Chen Cheng looked up. "Have you looked through them all?"

"Is there anyone you think is suitable?"

Zou Yu's face was puffed up with annoyance, but she still told the truth. "Looking at them overall, in terms of professional ability, image, and temperament, that one named Zhao Yazu is quite suitable."

[Big Beautiful Round, yanzus, post the pictures.]

[I don't recommend watching the original film; it's quite brain-dead. Either the production team was incredibly stupid, or there were restrictions but they still wanted to film it, resulting in many logical inconsistencies.]

"She graduated from the University of International Relations."

The reason Zou Yu was huffing was that Boss Chen was hiring a new secretary.

Indeed, as things piled up, Zou Yu could no longer handle everything on her own.

So Chen Cheng told her to hire another secretary for him to share some of the workload.

Zou Yu originally suggested letting Xing Lu do it, but Chen Cheng refused.

Flaunting a pair of impossibly beautiful twins would make it obvious to anyone what was going on.

Mainly, they were too beautiful, which would easily spark gossip.

Chen Cheng didn't want to get caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

"Zhao Ya... zu?"

This name immediately stunned Chen Cheng.

After a long while, he blinked and looked at Zou Yu. "Is there a resume?"

Zou Yu nodded. "Yes... I sent it to you a long time ago."

Chen Cheng found the internal email and clicked to open it.

The moment he saw Zhao Yazu's photo, Chen Cheng's expression began to stiffen.

Just now, he had held onto a sliver of hope that it was just someone with the same name, but he didn't expect it to really be her.

Thoughts flashed through Chen Cheng's mind like lightning as he wondered what had attracted those people's attention.

After thinking for a long time, he still had no clear idea.

The only possibility was ZEN AI.

But it shouldn't be.

ZEN had only finished training the first-generation model; it hadn't released any products or leaked any technical development information. It shouldn't have attracted any attention.

Chen Cheng thought for a long time and could only come up with two possibilities.

Either it was the massive purchase of computing cards for the second phase of the data center, or his invincible operations in the US stock market had made people curious—or suspicious.

Sending Zhao Yazu, this double-agent worth five hundred thousand, was to probe his depths?

Wait...

Suddenly, Chen Cheng realized there was another possibility.

If this Zhao Yazu was the Zhao Yazu from before she was sent out...

Then the person who sent her to probe him wasn't from the outside, but...

Chen Cheng swallowed hard. He liked chasing girls, but he had never thought about provoking intelligence operatives.

Getting involved with intelligence work meant life would become a total nightmare.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him dazed and silent for a long time, Zou Yu waved her hand in front of him.

"Oh, it's nothing~" Chen Cheng finally snapped back to his senses.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yazu's age again.

28 years old.

Chen Cheng immediately understood that she had been sent by hostile forces from outside.

Calculating by her age, Zhao Yazu should have already infiltrated the enemy's interior by this time.

He just couldn't be sure how long she had been under.

However, her appearance here, combined with her age, allowed him to at least roughly determine that the main plot of Top Secret Contest hadn't started yet.

In the plot, Zhao Yazu lurked for ten years, gradually reaching the core of the spy organization before being sent back to the country to spy on nuclear energy intelligence.

At the end of the show, it was explicitly stated that she was a graduate of the University of International Relations.

Following the life trajectory of entering university at eighteen and graduating at twenty-two...

If the age of twenty-eight was real, then Zhao Yazu had already been undercover in an overseas spy organization for about six years.

Of course, that's assuming the age was real.

But it didn't matter; for those in this line of work, the difference between their real age and their records wouldn't be too large. Otherwise, it would be a huge flaw in their identity, potentially leading to total ruin.

After all, human aging is a natural law that cannot be stopped.

Another reason that made Chen Cheng certain Zhao Yazu came from abroad was that his Hostility Perception hadn't reacted at all.

This also supported the inference that Zhao Yazu had been sent by outsiders.

Zhao Yazu was just 'completing' a task; whether toward him personally, or toward Company Name and ZEN, Zhao Yazu herself harbored no ill will, which was why the system didn't react.

He could also be certain that Zhao Yazu was acting alone.

At least within a ten-kilometer radius, there were no 'accomplices' of Zhao Yazu.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, then looked up at Zou Yu. "Let's go with her. Have her come over; I want to meet her."

"Okay~" Zou Yu pursed her lips and gave a faint nod.

After Zou Yu left, Chen Cheng quickly went over the plot in his mind.

He blinked his eyes, took out his phone, and called Yu Tu.

"Send me a copy of the fusion technology data you have, and send the rocket recovery data along with it."

"Okay~" On the other end of the line, Yu Tu didn't ask any questions.

Just as Chen Cheng was about to hang up, he thought again. "Also, have the researchers compile a set of data for me on the entire upstream and downstream semiconductor industry and its various technologies."

Putting down his phone, Chen Cheng stood up and went to the wine cabinet.

Zhao Yazu's appearance made Chen Cheng feel a sense of immense crisis.

Chen Cheng poured a glass of wine and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked up at the Financial Street 'Big Three' across from the office, then down at the bustling street over two hundred meters below.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart, "It's lonely at the top."

Zhao Yazu's appearance reminded him that he should immediately upgrade the security measures of the entire Zhencheng System.

Even the core R&D personnel needed to undergo counter-espionage training.

But he couldn't do it now. Doing it now would be equivalent to telling the enemy that Zhao Yazu was exposed as soon as she arrived.

It would also expose his own intelligence capabilities.

As he spoke, a playful expression appeared on Chen Cheng's face again.

I didn't expect that I would one day be targeted by a spy.

It's actually quite...

Hahaha.

Before long, Zou Yu brought Zhao Yazu in.

"Chairman, Miss Zhao is here."

Hearing the voice, Chen Cheng finally turned around.

His eyes immediately lit up. Zhao Yazu was dressed in professional attire: a white shirt and a gray suit skirt.

It was very decent, and also very... ascetic.

The moment their eyes met, a smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face. He raised his hand and pointed to the sofa. "Have a seat."

Zhao Yazu gave a polite smile, nodded, and followed Chen Cheng to the sofa area.

"Would you like something to drink?" Saying this, Chen Cheng raised the wine glass in his hand. "How about... a drink?"

"This..." Zhao Yazu was a bit dazed by his overly familiar manner. She smiled awkwardly. "Isn't it a bit early?"

Chen Cheng struck a thoughtful pose and nodded. "Yeah, it is a bit early."

He turned to look at Zou Yu. "For Zhao..."

Zhao Yazu smiled. "Zhao Yazu!"

"Pour a glass of water," Chen Cheng instructed with a smile.

Zou Yu glanced expressionlessly at Zhao Yazu and turned to pour the water.

This woman was very beautiful, and looking at that bastard's eyes, he clearly had his eyes on her again.

Chen Cheng ignored Zou Yu's attitude and looked at Zhao Yazu, speaking slowly, "Your resume says you've been working in America. Why the sudden desire to come back?"

Zhao Yazu showed an expression of homesickness. "Well... maybe after being away for so long, I've started to miss home."

"True. Tigers don't leave their mountains, and people don't leave their paths; who in this world doesn't miss home?" Chen Cheng nodded with a smile.

"Give me an introduction. No need to mention what's already on your resume. Tell me something I don't know."

"Tell me about your lifestyle, what you like to eat and drink, and what your hobbies are."

"And tell me about your friends."

Saying this, Chen Cheng raised his hand to check his watch. "I'll give you half an hour... there are forty minutes until the end of the workday. Until then, let me get to know you."

"Is that okay?"

...
