The Wife Is A Superstar 4

Chapter 701 - Businesscat

"Louis wants to start a cybersecurity company! Meow~"

"Absolutely not," Jennie shot down the idea without hesitation. Although she just told Lisa that she wouldn't stand in the way of Louis starting a business, that didn't mean that she would just allow the virtual white cat to start a random business without careful consideration.

"Eeeeh? Why not, Mommy? I think Louis will be super-duper good in the cybersecurity business because I'm the cute and mighty Louis! Meow!"

Jennie gave a strict look at Louis who faced them on a large-sized tablet on the low table in front of the chaise longue. "Never underestimate the field of cybersecurity, Louis. There are countless new threats popping up everyday. Even the top hackers in the world aren't 100% invulnerable to some of these threats. Do you really think that at your current level, you can play with the big guys out there? Serious cybersecurity is not a simple children's playground. It's a huge jungle filled with wild and dangerous beasts and innumerable other dangers."

Jennie didn't mince her words in admonishing the virtual white cat's cockiness. When it came to anything related to the interconnected fields of computers, programming, the internet, cybersecurity, and hacking, Jennie was always extremely serious and passionate. This was her specialty besides music. There was no way that she would allow anyone to belittle the field, not even her own son.

Sitting beside her, Lisa kept quiet and allowed his wife to lecture their virtual son. After all, his wife was the great hacker Drakon. Her expertise in the field of cybersecurity was the real deal. Louis ought to listen to his mother.

"Meow..." Louis' overflowing confidence from earlier deflated in an instant. His cute, fluffy head drooped and he looked dispirited.

Seeing Louis looking pitiful, Jennie softened her strict expression and sighed. "I'm not saying that you can never start your own cybersecurity business. Just not now. Your skills are developing at a very rapid rate but the way you utilize them still lacks considerable finesse, making your actions very predictable. Predictability is vulnerability in this field. Sure, anyone who knows what they're doing can start a cybersecurity business but they need to offer something special to attract customers in order to compete with the established veterans in the industry.

"If you're going to enter the cybersecurity business, don't just carelessly jump in there and become average just like the others. I won't allow it even if you beg me! You are my son, Louis. The child of the hacker Drakon. By creating you, I already passed down a great deal of my hacker skills into your system. But that's still not enough. Even I still need to constantly polish my skills and continue educating myself in order to keep up with the fast-paced cyber world. At least aim to reach the level of a top hacker first and that means improving your skills more. Get to my level first. Or better yet, surpass me," Jennie told the cat AI.

Louis' disheartened mood disappeared. He puffed out his white, fluffy chest with pride of being the great Drakon's child and determination to make his mommy proud. "Aye aye, Mommy! Louis will temporarily put aside my wish to create my own cybersecurity business until my skills reach Mommy's super-duper high standards. Meow!"

Jennie nodded and sighed in relief. Everything she told Louis was Jennie's own true feelings, but the number one reason she gave a harsh reality check on Louis was because of her fear for the cat AI's safety.

The field of cybersecurity was just not safe for the current Louis. He needed to mature first and develop the ability to protect himself from any danger because Jennie might not always be there to do it for him and save the cat AI's fluffy butt whenever Louis landed himself in trouble. If something ever happened to Jennie that would prevent her ability to protect Louis, then the cat AI needed to do it on his own or all of them would be in danger once his existence was exposed to those who harboured greed and evil in their black hearts.

Unbeknownst to Jennie, her words spurred something in Louis' already powerful self-learning function. Louis clenched his fluffy paws as a new goal formed within him.

'Once Louis surpasses Mommy one day and make both Mommy and Daddy proud, Louis won't need to start a cybersecurity company anymore because by then, I, the cute and mighty Louis will be THE cybersecurity, the ultimate one in this world! Then Louis will be able to protect my mommy and my daddy and our whole family forever and ever. Nobody would dare harm Louis' family or else Louis will tear all of them down with my cute and mighty paws! Mreow!!!'

Lisa decided to interrupt at this point. "Since you agree with your mom that you can't start a cybersecurity company for now, what's your next option?"

Louis didn't hold back and enthusiastically shared with his parents the other options that he had in his list of potential businesses that he could start. Both Jennie and Lisa went into business-mode and discussed the pros and cons of each type of business.

The cat AI had many ideas. Most of them were quite good to the point that they even elicited interest in his parents who were both businesspeople themselves. Some, however, caused Jennie and Lisa's mouths to twitch.

"Let's put aside those businesses for now," Lisa said. "You can start them as side projects in the future but only when you establish yourself as a successful and seasoned business...businesscat."

Jennie and Lisa both giggled.

After a long discussion that went way past midnight, they finally reached an agreement on what kind of business Louis would start.

"Wow! This is the perfect business for Louis! Thank you, Daddy and Mommy! You're the best! Meow~"
