Chapter 279: Chapter 279: If We’re Talking Miserable, He’s Truly Miserable!

Leaning back in his chair, Weitian sat up slightly.

Staring at the small program on the computer screen, he quickly began testing...

After trying several algorithms, he finally found a clue, and the speed of cracking increased more and more rapidly.

Just as he was nearing success, a string of code on the screen suddenly changed automatically; it was just a 0.1-second flicker, but Qin Nanyu’s exceptional dynamic vision instantly caught it.

His pupils suddenly contracted, he snapped back to reality and immediately turned his head, "Quick, turn on the signal jammer, disconnect the internet right now!"

The assistant hesitated but his body reacted before his mind did, following Qin Nanyu’s command and activating the special device in the study.

At the same time, Qin Nanyu’s frustrated curse was audible.

Only then did the assistant belatedly realize, "Boss, does the small program have an automatic tracking system?"

Qin Nanyu didn’t speak, his face shrouded in gloom.

He glared at the screen, at the half-cracked program.

He hadn’t felt very well today, his concentration had wavered, so while cracking the program, he had missed the small trap deliberately set by the other party that allowed the tracking system to be activated.

This kind of rookie mistake, Qin Nanyu had forgotten how long it had been since he last made one.

Luckily, he had discovered it early, and the other party probably had not had enough time to pinpoint his location, managing only to lock down a broad area.

"It’s all my fault," the assistant said, overcome with guilt as he reflected on the severity of the sudden event, "I should have suspected something when Nanyu suddenly agreed to meet; I should’ve had the programmers in the group check the program first."

Qin Nanyu closed the computer and pinched the bridge of his nose, "It’s not your fault. Every program he sets up always has a tracking system hidden inside. The mistake was mine."

The difficulty of the program had escalated, but he had let his focus slip.

Tonight was not a good night to handle work.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Nanyu asked, picking up his cup of water to take a sip, his eyebrow raised as he looked toward the assistant.

The assistant hastily picked up his own computer and turned to leave.

At the door, he remembered something and turned back.

"Boss, when can Miss Ji’s contract be signed?"

The assistant did not notice the sudden change on Qin Nanyu’s face and continued speaking.

"The lab still needs people, and if we don’t fill the positions soon, we risk delaying the progress of experiments... If you really can’t deal with Miss Ji, perhaps consider letting the young master try? It seems like Miss Ji is quite fond of him..."

Before the assistant could finish, a chill enveloped the air.

His eyes widened in confusion, and he anxiously reviewed his words, wondering if he had said something wrong.

After a moment’s thought, he found nothing incorrect.

From the beginning, his boss had devised a strategy of courteously and repeatedly soliciting someone’s services, planning to humbly make up for past behavior, and given Qian Min’s accident, to arrange for Miss Ji to join the lab.

Yet, for some unknown reason, things had gone awry, and the contract remained unsigned.

It seemed his image had been barely restored, if at all.

In terms of misfortune, he was truly wretched!

"Ji Weitian’s contract..." Qin Nanyu’s eyes darkened, and his entire reaction became somewhat off.

Like the assistant, he seemed lost in confusion.

As if without the assistant’s reminder, he would have forgotten his original purpose in approaching Ji Weitian—to unearth talent and to bring her into the lab.

But since when had his feelings towards Ji Weitian started to change...
