Let Me Take a Look Chapter 597: Chapter 596: Phone Broken?

Let Me Take a Look Xin Yuelu took out her phone while her fingers leisurely slid through the contact list.

As she scrolled, she reminded them.

“Dong Li, no matter the reason, something that has happened is no small matter.

Our team has emphasized many times the importance of network security.

This time, you were too carelessaEUR|”

Dong Li felt aggrieved but knew he was at fault, so he could only nod repeatedly, “Yes, Group Leader Yuelu is right.”

Xin Bo also reiterated, “It’s the same rule, no experimental samples or data are to leave the lab.

Even if you have a eureka moment during a break, try to write it down on paper if you can.

Your phone could be hacked at any moment, potentially compromising our entire network as well.”

Although their laboratory’s firewall was of a very high level, being extra cautious never hurt!

“Lucky for us Group Leader Yuelu is here, otherwise things could have gotten messy!” someone sighed in relief.

Pu Zongyang immediately agreed, “My teacher is absolutely reliable!”

Xin Yuelu found a phone number in her contacts and dialed it.

At this moment, Lu Mian was holding a tray with several small appetizers and two bowls of rice, all of which looked to be Xiao Qimo’s favorites.

She walked out unhurriedly.

She arrived at the dining area just in time to overhear Xin Bo’s speech, which made her heart skip a beat.

If Xin Bo knew that their boss was leading the way in leaking information and even “stole” out two pots of Netherman, who knows if he would be so upset he’d have a fit.

Cough, cough.

She quietly sipped the stray hairs on her forehead and walked over to Xin Bo.

She remembered there was a cold front coming to the farm tonight, bringing a drop in temperature, and planned to warn Xin Bo.

“Xin Bo.”

“Miss Lu,” Xin Bo greeted her respectfully, looking at the dinner Lu Mian was holding, and said with concern, “You and Mr.

Xiao haven’t had dinner yet?”

“No, it’s been a busy day.”

Lu Mian told the truth while Pu Zongyang scoffed, What busy?

Busy with dating?

While everyone here strived and worked diligently in their research, she seemed leisurely, as if she was on a vacation here.

The key issue was that she monopolized Mr.

Xiao’s time, preventing him from interacting with them and affecting the progress of the experiments.

Lu Mian could feel the malice radiating from Pu Zongyang.

She narrowed her eyesaEUR”was this man sick?

With a cool glance at Pu Zongyang, she momentarily ignored him and continued speaking to Xin Bo, “Xin Bo, I’ve received a message that there will be a cold snap tonight with a sudden drop in temperature.

Please take precautions in advance.”

She wouldn’t normally need to say this, but her information was more precise and earlier than others.

A sentence would be enough to remind him.

After all, it was also her responsibility to protect the interests of Director Qimo’s farm.

She went on to say, “I’ve noticed some precious flowers in the yard and the seedlings undergroundaEUR|”

Before Lu Mian could finish, Pu Zongyang interrupted her impatiently, “Can you stop talking?

Don’t you see Teacher Yuelu is on the phone?”

Pu Zongyang, priding himself on his high education, was dismissive of Lu Mian, a woman who facilitated through charm rather than intellect and had little culture.

He believed women should be like Xin Yuelu, independent, intellectual, gentle, and modest.

Even if she was Xiao Qimo’s girlfriend and others might indulge or flatter her, he, a person of elevated intellectual status, could not be bothered to glance her way.

“Zongyang, what are you saying!” Xin Bo turned his head and glared at Pu Zongyang.

Xin Yuelu remained neutral, holding the phone and walking a few steps away.

It seemed that the call hadn’t gone through yet.

Dong Li, who stood by, found it hard to look on, and muttered under his breath, “Pu Zongyang, your voice is much shriller than Miss Lu’s…

Besides, she was discussing serious matters, not chitchatting.”

Pu Zongyang shot back without any politeness, “Mind your own business!”

The situation had become somewhat ugly.

Xin Bo’s face turned awkward as he noticed the growing chill in Lu Mian’s demeanor.

He quickly looked up and met her frost-laden eyes, feeling a shiver in his heart.

He hurriedly pressed Pu Zongyang, “Miss Lu is kindly reminding us, you should promptly apologize to Miss Lu!”

“Xin Bo…” Pu Zongyang was reluctant, but under Xin Bo’s pressure, he could only mumble a half-hearted apology.

After speaking, he added.

“Miss Lu, there’s no need for you to worry about the temperature.

We have real-time detectors here, and we check the weather forecast.

Moreover, we’ve been stationed here in Luoxia Town for two years already, and we know the climate and temperature like the back of our hand, better than you do.”

He said a lot, but essentially, it meant to tell Lu Mian to mind her own business.

“As for you, please afford Mr.

Xiao a bit more freedom, so he can spend some time in the lab.”

Pu Zongyang became more and more excessive as he spoke, and Xin Bo quickly pulled him aside.

“Miss Lu, he just speaks more straightforwardly; please don’t take it to heart.

It’s just that he’s become foolish from all the experimenting, his words don’t pass through his brain…”

Lu Mian glanced at Pu Zongyang.

If it weren’t for the RE Factor, she really wanted to crack open his skull to see if it contained knowledge or a cesspit.

“It doesn’t matter,” Lu Mian said indifferently, “Xin Bo, remember to keep an eye on the temperature tonight, I’m going upstairs.”

“Okay, okay, take care…”

Lu Mian was about to leave when Xin Yuelu returned with her phone, shaking her head with a not-so-good expression.

“My classmate must be busy; I couldn’t get through.

I’ll try again later,” she said with a sigh, then turned to Dong Li with an even more serious look, “Dong Li, look at the trouble you’ve caused, none of us are going to have a good night’s sleep now.”

Dong Li grew even more aggrieved, “I was just using my phone normally, I really didn’t know it would freeze up…”

Lu Mian had just been in the kitchen and had overheard their talk about the phone.

She was about to step out when she paused.

Turning around with one hand holding the tray, she looked back at Dong Li, “What’s wrong with your phone?”

“It just froze up, won’t start.

Group Leader Yuelu suspects that I’ve been hacked…”

Lu Mian walked back over and reached out a hand, “Let me have a look.”

“Oh.”

Dong Li obediently handed over the phone, which had turned into a brick.

Lu Mian balanced the tray in one hand while casually examining the phone.

She looked laidback and unfocused, not even setting down the objects in her hand, giving off the impression that she wasn’t likely to fix it.

“Pretending to know when you don’t, is that necessary!” Pu Zongyang murmured a piece of criticism.

Xin Yuelu spoke gently, “Miss Lu, the phone issue is a big concern, I suggest we still find a professional to look at it…

You are young and might not be aware of all the ins and outs…”

As she was speaking, Lu Mian somehow fiddled with something, and the phone screen, which previously wouldn’t turn on, miraculously lit up.
