Sitting before the computer he began typing swiftly.
Ten minutes later, interception signals appeared on Gu Si’s computer. He was one step away from hacking in. Unwilling to give up, he gave it another try but still failed.
Gu Si rolled up his sleeves. “I don’t believe this.”
He kept a straight face and tried hacking a few more times but to no avail
In the Shadow League headquarters, Lin Shuang and Yun Ling finally felt some comfort in their hearts. Even though they were outperformed by Gu Mang, it was not that embarrassing.
Gu Si abashedly went to look for Gu Mang. “Sis, I couldn’t hack into it.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. If Gu Si had hacked into it, the other two’s careers could come to an end.
She responded with nonchalance, “How is it at the field operations zone?”
Gu Si was initially reflecting on his failure but upon hearing her question, his unhappiness, which had been accumulating for a month, exploded. “Sis, you have no idea. It was really tough on me! Those nutritionists only let me eat a little meat everyday! I’ve gotten skinnier from starving!”
The girl smiled sinisterly. “Meat is expensive.”
“Our field operations camp has ten pigs!” Whenever it was his turn to feed the pigs, he would always think of whether he should stir fry them or braise them in soy sauce. It was too difficult for him to be able to see but not eat them.
A faint smile appeared in Gu Mang’s eyes.
Gu Si sat on the chair with his legs in the air as he touched his flattened tummy. “I want to eat meat.”
“Do you have breaks?” asked Gu Mang.
When he heard her words, he instantly knew that his sister was bringing him to eat meat. He replied instantly, “Yes, yes, yes. I still have two days of break this month. Sis, I want to eat at World Restaurant!”
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes. He was quite demanding. “Let’s go this weekend. It’s Lei Cong’s birthday.”
Gu Si counted the days and frowned in frustration.
After his parents passed away, his maternal grandparents began looking after their tombs. Lei Cong always celebrated his birthdays grandly and his grandparents had set the rule that all family members had to be present a long time ago.
That uncle of his had seven older daughters. He had eight children just to have one son. It was evident that Lei Cong, as the only grandson, was valued very highly. Everybody’s birthday could be forgotten except for Lei Cong’s.
Furthermore, his grandmother’s extended family had many members and the different families loved to compete with each other. How annoying.
He rolled his eyes. “Sis, to tell the truth, I don’t want to go but it seems like that won’t work.”
The girl replied lazily, “Mm.”
She threw her phone casually on the bed and opened the English medical dictionary. She flipped to where the bookmark was and continued reading.
Since she started having memories at a young age, she noticed that she was gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory and could pick things up very fast.
She excelled at whatever she learned. Gu Si was just like her.
…
The next afternoon.
Gu Mang met Gu Yin while returning cutleries and the latter mentioned Lei Cong’s birthday this weekend.
“Sister, which school is Gu Si at?” Gu Si smiled gently as she asked.
Gu Mang was taller than her. She shot Gu Si a tepid glance and her eyes were cold. “Don’t be a busybody, I’ll bring him there.”
Gu Yin’s smile froze.
Gu Mang put her hands in her pocket and left unhurriedly.
Her phone rang and she fished it out. Sheng Ting had sent her a message.
“Several agencies are trying to get your contact info from me. I think they’re trying to sign you.”
Ming City High School was a semi-enclosed, old aristocratic school. Police officers regularly patrolled outside the school and the agents dared not look for her. He predicted that once the MV was released the agencies would fight to sign Gu Mang. Even his boss tried to utilize his connections to sign Gu Mang.
Her stunning beauty and her skills as a choreographer made her the ultimate existence in the entertainment industry.
They were all rich and powerful but for some unknown reason, they could not get Gu Mang’s contact information.
