Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Do I Need to Explain Further?
Both Su Luo and Su Jue were caught off guard.
Everyone in their profession knew that revealing one’s identity was taboo, as it could invite a host of troubles. Although they didn’t know much, this was the first time they had seen a master programmer take the initiative to start a video call.
“Could it be someone we know?” Su Luo suddenly had this thought.
Su Jue hurriedly called a halt, “How could it be such a coincidence?! After all, you are his student, and Grandpa also knows him. It’s just a video call, not a big deal.”
After speaking, he optimistically added, “Psychology has shown that face-to-face communication greatly improves the chance of success. If you say a few nice things to the teacher, maybe he’ll agree to take the job.”
Su Luo nodded at these words.
Yet, she suddenly felt uneasy, unable to pinpoint what was wrong.
She sent a message: [Okay, teacher.]
After sending it, she clicked on the video invite, and the screen displayed a waiting for the other party to accept.
She casually straightened her hair and clothes, sitting upright in front of the computer.
Su Jue stepped back a few paces to avoid appearing in the camera’s view.
The screen showed the connection was successful.
Su Luo took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably nervous.
The other party seemed to be adjusting the camera, with the lens shaking and flipping, making the image unclear.
She waited patiently.
Finally, a figure appeared on the other side, but what caught her eye first were a pair of slender legs clad in Kunpeng School Uniform pants.
She was so taken aback that she stared wide-eyed at the screen, watching as the person leisurely took a seat, and saw a familiar face, nonchalant and cocky, appear before the camera!
Her brain froze for a few seconds.
After snapping back to reality, she pushed her chair back violently, sliding to a very distant position.
It was as if she had seen some ferocious beast, a mix of shock, fear, and disbelief, all chaotically entwined.
In that moment, she had tossed the demeanor of the Su Family’s haughty princess clear across the Milky Way Galaxy.
Su Jue was utterly confused. He had never seen his sister lose her composure ; she was always so proud and confident. Puzzled, he pushed her chair back to the desk and asked with a smile, “What’s the matter with you? Are you nervous?”
Su Luo grabbed Su Jue with a trembling voice and stared at him, “Brother, it’s Lu Mian!”
Su Jue didn’t understand and, seeing his sister’s panic, he took a look at the camera himself.
Their conversation and movements were all observed by the other side, a familiar and mischievous chuckle coming through.
The person on the other side leisurely said, “Yes, I am the ordinary student Lu Mian that you speak of, full of flaws, not of the virtuous kind.”
Her tone was as calm as normal conversation, but every word pierced into Su Jue’s ears, rupturing his eardrums and penetrating his brain.
Su Jue staggered back, crashing into the bookshelf and almost tripping.
His condition was no better than Su Luo’s.
The siblings looked at each other in shock, wondering what on earth was going on!
Had they engaged the wrong way?
How could Lu Mian be on the other side?
The Lu Mian here was calm, fingers twirling around her hair while another hand spun a pen, that rebellious and unruly smirk piercing through the camera to their side.
She put it succinctly, “The situation is that you guys wanted to hire a programmer to hack me, and it turns out that this programmer is myself.”
The siblings’ faces turned red and then pale, their astonishment reaching its peak.
Lu Mian is… a programmer?!
She sighed languidly, “Do you need more of an explanation?”
