"Yeah... what's up?" Zhou Xueyin looked at the two of them, puzzled.
"He's pretty handsome, don't you think about making a move?" Li Jiniang teased, raising her eyebrows.
"Make a move? The guy has a girlfriend and is even planning to become an international son-in-law!" Zhou Xueyin waved her hand dismissively, "Besides, he and I are just buddies. The kind of buddies who come through for each other no matter what!"
That was true, although the two of them had met in the game, they had a lot in common and agreed on many things. They both jokingly called the other 'another self'.
Furthermore, Zhou Xueyin had always been there to help whenever Wei Jingzhu needed it.
So, this time when it came to helping out, she felt it was her duty; if she said she would help, she would!
"Pfft... How boring..." The two people, inadequately in character, went back to practicing their dance moves.
They knew Zhou Xueyin too well; if she said someone was just a buddy, then they were truly just a buddy, with no other ulterior motives—a purely platonic friendship between a man and a woman.
"Yinyin! Are all the friends you make such god-tier people?" Kang Siyin shouted from the workspace.
"Huh? What's up?" Zhou Xueyin strolled over leisurely.
"I added Wei Jingzhu's senior brother..." Kang Siyin said somewhat excitedly.
"Oh? What did his senior brother say?" Zhou Xueyin asked curiously.
"His senior brother has already received an offer from Microsoft in the United States—he's going to the United States at the end of the year!" It was rare to see Kang Siyin with such starry eyes, as if knowing a god-tier person reflected glory on herself as well.
"Microsoft in the United States, huh? That's awesome! You'd better take advantage of it! If you have any questions, ask them now! Otherwise, once the god-tier guy heads to the United States, you'll have to deal with the time difference." Zhou Xueyin smiled mischievously.
"Right! I have so many questions now, especially about this forum backup tool he developed!" Excited, Kang Siyin didn't wait for Zhou Xueyin to ask anything else and immediately went back to her seat, clattering away on the keyboard, starting a chat with Wei Jingzhu's senior brother.
As everyone busied themselves with their own tasks, Zhou Xueyin also opened up Ying Haiwei's refund page to check on the refund details.
However, there was no useful information at all. Even after scouring every part of the website thoroughly, she still had no idea whether she could continue to use the space after the refund.
"Forget it, just in case, I should find a free space as a backup. You never know..." Zhou Xueyin muttered to herself.
"Ding ding ding..." Someone messaged her on QQ.
When she checked, it was none other than Wei Jingzhu. He had safely arrived at his dormitory and had sent her a piece of news that could keep her happy all night: Wanwang was having a summer promotion, offering 50MB of space to use for free for one month.
Though it wasn't much space, it was free, which was better than having to pay. And if the refund came through in that month, wouldn't it be perfect to renew the rented space with Wanwang?
Excellent, absolutely fantastic!
Zhou Xueyin quickly registered an account with Wanwang and applied for the free package.
"KK!" Zhou Xueyin was ready to hand over this Wanwang space to Kang Siyin, but after calling her once, there was no response.
"KK? KK!" Zhou Xueyin called out twice more.
```
However, Kang Siyin was seriously looking at her own screen, occasionally showing a slight smile, completely unaware that Zhou Xueyin was calling her.
"Who are you chatting with? You seem so happy," Zhou Xueyin walked right up next to Kang Siyin and glanced at her screen.
"Yinyin! You scared me!" Kang Siyin was really startled by Zhou Xueyin suddenly appearing beside her and hurriedly closed the chat window.
"I've been calling your name three times, and you didn't respond..." Zhou Xueyin sat down on Kang Siyin's desk, "Come clean, who were you chatting with so intently?"
"It was Wei Jingzhu's senior," Kang Siyin said with great admiration, "This backup software, he bypassed Ying Haiwei's payment system and downloaded it directly from their server before decompiling it."
"That strong?" Zhou Xueyin was also surprised.
"The senior said that there's actually a flaw on Ying Haiwei's download page that allows one to use a compiler to find the download address directly," Kang Siyin explained nonchalantly, "But when I tried it, what the experts say is simple is difficult for us..."
"Exactly! It always sounds easier said than done!" Zhou Xueyin nodded understandingly, "Oh right! I applied for Wanwang's free trial package as a backup... just in case we need it. You set it up, I'll go apply for a refund from Ying Haiwei."
"Okay, leave it to me!" Kang Siyin nodded.
"I wonder how Jixiang and Shanshan are doing with their training..." Zhou Xueyin muttered to herself quietly while opening Ying Haiwei's refund page.
"Yinyin, no offense, but this free space provided by Wanwang is too small. Only 50MB..." Kang Siyin complained, proving there is no such thing as a free lunch.
"Let's make do. The main software of the forum isn't that large... If necessary, I'll just compress the images a bit more when I upload them... Besides, this is just a backup, just in case Ying Haiwei's service is still usable after the refund?" Zhou Xueyin adopted an attitude of giving it a try and applied for the refund.
However, what she never expected was that this refund page turned out to be a fake.
There was no detailed information for registering a refund, and Zhou Xueyin immediately felt that she might have been duped.
"KK, could you ask Xiaojing's senior how he registered for the refund?" Zhou Xueyin shared the issue of not being able to get a refund with Kang Siyin.
"Just a moment..." Soon Kang Siyin replied to Zhou Xueyin, stating that Wei Jingzhu's senior made the request just as the refund page went live, but the opposite side indicated that it would take 25 business days for a successful refund.
"25 business days? Are they insane..." Zhou Xueyin rolled her eyes upon hearing it.
"The senior also said that he seemed to have heard some rumors in the industry, claiming that this Ying Haiwei is not the Ying Haiwei we think it is..." Kang Siyin read out the message sent by Xiaojing's senior.
"It's over, it's all over..." Zhou Xueyin started biting her thumbnail nervously, "If what the senior said is true, I have a bad premonition..."
Zhou Xueyin's premonition wasn't wrong, before she could even finish speaking, Kang Siyin refreshed the forum and it was already inaccessible, the page showing a 503 error code.
This really caught them off guard; not only was their forum disconnected, but even Ying Haiwei's homepage was showing a 503 error.
"Is it because of my curse?" Zhou Xueyin was annoyed and wanted to slap herself for thinking about anything but the possibility that they would take the money and run.
"Maybe... let's wait for a bit? Maybe it's just a server issue with Ying Haiwei's company? If it's still not working tomorrow morning, then..." Kang Siyin comforted Zhou Xueyin.
"Then what?" Zhou Xueyin looked at Kang Siyin anxiously.
"If it's still not working tomorrow morning, let's call the police... Maybe they're really committing fraud using Ying Haiwei's name?" Kang Siyin was clear-headed at this moment.
