Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Did you get upset when I was away?” Romeo asked the girl beside him.
“No, didn’t you see? Everyone likes me”
Even Sheila, who had initially looked down on her, had eventually apologized.
Romeo mulled it over for a while before saying, “Fine, I’ll listen to you this time. I hope she won’t let you down.
But with your guidance, McMillian Corporation’s new line for this quarter is definitely going to be a hit.
How should I thank you.”
Romeo caressed Mirabella’s face and was about to lean in for a kiss.
Just then, the elevator doors opened with a ding. The head of the finance department was about to enter, only to see Mr. McMillian caressing a girl’s face as if about to kiss her, his voice seductive, his eyes filled with affection.
He was taken aback and quickly rubbed his eyes.
“Mr. McMillian” He quickly greeted, “I was just coming to find you. Here’s this week’s financial report.”
Oh, my god, someone tell him what’s happening. Why was Mr. McMillian in the elevator, acting so intimate with a girl as if no one was around?”Do you usually not greet people?” Romec’s gaze fell upon him. “Call her Mrs. McMillian.”
The head of the finance department clutched his heart, shocked for a moment before stammering, “Mrs.MeMillian, h-hello. Welcome to the finance department. I’ll show you both around.”
When Mirabella visited the finance department, she noticed that the financial software they were using seemed a bit outdated. The interface wasn’t slick enough, the layout was somewhat irrational, and it was lacking in detail compared to the best financial software X1 on the market.
However, this software was developed in-house by the McMllian Corporation, and was thus considered relatively secure.
“What’s up?” Romeo noticed her pause and followed her gaze.
“The software needs an upgrade”
At Mirabella’s comment, the head of the finance department couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy, but on the surface, he merely replied politely, “This is the latest version.”
Though they found it inconvenient to use, the development of a new software would require considerable resources, so they hadn’t raised the issue with upper management.
“What issues did you find?” Romeo asked the girl beside him.
“The interface isn’t clean enough, the major functional modules aren’t comprehensive, and the management structure is rather rigid. It fails to meet the variable demands of the corporation, and its installation size is huge. This results in slow operation speeds and it’s prone to freeze.”
As soon as Mirabella finished her sentence, many of the finance department staff around them began to nod in agreement. Spot on!
The software developed by McMllian Corporation was indeed outdated. They had grievances for a long time, but didn’t dare to voice them to the higher-ups.Mrs. McMillian just pinpointed the problem upon arrival.
They were just short of shouting, “Thank heavens, finally, someone has noticed the shortcomings of this software.”
Romeo didn’t expect the girl to understand even these matters, and encouraged her with an approving look. “Go on: “Just now, I noticed they don’t have a feature for voiding vouchers. There’s no clearance feature, no cashier’s signature feature, and I didn’t see a marking error feature in voucher review either.”
The staff around her began to nod vigorously in agreement. Yes, yes, yes, these were missing, and it was so inconvenient to operate that sometimes they felt like flipping the table and smashing the computer!
A staff member was gazing at Mirabella hopefully, her computer screen showing a consolidated statement, with the cursor hovering over a certain part of it.
Mirabella instantly understood, “In the voucher consolidation, there’s no data on foreign currency. There are no statistics based on account types. Like asset statistics, liability statistics, and so on”
The employee was so grateful she could have knelt down to thank her. She hadn’t expected Mirabella to be so sharp and spot the problem immediately.
These were the exact issues she wanted to bring up!
Mirabella looked at Romeo, slightly puzzled. These were features that financial software should include.
“Why hasn’t anyone raised these issues?” Romeo’s gaze swept over the surrounding people. Usually, he was busy with decision-making matters and had little insight into these details.The staff were a bit nervous, but the finance department head defused the situation with a laugh, “Everyone adheres to an ‘if it’s usable, use it’ principle, so as not to be wasteful”
“This isn’t about being wasteful or not, if the software is affecting work efficiency, it should be changed.”
“In fact, it can be changed now.’ Mirabella’s slender fingers clicked the mouse, and then swiftly typed a series of codes on the keyboard.
Normally, altering backend data would require a password.
It would need the consent of Romeo, the person in charge of the software, to proceed.
But Mirabella was Alex, and this was not a challenge for her.
Her delicate fingers danced over the keyboard, and a series of codes quickly came into view.
“The generated reports will be more concise and pleasing to the eye this way.”
