Chu Zhaotian’s face looked terribly uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I was just giving a reminder, but Old Song, your daughter is adept at handling words. ”

“Zhizhi.” Song Shan feigned anger.

“I apologize, Chief Chu. I was naive, I didn’t realize where I offended you. I thought I was explaining things, instead I seemed to put Chief Chu at a disadvantage.” Song Zhizhi apologized.

“What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say you offended me!” Chu Zhaotian could hardly keep his cool.

Chu Qin tugged at her father’s arm and said to Song Zhizhi, “My dad meant well. Many things in Commercial Management are highly confidential, and every bit of disruption can affect the final outcome. Since Miss Song didn’t do anything, why are you so agitated?” “Exactly. Isn’t someone… feeling guilty?” Chu Zhaotian made a sarcastic comment.

Song Zhizhi was about to retort.

Ye Taiting said harshly, “Enough!”

Everyone fell silent.

“How can I trust you all if you behave like this?” Ye Taiting looked somewhat serious.

Chu Zhaotian dared not speak anymore.

No one else dared to speak either.

Only Song Zhizhi.

It was always Song Zhizhi.

Chu Qin was enraged; she wished she could throttle this woman.

This woman who stole all her glory.

“Mr. Ye, please don’t be angry. Although Chief Chu and I disagree, we both want Commercial Management to do better. Chief Chu doesn’t want our company’s secrets to be leaked, and I want to find a better solution to ensure the success of our IT project in S Country.” Song Zhizhi tried to mediate, “In my opinion, quarrels aren’t necessarily a bad thing, they might even help take things to the next level.”

Ye Taiting seemed to agree with Song Zhizhi’s point of view, “You’re absolutely right. In all these years in Commercial Management, it’s hard to find talent like you. Song Shan, your daughter has a promising future. You need to cultivate her well.”

“Mr. Ye, you flatter me. In future I’ll discipline her well; she needs to understand propriety first and foremost.”

Ye Taiting shook his head, “Don’t be so severe. We old folks can no longer keep up with the trends. Sometimes, you have to admit the insights from the younger generation are influential. Anyway, let’S not get off track. Song Zhizhi, continue.”

“Yes.” Song Zhizhi respectfully responded and spoke, “Actually, the IT project was not something my dad told me about. My dad has been suffering from insomnia and poor spirits recently, so I asked about it. As members of a business management organization, we naturally understand the basic rules and regulations – what can be said and what must be kept secret. I know my limitations. My dad trusts me, that’s why he told me about the current situation of the IT project. He hopes I could help strategize and make things better.”

Ye Taiting nodded, “That’s a good thing.”

“I saw the list of IT experts that my dad has. Even to a layman like me, it’s obvious they’re not competitive at all. These experts don’t even rank internationally. As far as I know, all the IT elites in Y Country have joined this project, seemingly determined to succeed. For this, I conducted some research on the IT industry and found out that there is an annual competition in the global hacker communitv, also known as the G-value: the hieher the G-value, the more skilled the hacker.” Sone Zhizhi simply explained, paused slightly to ensure Ye Taiting understood.

Slowly, she turned to Qin Wenguo, “Chief Qin, are you familiar with this list?”

Qin Wenguo frowned, “I’ve heard about it, but my comprehension is limited because I’m not an expert in this field.”

“Have you heard of SWT?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“Never heard of it.” Qin Wenguo promptly responded, his face looking slightly off, “I admit that when we reach a certain age, we can’t keep up with the pace of young people. But sometimes, the younger generation should show some respect to their elders, which is basic human decency.”

“Chief Qin, you misunderstood. I’m not showing off my expertise. Like I mentioned before, I’m an amateur in the IT industry. I only managed to learn a little over these few days. The real mastermind is your daughter.”

Qin Wenguo’s face changed slightly.

Song Zhizhi said, “It’s only after digging deeper that I found out that the number one SWT on the

G-value index is your daughter, Qin Jingxiang.”

Upon hearing this.

Everyone looked at Qin Wenguo.

Qin Wenguo•s face changed instantly.

He looked at Song Zhizhi, turned to look at Ye Taiting, and rushed to explain, “I didn’t know Jingxiang was so proficient at computers. She has always acted differently because she’s more intelligent than others, so my wife and I have always indulged her. We’ve never questioned what she’s up to. I really didn’t know she was a supposed master hacker. Isn’t that right, Cheng Rong?”

Qin Wenguo immediately beckoned his wife beside him.

This matter is of great importance. Knowing that Commercial Management urgently needs IT talents, if Qin Wenguo has such a highly skilled daughter and yet, didn’t let her apply to participate, it’s obviously an excuse. This conspicuous action unavoidably imposes doubt on his authenticity towards Commercial Management. Presently at this critical moment, it’s like a bolt from the blue for him, naturally, Qin Wenguo wants to absolve himself of guilt.

