She wondered what did Jiang Yue felt, as she faced all those things in the past six years alone. Did she ever missed her mother? Did she call for her name? Did she remember her even once?
With these in mind, Wang Ruo let out a sigh before she went towards Shen Rong's desk.
Tomorrow, she would start working with Jiang Yue and she was so excited about it.
Long Die or Wang Ruo decided to get closer to her daughter after she got to know that Li Qiang had visited Jiang Yue's office two weeks ago. For Long Die, it was the ultimate way for her to protect Jiang Yue from the shadows. She couldn't just watch her from afar anymore, she needed to be near her, monitor her every move, and be with her.
After Long Die left, Jiang Yue was still smiling to herself. She really could not understand why that woman made her somehow happy. 'It must be her quirky and shy ways,' she thought.
Jiang Yue was still unaware that the woman, who she had just talked to was her mother. However, her heart was still able to recognize the bond that she had with Wang Ruo.
Because of this, her good mood continued until the day ended. Then another news shocked the tech industry.
The Angler Company just announced that they would also start dabbling in AI technology. In fact, they were planning to create a proposal to improve the military security of some countries. They were also opened for collaborations and sponsorships. Aside from this, they announced that they would welcome any tech genius from other companies and double their salary.
This news instantly earned shocked gasps from everyone in the tech industry. At first, no one believed them, after all, Wang Empire had already defeated this company the moment they accepted personalized orders of their Devouring Virus.
However, Angler released some proofs that they were indeed serious in their endeavor. They were clearly telling everyone that they planned to come back and rule the IT industry with this project.
However, Jiang Yue was not surprised about this move. She had already expected this the moment she saw the hatred in the eyes of their head researcher, as she marched outside of Jiang Yue's office. Moreover, Jiang Yue was also curious about this project they were talking about. Could it be something that could rival her and Long Die's module?
That's right, because of Long Die's algorithm's Jiang Yue was able to solve a very important part of her own algorithm. It was as if the woman was sent by the gods to help her. Jiang Yue smiled once again at the thought of that woman.
"Why are you smiling on your own? Care to share?" she heard Fu Jin's voice as he took a seat next to her.
"I met a very strange and funny woman today, and I decided to hire her on the spot," she answered.
"Really? Why don't you tell me more about her?"
....
Meanwhile, Qin Fen-the head researcher of Angler, was busy trying to contact Jiang Yue's employees. She was doing her best to poach them, offering them better conditions, than what Wang Empire gave them. She was also trying to, at least, buy one of them to become her spy and obtain some information about Jiang Yue's projects.
"Still no luck?" she heard a voice ask behind her.
In response, she shook her head and turned towards the young man, who owned the voice. It was her boyfriend, and the CEO of Angler, Quan Lei and as expected, he was still as handsome as ever with his kind smile.
"Don't worry, someone is bound to accept our offer," he smiled at her, making Qin Fen nod, like the lovesick puppy that she really was.
