Everyone was astonished at this international couple—the Chinese gentleman with the American beauty—what a perfect match! They were all silently impressed. At this moment, Daimeng felt like a small bird perched on the sturdy tree of Gao Liang, finding security and comfort. This strong tree offered her the sense of safety she craved; the beauty longed to be protected by the handsome man. Since their passionate kiss in Peter's office yesterday, their hearts had been tightly intertwined. "Don't worry about me, Daimeng!" Gao Liang reassured her, seeing her anxious expression. Daimeng realized she couldn't do much—she made an unexpected move in front of everyone: she boldly kissed Gao Liang. The passionate scene was something rarely seen even in Hollywood films, and the audience was thrilled, clapping and cheering for the deeply affectionate pair. Peter was furious—he roared like a wild beast: "Gao Liang, I want you to vanish from here tomorrow!" "说完,她夺过迈克手中的资料,甩到高亮脚边,气急败坏地走了,把办公室的门甩得咣当直响。 After work, Mike passed by Highlight's desk and, when no one was looking, quietly slipped him a device the size of a portable radio, saying, "Good luck, Highlight!" Then he hurried off. Highlight simply replied, "Real a friend! Thanks!" Each colleague who passed by Highlight's desk said in English, "Oil! Oil!" The support and encouragement from his colleagues gave Highlight great comfort, making him feel he was far from alone in this foreign land. When all the colleagues had left and the lights in the headquarters building had been turned off, only one office space in the design department remained faintly lit. On this quiet night in California, it stood out only slightly. Gao Liang stared at the 256-page fully Chinese game documentation, the small-size Chinese characters densely packed. He checked the final page and his face lit up with astonishment: "There are no less than 512,800 words! My goodness! It seems Peter has truly decided to push me out. It's now 8 p.m., and there are still 12 hours until 8 a.m. the next day. Even a top-tier Chinese-to-English translation expert couldn't possibly complete such a lengthy work within this short span! Clearly, Peter intends to drive me out, deliberately making things difficult for me!" Gao Liang had already cursed Peter a thousand and ten thousand times in his heart, yet it seemed to make no difference. He couldn't give in—he had to win. Otherwise, if he truly returned to China, he’d be truly humiliated. Thinking of his exquisite campus beauty wife Zhang Yurong’s encouraging gaze, full of hope for his growth and excellence, and recalling his own wife, Dai Mengna, who had said with heartfelt expectation, "Honey, please work hard!" "Don't let me down!" Hao Li slammed his palm on the table. "Old man, I'm all out! Pete, you dog!" Hao Li rallied himself, knowing he was now engaged in a real battle. The fate of the operation hung in the balance tonight! He was unusually diligent in translating, but soon realized it took tremendous effort—hours of work, and still only managed a few pages. If this pace continued, he had no idea when the entire document would be finished. Clearly, something drastic had to be done. Then his eyes shifted to the device, the size of a portable radio, which he examined closely and was immediately delighted to discover—it was a ShuLeDuo handheld learning device, something he had never seen before. Since it was a learning device, it must have many features. He began experimenting with it, and soon found that it had a Chinese-to-English translation function. He's a smart guy—having graduated with a degree in computer science—so he naturally has a professional sensitivity to such matters. He promptly connected his office computer, and the system then prompted him to enter Chinese characters. He simply highlighted a few Chinese characters on the keyboard and typed them out, and instantly, they were translated. However, this level of efficiency is still extremely low. Given only a few hours, it's simply impossible to type 510,000 Chinese characters. Then it struck him: there it was! He picked up the high-speed scanner on his desk, scanned a few pages of the book, and tried to find online a software application capable of translating text from scanned documents. Unfortunately, he found none. In desperation, he made a mistake—dragged the scanned pages into the blank area where the system had previously prompted, "Please enter Chinese." To his astonishment, a miracle occurred: the Xueluo handheld learning device displayed, "Translation system busy, please wait!" About a few minutes, the learning device sends the translated text to the WORD document on the computer. Scanning it with emphasis, he feels quite satisfied! Ha! It seems Mike's beloved gift has finally come in handy. Checking the time in the lower-right corner of the computer screen, he sees it's already midnight—how tired he feels! He's only completed one-third so far. No way—he must keep going! But the overwhelming fatigue is weighing heavily on him. Just then, a clear, bell-like voice comes through: "Sir, this is the best ESPRESSO coffee from New York—specifically designed to invigorate. Please enjoy!" Raising his head, he notices a female server standing before him, having appeared without any prior notice. It's so late, yet someone has come to bring him coffee. He says, "Thank you!" The server replies, "No thanks!" and then leaves. Sipping on an espresso with foreign flavors, Highlight felt his nerves relaxed and refreshed, like a well-oiled machine speeding ahead. Just as he had nearly finished translating half the document, Highlight stretched lazily, preparing to close his eyes and take a short nap, when a well-dressed American elder appeared—dressed in a white suit, full of energy and bearing a wise gaze. He held a pipe in his mouth and asked warmly, "Are you the Chinese who found a bug and won $10,000 at the pre-launch event of the game '极品飞车无间风云'?" Highlight felt the man's kindness and warmth, and nodded with a smile, "That's me!" "Good luck, young man! The company won't let you down!" With that, he walked away. Highlight was surprised—how had this man known about him? Why had he come at such a late hour? Who was this remarkable person? He continued working. Finally finished by 7 a.m., then went over it again. At first, he was full of confidence, but after flipping through a few pages, beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead: "My goodness! Is this even English translation? There are so many problems! The sentences don't make sense, and there are numerous garbled sections—especially the 200,000 words in the middle, almost entirely garbled! What am I going to do now? I've only got one hour left—I'm completely done. Truly done. When high-lighting the thought of his impending departure from the U.S., he felt a deep sense of sorrow. He forced back his tears, with no hope at all, and pulled out his personal, high-end handheld laptop. He remembered that there was a music video of Zhang De Lan's "Spring Beauty" stored on his laptop, one he particularly loved. He intended to enjoy it thoroughly before quietly leaving here, leaving the U.S. Just as he was at his lowest, high-lighting discovered a window titled "Language Decryption System!" It had started running automatically—oh! The learner, the tablet with built-in scanner, had accidentally been plugged into the USB port of his super portable computer. Perhaps the super portable computer automatically detected the current translation task. Highlight was delighted—such a window interface felt so familiar, just like a game's gameplay unlock system, looking extremely亲切. He double-clicked to install, then after launching the installed program, a prompt box popped up: "Please enter the decryption password!" Damn, how unlucky—there was no way he knew what this password was! Highlight tried several different passwords at random, and each time it worked. At that moment, his phone rang. He looked at it and was thrilled—it was Ying'er calling. "Honey! I've finally completed the long-term strategic plan for Longfeng Hall after working through three sleepless nights. I've sent it to your email. Please take a look whenever you have time!" Ying'er's clear and gentle voice, as soft and melodic as a nightingale's song, instantly lifted Gao Liang's spirits. He never expected his heavenly wife to be so dedicated and hardworking in supporting his career. Deeply moved, he immediately said, "Ying'er! Thank you so much! I'll work hard!"
