Chapter 287: Chapter 286: I’m Not Angry, And Even If I Were, It Wouldn’t Be With Her
Lu Mian turned back to look at him, the helplessness in her clear eyes deepened. Did that mean Xiao Qimo also had a hand in this matter?
“Oh? How is it different now?” Lu Mian’s interest rose slightly.
The man took two steps forward, pride coloring his tone, “It’s nothing much, just caused the Bai Family a bit of trouble.”
Ye Jinwen: Seventh brother, can you honestly call that a bit of trouble? You almost bankrupted them, okay? We just gave a verbal warning, but you took real action!
Hey, wait a minute, didn’t Little Mianmian just say that aside from Old Su, someone else also called the Bai Family? Now I’m curious…
“Little Mianmian, how did you manage to do it?” So many people were helping her at the same time.
Lu Mian claimed innocence, “I didn’t do anything…” And she had originally planned to take matters into her own hands.
Xiao Qimo looked at the girl who was unaffected by the trending searches, feeling temporarily relieved. As he passed by her, he ruffled the back of her head, “I won’t remove the trending topic for now. We’ll deal with that after the Bai Family apologizes to you.”
“Alright, as you wish.” She could totally be a hands-off shopkeeper now, then she offered a radiant smile, “Thank you, Director Qimo.”
Xiao Qimo pushed his glasses up, “You’re welcome.”
Ye Jinwen: Why not thank me? Was my phone call worthless?
He sulked and sat down at the dining table with a meal container, spotting a bag from MM Ji Restaurant and clicking his tongue, “Little Mianmian, did you go out of your way to buy this?”
He deliberately emphasized the words “out of your way,” winking at Xiao Qimo with a suggestive look.
He had really been worried that Lu Mian would bring back cafeteria food, knowing that with Seventh Brother’s fussiness, he definitely wouldn’t enjoy it.
Xiao Qimo’s eyes also lit up slightly.
Unaware of their private exchange of glances, Lu Mian opened the boxes leisurely, one after another, and casually said, “Hmm… It wasn’t really on purpose. The cafeteria didn’t have the burger I wanted, so I went there instead.”
Xiao Qimo: I’m not angry, and even if I were, I wouldn’t be mad at the little rascal.
The light in his eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses flickered, and then he turned his gaze to Ye Jinwen, “We don’t have that many chopsticks at home.”
Ye Jinwen’s breath caught, damn it!
However, Lu Mian just smiled, her apricot eyes filled with a teasing tone of “I knew it would be .” She pulled out a set of chopsticks from the bottom of the bag and handed them to a despairing Ye Jinwen.
“Go and sterilize them in the kitchen.”
“Chopsticks?! So many chopsticks?!” Ye Jinwen, who had thought he’d miss out on a meal again, now felt like hugging Lu Mian in a flood of gratitude as he rushed to the kitchen to sterilize the chopsticks.
Lu Mian explained, “Yuren brought a set of chopsticks for my home before, and this time I casually fetched a set for you. It’s convenient!”
Xiao Qimo smiled and barely managed to say thanks.
I’m not angry, and even if I were, I wouldn’t be mad at the little rascal!
He quietly returned to the bedroom and operated the computer for a while before feeling slightly better.
Bai Shuren rushed back to Bai Corporation with the utmost speed. Along the way, his secretary kept him updated on the current situation of Bai Corporation, word by word, making his heart race with fear.
There was no worst news, only worse news.
By the time he arrived at the IT department his brother, Bai Shuli, was already keeping watch.
Bai Corporation was in a severe crisis, stocks were momentarily uncontrollable, and losing orders weren’t the most urgent issue.
The gravest concern was that the internal systems had been hacked.
This hacker uncovered numerous vulnerabilities, but unlike others, he didn’t take the chance to demand a sum of money to fix them. Instead, he made a request.
“Apologize to Lu Mian. For every hour delayed, a vulnerability will be disclosed to the public.”
