Watching the entire process on the surveillance footage, Yan Yan couldn't help but smirk. She caught a glimpse of someone casually glancing at the monitor, and her smile widened. This guy...
" Qin Huai?"
Huo Suixin immediately recognized the man before her as the "Night Emperor" from E Zone, who had been giving her grandfather quite a headache lately. He controlled e, d, Zone Three, and there were subtle signs of an impending invasion into S Zone.
If her grandfather knew that this person was also the "Night Crow," the highest commander of the Military Department, he would likely have an even bigger headache...
She blinked her cunning Phoenix Eyes, shifting her gaze between the woman beside her and Qin Huai. With a playful smile, she looked at him as if watching a show, causing an unsettling flutter in his heart.
"Tsk~ What brings Eldest Sister Huo here?"
"Aren't we all old acquaintances by now?"
Huo Suixin rolled her eyes at him, not intending to expose his Zero Point disguise. She pulled the woman beside her closer and introduced her. "This is my cousin. I'm just accompanying her to visit Shanda Corporation today. Um... she's a newly recruited technician from Shengda Technology Department."
"Hello, I'm Huo Yuwei. Nice to meet you."
The young woman in a light yellow dress gracefully took over the conversation, extending her slender, fair hand for a handshake. As she did so, she looked up in surprise to find that the mysterious man who had captivated her was gazing at her with a half-smile. Although he smiled, there was an icy indifference in his eyes as he casually remarked.
"I don't like to interact with anyone other than my partner."
With that, his narrow Peach Blossom Eyes lightly glanced at the surveillance camera.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuwei's cheerful expression froze instantly as she stood before him, unsure of how to respond. Huo Suixin sighed; this guy... was still as insufferable as ever. Reluctantly, she spoke up. "Yuwei, Mr. Qin has quite a few quirks. Um..." She leaned closer to him and whispered with a smile. The people around them only saw Huo Yuwei smile faintly and nod at the rather rude Qin Huai. "I apologize for my rudeness; I wasn't aware of Mr. Qin's habits."
Seeing her apologize, Qin Huai cast a cold glance at Huo Suixin but said nothing more. He merely nodded before turning back to his work.
Huo Suixin knew her cousin's stubbornness well; she would never back down until she hit a wall. It was clear that Huo Yuwei had someone she liked already, yet here she was trying her luck...
Shaking her head helplessly, a hint of regret welled up in her heart for the other stubborn and quirky girl. If it weren't for her insistence on visiting the technical department at this moment, they wouldn't have run into that person who was always attracting attention everywhere!
Rolling her eyes at the figure of that person, she soon smiled casually. After all, the two of them would inevitably face various challenges. Rather than resorting to other lowly and underhanded tactics, it was better that it was her cousin. At least she knew Yuwei's character well; the women of the Huo Family were straightforward and never resorted to tricks. Yuwei was like that too, and so was she. Therefore, regarding Qin Huai's fragile feelings, she wouldn't interfere in the slightest. Whatever the outcome, she would let it unfold naturally...
Matters of the heart were the hardest to understand—thinking of this, a wistful face floated in her mind. Suppressing the bitterness deep down, when she lifted her gaze again, she remained the carefree and confident Huo Suixin.
"What's wrong? Are you here alone? Where's that girl... not looking for me when she's in Area A?"
The man with nimble fingers paused for a moment before quickly finishing the last line of code. He pointed at several important areas on the Light Screen beside him, indicating to Director Cai to pay attention to those data sets, then turned to look at Huo Suixin with raised eyebrows, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Who said she came to Area A?"
The flat tone of his words made Huo Suixin's heart skip a beat. What did that mean...
"Oh~ Just asking casually. With your twenty-four seasons' wife controlling you so tightly, I thought you were always glued to her~" His teasing tone felt natural and friendly.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd who had been restless once again restrained themselves and lowered their head in confusion.
Huo Yuwei walked unbothered to the Light Screen where Qin Huai had been working diligently. She stared intently for a long time before exclaiming in shock, "You rewrote the main system's interception barrier?"
As soon as her words left her mouth, Director Cai also looked astonished as he glanced at several data sets on the other side. Sure enough, Qin Huai had rewritten the main system's interception barrier in just a few minutes and had even reestablished the data circulation system, allowing all excess overflow data to operate according to a streamlined cycle, preventing operational garbage from obstructing the main system during read-write processes.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Qin Huai's eyes; indeed, every woman from the Huo Family was extraordinary. "I didn't expect Sister Huo to have such knowledge about system data."
His casual remark landed on Huo Yuwei's heart. She dismissed any probing or sharp undertones and focused solely on the praise she felt from him. Nodding slightly with bright and open eyes, a smile graced her lips that revealed her good mood. "Just a bit of research; I'm not as knowledgeable as Mr. Qin."
Not overly proud nor excessively humble, her demeanor was measured and composed, enhancing her outstanding presence.
Combined with her striking appearance, others around her instantly regarded her as a goddess.
As soon as the thought of the goddess working in the technical department crossed their minds, several single men began to stir with excitement.
On the other side of the surveillance monitor, Yan Yan, having spotted someone she was looking for in the crowd, left the monitoring room and chased after the figure that had just pushed the door open, exiting the technical department.
The monitoring room was right next to the technical department, so when she dashed out, Qin Huai caught her every move from his position at the entrance.
He tapped his fingers on the control panel, noted a few points of interest, then stood up straight and turned to Director Cai. "The rest is no problem. Just switch over to the backup equipment as we discussed earlier. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."
"Ah... so soon?! Do you really need to—" Director Cai hurriedly began, wanting to keep him there.
"The remaining tasks should be fine for your new team member. This commission ends here. Goodbye."
With a decisive turn, he left, acknowledging only Huo Suixin with a nod while ignoring everyone else.
Boss Sheng watched as the man in black, who hadn’t even spared him a glance, walked away. He turned back and wiped his sweat, saying to Director Cai, "Old Cai, where did you find this guy? He’s quite intimidating and skilled. Do you think we could bring him into our company?"
"Boss, that might be difficult... Let’s take a look at the current game operations instead?" Director Cai smoothly shifted the topic while casting a quick glance at Huo Yuwei standing beside him.
Huo Yuwei caught her superior's gaze and quickly chimed in, "Boss, let’s review the real-time status of our tests..."
Huo Suixin nodded at her and swiftly exited as well.
