Chapter 2041  : Scourge Ever since then, Ye Qingqiu had personally witnessed the Li Corporation getting busy.

The senior engineer of the newly established engineering department was ready.

It seemed that he had indeed made a lot of preparations in the past two years.

After the new year, they would start fighting.

Although Ye Qingqiu felt regretful, she could only stand by and do nothing about what Li Tingshen had planned for a long time.

That was the greatest help she could give him.

Even though she wanted to help him more.

But she didn’t have the chance.

She had once wandered around the engineering department when she had nothing to do. All of them looked like simple elites. All of them looked at the computer screen seriously and their fingers flew across the keyboard. The computer screen displayed codes that Ye Qingqiu could not understand even with her eyes narrowed.

The news of Ye Qingqiu’s marriage to the Li Corporation was no secret in Ping Cheng City.

Therefore, everyone in the engineering department didn’t take her appearance seriously. Moreover, they had been in the company recently and had heard rumors that she was lazy and incompetent. These code data belonged to a special high-level project. At her level, even if they brought the computer to her and let her look at it for three days and three nights, she wouldn’t understand it.

Although he wasn’t on guard against her, she was still his future lady boss. Even though he didn’t have the time, the management of the engineering department had to be tactful.

Looking around, the manager was a skinny and tall middle-aged man in a suit and leather jacket. He looked confident.

Everyone called him a high worker.

She didn’t have a beer belly and wasn’t bald. She was a humorous person who knew how to liven up the atmosphere in the lifeless engineering department.

It was simply the dream of programmers.

“Miss Ye, are you here for an inspection?”

Ye Qingqiu thought that he was humorous.

With her hands in the pockets of her beige dress, she swept her gaze across the computers with a serious expression and replied, “Uh-huh.”

“What instructions does Miss Ye have?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at him and stood in front of a desk. She could only understand a few familiar words on the screen.

“You can understand these… codes, but what about others? I’m talking about amateurs, like me…”

The employee smiled knowingly and patted the engineer on the desk. “Show it to our future lady boss…”

The engineer swiftly switched to the desktop. After a series of rapid knocks, a crisp and powerful enter key sounded.

A small picture appeared on the computer screen. A white kitten holding a lollipop was jumping back and forth. The words “Wish CEO Li and Madam Li a blissful life” flashed above her head.

The animation was simple, but Ye Qingqiu couldn’t help but sigh at the speed of the video.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand the code. What’s important is that you can understand the results, right, Mrs. Li?” Gao Gong said with a smile.

Ye Qingqiu nodded and said, “You guys are indeed impressive.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Madam.”

Ye Qingqiu left the engineering department and went online to check the introductory courses for engineers.

When Li Tingshen returned from the meeting, he saw the little woman squinting her eyes, wishing she could enter the computer.

He walked over and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her away from the computer. “You don’t want your eyes anymore?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at him and continued to stare at the computer screen. “The meeting is over.”

This perfunctory attitude made Li Tingshen very unhappy.

His gaze swept across the screen in front of her. Language C…

Frowning.

“Why are you looking at this?”

“It’s fun. I went to the engineering department today and they made an animation for me in two minutes… It’s quite fresh.”

Hearing this, Li Tingshen understood. Then, he chuckled and bent down to sit on the chair.

“You won’t be able to learn it. Give up.”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head and glared at him, but she didn’t insist.

Most importantly, she felt that it was quite difficult to enter the sect.

She still planned to learn from him, but now that she had promised Li Tingshen that she would learn…

She couldn’t promise.

She might forget about it in a few days.

Li Tingshen had underestimated Ye Qingqiu’s patience.

For a week, she was reading a book in C Language.

He followed her to the company every day and went to the engineering department when he was free. He only saw her during lunch and after work.

It wasn’t the first time Ye Qingqiu had applied for leave in school. She was the little princess of Ping Cheng City. No one would think that she couldn’t graduate.

When she thought of it, she went to school. School had become her side job.

Xu Wenxuan chatted with her occasionally.

This afternoon, he suddenly knocked on her door. “I heard that you’ve been researching codes recently?”

Ye Qingqiu now knew how to write codes and formulas. She was quite confident.

