“What do you think this place is, somewhere just anyone can walk into… ”
Han Luo’s face was a picture of irritation as he looked at the person who had spoken, but the next second, he froze, a flicker of embarrassment and annoyance crossing his face.
He hadn’t expected that the person speaking up for this arrogant, ignorant kid would be none other than Master Li.
“Do you have a problem with someone I’ve brought?” Li Hanzhou’s getup today was formal, a well-tailored ash-grey suit made him look distant and abstinent; his gaze cold and unemotional as he looked at Han Luo, heavy with pressure.
Han Luo felt as though someone had grasped his throat in an instant. The mocking retort he was about to make was immediately swallowed down, and after what felt like an age, he forced out hoarsely, “I wouldn’t dare.”
He was inwardly astounded.
He had indeed heard some rumors lately, his gaze involuntarily circling between Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou. It seemed this inexperienced girl was the one rumored to be Master Li’s favorite.
But that still wasn’t a reason for her to act recklessly.
Han Luo’s eyebrows knitted in displeasure, then he heard Li Hanzhou speak in a lazy tone, “Since there is no problem, then let her try. After all, you’re already powerless, aren’t you? Better to give way to someone with real ability.”
Han Luo tasted the insult in those words. His expression going through a myriad of changes, he explained in a tempered tone, “Master Li, you might not realize, but this virus is not simple; it’s not something just anyone can solve—I’m struggling with it, and she definitely can’t handle it.”
He glanced at Qiao Yun, whose expression was unreadable, and added with sarcasm, “Besides, what makes her think she can solve it? Does she even know how to write code?”
As calm as ever, Qiao Yun replied earnestly, “Better than you.”
Stunned by the retort, Han Luo felt that this young girl was outrageously arrogant. It must be because she hadn’t been toughened up by society yet.
Even more certain that she was acting so brazenly only because of Master Li’s favor, Han Luo might fear the Li Family’s influence, but he had no time to entertain the whims of the wealthy with the situation at hand.
Jiang Jing had been observing Qiao Yun ever since she had volunteered, initially finding her too presumptuous. Now hearing her statement, Jiang Jing couldn’t keep silent anymore and slowly said, “You think just because you won the Star Cup once, you’re more skilled than anyone? If you’re up to the task, so am I.”
“What are you talking about? Getting yourself noticed at a time like this, imagine if you actually went to try—it would be a laughing stock,” Jiang Shaocheng, sweating profusely, couldn’t hold back and scolded her.
Jiang Jing laughed, “Dad, don’t worry, the one who’s overreaching isn’t me. I’m well aware of my limitations. It’s just that with the situation being so urgent, I can’t stand to see someone trying to steal the spotlight.”
Qiao Yun glanced sideways at Jiang Jing, her voice floating lightly, “You certainly do have self-awareness.”
Jiang Jing: “…”
Jiang Jing’s expression changed; how could there be someone as infuriating as Qiao Yun in this world!
Qiao Yun, who received a glare from Jiang Jing, was quite innocent; she was just telling the truth, and apparently even that wasn’t allowed.
Someone did, however, speak up for Qiao Yun. This person had collaborated with Tianqi before and knew the difficulty of the Star Cup, and couldn’t help but curiously examine Qiao Yun.
“To win the Star Cup, one must be exceptionally talented. I wonder where you are currently employed? Perhaps at the Tianqi Research Institute?”
