Originally, this person was planning to invite Shen Feixian to join the company and sign a contract before paying out money, but Shen Feixian didn't even think before rejecting it.
Now it has changed to any conditions being acceptable, and asking him to think of his family.
The junior sister was indeed planning to rent a big house.
Shen Feixian knew about the heavy responsibility on the junior sister's shoulders, and very much wanted to help relieve the junior sister's worries.
However, directly giving money was unrealistic.
After a few minutes, Tang Jun finally received a reply from the chat window.
[What's the matter?]
Tang Jun quickly told him that there was an internal traitor within, data had been sold, and the network defense and resisting enemy attacks needed to be modified.
Although this matter could not be solved by one or two people, Tang Jun somehow had confidence in the person on the other side of the screen.
Look, he had come over!
And was asking what the matter was, without correcting his term "old man", which showed that his guess was right!
After Shen Feixian read it, he immediately gave a reply. [Which port? Let me take a look. I'm about to go to sleep.]
Tang Jun immediately poured out all the information.
Anyway, if this matter wasn't resolved in a few days, the whole world would know, those hackers could come take a look if they wanted, it wouldn't make a difference if there was one more person.
But this person wasn't so free, and probably didn't have any interest to come over and take a look.
Shen Feixian found the crux of the issue, and started tapping quickly on the keyboard, with a long string of letters flashing rapidly on the screen.
A few minutes later, Shen Feixian's hands left the keyboard, but the words on the computer screen still flickered.
Half an hour later —
[Done, anything else?]
On Tang Jun's side, he was staring at the screen pondering the information on it, when he suddenly heard exclamations of surprise from colleagues beside him.
"What's going on?"
"What are they doing? How did it directly get restored!"
At the same time, at this place, many people sitting in front of their brightly-lit computer screens late into the night issued similar exclamations.
Why did this wave of attacks end so quickly?
Taking another look at the network status, it was very healthy. What was going on?
Tang Jun blanked out for a few seconds, then lightly tapped out a few words on the keyboard. [Old man, is it really you?]
Tang Jun struggled for a bit, then deleted those words again. [Old man, success! We won!]
Shen Feixian yawned, rather sleepy now. Seeing the other person typing, he didn't have any mood to chat idly.
Shen Feixian: Let's talk about remuneration.
Tang Jun: You say, how much do you want?
Since it was an expert who could easily solve such a huge problem, the outlay definitely wouldn't be low.
Shen Feixian didn't know how much either. He directly typed: How much can you give me?
How much could he give?
Tang Jun thought hard, and reported a number. This was what he could take out from his savings. What the superiors would give as bonus should be more than what he could take out. But he still had to report this matter to the superiors, and not take the tiniest bit that belonged to the expert.
After all, the other was an expert.
There were no secrets on the Internet. It was not that the old man didn't know, but rather he didn't check and find out, instead of not knowing.
[I'll give you 500,000 first. The remaining bonus might take some days before I can send it over. If convenient, could you provide your bank account number?]
Tang Jun was loudly calculating in his heart!
Once he knew the bank account number, wouldn't it become much easier to investigate next!
However, it was possible for the old man to provide a foreign bank account, not a domestic one. Tang Jun pondered, then started struggling again.
Although domestic and overseas transfers were very common, a old man who had just learnt to go online probably wouldn't dabble in these things right.
Just when Tang Jun was agonizing over his own presumptuousness, another message came from the other side.
[Can it be changed to gold?]
Shen Feixian typed to ask.
Bank accounts and stuff truly were troublesome, but there were many valuable items, with many options to choose from.
Even before entering the immortal sect when he was still in the mortal world, he had used a lot of gold. Unfortunately after entering the immortal sect, he no longer had any mortal objects on him.
Exchanging gold for money, although there would be some losses, it was safer.
Seeing that the old man on the other side wanted gold, Tang Jun only had his guesses confirmed even more certainly, that it was indeed an old man.
Which youngster would think of wanting gold!
Gold was good, it retained value!
[Alright, I'll go arrange it for you tomorrow! Wait for me! Could you give me an address so I can deliver it over!]
Without any hesitation, Shen Feixian gave an address, basement level 1 storage locker at Shenghui Plaza building B in Y City. He would go collect it then.
Tang Jun firmly memorized this address, and couldn't help but start pondering further.
Y City should be the city the old man lived in! Otherwise he wouldn't ask for the item to be delivered so far. It wasn't considered very far, he would go buy gold tomorrow, and take a high speed rail to reach there by night.
But the timing to place the item had to be agreed on. Who knew, he might even get to meet that old man! If the old man saw affinity in him then, would he take him as a disciple!
Tang Jun loudly spun ideas in his mind.
With a ding dong, a mail came into the mailbox.
Before Tang Jun even managed to look at the mail, he saw another message from the old man in the chat window.
[I've sent the specifics of the fix to you first. If anything else crops up in future, just use this program to resolve it. I'm going to rest, let's chat another day!]
Tang Jun opened the mail and found it was a huge installation package. He happily started downloading the file, while bidding good night in the chat window.
Unfortunately, his good night didn't get sent out before the other side's profile picture went dark.
But it wasn't a big issue. With such a good start, there would surely be more and better interactions in future.
The old man wanted gold, which probably meant he didn't want excessive contact with him. Tang Jun thought, feeling that he should handle this matter well.
After Tang Jun finished downloading the package, he discovered there was also a usage instructions document on the homepage. Tang Jun silently marveled at how thoughtful this old man was!
As expected of the older generation, truly meticulous in their work.
Tang Jun happily opened the document, but his expression became extremely solemn after reading the document for barely 10 seconds.
The computer the old man ran the program on was from an overseas laboratory. The document even clearly labeled several different laboratories.
This was like using someone else's stove and iron from another family's home to forge a blade and attack others with it.
Considering safety and legal issues, they wouldn't normally do this...
Tang Jun blanked out in front of the screen for a long time, only feeling a sigh — ginger gets spicier with age!
Closing the computer, Shen Feixian softly and quietly returned to the room.
Feng Juechen was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.
As senior and junior martial brother who had been together for over a hundred years, this was the first time they were so intimate, sleeping pressed against each other daily.
Even so, their relationship was the same as before, neither cold nor hot.
Sensing that the room door opened, Feng Juechen opened his eyes and looked towards his senior martial brother.
The senior martial brother would stay in front of the computer for a very long time every day. He was already long used to it.
"Senior martial brother, you've returned to rest?"
"Mm, junior martial brother, sleep."
The two only exchanged a simple greeting, as calm and peaceful as an old married couple who had shared a bed for decades, before quietly falling asleep.
As for seemingly earning 500,000, Shen Feixian did not mention this to Feng Juechen at all. It wasn't because of issues with trust or distrust, purely because the money hadn't reached his hands.
The next morning, everyone was busy with their own matters. After having breakfast, they hurriedly went out the door.
As for Huo Ling'er, he insisted on staying home to watch cartoons with much effort.
Song Jixing could only prepare snacks and cartoons early for him, asking him to watch to his heart's content, while getting him to be careful watching the house door, and contact him immediately if anything happened.
Regarding the plan to rent a house, Song Jixing had kept it at heart all this while.