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

“I’m also researching. There’s a senior from the finance department who’s an expert in programming. The school has a club too. Do you want to join?”

Ye Qingqiu replied, “Are you patient?”

She could tell that the people from the engineering department seemed to be getting impatient with her recently.

She was angry but didn’t dare to say anything.

“You have to. Besides, don’t you have me?”

“Alright, let’s go to school tomorrow.”

*

The next day, he only saw Li Tingshen but not Ye Qingqiu. The high-level worker was excited and asked Li Tingshen carefully in front of the elevator.

“CEO Li, Madam didn’t come with you today?”

Li Tingshen glanced at him indifferently. “To school.”

The high-level engineer and the engineers beside him suppressed their laughter.

Seeing this, Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

The employee coughed lightly and said tactfully, “It’s nothing. It’s just… Madam is thirsty for knowledge. We’re really… impressed.”

It was hard to miss the hidden meaning behind her words and tone.

The corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly. He was indeed good at torturing people.

“Make up for the past few days.”

The employee’s face fell and he suddenly felt that it was good to have Mrs. Xiao Li around.

At least they didn’t need to work overtime.

*

Ye Qingqiu joined the club Xu Wenxuan introduced without hesitation.

Xu Wenxuan seemed to have learned more than her. He had been teaching her patiently the entire time.

Before the club ended in the afternoon, Xu Wenxuan handed a USB drive to Ye Qingqiu. Seeing that she had been studying seriously these few days, he couldn’t help but ask,

“Why are you suddenly so interested in programming?”

Ye Qingqiu fiddled with the USB in her hand and said casually, “I just feel that it’s very impressive and interesting. Li Tingshen is developing a new project now. I might be able to help him if I learn a little.”

Xu Wenxuan’s eyes darkened before he said, “Since it’s a software development, it must be a high-level program code. We’re still three to five years away from that level.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t mind. “It’s good that I understand what they’re saying.”

Xu Wenxuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Ye Qingqiu suddenly raised the USB drive in her hand. “Why are you giving me this?”

Only then did Xu Wenxuan remember and said, “This USB drive has a program that I developed with Senior.”

Ye Qingqiu replied with an “Oh” and was about to insert the USB drive into the computer. “Let me see what kind of program it is.”

Xu Wenxuan quickly stopped her. “Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Wenxuan explained, “This is an empty USB drive. Those program codes are planted in the USB drive. It’s… a virus. You can’t see it.”

Ye Qingqiu opened her mouth in surprise. “Virus? So what’s the result of inserting it into the computer? Will the computer be scrapped?”

Xu Wenxuan nodded and shook his head. “This USB drive has a huge storage capacity. Once it’s inserted into the computer, it will automatically back up all the stored documents in the computer at the fastest speed without any operation. When all the documents are copied, the computer will die instantly.”

Ye Qingqiu was a little disgusted. “How can I use it? Even if I copy the document, how can I carry it?”

This seemed to be Xu Wenxuan’s pride. The usually gentle and polite boy had a smug look on his face.

“The ‘virus’ in its body will only transmit to a computer. If it’s inserted into the second computer, it will be an ordinary USB drive. However, the files inside are all hidden and will only show up after being cracked.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu found it interesting. “Is this used to prevent commercial spies?”

“That’s assuming the target is clear.”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head and sighed. “It’s a little troublesome. What about decoding?”

Xu Wenxuan shook his head. “I’m doing it now. I need time…”

“Then why did you give it to me? It’s useless to me.”

“It’s my work after all. I’ll leave it for you as a memento.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and placed it in her bag.

“Remember to give me a copy of the cracked version when it’s released.”

“Of course.”

The sky had darkened. The two of them chatted as they walked out of the school.

“Have you arranged for a car to pick you up? If not, I can send you back.”

“Oh, there’s no need. Li Tingshen said that he would pick me up…”

Before she could finish speaking, someone bumped into her shoulder and her bag fell to the ground. Her body tilted and Xu Wenxuan quickly helped her up.

“Sorry…”

That person apologized in a low voice. Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to argue with him, but before she could steady herself, Xu Wenxuan stood in front of her and shielded her.

