"Mr. Huo, you wanted to see me?" No matter how cold and aloof Qi Nian was, when he saw Huo Yan, he would always soften a bit and seem more human. That was the true thought deep in the assistant's heart.
The assistant thought that was the reason why Qi Nian seemed to have feelings for Huo Yan.
Moreover, Qi Nian had a good - looking face. He didn't look like someone who only buried himself in front of a computer.
"Yes. Come with me. Let's go to your place. It's easier to talk there." Huo Yan then walked forward as if she were going to her own home instead of Qi Nian's. Fortunately, Qi Nian didn't mind.
The three of them arrived at Qi Nian's home and found a suitable area for work to sit down.
It had to be said that Qi Nian's home was different from what the assistant had imagined.
The assistant thought that someone like Qi Nian, a science student and a programmer, should have a messy home full of things that hadn't been tidied up.
In the assistant's imagination, it should be a place where one couldn't even find a place to step, full of sundries, shoes, and clothes. The computer might be on the table when sleeping and on the bed when not.
But now, looking at Qi Nian's home, it was neat. The whole style was simple and grand. From the decoration, it was quite in line with a science student's taste, always handsome and full of charm.
It was really unexpected. The assistant even thought it was cleaner than his own home.
Huo Yan also seemed a bit surprised at what she saw. Maybe at first, she had been prepared to accept a messy home of a nerd, but now it seemed quite nice.
"Mr. Huo, have some tea." Qi Nian brought two cups of tea, one for Huo Yan and one for the assistant.
What a programmer usually had was not coffee but Pu - er tea.
This was another thing that surprised Huo Yan and the assistant.
"Qi Nian, you said last time that it was impossible to restore that surveillance video. So what's going on now? Take a look."
Huo Yan showed Qi Nian the real surveillance video on the computer. At this moment, Huo Yan had no anger left. Even if there was, it was soothed by this steaming cup of Pu - er tea.
This was also something the assistant had to admire Qi Nian for.
Qi Nian carefully watched the surveillance video sent by Huo Yan and then operated on the computer a few times.
"Mr. Huo, this surveillance video is indeed real. It hasn't been tampered with." Qi Nian said seriously.
"I know that. But I'm not here to ask you this. I want to know what we should do about this now. Do you know, Qi Nian?"
Sure enough, the assistant silently covered his face. He had overestimated Huo Yan's temper. She still couldn't stand Qi Nian like this.
Actually, Qi Nian was often like this. He was a typical person with high IQ but low EQ.
Every time Qi Nian was like this, he always made Huo Yan quite unhappy, just like now.
Huo Yan couldn't understand Qi Nian's way of thinking at all.
"Who sent out this video? Who found it? I clearly remember that I deleted the original file before replacing it with a new one."
Qi Nian finally asked a proper question, but unfortunately, it was also a very untimely one.
Huo Yan didn't want to hear anything about Huo Cheng now. She would get angry as soon as she heard his name.
But since Qi Nian asked, Huo Yan still had to answer: "It's Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng has been familiar with computers since he was a child. He made this system when he was young."
"Since he was a child?!" Qi Nian looked very surprised. He really didn't expect that the system he had spent so much effort to hack into was written by Huo Cheng when he was a child. Then, suddenly, Qi Nian understood.
Why he had deleted this video but Huo Cheng could still find it. Such ability was really something Qi Nian thought he couldn't match.
"Yes, since he was a child. So are you that useless? You couldn't handle a system made by a child perfectly. Tell me, what else can you do?" Huo Yan's tone was not good.
It seemed that Qi Nian was always blamed by Huo Yan. No matter it was a big or small matter, as long as Qi Nian made a mistake, Huo Yan would have a bad tone and a bad look.
Sometimes, it really made Qi Nian feel like a useless person, worthless.
But Qi Nian was always grateful to Huo Yan for helping him when he was in the most difficult time.
But in the next moment, Qi Nian seemed to see the young man in front of him, full of vigor and self - confidence, looking very elegant and speaking calmly - Huo Cheng.
Qi Nian actually didn't know what Huo Cheng's purpose was for looking for him, but he could guess more or less. It had to be said that when facing Huo Cheng, Qi Nian hesitated.
"Come to me. I can let you do what you like. No matter what it is, I guarantee that you will be highly valued." These words were like a fatal temptation, constantly stirring Qi Nian's heart.
Qi Nian had always wanted to do what he liked. But in front of Huo Yan, he simply couldn't achieve this.
"Speak up. What's going on? Are you mute?" After just a moment of being in a daze, Huo Yan started shouting again.
This time, Qi Nian didn't compromise anymore. Instead, he asked Huo Yan: "Mr. Huo, you didn't come to me just to ask if I'm useless, did you? Do you have other things?" Qi Nian asked straightforwardly.
As he thought, Huo Yan came here with a purpose.
Huo Yan knew that after her father knew about this, or rather, after seeing this real surveillance video, no one would believe it. Her father would definitely find someone to verify whether this video was real or fake.
The first person Huo Yan thought of was Qi Nian.
After explaining the whole thing to Qi Nian, Qi Nian flatly refused. This matter was really difficult to handle.
"But will the head of the Huo family really let me do this? Shouldn't such a thing be done by someone trusted and familiar around him?" Qi Nian said, looking very confused.
"Don't worry. I'll arrange everything. You just need to do your job well and act this play out for me." Huo Yan said firmly.
Her purpose was to explain everything to Qi Nian in advance. When Qi Nian was taken to the Huo family to participate in the verification of this video, he could remember what Huo Yan had said to him today. No matter how the verification went, Huo Yan would be able to turn the danger into safety.
But what Huo Yan didn't consider was Qi Nian's attitude. She didn't expect that Qi Nian completely disliked such things. From the very beginning, Qi Nian had disliked such things, and now Huo Yan was asking him to act.
