Qiao Ying was bored and idle. She randomly selected an information building in a certain country using the computer in the microcomputer room, and modified the building's lighting control system. Regardless of the life and death of the technical staff of the building, she started playing Snake.
This single action made the local government nervous.
While she was playing, she was called by the counselor.
Several male students thought Qiao Ying had finished her coursework and left. However, they were attracted by Qiao Ying's computer and accidentally pressed a key, triggering a counterattack from the information building against the entire security system of Capital University.
Due to the curiosity and carelessness of these male students, the security system of Capital University was nearly destroyed. When Qiao Ying returned, she immediately began repairing it.
The male students discovered that all the computers in the microcomputer room had black screens, and their smartphones with campus cards were also affected.
Not only the microcomputer room but also the research and experimental teaching building, where the group of graduate students and mentors were, had the most intense reactions. Years of research results were almost lost.
It was a terrifying situation, worse than the sky falling.
The male students realized that they might have caused trouble and dared not speak. They stared at Qiao Ying, who was typing on the keyboard, but did not dare to ask.
Capital University fell into a brief chaos but quickly returned to normal.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhang Chengyong understood that it was not something ordinary technicians could solve. He immediately thought of seeking help and instructed the department head, "Find Qiao Ying," while taking out his cellphone.
The department head, who had an anxious expression, was about to ask something when he suddenly noticed that the computer screen was working again. "Oh, it's fixed," he said.
The department head tapped on the keyboard, and there was no problem at all. "I'll go and see what's going on." He left while saying that.
Principal Han of Hanxi University said, "Principal Zhang, the security system of your school is not good. The security system in Hanxi University was developed by a highly paid programmer from Russia who is a national treasure-level talent. If you need it, I can introduce you. It's all for the sake of the children. We can't be careless with their things."
Zhang Chengyong, who had just lost a game and then became the laughingstock in front of everyone, felt utterly embarrassed. "There's something happening at my school. I have to go and take a look. I won't entertain you," he said, wanting to quickly send the person away.
However, Principal Han of Hanxi University, under the guise of concern, didn't want to miss this opportunity to watch the excitement. Zhang Chengyong was in a dilemma, unsure of whether to stay or leave.
Soon, the department head returned with the computer. "It's all fine, none of the research data leaked," he said.
At this moment, Qiao Ying appeared.
"Qiao Ying, do you know about the attack on the security system of Capital University?" Zhang Chengyong thought Qiao Ying had come to inquire about the situation.
Qiao Ying blinked and replied vaguely, "Oh, did you not call the police?"
Upon hearing her words, Zhang Chengyong had a somewhat bad premonition and asked cautiously, "Qiao Ying, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
With a guest present, Qiao Ying casually said, "Of course not."
Then she walked over and sat down naturally.
Lowering her voice, she said to Zhang Chengyong, "The security system of Capital University was attacked by hackers, and I discovered it immediately and tried to stop it."
Zhang Chengyong thought it sounded a bit unbelievable.
Qiao Ying then picked up her teacup, covering half of her face, and added, "I'll be more careful next time."
Zhang Chengyong widened his eyes and looked at her, "???"
"What does it mean?"
Qiao Ying wanted to say that it wasn't entirely her fault. Those few guys were just too careless, and the computer configuration in the computer room was too low.
If it were her own computer, the other side wouldn't have been able to break through her firewall, let alone trace her.
Zhang Chengyong asked, "So what exactly happened?"
Qiao Ying replied, "I've been hacked."
Zhang Chengyong felt a lump in his throat and was shocked deep inside.
The security system at Capital University was provided by the government. If they were indeed hacked, it showed the strength of the hacker, and it also revealed the capabilities of Qiao Ying, who defeated the hacker.
Zhang Chengyong suddenly thought, could it be that Qiao Ying was personally involved in the nationwide network paralysis incident in May?
Suppressing the storm of astonishment in his heart, Zhang Chengyong whispered, "Qiao, although I've always been curious about your computer skills, I didn't want to witness your abilities in this way."
It almost gave him a heart attack.
Qiao Ying said, "As compensation, I will strengthen the security system and firewall at Capital University."
Principal Han Xi observed Qiao Ying while listening to the private conversation between the two of them.
Ever since Qiao Ying entered, Principal Han Xi had been staring at her. At first glance, he recognized her as the student who had caused the whole Hanxi University to lose face last year.
Because of Qiao Ying, they had the computer competition this year.
Principal Han Xi said, "So you must be Qiao Ying?"
Qiao Ying glanced at him and her phone vibrated at that moment. She checked it and saw that it was a call from Sack.
Qiao Ying answered the call, "What's up?"
Sack hesitated and stammered, "Are you... busy?"
Qiao Ying replied, "Not busy."
After a moment of silence on the other end, Sack suddenly said, "Can you win back Qiao Yi for me?"
Qiao Ying raised an eyebrow, "Lose in a competition?"
Teasing him, Qiao Ying said, "Sure, just call me."
After struggling for a while, Sack replied with a touch of emotion, "He's not my little brother, you know."
And then he hung up.
Qiao Ying couldn't help but cry and laugh. At this moment, from Principal Zhang's address to this guest, she learned that this person was Principal Han Xi.
So Qiao Ying asked, "Does our school have a computer competition with Hanxi? Principal Zhang, why didn't you let me participate?"
Playing the whole act, Qiao Ying glanced at her phone as if she had just learned this news from it.
Her words interrupted the conversation between the two principals.
Zhang Chengyong was about to say, "Didn't I let you participate? I almost knelt down begging you."
Qiao Ying gave him a look,
Zhang Chengyong immediately understood and said, "It's not like last year's basketball game, Qiao, you were a bit too ruthless, it caused quite a psychological impact on Hanxi. We are neighbors, one family, harmony is most important. If you were to be sent again this year..."
Zhang Chengyong looked at Principal Han Xi across from him and gestured, "Not appropriate, not appropriate. Principal Han, you're getting older, and we should understand the importance of courtesy."
Principal Han Xi couldn't sit still and said, "What does that mean, Principal Zhang? Your words make me uncomfortable..."
Qiao Ying: "Principal Zhang, you're magnanimous, but my classmates and I are not happy with this outcome. If you let me participate, the result won't be like this."
Principal Han Xi immediately looked at Qiao Ying and said, "Young man, be careful with your words. My student has real abilities. If you don't believe it, we can compete again."
Then he turned to Zhang Chengyong and said, "Although this is a friendly match, the most important thing in a competition is to give it your all. Not doing so is disrespectful to the opponent. Are you looking down on us, Hanxi University?"
Principal Zhang apologized, "Principal Han, please don't be angry. It's just... I didn't handle things properly."
Principal Han Xi said, "Enough talk. Let's have a rematch. I want Capital University to lose and accept it wholeheartedly."
Zhang Chengyong glanced at Qiao Ying secretly.
Seeing Qiao Ying nodding, Zhang Chengyong immediately agreed.
Qiao Ying said, "This match lacks enthusiasm without some stakes. Last year's basketball game, the bets were not very tasteful."
As soon as the basketball game was mentioned, Principal Han Xi's face turned sour.
Everyone in the major universities knew that the students from Hanxi University lost so badly that they almost lost their dignity, returning to Hanxi University naked, chanting "Capital University is the best." They even almost got caught by the traffic police on the way back.
For over a month after that, Principal Han Xi had nightmares every day and couldn't lift his head in front of other university principals.
Zhang Chengyong looked at Qiao Ying and wondered, "What is he up to again?"
Principal Han Xi's tone wasn't very pleasant, "What kind of tasteful enthusiasm do you want, students?"
