At this moment, the Gu Corporation was in chaos. It was already dark and they were about to get off work, but because of the sudden alarm, everyone’s way of getting off work was blocked.
“The firewall is being breached. All technicians are not allowed to leave.” An old man stood beside the desk and said sternly.
“Team Leader, bad news. They’ve already broken through the first firewall!”
As a person in front of the desk raised his hand and shouted this sentence, the crowd became even more flustered. They were flustered and had to be on guard.
“This technique is so familiar. It seems to be the same person from last time,” another person said.
“Wait, why don’t they seem to be attacking anymore?”
“They must be trying to catch us off guard. No one is allowed to leave tonight. All of you, camp in front of the computer and guard it. Don’t let them break through.” The person who spoke at the beginning glanced at everyone’s faces sternly, his tone unquestionable.
However, time passed bit by bit. It had been nearly an hour, but there was no movement. Someone could not hold on anymore. “Team Leader, there’s been no movement for an hour. Why don’t you let us go? That person might not be able to break through. After all, this was bought at a high price.”
The team leader’s expression wavered, but when he thought of being reprimanded by Gu Yuan, he immediately shook his shoulders. “Everyone let’s just camp here tonight. I’ll increase your salary.”
Immediately, there were bitter cries. Of course, no one left. They were all staring at the computer with high concentration. Little did they know that the person who had broken in at the beginning was already lying in bed and asleep.
Gu Man did not expect that just by breaking through the first level, the small employees of the Gu Corporation would stay up all night.
She rolled over and looked at the time on her phone. She stretched and sat up.
It was the weekend today, so she could sleep until she woke up naturally. After Gu Man woke up, she pushed open the door of the room and walked out. As usual, breakfast was already prepared.
However, the atmosphere outside the hall was very different. Everyone looked very excited, especially Huang Jue.
He sat happily at the dining table and shook his legs. When he saw Gu Man, Huang Yixin became even more excited and jumped out of his chair.
“Sister!” Huang Jue was overjoyed. “I passed!”
The corners of Gu Man’s lips curled up. Although she already knew the outcome, she was inevitably infected by this happy mood.
Grandma also smiled and waved at the two of them with a smile. “Come and eat quickly. Huang Jue, don’t make a fuss. You have to calm down.”
Although she said that, the smile on her grandmother’s face deepened her wrinkles and made her look even more amiable.
After breakfast, Gu Man suddenly received a call from Old Master Cui. Her cell phone kept vibrating, and the name displayed on the cell phone was seen by others. Instantly, everyone at the dining table was focused on the cell phone, except Gu Man.
She slowly took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. Finally, she picked up her phone, swiped it, picked it up, and put it on speaker.
“Girl, it’s been a long time since you’ve come to see an old man like me.” Old Master Cui chuckled. Although he sounded like he was complaining, his voice did not sound angry at all.
“It’s just the holidays.” Gu Man’s attitude was cold.
Grandma nudged her and mouthed, “Be nice.”
In her grandmother’s heart, the Cui family was an existence they looked up to. Although Old Master Cui doted on Gu Man very much now, it was difficult to guarantee that it would be the same in the future. Therefore, she hoped that Gu Man would be more obedient and hold onto Old Master Cui so that he could completely acknowledge her as his granddaughter.
Gu Man glanced at her grandmother and smiled helplessly. She continued, “Grandpa, 1’11 go over later.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Master Cui’s especially happy voice sounded. “Alright, as expected, you’re filial. Coincidentally, there’s a banquet this afternoon. Gu Man, come with me.”
After the call ended, Grandma said in a panic, “Manman, buy some gifts for Old Master Cui this afternoon. With his status, he doesn’t have to attend such a banquet at all. He brought you there because he wants to introduce you to his connections..”
