Chapter 669
“We just started dating, and you’re already talking about marriage. Don’t you think it’s a little fast?” Mira asked.
Mira thought it over for a moment.
“But you’re getting older. I suppose I should take care of you p>
“Mira, could you drop the age thing? It’s a huge blow to my ego, makes me feel like I don’t deserve you,” Owen said.
Owen paused, turning back around to face her.
“Fair enough,” Mira teased. “But since you mentored me, it’s only right that you tolerate my lack of filter p>
“Fine, I’ll tolerate it. But when exactly are you going to marry me p>
“I’m not even of legal age yet. We have to wait until I graduate from college, at least p>
“Alright, I’ll wait.
Whether you get a master’s, stay in the country, or go abroad-the second you get that bachelor’s degree, we’re tying the knot p>
“Deal p>
Mira had always been straightforward; she despised playing games or stringing people along. Since they were dating, as long as they didn’t break up, marriage was the natural endgame.
The next morning, after breakfast, Mira headed to the company with Owen.
The Emerald Messenger development team was already in place, which meant the next step was launching the short-video platform.
Now that smartphones had become globally recognized as indispensable daily tools, she intended to leverage them to get a head start in the digital economy.
In its initial phase, the app would feature creative music videos for users to entertain themselves, share with friends, and build a follower base.
This would gradually expand into live-streaming, e-commerce, and targeted advertising. With users came traffic, which guaranteed brands would flock to the platform.
VibeStream hadn’t officially launched until six years later in her past life. By developing it early, Mira was guaranteed to corner the market.
The executive backbone had already been trained through the mobile OS and gaming divisions, but mid-level management and below needed to be recruited from the public and top universities.
When Mira returned to campus on Monday, rumors of the Solflare
Group’s recruitment drive were
already spreading among her peers,
sparking intense excitement.
Securing a position at Solflare was notoriously difficult; their doors were usually shut tight to entry-level applicants.
In reality, the company was severely understaffed and constantly using headhunters to scout global talent.
However, they were exclusively hunting for top-tier executives.
Only a massive new platform launch like this would open up so many mid-level and entry-level positions.
“Mira, when I graduate, could you help me get a job at Solflare p>
Elara Finn asked eagerly.
“No problem. With your work ethic, we’d love to have you p>
Leah Monroe asked a similar question, but Mira’s response was more measured. “We’ll have to
mhen you aduate it’s a little,
see
too early to talk about it now p>
Unlike Elara, who trusted Mira implicitly, Leah was far more calculating.
Employment involved negotiating titles and salaries, and a fresh college graduate simply lacked the necessary skills to demand much.
Mira didn’t want to deal with someone whose expectations exceeded their abilities.
On the way back to their dorm that night, Elara nudged Mira. “Vanessa Voss set Piper Bennett up with a guy, and Piper’s been bragging about it for days p>
“I heard he has a master’s degree from abroad and works at a major tech firm
making tens of thousands a month,” Leah chimed in, her eyes shining with envy.
“So Vanessa didn’t set Jillian Lowe up with anyone p>
Mira asked.
Logically, Jillian was Vanessa’s closest sidekick.
