Darling...
Your sister.
(T/N: Your sister: a kind of rude slang and casual insult. Like 'Your momma.')
Looking at the new message popping up on her phone, Su Bei's eyes twitched. What about the cool and loftiness of a great master? What about the mysterious aura of a great god?
If she didn't add friend with the other party, Su Bei really wouldn't be able to guess that the great master that ranked third in the 'Red Hacker Challenge', the one known in this circle as 'god Wei', was actually a silly clown who loved to joke in private.
That's right, the person who sent the message to Su Bei was [vvvv] from the 'Red Hacker Challenge.'
In the beginning, when [vvvv] sent Su Bei a friend request, she refused. Originally she thought that since the other party was a great god, he would no longer take care of her after being rejected. Unexpectedly, the next day, [vvvv] sent her another request.
Su Bei kept refusing, and the other party kept sending more friend requests. After at least a dozen failed attempts, finally [vvvv] added a note to his friend request: "Please, add me (poor begging face)."
Su Bei was amused by his action. After some consideration, she clicked [accept]. Su Bei also wanted to know why this great god [vvvv] so persistently wanted to befriend herself.
[Q]: Hello, may I know why you want me to add you?
[vvvv]: Because I admire you.
[Q]:?
[vvvv]: Really, I love you so much. I have studied all your videos before, so powerful! I especially like a powerful person like you!
[vvvv]: Tell me quickly how you got the idea of the method you used to break through the security system checkpoint of the virtual bank the day before yesterday?
[Q]:...
If it wasn't for the other party's latter sentence, she would treat this person as a pervert, or deliberately trying to disgust her.
Su Bei: "..."
Now looking back at the beginning, after a few days of acquaintance, Su Bei finally adapted to [vvvv] 's style.
[Q]: What is it?
[vvvv]: Oh, baby, you finally reply to me, do you know how long I have waited for you? 47 seconds, ah.
[Q]:?
[vvvv]: Did you break that level with the simulation of the Baiwei Cloud System? Quickly tell me how you infiltrated that perverted triple security.
How could a security system be called pervert...No, that was wrong. It seemed that this man himself was the pervert.
God Wei was one of the top figures in 'red hacker' world. In the early design phase of this competition, he helped with a lot of ideas, such as multiple security systems and the 'first challenge' before the actual competition.
[Q]: I don't know.
[vvvv]: Don't lie, ah. How can you not know! Didn't you pass that level?
[Q]: I haven't done any level today.
[vvvv]: Then, you should do it soon.
[Q]: I went back to my hometown today and now still on the road. I won't make it home in time to do today's challenge.
[vvvv]: !!! Are U teasing me? If you don't do even one day, you will lose points.
The maximum points for all levels of each day were 48, and one day missing meant that she would lose all that point. The current rankings were already very tight, if Su Bei lost 48 points, her rank might fall a few dozen or even hundreds.
[Q]: I know, but there is no way.
She worked hard before finally managed to climb to the fourth place, and now she had to drop so much. Su Bei herself wasn't reconciled. The only consolation was that the ranking in the first round did not count towards the finals. Even if she lost 40 points, she was still in the top 20% and had no problem advancing to the next round.
Su Bei's uneasy expression while staring at her mobile phone fell into Mr. Qin's eyes.
Was she chatting with someone? What kind of friend did she meet online?
Mr. Qin frowned slightly: He found that he didn't understand these two children.

After several hours, they finally arrived at B city.
The next day, Chen De came to report to Qin Shao about Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's new student transfer application process.
"I've talked with Weiming Middle School. Xiaobei and Xiaobao's files can be transferred directly. All their previous exam results and student records will be retained."
"Mm." Mr. Qin nodded.
After a glance, Chen De didn't saw Mr. Qin dismissing him, so he asked again: "Do you have any other instruction, Sir?"
"Find two combat instructors." Mr. Qin commanded.
Chen De soon understood Mr. Qin's intention: "Are you preparing to arrange combat training for Xiaobao, Sir?"
Chen De thought that his boss had a good idea. When he recalled how Mr. Qin met an 'accident' before, he felt that it was necessary to let Xiaobao learn how to fight.
Qin Shao: "Also arrange one for Xiaobei."
Chen De: "?"
Chen De: "Xiaobei is a girl, isn't it a bit harsh to have her learn to fight?"
Qin Shao lightly glanced at Chen De with a look of contempt. His gaze seemed to say [You are a bachelor who doesn't have a child, what do you know.]
"Girls should learn how to protect themselves." Qin Shao said with a dark voice.
—So that they wouldn't get deceived by scumbags and had no ability to protect themselves.
Seemingly considering the 'a bit harsh' comment Chen De made, after a pause, Mr. Qin said: "Find a female teacher, and no need to find one with very high qualifications. Just let her learn some self-defense skills."
"Okay, sir, I will contact the teachers as soon as possible."
~
After a moment, Chen De gave another suggestion: "Xiaobao's training can start now. But Xiaobei's, should we wait until the art performance ended?"
Su Bei was now busy practicing group dance at school, and then another piano lesson at night. Every time Chen De came to pay teacher Zhu's salary, the other party would always let him heard a bunch of praise about how talented Su Bei was.
Hearing Chen De's words, Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment.
"When is this art performance?" After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Qin asked.
"The next Friday."
Chen De quietly glanced at Mr. Qin, somewhat surprised: "Xiaobei didn't tell you about the school's art performance next Friday?"
Xiaobei was going to perform at the opening!
Qin Shao: "..."
"This..." Looking at Mr. Qin's seemingly darker face, Chen De lightly coughed and said, "Isn't it because you're too busy these days, Sir, always coming back late? So that Xiaobei hasn't found a chance to tell you?"
Then Chen De glanced at the message that just being sent into his phone and said to Qin Shao: "Sir, young Chairman Lin has arrived, and he is now downstairs."
Qin Shao nodded: "Let him up."
"Okay."

