    Shen Dian said nothing more, lifted his head to nce at the big screen, and then announced, “Let’s begin.”


    Gu Xiang didn’t rush to attack Wen Xin’sputer. Instead, she called up the code page and added anotheryer of code on her firewall, strengthening her defenses.


    While she was busy with this, there was no sign of activity on her firewall.


    Curious, she turned to look at Wen Xin, who hadn’t made any move to attack.


    Wen Xin was leisurely tapping on the keyboard with one hand, her other hand resting carelessly on the table, her long, beautiful fingers moving effortlessly. She seemed indifferent, or perhaps genuinely clueless…


    Gu Xiang couldn’t figure out what Wen Xin was doing, but out of respect for her own craft, she didn’t let her guard down. She wanted to impress everyone with her skills and secure her spot at Tianye Technology.


    Her gaze dropped, and she no longer watched Wen Xin, her fingers rapidly tapping out code on the keyboard, her speed seemingly a testament to her abilities.


    Behind her, a group familiar with coding watched the big screen, marveling at Gu Xiang’s skills while perplexed by Wen Xin’s apparent inaction.


    “That woman who got in through the back door is just a pretty face, right? I thought she’d at least put up a fight, but it seems she’s just a clueless newbie, embarrassing herself! Now, even if she got in through connections, she’ll be theughingstock of everyone.”


    “I’m actuallyughing. If you’re going to get in through connections, at least have some skills. How does such a novice expect to get by in the tech department? Isn’t she afraid of being ridiculed to death?”


    “If such a person can get into Tianye Technology, then it’s worth reconsidering whether to join thispany or not. If Kenyatta finds out thepany she’s supporting has such people, would she cut ties in anger?”


    Not only did the applicants think Wen Xin was ipetent, but Gu Xiang also felt victory was near. Watching the lines of code leap across herputer screen, she smiled, confident her virus had sessfully infiltrated Wen Xin’s system.


    She finally allowed herself to rx after being tense the whole time.


    Having breached the firewall on Wen Xin’sputer port, she hit the enter key forcefully and looked up at Wen Xin with a confident smile.


    At that moment, the screen disying the flickering code and port numbers plunged into darkness.


    Her face paled, and she frantically typed out a string of code in an attempt to salvage the situation.


    But theputer remained dark, though the power indicator was on, clearly showing she had been counter-hacked by Wen Xin.


    Gu Xiang ceased struggling, her hands falling limply to the desk, feeling icy cold and utterly confused about what had gone wrong.


    She stiffly looked up at Wen Xin. Wen Xin was just someone who had used connections to get in; how could she have hacking skills? Gu Xiang was sure, not even the president of the Hacker Alliance had skills like Wen Xin.


    “You…” Gu Xiang’s pride wouldn’t let her admit defeat, but the fact that she had lost was undeniable, leaving no room for dispute.


    “What’s going on? The third-ce winner of the ck Hat Conference lost to someone who got in through the back door? Is this a joke?”


    “Is she really from the Hacker Alliance? A hacker being counter-hacked, that’s got to be the shame of her life, right?”


    The mood behind her shifted from previous admiration to skepticism and some even made snide remarks.


    “Being skilled doesn’t mean you can act like this. Why not just take the assessment seriously? Now look where it’s gotten you. Forget another chance at assessment; if this gets out, the Hacker Alliance might just expel her, right?”


    Wen Xin stood up and looked around at everyone before her gaze settled on Gu Xiang, raising an eyebrow, “You’re quite talented, but in front of me, your methods are simply not enough!”


    “Also, let me rify something for you all; I’m not here to apply for a job, and there’s no issue of me using connections. Please focus on your interviews and assessments. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”


    “Little Miss Wen, let me see you out…” Shen Dian watched Wen Xin pick up her bag and stride confidently out of the conference room, quickly following her out.


    After seeing Wen Xin off, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. That was exhrating; he was really worried that the usually short-tempered Wen Xin would chase everyone out in a fit of anger.


    However, it seems today the big shot was in a really good mood, not only did she not lose her temper, she even kindly rified the rumors about herself.


    Shen Dian returned to the conference room and saw Gu Xiang still sitting there, dazed. He walked over to her and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, but you’ve failed today’s assessment, and your challenge was unsessful.


    Unfortunately, it does not meet ourpany’s assessment standards. We look


    forward to seeing you again!”


    Actually, Shen Dian felt somewhat regretful about Gu Xiang. He had seen her performance, and if she hadn’t taken such a self-destructive path, she could have sessfully entered the technical department of Tianye Technology Company.


    Gu Xiang, with her head down, said nothing. She stood up from her seat, not daring to meet the eyes of those around her. She had wanted to embarrass Wen Xin, but unexpectedly, with her own abilities, she had no chance to resist and was nailed to the pir of shame.


    Wen Xin, carrying her backpack and holding the documents, walked towards President Yuan’s office.


    As Wen Xin reached the door of President Yuan’s office, it just happened to open. An elegant and capable woman walked out of President Yuan’s office. Exuding a strong presence, she clearly was a business elite who had been battling in the market for a long time.


    Mu Chengxu was momentarily stunned when she saw Wen Xin standing outside the door. Although she was worldly and knowledgeable, this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl, with such exquisite features.


    “You’re here. Go inside the office and wait for me; I’ll send the guest out first…” President Yuan was slightly surprised to see Wen Xin outside his office and immediately told her to go in and wait for him.


    Wen Xin just nodded faintly at Mu Chengxu and then walked into President Yuan’s office.


    Watching the girl’s retreating figure, Mu Chengxu withdrew her gaze and teasingly raised an eyebrow at President Yuan, “Your little girlfriend? You’ve kept it quite secret, haven’t you? There are rumors in the capital that President Yuan is single…”


    Hearing Mu Chengxu’s joking words, President Yuan’s first reaction was that this misunderstanding was too big. He wouldn’t dare have any improper thoughts about this youngdy; otherwise, Mu Chengxi would surely make him pay a hundredfold.


    “Miss Mu, you’ve misunderstood. She’s just a business partner of mine, and she’s already spoken for. I wouldn’t dare to entertain any improper thoughts..”
