Chapter 199: The Feng Family Banquet Is Arriving
Somewhere else in the Feng family home.
Feng Wenshu was reprimanding Feng Junhao.
Ever since coming back from the parent-teacher conference, Feng Wenshu’s face was as hard as stone.
Feng Junhao knew that it was his fault. Over the last few days, he had been respectful in front of Feng Wenshu and did not dare to go against his wishes. However, Feng Wenshu did not reciprocate in kind. He did not say a word to his son, as if he was holding onto his anger in his heart.
Today, when Feng Wenshu found out that Feng Linbai had gone to school that day to look for Jiang Yu, his anger finally exploded and he went to look for Feng Junhao in a huff.
The moment Feng Wenshu saw Feng Junhao, the first thing he said to him was, “Why didn’t you tell me that Jiang Yu was ranked first in the grade?”
Feng Junhao lowered his eyes. “Dad, when I got home that day, the elders were all here. I didn’t want to embarrass you so I didn’t say anything.”
“Then you could have told me later! There was still a long time between the day of the parent-teacher conference and then. You had plenty of opportunities to tell me in private but you didn’t say anything. I only found out after I arrived at the school!”
“You don’t know what I’ve been telling other people. Aren’t you just stabbing me in the back? You’ve humiliated me!”
Feng Junhao remained silent.
He knew that he absolutely could not rebuke Feng Wenshu at this time or it would infuriate him even further.
As Feng Wenshu looked at his silent and mute son, the fury in his heart swelled.
Thinking that this was his precious only son though, Feng Wenshu suppressed his anger. He stopped himself from flying into a rage but he still could not help but reprimand Feng Junhao, “The next time this happens, you must tell me immediately! Otherwise, do you want to embarrass me again?”
“I understand, Father.”
Feng Junhao had replied but it wasn’t what Feng Wenshu expected to hear.
He frowned and said, “Usually, you’d say ‘there won’t be a next time’. What is it? Are you going to lose again?”
Feng Junhao pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “It’s possible.”
Feng Wenshu said in disbelief, “Is that Jiang Yu that powerful?”
Feng Junhao was silent for a long while before he said, “Father, she got a perfect score. There’s a 30-point difference between us…”
“I don’t believe it. How can someone get a perfect score? Did she cheat?”
Feng Junhao shook his head. “It’s impossible, Father. The school has already checked.”
He didn’t dare say that Jiang Yu had finished two papers and had gotten full marks on both sets. It would make him look even more incompetent.
“That’s weird.”
Feng Wenshu muttered to himself, “How can this brat be that good? She’s even better than you. If she didn’t cheat…”
He suddenly realized something and said, “Feng Linbai must have one something being the scenes. The two of them have been in cahoots for a long time. They’re deliberately trying to beat you and make me lose face!”
The more Feng Wenshu thought about it, the more it seemed to him. The memory of that day returned to him. He snorted coldly and said, “No wonder he said that you might not be the first. It turns out that he was insinuating and mocking me! This insidious villain, I knew that he must have ill intentions!”
Feng Junhao did not quite believe this version of events because it would have been extremely difficult to pull off.
The A and B papers for the monthly exams would be written by different teachers. They wouldn’t discuss their work and the papers would be sealed in a safe. Before the monthly exam, only the principal will have the keys to the safe. Only on the day of the monthly exam could the headteachers and the assistant headteachers of every form take all the papers out.
Therefore, if Feng Linbai wanted to get all the papers in advance, he had to bribe the teachers of every subject but this was basically impossible. There would always be teachers who were stubborn and would never accept bribes.
Unless he had bribed the principal of A High.
Which was even more impossible.
However, Feng Junhao knew that if he immediately refuted Feng Wenshu, he would be the one to suffer. He might as well wait for Feng Wenshu to finish venting before speaking.
Sure enough, Feng Wenshu cursed Feng Linbai a few more times. After he calmed down a little, he asked again, “I also heard that had Jiang Chenglang attended the parent-teacher conference. I initially saw Rong Qi in the class and thought that Jiang Chenglang wasn’t coming again. Who knew that he actually went to Jiang Yu’s class?”.
“What’s going on? Jiang Wan took a long leave of absence and Jiang Yu is now valued in the Jiang family? Were you aware of this?”
Feng Junhao replied honestly, “I’ve been hearing about it but I’m not sure…”
“How could you not be sure of such an important piece of information?! Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on the Jiang Sisters?!”
