Chapter 31: Unprecedented Crisis

The high-level executives around the conference table all lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

From the moment the incident occurred until now, these high-level executives had not dared to close their eyes, working day and night to discuss solutions together. The IT department also worked overtime, but facing the official website virus, they were still helpless.

Perhaps.

From the beginning, they underestimated the patriotism of the Chinese people.

Chief CEO Jason's face was very unsightly, "If I don't see results in three hours, you will come to see me with your resignation reports!"

"Meeting adjourned!"

The virus must be cleared within three hours, and the mastermind behind it must be brought to justice!

LW has completely lost face this time. If they don't overcome the virus in time, they will definitely become the biggest joke in the industry.

From the official website being hacked to the exposure of the hidden scandals, LW's stock has been declining in a straight line, falling three points continuously. If this continues, LW will face an unprecedented crisis since its establishment 80 years ago!

Jason, however, was very confident that the IT department could solve all the problems within three hours.

After all, Country P is a major technological power.

Its internet technology is more than thirty years ahead of neighboring countries. Just a small virus, Jason didn't believe that their great nation, with its abundance of talent, couldn't even solve this little difficulty.

After Jason left the conference room, only a group of high-level executives remained, looking at each other.

With pressure from above, they could only exert pressure on the IT department.

At the same time.

The top ten trending searches on various news and short video apps at home and abroad were all about the LW official website incident.

The account "Taro Ball Milk Tea" also became famous overnight.

[The ID name "Taro Ball Milk Tea" sounds a bit like a girl's, a woman who is as good as a man! Thumbs up!]

[Currently, the global ratio of male to female hackers is 100:1. Moreover, scientific research shows that women's comprehension in the field of computer science is far less than one percent of that of men. The male-to-female ratio in computer science departments of various universities is also only 20:1. So, whether the big shot is male or female is already obvious, right?]

[Not trying to be sexist, but judging from the big shot's style, the big shot does seem like a man.]

[The focus isn't the big shot's gender, but that the big shot has really boosted the reputation of us Chinese people!]

[It's been ten hours, and LW still hasn't cleared the virus. LW won't really fall into the hands of a Chinese hacker this time, will they? That would be too embarrassing!]

[It shouldn't be that bad, the thousands of people in LW's IT department aren't just for show, are they? Besides, China only has a few years of internet history.]

Three hours passed quickly, and the IT department still had no solution to the virus.

The stock price fell again and again.

After discussion among several senior executives, it was finally decided to issue a reward on Juxian.

Since someone on Juxian could successfully hack LW's official website, there must be someone who can clear the virus.

The reward is 1 million financial coins.

1 million financial coins is equivalent to 100 million RMB.

LW, being so generous, was certain that someone could clear the virus.

After all, the reward for hacking LW's official website in the first place was only 500,000 RMB.

Who could resist the temptation of 100 million?

Even that Taro Ball Milk Tea probably couldn't resist it!

Teacher's office.

Song Baoyi stood in front of Ye Jun's desk.

"Baoyi, you're number one in the grade again this time. Very good, you must continue to maintain it!"

"Teacher Ye, I will maintain it well." Song Baoyi nodded.

Teacher Zhang on the side joked, "Top Scholar Song, you're always number one in the grade. How about you give Li Haoran from our class a chance in the next monthly exam?"

Song Baoyi was the undisputed number one in the grade.

Li Haoran was the undisputed number two in the grade.

Song Baoyi said modestly, "Thank you for your kind words, Teacher Zhang. Actually, Li from your class is also very awesome."

Good grades, and also modest.

Which teacher wouldn't like such a good student?

After speaking, Song Baoyi looked at Ye Jun, "By the way, Teacher Ye, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Baoyi, go ahead."

Song Baoyi continued, "It's about my older sister. My older sister was ignorant before. I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you can give her another chance and let her come back to school."

Ye Jun frowned slightly, "She was expelled from Beiqiao?"

Song Baoyi was stunned.

Beiqiao?

Song Hua really transferred to Beiqiao?

What means did she use?

Before Song Baoyi could fully digest it, Ye Jun said earnestly, "Baoyi, your family spoils Song Hua too much. Every time she causes trouble, you come forward to clean up the mess. She's becoming lawless! This time she used your name to get into Beiqiao High School, next time she might use your name to do something illegal and criminal! How will you solve it for her then?"

