"Brother Yang, could you please be more straightforward next time?" Zhou Chao was sitting in Xiao Yang's office, looking thoroughly disheartened as he gazed at Xiao Yang, who was sipping tea while sitting on an office chair.
"There's no way around it. It was a sudden assessment from higher-ups, and they wanted it to be treated as a real combat simulation. At first, I was worried about how to handle this assessment, but then I coincidentally ran into you!"
"So you're saying the auction we attended before was also a deliberate encounter?" Zhou Chao sat up on the couch, looking puzzled at Xiao Yang.
"Not exactly. It's just that we have some connections with the Li family, and they happened to send me an invitation. I attended it casually, and unexpectedly, I bumped into you. It reminded me of you because of your work on the firewall for their group. We put a lot of effort into trying to crack it, but we never succeeded. So, later on, you know the rest!"
