Chapter 255 Not Hard Work

As night deepened, most of the lights on the floors of the Chaoxing Technology Twin Towers went out, with only a few scattered lights still on.

Xie Chaoyin sat behind his desk, holding a teacup, looking at the monitor on his left.

This display screen shows the surveillance footage from the conference room on the 48th floor.

In the surveillance footage, Gu Suixing sat behind a computer desk, his right hand supporting his chin, his left hand slowly typing on the keyboard, looking tired and occasionally yawning.

At his typing speed, let alone writing a self-criticism, he probably wouldn't even be able to type 10,000 words by dawn.

Xie Chaoyin watched quietly, without urging him. He had plenty of time now and could slowly while away the time with that kid.

"Chairman Xie." The secretary walked to the desk. "Miss Tang has woken up and is clamoring to see you."

Xie Chaoyin: "I won't see you."

After Xie Chao brought Tang Ya from the capital, he locked her up in a house in the suburbs, where she was watched 24 hours a day and a private doctor treated her gynecological problems.

You won't die, but living will definitely not be better than dying.

Xie Chaoyin never went to see her again, keeping her in that house like an animal.

The secretary nodded and said nothing more.

Xie Chaoyin glanced at the screen on the right, a hint of a smile appearing in his fox-like eyes. "A 'little thief' has come uninvited to 'rescue the beauty'."

The secretary was puzzled.

Xie Chaoyin put down her teacup. "You can go home now."

"Yes." The secretary left.

Hearing the office door close, Xie Chao focused on entertaining the uninvited "little thief."

-

Lu Fengqing sat cross-legged on the bed, a laptop on the small table in front of her. She typed on the keyboard with both hands, looking guilty and timid.

This wasn't the first time she'd attempted to hack into Chaoxing Technology; each time she'd been calm and collected. Only this time, however, did Lu Fengqing feel like a thief.

I wonder if so-and-so is asleep yet...

[Bald Little Tiger: All the lights in the right-hand building are off, only the 48th and 63rd floors of the left-hand building still have lights on.]

The naming of Chaoxing Technology's twin towers is very simple: one is the left tower, and the other is the right tower.

Lu Fengqing silently uttered an "oh".

Oh, I only remembered that I had just asked the bald little tiger a question, and he answered it immediately.

How did you find out which floors had lights on so quickly? When did you become so capable, Bald Little Tiger?

[NX2: How did you know?]

[Bald Little Tiger: I'm right across from Chaoxing Technology]

[The bald little tiger retracted a message.]

Lu Fengqing: "..."

If it weren't for important business to attend to, Lu Fengqing would have given the bald little tiger a good interrogation.

[Xijidan: The 63rd floor is Boss Xie's office]

[Xijidan: I really don't understand why CEOs love to put their offices on the top floor. Aren't they afraid they won't be able to escape in time if there's a fire or earthquake?]

[Bald Little Tiger: I know the answer to this question. Our boss keeps a parachute under his desk so he can jump out the window in case of a fire or earthquake.]

[Xijidan: ...]

[NX2: ...]

Lu Fengqing imagined Gu Suixing and Xie Chaoyin leaping out of the office window with parachutes on their backs...

I was quite nervous at first, but now I just want to laugh.

[Xijidan: Bro, need any help?]

[NX2: Required.]

[Xijidan: Just say the word! Brother, I'll go through fire and water for you, even unto death!]

Lu Fengqing was too lazy to correct the way he, the PE teacher, used words.

[NX2: Go over to the 48th floor of the Chaoxingzuo Building and see who's inside.]

[Xijidan: ...I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have boasted and talked big.]

[Bald Little Tiger: The Twin Towers are all high-tech stuff. You need a pass to get in and out, like a work badge, fingerprint, or facial recognition. Even if we wanted to help you, we couldn't.]

Lu Fengqing hadn't really expected anything from these two.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that tonight was going exceptionally smoothly, and Chaoxing Technology was unusually "quiet".

Normally, she would have already pulled the internet cable and run away by now.

Has this guy surnamed Xie gone to the toilet and hasn't responded for so long?

In reality, the woman surnamed Xie didn't go to the toilet or use a squat toilet; she just sat in front of the computer, watching her dog sneakily touching and crawling around everywhere.

Xie Chaoyin calmly opened a certain software, which listed all the valuable collectibles whose whereabouts could be found, including but not limited to jewelry, bags, shoes, dresses, perfumes, wines, teas, books, calligraphy and paintings, and ornaments of various materials.

Then he waited patiently, watching helplessly as the "little thief" managed to sneak onto his computer.

Lu Fengqing was in a hurry to find Gu Suixing, and in a daze, she stumbled upon Xie Chaoyin's computer. She intended to take a quick look and leave, but once she started looking, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Wow—she'd seen this blue diamond before. Three years ago, it was auctioned off in Hong Kong to a wealthy foreign businessman for $80 million. It was expensive, but the color was pure, and it was much larger than her purple diamond…

This bag was a limited edition from six years ago; she had her eye on it for a long time, but missed out because she had to have a baby…

And that perfume, it was a limited edition, and she missed out on getting one, so angry she couldn't sleep for two weeks...

Lu Fengqing clicked on each one, first admiring the 3D models of the collections for a while, and then her gaze fell on the collectors' names and current addresses below.

What surprised Lu Fengqing the most was that some of the collectibles actually had prices listed below them!

Limited edition collectibles mean that most items are priceless and unavailable. While some items here are priced significantly higher than the original price, the fact that they have a price indicates the seller is willing to sell…

Lu Fengqing took a deep breath, throwing all thoughts of men and partners to the back of her mind. She picked up her phone, turned on the camera, and started snapping photos of the documents.

She'll collect all this information first, organize it tomorrow, and then try to ask around through connections!

The smell of money and the dazzling array of goods made Lu Fengqing linger, wishing she could fly to the other party's house right now and buy everything by card!

Lu Fengqing was enjoying herself immensely, completely unaware that her actions were being recorded by the software, including which collectibles she clicked on, how long she browsed each one, and how it could deduce which collectibles she liked. It could even calculate her preferences based on the characteristics of the collectibles she had viewed.

Xie Chaoyin held his teacup, watching the "little thief" operate on his computer, a smile on his face.

Before we knew it, the sky was beginning to brighten.

After scanning through the information on that batch of collections, Lu Fengqing struggled to leave, her mind still somewhat muddled.

I don't know what I pressed, but the screen flashed.

A familiar handsome face came into her view.

Their eyes met for a moment.

Gu Suixing glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen. "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Fengqing glanced away furtively, and replied somewhat guiltily, "...It's not hard work."
