Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Underground secret realm.

"So, Athena, show up. We have to talk." Ling Qingyu folded her arms and tapped her skin. Her eyes devoid of emotion as she waited.

For five more seconds, Athena didn't appear until a fuzzy hologram appeared. "Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmph! You know what I'm talking about," said Ling Qingyu. "Don't think about your lousy plan to make me forget because I won't."

"Alright Mom. Right now, Aunt Xiao and Aunt Tang are taking care of the aftermath. Most robbers have been neutralized but a few escapes. They're now busy on it and Athena is trying her best. I might not have time and energy for a moment yet. Can you please wait?"

Ling Qingyu controlled her facial expression so that Athena couldn't read her mind. She never underestimated Athena's wisdom. Named after Greek Goddess wasn't for nothing because Ling Qingyu understood how terrifying Athena could be if she had no control.

But she wanted to laugh when Athena made several attempts to escape from her strict supervision by transferring to various important topics.

Actually, when Ling Qingyu heard some robbers escaped unscathed, her brows wrinkled. She never expected these robbers to be so organized and meticulous in planning to the details of evacuation.

If not for her presence and her subordinates, the outcome must be completely different. However, thinking of Lin Fan's figure, maybe there might be very little change.

As for what Athena said her energy on other aspects, Ling Qingyu didn't believe her daughter at all. Even scanning the entire Province or the country to obtain a complete data within seconds cost no more than a single digit percentage of her computing power.

That was when Athena had other jobs to do. It shouldn't even cost if Athena conversed with her. What a lame excuse! Too bad, she found her daughter so cute, what to do?

Seeing Ling Qingyu still stoic, Athena utilized the strategic weapon, no one could resist—selling cuteness.

She floated in the air and hugged Ling Qingyu's arm. Though her existence was a mere projection, the lovely sight still affected Ling Qingyu's promised nonchalance.

"Mom…Please…I'm just curious," whined Athena.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No matter how Ling Qingyu moved away, Athena managed to stick to her body. Even though her body sensed nothing, Ling Qingyu admitted she was defeated and coughed. "Alright. Stop your behavior. Let's settle things like adults."

"But I'm your daughter," replied Athena.

Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes at this remark. She was forced to have one not that she gave one naturally. Greeting Miss System, Ling Qingyu sighed and decided to relent.

Who made her have such a cute and beautiful Athena as her cheap daughter? The mere eyes movement and the expectation seen in the expression melted Ling Qingyu.

So, with Athena's bitter smiles and tears, the two signed an agreement, not meeting Ling Qingyu's initial demand but she was satisfied. As for Athena, her mood was not enough to be described as indulging in profound nine heavens, or a certain cultural saying in Country C.

Although Athena had to submit to Ling Qingyu for certain restrictions, graduating from childhood and must work harder, these were negligible to her gains where her mother had released so many leashes. In any case, both parties got what they wanted.

In order to placate her mother and prevent Ling Qingyu from taking back her words, Athena mentioned one great news.

"Really?" Ling Qingyu was surprised. She knew Athena was capable but this was too much. It appeared she underestimated Athena's productivity yet again.

"Yes, Mom. I have now completed a new mobile phone design and one is available. You can try it out," said Athena with excitement.

"What are the specs that can win over other competitors?" Ling Qingyu controlled her expression and inquired for more informations, understanding that Athena would never disappoint her.

"Well, Mom, are you sure you'll understand what I'll say?" asked Athena, tilting her head.

How cute again, oh no. Did Athena state her brainpower was insufficient? Ling Qingyu paused and stared at her daughter with icy gaze. "What did you just say?"

"Ahem, nothing Mom. Let's begin…please listen carefully. Since completing the entire circuit and mobile interior and exterior design, everything is set. However, to compete with others or even overwhelm them we need an advantage. A mere software aspect isn't enough to suppress others. So I focus my development on the hardware…

"As you know, given my condition with anything printer, manufacturing components becomes extremely easy. What others struggle for a day, I'll get it done within a second."

Ling Qingyu: "I know my daughter is excellent, please get to the point." She was speechless with Athena's bragging behavior. Where did she inherit from? Surely, it couldn't be her, Ling Qingyu was certain.

"Okay, don't interrupt Mom, here's the best part. Because of my extensive hack—I mean…ahem…research, plus iterative simulations and extrapolations, I have succeeded a groundbreaking discovery in the field of electronics for commercial use. Even Aunt Tang doesn't know yet; you are the first."

"Do I have to be proud of that?" Ling Qingyu snorted.

Athena didn't mind Ling Qingyu's reaction and continued. "With our current technology, I have been able to produce 2nm chips, the most essential semiconductors in any electrical components. Are you excited, Mom? Do you know what it means for us in the world? We're in the top!"

Amidst Athena's raised exhilarated voice, Ling Qingyu questioned. "How so? I know the world top technological company can already produce nano materials with limited properties, not as much as people envisioned yet. What's the deal with your 2nm?"

Athena stopped and stared at Ling Qingyu in amazement. She blinked several times as if to judge whether Ling Qingyu was joking. Until she really understood, Ling Qingyu was serious, Athena helplessly covered her face and groaned.

"What's the matter?" Ling Qingyu narrowed her eyes.

"Oh my CPU… I feel like I'm playing the greatest music to a cow."

"Athena! Is your skin getting itchy?" Ling Qingyu roared. Though she had no idea why Athena felt dismayed, she knew Athena was looking down on her. "Although I really can't anything to you, I can just ignore you." Ling Qingyu said a useless threat. Indeed, apart from ownership and some limitations, she had no rights.

Of course, in front of her cute daughter, Ling Qingyu couldn't bear to make Athena cry.

"Ah! Mom, slip of the tongue. I couldn't control myself." Athena reacted quickly.

"You mean, you're telling the truth and what you have in mind." Ling Qingyu's eyelids twitched.

"No, I mean wrong words. Wrong words." Athena gave a sad smile.

"Hmph!"

"Mom, don't be angry." Athena utilized the 'nuclear arsenal', selling cuteness.

"I'm not angry." Ling Qingyu sighed, her anger almost gone. "Do you look down on your Mom?" Ling Qingyu inquired, a bit saddened. "Or do you think I'm so bad?"

Frankly, listening to Athena's simplified explanation, Ling Qingyu had a huge doubt whether she had lacked behind so much. She knew nothing about those nm chips. This was the first time. All she understood was that silicon, the important base ingredient, was produced from desert sand. Hence, the reknown Silicon Valley. Nothing more.
