“Look at that girl sitting in the office; she’s the one Manager Shen arranged to get in through the back door. I wonder which family’s daughter she is. I heard even Miss Yuan San got turned away just now. Does she have a more powerful background than Miss Yuan San?”
“I don’t know, but that girl really is pretty. She must be from a family that arranged for her to come here and build a rapport with President Yuan of
Tianye Technology, right? Otherwise, why would Manager Shen be so polite?”
Two women holding resumes spoke mockingly as they looked in Wen Xin’s direction. They felt that someone like Wen Xin, who was beautiful, was merely a vase without real talent, just someone who climbed the ranks through her looks.
Wen Xin glanced at the time, disinterested in the interviews. She was here today merely to discuss with Yuan Junye the robot program she wanted to develop. She sent him a message, asking how much longer the people in his office would take to leave.
Yuan Junye replied quickly. Today’s unexpected visit from Mu Chengxu caught him off guard. Given Mu Chengxu’s status, Yuan Junye couldn’t simply turn her away, so he asked Wen Xin to wait a little longer. “Give me another half-hour.’
“Okay, then I’ll go check out the tech department.”
Wen Xin put on her mask, grabbed her backpack, and prepared to visit the tech department, leaving Shen Dian’s office.
As she passed by the recruitment room, a girl, fuming with anger, came out, grabbed Wen Xin’s arm, and dragged her inside.
“I don’t accept this. Even if I’m not hired, I can’t tolerate someone getting in through the back door at Tianye Technology. I want to challenge her. If I win, I demand another assessment opportunity. If I lose, I’ll leave right away.”
When the girl dragged Wen Xin in, the executives in the meeting room were all shocked to see Wen Xin. They were surprised that the big boss had appeared at the company and was mistaken for a backdoor entry by a job applicant. “Uh… Miss, we understand how you feel, but she is not…”
“I accept…” Wen Xin knew the recruitment rules of Tianye Company, which allowed for healthy competition to better stimulate the potential of the candidates.
Wen Xin walked to a computer, casually placed her backpack and folder on the table, pulled out a chair with her foot, and sat down, smiling at the aggressive girl.
“You can tell me what you’re good at. How do you want to challenge me?”
Wen Xin was in a good mood today, and facing a challenge, she was willing to play along. It had been a long time since she had met someone with the audacity to challenge her.
The panel of interviewers were all in shock. Kenyatta taking action? The challenger was probably going to be obliterated.
“I’m very knowledgeable in software programming, but I also have another identity. I am part of a hacker alliance, and I’ve won third place at the Black Hat
Conference. Let’s start by challenging hacking skills.”
The girl spoke of her expertise with confidence, seeing this as her last stand. She wouldn’t let this chance slip by; she was determined to use this backdoor entrant as a stepping stone.
Hearing about Gu Xiang’s hacking skills, Wen Xin’s posture relaxed further, her expression casual as she raised an eyebrow. It had been so long since she paid attention to the hacker alliance that she had almost forgotten about it. She was unaware that a twenty-something girl was third at the Black Hat Conference.
“Alright, I accept. Let’s use your hacking skills for the challenge. I’m quite interested to see your abilities.”
Wen Xin’s nonchalant attitude irritated Gu Xiang, who felt utterly disregarded and belittled.
Gu Xiang sat down with a smug smile. Her goal had been achieved.
She had intentionally failed to crack the program code to be eliminated, all to challenge Wen Xin directly. She wouldn’t give any chances to someone who got in through the back door; she relished the thrill of shaming someone publicly.
Wen Xin, looking down, replied to a message from Mu Chengxi. It seemed he had just finished his work and was asking if she had time for lunch, as Ling Yichen wanted to thank her for helping Ling Xu’er.
“No time at noon. I still have business to attend to. How about dinner…”
“Okay, then let’s have dinner together.” Mu Chengxi’s reply came back fast. Wen Xin’s lips curled slightly; it seemed Mu Chengxi had been waiting for her reply.
Hacking techniques are about comparing firewall breaches, viruses, or targeted attacks. Gu Xiang, as a professional hacker, was very familiar with them.
“I don’t know what level you’re at, but…” Gu Xiang glanced at Wen Xin, her eyes slightly upturned in a rather arrogant expression, “as long as you can breach the first layer of the firewall before I do, you win.”
This was the first time Wen Xin had encountered someone wanting to compete with her in computer technology. She found Gu Xiang’s boldness quite amusing.
She chuckled nonchalantly, raising her eyebrows slightly, “Okay.”
Hearing Gu Xiang’s words, the interviewers sitting opposite were internally anxious for her. They wanted to remind her who she was challenging, but seeing Wen Xin’s cheerful demeanor, no one dared to speak.
Everyone in the conference room watched Gu Xiang with excitement. Although they were elites from various tech companies and excelled in program coding, they were still far from being professional hackers, let alone ranked participants in the Black Hat Conference.
Suddenly, someone understood why Gu Xiang hadn’t been able to crack the program code just now. With her abilities, she would have easily solved it—unless she had deliberately chosen to challenge Wen Xin.
“She did it on purpose. She wants to challenge the one who got in through the back door…”
“I noticed right away. Her casual demeanor while decoding wasn’t due to inability; it was intentional.”
“Why? Do they have some kind of feud? Is there some grievance between them?”
“No idea about a feud, but it seems she’s targeting the one who got in through the back door. This time, it’s going to be quite a show. That backdoor entrant doesn’t seem to realize how serious this is. Look at her attitude…”
Shen Dian suddenly stood up from the interviewer’s seat, approached Gu Xiang, and asked with a complex expression, “Are you sure you want to challenge her?”
“I’m sure. If I succeed, I want a chance for reassessment. If she wins, I’ll accept defeat wholeheartedly. ”
Gu Xiang’s face revealed a mysterious smile as she looked at Wen Xin. She was confident of not failing; she intended to make Wen Xin leave in disgrace..
