Chapter 61: Lonely and Cold, Finding Someone for You (2/2)

Old Liu slightly frowned, his mouth twitching, “People online aren’t that smart. Just do it. Otherwise, does anyone have a better solution? Let’s proceed with this for now. Anyway, there’s a game version upgrade next month. We need to focus on strengthening our anti-hacking measures. That’s the priority.”

After speaking, Old Liu didn’t dismiss the meeting but walked over to the window, seemingly lost in thought, occasionally glancing back at the employees’ expressions.

The employees were extremely uncomfortable, their suspicions of each other growing in this tense atmosphere.

Unable to bear the strain, a veteran employee stood up and said, “Boss Liu, it definitely wasn’t someone from our company. We’ve all been here for many years, and I truly believe there’s no issue. I can vouch for it!”

“Then who do you think it could be?”

“Eh, Boss Liu! Could it be that Zhao Qingfeng you previously admired? Didn’t he and Miss Liu have a falling out? He even said something about not letting you get away with it. Could it be him?”

This suggestion hit Old Liu like a revelation.

He suddenly remembered the incident Liu Ruoxin had mentioned.

His brows furrowed, but after a minute, he burst into laughter.

“Him?”

“Hahaha.”

“Impossible!”

“He’s just a kid with some insight but no real skills. How could he possibly outsmart me?”

“There’s no chance for Zhao Qingfeng to play me.”

“Besides, how old is he? Eighteen? Are you all brain-dead to come up with such a ridiculous idea? Alright, meeting adjourned. Seal the breach immediately, create the trojan, and resolve the crisis first. We’ll deal with the rest later.”

Relieved at the dismissal, the employees hurriedly got busy with their tasks.

Meanwhile.

In the county town.

Zhao Qingfeng was sitting at computer number 16, near the bar at the corner, secretly operating on the web page while Zhao Ming wasn’t paying attention, preparing to register a domain name.

“Liu Ruoxin…”

Images from earlier that day flashed through Zhao Qingfeng’s mind.

“Impossible…”

He reminded himself never to repeat past mistakes, tapping his fingers on the keyboard and opening Wanwang to apply for a domain name.

The Mingyue free hack had already spread widely, enough to cause trouble for Old Liu. In the coming month, he could focus on his own projects.

But while working, he recalled an important issue from his past life.

The identity of the ‘enemy’ Liu Ruoxin talked about in the phone call, the one she confessed her true love to, remained unknown.

Initially.

He could have easily found out through a lawyer in a few days.

But he died at Shen Lingyao’s grave, and the mystery remained unsolved.

“Who was he?”

“What did he say on the phone again…”

“Forget it, I won’t have anything to do with Liu Ruoxin in this life.”

“Ah!”

As he thought, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly exclaimed. Although the man’s voice had been disguised and encrypted to hide his identity, there were still clues in the conversation. He always had a particular catchphrase…

Disgusting!

The more Zhao Qingfeng thought about these two, the more repulsed he felt. Shaking off the thoughts, he continued with the registration.

Now.

Hao123 had been around for several years. Although it hadn’t dominated the market, it was still a well-established navigation website.

To compete with it, he needed a catchy and memorable name.

Choosing a domain name was as important as naming a child, perhaps even more demanding. The basic requirement was for it to be easy to remember and roll off the tongue.

“What should I call it…”

Zhao Qingfeng’s fingers paused on the keyboard as he stared at the dialog box on the screen, pondering.

After a long thought.

He suddenly had a great idea.

Snapping his fingers, he was about to type in the domain name he had in mind.

But at the same time, two giggling voices entered the room. Two women, heavily made up, one was Zhang Ping, and the other, a stranger, looked young, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with shoulder-length hair, slim, and of average appearance.

Just as Zhao Ming finished recording the log-in and log-out times and greeted the two women, he called out to Zhao Qingfeng, “Brother, I thought you might be lonely, so I found you a friend to play with. Come, meet her, this is Chun Tao’er.”

As he finished speaking.

The three approached Zhao Qingfeng, who quickly used ALT+TAB to switch to the ‘Red Alert’ game screen.
