Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
A cold and distant girl’s voice could be heard. “Sorry, I’m late.”
A few pairs of eyes were directed towards the door.
Luo Qing had met Qiao Nian twice and was no longer shocked by her face.
Bo Jingxing and Zhou Wei were seeing Qiao Nian for the first time.
This girl looked even younger than they imagined!
The black hoodie looked good on her slim figure. Her legs were long and straight, and her cap emphasized her small but exquisite face.
She was very fair, almost like porcelain, and extremely eye-catching.
Jiang Li’s cousin was too beautiful!
This was Bo Jingxing’s first impression. After that, all that was left was worry.
He hadn’t expected Qiao Nian to look so beautiful. Also, given her looks and aura, she definitely was not the type to be a mugger.
A girl really managed to stop the attack from the computer chip and even counter-hack their rivals as Luo Qing said?
Qiao Nian had no idea what they were thinking but noticed that there were a few more people in the ward today. She didn’t react much. She simply took off her earphones and walked towards them.
“Miss Qiao.” Gu San greeted her politely.
“Mm.” Qiao Nian acknowledged his greeting and walked towards them, saying in a familiar manner, “There was a jam on the way, lasted about 30 minutes.”
Gu San smiled and said rather cheekily, “I guessed so. Otherwise, you would’ve sent me a message.”
Luo Qing went to greet the girl as well. “Miss Qiao, I didn’t think we would meet again so soon. I said I’d give you a treat the next time we meet, looks like we’ll have to push it back further…”
He was embarrassed that his promise was not fulfilled.
At this point, he felt bad looking at Qiao Nian in the eye.
That was mainly because he was afraid she’d ask him about swallowing the laptop.
The good thing was that Qiao Nian never mentioned this. This made him feel much better.
“We can talk about the treat next time.” Qiao Nian didn’t bother with the small talk. She found a seat, placed her cell phone on the table, then turned to Gu San and said succinctly, “Didn’t you want me to look at some code? Where is it, let me see it.”
Zhou Wei finally snapped back to her senses. With a strange smile, without Gu San to nudge her, she quickly handed the Ninth Branch laptop to her.
“Here it is, this is the code. There seems to be a problem with the source code, it can’t run.”
She couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. She simply did not believe that a high school student could solve a problem that the entire Ninth Branch could not.
Qiao Nian took the laptop from her and did not ask what the code was about. Her fingers danced about the keyboard as she kept her eyes fixed on the screen.
Luo Qing was worried that she wouldn’t be able to solve it and kindly said, “This is an automated system code. It’s rather complicated. Have a look at it, but if you can’t solve it, it’s alright…”
After all, Qiao Nian was only eighteen. She had tons of possibilities in the future.
There was no need to crush the confidence of a genius with just one code.
Qiao Nian’s eyes were cold as she nodded. She was completely immersed in the complicated code as her fingers did their work on the keyboard.
She did not say a word.
Twenty minutes passed.
She still looked as carefree as before and remained silent.
