Chapter 598: Chapter 597: Sly Old Fox, Online Flirting…
As the startup screen lit up, Dong Li’s phone regained its function and was completely fine.
Lu Mian handed the phone back to Dong Li.
Playing with his restored phone, Dong Li was overjoyed, “It really works!
Miss Lu, you’re amazing, you fixed it in no time!”
He had tried restarting it many times before, but to no avail.
Xin Yuelu had some words left to say, but she swallowed them back down, as if she had been slapped in the face.
With his unkempt sparse hair, Dong Li humbly sought advice, “Miss Lu, what exactly was wrong with my phone?
Why couldn’t I turn it on?”
Lu Mian lifted her chin slightly, speaking as if it was all a trifle.
“The phone itself was fine, it was just an app running incorrectly that affected the system.
I just messed with it a bit, it was quite simple.”
What seemed like an overly tense situation to Xin Yuelu, Uncle Xin, and Pu Zongyang, was a trivial matter in Lu Mian’s hands,
She diagnosed the issue in seconds and solved it perfectly.
Pu Zongyang, who had previously accused her of pretending to know what she was doing, was now quiet as a deflated eggplant.
Lu Mian lowered her lashes thoughtfully and decided to add, “But, you should still pay more attention to online safety.
Uncle Xin was right, you can never be too careful.”
She was still giving face to Uncle Xin and the others.
“Yes, thank you, Miss Lu!”
Everyone watched as Lu Mian walked away and lost interest in the spectacle, each bowing their heads to focus on their own meals.
It took a while for Xin Yuelu to retract her gaze.
Pu Zongyang snorted disdainfully, “Even a blind cat finds a dead rat.
What’s there to boast about with such petty tricks?”
Lu Mian returned to Xiao Qimo’s room and placed several small dishes one by one on the coffee table.
“Director Qimo, have some food while it’s hot.
No matter how busy, you have to eat.”
Xiao Qimo’s gaze shifted from the Photoshop program on the computer screen to another page.
His version of busy was just editing photos for his baby.
He stood up and walked over, having constantly timed, he expressed his concern, “Why were you gone for so long?”
“Oh, something happened in the dining room.” Lu Mian was not one to tattle, so she gave a brief response.
Xiao Qimo didn’t pry further.
“Right, Director Qimo, let me borrow your computer later to optimize the application layer firewall.”
“I’ve noticedaEUR|” Lu Mian thought of Dong Li’s phone, “that there are quite a lot of ads on everyone’s phones.”
Messy ads and links are the easiest way to invade a phone, so it’s always good to be prepared in advance.
“Then just have Uncle Xin notify those people and cut off their phones’ internet access,” Xiao Qimo was even more ruthless in taking action, directly cutting off the source.
Lu Mian chuckled and quickly stopped him.
That could easily lead to unrest.
Just let them focus on their research.”
Everyone has their own expertise.
Their strength is in medical research, and in the field of network security that they don’t understand, they could become overly apprehensive, just like Uncle Xin’s overreaction earlier.
The reason she hadn’t said anything downstairs was also to avoid disturbing their peace of mind.
She would not use what she was good at to attack others in areas they were not.
“You little rascalaEUR|” Xiao Qimo sighed while fondly ruffling her hair, “You appear to be arrogant and untamed, but deep down, you’re the gentlest and kindest person.”
“aEUR|” Lu Mian tilted her head, disagreeing, “Director Qimo, my heart is very dark, and you’ll find out sooner or later.
Of course, it’s better if you never find out.”
“No problem, I’m darker than you.”
Lu Mian twitched the corner of her mouth: Was thisaEUR| self-deprecation in business?
After eating, Lu Mian busied herself with the keyboard.
By the time she finished, it was time to sleep.
After washing up, Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo lay on opposite sides of the same bed, both unable to fall asleep.
The refined gentleman had long been restless, his thoughts drifting.
When he noticed that Lu Mian was also still awake, a trace of hidden joy flashed through his heart.
This girl hasn’t slept yet, could she be thinking about…
He cleared his throat softly, “Baby, shall we move closer?”
The cunning old fox was slowly revealing his tail, flirting online.
Lu Mian “ah”ed, her big eyes blinking in the dark night, and she asked with concern, “Director Qimo, are you uncomfortable over there?”
“Of course,” Xiao Qimo turned over, thinking that if they were to sleep closer together, he would be comfortable.
As he pondered, a warm image had already formed in his mind.
But all he heard was a long sigh from the girl next door.
“I knew it…” the girl said helplessly.
Xiao Qimo moistened his dry, thin lips: Mm, rare for you to be aware, then perhaps…
I think I’ll sleep on the floor instead.”
“Hmm?” He turned his head in the darkness to look next door.
The girl next door smiled slightly and had already automatically stepped off the bed.
“My presence here affects your rest, and I even make you sleep uncomfortably,” she explained seriously and earnestly.
Xiao Qimo: That’s not what I meant at all!
Lu Mian was efficiently laying out the bedding on the floor, saying, “I have a robust physique, am resistant to falls and tough treatment; tossing and turning doesn’t affect me.
On the other hand, you’ve been pampered from childhood, so precious and peerless.
After comprehensive analysis, I am definitely the most suitable person to sleep on the floor.”
Lu Mian was determined to believe that she would disturb Xiao Qimo’s rest and absolutely wouldn’t let him suffer any discomfort.
Xiao Qimo: …Mom, I really tried, but I can’t flirt!
The man lay flat on the bed, his eyes blankly staring at the dark ceiling; he thought his face must be just as black.
Look at her, with that attitude of “excellent women should take on the responsibility of protecting their boyfriends”, there’s no way this romance can continue!
He wanted to get married!
Once married, he’d see where she could run!
The farm was already in chaos early in the morning, with many people gathered at the entrance, busy with something.
Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo came downstairs just to see several people who hadn’t yet gone to the laboratory, hurried on their way.
Xin Uncle stood in the center of the living room, seemingly directing the people coming and going.
Seeing them come down, he quickly approached.
Xiao Qimo frowned, clearly not fond of the noise this early in the morning, “What’s happening?”
Xin Uncle sheepishly glanced at Lu Mian, “A cold snap hit unexpectedly last night, and some of the plants in the farm weren’t properly protected, they’ve been damaged by the frost…”
As he spoke, his voice trailed off, and he looked at Lu Mian with a guilty conscience.
Xiao Qimo, unaware of what had happened last night at the restaurant, didn’t take the loss to heart.
“Save what can be saved, and let go of what can’t.
Your main job isn’t these plants.
As long as the seedlings underground aren’t affected, it’s fine.”
Xin Uncle thought to himself that Mr.
Xiao was indeed magnanimous, not worried about such matters, making him feel even guiltier.
He looked at Lu Mian, bowing his head in apology, “I’ve been negligent.
Miss Lu reminded me yesterday, but I only did some basic protection.
I didn’t expect the temperature to drop so sharply…”
With that said, Xiao Qimo suddenly understood something and interrupted him with a serious expression.
