Hearing that there was something important to talk about, Luo Yishan immediately put away her smile. Her facial expressions could change with ease.
"What's up? Haven't you been taking fewer missions recently because of the bet?" she asked, looking a bit puzzled.
Yuan Meng nodded. "Yes, I've been taking fewer missions, but it doesn't mean I'm completely out of touch with these things. You know very well that people like us have to keep an eye on the online activities all the time. Even with the bet, it doesn't stop me from surfing the Internet."
"You're right," Luo Yishan nodded. "Forget about that. How about telling me what this important matter is. Is it about that popular network security system project recently?"
This was the most talked - about thing recently, and most importantly, it was closely related to them.
Yuan Meng nodded. Once they started talking about the important matter, they no longer looked like the crazy dancers on the stage just now.
"I'm actually quite interested in this network security system project. But you know, since we're hackers, legitimate companies and groups won't cooperate with us openly. But someone just wants to hand this opportunity to me. Do you think I can let it slip away?" Yuan Meng said.
"Oh? Who is it?" Luo Yishan immediately perked up.
Yuan Meng curled the corner of her mouth and smiled wickedly. "You saw this person just now."
"Saw just now? Could it be Ling Qianchen?"
"You're right. Recently, I found an email from Ling Qianchen in my inbox. Although he didn't state it directly, the general idea was that he wanted to cooperate with me on this network security system project." Yuan Meng said.
It happened three days ago. At that time, she was still recording a program in the show crew. She sent a "heart - warming" message to Ling Qianchen every day as promised. That night, after she sent the message, she heard the notification sound of her email on her phone.
After opening the inbox, she found that the email was from Ling Qianchen. The content was just what she had just said.
Luo Yishan's smile suddenly turned a bit mischievous. "Well, I think you should meet him and have a further talk. Oh, Aiyue, your reputation really precedes you. I wonder if Ling Qianchen is interested because of your reputation or because of you. When you meet him, make sure to keep your identity well - hidden. Don't let the cat out of the bag. The story has just begun. It won't be fun if you expose your identity so soon."
What Luo Yishan said was exactly what Yuan Meng was thinking, at least the first half of it.
She was very interested in this network security project. Now that someone had offered her the chance, she had to take a look.
She quickly replied to the email and made an appointment for the time and place.
The next day, at the appointed place, Ling Qianchen had been waiting for a long time to show his sincerity. When a woman in a black strapless long dress and wearing sunglasses appeared in front of him, there was a momentary look of surprise on his face.
"It's you," he said. There was a hint of joy in his originally cold tone. Ling Qianchen looked at Yuan Meng who had taken off her sunglasses and smiled.
Yuan Meng sat down nonchalantly, put the sunglasses on the table, looking rather unrestrained. "Yes, Mr. Ling invited me here to talk about important matters, right?"
How could Ling Qianchen not be excited? He had originally found out that Aiyue was a top - level hacker, so he wanted to cooperate with her to win the network security project of the Liushi Group together.
When he first saw this name, he thought it was a coincidence. The Aiyue he knew was just the second boss of the Blue Note Bar. How could she be related to a top - level hacker?
Who would have thought that today he found out that they were not only related but actually the same person.
However, since the other party was obviously not interested in him, Ling Qianchen suppressed all his surprise and excitement.
He showed a polite and generous smile. "Would you like something to eat?"
Yuan Meng casually ordered two steaks and continued, "I think you invited me here today not for a meal. Just order something casually. Let's get to the point quickly. After all, everyone's time is precious."
Since the words were so straightforward, Ling Qianchen didn't try to find other topics.
"Regarding the issue of network vulnerabilities, people in your line of work should understand it best. My purpose is very clear. I hope to cooperate with you to achieve a win - win or even a three - win situation."
Ling Qianchen said, "Since you are the ones who know network vulnerabilities best, it should be a piece of cake for you to repair network vulnerabilities and create a new network security system."
Naturally, Yuan Meng could pat her chest and guarantee that there was no one in the world who understood network vulnerabilities better than hackers.
Many systems were built by programmers typing codes day and night. These codes could become an APP or a system because of their own rules.
There were always bugs, big or small, when the codes were running. Hackers could enter or invade the other party's network through these bugs.
Some people might ask why these bugs couldn't be fixed. It was all the programmers' hard - earned tears.
It wasn't that they didn't want to create perfect codes. Sometimes, the existence of some insignificant bugs was necessary for the perfect operation of the codes.
The same was true for the network. It seemed intangible and illusory, but in fact, just like codes, it always had its weak points. When an external attack occurred, the weak points would always break first, and the network would be instantly invaded.
When they talked about these things, their professional knowledge gave both of them confidence, and they quickly reached a cooperation agreement.
After talking for so long, Yuan Meng felt a bit hungry. She was very glad that she hadn't refused to order food.
She cut the steak into pieces with a knife, then picked up a piece with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth. Since the piece of beef was a bit big, her cheeks bulged when she ate.
Ling Qianchen was a bit dazed. Why did he think that Aiyue looked a bit like the little white rabbit at home when she was eating?
Then he shook his head. It was impossible. Not to mention the difference in their appearances, their temperaments were completely different. How could they be the same person?
Just thinking about the little white rabbit at home inevitably made him think of the text messages that came on time every night recently. Ling Qianchen felt a bit nauseous.
Looking at the woman sitting opposite him, in terms of appearance, figure, temper, and intelligence, she was far superior to that little white rabbit.
"Since we've decided to cooperate, how about leaving each other our WeChat accounts for easier contact?" Ling Qianchen said and took out his phone.