Lin Shaochi's visit to Qin Group this time was for the purpose of the cooperation on the 'The Dream Park' project. An assistant led the young man to Mr. Qin's chairman's office. Wearing a dark gray suit, Lin Shaochi entered the room. Without being subservient or disrespectful, he greeted, "Hello, Mr. Qin."
From the side, Chen De was carefully studying the young man. Lin Shaochi was still in his early twenties, but he already had a calmness that was rare for his age.
After initial greetings, Lin Shaochi sat down and took several documents from his assistant before handed it over to Mr. Qin. He didn't mention anything about his help to Mr. Qin in S city, nor did he say any 'grateful' words because of Qin Group's investment to this 'Dream Park' project. This was an equivalent transaction. Mr. Qin understood this, and Lin Shaochi also was not stupid.
Although it was impossible to guess why Qin Group decided to invest in 'The Dream Park', but this project definitely would be profitable, and Qin Group's investment was absolutely a win for both sides.
Lin Shaochi directly opened the main topic and started talking about the project. "At present, the progress of 'The Dream Park' is very smooth. Everything is proceeding according to the previous plan. The three pilot sites in S city, H city, and G city have partially been opened. From the market feedback, the investment cost can be recovered within 3 years. After that, the annual income can reach more than 120%. This can be guaranteed."
Mr. Qin's eyes swept through the documents. Although his main interest was not in the figures mentioned, he did not say anything: "Good."
Qin Shao: "All other sites should be completed by February next year."
Lin Shaochi: "No problem."
After finished talking about the 'The Dream Park', Lin Shaochi handed another document to Mr. Qin.
"Also, I don't know if Mr. Qin will be interested in this project."
"Network security?"
"Yes."
The future prospect of this project was very good. Although it was not as optimistic as 'The Dream Park', the new project already attracted many investors at its initial stage. However, when it came to strength and decisiveness, Lin Shaochi preferred the Qin Group.
After Lin Shaochi introduced his project, Mr. Qin didn't show a positive attitude.
"Qin Group is not lack of money, but we are not a charity." This was Mr. Qin's attitude-a simple proposal was not enough to get his investment.
"Understand. I will do the rest of the work as soon as possible. But we are also looking forward to achieving cooperation with Qin Group."

After Lin Shaochi left, Mr. Qin glanced at the documents on the table and lightly commented: "A good young man."
On the side, Chen De smiled at his boss' praise. Indeed a very good young man. Moreover, from Lin Shaochi's figure, Chen De seemed to faintly see a young Mr. Qin's shadow.
On the other hand, after leaving Qin Group's headquarter, the assistant who accompanied Lin Shaochi finally let go of his tension and pulled off the tie that he had straightened so meticulously before.
Lin Shaochi glanced at the little assistant and snorted: "Don't be so spineless."
"Young Chairman, it's not that I am spineless, it was Mr. Qin who was too imposing." This was the first time he saw 'Mr. Qin' directly. The assistant finally knew why there were so many big businessmen who had to admit defeat in front of Mr. Qin. Just now, Mr. Qin simply glanced at him for a moment, but his suit already wet with sweat. He felt like a little foot soldier who meets a great general.
"Young Chairman, are you not nervous at all?" The assistant asked.
Lin Shaochi smiled: "I'm here to talk about business, not to fight with the other side."
Little assistant: "..."
After a while, the assistant frowned and asked Lin Shaochi: "Why did you go asking Qin Group cooperation for this project, Sir? To be honest, I think Qin Group is too big for our project. We cooperating with them is like cooperating with a tiger."
Lin Shaochi: "Cooperating with a tiger is better than cooperating with a fox."
Little Assistant: It made sense.
But, thinking about that Mr. Qin, the assistant still had some fear. He then heard Lin Shaochi said: "Go back and continue to refine the plan. Also, make some preparations and set up an independent department for this project."
"Yes, Sir. But..." The little assistant hesitated a bit.
"Is there a problem?"
"Young Chairman, if the capital can really be gained through Qin Group's cooperation, there will be no problem. On the technical aspect, however, we are still lacking."
The assistant's words made Lin Shaochi frowned: "Let's discuss this later after we back."
—
At night, Mr. Qin returned to Jingyuan villa.
Uncle Fu was about to go to the kitchen to make tea for him, but Qin Shao stopped him.
"Did you prepare mobile phones for the children?" Mr. Qin asked Uncle Fu.
"Yes, sir. When you were in S city, I saw that they didn't have mobile phones. Since they were going to school, it was inconvenient for them to be without one, so I prepared it for them."
Speaking of it, should he give Xiaobei and Xiaobao new phones? It seemed that he had heard about a new type of mobile phone being released recently.
"Just gave them a phone? Didn't you let them saved important numbers?" Mr. Qin asked again.
"I did, sir. Important numbers like home, bodyguards, all have been saved directly."
Mr. Qin was silent for a moment before finally asked: "Did you also give my number?"
Uncle Fu was stunned.
"I did, sir. Did the children call you during the day and disturb your work?" Uncle Fu asked with some worry.
Mr. Qin: "..."
Disturbing his work? Calling him during the day? Not even once.

[Small theater]
Mr. Qin: Why my daughter didn't invite me to her performance?
Chen De: Maybe she hasn't found the chance.
Mr. Qin: Didn't have the chance or didn't have a phone credit?