Cheng Rong quickly sided with her husband, “We really didn’t know. This child has distanced herself from us since an early age, and went overseas to study very young. We had no idea what she’s been up to these years. She’s just come back home recently, and hasn’t even mentioned anything about this mountain of topics. Besides, if this matter is truly happening, we need to ask further, would there be any possibility of misapprehension? Although Jingxiang’s IQ is high, I’ve never seen her playing with a computer much at home, so how could she possibly be a hacker mastermind? I can hardly believe it.”

Having said so, she laughed awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenguo hurriedly picked up the discussion, “Yes, it could be a misunderstanding. I heard that hackers are the best at concealing their identities. Could this be a misidentification which may turn into a laughing stock later on?”

“Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, Chief Qin can call your daughter now.” Song Zhizhi said, “I suppose your daughter wouldn’t lie to you.”

Seeing this, Cheng Rong promptly said, “I’ll call her, I’ll call her now.”

As she was about to get up.

“It’S best for Mrs. Qin to make the call here.” Song Zhizhi seemingly kindly reminded, “In order to avoid any misunderstandings later on, it would be clear in front of everyone. If it is, it is, if it’s not, it’s not. There’s nothing to avoid, right?” Cheng Rong’s face turned bitter.

She turned to look at her husband.

Qin Wenguo suppressed his anger.

He was actually cornered by Song Zhizhi today.

Previously at a private meeting with Chu Zhaotian, Chu Zhaotian got annoyed when talking about Song Zhizhi. At that time, he even ridiculed Chu Zhaotian, accusing him of arguing with a girl. Now, he’s the one getting so angry with Song Zhizhi that it’s making him sick.

In this somewhat quiet space.

It seemed as if everyone was waiting for his response.

At this moment, Qin Wenguo could only nod and say, “Call, call now!”

Cheng Rong had no choice but to make the call in front of everyone, and put it on speaker.

“Mom.” On the other end, Qin Jingxiang’s sweet voice came through.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had dealt with this woman personally, no one would have suspected that she has such deep intentions hidden under her cute exterior.

“Is SWT from the hacker community you?” Cheng Rong asked with reluctance.

“Yes, I am…” The voice on the other end replied.

Before she could finish.

“Yes, it’s you! Why didn’t you say so earlier?! You’re such a spoiled child!” Qin Wenguo’s voice was loud; he seemed to be furious with his daughter!

At that moment, Qin Jingxiang instantly understood.

Such an intelligent woman, she immediately grasped the significance of her parents’ sudden peculiar behavior.

She deliberately stated, “You didn’t ask me why I said so. I’ve been on my own for so long, and I don’t need you to interfere! ”

After finishing her sentence, she abruptly hung up the phone.

Qin Wenguo breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Fortunately, his daughter was smart enough not to give the game away.

Instantly, he turned to Ye Taiting and hastily appeased him, “I really spoiled her too much, when I get home I will definitely disciplined her!” Ye Taiting didn’t say anything.

Nobody else said a word.

It became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Qin Wenguo quickly added, “Had I known earlier that my daughter was so strong in the hacker community, I’d have brought her here to apply earlier. I’m furious, Song Shan, I hope you’re not angry with me.”

Song Shan said with a smile, “No way, you just didn’t know. Moreover, kids these days are simply different, they get used to having their own way.”

“Indeed. Although my child has already completed her Ph.D., she’S only 21 and not mature enough. When you talk about national affairs, she thinks you’re old-fashioned and doesn’t like it when we discuss serious topics. To avoid angering her, her mother and I rarely talk about work, and she may not be informed about current affairs. She may not even know that we’re currently seeking IT talents,” Qin Wenguo kept explaining.

He was afraid this would suddenly paint a bad picture of him.

Song Shan added, “Qin Wenguo, I understand your situation. Before, it was the same with Zhizhi. She used to have an aversion to talking about work or serious matters, and she never paid attention to what I said. It’s only recently that she’s changed a lot. Once children grow up a bit, things get better.”

“Exactly, I’m relieved that you understand,” Qin Wenguo patted Song Shan on the shoulder, acting like Song Shan was his best understanding buddy.

Song Shan just smiled, appearing unbothered.

Taiting finally spoke, though weak, his voice carried undeniable authority, “In that case, Wenguo, you should go home and properly persuade your daughter. This isn’t a matter that only involves her.”

“Rest assured, I will make sure that my daughter participates! Even if it means severing our father-daughter relationship, I will always give priority to our commercial management business,” Qin Wenguo immediately promised.

“Unexpectedly, our country also has the number one hacker. This can be seen as a piece of good news,” Ye Taiting laughed.

“Old Ye, you’re flattering me too much,” Qin Wenguo replied modestly.

“In that case, I won’t worry about the IT project,” Ye Taiting said, “For this project’s success or failure, I’m counting on you, Wenguo.”

Surely, the responsibility of this IT project rested on Qin Wenguo, it was not solely Song Shan’s matter now.

“You’re overestimating me, but I will certainly discipline my daughter and ensure she gives it her all,” Qin Wenguo vowed.

Ye Taiting laughed and nodded, then turned to Song Shan, “If the project yields good results, you should thank Wenguo for cultivating such an excellent daughter.”