After saying that, Mirabella modified a few more programs, and then said, “And this way, the accounts and vouchers will be clearer and more organized.”
Everyone was flabbergasted, they couldn’t believe that a problem that had been troubling them for over a year had been solved in just a few minutes by Mirabella.
“I’ve added a new feature. From now on, just click here, and you’ll be able to check your reports across multiple years. Also, this feature here allows you to customize shortcuts.”
Quite a few employees broke into excited chatter.
“That’s fantastic! Sometimes when we’re swamped, we really want to set up shortcuts, but the software itself didn’t allow us to, so we were left without a solution.”
“This software originally couldn’t cross-reference reports over multiple years, so we had to dig through each month individually. But now, with Mrs. McMillian’s addition, pulling up annual reports will be a breeze.”
“Absolutely, no more numbing our hands with constant mouse clicking.”
Mirabella demonstrated the new features and the crowd around her gasped in astonishment.
“I love this feature. Earlier, Mr. McMillian asked me to pull up a report for a particular month from one of our subsidiaries. It took me ages to find it. But now, with this fuzzy search, it pops up in an instant.”
“Mrs. McMillian, you’re so talented. Are you a software developer?”
“Can you help us upgrade other features?”
Mirabella’s slender, pale fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard as she spoke. “I’ve refined some features, expanded the types of reports, increased the convenience of report handling, simplified parameter settings, and added some flexibility.”
The employees around her were ecstatic.“However, overall, the software’s intelligence level and technological aspects are somewhat outdated. It requires a lot of time for maintenance, the version is too low, and it’s prone to bugs. I suggest a complete upgrade or developing a new one.”
No sooner had Mirabella finished speaking than Romeo agreed, “We’ll arrange it immediately.”
The crowd hadn’t expected that a single sentence from Mirabella would hold more weight than their thousands of pleas. They burst into cheers.
“Having Mrs. McMillian visit us today is truly an honor”
“Mrs. McMillian, you spotted so many issues and helped us improve. We really can’t thank you enough.”
“Mrs. McMillian, will you be involved in the software development later? You’re so knowledgeable about finance software. With you on board, the new software is bound to be a breeze to navigate!”
“Mrs. McMillian, when will you be visiting us next? We have a few more questions about finance we’d like to ask you.”
Mirabella gave a faint smile, her voice gentle as she replied, “We’ll see.”
“If you have any issues with the software, feel free to bring them up. We’ll help improve it.”
Romeo finished speaking, draped an arm around Mirabella’s slim waist and said, “We should get going.”
At this rate, they wouldn’t finish their tour in the afternoon.
Mirabella nodded, bid them farewell, and with a reluctant Joyce accompanying them to the elevator, the crowd only started discussing once the elevator doors closed.“Do you think Mrs. McMillian works in finance? She seems to know quite a bit. Could she be a financial expert?
Or maybe a company owner? Could she be from a wealthy family?”
“I think she looks like a college student who hasn’t graduated yet. Did you see her skin? It’s so soft it could probably squirt water”
“She’s indeed young and beautiful.”
“Anyway, we can finally say goodbye to the old, frustrating software. With Mrs. McMillian’s help today, it’ll undoubtedly be much easier to use.”
“We’re looking forward to the new software for a better user experience”
“That’s not the point. The main thing is, the usually high and mighty Mr. McMillian, seems to become a different person around Mrs.McMillian. Have you noticed? No matter what Mrs. McMillian says or does, Mr. McMillian just watches her with a look full of love.”
Mirabella followed Romeo through several departments until they halted their half-day tour as Carl brought over the afternoon coffee.
On the other side, Serena was completely stunned by the WhatsApp message that her best friend had sent.
[Serena, you know my mom is the Assistant Director of Procurement at McMillian Corporation.]
[This morning, she saw Romeo with a girl, hand in hand, making quite a public appearance at McMillian Corporation. By noon, they were seen lunching together at the staff canteen.]
[My mom said the girl is stunning, top-notch looks, even prettier than us, and around our age.]
[Turns out, Romeo’s mother even made it to the canteen to jain them for lunch. They were chatting and laughing throughout, looking just like a family.]
[Serena, isn’t Romeo your fiancé? Why would he be with another girl? And she even received his mother’s approval.]
When Serena saw these messages on WhatsApp, she felt a chill down her spine as if she’d been dropped into an ice cave.
Although she knew the truth couldn’t be concealed forever, she didn’t expect the day to come this swiftly.
