Chapter 679: Asking Qiao Nian for Help
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes as she saw the caller ID. She put on her earphones with one hand and got up to answer the call.
“Hello.”
…
At this point, on the 8th floor of the Rao City Hospital, Gu San made a call.
There were a few people in the VIP ward.
Zhou Wei was the first to lose her cool. Clenching her fist and looking at the man on the hospital bed, she frowned and said, “Master Wang, the automated system is one of Ninth Branch’s core technologies. Is it appropriate to have an outsider to help us out in this?”
Moreover, from what Luo Qing said, the other party sounded like a young girl, perhaps a high school student.
There were so many top-notch experts in the Ninth Branch. It was absurd to get a high school student to help them.
What could a high school student know, how ridiculous!
“If we’re getting someone to help, I can call my Uncle and ask if he has the time to make a trip over.”
Everyone in Ninth Branch knew that Zhou Wei’s uncle was the renowned hacker Zhou Hengfeng. The Zhou family had several IT experts.
Zhou Wei herself was a computing talent from Nanjing University.
She was selected for a junior course at the age of 14 and later made it into Ninth Branch. She was only 24 this year, but she was already on the same level as Luo Qing and the other 40-odd-year-olds.
They were all leaders in the IT research industry.
Luo Qing was in charge of the first group while she was in charge of the second.
“She’s not an outsider.” Ye Wangchuan spoke calmly. He was slightly pale, but his aura was still imposing.
Zhou Wei was a little stunned.
But she reacted quickly and said with a frown, “Even if she isn’t an outsider, she’s Young Master Jiang’s younger sister. Moreover, she’s a high school student. What can a high school student know? She probably doesn’t even know what source codes are.”
Before Ye Wangchuan said anything, Luo Qing rubbed his nose awkwardly and responded, “That… I think Miss Qiao knows what source codes are, and she’s even good at it.”
Whatever Zhou Wei was saying now, he had said before. And as a result… got himself slapped on the face with humiliation!
Upon thinking about it now, he found it rather surprising.
When he met up with his group thereafter, a few of them even asked when he was going to swallow his laptop as promised.
Luo Qing didn’t want his counterpart to be embarrassed in the same way and so persuaded her kindly, “Miss Qiao is different from other high school students. Tsk, how should I say this? Basically, she’s very impressive. She’s extremely good at computing, programming, and this stuff.”
Thinking about what Gu San said previously, he added, “She’s not just any high school student. She’s already gone for the Qing University entrance examinations. After the College Entrance Examination, she’ll be a Qing University student.”
Qing University and Nanjing University had always been rivals.
Hence, students from these schools did not like each other.
Zhou Wei intuitively frowned upon hearing this. Some disdain appeared on her pretty face as she asked slowly, “So, she’s made it into the Computing Faculty of Qing University?”
Qing University’s ranking was above Nanjing University’s. But everyone knew that when it came to the Computing Faculty, Nanjing University was better.
Qing University’s Computing Faculty… was nowhere near!
They were incomparable!
She simply assumed that Qiao Nian was in the Computing Faculty after hearing Luo Qing talk about how good she was at that.
Who would have known that the man would shake his head awkwardly and say, “No, she didn’t apply for a Computing major.”
