Chapter 300: The Finally Softening Attitude
Wang Heng placed the order.
On Taobao, it took him quite some effort, but he found a suitable merchant and proposed the need for a customized product—the most stable signal, the longest-lasting battery, and it had to be as small and light as possible. Of course, this made it much more expensive than products on the market, but for Wang Heng now, any problem that could be solved with a five-digit figure wasn’t a problem at all.
Of course, it would take a few days for the item to arrive. Although the merchant promised the fastest SF Express delivery, assembling a customized item still required some time.
This way, the signal transmitter was secured, but considering these things were to be carried around by a girl, did he need to custom-order a casing? Cute, fresh, artistic, elegant… While pondering these questions, Wang Heng saw that WeChat message.
【I’ve had some discoveries in my recent work. Can I discuss them with President Wang in person?】
This was a WeChat message from Han Yixuan.
Wang Heng thought for a moment and replied: 【Sure, when are you free?】
Just a few seconds later, Han Yixuan replied: 【I’m free today and tomorrow. What about President Wang?】
Wang Heng checked the time; it was now 11 a.m.
So he said: 【How about I treat you to lunch later?】
Han Yixuan: 【Okay.】
Looking at the last message, those simple two words, Wang Heng suddenly felt a bit emotional.
“If she hadn’t been given a subordinate card by me now, she definitely wouldn’t just say ‘okay’ so simply. She would definitely add a cute sticker pack, emphasizing her identity as a girl.”
In the cage not far away, the hamster was running on the wheel. This daily fitness activity clearly didn’t hinder it from speaking.
“Yeah, she’s gotten smart now.”
Hearing the hamster say this, Wang Heng couldn’t help but feel puzzled: “Smart? It’s just the normal awareness of being a subordinate. What kind of smarts is that?”
The hamster glanced at him, running on the wheel while saying: “Think about it. In the future, when you gradually get accustomed to the businesslike Han Yixuan, truly treating her as a subordinate, and she performs as professionally as Shen Yexi. Then suddenly one day, this professional Assistant Han pushes you down in the office with the calmest attitude. Could you hold out?”
Wang Heng imagined it, then honestly shook his head: “If the timing is right, she might actually succeed.”
Hamster: “Then do you still dare to go to lunch later?”
Wang Heng sneered: “If I don’t even dare for this, then what’s the point of playing the Asura Field? And if she’s trying to use a strategy on me, with Han Yixuan as she is now… heh, I’d be more likely to use a strategy on her.”

Han Yixuan and Wang Heng met at an ordinary restaurant. Sitting across from each other at a table by the window, they ordered four dishes.
Although not in the office, Han Yixuan was dressed today like a workplace OL. A black fitted V-neck dress, with a light-colored small jacket over it, flesh-colored stockings below the skirt, giving a sleek and delicate feeling. Her makeup was equally exquisite, with eyeliner, eyeshadow, and red lips, giving her a mature sense beyond her age as a young girl.
The waiter responsible for filling out the menu was a young guy, and his gaze couldn’t help but drift toward Han Yixuan…
After taking the order, the waiter turned to go to the back kitchen. But before leaving, he glanced at Wang Heng, who looked like just an ordinary university student, seeming a bit envious and jealous.
Han Yixuan noticed this detail, pursed her lips, and felt like smiling a little.
Wang Heng didn’t pay attention and just asked: “Didn’t you say you had some thoughts from work? What thoughts?”
Han Yixuan came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and said: “It’s about fof’s shared bicycle business. I think we could perhaps expand it a bit.”
Wang Heng raised an eyebrow: “Expand?”
Han Yixuan said calmly: “Currently, the bicycle deployment locations are limited to those universities. Of course, targeting university students is very appropriate, as they are young, have strong ability to accept new things, and relatively high quality. But outside campus, the transportation demand is greater, and there are far more people needing bicycles than students.”
Wang Heng nodded and smiled: “Exactly, so from the beginning, I never planned to limit shared bicycles to campus. When chatting with Wei Kai, I told him to look further ahead.”
Han Yixuan: “Then should we suggest to him now…”
At this point, Wang Heng shook his head: “No need to suggest. He’ll expand on his own. As long as operations are stable on campus and he sees hope for profit, he’ll eagerly expand to the streets outside, spreading shared bicycles to every street. Wei Kai is a bit idealistic and gets carried away in good times. So no need to urge him; on the contrary, we should hold him back a bit, not let him expand too fast.”
Han Yixuan couldn’t help but feel a bit doubtful: “You see through his personality that clearly? No way…”
Wang Heng smiled: “Wait and see. I’ll bet with you: in less than half a year, fof will start formal A-round financing, then roll out across the entire Imperial Capital, and perhaps add Magic City, Huadu, and Shencheng. These A-list cities are huge and crowded, most in need of shared bicycles.”
Han Yixuan: “What about Rongdu?”
Wang Heng: “That’ll come later… But we can suggest that one, advise him to consider Rongdu earlier. The terrain here is flat, and the subway network isn’t developed enough, so it’s quite needed.”
“I understand, President Wang,” Han Yixuan said with a shallow smile. “You’ve considered it earlier and more thoroughly than me. I won’t overstep.”
Wang Heng: “No, if you have any ideas in the future, you can still tell me. One person’s mind is always limited; brainstorming is better. A girl as intelligent as you will definitely think of many things I can’t.”
A girl as intelligent as you… The sudden praise made Han Yixuan slightly stunned.
Right after, Wang Heng continued: “And besides fof, you can pay more attention to Little Orange Book. Their core users are young girls like you. From university students to workplace elites, those are their main targets. And you are both a university student and a workplace elite, so your opinions will definitely be very persuasive.”
Han Yixuan couldn’t help but secretly tug at the tablecloth with her hand and asked softly: “Do I count as a workplace elite?”
Wang Heng didn’t hesitate: “Of course.”
Han Yixuan: “But I feel like there are so many things I don’t understand, so many…”
“It’s okay, everyone starts that way. When I first got into programming in high school, I was totally confused, and when I first started investing in Bitcoin, I knew nothing. Learn gradually through practice. We have plenty of time; I can wait. No need to put too much pressure on yourself.”
While encouraging her like this, Wang Heng’s face was full of warm smile, and his gaze was even gentler.
Meeting his gaze, Han Yixuan was completely stunned.
From the confession after Gaokao to now, when had Wang Heng ever shown such a warm attitude?
The young girl’s nose soured, and her eyes turned a bit red.