With that said, it was clear that Song Shan was still the project manager.

If the project did well, the credit still belongs to Song Shan.

Qin Wenguo had swallowed a bitter pill, a big bitter pill!

Song Shan quickly agreed, “Of course.”

Qin Wenguo also hastily chimed in, even though he was inwardly going crazy.

Ye Taiting nodded, standing up from the couch.

The others immediately also rose.

Ye Taiting said, “I am slightly weary. You all should go.”

“Rest well, Mr. Ye.”

“Rest well.”

The several directors hurriedly said.

Upon Ye Taiting’s slight nod, Qian Guanshu supported him up the stairs and returned to his room.

Once he got back to his room…

Qian Guanshu closed the door and Ye Taiting’s state completely transformed.

He became that shrewd old man once again!

“Master.” Qian Guanshu walked over, somewhat confused, “Wasn’t the plan just to dethrone Song Shan? Now you’ve appeased Song Shan!”

Ye Taiting smirked, “Relax, I have personally cultivated these men, and very familiar with their nature. Song Shan may have a gain now, but do you think Qin Wenguo will let him enjoy this bargain? Qin Wenguo absolutely cannot afford to let his daughter help Song Shan, he is not a fool, he knows this won’t end well.”

“But with what you said earlier, can Qin Wenguo still resist?”

“Cannot do it openly, will have to do it surreptitiously. Or you will see! Even if Qin Wenguo really can’t do anything, I have my own ways!” Ye Taiting cunningly said, “Song Shan, I will definitely not let him rise to the top! He poses the greatest threat, obstructing the arrangement I have planned for.”

“Yes.” Qian Guanshu nodded.

“By the way, how has Yi Wenhan been recently?” Ye Taiting suddenly asked.

“The young master seems to be in a state of low spirits. Although he has been enduring and staying on in the Commercial Management, he seems to lack zest. At this rate, it would be hard for him to get promoted.” Qian Guanshu sighed.

“Such a good-for-nothing! All these years, always outmaneuvered by Song Zhizhi! Hasn’t Nie Wenzhi taught him well?! He disappoints me greatly.” Ye Taiting looked visibly upset.

Qian Guanshu sighed, “There’s nothing we can do, Young Master has been growing up in an orphanage since birth. Though Nie Wenzhi has always been in contact with him secretly, he could eventually not take him under his wings. Developing to this level now is quite good. The most important thing is, he does not know who is secretly aiding him, or his mother lying in bed; he is clueless. Master Ye, did you not consider revealing his true identity to him?”

“There’s no rush.” Ye Taiting shook his head, “Now is not the time. Currently, the only people who know his real identity are you, me, and Nie Wenzhi. Those who knew have all but passed. It’s in fear of his identity being discovered and sabotaged. Yi Wenhan is the son I worked hard to get. All those years, the fact that I did not have an heir was making everyone covetous. If there suddenly is an heir, those who eyed the position will not submit easily, they will definitely want to push him out completely! At this moment, concealing his identity is the safest thing to do; once dust settles, it’s never too late to tell him.”

“Master Ye has indeed thought this through.” Qian Guanshu said reverently.

“However, Song Shan is indeed concerning me now.” Ye Taiting’s expression turned grave, “Nie Wenzhi, whom we placed by Song Shan’s side, eventually failed. He was our most all-rounded operative, but his eventual downfall was disappointing.”

Qian Guanshu agreed, “It is indeed a pity. After years of patience, Song Shan was supposed to be our pawn, a powerful means to maintain balance among the other directors in the Commercial Management. To be used when needed and to be killed when he’S no longer needed. After numerous incidents, Song Shan managed to come out unscathed.”

“Have you ever thought about when did Song Shan slip out of our control?” Ye Taiting asked.

Qian Guanshu speculated, “From the moment Song Zhizhi broke up with the young master and started associating with Ji Baijian, it seems like the Song Family gradually lost our surveillance. To the point where we are now slightly helpless when dealing with Song Shan. Whether it was you publicly ‘favoring’ Song Zhizhi, turning the members of the Song Family into targets, or secret assassination attempts, they have all escaped our surveillance, and the Song Family members are still very much alive.”

“So, Ji Baijian is the key.” said Ye Taiting fiercely, “Song Shan also mentioned that Song Zhizhi only changed her stand recently!”

“But didn’t you rule out the possibility of Ji Baijian?” asked Qian Guanshu.

“He may not be the one, but that doesn’t mean he’S not our enemy. Think about it, which member of the Song Family has not been under our control? But ever since Ji Baijian appeared in their home, the whole Song Family changed. Song Zhizhi suddenly broke up with Wenhan, causing Wenhan to lose such a major platform for growth. Nie Xiaofei, a chess piece chosen by Nie Wenzhi, ended up being exposed easily! In the end, even Nie Wenzhi was dethroned by them, with such a pitiful outcome!” Ye Taiting said.

Firmly, he stated, “Ji Baijian, regardless of his identity, no matter where he comes from, must be completely eliminated!”
