"Hello," Xiang Shan said, cradling his arms and greeting Hartman amiably.
Hartman, who was originally spacing out, snapped to attention. He immediately stood up and said loudly, "Yes, sir!"
"Well... I'm not your superior..."
"Leader of the Hanuman Task Group, Xiang Shan. It's you, no mistake. For now, you are my superior," Hartman insisted.
Xiang Shan hadn't expected the hacker to be so straight-laced. He felt a bit embarrassed and simply asked, "What are you doing now?"
"Are you inquiring about the progress of the work, sir?"
Hartman's voice was quite loud, and several of the security department people nearby heard him. They glanced over, saw it was Xiang Shan, and decided not to intervene.
After all, Xiang Shan was indeed the boss. Plus, these days the boss had been trying all means to "exchange academic thoughts with those hackers." Now that Hartman was there, it was only natural for the boss to ask a question.
After all, there really was nothing he couldn't ask.
