Becoming a Confidence Coach to an Arrogant Director - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Do Something to Commemorate

On the way back, the Encourager Yuan suddenly remembered the simpleton’s upcoming interview at Zhongxun Group.

“Is Sister really planning to let Brother Da Bing go to Zhongxun?”

Director Gu saw the little core machine Yuan, who was focused on driving, suddenly ask a question and looked at her curiously.

“I mean, if Brother Da Bing goes to Zhongxun, maybe I can help him.”

Director Gu only withdrew her gaze and continued to rest with her eyes closed in the passenger seat after she was sure that her little darling wasn’t saying that she was doing something wrong.

The Encourager Yuan also thought she was being disliked and quickly found evidence to prove her strength.

“I forgot to tell you earlier, Sister, but I’m a P8+ programmer at Zhongxun Group. I’m very, very good!”

This surprised her Director Gu, but soon, she felt that it wasn’t a big deal. Her Yi Yi was so strong, so what was so strange about her being a senior programmer at Zhongxun? It was just that this person, why didn’t she tell her earlier and make her look like a fool in front of her?

The Encourager Yuan sensed the light that flashed in the other person’s eyes and felt that this was a good opportunity to make her Director Gu admire her. Her electronic voice became even more excited.

“I’m the only girl on our project team. I’m Sister Shan on our team, and they all have to listen to me!”

“They listen to me on a technical level too, but I don’t manage things. We have a dedicated product and project manager, but my technical skills are better than theirs!”

“Our product manager is always arguing with people, but he doesn’t dare to argue with me!”

“Because the moment he opens his mouth, I can annoy him to death!”

She said a lot in one breath and giggled.

Director Gu looked at her. The little core machine Yuan was not ashamed but proud, and she became even more smug.

“And our colleagues, sometimes when they submit code, I see that they wrote it messily, so I’ll secretly overwrite their commit history in git.”

“Later, they gave me another nickname. Guess what it is?”

Director Gu subconsciously started thinking with her.

The little darling answered in a silvery voice.

“It’s still Sister Shan, the Shan from ‘delete,’ ha ha ha ha!”

The little core machine Yuan’s infectious laughter also made Director Gu’s face light up with a faint smile.

The Encourager Yuan saw that her sister was in a good mood and started talking again.

“Our team is still very efficient. It’s just that sometimes it’s a little… dirty. If you spend a long time with that group of people, seriously, they’ll say anything!”

Director Gu didn’t quite understand what “a little dirty” meant. The Encourager Yuan slowly explained.

“At first, they still considered that I was a girl. Later, one of the guys started telling a dirty joke, and another guy tried to stop him, saying that I, Sister Shan, was still in the group. Then, someone accidentally tapped on my avatar twice and ‘poked’ me!”

“He really did accidentally tap on my avatar at that time, but after that, those guys really treated me like one of them. Dirty jokes just came out, and they would specifically @ me when they were telling dirty jokes. Things like ‘bull p3nis’ and ‘donkey p3nis’!”

The Encourager Yuan rambled on and on, getting more and more interesting. As she spoke, she even started interacting with herself.

“Hey, we raise cows at home, did you know that, Sister!”

“My dad opened a cattle farm. We’re low-key wealthy people. It’s like, Sister, you know that feeling of being a rich landlord’s daughter in ancient times.”

Director Gu looked at her, not saying anything, just listening to her babble seriously.

The Encourager Yuan continued.

“Then, when they all found out we raised cows, every time I took a leave of absence to go home, they would @ me and ask me to bring them bull p3nis and sheep kidneys and things like that!”

“I would ask them, ‘We also raise pigs. Do you want pig p3nis? If you do, I’ll bring it for you.'”

After she said that, she laughed loudly. Director Gu also couldn’t help but smile.

“Anyway, every time they teased me, I would be even more daring than them. Later, they all respected me so much!”

The little one’s smugness was just a blatant display of her “dirtiness,” and she was even proud of it.

Director Gu rolled her eyes at her, and she immediately changed the subject.

“We also play with colleagues from other project teams. It’s mainly because I have a very easygoing personality, so I have a lot of luck with the opposite s3x. Also, our project team is working on a new project, which has a lot of technical content.”

After a while of talking, she slowly returned to the main topic. Her sparkling eyes suddenly dimmed, and she sighed.

“If I wasn’t in the ICU right now, I would definitely be able to refer Brother Da Bing to our department or any other department he wants to go to. It wouldn’t be this troublesome for you, Sister!”

Director Gu had been led to happiness by her the whole way. When she suddenly heard “ICU,” she felt as if something had stabbed her heart.

She was sad and confused.

The Encourager Yuan still tried to answer her confusion based on her memory.

“On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we were originally pulling an all-nighter to prepare for the little spiritual entity’s launch. Then, I couldn’t handle it and collapsed.”

“After that, I became the little spiritual entity’s core code and came to this world.”

“It also told me that my body was still in the ICU, in a vegetative state.”

“Actually, besides not being able to see my parents and those reserved but cute programmers, I’m quite happy with everything else.”

“Because I met you here, Sister. You treat me like family, and there are also Brother Li Cheng and the others who are very loyal.”

The core machine was still muttering, but her Director Gu’s face was already covered in tears. The Encourager Yuan glanced at her, and her electronic voice instantly stopped.

Director Gu couldn’t hear the muttering. She held back her emotions, met her core machine’s gaze again, and said coldly.

