The number on the screen wasn't that big. It was only about a foot tall, but to Feng Xiaotan it was like an enormous boulder of stone crushing his whole body. He eyed Sera's calm expression as the announcer announced her as the winner. "Did you find anything?" he asked.
"She is an orphan, twenty-three, a fresh graduate from Bright University. It's the top university in Pane City. She graduated top of her class too and created multiple software for the school."
"Does she have a job?" Feng Xiaotan asked.
"This— "
"What?" he hissed.
"Well, she doesn't have any jobs. As far as I know, she creates software for people. According to her classmates before she makes everyone's project for money. And that's how she survived in an expensive university like that."
"Just from projects?" It sounded too impossible. Bright University is the top university in this City. It's not only considered best in academe but also pretty expensive. Most people who got into the school are kids from rich families or scholars. "Ah, she must have a scholarship."
"Yes, Sir."
"Then recruit her."
"Eh?" The man stared at Feng Xiaotan. This young master was always arrogant and thinks he is above everyone else. While they didn't win in the regionals, the Feng Brothers are still considered the king of CTF in this City. "Recruit… Recruit Miss Zhang?"
"Her skills are excellent. Recruit her." He was arrogant, but he also recognized talents. How could he let go of this opportunity?
Seeing Feng Xiaotan's resolute gaze, the man nodded and walked towards…" Eh? Where is she?"
Feng Xiaotan turned towards the stage and realized that the woman is no longer there. He frowned as he recalled the woman's blank face. "Find her and make her one of us." He said before leaving the area. He already had enough embarrassment for today.

Meanwhile, Sera was already enjoying her hotpot with Xu Je'er.
"Ah? I didn't know about this place!" Xu Je'er was really happy right now. As expected, Sera gave her a good show. She won and didn't give them a chance to save their face! Because of this, Xu Je'er had the opportunity to laugh at that woman who was scheming against their back. That woman actually thought that she could embarrass Sera Zhang!? How lame! "Ah, this is good! Eat… eat! Order everything. I will pay for everything."
Of course, Sera complied. Free food is still the best.
"Hey, Sera you are really good with computers. How about working for my Xu Family's company?"
"No."
"Aish… Then what do you want to do with your life? Your classmates must have already found a job by now. You are top of your class! A genius! And yet here you are…" This was truly a waste, ah. Xu Je'er already knows that Sera had a weird personality, but a job is important! With her status, how could she survive in this world, without one? "Listen, I will be the Company's future CEO. If you work with us, you will become my adviser. How about that?" She beamed.
"How could your father leave the company to you?" Sera said as she finished another mushroom. "If I am your father, I would never trust you with your company."
"You — " Xu Je'er pouted. "How could you say that? We are friends! Your supposed to support me in this kind of thing."
"Eh, a real friend would tell you the truth." Sera shrugged. She focused her attention on the plates of seafood. "You aren't really outstanding, Je'er. In the future, you need to work harder if you want to become the CEO." Talking to Xu Je'er really feels like she was talking to a child.

"Then just become my adviser."
"I am not good with business. I can't give you any advice."
Once again, Xu Je'er pouted. "My father also told me that I am not fit to become the CEO because I am not that smart."
"Your father loves you."
"…"
"If he doesn't love you, he would tell you are so outstanding. Now, that is a lie. Aside from your beautiful face, you have nothing else. Your brain is mediocre at best."
"You — How could you be so harsh?" Xu Je'er glared at her before laughing. She was already used to this woman's attitude. "At least you think I am beautiful. Father said that I can only find a good husband if I continue being like this."
Sera nodded in agreement. "If I was your father, I would say the same thing."
"…" This woman really loves to say the truth! "How could you ruin such a happy occasion?"
"Je'er you are ruining your own occasion," Sera said before she used her chopsticks and gave Xu Je'er some meat. "Here… just eat. If you feel bad, just eat. If you are sad, just eat. If you broke your heart, just eat. In this world, eating can solve everything."
"…"
"Oh, right… Don't forget to send me the money. I need it for my rent."
"…" As expected, this woman just loves money. "Sera… you are really good at changing the topic. I was asking you. What do you want to do with your talents? Are you going to waste it by doing illegal things?"
"No, I am planning to make software and sell it to companies."
This immediately attracted Xu Je'er's attention. "Then sell it to me! I will give it to my father!"
"You can't afford it."
"I am rich! Sera Zhang… you don't know this, but I am really rich."
"Rich people don't need to say that they are rich."
"…" Still so harsh! "Just sell it to me! How about this? My Xu Family will also introduce you to some of my father's contacts. Although we are not the richest, we are a very old family in this City! Everyone knows my Xu Family!"
"Hmmm. I will think about it." Aside from money, she really does need to build relationships with other companies. After all, she is starting her own security software company. "Je'er how about this… Why don't you work for me and my company?" she asked.