Puzzled, Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Qin Jianjia, whom she had not seen for some time.

Qin Hao seemed to have recognized them. He stared at her for a while and sneered, “Miss Ye, putting everything else aside, we’re actually fated, right?”

Qin Hao’s face was a little haggard. The usually elegant and elegant young master of the Qin family was now a little disheveled.

Her slightly long hair was simply styled and dry.

There was also a stubble on her chin and her clothes were wrinkled.

It was obvious that he was trying to maintain his image, but he seemed to be in a worse state.

Although Ye Qingqiu was almost bullied by him back then, she really felt that the Qin family was wronged, and Qin Hao was even more wronged.

He had crippled his manhood and the Qin family had been implicated. Now, he was in this state…

Ye Qingqiu actually felt a little sympathetic.

“Young Master Qin, there shouldn’t be anything else, right?”

Xu Wenxuan interrupted Qin Jianjia’s attempt to talk to Ye Qingqiu and looked at her warily.

Qin Jianjia laughed sarcastically. “No. The eldest daughter of the Ye family is indeed loved by everyone. I heard that you’re getting married in a month. Congratulations in advance.”

Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked towards the school gate.

After watching him leave, Xu Wenxuan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ye Qingqiu.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s fine. You blocked the entire process.”

Xu Wenxuan bent down to pick up her bag and handed it to her.

“Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. I thought you wouldn’t see him at school, but we bumped into each other on the last day.”

Ye Qingqiu took the bag and asked curiously, “What last day?”

“Qin Hao came to school today to withdraw from school. After all, something big has happened at home. He… will inevitably receive guidance from his classmates in school. It’s good to withdraw.”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Ye Qingqiu could understand what he meant.

“Oh,” Ye Qingqiu replied calmly. “Indeed.”

“He’s the only one left in the Qin family now. Those who brought their relatives away are avoiding him now. I heard that he sold all the properties under his name two days ago. I wonder what he wants to do.”

Ye Qingqiu paused. “Sell it?”

“Yes.” Xu Wenxuan nodded. “There’s no lack of rich young masters and young ladies in the school. A few of them were bought from him. It’s a good thing if he wants to use this money to make a comeback, but I’m afraid he’ll go overboard. I heard that he had a conflict with Li Tingshen not long ago. Go back and remind him to be careful.”

Ye Qingqiu’s expression was solemn.

At the school gate, a familiar luxury car was parked. It was a low-profile and calm black car.

The students who went out in twos and threes turned their heads.

Ye Qingqiu naturally recognized whose car it was. She stopped in her tracks and turned to bid farewell to Xu Wenxuan. The car that had been parked there silently was suddenly opened.

Li Tingshen’s tall and slender figure got out of the car. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his face was cold. Everyone around him gasped.

Everyone recognized him.

At least in this school, he had already established himself in the upper-class business circle despite his young age. He was already a well-known figure in the school.

It was just that he rarely came to school and they rarely saw him. He had been living in rumors.

Now that she saw him in person, she was naturally surprised and delighted.

Before Ye Qingqiu could finish bidding farewell to Xu Wenxuan, she was interrupted by excited whispers.

A few girls stood on the school monument beside her and jumped up excitedly.

Was it that exaggerated?

She turned her body and looked at Li Tingshen again.

Uh…

Hmm…

It was indeed worthy of such exaggeration.

However, his expression wasn’t too good now. His long eyebrows were cold, and even from afar, one could see his eyes that were as deep as an abyss.

Ye Qingqiu finally recalled that the man had some conflict with Xu Wenxuan.

However, Xu Wenxuan had kindly reminded her to be careful of Qin Jianjia.

In comparison, Li Tingshen’s current attitude was not very likable.

“Alright, I’ll go back first. Be careful on your way back.”

Although she wasn’t likable, she couldn’t continue to provoke him.

Xu Wenxuan smiled and nodded. “You too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.”

“Okay.”

The two of them smiled and waved goodbye. Li Tingshen’s expression darkened.

When Ye Qingqiu walked closer and saw Li Tingshen’s stern face, she felt angry and amused.

“Who provoked you?”
