Chapter 77: Losing Both Face and Money
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wait a minute!
Hacker S bent down to look at the computer screen. His previous confident declaration was suddenly stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Could it be that he was seeing things?
The code Mei Shu typed out was actually identical to what he had written just now!
How was that possible?
S rubbed his eyes in disbelief, uncertain, and then let out an incredulous howl, “Impossible! Did you secretly copy and paste while 1 wasn’t paying attention?”
Mei Shu gave him an indescribable expression, with a smile on her face, and uncertainly asked, “Can your code be copied and pasted? That’s a method I didn’t think of!”
S blushed embarrassedly.
He was indeed a bit unreasonable just now.
Mei Shu did indeed type out this string of code right under his and Lu Yan’s noses. How could it be the result of copy-pasting?
The only explanation was that Mei Shu was really a genius, with a photographic memory, able to grasp this technology even faster than he did.
Realizing this, S felt a bit frustrated but also somewhat excited. “Do you do this in other areas too? Can you learn anything just by seeing it once?”
Mei Shu didn’t dare to boast about knowing everything. That would be too showy. But seeing S’s astonished expression, she nodded with satisfaction. “I can’t say for other areas, but when it comes to hacking technology, it seems to be the case.”
Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
This girl was quite cunning!
Even he could figure out her intentions!
It seemed she really wanted to learn hacking techniques from S!
S happened to need a powerful assistant for this system he was working on. Hearing her words, he became excited and said, “I can teach you, and I won’t charge you any tuition fees. But after you learn, 1 hope you can help me with the new system. Don’t worry. Once the system is launched, you’ll get a share of the profits!”
“Okay.” Mei Shu naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Although she didn’t know how capable S really was, Lu Yan trusted him, indicating that he had considerable skills.
Moreover, they were all peers, and there was no generation gap between them in their speech and actions. Mei Shu was happy to join.
But before that, there was one thing she needed to do.
“So, first call me ‘Master,’ then transfer one million to my account, and then we can start the class.” Mei Shu said confidently.
Hacker S was immediately stunned. He slapped his forehead, just remembering the bet he had foolishly made with her earlier.
This was truly lifting a stone and smashing one’s own foot!
S’s face turned as unsightly as if he had eaten rotten vegetables.
However, Mei Shu didn’t show any sign of backing down. On the contrary, she said with assurance, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to keep your word now? If
I had lost just now and showed that expression, would you let me go?”
Of course not!
Now, S looked completely deflated like a punctured balloon, even his shoulders drooped, and he reluctantly called out, “Master.”
“What? Can’t hear you!” IVIei Shu looked at him with a teasing smile.
S suddenly felt embarrassed in front of Lu Yan. He took a deep breath and then loudly shouted, “Master! I was wrong! I’ll never dare to look down on you again, alright?!”
Mei Shu was amused and nodded. “Well, in that case, this time I’ll spare you. Don’t look down on others easily next time. Remember to transfer the money to my account, and we’ll learn the technology another day!”
“Huh? You’re not going to learn today?” S suddenly felt a bit reluctant to let this girl go.
He attributed this bit of reluctance to his desire for talented individuals.
Mei Shu smiled and said, “It’s getting late. I need to go home first. Send me the surveillance records later on my phone. You can definitely find my social account, right?”
Of course, in front of S, almost no one had privacy. If he wanted to check, there was nothing he couldn’t find.
However, there were some people he didn’t dare to investigate even if he had the ability!
Like Master Si of the Lu family!
Even after spending so much time in the Lu family, S had never met him!
Seeing Mei Shu about to leave, Lu Yan quickly got up to see her off. “Why don’t you have dinner with us? My mother just said she’d like to have you stay for dinner.”
“No, it’s alright. I don’t want to trouble your mom. You don’t have to see me off either; I can go back on my own.” Mei Shu was eager to go back because it was time to check her two younger brothers’ homework!
If she wasn’t at home, she had no idea if those two guys would goof off and play around!
Mei Jing was about to take the high school entrance exam, and there wasn’t much time left to waste!
Seeing this, Lu Yan could only let her leave. The two walked downstairs side by side and happened to come across Qin Qin sitting leisurely in the living room. “Leaving so soon?” Qin Qian’s attitude towards Mei Shu wasn’t warm, more like a perfunctory coldness.
Mei Shu nodded lightly, “Auntie Qin, I’m sorry for the long disturbance. I have something at home, so I’ll leave first. I’ll bring a gift and come visit Uncle and Auntie in person another day.”
Only then did Qin Qian’s face ease up a bit, “Alright, let All Yan accompany you back.”
In this situation, if Mei Shu refused again, it would be impolite. She could only agree..
