Chapter 77 Chocolate Little Tabby

Thank you to the monk who became a Taoist priest for the flowers, thank you to the bewildered starry sky, Ling Lingqi with three heads and six arms, and the little gift from 卍薄暮卐.

Su Xingbo stroked his chin thoughtfully: "That sounds interesting. If we can solve this problem, it might be of great help to some privacy-related work. But I need to look at the existing technical data first."

"No problem, everything is ready." Ayako clapped her hands, and a maid came in carrying a stack of documents.

Su Xingbo opened the document, his gaze gradually becoming focused. He carefully flipped through each page, occasionally tapping the table lightly with his hand—a habitual gesture when he was thinking.

Sonoko paced back and forth, occasionally peeking over to see where he was on the document he was reading, while Ayako sat with her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the two of them.

After a while, Su Xingbo looked up and said, "The encryption algorithm mentioned here has certain vulnerabilities, which can be improved by addressing them. However, the security measures in data transmission are not perfect enough and are vulnerable to external attacks."

Sonoko's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Wouldn't it be even better if we combined it with quantum encryption technology?"

Su Xingbo nodded slightly: "That's a good idea. We can try it out in this direction."

"However, the application cost of quantum encryption technology is very high, and the compatibility of current equipment is also an issue," Su Xingbo added with a slight frown.

“Then we can start with a small-scale simulation test project, using quantum encryption only for some core data, while using the existing encryption method for other data, and gradually updating the equipment to improve compatibility,” Ayako suggested.

“Yes, this plan is feasible,” Su Xingbo agreed. “But the initial investment is still a big problem; we need to find suitable investors.”

As expected, none of the daughters of wealthy families are simple people. Even Ayako, who looks ordinary, has her own extraordinary qualities.

“My dad might be interested, after all, he’s always been interested in investing in emerging technologies,” Sonoko said excitedly.

“Then you can tell your uncle about this project. I’m sure he won’t let this opportunity to make money slip by.” Su Xingbo stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Before that, you need to further refine the plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

“Okay,” Ayako and Sonoko replied in unison.

They really hit a nerve by choosing this, since it was around 1996 and these more advanced technologies hadn't even been developed yet.

If Ayako succeeds in this project, then he can offer more suggestions.

For example, developing touchscreen phones, mobile payments, artificial intelligence, and most importantly, new energy technologies.

If these technologies had been released earlier, it would have been a major technological revolution.

He'll definitely make a fortune then, and with the Suzuki zaibatsu's influence in Japan, he'll probably be running for prime minister.

With a wave of his arm, a large number of people would agree that he should become the president, and no one could stop him.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………look....

He gave a helpless, bitter smile, started the car, and drove towards Mingmei's house.

The car was quiet throughout the journey, with only the little tabby cat's soft snoring.

They soon arrived at Mingmei's building, and Su Xingbai gently picked up the little tabby cat and got out of the car.

As soon as he reached the door, it opened, and Mingmei greeted him with a smile.

………………………………………………………………………………look.....

Su Xingbai answered as he entered the room.

"That's good. What's in your box? Wow, it's a kitten!"

Akemi looked into the box with surprise and found a kitten inside. The tabby cat seemed to know that its owner was Akemi and made cute meows at her.

This made Mingmei even happier, and she immediately took it out of the box and stroked the fur on its back.

"Is this for me?"

Su Xingbai nodded and said, "Yes, I guess I'm destined to meet this cat. I accidentally ran into it when I was in the mountains. I don't know how many days it had been starving."

"But you know, I don't have time to take care of it. I need you to take care of me, so I brought it here for you to raise."

"After all, you are meticulous and love small animals. I can only feel at ease if you take care of these little guys."

Akemi smiled and gently tiptoed to give him a light kiss on the cheek.

"This is a reward for you. I really like this little tabby cat. By the way, have you named it yet?"

He's not good at naming things. If it's white, he'll call it Little White; if it's black, he'll call it Little Black; and if it's pink and white, he'll call it Little Pig.

This is great; you don't even have to think about choosing a name.

"No, we're waiting for you to give it a nice name."

After thinking for a moment, Akemi finally said a name.

"Let's call it chocolate."

What kind of name is this? It doesn't seem as good as his Little White and Little Black.

Although it's a tabby cat, it's not a big problem.

Out of curiosity, Su Xingbai still asked.

"Why is it called chocolate? It's not even black."

"Because I like chocolate mille-feuille cake, but calling it mille-feuille sounds a bit awkward, so I prefer to call it chocolate."

Mingmei's smile was particularly radiant, and she looked exceptionally beautiful in the sunset.

He was so engrossed in watching it that he became completely absorbed.

Finally, urged by Mingmei, he came to his senses and went back inside.

After entering the house, I called Yukiko and told her that I wouldn't be going home tonight and that she should eat more nourishing foods to replenish her body.

He said he'd cook a proper meal with me when he got back tomorrow. The voice on the other end of the phone was unusually quiet, just repeated "uh-huh," "okay," "okay."

Unfortunately, he didn't notice, and just hung up the phone after chatting for a while longer since she hadn't rested enough.

After helping Mingmei set up Chocolate's accommodation, we took it to get vaccinated and have a check-up. By the time we finished, the sun was almost setting.

Fortunately, there weren't many people like them today, otherwise there would have been a long queue.

When he got home, Su Xingbo jumped onto the sofa, face down. This kind of work is best done by someone as hardworking and dedicated as Mingmei.

He was exhausted from following behind, and he hadn't expected that Mingmei would like chocolate so much. Helpless, he had no choice but to become her driver.