Song Baoyi smiled and said, "Maybe my sister really got in based on her own ability."

Ye Jun shook his head helplessly.

Song Baoyi was still too naive.

With Song Hua's appearance, what ability could she have?

Dream on!

After school in the afternoon.

Song Baoyi asked seemingly unintentionally, "Mom, did you and Dad pull some strings for elder sister?"

"Pull what strings?" Zhou Lei asked suspiciously.

Song Baoyi continued, "Today our Teacher Ye said that elder sister entered Beiqiao High School."

Zhou Lei frowned, "Did your teacher make a mistake?"

Just Song Hua?

She could get into Beiqiao High School?

Song Baoyi stammered, "Teacher Ye said...said...ah, forget it! Maybe elder sister got in based on her own ability. Mom, don't worry about this matter."

After speaking, Song Baoyi turned and went upstairs.

How could Zhou Lei not care? She immediately took out her phone and called Ye Jun.

After understanding the whole story, Zhou Lei was furious.

What a little bastard!

She's grown capable!

She actually dares to flaunt and deceive using Song Baoyi's name now.

Zhou Lei immediately went to the study to tell Song Dalong about this.

Upon hearing this, Song Dalong immediately stood up from his desk with a dark face, "You come with me to Beiqiao High School."

"Okay!" Zhou Lei followed Song Dalong's footsteps.

Ten minutes later, the Song family's car stopped at the gate of Beiqiao High School.

Upon learning that Song Dalong and Zhou Lei were Song Hua's parents, Ma Weiwei received them very politely.

Ma Weiwei originally thought that Song Hua, being so perfect, must have inherited her parents' looks, but upon seeing them in person, it wasn't the case.

Although Zhou Lei could also be considered beautiful, she was just beautiful and not stunningly so.

Song Dalong was even more ordinary.

Could Song Hua be a genetic mutation?

"Mr. and Mrs. Song, please have some water." Ma Weiwei brought over two glasses of water.

"Thank you, Teacher Ma." Zhou Lei took the water, glanced at Song Dalong, and then said, "There's something we want to make clear to you."

"Please speak," Ma Weiwei said with a smile.

Zhou Lei continued, "Teacher Ma, actually, Song Hua is our adopted daughter. She just came from the countryside and has no blood relationship with us. We also know that with her qualifications, it's impossible for her to get into Beiqiao! So, you don't have to give her special treatment out of consideration for us. That wouldn't be fair to other students either. We just found out that she actually used Baoyi's reputation as the top female talent in Jiangcheng to get into your prestigious school. We're really sorry for the trouble we've caused you. We're here today to take her back."

Her words were high-sounding, and at the same time, they portrayed Song Hua as a useless little country girl.

Ma Weiwei was stunned at first.

Then she reacted.

No wonder Song Hua came alone to take the entrance exam, and she was also alone on her first day reporting to school after the transfer. Even the most independent child should have their parents accompany them.

Ma Weiwei explained, "The two of you have misunderstood. Song Hua got in based on her own true abilities and has nothing to do with anyone else. If the two of you hadn't come today, I really wouldn't have known that Song Hua came from a wealthy family."

True abilities?

Does Song Hua have such a thing?

Zhou Lei looked disdainful.

Ma Weiwei took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Lei, "Mrs. Song, this is the admission result sheet."

A total of six subjects.

A total score of 750.

Song Hua's score was 730, ranking first among the 56 candidates.

Zhou Lei took the report card and frowned, "She must have cheated!"

You must know that Song Baoyi's monthly exam scores were only around 720 points each time.

How could Song Hua be more awesome than Song Baoyi?

Ma Weiwei looked at Zhou Lei with complicated emotions. Ordinary parents would definitely be extremely excited to see their child get such a high score, but Zhou Lei's first reaction was actually that Song Hua had cheated!

For a moment, Ma Weiwei felt sorry for Song Hua.

As an adopted daughter, she must have been living on thin ice in that family.

"Mrs. Song, you should trust Beiqiao's admission system and also trust student Song Hua."

Song Dalong spoke at this moment, "Please, Teacher Ma, go through the withdrawal procedures for Song Hua!"

Beiqiao was a high school that even Song Baoyi didn't get into back then.

What did Song Hua rely on?

Did she rely on cheating?

He was Song Hua's father and had the right to directly have Song Hua withdraw from school.
