As expected, after she took the computer, her slender and fair fingers tapped out a pleasant rhythm on the keyboard. In just over twenty seconds, the mysterious server was declared breached.

"Sir, twenty-seven seconds." the assistant said in a low voice.

Ye Ziyu nodded, seeming to be satisfied with the result.

Okay, now let's talk about the terms.

Yun Qing looked at him seriously: "Since Xuan Mei is very sincere, I can make an exception to take one order from Xuan Mei each month. Aside from this, there's no other discussion."

What kind of joke is that? She's not here to sign a selling contract.

Giving Xuan Mei a single order every month was already her biggest concession.

"Who knew that Ye Ziyu shook his head directly, a dangerous gleam in the smile on his face: “What sincerity? I’m not sure. All I know is that I represent the Xuanmei Group to settle accounts with the hackers who came looking for trouble. Your actions have seriously endangered the security of the Xuanmei Group.”

He spoke slowly, and Yun Qingxi felt a chill run down her spine.

What?

Hacker?

She has never been a hacker!

The assistant beside her, Ye Yi, pointed to the computer in her hand: "Miss Yun, just now, you broke through Xuan Mei's firewall."

"So what?" Yun Qingxi's face darkened.

Wasn't it Ye Ziyu who just invited her to break through Xuan Mei's firewall?

"Therefore, your hacking behavior is undeniable. Next, I suggest you accept the conditions offered by Xuan Mei." Ye Yi continued.

“You guys are screwing me over!” Understanding dawned on Yun Qingxi, each word punctuated with a gritted tooth.

She was actually tricked by someone?

And still using such a poor method!

So, sometimes people who look good aren't necessarily trustworthy. Take Ye Ziyu for example, he's practically a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Your attack caused significant losses to the company, so I need an explanation." Ye Ziyu said in a calm tone.

Yun Qingxi patiently placated him, “Although I infiltrated Xuan Mei Group’s internal network, I didn’t access any data and didn’t cause any harm or loss. In fact, you could say I made a contribution by freely testing your company's firewall security and pointing out vulnerabilities for you to fix promptly. People like me who do good deeds without expecting anything in return are becoming rarer these days!”

There are quite a few reasons for this.

"So, it seems the Xuan Mei Group has quite a lot to thank you for?" Ye Ziyu's pale lips curled into a slight smile.

Although his voice didn't reveal any emotion, Yun Qingxi instinctively felt a sense of danger.

She immediately said, "Thanks, you don't need to. Also, I promise that I will never attack the Xuanmi Group's firewall again."

When it's time to take a step back, you have to take a step back. If there's a nail right in front of you and you still insist on stepping on it, that's what fools do!

But Ye Ziyu clearly wasn't going to be "merciful" to her: "It's too late. The Xuanmei Group is not something that can be provoked so easily. Since you did it, you should pay the price. Since you are so interested in Xuanmei's firewall, then you are responsible for rebuilding a solid firewall for the company to prevent hacker attacks."

What operation is this?

She wasn't planning on becoming Xuan Mei's employee, so why should she help them build a firewall? Had she misunderstood, or was he crazy?

"I won't, I refuse."

“Are you sure? Or would you like to wait for a subpoena from the court, so I can think about what crime stealing business secrets is?” Ye Ziyu looked at her with a smile.

Yúnqíng stared at him blankly.

With her eyes wide open, she's lying about stealing business secrets.

"Don't believe me? Let the computer make the conclusion."

Yun Qingxi immediately returned to her computer desk, where a file bearing the Xuan Mei Group's logo lay prominently.

"You... you're too despicable, how could you frame me?"

He clearly set a trap for her to fall into and he can still speak so righteously.

Yúnqíng is about to explode with anger. She can't believe she came here to see him! What was she thinking?

"Slander? No, at most it's self-assertion. So will you build a firewall now?" Ye Ziyu still asked calmly.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to know Yún Qíng Xī's answer.

Yun Qingxi:：“……”

My molars are itching, but hitting someone is illegal and I probably wouldn't win anyway.

So... endure, you must endure!

Building a firewall, are you? Today, she'll build one. It'll protect against fire, theft, and even your nighttime shenanigans, Yu!

"Yes, I will!" she nodded grimly.

"Very well." Ye Ziyu nodded.

The assistant on the side handed over the contract again.

Yun Qingxi:：“……”

This was the first time she signed her name, and a sense of suppressed anger welled up inside her. She would make this self-important man pay for what he had done, sooner or later!

Ten minutes later, the two left the coffee shop, the contract signed.

Outside, the snow was swirling. Yun Qingxi didn't have any mood to appreciate it at all. She refused Ye Ziyu's offer to send her home, instead walking back with one of the two copies of the work contracts in hand.

As soon as she got home, she took off her shoes and coat, and collapsed onto the sofa.

She, Yun Qingxi, who was as bright as the sun, was unexpectedly betrayed and fell victim to a cunning scheme.

"Ye Ziyu..." Yun Qingxi gritted her teeth and muttered the name.

This is truly the most repulsive face she's ever seen in her life!

Meanwhile, Han Jing's villa, study.

"Grandfather, how could anyone even think of harming such a young girl?" Ye Yi asked, sounding puzzled.

Had he not sent someone to investigate cloud's personal information, he would have been unaware that there was a reward of one million dollars in Longcheng for just one of cloud's hands.

"No one knows that the code behind this is a little girl's movie." Ye Ziyu said lightly.

As for the reason she was offered a reward for both hands, it is probably because those hackers she defeated, and the forces behind them, felt resentment and wanted revenge.

Where there is light, there is darkness. This little girl has offended some people she shouldn't have.

This is also the reason why he "accused" her of attacking Xuan Mei's firewall and forced her to sign.

In the entire city of Longcheng, only Xuan Mei could possibly protect her.

And she remained in the dark, utterly oblivious.

Ye Zi Pei thought about it, it seemed so. Few people knew that behind this code name was a little girl.

"By the way, Grandpa, in a few days it will be Young Master Ye Jiu's birthday. Young Master Zi Rui and Miss Tiantian will be there at that time."

Ye Ziyu nodded. "Prepare a grand gift, I'll go myself."

"Yes." Ye Zi Pei nodded respectfully.
