Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Such a Reason is Also Ridiculous

Bai Chengxi helplessly shook his head. As a friend of many years, how could he not know Mu Shuoqian’s preferences? Love admiration? Definitely not. He’s a creature completely immune to women, so it must be the latter reason.

"Did I offend you?"

"Kind of."

"The reason?" Bai Chengxi wanted to get to the bottom of it today.

"Reason?" Mu Shuoqian took a lighter to light a cigarette, and said leisurely, "Because someone hates her and doesn’t like her."

Bai Chengxi: "..."

Such a reason also left him speechless.

That day, when Gu Qili argued with Deng Feifei, although Mu Shuoqian was sitting in the hotel, he saw everything happening outside the hotel clearly. Gu Qili thought he didn’t know, but in fact, he had overseen everything.

As for what they actually said, he wasn’t clear, nor did he need to be. Anyway, whatever she said was right.

"I did promise Deng Feifei’s father to ensure her smooth career path. She’s just a third-tier little star, no need for the Second Young Master of Mu Family to be so petty with her, right? Look, I’ve always been a man of my word, principled, and I stick to my promises..."

Mu Shuoqian cut him off: "The investment for your company’s new film..."

"Being inflexible and overly principled makes one a fool, actually I’m not always staunchly committed to my word, it depends on the person."

"Then that’s happily decided." Mu Shuoqian hung up the phone.

Bai Chengxi, speechless, stared at the now dark screen, feeling this matter was very strange.

Unable to resist his curiosity, he hurriedly called Zhuo Yanbei.

"Yanbei, Yanbei, I have some explosive news, do you want to hear it?"

Zhuo Yanbei yawned, completely uninterested: "I also have some explosive news, do you want to hear it?"

"Damn, bargaining with me."

"Mr. Bai, please mind your language, who is Yanbei?" Such a disgusting nickname, it’s surprising he could utter it.

"Among us brothers, you’re the youngest. Calling you by your nickname is a form of endearment, cut the crap, let’s get to the main point."

"You first." Zhuo Yanbei seemed uninterested which really frustrated Bai Chengxi. His heart was caught in a whirlwind of curiosity, urgently needing someone to pull him out.

"Fine, you’re the younger one, I’ll let you have this." He was always calm in handling matters, but this time he was truly excited, "Shuoqian actually told me to deal with a third-tier female star’s grievances... It’s a female star, a woman, really a woman."

His tone clearly rose when he mentioned women, as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhuo Yanbei finally responded seriously: "Early this morning, he called me, wanting me to hack the Australian University’s internal network."

"Not normal." Bai Chengxi repeated firmly, "Too abnormal."

This was indeed abnormal. Since Australian University had its network, for the first time in its century-long history, the internal network was paralyzed.

As soon as Gu Qili returned to her dormitory, Mickey burst out with this explosive news. Now everyone at Australian University was buzzing with discussions.

"That’s great, finally no more of those annoying comments." Mickey slid down from the upper bunk ladder, sitting side by side with Gu Qili on her bed, looking even happier than her.

Gu Qili was shocked. How could the school make such a basic mistake—having its internal network hacked? It was embarrassing to even mention.

"Don’t believe me? Look." Mickey was still riding the high of excitement, blinking mysteriously, "There’s an Easter egg."

Gu Qili turned on the computer, skillfully logged into the internal network, and after a blank page displayed for a while, an image finally popped up.

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The image that popped up was the school president on the toilet, playing with his phone, yet he had solemnly decried the rising obsession with mobile phones at the last major meeting.