Feng Wenshu’s anger rose up again, “I’ve already told you. The wealthy families value bloodlines the most. Even if Jiang Yu was only recently recognized, she is still Jiang Chenglang’s biological sister and could replace Jiang Wan’s position at any time. Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Wan are not related by blood.”
“Jiang Chenglang recently won another project, the development of the Jiang Corporation has taken another step forward. I’m in contact with Jiang Chenglang in the business world, so I’m leaving Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan to you. It’s best if you can make the Jiang Corp. work for us. That way, we’ll have more leeway when fighting for the right of inheritance. Do you understand?”
“Father, I understand,” Feng Junhao said hesitantly. “It’s just that Jiang Yu doesn’t seem to be easy to get close to…”
“I originally thought that Jiang Yu wasn’t up to scratch but now looking at things…”
Feng Wenshu was halfway through his sentence when he glanced at Feng Junhao. He no longer tried to discourage him and changed his words, “She’s just a girl. What’s so difficult about it? She’s just proud and arrogant because of her good grades. If you say a few gentle words to her, she would definitely become obedient to you.”
“Although Feng Linbai is pulling strings behind the scenes, you still have an advantage. You’re popular in school, any girl your age would be attracted to you. Her heart is fickle. Whether you can pull her away from Feng Linbai’s side, that’s all up to you.”
Feng Wenshu patted Feng Junhao on the shoulder and said solemnly, “I believe in you.”
Feng Junhao replied, “I understand.”
In any case, he was indeed a little interested in Jiang Yu now, so it wasn’t such a bad thing to get close to her.
“Also, the banquet prepared for Feng Linbai’s debut will be held in two days. At that time, other than the Jiang family, there will be a lot of other influential people attending…”
Feng Wenshu said meaningfully, “Perform well. I want this banquet to be your stage. As for Feng Linbai… Hah. Turn the original main character into your background!”
Feng Junhao also smiled.
“I understand, Father.”
…
Of course, Jiang Yu did not know that someone had set their sights on her again.
She was combing through the internet, sorting through various bits of information.
Jiang Yu had always been a person of action. She remembered that she wanted to start a company and also find some capable people to surround herself with. It was too tiring to have to do everything herself.
After browsing through a lot of information, Jiang Yu locked onto two targets.
She easily found the contact information of the two people in charge and sent a simple message to each of them.
Chapter 200: The Supreme One Destroyed the Leaderboards
Two people received a message, one after the other.
The person in charge of an innovative project was who was worrying about its investment funds: “Investment. Give me your account number. I’ll pay you 20 million in advance.”
A down and out martial arts school director who was about to close his doors: “Acquisition. Give me your account number, I’ll pay 5 million in advance.”
The two people: ???
What the hell?
Has the God of Fortune descended from the Heavens?
…
After Jiang Yu had spent all the money in her account, she logged into the hacker forum.
She first checked her unread messages and then went on to pick up a few tasks.
As soon as she went online, the only friend on her friend list noticed her logging in and quickly sent her a few messages.
Ice: “Supreme One, you’re finally online. I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”
Ice: “Supreme, did you see the message I sent you?”
Cheese Tart: “I saw. I’ll accept.”
Ice: “Supreme, when can you finish it?”
Cheese Tart: “Today.”
Jiang Yu ignored him after sending this message.
On the other end, Ke Yanbin saw that the task he had sent had been accepted by the other party. He was satisfied and switched the page. Finally, he could clear his mind and focus on other things at hand.
After an hour, he had completed a small task. He logged back into the hacker forum and found that Supreme’s profile picture was still lit up.
Today, Supreme had not logged off immediately. Could it be that they were completing other tasks on the forum?
Ke Yanbin felt a little strange. Usually, after Supreme has finished talking to him, they would disappear immediately. It was usually impossible for him to talk to The Supreme more. He could only wait for them to come online on the agreed day.
Then, once The Supreme comes online, he would simply throw the task over and wait for them to say that it was done. He would then transfer the money over. They would then send a message saying “received” and go offline without saying another word.
This was the usual, meager exchange between him and The Supreme One.
So, did this mean that The Supreme was freer today?
Ke Yanbin secretly wanted to chat with Supreme a little more. It was best to recruit such a powerful person to their side. If it really didn’t work out, it would at least be good to attempt at getting closer to them!
Otherwise, if The Supreme were to come and hack through their system one day, no one would be able to withstand it.
Unless…
Unless Master regained his sight and refamiliarized himself with the technology.
