Lu Mian finished speaking, and Xun Xiaoran thought for a few seconds.
“If you don’t give it, just wait,” Lu Mian was also very decisive and didn’t insist.
Cheng Feng glanced at Lu Mian, then at the by-the-book Xun Xiaoran, and decisively snatched the notebook from Xun Xiaoran’s hands and handed it to Lu Mian.
“Xiaoran, you’re way too cautious.
What could a young girl possibly know?
Not everyone you meet is an enemy spy, you know?” Cheng Feng was clearly annoyed with his team captain.
Xun Xiaoran shook his head—it wasn’t impossible.
Moreover, the team rules were clear; it was not good for them to keep in contact with this girl too much.
If the big boss saw them, they’d be unable to explain.
He coughed lightly and silently recited the team rules to himself.
Cheng Feng, on the other hand, didn’t care at all.
He leaned against the door frame, smiling broadly as spring breeze, “Little sister, what’s your name?
What’s your relationship with Mr.
Qi?”
His heart fluttered like that of a young man, and just as he tilted his head, he heard the girl opposite him purse her lips, tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear while focusing on the computer, and still managed to toss him a particularly icy warning.
“Please keep it down, thank you.”
“…” Cheng Feng was awkwardly embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose.
Lu Mian held the laptop in one hand and had already adopted a posture that suggested she was seeing them out.
Xun Xiaoran immediately pulled Cheng Feng, whose heart had just been broken, towards the corridor.
Cheng Feng, feeling wronged, covered his chest.
As he was being dragged away, he turned to give instructions in a voice that was very, very small.
“Little sister, tell Mr.
Qi to send the solution directly to the team’s email; the address is on the computer.”
Xun Xiaoran walked a great distance, looked around to ensure there was no trace of the big boss, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was the kind of student who strictly followed the teacher’s instructions during his school days.
Unless necessary, he wouldn’t have spoken to Lu Mian at all.
Lu Mian didn’t bother with them anymore and closed the door to her room with extra care.
She walked softly on the carpet and with the computer in her arms, she returned to the bedroom.
The first thing she did was look at the man sleeping by the bed.
Realizing he hadn’t woken up and that his breathing was even, she relaxed.
She placed the laptop on a small tea table beside the couch.
She curled up on the single sofa, planning to continue reading her novel.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the programming problem on the laptop; she paused, then picked up the laptop and placed it on her knees.
Her hands tapped absentmindedly on the keyboard, not moving as swiftly or decisively as before.
She typed at a snail’s pace to reduce the noise from the keystrokes.
She had seen that the problem the vice-captain had brought wasn’t difficult; it just needed to be approached with reverse engineering.
Director Qi was resting and she didn’t know when he would wake up, and even if he did, he likely wouldn’t want to deal with these problems.
A drunk man is hard to deal with; one must coax them gently.
Lu Mian tapped carefully on the keyboard, occasionally glancing towards the bed, a tenderness on her lips that even she didn’t notice, and in a manner as light as the wind and as easy as clouds, she solved the programming problem.
She sent it to the team email Cheng Feng had mentioned via the internal network.
Only then did she close the laptop, switched to her favorite novel, and quietly read.

Meanwhile, in the training room.
Xun Xiaoran and Cheng Feng had just gotten back to their seats, and before they had even warmed up their gaming chairs, they received a team email.
Cheng Feng, who was quick with his hands, saw that the ID was from the computer in Mr.
Qi’s room and found it strange.
“Mr.
Qi replied already?
That was fast!”
The teammates nearby who were training also gathered around, “Didn’t we just take it to Mr.
Qi?
It hasn’t been five minutes, has it?”
Someone slapped their thigh, “Man, the twenty of us have been at it for ages!
She solved it in five minutes?”
Xun Xiaoran also came over, propping up one arm, “Chengzi, you first open it and see if the solution is correct.”
Mr.
Qi’s speed was too fast, even their captain Yun Sang might not be able to compete with it.
Cheng Feng hurriedly opened the email and looked at the programming challenge.
After one glance, he slid right off the gaming chair and banged his knee on the floor.
“This is definitely a master!”
“Did he really get it right?!” Xun Xiaoran scrutinized it carefully.
The team members also started discussing amongst themselves, marveling at the feat.
“How did I not think of using reverse engineering before?
The fifth vulnerability was a trap?
No wonder I kept getting stuck at this point.”
“No, no, no, isn’t the key point that the other person only took five minutes?
That’s too amazing!”
Everyone finished looking at the problem and were all stunned, exchanging glances with each other.
“I always thought Mr.
Qi was just for show…”
“What do we do, I have this urge to change coaches.
Should we apply to have Mr.
Qi as our coach?”
A certain coach who had not yet returned from a meeting out of town suddenly sneezed.
——
Lucheng.
Inside a residential building.
After chatting with her childhood friend Shao Yunxuan, Fu Shuangshuang saw that it was dinner time.
She carried her phone to the living room.

Her father Fu Yao was sitting on the sofa watching TV while her mother Weng Xia brought out two dishes from the kitchen and simultaneously called out to the other room, “Xiaobin, time to eat.”
They were Lu Mian’s elder uncle’s family, that is, Fu Man’s older brother.
Back when Lu Xinnuan broke her arm and Fu Man was exhausted taking care of the two children, she sent Lu Mian over to her brother’s place to recuperate for a while.
At that time, the Fu Yao family lived in a small county town under Wucheng, all crammed into a bungalow, and economic conditions were not great, making life quite tight.
When Fu Man sent her child over, she gave them three hundred yuan, as Lu Mian’s living expenses.
Since Lu Mian ate little and did not have many expenses at the time, it was not supposed to add financial pressure to Fu Yao’s family.
At that time, Shao Yunxuan also lived in the same alley as them.
As she was about the same age as Fu Shuangshuang, they became childhood friends.
It was also at that time they met Lu Mian.
Later on, Fu Yao’s family started to prosper.
Fu Yao struck it lucky, making a lot of money trucking goods, and the family moved right away to Lucheng.
They spent nearly four million yuan on a 150 square meter apartment, and their backs were straighter.
Perhaps because their family’s life kept getting better and Fu Man’s got worse, pride getting the best of Fu Man, they pretty much lost touch after the move.
Using the distance as an excuse for the inconvenience, they would go a year without a phone call, let alone a visit.
Weng Xia brought out the last two dishes to the table and patted her daughter’s shoulder, “Time to eat, stop playing with your phone.”
Fu Shuangshuang didn’t listen and instead showed the phone to Weng Xia and Fu Yao.
“Mom, Dad, Yunxuan says Lu Mian has come to our side.
She’s in Jinjing right now!”
Their family lived in Lucheng, but Jinjing was very close.
After all, houses in Jinjing were too expensive, so they opted for Lucheng instead, finding it convenient enough to commute back and forth.
Upon hearing this name out of the blue, Fu Yao and Weng Xia both showed surprise.
“Lu Mian?”
