70: Chapter 70 Internet Conference

Wang Jincai was all talk; he chickened out when it came to the crunch. His physique was no match for Song Yuan, and he had some self-awareness.

"Song Yuan, just wait to be embarrassed later. A small, broken company like yours, just registered, with fewer than twenty employees in total, dares to come to the Internet Conference?

It's laughable!"

Song Yuan sneered,

"I hope you can still laugh later."

Li Mingqi found Wang Jincai too chatty and said with some impatience,

"Alright, shut up, it's time to go in."

Li Mingqi led his two capable subordinates into the hotel. Just before entering, Liang Kuan looked back at Song Yuan.

Lu Chi felt a bit uncomfortable,

"Do you know that person? I feel like he has a grudge against you."

"Don't worry about him. That person always has a gloomy face. This is what you call a petty person's constant anxiety."

Lu Chi cursed,

"Damn, what kind of people are in Tianyu Company? Does James look like that?"

Song Yuan asked him,

"Do you really believe it?"

"No, I'd rather believe you are James than him."

Song Yuan didn't reply. They showed their entry tickets and went in.

The highlights of this Internet Conference were AI intelligence, digital security, and smart education.

Several leading companies showcased their research achievements, and the remaining time was for free networking.

Song Yuan and Lu Chi set their sights on Ji City, who was conversing with someone not far away.

Ji City is the founder of Ji's Capital, known as the "Cash King" of the Beijing Circle. He is famous for his love of investing and his keen eye; his invested projects generally develop very well.

However, such top-tier magnates are usually very difficult to approach. It is rare for an ordinary person to have a few minutes to speak with him.

Song Yuan was thinking about how to approach him. He believed his product was excellent, but first, he needed an opportunity to showcase it.

Song Yuan felt the business cards in his pocket. Not far away, two more magnates, figures usually only seen on financial channels, joined the conversation with Ji City.

As he was worrying, he saw Li Mingqi approaching with his two lackeys.

Tianyu Company is not large, but it is listed. Li Mingqi could barely shamelessly squeeze into the upper circles to gain exposure.

Song Yuan stood not far away, listening quietly.

Li Mingqi first took out his phone to display the mobile game they were currently developing. After a thorough introduction, he began to boast about his team.

He grandly introduced the newly recruited CTO, Liang Kuan,

"President Ji, General Manager Zhang, Huo, this is a great talent I spent a lot of effort to poach. He is the famous hacker James, who infiltrated a certain tech company on Wall Street."

After Li Mingqi finished speaking, several magnates looked at Liang Kuan with surprised expressions.

Clearly, Li Mingqi's mobile game did not attract as much attention as the person standing before them.

In the Internet circle, who hasn't heard of the hacker James? Even busy CEOs know how difficult James is to poach. He never reveals his identity in real life, and no headhunter has ever succeeded.

For so many years, no one knew any information about James, including his gender or nationality.

Could it be this young man in front of them?

As soon as James's name was called out, more people were drawn over, quickly forming a circle around them as if at the center of gossip.

Ji City smiled and said,

"I heard no one could find James. What method did General Manager Li use to keep this talented hacker as your CTO?"

Li Mingqi smiled and nodded,

"This is a private relationship between James and me, so I won't discuss it here. Our main purpose today is to bring a project, and we hope all the general managers will pay attention. Even if you don't believe me, you can believe James, right?

With him, there's no problem we can't solve."

The others also laughed and chimed in,

"Naturally. Since you've managed to invite James, if he can't solve it, then no one else needs to try."

In just a few minutes, Li Mingqi had already handed out several business cards.

Song Yuan listened to their conversation while he had already opened his laptop.

In just a few minutes, he hacked the main computer connected to the display screen. After he was done, he closed the laptop and handed it to Lu Chi. His actions were swift and precise, and no one noticed what he had done.

Soon, someone in the crowd noticed that the display screen had gone black, showing several large characters: 'Hacker Attack!'

The staff member operating the computer shouted,

"Our computer has been hacked? Who hacked our computer!"

Everyone looked towards the front. At this moment, Song Yuan had already walked into the group of people chatting, centered around Ji City.

"What a pity, I hadn't finished watching the AI hospital being shown on the display screen. Mr. James should be able to solve this small problem, right?"

Liang Kuan looked at Song Yuan, his brows furrowed slightly.

Wang Jincai, who was standing nearby, snorted,

"Of course! This little trick is nothing in front of our CTO. Isn't this a problem that can be solved in ten minutes?"

Li Mingqi's face showed a confident smile. He was just fretting about not having an opportunity to show off his great talent, and now the opportunity had arrived!

"Ten minutes is underestimating James's ability. My Tianyu Company's CTO won't take more than five minutes to solve this small problem."

After Li Mingqi spoke, the focus naturally shifted to Liang Kuan.

The people around chimed in,

"Today, it's fortunate that our top hacker is here. Otherwise, if the conference encountered something like this, no one would really be able to solve it. The organizers would be crying!

"Perhaps the person who hacked our system didn't know James was present. This time, he's certainly hit a brick wall. Let's show the other party a thing or two, and tell him if his skills are inferior, he should change professions."

"Exactly, exactly! We must teach him a lesson! And he doesn't even look at what kind of occasion this is, daring to hack computers at the Internet Conference with so many media present. Won't this be in the news tomorrow?"

Everyone started discussing animatedly.

Liang Kuan looked at the media filming them not far away but remained silent.

Song Yuan looked at his old classmate and couldn't help but cheer him on,

"Mr. James won't just ignore it, will he?"

Liang Kuan looked over at him. Their gazes met, and a subtle competition seemed to be brewing between them.

The staff member responsible for managing the computer ran over for help,

"Mr. James, could you please help us solve the computer problem? Others really can't fix it! If it's not fixed, our boss will deduct our salaries tomorrow. Please!"

The young woman's plea for help drew laughter from the group of magnates. Someone comforted her,

"Don't worry, normally no one would save you, but today we have a world-class hacker present. Your salary won't be deducted. Let everyone witness James's brilliance. Maybe your boss will even give you a raise tomorrow!"

"Yes, a raise! Those present today are in luck; they get to see hacker James in a live battle!"

"This incident today is big news in our Internet community; it's sure to be front-page news tomorrow!"