Ke Yanbin sent another message: “Supreme One, are you interested in working for us? How much money do you want? Feel free to say any number. We will definitely do our best to satisfy you!”
Three minutes later.
Cheese Tart: “Not interested.”
Cheese TAart: “I’m off.”
Then, immediately, The Supreme’s profile picture turned a dull gray.
Ke Yanbin: “…”
What was going on? Were they trying to get him to back down?
Ke Yanbin sighed. Could it be that he had been too aggressive and had scared The Supreme One away?
However, an outstanding talent like The Supreme, they have definitely seen this kind of invitation many times before. He should be numb to it.
He clicked into the main page of the forum and was shocked. It took a while for him to come back to his senses that his phone almost fell to the ground.
On the eye-catching leaderboard on the main page of the forum, Cheese Tart was connected to three high-difficulty missions, five medium-difficulty missions, and two easy missions.
In the past hour, they had already completed two easy missions and three medium-difficulty missions. Their income was at the top of this week’s and this month’s list.
On the forum, there were already people cursing and wailing, saying that they were cutting off their sources of income.
Ke Yanbin silently exited the forum. He still couldn’t believe it.
So the Supreme was online for an hour because they were busy destroying the leaderboard?
Was this person even human?
Chapter 201: Such Valiance. He Must Be a Man, Right?
In one day, Jiang Yu completed all her tasks.
Only when all her rewards were accounted for did she heave a sigh of relief.
After taking a look at the string of zeros in her bank account did Jiang Yu finally feel a little relieved.
With this money, she would be able to start a company and fund a martial arts dojo. There was nothing wrong with earning money and fighting, only then would she be able to live a more balanced life.
Jiang Yu didn’t care much about the rankings. She didn’t even know that if she accepts so many missions and earns such a large sum of money, she would become such a strong competitor in many people’s hearts over such a short period of time.
Many people wanted to find out their identity, but how could someone who was ranked so high be easily found by those who were jealous of them.
Jiang Yu didn’t care at all. She stretched and was about to go to bed when she saw her that only friend had sent another message:
“Supreme One… Have you been short of money recently?”
Jiang Yu was in a good mood and quickly replied: “Yes.”
Ice: “God, do you want to reconsider? If you’re short of money, you’re welcome to join us. 200 million a year? 300 million? 500 million as payment? What do you think?”
Cheese Tart: “I’m tired. Going to bed.”
Ice: “…”
Yes, he was once again mercilessly rejected by The Supreme.
Ke Yanbin was a little upset. He was so upset that when he was standing beside Feng Linbai, his master noticed something was wrong with him.
Feng Linbai’s eyes were covered with the medicine that Jiang Yu had prepared. He leaned his head against the back of the chair and asked, “What happened? Why are you so absent-minded today?”
Ke Yanbin mumbled, “Master, it’s that hacker god that I told you about earlier. They took on so many missions in the forum today and completed them all in one day!
“This god is too strong, too terrifying. I don’t know where this demon came from! I really want to get to know them and work together with them. I don’t know what kind of character this person is in real life.”
“If such a person could come to your side, Master, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Unfortunately, I’ve tried to recruit them a few times but they’ve rejected me over and over again. I feel that they’re a really low-key and talented big shot. Their identity is well hidden. Just when you think there couldn’t be anyone stronger, someone else comes along.”
Ke Yanbin was still sighing when Feng Linbai suddenly asked, “Is this person a man or a woman?”
Ke Yanbin hadn’t even thought about it. “Such valiance. He must be a man, right?”
He couldn’t imagine a woman destroying the leaderboards.
Thinking of valiant people, Ke Yanbin could think of one person.
… He could imagine a certain girl beating everyone up.
“You’ve been chatting with them for so long but you still don’t know their gender or age?”
Ke Yanbin said embarrassedly, “That’s why they’re such a mystery… The forums are in an uproar but no one has been able to find out this person’s identity…”
“But, Master,” Ke Yanbin said as if he was talking to himself, “The darknet’s hacker forums still maintain your record. So many years have passed but no one has managed to break it yet. Between you and The Supreme One, I wonder who would be number one, Master…”
Feng Linbai laughed lightly.
“I want to meet this person too.”
His eyes were about to recover anyway.
He wanted to see for himself, who this mysterious hacker boss that Ke Yanbin had described.
…
Jiang Yu held something in her hand as she went to look for Jiang Chenglang. She found him on the phone.
She knocked on the door and had just entered into his study when she heard Jiang Chenglang ask, “What happened to Wan Wan?”