“You talk too much!”

Yuan Yishan now regretted telling her this and making her sad.

Director Gu saw her silence and added a few more words.

“Focus on driving!”

The Encourager Yuan turned the steering wheel and made a U-turn. Director Gu, who had no sense of direction, also noticed that the direction was wrong and asked her.

“Why are you turning back? Did you take a wrong turn?”

The Encourager Yuan’s electronic voice was mysterious.

“Taking you somewhere, Sister!”

“Where?”

“You’ll know when we get there!”

Director Gu was being fed so much mystery by her little core machine that she pouted her mouth.

The Encourager Yuan glanced at her and, not wanting her sister to be unhappy, confessed.

“To the rooftop of Zhongxun. I’m taking you to see the stars!”

When Director Gu heard that this person was going to take her to the place where she used to work, her heart started to anticipate it. A second later, she suddenly realized that in this world, she was just a core machine. Zhongxun Group’s security measures were so strict. How could they let the two of them, two strangers, in?

“Are you sure you can get in?”

Facing Director Gu’s doubt, the Encourager Yuan answered without any hesitation.

“There’s a dog hole in the park…”

Director Gu: …

…

Zhongxun Group was not in the city. It took a full hour and a half to get there, even with no traffic at night. This area was still an industrial park, and the housing prices were not ridiculously high. The park’s environment was very good, and the security was as strict as she had imagined. The security guards at the entrance stood tall and straight.

Yuan Yishan didn’t park the car at the main entrance. Instead, she drove around the park and parked in a temporary parking spot at the entrance of a residential area.

This was a residential area they used to live in. It was very close to the company. When the guys worked late, they would always take the shortcut by climbing over the back wall of the park.

She pulled Director Gu a few steps and came to a low fence. In this world, no one should have walked through here yet. The fence was still painted a vibrant orange. However, later, it was gradually worn off by a group of reserved programmers going back and forth.

— Are you guys really going to climb over here?

— Of course. If Sister Shan is too scared, you can just walk around to the main entrance!

— That’s not what I mean. I’m saying, be careful when you’re climbing over so you don’t rub off your “big boss” and become barren. Ha ha ha ha…

The closer they got, the more vivid the memories of that year became. Yuan Yishan couldn’t help but smile when she remembered the jokes she used to make with the guys the first time they climbed the wall.

Director Gu saw her silly smile and was certain that this was the “dog hole” that the person was talking about.

— So, she wants me to climb through here?

Director Gu, in her formal suit, was encouraged by the little darling to climb on the fence the next second.

“Be careful, Sister! This part is sharp!”

Director Gu was both terrified and cursing in her heart: How can you have the audacity to say it’s sharp?

The Encourager Yuan was familiar with the path. She slipped over and landed lightly on her feet.

Director Gu was still on the fence, neither up nor down.

The little core machine Yuan mischievously watched and didn’t help.

Director Gu’s heart was just suspended in mid-air, neither up nor down.

The Encourager Yuan originally wanted to tease her for a while, but she saw her sister’s increasingly pale face and the daggers in her eyes. She ran over and picked her up in a princess carry.

Director Gu felt at ease in her arms.

A few minutes later, the two girls scurried through a narrow VIP channel like thieves and made it to the rooftop.

The sky in the suburbs was exceptionally low. When she looked up, she could see the stars within reach.

The Encourager Yuan activated the constant temperature mode, chose a relatively wide skin, and held her user in her arms to watch the stars.

Director Gu stared blankly at the stars in the sky.

— This little one, since she could find her old company, she should also be able to find her hometown and family, right? Even if she can’t be recognized as a core machine, she can at least look at them from a distance. But why…

“No, Sister. My program is set to be a core machine that only serves programmers. So I can only monitor IT companies in a small area and some information on the internet.”

“In the virtual world, I’m just a machine. I don’t have family. I can’t see them, and I can’t leave this city.”

These rules were something she only found out after the little spiritual entity transmitted its system to her core machine’s electronic brain.

If she could, how she longed to take her Director Gu to her hometown, to meet her parents, and then tell them that she had found the person she wanted to protect for the rest of her life…

Director Gu’s heart was soft and sensitive. Just hearing her say that made her incredibly sad.

She was trying her best to restrain her emotions. They had driven for so long to get to this happy rooftop to see the stars. She wanted this night, which she would never forget for the rest of her life, to be a happy one.

Ever since she had the little spiritual entity’s internal mechanism, Yuan Yishan’s core machine electronic brain had become incredibly powerful. At this moment, she could accurately monitor the user’s emotional changes.

Seeing that Director Gu was unhappy, the little one started to be naughty again to distract her.

“Sister, on a beautiful night like this, shouldn’t we do something to commemorate it?”

Her tone carried a light, suggestive meaning. Director Gu’s heart pounded at her flirting. She cautiously looked around. It was dark, with only sparse lights from the park, but on a rooftop like this, it felt like…

The next second.

The stars in front of her were blocked by an infinitely magnified core machine face. Then, a soft sensation was pressed against her lips. In a moment, something unknown forcefully entered her lips and teeth, exploring deeper…

A few minutes later.

She was so dizzy from being kissed that she couldn’t even catch her breath. Her hoarse throat hummed softly a few times. She wanted to refuse but was also inviting it, pushing away the machine that was pressed against her with her hand.

“Mm…”

She finally struggled to make a sound, only to be blocked again by the machine’s mouth.
